Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 59: Whale Song (28)

Dragon Raja 5

Of course, Lu Mingfei also asked Crow if he remembered Chu Zihang, but Crow didn’t remember. He only remembered the Abdullah Abbas.

Lu Mingfei himself gradually accepted the current reality. He nodded when Crow said that and didn’t take it seriously. However, he didn’t expect that Chu Zihang’s casual sword dance seemed to awaken some of Crow’s memories.

“In the past that I remember, it was you who gave him this knife and another knife called Tongziqie. He put them in a knife bag and always carried it with him.” Lu Mingfei said softly.

“I still can’t remember anything. I’m just glad to see someone still has the nerve to act like this,” the crow murmured. “I miss it so much.”

The three people stood in the darkness far away, watching Chu Zihang carefully swinging and sheathing his sword, as smoothly as flowing water.

The bright light of the knife seemed to reflect the obliterated past.

The Airbus A380 passenger plane from London to Tokyo landed at Narita Airport. As soon as the plane stopped, a black station wagon drove to the bottom of the gangway.

While the other passengers were still trapped in the plane, the girl in a black windbreaker had already taken the lead, carrying her heavy luggage off the plane and boarding the van to leave.

“Do foreigners get this kind of preferential treatment in Japan? Maybe they’re diplomats or something?”

“How can there be such a young diplomat? A member of the royal family, perhaps?”

The old men and women in the returning tour group looked at the girl’s slender back and talked a lot.

There was already a passenger in the van, also a young girl with long light brown hair and a beige windbreaker, looking capable and low-key.

“Victoria Snowton, just call me Victoria. I’m a sophomore and currently working as a temporary specialist in the executive department.” The girl in the black windbreaker who had just gotten on the bus introduced herself.

“I’ve heard of you, Your Highness. You’ve performed very well among the freshmen.” The girl in the beige windbreaker extended her hand.

The two shook hands.

“What’s the situation now?” Victoria asked.

“Just like EVA’s judgment, Lu Mingfei has indeed arrived in Tokyo, and he is currently hiding somewhere in the city.”

“What’s the attitude of the Sheqi Eight Clans? This is their territory.”

“The acting director of the Snake Eight Clans, Tatsuji Saeki, expressed his support for the academy’s decision and pledged to report any intelligence on Lu Mingfei to the academy. The next day, he led his team to surround Lu Mingfei and his group, but failed to capture him. Instead, he was kidnapped and held hostage by Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei and the hostage safely left their previous hiding place. The next morning, Tatsuji Saeki was pushed out of a taxi at Genji Heavy Industries, the headquarters of the Snake Eight Clans.”

“That’s too suspicious.”

“It’s indeed suspicious. Especially since we investigated Ryuji Saeki’s background. His nickname is Crow, and he was once a follower of the former head of the Snake Eight Families, Minamoto Chisei. He knew Lu Mingfei very well.”

“Is anyone watching Ryuji Saeki?”

“The academy’s agent, Fujiwara Nobunosuke, is in charge of this matter. He’s currently visiting Genji Heavy Industries,” the girl in the beige windbreaker said. “Did you bring the equipment?”

Victoria opened her suitcase and found a heavy black gun inside. This weapon was not listed in any firearms catalogue because it was not a mass-produced version.

Produced by the Equipment Department, it has a maximum hit range of three kilometers and is equipped with an intelligent aiming system. The bullets can be guided, can withstand strong winds, and can follow an arc trajectory.

This thing probably can’t be called a gun. It would be more appropriate to call it a long-range precision killing weapon.

The girl in the beige windbreaker nodded. “Put it away. If this weapon is confiscated by customs, it will be a big problem. That’s why I specially used the diplomatic channel to pick you up.”

“Are you the person in charge of this operation?” Victoria asked. “I don’t know your name yet.”

Victoria introduced herself, but the girl in the beige trench coat didn’t say her name. It was clear they were partners in this operation, which surprised Victoria. She didn’t seem like the kind of person who would be impolite.

Besides, the other person looked vaguely familiar, but Victoria couldn’t remember where she had seen her.

“We met at a student union event,” the girl in the beige windbreaker said softly, “My name is Isabel, and I used to be President Lu Mingfei’s assistant.”

Victoria was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered. It was Isabel, the flamenco dancer and the head of the student union dance troupe. She always appeared low-key around Lu Mingfei, yet it was hard not to notice her.

The dancer with lace on her skirt and a swan-like graceful figure now appeared with a sharp posture like a scalpel. Victoria did not recognize her for a moment.

“So it’s you,” Victoria said.

She suddenly understood why Isabel had never introduced herself.

Because of embarrassment, she used to be one of the closest people to Lu Mingfei, but now she is a hound hunting Lu Mingfei.

“You were chosen to join this group because you’ve had contact with him and know him to some extent,” Isabel said softly. “Everyone in this group is like that. A good hound must know the scent of its prey.”
