Hmph! Mu Lin snorted angrily. He never expected to be targeted by that despicable country. They were behind everything.
The education Mu Lin received from his teachers gave him absolutely no goodwill towards that ungrateful rogue nation. Right now he didn’t have much time, but he could still give them a small warning. When he had more time, he’d go visit their country for a proper “tour.”
“You don’t want to expose yourselves? Fine, then I’ll make sure you’re completely exposed in broad daylight and get a good sunbath.” Through his spiritual sense, Mu Lin knew everything happening in the living room. All the footage was recorded in the surveillance room. These recordings would later become the Black Dragon Society’s trump card for blackmailing the involved gangs. That’s why Inada, that little Japanese punk, wasn’t afraid of the gang leaders turning against him.
Mu Lin carefully moved his body forward, waiting until he was within range of his spiritual scanning ability before scanning the room again. Although his spiritual sense could also scan the area, it was powerless against some hidden spots.
Mu Lin discovered these guys were truly cunning. Beneath the villa, there were several more monitoring rooms. One of the monitoring rooms faced the living room directly, where two people were recording everything happening in the living room through hidden cameras. The underground monitoring rooms and surrounding areas formed a vast underground world. The basement was at least 30 meters underground, connected to the surface only through pipes. The exit to the basement was located in the staff dormitory, and its surrounding walls were made of thick steel plates. It seemed this basement could even withstand a nuclear explosion—no wonder his spiritual sense hadn’t detected it.
Other monitoring rooms also used hidden cameras placed around the area to form effective surveillance of the surface and surroundings. These cameras were currently the most advanced military-grade infrared night vision cameras. No wonder the surveillance room equipment on the villa’s surface was so basic and the personnel so careless—all the real action was underground.
Examining the underground world carefully, Mu Lin found a weapons depot equipped with the latest light and heavy military-standard weapons from Country U, enough to arm two thousand people. It also contained military reconnaissance, communication, and first-aid equipment. Mu Lin thought if he brought these things to Meizi, she would definitely love them. There were also some chemical and biological weapons. These probably were either developed by the Japanese themselves or by Country U and then supplied to Japan. Mu Lin knew that countries around the world had banned the development of chemical and biological weapons. If the media in Country U found out that large quantities of such weapons still existed within their borders, it would definitely stir up a huge scandal.
There was another storage room filled with large amounts of cash, gold, jewelry, and other valuables—it was clearly their vault. In one storage room, Mu Lin discovered some specially made paper for talisman-making, along with cinnabar and other talisman-drawing tools. “Excellent stuff!” he thought. These were definitely looted from China. Mu Lin mused that he hadn’t seen such items for a long time while abroad. It seemed he would need to pay Japan a visit soon. As for the finely crafted Japanese swords, Mu Lin paid them no attention. Now he understood that the construction of this facility hadn’t been completed in a short time.
Hmph! Mu Lin snorted angrily. He never expected that despicable country to set their sights on him. Everything was their doing.
The education Mu Lin received from his teachers left him with no goodwill toward that ungrateful rogue nation. Though he didn’t have time now, he could still give them a little misfortune. Once he had the time, he’d pay that country a proper visit!
You don’t want your targets exposed? Fine, then I’ll make sure they’re completely laid bare under the sun. Through his psychic senses, Mu Lin knew everything that happened in the meeting room had been recorded in the surveillance room. These recordings would later become the Black Dragon Society’s trump card to threaten the gangs involved. That’s why Inada, that little Japanese, wasn’t afraid of these gang bosses turning against him.
Mu Lin carefully shifted his position until he was within range to use his spiritual sense, scanning the room once more. Though his psychic senses could also scan, they were powerless against hidden spots.
He discovered just how sinister these people were. Beneath the villa were several monitoring rooms, one of which faced the meeting room. Inside, two people were recording everything through hidden cameras installed there. The underground monitoring rooms and surrounding chambers formed a vast subterranean world, at least 30 meters below ground, connected to the surface via pipes. The exit was located in the staff dormitory, with thick steel plates reinforcing the walls. No wonder his psychic senses hadn’t detected it—this place could probably withstand a nuclear explosion.
The other monitoring rooms also utilized concealed cameras to effectively surveil the surface and surroundings. These were the most advanced military-grade infrared night-vision cameras available. No wonder the villa’s monitoring equipment seemed crude and the staff careless—the real setup was underground.
Examining the underground world closely, Mu Lin found an armory stocked with the most advanced heavy and light military-standard weapons from Country U, enough to equip 2,000 people. There were also military reconnaissance, communication, and first-aid tools. He thought Mei Zi would love these if he brought them to her. Additionally, there were chemical and biological weapons—likely developed by the Japanese themselves, or perhaps supplied by Country U. Mu Lin knew most nations banned such weapons. If Country U’s media found out about this stockpile, it would cause quite a stir.
Another storage room held piles of cash, gold, and jewelry—their treasury. In yet another, Mu Lin found special talisman-making paper, cinnabar, and other ritual tools. Good stuff! These must have been looted from China. He hadn’t seen such things in a long time abroad. Maybe it was time for a trip to Japan. As for the finely crafted Japanese blades, he dismissed them with a sneer. Now he understood this facility couldn’t have been built overnight.
Mu Lin wondered why the Lion Gang and Black Tiger Gang, the top two powers in Chinatown, hadn’t noticed the Japanese’s schemes. Shutting themselves in as bosses, they’d be effortlessly swept aside if the Black Dragon Society added a few hundred more men.
After scanning the central underground chamber, Mu Lin extended his true energy to immobilize the surveillance staff beneath the meeting room, then did the same to those inside. Now, they sat frozen, their terror palpable as only their eyes and sweat betrayed their fear—an eerie sight.
Mu Lin had no time to deal with them yet. He continued scanning the entire estate inch by inch with his spiritual sense. Seeing the Japanese’s methods, he dared not overlook any detail, lest he alert them and leave future trouble.
Sure enough, around the estate, he found automated silent weapons—unseen even in Country U’s military. These were likely their own inventions, networked with the central underground computers and covering the entire estate via surface cameras. Anyone unauthorized could be eliminated at the push of a button.
Finding nothing else amiss, Mu Lin flashed into the underground chamber, subdued all surveillance personnel, and filmed the weapons with a camera. He then looted most of the supplies into his spatial ring, leaving only some firearms and a portion of the bio-chemical weapons. The computerized systems linked to the automated guns, surface infrared surveillance, and recording setups—all priceless—were also taken without hesitation.
Now, it was time to deal with the group upstairs. When Mu Lin suddenly appeared, they were stunned. According to their surveillance, he was still at his clinic. His presence meant they’d hit a dead end.
“Good evening, everyone! Didn’t expect to see me so soon, did you?” Mu Lin sneered mockingly.
“Since you all wanted my things so badly, I think it’s only fair I collect some interest first.” He ignored their immobilized states, not bothering to undo their acupoints or wait for replies.
Truthfully, Mu Lin loathed them to the core. Now, he wanted to amplify their fear, weakening their mental resistance so his Soul-Searching Technique wouldn’t waste too much of his true energy. These scum weren’t worth the effort.
“Let’s start with the host.” Placing his hand on Inada’s head, Mu Lin performed the Soul-Searching Technique in front of everyone. Once he extracted what he needed, he released Inada—now a drooling idiot.
Though paralyzed, the others could see and hear. Witnessing Inada’s vacant stare deepened their terror.
This was exactly the effect Mu Lin wanted. You stab me once? I’ll wipe out your whole family. One by one, he used the technique on the remaining nine, extracting their secret bank accounts before returning underground.
There, he opened several chemical weapon canisters. A green mist soon spread through the tunnels, silently killing every Japanese in the rooms. Mu Lin swiftly returned to the surface, using his true energy from a distance to open the bio-weapon containers—he wanted no contact.
Once no living thing remained in the estate, Mu Lin picked up a public phone and called the police. Shaking his head, he muttered, “This feels… strange.”
After scanning the central basement, Mu Lin immediately extended his true yuan-force to paralyze the personnel in the underground monitoring room of the living area, then paralyzed everyone in the living room as well. Now those people sat completely motionless, gripped by an indescribable terror. Only their eyes and sweat moved, creating a bizarre and eerie scene.
Mu Lin had no time to deal with them right now. He continued scanning the entire estate inch by inch using his spiritual sense. After seeing the Japanese methods, he dared not overlook any suspicious spot, lest he scare them off and leave behind hidden dangers.
Indeed, around the estate’s perimeter, Mu Lin discovered some silent, automated weapons systems not yet deployed by Country U’s military—clearly of Japanese origin. These weapons were networked with the central basement’s computers and, through surface-mounted cameras, provided full coverage of the estate grounds. Any unauthorized person would be targeted and eliminated on command from the monitoring personnel in the basement.
After confirming there were no further blind spots, Mu Lin quickly vanished into the basement, subdued all the monitoring personnel, and casually took a camera to record all the weapons. Then he gathered most of the basement’s contents into his ring. He left behind some firearms and a portion of the biological and chemical weapons. As for the computer systems connected to the automated firearms, the ground-based infrared surveillance systems, and the automatic recording systems, Mu Lin took them without hesitation—they were treasures money couldn’t buy.
Now the only thing left was to deal with the people upstairs. When Mu Lin suddenly appeared before them, they were all shocked. According to the surveillance reports, Mu Lin was still at his clinic. His sudden appearance meant they had clearly hit a dead end.
“Gentlemen! Good evening! Didn’t expect to meet so soon, did you?” Mu Lin mocked coldly.
“Well then! Since you all so desperately want my things, it’s only fair I collect a little interest first, right?” Without releasing their pressure points or waiting for their response, Mu Lin continued speaking as if to himself.
Actually, Mu Lin hated them so much it made his teeth itch. His goal now was to increase their psychological pressure and deepen their fear, reducing their inner resistance so he wouldn’t waste too much of his true yuan-force when using the Soul Search Technique on them. He had no intention of wasting much energy on these scumbags.
“Alright, let’s start with the host!” Mu Lin placed his hand on Inada’s head and directly used the Soul Search Technique in front of everyone. After obtaining the information he wanted, he released Inada, leaving behind a complete idiot.
Although their pressure points were blocked, they could still see and hear. Seeing Inada’s vacant, lifeless gaze, their fear deepened even further.
This was exactly the effect Mu Lin wanted. You stab me? I wipe out your entire family. Then, one after another, Mu Lin used the Soul Search Technique on the remaining nine people. After obtaining the bank account information for their secret funds, he returned to the basement.
At this point, Mu Lin opened several storage tanks containing chemical weapons. Soon, green smoke began spreading from the basement through the corridors. The Japanese people in various rooms were quickly killed by their own weapons. Mu Lin quickly returned to the surface and, from a distance, used his true yuan-force to open the containers of biological weapons he had brought up earlier. He had no intention of getting contaminated. After confirming that no living beings remained in the estate, Mu Lin used a public phone by the roadside to call the police.
Shaking his head, he felt a strange sensation.
