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 left him with absolutely no goodwill towards that ungrateful rogue nation. He didn’t have time to deal with them now, but he could certainly give them a small warning. When he had time later, he’d pay them a proper visit!
“If you don’t want your plans exposed, then fine—I’ll make sure you’re completely exposed in broad daylight for a nice little sunbathing session!” Through his spiritual sense, Mu Lin knew everything happening in the reception hall. All of it had been recorded in the surveillance room. These recordings would become the Black Dragon Society’s trump card to threaten the participating 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 perform scans, it was powerless against certain hidden spots.
Mu Lin discovered these guys were truly cunning. Beneath the villa, there were several more surveillance rooms. One of them directly faced the reception hall, where two people were recording everything happening inside through concealed cameras installed there. The underground surveillance rooms and surrounding areas formed a vast underground world. The basement was at least thirty meters underground, connected to the surface only through pipes. The exit to this underground facility was located in the staff dormitory, and the surrounding walls were constructed from thick steel plates. It looked like this underground bunker was designed to withstand even a nuclear explosion—no wonder his spiritual sense hadn’t detected it.
Other surveillance rooms also effectively monitored the surface and surrounding areas using concealed cameras installed in various locations. These cameras were the latest military-grade far-infrared night vision models. No wonder the monitoring equipment in the villa’s surveillance room appeared so basic, with careless personnel manning it—the real operations were all happening underground.
Carefully examining this underground world, Mu Lin discovered a weapons depot stocked with the latest light and heavy military-standard weapons from Country U—enough to equip two thousand soldiers. It also contained military reconnaissance, communication, and medical equipment. Mu Lin thought that if he brought these things to Mei Zi, she would definitely love them. There were also chemical and biological weapons. These were likely either developed by the Japanese themselves or perhaps developed by Country U and then supplied to the Japanese. 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 were secretly stored within their borders, it would definitely create quite a stir.
There was also a storage room filled with large amounts of cash, gold, and jewelry—clearly their treasury. In one storage room, Mu Lin found special paper used for talismans and cinnabar and other tools for drawing talismans. “Great stuff!” he thought. “These must have been looted from China.” Mu Lin mused to himself. He hadn’t seen these kinds of items abroad for a long time. It seemed he’d need to make a trip to Japan soon. As for the finely crafted Japanese swords, Mu Lin didn’t give them a second glance. Now he understood—this facility hadn’t been built overnight.
Mu Lin was puzzled. How had the leaders of the Chinatown factions—the Xiongshi Gang and the Heihu Gang—failed to notice these Japanese underhanded activities? They were just playing big shots behind closed doors. If the Heilong Gang added just a few hundred more men, they could easily sweep through the entire Chinatown without breaking a sweat.
After scanning the central basement, Mu Lin immediately extended his true yuan force to paralyze the personnel in the underground surveillance room beneath the reception hall, then paralyzed the people in the reception hall itself. These people now sat completely motionless, gripped by an indescribable terror. Only their eyes and streams of sweat moved, creating an eerily bizarre scene.
Mu Lin didn’t have time to deal with these people right now. He continued scanning the entire estate inch by inch with his spiritual sense. After seeing the Japanese methods, he dared not overlook any suspicious spot, lest he alert them and leave behind hidden dangers.
Indeed, around the estate, Mu Lin discovered some silent automatic weapons under computer control—weaponry not yet deployed by Country U, clearly of their own design. These weapons were networked with the central basement’s computers and, through surface-mounted cameras, effectively covered the entire estate. Any unauthorized person would be eliminated by these automatic weapons once the underground surveillance personnel issued the command.
After confirming there were no further omissions, Mu Lin swiftly vanished into the basement, subdued all the surveillance personnel, and casually took a video camera to record all the weapons. Then he gathered most of the contents of the basement into his ring. He left behind some firearms and portions of the biological and chemical weapons. As for the computer systems connected to the automatic firearms, the surface-mounted infrared surveillance systems, and the automatic recording systems, he took those without hesitation—these were things that even 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 greatly shocked. According to the surveillance reports, Mu Lin was still at his clinic. His sudden appearance meant they had clearly run into an immovable wall.
“Gentlemen! Good evening! Didn’t expect to meet so soon, did you?” Mu Lin mocked them coldly.
“Well then! Since you all want my things so badly, I suppose it’s only fair I collect a little interest first?” Without releasing their pressure points and without caring whether they could respond, Mu Lin continued speaking as if to himself.
Actually, Mu Lin hated them so much it made his teeth itch. His intention now was to continue applying psychological pressure, increasing their inner fear to weaken their resistance, so he wouldn’t waste too much of his true yuan force when he used the Soul Search Technique on them. He didn’t want to expend too much energy on these scumbags.
“Alright, let’s start with the host first!” Mu Lin placed his hand on Inada’s head and, right in front of everyone, directly used the Soul Search Technique. After obtaining the information he wanted, Mu Lin released Inada, leaving behind a complete idiot.
Although their pressure points were all blocked, they could still see and hear. Seeing Inada’s vacant, lifeless eyes, the fear in the others’ hearts deepened even further.
This was exactly the effect Mu Lin wanted. You stab me? I’ll wipe out your entire family. Then, Mu Lin proceeded to use the Soul Search Technique on the remaining nine men, obtaining the bank account details where their secret funds were stored before returning to the basement.
At this point, Mu Lin opened several storage tanks containing chemical weapons. Immediately, green smoke began spreading from the basement through the passageways. The Japanese men in various rooms were soon murdered by their own weapons. Mu Lin quickly returned to the surface and, from a distance, used his true yuan force to open the storage containers of the biological weapons he had brought to the surface. He had no intention of getting contaminated. After ensuring that no living creature remained in the estate, Mu Lin picked up a public payphone on the street and called the police. Shaking his head, he felt a strange sense of detachment.
