The needed items have been acquired, Yamamoto is in a very good mood.

However, for the sake of safety, Yamamoto did not linger at the auction house but chose to leave immediately, worried that someone might target him.

Unlike the other guests who know nothing about the final three items at the auction, Yamamoto knows about one crucial treasure that does not need to be obtained.

This is an order from the Japan headquarters, and Japan specially collected a large fund for this treasure.

It was for this reason that, when competing with Qu Yuancheng, Yamamoto was so confident.

This item is one that the Japan headquarters must acquire, willing to pay an astronomical auction price for it, naturally not caring who the competitors are.

This is the mechanical box he obtained, while the blue and white porcelain was just along the way.

Yamamoto isn't very clear on how the Japan headquarters knew of the mechanical box's existence, but seeing how they knew about this auction item in advance, they must have had their eye on it for some time.

Qin Fang could recognize the mechanical box mainly because of his reconnaissance skills, and also because he is associated with the Thousand Gate.

But this does not mean that no one else can recognize the box as a mechanical box, as the heir of Thousand Gate's Mechanical Techniques, for example, would certainly be able to recognize it...

Other Thousand Gate experts, perhaps having seen it or read related ancient texts, could also identify this extremely rare treasure.

Although Japan is not Dragon Country, nearly a thousand years ago in the Tang dynasty, Japan, as a vassal state of Dragon Country, came many times to pay respect, contributed numerous treasures, and received various rare items, possibly including mechanical boxes...

Of course, if Qin Fang knew about this, he might inevitably have some thoughts about it.

Besides this, there was another reason prompting Yamamoto to quickly leave the auction house, and that is...

"Mr. Miyamoto has arrived? That's great..."

Upon hearing this good news, Yamamoto immediately expanded with joy, seeming very happy, his previously suppressed emotions fully released.

Having repeatedly been oppressed and faced by Qin Fang, Yamamoto held a grudge, but unfortunately, several attempts ended in crushing defeat, greatly embarrassing Yamamoto.

Thus, he tried every possible way to regain his pride, hiring experts was a relatively simple yet very direct approach.

The one called Miyamoto is an expert he invited back from Japan, especially due to Qin Fang's overwhelming strength.

Miyamoto may not have the fame of Karate Kyokushin-ryu grandmaster Kyokushin Genichi, but in terms of ability, Kyokushin Genichi couldn't even lace Miyamoto's shoes.

Although many Japanese praise Karate as national arts, in reality, its performance aspect far exceeds practical combat, the true martial art said to be Japan's best is... Ninjutsu.

This Ninjutsu, evolved from Dragon Country's martial arts and Thousand Skills, is admired by Japanese experts as a supreme art and has become a symbol of Japanese mastery.

Those who practice martial arts, although fewer practice Ninjutsu than Karate, in terms of strength, a Ninjutsu expert at the same level far surpasses a Karate expert...

Ninjutsu experts, also called ninjas, are a unique profession of Japan, no other country has such a career.

Almost all of Japan's top-ranked experts are born ninjas, only a few are different, which illustrates the power of ninjas.

Moreover, in the underground world, the number of Ninjutsu experts is considerable, particularly in the Assassin's Alliance, as ninjas are naturally skilled in assassination.

The reason Yamamoto invited Miyamoto was because Miyamoto is an expert, and also a Ninjutsu expert—a ninja infinitely close to the Upper Ninja level Middle Level Ninja.

A Master-level Ninja can be promoted to Upper Ninja, so one who is infinitely close to Upper Ninja is also infinitely close to grandmaster-level...

Yamamoto decided to have Miyamoto invited because, although his fighting strength may appear slightly weaker than Kyokushin-ryu Grandmaster Kyokushin Genichi, in terms of assassination, Kyokushin Genichi can't even compete with Miyamoto's little finger.

If the two are engaged in a life-or-death fight, Miyamoto could kill Kyokushin Genichi as easily as killing a chicken...

Last time with Qin Fang, Kyokushin Genichi was quickly defeated by Qin Fang, disgracing Yamamoto, this time it is not about a fair duel, it's an assassination... naturally, this quasi-master level ninja Miyamoto is far superior to master level Kyokushin Genichi.

This news of Miyamoto's arrival is why Yamamoto was particularly thrilled...

Along the way, Qin Fang was vigorously pursuing, but this road was not the right place for action, so he waited until Yamamoto brought the items into a luxury villa before quietly following.

This is a luxurious villa, located in Hong Kong Island's Repulse Bay, definitely an expensive mansion, but this villa is not listed under Yamaguchi Group, rather, it is privately owned by Yamamoto.

Don't be fooled by the private location here; the defense surrounding it is very advanced, almost comparable to the Number 36 Villa where Han Long used to live.

However, those responsible for surveillance here, besides the usual servants of the villa, include some henchmen from the Yamaguchi Group, which is weaker than Han Long's mercenaries during his time here...

Moreover, there are no terrifying criminals like the Bloody Demon Tu San here, so for Qin Fang, this is quite good news.

The night is hazy, a crescent moon hangs in the sky, emitting a faint silver light, slightly illuminating the ground, although not very clear, it allows for barely distinguishing the route.

Qin Fang didn't care about this, found a suitable breakthrough point, and quietly infiltrated this villa...

Of course, before entering the villa, Qin Fang specially changed his outfit and his face. After making these preparations, Qin Fang proceeded to enter.

...

Inside the villa.

"Mr. Miyamoto, welcome to Hong Kong Island..."

As soon as Yamamoto nearly walked in, he saw Miyamoto sitting properly in the living room and immediately rushed over, taking the initiative to greet him.

In Japan, ninja training is extremely grueling and difficult, but their status is relatively high, not only in the past, but also now.

Hence, seeing this solemnly seated Miyamoto, Yamamoto appeared very humble and courteous, vastly different from the arrogance and domineering attitude he showed to outsiders.

This is understandable; the Yakuza always bullied the weak and feared the strong. When facing someone more powerful, they acted docile beyond measure.

Especially for a ninja like Miyamoto, Yamamoto dared not be remotely disrespectful, not because he feared Miyamoto would turn against him, as he had the backing of both the Yamaguchi Group and the large Yamamoto family, not something an ordinary ninja like Miyamoto could casually challenge.

Even so, Yamamoto remained courteous towards Miyamoto, clearly worried that Miyamoto might not be very committed to the task at hand.

"Hello, Mr. Yamamoto..."

Miyamoto was a man in his thirties, seemingly a bit thin in build, but the sharp gleam emanating from his long, narrow eyes made Yamamoto's heart tremble.

Miyamoto was not only a martial artist but also reputedly an assassin, with not an insignificant number falling at his hands; truly an expert with blood-stained hands...

Though Yamamoto was involved in the underworld and accustomed to all sorts of bloody battles, compared to superficial cuts, Miyamoto's ninja assassination art seemed extraordinarily strange and powerful.

Many people, after being killed by ninjas, might die without ever knowing what happened to them?

This is precisely the terror inherent in ninja assassination art...

"Please wait for a moment, Mr. Miyamoto, I will be right back..."

Yamamoto originally couldn't wait to explain to Miyamoto about Qin Fang's identity, background, strength, and other aspects, but suddenly recalled that he was holding an expensive mechanical box, quickly swallowed his words, and aimed to store this item first.

Though the blue and white porcelain was indeed precious, it paled in comparison to the mechanical box, and Yamamoto was pretty clear about the priorities here.

"Who is it?"

But just then, Miyamoto, who was about to answer, suddenly changed his expression, and called out sharply.

This was spoken in Japanese, but Qin Fang, hidden in the shadows, could understand it, also couldn't help but feel slightly surprised.

"Hmm? Been detected?"

Hearing Miyamoto's loud exclamation, Qin Fang, hidden in the shadow, was momentarily taken aback, evidently surprised at Miyamoto's keen perception.

After swiftly scanning the small map, he discovered that besides Yamamoto and Miyamoto, and himself hidden, there was no one else in this living room, making Qin Fang realize he might have been inadvertently perceived by Miyamoto.

"So, there's another expert here..."

Qin Fang wasn't particularly nervous about being discovered by Miyamoto; he merely pondered briefly but made no rash moves, staying quietly in the corner, completely still.

He neither chose to leave quickly nor risked taking sudden action but maintained his stealth position, not caring whether Miyamoto had indeed sensed his hideout! (To be continued.
