501: This is a cruel person

“Commander Daowei, you are too kind.”

“May I ask if your side has found the culprit?”

Facing Inao Kazuhisa, who was all smiles, Wang Chen merely nodded indifferently, pulling Ice Purity’s hand as he stepped into the manor.

He looked at the soldiers standing ready around them and said calmly,

“If he had been found, I would have been spared some trouble today.”

“Commander Wang, rest assured.”

Seeing Wang Chen’s nonchalant demeanor, Inao Kazuhisa’s heart trembled.

He had brought out all of his thousand-man squad soldiers, who were standing behind the manor gate.

Although they did not display killing intent, after years of bloody battles, each soldier carried a considerable amount of Evil Qi.

With hundreds of people standing together, let alone a “child” of Wang Chen’s age, even a seasoned Seven-Turn Professional would involuntarily tense up.

But in contrast, Wang Chen remained completely unaffected.

This, in turn, made Inao Kazuhisa regard Wang Chen with even greater respect.

The title of the world’s number one Prodigy was indeed well-deserved!

“After I returned, I thoroughly investigated this matter, and indeed found that ill-intentioned madman in the army.”

“I had intended to hand him over to Commander Wang for disposal immediately, but since the Commander was promoting to 5th Rank before, I temporarily postponed this matter.”

Inao Kazuhisa waved his hand, dismissing the soldiers standing on both sides, and led the way forward, speaking to Wang Chen with a grim tone.

“Oh?”

Wang Chen let out a surprised sound, looking at Inao Kazuhisa with a hint of astonishment.

He had always kept Manoya Tomoaki hidden in the shadows, and he was now ten steps behind him.

Inao Kazuhisa now claimed to have found the culprit, clearly having found a scapegoat.

But...

The identity of this scapegoat must be extraordinary.

Otherwise, Inao Kazuhisa would not be able to speak with such conviction at this moment.

For a moment, Wang Chen had intended to directly cause trouble upon entering the manor, but now he was intrigued.

“Who could be so audacious? This Commander would like to see him.”

With an unchanging expression, Wang Chen’s tone carried a hint of imperceptible sarcasm.

“Commander Wang, please look.”

Inao Kazuhisa seemed not to notice, extending his hand and pointing forward.

At this moment, the surrounding soldiers parted, creating a path, and two burly men dragged over a man who was barely recognizable as human.

His limbs were twisted at odd angles, his body was covered in bloodstains and various-sized wounds; if not for the slight rise and fall of his chest, anyone would have thought it was a corpse.

Bang!

The two burly men threw the man onto the ground; the pain caused his body to twitch, and his eyes opened, revealing dark, hollow blood holes beneath.

“Hiss!”

“This Inao Kazuhisa is truly a ruthless man!”

Upon seeing this scene, Wang Chen took a deep breath, his eyes somewhat shaken.

To torture someone to this extent clearly indicated that he was trying to show that this culprit was extremely difficult to apprehend and was only confirmed after severe torture.

But unfortunately, no matter how much importance Inao Kazuhisa showed, it was useless; the true instigator of the incident was right beside him, and the one who carried it out was right behind him.

The so-called culprit he handed over, Wang Chen knew without looking, was a fake.

At this moment.

“Commander Wang, this man is one of my Centurions, named Takizawa Tuyi.”

“After seeing the Commander on the city wall today, he could not suppress the hatred in his heart and attacked Lord Ansuosi, attempting to provoke a conflict.”

“Fortunately, Commander Wang saw the bigger picture and was not fooled by this scoundrel’s clumsy tactics.”

Inao Kazuhisa pointed at Takizawa Tuyi on the ground, speaking to Wang Chen with indignation.

Hearing his words, before Wang Chen could say anything, Takizawa Tuyi, awakened by the pain, began to writhe in anger.

Although his eyes had been gouged out, he stared fixedly at Inao Kazuhisa, his face full of venom.

“Inao... Kazuhisa... will... not... die... well!”

At the same time, he was mumbling curses.

While he was speaking, it was evident that all his teeth had been forcibly pulled out, and only the root of his tongue remained.

Clearly, Inao Kazuhisa had taken these precautions to prevent him from saying the wrong thing.

“Directly using a Centurion as a scapegoat, and one from the Takizawa Family, with whom I have a long-standing grudge?”

“Inao Kazuhisa is certainly decisive!”

“If that incident before was truly an accident, this person would be enough to pay for Lord Ansuosi’s life!”

“But unfortunately...”

Wang Chen shook his head, looking at Takizawa Tuyi on the ground with no pity.

Inao Kazuhisa’s actions were truly wasted on him!

No matter what, he would not let this guy off today.

“Does Commander Wang still have doubts?”

Seeing Wang Chen shake his head, a deep look flashed in Inao Kazuhisa’s eyes.

This Takizawa Tuyi was a choice he had made with great difficulty.

One must know that the Takizawa Family held considerable power in Sakura Country, and his actions were tantamount to tearing apart relations with them.

Moreover, using his subordinate Centurion as a scapegoat was a huge blow to his prestige within the thousand-man squad.

The other Centurions under him already looked at him with vigilance, no longer with the trust they once had.

If, after paying such a heavy price, Wang Chen still insisted on pursuing the matter, then he would have no choice but to fight to the death today.

For a moment, after Inao Kazuhisa’s words fell, he stared fixedly at Wang Chen, his expression gradually turning cold.

“No, not at all.”

“Commander Daowei’s handling is very appropriate.”

“Since the culprit has been apprehended, I will take him back to give Lord Ansuosi’s relatives an explanation.”

Wang Chen glanced at Inao Kazuhisa, speaking in a calm tone.

Hearing this, Inao Kazuhisa’s face broke into a smile.

Very good.

He didn’t cling to it; today’s matter was settled.

Once he returned to the Prosperity Legion and reported the situation here to Legion Commander, he would return today’s grudge a thousandfold, a hundredfold.

“It’s good that Commander Wang is satisfied, then this culprit is yours to deal with.”

“Outside…”

As Inao Kazuhisa spoke, he smiled and pointed outside the manor.

“Don’t worry.”

“Since Commander Daowei is willing to cooperate, they will withdraw immediately.”

Wang Chen nodded, raising his hand to take out his communicator, seemingly about to issue an order to the thousand-man squad outside.

Seeing this, Inao Kazuhisa quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment.

Whoosh!

An extremely faint sound of air being torn suddenly echoed in the field.

“Not good!”

Inao Kazuhisa’s pupils contracted, seeing a ghost-like figure appear beside Wang Chen.

“Legion Commander is truly a brilliant strategist; today, he will eliminate this great enemy for our Sakura Country.”

Before he could react, he heard a thunderous shout in his ear.

The next second.

Swish swish swish!!

Blade light exploded around Wang Chen like lightning, directly enveloping his entire body.

“Damn it!”

“Manoya Tomoaki?”

“Are you trying to harm me again?!”

Inao Kazuhisa instantly flew into a rage, unable to think, and rushed forward to intercept the attack.
