Cheng Xiaofan immediately pressed the answer button, and then he heard a hoarse male voice coming from the phone.
The man chuckled and said, "May I ask who you are? Are you the little Chinese farmer Cheng Xiaofan?"
"That's right. Who are you?" Cheng Xiaofan asked indifferently.
The man's tone still carried a hint of amusement as he said, "My name is Watanabe Iwao. In the Yamaguchi Prefecture area, even if Inoue Shoichi were alive, he would have to call me big brother!"
"What are your thoughts on this?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Watanabe Iwao, is it? I didn't understand what you said!"
Watanabe Iwao quickly replied, "I apologize, I didn't express myself clearly, so it's not your fault for not understanding."
"Alright, then I'll tell you the truth. Your little beauty, Matsushita Kōko, has been completely controlled by me. Tomorrow, when you come to Yamaguchi Prefecture in Sakura Country, the ceremony will proceed as planned, but you'll need to sign a contract with me, handing over all your Rejuvenation Pills to me."
"In addition, I need to take an eighty percent commission from the income of all your industries here!"
"Oh, and I must also tell you that if you want to establish yourself in the Sakura Country business world, you, a Chinese brat, must obey me obediently. I can grant you a bite to eat!"
"Do you understand what I mean?"
"Hahaha..."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan burst into loud laughter. "Watanabe Iwao, I still don't understand what you mean. How about this, I'll give you a chance to explain tomorrow, alright?"
"You..." On the other end of the phone, Watanabe Iwao was stunned into silence.
This Chinese kid was too arrogant!
How dare he be so presumptuous in front of me!
He gritted his teeth. "Cheng Xiaofan, I hope you find someone to inquire about who I, Watanabe Iwao, am. It's best not to speak casually in front of me!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled. "Do you think that's necessary?"
Watanabe Iwao said menacingly, "It's very necessary!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed. "Forget it. In my eyes, I don't consider you anything!"
*Snap!*
He directly hung up the phone.
On the other end, Watanabe Iwao's face turned ashen, and he roared, "Baka yaro, you're dead!"
*Ding!*
Just then, Cheng Xiaofan's phone chimed with a new message notification.
Cheng Xiaofan opened his phone and saw that the sender was Lu Shengming.
As his eyes scanned the content of Lu Shengming's message, he was stunned.
The message read: Cheng Xiaofan, I know you're going to Yamaguchi Prefecture in Sakura Country tomorrow. I'm telling you here, the opponent you'll encounter tomorrow, Watanabe Iwao, is no ordinary person.
Cheng Xiaofan was speechless.
What was going on with this Martial Affairs Bureau? Had they been secretly monitoring his every move in Sakura Country?
Did he have no freedom at all?
Thinking of this, Cheng Xiaofan felt a sense of unease.
However, on second thought, he had single-handedly wiped out the Blood Demon Sect in Sakura Country last time. Not long after, his own company group emerged in Yamaguchi Prefecture, causing such a stir. It was impossible not to attract the attention of the Martial Affairs Bureau.
Fine!
He accepted it!
Next, he looked at the information about Watanabe Iwao.
It turned out that Watanabe Iwao's parents were both important figures in the Yamaguchi-gumi.
Once, during an internal conflict within the Yamaguchi-gumi, Watanabe Iwao's parents took the wrong side and were pursued. The couple fled into the mountains with their son, slipped, and fell off a cliff, losing their lives.
Watanabe Iwao was fortunate to have landed on a thick pile of fallen leaves. Although his leg was broken, he survived.
At that time, Watanabe Iwao was only about three and a half years old.
As night fell, Watanabe Iwao was hungry and scared, crying profusely.
His cries attracted a she-wolf.
The she-wolf, seeing Watanabe Iwao, felt an overwhelming surge of affection and carried him to her den, feeding him with her milk.
For three consecutive years, Watanabe Iwao lived with the wolves.
Until one year, a cultivator named Chong Ba discovered Watanabe Iwao in the deep mountains and took him out of the wolf den.
From then on, Watanabe Iwao followed Chong Ba to cultivate ancient martial arts.
Ten years passed in a blink of an eye, and Watanabe Iwao had gained some fame in the Sakura Country cultivation world.
However, despite this, in the eyes of others, he was just a freak who had survived on wolf milk, and they didn't treat him as a human.
Wherever he went, people called him "wolf cub."
Enraged, Watanabe Iwao went into the deep mountains, found the she-wolf that had saved him, and brutally dismembered her.
He threw the fragmented body of the she-wolf in the street and declared, "From now on, anyone who dares to call me a wolf cub will end up like this wolf, torn to pieces."
Unexpectedly, Watanabe Iwao's actions angered the pack of wolves.
That night, a pack of one hundred and twenty wolves found their way to Watanabe Iwao's doorstep and surrounded his residence.
Watanabe Iwao seemed to have anticipated these wolves coming for revenge. Dressed in white robes, he held a samurai sword in his hands and a wooden bucket at his waist, and broke through the door.
That night, Watanabe Iwao, alone with his sword, fought the pack of wolves for an entire night. All one hundred and twenty wolves lay on the ground, scattered about.
And the wooden bucket at his side was filled with wolf blood.
His white robes were completely stained red with wolf blood.
For an entire morning, Watanabe Iwao sat at his door, drinking the entire bucket of wolf blood.
After Watanabe Iwao finished the bucket of wolf blood, with a loud *boom*, he achieved a brand new breakthrough in his cultivation realm.
He was a rogue cultivator!
No one knew how many levels he had broken through in that breakthrough.
He stood up and, with a single punch, collapsed his own house.
Watanabe Iwao, sword in hand, went to find his master, Chong Ba, and said, "You brought me into the cultivation world when you came into this world. Now that your mission is complete, you should leave this world!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he plunged his sword into Chong Ba's vital spot.
Next, he did something that even beasts would not dare to do. He defiled his master's wife and junior sister, and then killed them.
Some say that after drinking that bucket of wolf blood, he had transformed into a typical man-faced, wolf-hearted individual.
After entering this persona, he had stained the blood of countless innocent people, and under his command, he had gathered a group of desperate rogues.
Behind the information about Watanabe Iwao, Lu Shengming reiterated: Watanabe Iwao had only recently been released from prison.
Furthermore, he was sworn brothers with the elder brother of Yoshida Hideo from the Blood Demon Sect.
Cheng Xiaofan had heard that Yoshida Hideo's elder brother was named Yoshida Takeo, and he was the chief of the Yamaguchi Prefectural Police.
