Tokyo Detective

Chapter 378 Chao Xiong Writes the Character "Courage" on His Chest

As dawn broke over New York, the tsunami from three days earlier continued to rage in America, and the entire government was operating at full capacity.

Sarah Morgans woke up from her deep sleep, touched the side of her and found that the man was not there. The sound of water in the bathroom proved that he was inside, but the terrible pain in her body made her frown slightly.

"What a monster."

"By the way, who is Diana? Does she look a lot like me?"

Although DC Comics exists in this world, the actors who portray various superheroes are no longer the same people, so she didn't make many connections.

Putting aside the shock of the affair, Sarah was still in a terrible state of mind. How could she possibly get rid of that guy and the forces behind him?
Just then, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, the bathroom door opened, and the next second Sarah saw the man's appearance and was immediately shocked. She quickly pulled the blanket over her beautiful body and sternly shouted to stop him.

"Who are you, and how did you get in?"

Sarah thought of countless possibilities in an instant: was this person Clark (Naoki Hanyu)'s companion, treating her like a whore and wanting to play with her at will?

This speculation made her want to die; although she was afraid of death, she absolutely could not suffer such humiliation.

The man approached with an indifferent expression, and his perfect physique gave the woman a strange sense of familiarity.

“I am Clark, look at my face.”

Along with the changes in Naoki Hanyu's facial muscles, another handsome, masculine face with strong male hormones has emerged.

Sarah blushed as she looked at that handsome face. The reason she agreed to offer herself to him last night was because of his face, which suited her aesthetic. After all, women are also creatures of appearance.

That perfect figure, that magnetic voice, and that chiseled handsome face—he was a real heartbreaker.

Now that he was saying that this wasn't his real appearance, she was immediately worried. How old was this person, and what did he really look like?

Judging from his perfectly sculpted muscles, he probably isn't that big; perhaps his real face is quite ordinary?
Naoki Hanyu could, of course, guess what the other party was thinking.

"Are you trying to guess my real identity, age, appearance, or something like that?"

Sarah nodded honestly.

"I have indeed thought about it."

"I can't show you my real face unless you gain my complete trust. But I can tell you I'm under 40 and very handsome."

"."

Do you think you can just say whatever you want?

Naoki Hanyu sat next to the other person, rubbing his palm against the body covered in marks.

"I need you to take care of someone for me, to be precise, a teenage girl."

"who is it?"

Naoki Hanyu took out a picture of Fatima from the bedside table, which immediately startled Sarah, who stared wide-eyed.

"It's her, number 103."

Naoki Hanyu played with it while asking a question out of curiosity.

"You know her? Oh, I almost forgot you're Oliver's secretary."

"She's one of the finished products; it would be troublesome if she were discovered."

Naoki Hanyu cupped the delicate, pretty face in his hands and pressed his forehead against the other person's.

"Don't worry, I've destroyed all the data on the island. Besides, you're the owner of Qiangming Pharmaceuticals, so it's normal for you to have a finished product with you. Nobody knows if Fatima was still on the island before I conquered it."

Naoki Hanyu had considered where Fatima should hide, and after thinking it over, he decided that it would be best to keep her near Sara.

It was impossible for him to bring Fatima back to Tokyo, or even to Japan. If he were discovered, it would attract America's attention, which was too risky. So it was best to keep her with Sarah, who had a legitimate excuse.

"You want to gain my trust, right? Help me adopt her, protect her well, and research her self-healing ability. Of course, all of this requires Fatima's consent. I don't want to rescue her from one cell only to put her back in another, unable to be free. She needs to study and make new friends."

"."

After a few seconds of silence, Sarah Morgans finally nodded in agreement.

Firstly, she wanted to gain the trust of the man in front of her. Secondly, if she could develop a method for limb regeneration, or even just improve the healing speed, she could revive the severely damaged Qiangming Pharmaceuticals.

Although she received $61 billion, she didn't want to give up. She wanted to become a top female billionaire, worth tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions, and then use money to make the men in front of her kneel down and beg for mercy.

"I promise you."

"Good boy, you're all dirty and need to wash up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Naoki Hanyu picked up the screaming woman and carried her to the bathroom.

"No, my body still hurts."

"You're nothing but an animal."
.
Meanwhile, the American government was also taking full action, with each special envoy being escorted by soldiers to their respective bases.

They wanted to investigate which base the destroyer and the Dark Hawk hypersonic missile originated from, but unfortunately, they found nothing. So the government's suspicions remained. Surely the destroyer and Dark Hawk couldn't have just sprung from rocks? If the weapons that could connect to their military network systems were foreign-made, then America's demise wasn't far off.

Unfortunately, despite increasing the intensity of the investigation every day, no breakthrough has been found.

Meanwhile, at Raytheon's technical headquarters, Johns Kenda, Raytheon's chief engineer, was about to face an inquiry from the FBI regarding Raytheon's powered armor.

When Johns announced the theft of the power armor, the deputy director of the Bureau of Investigation looked pleasantly surprised. Did they find a lead so quickly?
Given Johns and Thor's status, it would have been difficult for even a deputy director like him to investigate, let alone an ordinary investigator. Unexpectedly, they actually found a clue right after arriving.

Now he has no choice but to take action against Thor's technology, even if it goes all the way to the White House, they will approve of his actions, since even the president is extremely busy with this matter.

This is no ordinary terrorist attack; it's the result of a traitor within the organization's own ranks. Today they dare to sink a destroyer, and tomorrow they might storm the White House and kill the president.

The federal director presented the two men with two confidentiality agreements to sign, and then showed them a video.

The scene showed Naoki Hanyu landing on the island in powered armor, and zooming in revealed the detailed outlines of the armor, leaving Johns and the head of the research and development center stunned.

They realized something was wrong; this wasn't an ordinary theft, at least not in the government's eyes.

"Gentlemen, I'd like to see the surveillance footage from the past month."

"."

The person in charge finally nodded. The matter had become too big of a fuss, and even a top military company like Raytheon couldn't ignore it. If he refused on the grounds of national defense secrets, it would be like trying to hide something obvious.

Soon after, nearly half of the hundreds of people on the Thor Technologies team responsible for the development of power armor were taken away, including Johns, the core member of the team, who was also sent to assist in the investigation.

The head of the R&D center didn't know how many people would be able to return, or how long it would take, but one thing was certain: it was impossible for the Thor powered armor to be completed within six months.

The following evening, Sarah emerged from the headquarters of Qiangming Pharmaceuticals dressed in a business suit, accompanied by a female assistant and a male bodyguard/driver. It must be said that the situation at Qiangming Pharmaceuticals was truly dire.

Not only will most of his future research projects go bankrupt, but he will also be questioned and investigated by the FBI because of matters involving the islands, and is likely to become one of the targets of attention.

This incident certainly involved more than just the FBI; I've heard that the Department of Homeland Security, the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and others were also involved.

After all, it was the most shocking case since 9/11 that a destroyer was sunk by its own people, 293 sailors were killed, and only 6 were seriously injured and treated.

To say that six marines could survive like that is truly legendary for their resilience.

Just as Sarah was about to get into the car, several masked thugs suddenly got out of a car next to them, pointing weapons at the three of them.

In this situation, the assistant and bodyguard immediately raised their hands and knelt down, leaving only a stunned Sarah to be dragged into the car and driven away.

"."

Sarah stared speechlessly at the four masked thugs; she already had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

Daring to commit a crime under such circumstances is definitely not something my self-proclaimed clever second brother would do, nor is it that man named Clark. The other party has many ways to kill her, there's no need to do it in broad daylight.

So the only possibility is that her older brother, Henry Morgans, who suffers from supermale syndrome, would recklessly send people to do something when he is easily angered and has violent tendencies. In her opinion, he is simply stupid.

Although she understood, how could a woman possibly fight back against several strong, armed men?

"Gentlemen, whatever the client pays you, I can give you three times that amount."

The burly man at the head of the group glared at the woman.

"Don't waste your time. We have professional ethics. If the client hadn't requested to see you die, we would have shot you to death already."

"10 times."

"."

The thugs hesitated, but were stopped by their leader.

"Don't waste your breath. If you want to live, beg your client for mercy."

At that moment, Sarah remembered what a man had said a couple of days earlier: if she were in danger, he would appear like a hero to save her.

At the time, she didn't believe it, and now she wonders what the other party's plans are.

Furthermore, his request to witness her death is exactly what Brother Chao Xiong would do.

The thugs were puzzled to see that the woman wasn't crying or making a scene, but they didn't care. She only had a few minutes left to live, and even if the customer wanted to let her go, he'd have to pay ten times the price to leave.

The car quickly arrived in the suburbs of New York and then drove into an abandoned factory, where Sarah was pushed out of the car.

Inside the factory, dust filled the floor, and in the center stood a huge display screen, leaving Salad feeling tense, fearful, and speechless.

The thugs fiddled with the monitor for a while and turned it on, revealing a video conversation between the two sides.

The leader of the thugs shouted loudly.

"Guest, we have captured the target as you requested."

There was no response from the other side, which puzzled the thugs. They were only shocked when a blood-covered figure collapsed in front of the computer.
