I just got divorced, and a rich and beautiful woman dragged me to get a marriage certificate.

After leaving the village, the two flew all the way out of Shang County.

Liu Xin's face showed a hint of eagerness: "Where do we go next?"

Chen Mo looked southeast: "Japan!"

Liu Xin's eyes lit up, and she perked up: "You want to settle things peacefully and get revenge?"

Chen Mo coldly replied, "They've already set their sights on my parents. If I don't teach them a lesson, they'll think I'm made of clay!"

Liu Xin's eyes lit up, and she rubbed her hands together, almost doing a somersault in excitement: "Fight those Japanese! I love it the most!"

An hour later.

The two arrived in Japan.

From afar, one could see that the entire Guandong Plain was shrouded in a thick layer of gray smog.

It blocked out the sky and the sun, so much so that not even a few rays of sunlight could get in.

In the direction of Mount Fuji, remnants of volcanic ash clouds can still be seen drifting in the air, like a long dragon lying across the horizon.

Most streets in Tokyo were covered in volcanic ash, and pedestrians wearing masks hurried by.

The top of the building was covered with a layer of grayish-white powder, like a dirty snowfall.

Several main roads have been closed, and cleaning vehicles are lined up in long queues, working slowly, with a pungent smell of sulfur filling the air.

Liu Xin looked at the scene at his feet and clicked his tongue twice:

"Tokyo looks like this, like the end of the world!"

Chen Mo withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "This is their own fault, it has nothing to do with me."

Liu Xin paused for a moment, then nodded: "That's right! If they hadn't done those things back then, things wouldn't be like this today!"

The two did not linger over Tokyo and flew directly southeast.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at their destination.

The residence of the chairman of the Mie Foundation is located in a private hot spring resort on the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture.

The villa is nestled on the mountainside, backed by a dense cedar forest and facing a wide bay.

A white wall meanders around the entire mountain.

Scattered throughout are more than a dozen traditional Japanese buildings, with blue tiles and wooden pillars, arranged in a staggered and orderly manner.

Each building exudes an understated luxury.

The courtyard is planted with carefully pruned pine and maple trees.

Stone lanterns lined the stone path, and steam from the hot spring rose gently from behind the bamboo fence.

Chen Mo released his spiritual power, covering the entire manor, and quickly locked onto the chairman of the Sanjiang Consortium:

Ryutaro Yamamoto!

At this moment.

This man in his seventies, who controls a $2 trillion empire, is soaking in an open-air hot spring deep within the resort.

The hot spring water is steaming.

A clean white towel was laid on the stones by the pool.

Several waiters dressed in kimonos knelt on the veranda, waiting.

In the hot spring pool, besides Yamamoto Ryutaro himself, there were more than a dozen young women.

Each of them had a slender figure and a beautiful face.

They might sit on the stone steps by the pool, soak in the water, or pour wine for the elderly from a wine jug.

On the low table by the pool, there were exquisite Japanese dishes and several bottles of fine sake.

Ryutaro Yamamoto leaned against a rock by the pool, his eyes slightly closed, looking completely relaxed.

Chen Mo withdrew his mental energy, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

"That old geezer, he's got some pretty fancy tricks up his sleeve!"

……

Ryutaro Yamamoto squinted and enjoyed the moment for a while, then suddenly asked, "Any news from China...?"

A young woman in a kimono set down her sake bottle by the pond, bowed respectfully, and replied:

"I replied to a message at noon today; we've arrived at the village where Chen Mo's parents live!"

"The target address has been basically confirmed; we're ready to make our move tonight."

Ryutaro Yamamoto nodded slightly: "Tell them to be careful and not let Chen Mo find out."

"clear!"

The woman nodded solemnly.

Ryutaro Yamamoto picked up a cup of sake, squinted, and gazed at the rising steam from the pond, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

They kidnapped Chen Mo's parents and forced Chen Mo to hand over the method to become stronger.

no doubt.

This is a risky move!

If Chen Mo discovers this, it will be a catastrophe!

after all.

At the Sterling Naval Base in Australia, the bodies of the officers burned to ashes by white phosphorus bombs hadn't been cold for long.

That's a total of seventeen high-ranking officials, along with the submarine and the base command system, all wiped out by one person!

"The risk is indeed high!"

Ryutaro Yamamoto muttered something to himself.

But then his eyes turned intense again.

But so what?

If he could obtain the secret to Chen Mo's growth, he could become the second... Chen Mo!

Do not!

They don't have to be exactly the same!

Even if he only had half of Chen Mo's stature, he could still become the most prestigious figure in all of Japan.

It is one of the top in the world!

By then.

The prime minister, the emperor, the Self-Defense Forces—they all have to defer to his whims.

Compared to the huge potential returns, what is this risk?

Ryutaro Yamamoto smiled again and downed the drink in his glass.

Just then.

"Bang!"

A loud bang.

The wooden door to the hot spring room was kicked open from the outside.

The two heavy cypress wood door panels detached from the door frame, flew several meters away, and crashed heavily onto the floor inside.

Ryutaro Yamamoto's smile froze, and he turned to the doorway, shouting:

"Don't you know I'm soaking in a hot spring? Get out!"

No one answered.

Chen Mo and his companion walked in unhurriedly, their footsteps making a soft sound on the wooden floor soaked by the hot spring water.

Chen Mo stood by the hot spring pool, looking down at the old man in the pool:

"Chairman Yamamoto, what a refined taste you have."

Ryutaro Yamamoto looked in the direction of the sound, and upon seeing it... his face instantly turned deathly pale.

That face...

He knows it all too well!

Countless intelligence reports! Countless secret meetings! Countless surveillance videos... He looked at this face repeatedly.

Chen Mo!

It's Chen Mo!

He's here!!!

Ryutaro Yamamoto was stiff all over, his lips were trembling violently, and his whole body was shaking like a leaf.

"You...you..."

His throat felt like it was being tightly choked by something, and he could only manage to squeeze out two words after a long while.

"What do you mean, 'you'?!"

Chen Mo raised his hand and slapped it across the face in mid-air.

Snapped!

An invisible force of energy struck Yamamoto Ryutaro squarely across the face, sending him flying out of the hot spring.

His body flipped twice in the air before crashing heavily into a wooden wall more than ten meters away.

With a muffled thud, a large crater was smashed into the wooden wall, planks shattered, and wood chips flew everywhere.

Ryutaro Yamamoto slid off the wall, collapsed to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Half of his face swelled up like a pig's head instantly, and several teeth mixed with blood fell out of his mouth and landed on the wooden floor.

"what!"

"Yamete!"

A dozen or so women in the hot spring pool screamed at the same time.

Screams rose and fell, piercing the eardrums.

"So noisy!"

Chen Mo frowned slightly and glanced at the group of women.

A mental shock!

boom!

The screams stopped abruptly.

More than a dozen women collapsed at the same time, falling into a coma, and the hot spring room returned to silence.

All that remained were the sounds of rising steam and Yamamoto Ryutaro's heavy, painful breathing.
