Chapter 1330
A Horrible Scene
Luo Fei's voice was calm, but it instantly made Sato feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his whole body turning ice cold.
“I don’t want to end up like that guy on the ground,” Luo Fei said, gesturing with his chin to the mangled remains of Tojo Hideharu.
"Just come with me obediently. I have some questions that I need you to answer."
Sato's heart nearly stopped beating; boundless fear and despair overwhelmed him.
He was filled with regret, regretting not heeding Suzuki Hiroshi's advice to escape sooner! If he had run away then, perhaps there would have been a sliver of hope! But now... Tojo Hideharu's recklessness and arrogance had completely dragged him down with him!
He's like a fish on a chopping board!
Looking into Luo Fei's eyes, which were as cold as an abyss, he realized that he had no room for resistance.
As a member of the "Kamikaze Group," he clung to the last shred of his pitiful dignity, struggling to keep himself from collapsing to the ground, and reluctantly agreed in a trembling but calm voice.
"Hi...I...I'll go with you."
Hiroshi Suzuki remained slumped on the ground, his eyes glazed over, clearly terrified.
The self-defense team members, on the other hand, were frozen in place as if under a spell, watching Luo Fei helplessly. Not one of them dared to step forward to stop him, and they didn't even have the courage to raise their guns.
Luo Fei, holding the ashen-faced and utterly demoralized Sato hostage, swaggered toward the school gate under the protection of a group of Ghost Team members.
After the bloody shock of that demonic descent, not a single member of the self-defense force dared to step forward to stop them, or even meet Luo Fei's eyes.
Just as they were about to leave the school gate, Luo Fei keenly noticed that many heads were sticking out of the windows of a building across the street. They all looked like teenagers, looking over in this direction with fear and curiosity.
"Hmph, they started training him quite early."
Luo Fei sneered inwardly; these were clearly spies that Japan had been cultivating from childhood in this area.
His gaze then swept over the school's flagpole, and his brows furrowed instantly!
On that tall flagpole, a dazzling Japanese flag was flying!
On this land of Great Xia, in this place where a bloody conflict had just taken place, this flag stood out conspicuously and provocatively!
Luo Fei's eyes turned cold, and without any warning, he stomped his feet on the ground!
"boom!"
The ground trembled slightly, and his body shot into the sky like a cannonball, easily leaping more than ten meters high and hovering precisely in front of the national flag!
Under the horrified gazes of all the ghost team members and the "students" in the building across the street, Luo Fei stretched out his right hand and grabbed the national flag that was fluttering in the wind!
"Thorn--!"
Without the slightest hesitation, he exerted force with his arm, and his fingers, containing terrifying power, tore the finely crafted national flag in half as easily as tearing thin paper, then ripped it into pieces in a few quick movements!
With a casual toss of the torn cloth aside, Luo Fei plummeted downwards like a meteorite, landing silently and lightly in front of the limp Suzuki Hiroshi.
Looking down at the terrified "Minister of Culture," Luo Fei's voice was icy cold, carrying an undeniable warning.
"Remember, this is the Great Xia! From this day forward, I don't want to see this thing appear on this land again! Otherwise, I won't hesitate to wipe your school completely off the map!"
After saying that, he ignored the trembling Suzuki Hiroshi, turned around, and led Sato and the Ghost Team straight out of the school, got into the waiting car, and sped away.
Luo Fei had no intention of taking Sato back to the National Security Bureau headquarters, as it was a place with many people and could not be safe.
He decided to take Sato directly to that secluded secret training base in the western suburbs of Kyoto for interrogation.
There, he had enough time and space to thoroughly "learn" about the situation of superhumans in the Sakura Country.
By this time, Sato had already lost all his edge and was like a walking corpse, completely at the mercy of others.
After the plane arrived at Kyoto Airport, Luo Fei immediately contacted the Divine Bow Bureau and dispatched a military helicopter to pick it up.
The helicopter took them directly to the No. 7 Special Training Center deep in the mountains.
When the helicopter landed on the base's small helipad, the "second-generation super kids" who had been waiting there for a long time heard the commotion and ran out of the main building to see what was going on.
They originally thought that the person who could become the captain and "flew away" in such a cool way must be a middle-aged man with a strong aura, or even an old man.
However, when the hatch opened and Luo Fei's young, cold yet somewhat flamboyant and handsome face appeared before everyone, everyone was stunned.
"Wow!
He...he's so young!
A girl couldn't help but gasp softly.
"No way?"
So young? He's our captain?
"Who said the captain was an old man?"
This rumor is absolutely outrageous!
"He looks... kind of handsome..."
Another girl muttered something under her breath, her eyes shining.
Xu Yahan, the younger of the twin sisters, nudged her older sister Xu Yaqing with her elbow, lowered her voice, and said with a mischievous smile.
"Sis, look!"
Isn't this exactly the kind of prince charming you've been talking about all the time—strong, handsome, and a bit aloof? Your dream has come true!
Xu Yaqing's cheeks instantly flushed red. She glared at her sister, embarrassed and annoyed, and retorted in a low voice.
"What...what nonsense are you talking about! When did I ever say that? Don't spout nonsense!"
Xu Yahan, however, persisted, continuing to tease her with a smile.
"Oh, are you shy? How about I go over and introduce yourself for you, and ask the captain if he needs a girlfriend?"
"Xu Yahan! If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll tell Mom and Dad that you secretly bought a limited edition bag last month and even borrowed money from me!"
Xu Yaqing was both embarrassed and anxious, so she used her "secret weapon".
Upon hearing this, Xu Yahan immediately felt as if she had been choked, quickly making a zipping motion with her mouth and awkwardly shutting her mouth.
These two sisters have very different personalities: the older sister, Xu Yaqing, is introverted and reserved, while the younger sister, Xu Yahan, is lively, outgoing, and even a bit noisy.
Everyone's attention quickly shifted from the excessively young Luo Fei to the person behind him being held by the Ghost Team members and wearing a black hood.
"Who is that person? Why is he wearing a hood?"
"Was he captured and brought back? He doesn't look like one of ours."
"Could it be... another ability user from the Heavenly Mystery Group? Was they captured and used as sparring partners?"
The children whispered among themselves, filled with curiosity about Sato's identity.
Luo Fei stepped off the helicopter, his gaze sweeping over the group of prospective members of the future Sky Machine Team for the first time.
These young faces held curiosity, scrutiny, surprise, and even a hint of resentment.
His gaze lingered for half a second on the twin sisters who looked alike, one shy and the other cunning, just in time to catch Xu Yahan making a funny face at her sister.
Xu Yahan noticed that Luo Fei's gaze seemed to sweep over them, so she immediately nudged her sister with her elbow, lowering her voice but enough for those nearby to hear.
"elder sister!
He's looking at you! Your future husband is looking at you!
Xu Yaqing wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground, tightly gripping her sister's clothes and warning her with her eyes to stop talking nonsense.
At this moment, a kind-looking elderly man dressed in a simple Zhongshan suit, with gray hair and reading glasses, quickly came forward. He was the head of management at the training center, and everyone called him Director Wang.
"Director Luo, you're back!" Director Wang said with a heartfelt smile.
"These children... they look so familiar. You can see the shadows of their parents in their eyes and brows. Sigh, more than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye. It's really... hard to see those people from the previous generation anymore."
Luo Fei nodded and asked directly.
"Director Wang, have the room and daily necessities been arranged?"
"Everything is arranged! As you instructed, basic necessities have been prepared in everyone's room. Shall I take you to see them now?"
Director Wang answered respectfully.
Luo Fei waved his hand and pointed to Sato, who was being held captive.
"Don't rush. Find two reliable people to take him to where he needs to be and lock him up."
This person was a superhuman, though now disabled, but still needs to be carefully monitored.
Director Wang glanced at Sato, who was wearing a hood, and nodded knowingly.
"Don't worry, Director Luo, we have a special solitary confinement cell here. The walls are reinforced with 40-centimeter-thick special steel plates, so it's absolutely safe and reliable."
He then beckoned over two burly, serious-looking staff members and whispered a few instructions to them.
The two men immediately stepped forward, took Sato from the Ghost team member, and led him toward an inconspicuous annex building next to the main building, which led to the entrance to the basement.
Just then, Jiang Qinqin also came out of the main building, saw Luo Fei, and walked towards him.
Luo Fei also saw her and called out to her from afar.
"Diligent".
Xu Yaqing watched as Jiang Qinqin walked towards Luo Fei. The two seemed very familiar and natural with each other, and she couldn't help but whisper her guesses.
"That girl... seems to know the captain quite well?"
Xu Yahan immediately perked up and was eager to try.
"Sis, do you want me to go over and find out what their relationship is?"
Xu Yaqing was genuinely getting anxious this time, and warned in a low voice.
"Xu Yahan! If you dare to cause any more trouble, I will make you pay back the money right now! Not a penny less!"
Faced with the threat of "economic sanctions," Xu Yahan finally wilted completely, pouted, and stood obediently beside her sister, no longer daring to cause any more trouble.
Luo Fei exchanged a few words with Jiang Qinqin to learn about her settlement situation, and then, without further delay, went to check on his accommodations under the guidance of Director Wang.
He was given a three-bedroom suite on the top floor of the main building. It was spacious, had excellent views, and a huge balcony overlooking the entire training base and some mountain scenery.
The room is fully furnished with beds, furniture, and bathroom fixtures, making it a move-in ready place.
The members of the Ghost Team were also assigned single rooms, just a few rooms next to his apartment, so they could be readily deployed.
Tianji and Blood Rose were arranged in another room next to his.
Luo Fei had no objection to this and nodded.
He asked it casually.
Where is Jiang Qinqin assigned?
"That's what Director Wang replied."
"Miss Jiang, like the other children, was arranged to stay in the student dormitory building, sharing a triple room with the twin sisters from the Xu family."
Upon hearing this, Luo Fei's brow twitched almost imperceptibly. Was he really going to send the heiress of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, who was also nominally the "senior sister," to share a three-person room with ordinary students?
This arrangement is quite interesting. However, upon further reflection, he realized that it might also be a way to temper her character and help her integrate into the group more quickly, so he didn't say anything more.
Where is the interrogation room?
Luo Fei was more concerned about this.
"It's in the basement. I'll take you there."
Director Wang quickly replied.
Luo Fei waved his hand.
"No need, just tell me the location, I'll go there myself. Also, could you please contact Chen Fan and his team from my special case unit, and have them bring the necessary equipment and a small team to the training center as soon as possible? I need their assistance with some follow-up investigations and communication."
"Okay, Director Luo, I'll arrange it right away!"
Director Wang agreed.
Luo Fei went downstairs alone and came to the area located in the basement of the main building.
The atmosphere here was noticeably more solemn and oppressive than upstairs. At the end of the corridor stood a large, round metal door that looked extremely heavy, with unusually thick hinges and locks, resembling the door to a bank's underground vault.
The door was wide open, revealing a spacious interior. Sato had been moved here, still wearing a black hood, and was being escorted by two stern-faced SWAT officers, one on each side, as he sat in a specially made steel chair fixed to the ground in the center of the room.
His hands were handcuffed to the armrests of the chair, and his arms were locked with metal rings. He was completely immobilized and unable to move.
Luo Fei walked into the interrogation room and gave a nod to the two special police officers.
"Remove all the shackles from his body."
Although the two special police officers were somewhat puzzled, they did as instructed and unlocked the metal rings and handcuffs binding Sato.
"You can go out first and wait at the door."
Luo Fei gave the order.
"Yes!"
After saluting, the two special police officers quickly withdrew from the interrogation room and closed the heavy round door from the outside, but did not lock it completely.
Only Luo Fei and Sato remained in the interrogation room.
Luo Fei stepped forward and reached out to remove the black hood from Sato's head.
The sudden light made Sato squint. After a few seconds of adjustment, he could finally see Luo Fei standing in front of him, looking down at him.
A look of obvious surprise crossed his face, and he blurted it out.
"You...you can speak the language of our Great Xia?"
He spoke Mandarin with a slight accent, but it was still quite fluent!
Luo Fei was slightly surprised, but then he understood and sneered.
"It seems you've really done your homework for infiltration. You've even learned Chinese?"
Sato seemed to have regained some composure, or perhaps he was trying to mask his inner fear with conversation, as he replied.
"My parents had a lot of contact with Daxia in their early years due to business dealings, so they had me learn Chinese from a young age." (End of Chapter)
