"Let's talk about the self-criticism meeting later, we've got work to do, brothers and sisters."
"What kind of work?"
"what?"
The two were momentarily confused and didn't understand what "come and work" meant.
Therefore, Cao Han could only start from the beginning to explain his cooperation with Kazama Ruri and his plans for the future.
Kazama Ruri?
King general?
Herzog?
Upon hearing these three names, Fingel became somewhat unsettled. "I understand the plan, but the problem is, junior, how are you going to accurately locate Herzog's hiding place?"
"I have a brilliant plan!" Cao Han deliberately kept everyone in suspense.
He couldn't possibly say that everything was thanks to "Brother Tongzi," who could pinpoint the location of hunting targets anytime, anywhere.
After witnessing Cao Han's mysterious behavior in Japan, the two had become somewhat immune to it.
Fingel, in particular, has witnessed Cao Han's extraordinary abilities on numerous occasions. Cao Han is able to find information that even he might not be able to find with the help of Norma.
The puppet identities of Tachibana Masamune and the King...
Herzog's background, etc...
"What do you need us to do?" Fingel already felt like a lackey.
"To find Herzog's exact location, we need to corner him and leave him with no way out." Cao Han continued to explain his plan. "Once I appear, Herzog will definitely become wary and hide even deeper, so I can only appear at the crucial moment to deliver a fatal blow!"
Before that, the task of pursuing the king will be entrusted to you and your senior.
Cao Han wanted to constantly pressure Herzog, that cunning old fox, by not giving him enough time to make thorough preparations, but instead forcing him to absorb the bloodline power contained in the remains of the gods in a desperate situation.
It doesn't matter whether Herzog takes over as the new White King after absorbing the power of the bloodline, or whether the White King usurps the throne and revives.
As long as he remains the White King, and as long as he is still worth ten million evolution points, that's enough!
"This is Kazama Ruri's contact information. He'll keep you informed." Cao Han first handed Kazama Ruri's contact information to Fingel, then, still not entirely at ease, added, "Remember, safety first!"
All you need to do is keep pursuing them and make the king feel the urgency; leave the rest to me!
“But junior, your injuries…” Lucy Pallas asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, this injury won't affect anything. Herzog's strength is nothing compared to this; one strike is all it takes." Cao Han was still sensible enough to know that his senior was genuinely concerned about him.
Chapter 109 Bush, Gomen
If you were to ask who the top three people in the world who wanted Cao Han dead were...
Herzog is undoubtedly No. 1!
The Gattuso family and the little devil Lu Mingze are equally matched and are listed in no particular order.
Cao Han's existence is a huge obstacle to the plans and long-term strategies of both sides. What's most infuriating is that neither side can do anything about him for the time being.
As those in power, they are always used to having everything under control, and what they hate most is the emergence of variables that they cannot control.
The biggest variable right now seems to be Cao Han!
Whether it's the little devil Lu Mingze or the current head of the Gattuso family, Pompeii Gattuso, they both have their own plans and demands regarding the Japanese branch of the Snake Clan.
However, many plans and strategies are based on a "year" timeframe.
Especially the little devil Lu Mingze, in his original script, the White King's resurrection would be at least three to four years later, at which time the chosen one of destiny, Lu Mingfei, would take action to end it all.
Pompeii Gattuso was also plotting to seize the power of the White King's bloodline, but he was doing so primarily for his son, Caesar Gattuso.
Some are happy and some are sad.
After explaining to Fingel and Lucy Pallas what they needed to be careful about, Cao Han followed them out of the Regent Hotel.
Unlike Fingel and Lucy Pallas, who headed towards the location of Osaka Gokurakukan, Cao Han continued driving the Lexus he had taken back from Mai Shude towards an unknown direction.
As you move forward, you might suddenly change direction.
To passersby, his behavior seemed more like he was aimlessly driving around, admiring the scenery along the way.
Only Cao Han knew better than anyone that he was adjusting his direction of travel from time to time according to the hunting target locations given by "Brother Tongzi".
"Tomorrow is the last day. Hopefully, Herzog will be sensible."
Cao Han's plan was to kill two birds with one stone: to harvest another wave of White King's evolution points and to complete the hunting mission to directly obtain free attribute points.
To this end, he also arranged for Fingel and Lucy Pallas to press Herzog's puppet king clones one after another, giving Herzog a sense of pressure that his position could be exposed at any time and that he didn't have much time left.
Only in extremely dire circumstances would Herzog be forced to take the risk of receiving the bloodline power contained within the remains of a god.
Even if the other party doesn't cooperate, Cao Han also has backup plans such as "Plan B" and "Plan C".
In short, Herzog's fate as the target of the hunting mission, regardless of whether he replaces her as the White King, is already a foregone conclusion for Cao Han.
As Cao Han relentlessly closed in on Herzog's hiding place in the research lab.
Fingel and Lucy Pallas, who had arrived in Osaka a step ahead of others, also met with Sakurai Kogure.
The reason why the person who came was not Kazama Ruri was mainly because he was worried that he might end up losing more than he gained. If he were to be suddenly controlled by the king's clapper sound, it would be a fatal blow to both Fingel and Lucy Pallas.
"Ryoma, the third member of the Demon Clan." Sakurai Kogure wore a mask to conceal her true appearance, and her cold voice gave off a feeling of keeping people at a distance.
Only in front of Kazama Ruri is she the obedient Sakurai Kogure; in front of outsiders, she is Ryoma, the third-in-command who controls the finances of the Oni Clan.
"The number three member of the Ghost Gang is actually a woman, and a beautiful one at that!"
As a paparazzi king who has seen countless women, even though his real face is hidden behind a mask, Fingel can tell from his exquisite figure that Sakurai Kogure is definitely a rare beauty.
I just didn't expect how the other party would join the Fierce Ghost Clan, or how they would become the number three.
Sakurai Kogure handed Fingal a tablet-like device she was carrying, explaining, "This will display the King's exact location in real time; you can just follow and track him."
Given the king's cautious and suspicious nature, he would naturally check the box containing the remains of the gods beforehand. Kazama Ruri is not stupid, so she would not have placed the tracker inside the box.
Fortunately, the remains of the deity constantly emit an invisible fluctuation, which also serves to conceal their aura. Therefore, the signal emitted by the micro locator implanted within it is hidden within the fluctuation emitted by the remains and cannot be detected at all.
"Thank you, beautiful lady~"
Fingel dared not delay lest it affect Cao Han's next plan. After taking the tracker, he looked at a small dot that kept flashing and moving on the screen.
It is clear that the king is currently in a state of high-speed movement.
"It seems that Old Biteng is eager to hand over the remains of the god to the original body after obtaining them. When the position of this light spot stops, it will mean that the location of the original body has been found."
"No matter how cunning he is, he can't hide from his junior's wisdom." Lucy Pallas gave Cao Han a small compliment.
Judging from his performance after arriving in Japan, Cao Han can be described as both a scholar and a warrior!
"Without further ado, let's set off immediately."
"Be careful."
Before parting, Sakurai Kogure still gave her a reminder.
Having successfully obtained the "key item," Fingel and Lucy Pallas's duo once again embarked on their journey to track down the King.
When they arrived near Gokurakukan from Tokyo, they had traveled through almost half of Osaka. This time, they turned around and traveled through most of Osaka again, essentially going in the opposite direction from Gokurakukan.
The scenery outside the car window gradually changed from the city's skyscrapers to a desolate wilderness.
25km
21km
......
6km
"Less than three kilometers from the King, be careful!" Lucy Pallas, in the passenger seat, kept a close eye on the numbers displayed on the tablet tracker the whole way.
This number represents their current distance from the target king.
When the distance reached "3km", the mixed-race individuals, whose eyesight far surpassed that of ordinary people, were able to clearly see the "small black dot" in the far distance.
If nothing unexpected happens... that little black dot should be their target for this trip—General Wang.
“I don’t quite understand. Shouldn’t we be tracking them all the way back to their ‘lair’? Why alert them and let them know we’re tracking them?” Lucy Pallas asked softly, a question that seemed to be piercing her soul.
She kept thinking about this question all the way, but couldn't come up with an answer.
"Think about it, how did we manage to track their location all the way?"
"Remains of a deity".
"Then what is Herzog's ultimate goal?" Fingel asked again.
“Obtain the remains of a god and steal its power,” Lucy Pallas offered her answer.
"The other side knows we are tracking them but will not give up because they will definitely not be willing to give up the divine remains they have obtained."
"..."
While the two were talking in the car, Wang Jiang, who was driving, had already spotted them through the rearview mirror.
And after he deliberately changed directions several times without shaking him off, the vigilant general became absolutely certain of one thing: "They're coming for me!"
The Snake-Headed Eight Family?
Probably not!
The two people in the car were both young-looking; they appeared to be from Kassel College!
According to previously obtained intelligence, there were exactly three executive officers from Kassel College who came to the Japanese branch this time.
With Cao Han out of the running due to his injury, it's safe to assume that the two remaining executives are behind him.
In Wang Jiang's view, the appearance of these two people must be because Cao Han discovered the loss of the divine remains and sent them to track him down and seize them back.
"trouble!"
Because he didn't want a third person to discover Herzog's existence and hiding place, the king was acting alone this time, with no available forces by his side.
Considering that it was a two-on-one situation, he was also worried that the other side might use a feint, with one person holding him back while the other took the opportunity to snatch back the god's remains.
In Lao Yinbi's eyes, everyone looks like Lao Yinbi.
