"Mr. Abe Hachishin," Langge said, his pupils contracting sharply, "what do you mean by this?"
"Let's not beat around the bush. I saw through you a long time ago. You're not Mario Coit!"
"I'm very curious, who exactly are you!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know that your actions are a serious offense to me!"
Langge was furious at this moment because this damned Japanese man had seen through his secret!
So Langge secretly activated his special ability, launching a mental attack on Abe Hachishin. He wanted to control Abe Hachishin and make him his loyal servant.
Just like Prometheus, if he could control him, his subordinates would have no choice but to obey.
However, when facing Abe Hachishin, the mental attack released by Langge seemed to vanish into thin air, receiving no response.
This outcome stunned Langge, and he had no idea what had happened.
"Heh, sir, don't try to do anything futile. Mental attacks don't have much effect on me!"
Abe Hachishin was not boasting. For an Onmyoji, a crucial part of their cultivation process was controlling their own soul and mental energy.
Without a strong soul and mental energy, they couldn't control Shikigami, and might even be反噬d by them.
Although Langge's mental attack ability was powerful, it was still far inferior to Abe Hachishin's.
With the situation as it was, Langge's heart trembled. He had already developed a killing intent. Thus, Langge prepared to activate his special ability and directly command the two bodyguards with his mental power, ordering them to be ready to strike and eliminate this annoying fellow at any moment.
However, just then, Abe Hachishin suddenly raised his hand, and two blue talismans appeared in his palm.
The next moment, a cloud of smoke enveloped the entire room. When the smoke cleared, Langge's pupils contracted again because he saw two figures appear in the reception room.
Two of them were terracotta warriors clad in armor. The long sabers in their hands were already at the necks of his two bodyguards!
Langge also keenly sensed that he was being locked onto by someone, but this person was in a state of invisibility. Even when Langge released his mental energy, he couldn't find this individual who was coveting his life.
"You, who exactly are you, what is your purpose?" Langge questioned.
"Please, don't play dumb. I know you are not Mr. Mario Coit!"
"So what if I am, so what if I'm not!" Langge was somewhat enraged.
"Heh, it doesn't matter. Whether you are Mario Coit or not, it makes no difference to me.
And please, relax. We are not here to cause trouble for you. On the contrary, we have a business deal to discuss!"
"What kind of business do you want to discuss, what do you want?"
"Nothing much, I just want to leave this island!"
"Heh, you have a beautiful dream, but it's difficult! You are all my servants now!"
"And your lives, your futures, are in my hands!"
"Sir, I admit, you have some advantage, but the problem is, you are not the real Mr. Mario Coit!
And even if you have some tricks, you can't control everyone on the island!
There are hundreds of us Japanese people on this island, all of whom are very powerful experts. If I give the order, they will all obey me!
Think about it, even if you can suppress us by force, we will fight back madly before we die!"
Abe Hachishin spoke these words with a casual demeanor, showing no regard for life or death. His composure and calmness cast a great shadow on Langge's psyche.
Langge dared not act rashly because he had exhausted almost all his means trying to find the person who had locked onto him with mental energy, but all his efforts were in vain.
Langge believed that if his answer did not satisfy Abe Hachishin, a fatal attack might fall upon him the next moment!
"It's not impossible to let you leave, but you should understand that I, Mario Coit, am a businessman!
In short, I will not do business at a loss. If you want to leave this island, you must pay a corresponding price!
Now I want to know, what can you offer!"
Abe Hachishin, sitting on the sofa, smiled and said, "Alright, I'll treat you as Mr. Mario Coit. As far as I know, you are currently looking for a woman, and that woman is your daughter, Aurora!"
"That's right, there is indeed such a matter! My daughter is a bit disobedient and has been misled by some bad people!
Therefore, I want to bring her back and educate her properly.
Of course, if she remains stubborn and resists, I can accept killing her!"
"Very good, Mr. Mario Coit. I think this matter can serve as a bargaining chip between us!
We Japanese can help you find and capture this woman!
If we capture this woman, I hope you can arrange a ship for us to leave!
Of course, we can also engage in deeper cooperation. If you need our services, as long as you offer sufficient chips, we are willing to serve you!"
Langge was very displeased. His plan had clearly gone awry, as someone was unaffected by his special ability.
It seemed that enslaving these Japanese people was impossible now. However, as Abe Hachishin said, if they cooperated on a contractual basis, it might not be a bad idea.
"Agreed, but just capturing Aurora alone is not enough!
I hope you can help me find another American woman named Bice.
And, most importantly, several Chinese people have disappeared on the island!
They have no ship and cannot possibly leave the island. I suspect they are still on the island, just hiding somewhere. I need your help to find these Chinese people and kill them all, preferably!"
"Deal, sir! I'll go back and make arrangements now. We will reach a transaction soon!"
Abe Hachishin, with a smile all over his face, stood up and left the reception room directly.
After he exited, a purple smoke suddenly emerged from the two terracotta warriors, and then the two warriors disappeared. Mario Coit's two bodyguards were now slumped on the ground, as if they had just walked through the gates of hell!
