"Why?" Chen Fan asked after hearing Kurokawa Yasuzo's words.
"Based on my understanding of President Mitsui, it's likely that all high-ranking officials within the corporation are already aware of the situation here and are planning how to resolve it."
Ultimately, his own life was more important. As the guardian of the Mitsui Corporation's Eastern Cherry City branch, Kurokawa Yasuzo, facing Chen Fan's killing intent-filled inquiry, did not hesitate to reveal the truth.
"How do you usually resolve such problems?" Chen Fan asked again after hearing Kurokawa Yasuzo's answer.
"I cannot answer this question, because the Mitsui Corporation has never encountered an opponent like you before."
Kurokawa Yasuzo spread his arms helplessly and said, "You are too powerful. Based on my guess, if nothing unexpected happens, President Mitsui will do everything in his power, no matter the cost, to kill you."
"After all, someone as powerful as you, as an enemy of the Mitsui Corporation, is like a Sword of Damocles hanging over President Mitsui's head at all times."
After hearing Kurokawa Yasuzo's words, Chen Fan frowned and asked, "Then why don't you try to guess further, if I were to escalate things even more, would your president abandon the search for the escaped experimental subjects and divert all his resources to deal with me?"
As soon as Chen Fan uttered these words, Kurokawa Yasuzo's expression changed drastically.
"You... what are you talking about? Escaped experimental subjects? Who exactly are you... why do you know about this!"
What Chen Fan had just said caused Kurokawa Yasuzo to blurt out a string of questions in an instant.
"You are not in a position to ask, understand?"
Chen Fan's figure instantly turned into an afterimage, appearing before Kurokawa Yasuzo. He reached out, grabbed his neck, and said coldly.
"Under... I understand... cough cough..."
Kurokawa Yasuzo coughed violently.
"Very well, since you understand, then answer." Chen Fan said again.
"I think... cough cough! If you stir up enough trouble, President Mitsui might truly do as you suspect, and mobilize all his resources to deal with you!" Kurokawa Yasuzo said fearfully, coughing.
"Then, how big does it need to be?" Chen Fan chuckled and asked.
"This... it's hard to say." Kurokawa Yasuzo genuinely had difficulty answering Chen Fan's question.
"It's easy to say, but you won't have the chance to see how big I'll make it." Chen Fan waved his hand at him.
Upon hearing Chen Fan's words, Kurokawa Yasuzo's expression became one of shock, realizing something.
Immediately after, he questioned Chen Fan angrily, "Why are you treating me like this! I've already told you everything!"
"Precisely because of that." Chen Fan circulated his internal vital energy, guarding against Kurokawa Yasuzo's desperate final strike.
He said, "If I let you live, then you will definitely tell people what happened here. Wouldn't that make all my efforts in vain?"
"No, it's not what you think. I will absolutely not reveal what happened here, please rest assured, I absolutely will not..." To save his life, Kurokawa Yasuzo hurriedly spoke, making promises to Chen Fan.
However, before he could finish his words.
Chen Fan had already unleashed his internal vital energy, controlling the samurai sword in Kurokawa Yasuzo's hand.
With a single strike, he ended his life.
As Kurokawa Yasuzo's head fell, Chen Fan could no longer maintain his composure. He sat down to the side, panting slightly, his face etched with pain.
"This demon core is more troublesome than I imagined."
Gritting his teeth, Chen Fan circulated the spiritual energy within his body, forcefully suppressing the troublesome demon core's power once more.
Then, he stood up, walked into the blood-soaked elevator, and went to the top floor.
Ding!
Soon, the elevator doors on the top floor opened.
Kobayashi Takuma, who had been waiting for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Chen Fan emerge from the elevator.
However, when he clearly saw the large patches of blood in the elevator and the more than ten dismembered corpses, his face immediately turned deathly pale from fright!
"Wh... what happened? Looking at the clothes and appearance of these people, they are not from the Mitsui Corporation either."
His gaze fixed on Chen Fan, who was getting closer, Kobayashi Takuma hurriedly asked, "Sir, did something unexpected happen?"
Facing Kobayashi Takuma's inquiry, Chen Fan naturally would not tell him the truth.
After all, this guy had been quite cunning before.
If he told him the actual situation, it could easily lead to new unforeseen problems.
"There are no unexpected circumstances. Don't ask what you shouldn't be asking. Come, I'll rescue you, and then send your family to this location." As he spoke, Chen Fan moved the large iron door that was pressing down on Kobayashi Takuma's legs.
And he typed an address into Kobayashi Takuma's mobile phone, handing it back to him.
"This..."
This sudden regaining of freedom made Kobayashi Takuma feel a sense of unreality.
"You mean I can leave here now?" Fearing a trap, Kobayashi Takuma looked up at Chen Fan with suspicion.
"You know the answer already."
Chen Fan saw through his attempt to probe him with words and replied, "Not only can you leave here, but because your legs are injured, I will personally escort you down and find you a car, so you can pick up your family and leave Sakura Country together."
Upon hearing Chen Fan's words, Kobayashi Takuma's expression became one of surprise.
"Wait a minute! Didn't we agree that you would only escort my family away? Why do I have to leave too?" Kobayashi Takuma asked.
"Then let me tell you something you don't know."
Seeing Kobayashi Takuma's appearance, Chen Fan said, "Every branch of the Mitsui Corporation has a special individual, and only your President Mitsui knows about this person's existence."
"This person is the Corporation Guardian."
As Chen Fan's words fell, Kobayashi Takuma's face instantly turned ashen!
"Hmm? Judging by your expression, it seems you know about the existence of the Corporation Guardian?" Chen Fan asked upon seeing Kobayashi Takuma's abnormal reaction.
Facing Chen Fan's inquiry, Kobayashi Takuma nodded weakly and said.
"This Corporation Guardian is an extremely terrifying existence. In fact, everyone in the corporation knows, they just dare not speak of it, because getting involved with the Corporation Guardian will absolutely lead to a terrible death."
"Thank you very much for telling me this. From this moment on, I will unconditionally follow all your arrangements!" Kobayashi Takuma said to Chen Fan.
