Chapter 2196 The Real Pattern
The blade has a small T-shaped pattern, and the back of the blade is as straight as a line. In an instant, Ono pulled out the entire knife and pointed it at the person in front of him.
"I thought this mission would be successful, so I specifically asked my father for a knife forged by Master Yoshida as a reward, but now the knife has become fragments."
"Calm down, Ono-kun!"
The man pointed at by the knife raised his head, and the blade was pointing at his head, only a few centimeters away from his eyes.
But at this moment, he was very calm, and said to Ono that the failure of this operation, even if he died, could not make up for the loss.
"I am in control now, don't worry, I won't kill you, and you don't need to come to seppuku to apologize."
Ono put away the knife, and the three people breathed a sigh of relief, and then Ono said.
"Mr. Yamamoto was once my teacher and taught me swordsmanship. This time, Mr. Yamamoto broke an arm. I can't punish the people around him here. When I have time, I will go to the hospital to visit him in person."
"Thank you, Ono-kun. If Mr. Yamamoto heard this, he would be very relieved."
"Okay, you all go back first and do your own work. Next, the Black Dragon Society will have to face the oppression from Edward. The failure of our action has provoked someone who should not be provoked."
The three of them retreated from the wooden house one by one. Yamamoto is in the hospital now, and there are still many things waiting to be dealt with.
Ono lost face this time. If he did something wrong next, it would only disappoint Ono's father. At that time, this position might not fall into his hands.
The office was quiet. Mia probably understood Xiao Yi's intention this time. She asked Xiao Yi at this moment.
"You mean, with your ability, you can't find this person?"
"If I could find her, I wouldn't look for you here. I can only find out her news in China, and I can confirm that she is not in China now."
"This seems a little abnormal. According to your ability, it shouldn't be a problem to find someone."
Mia said curiously. Xiao Yi is the god of death. He knows a lot of people, and these people are not ordinary people.
Especially Victor, whom Xiao Yi knows. This person controls the underground information network. If you want to know some confidential information, just go to this person.
"I don't know what forces are behind her, and her whereabouts are completely covered up. No matter how many people I find to search for information, I will get nothing in the end."
"There is such a thing. It seems that it takes some means to find news about you, a woman."
Xiao Yi looked for people to help everywhere, and finally thought of looking for Mia. Through Mia, he used Edward's power, maybe he could find some clues.
Mia knew Xiao Yi's character, and he would never ask for help easily. When Xiao Yi learned her identity, he also treated it as if nothing had happened.
And this time, for the sake of her woman, Mia asked her for the first time. There was no room for refusal. She said to Xiao Yi at this moment.
"I will find someone to do this matter and entrust the forces within the Edward family to find the person you want, but..."
"But what?"
"But I also want you to be mentally prepared in advance. Since it is a person that even you can't find, the Edward family may not necessarily get anything if they take action."
Mia said very carefully. There was something unusual in this matter. Xiao Yi nodded at this moment. Even if Mia couldn't find any clues, Xiao Yi wouldn't say anything.
After all, it's good to be able to help. Meng Nana's news was deliberately covered up by someone. The forces behind it must not be that simple.
"I know this. The strength of the Edward family ranks first in the world. There should be some gains."
"Xiao Yi, you are wrong in this sentence. This is just a saying of people outside. The real strength of the Edward family can't even occupy the first place."
Mia's words at this moment were the first time Xiao Yi heard them. Xiao Yi has always felt that the Edward family is very strong. Many bigwigs in the business world want to curry favor with Edward.
The total assets have exceeded one trillion, and there are countless industries under it. In addition, Edward controls many resources related to the lifeline of the country. Some small countries must rely on Edward to survive.
"This is the first time I have heard of this. Is there a stronger force than the Edward family?"
Xiao Yi asked. Mia glanced at Suzaku beside her. Suzaku is a member of the Dawn Organization. Even she knows this information. I think this woman is also very clear in her heart.
Suzaku smiled at Mia, and then Suzaku spoke and said to Xiao Yi.
"Miss Mia is right. This ranking is just what people can see. The real powerful ones will not appear on this ranking and have been living a secluded life."
"Do you know these too?"
"Of course, the third elder told me that in China, the most powerful one is the Xiao family in China."
Xiao Yi's face changed a little at this moment. The two Xiao family members were very sensitive in Xiao Yi's heart. This was originally the place where he was born, but Xiao Yi felt so unfamiliar.
His true identity is the descendant of the Xiao family. He can be said to be a true prince, but this prince has always lived in the countryside - a grassroots prince.
"Go on."
"The Xiao family is the most powerful and influential in China, but the Xiao family rarely appears in front of the world. If the Xiao family takes action, it will definitely cause a big uproar."
Zhuque said, and suddenly thought of it. Xiao Yi also has the surname Xiao. Is there some connection between the two?
"By the way, Xiao Yi, your surname is the same as this Xiao family. Do you have a connection with this Xiao family?"
"Do you... do you think this is possible?"
Xiao Yi's expression was stunned, and he asked back. Zhuque's question was just a joke. After asking Xiao Yi, he felt that it was impossible.
"I'm just joking. If you really have a connection with this Xiao family, you won't appear in such a place."
"Haha, I don't like that kind of life either."
Even if Xiao Yi can return to the Xiao family now, he will choose such a life. It is not a place that belongs to him.
