Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 561 - 375: Arranging Uncle’s Passing Ceremony

Chapter 561: Chapter 375: Arranging Uncle’s Passing Ceremony

In the early hours, two vans with dark tinted windows slowly pulled over on the road near Sensoji Temple.

As the doors opened, two figures swiftly exited the vehicles. They wore black hoodies, obscuring their faces. These were the top-tier professional killers Hatoyama Yuchi had hired at great expense.

The reason for hiring professional killers instead of using his own men was naturally for the sake of caution.

By hiring outside assassins to handle his uncle’s departure, even if they failed, it wouldn’t easily trace back to him.

Furthermore, the few skilled ninjas under him had already been beaten into the ICU by Xiao Wu.

Even without such an incident, those ninjas wouldn’t obey such an order, as their duty was to protect the Hatoyama Clan, not to kill the old Family Head...

The two assassins scanned their surroundings, confirming that the street was empty, and then quickly crossed the road towards the centuries-old estate opposite them.

They waited under the white wall for a moment until they heard the "surveillance off" signal through their earpieces. Only then did they don their night vision goggles and leap over the wall into the courtyard.

The withered branches of the cherry blossom tree swayed gently in the wind, casting shadows that conveniently concealed their forms. They did not act immediately but stood observing for a moment, seemingly searching for something.

After about a minute, they began to move their steps towards the building at the back, treading lightly to avoid the leaves and branches on the ground...

Inside a room in the rear courtyard, a shadow sat cross-legged, eyes tightly shut, appearing to be asleep.

This person was none other than another master from the Hattori family—Hattori Eiken. He was Hattori Kazuya’s uncle and was slightly superior in skill compared to Hattori Kazuya.

Suddenly, Hattori Eiken’s closed eyes snapped open!

His pitch-black pupils showed no sign of sleepiness. He twitched his ears and swiftly rose to the door, then vanished into the darkness.

In the courtyard, the two professional killers crept along the wall base to the archway, about to enter the rear courtyard.

In the next moment, a red heat source in their night vision goggles jumped down from the eaves of the front room, stealthily approaching them!

The figure moved like a phantom, not making a sound; had they not been wearing night vision goggles, they wouldn’t have noticed at all.

The two assassins exchanged glances, pretending to be oblivious, continuing through the archway. Despite this, their hands, concealed within their sleeves, clutched their pistols tightly.

When only five or six meters remained between them, the two assassins suddenly struck!

With silencers attached to their pistols, they fired several shots at the approaching figure!

"Pew pew..."

The sudden turn of events caught Hattori Eiken, hidden in the darkness, off guard. He hadn’t expected to be discovered in advance.

Despite making evasive maneuvers the instant shots were fired, he was still hit in the thigh. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Blood quickly soaked through his black attire, the crimson liquid dripping down his pant leg.

Hattori Eiken grunted, using the momentum of his sidestep to roll behind a nearby cherry blossom tree, evading the subsequent bullets.

Seeing their ambush succeed, the two assassins immediately pursued Hattori Eiken’s position. They holstered their guns and each drew a dagger.

The client’s request was to make the old man die of a sudden illness, so they aimed to leave as few traces as possible to avoid trouble during cleanup later.

Hattori Eiken, with his thigh wounded, was greatly hindered in his movement, unable to perform the ninja’s elusive techniques, and was soon caught up by the two assassins, leading to a direct confrontation.

The assassin on the left lunged with his dagger at Hattori Eiken’s chest, the blade slicing through the air, while the one on the right targeted Hattori Eiken’s legs.

The two worked in perfect harmony, forcing Hattori Eiken to keep retreating. Within a few exchanges, new wounds appeared on his body.

Realizing he was doomed if this continued, Hattori Eiken resolved not to dodge again. He abruptly lowered his stance, letting the right assassin’s dagger slash across his lower back, gritting his teeth without flinching.

Seizing the opportunity of his opponent’s recoil, he swung his long sword down towards the back of his opponent’s neck.

His eyes were bloodshot, intent on exchanging his life for theirs!

The assassin on the right had just withdrawn his dagger, unable to block in time, watching helplessly as the blade closed in.

At that moment, a "clang!" sound echoed. The other assassin had abandoned his attack to block the blade with his dagger in front of his comrade.

The blades collided fiercely, sparking.

A flicker of despair crossed Hattori Eiken’s eyes, knowing his chance was gone...

Minutes later, having dealt with Hattori Eiken, the assassins silently approached the main house, stopping beneath the window. Inside, soft snores could be heard; Hatoyama Norio lay asleep on the tatami in the inner room.

The door was unlocked. The two men gently pushed it open and stepped inside.

In the moonlight streaming through the window, one assassin could be seen holding a syringe, inside which contained a neurotoxin deadly within seconds, mimicking a heart attack.

As the assassin crept closer, Hatoyama Norio’s snoring abruptly halted. As though sensing his impending death, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Upon seeing the scene before him, he didn’t panic, but rather slowly sat up, leaning his back against the wall.

The two assassins paused, evidently surprised at the old man’s composure.

Hatoyama Norio’s murky eyes swept over them and calmly said, "Go on."

His voice was serene, as if he had already accepted death.

The assassin holding the syringe hesitated no longer, stepping forward, plunging the syringe into the old man’s carotid artery. With a "shh" sound, the transparent liquid rapidly entered his veins.

Hatoyama Norio seemed to want to smile but could only grunt as his chest heaved a few times, then suddenly stopped.

A few seconds later, his head lolled to one side, his complexion turning purplish-black visibly, drool escaping his mouth, exactly like a sudden heart attack victim.

Having dealt with Hatoyama Norio, the two assassins wasted no time in cleaning the courtyard of blood traces, retrieving the casings from the earlier gunfire, and then they disappeared into the night with Hattori Eiken’s body bag...

In the hospital ward, Hatoyama Yuchi received immediate updates from his trusted aides.

His face showed no joy. Hatoyama Norio’s life or death mattered little to him, as the position of leader would never be his anyway.

The reason for doing this was merely to provoke Hatoyama Kiichi to seek revenge for him.

Meanwhile, upon hearing of his father’s departure, Hatoyama Kiichi’s face first displayed a complex expression, followed by an uncontrollable trembling.

It was a state of intense excitement.
