Chapter 610: Infiltration

After Xiao Luo and the three yakuza had switched into the clothes of the dead men, three vehicles rushed over and roughly a dozen security guards dressed in black uniform alighted from the vehicles, armed with assault rifles. They were security guards from the villa, and they had heard the earlier commotion. They rapidly advanced, flashing their torchlights on Xiao Luo’s party, which blinded them.

“Who’s there? Give us your identity!” the leader bellowed.

Suzuki Ikuo, the mute man, and the deaf man were so frightened they broke out in a cold sweat and stared anxiously at Xiao Luo. If he did not handle this well, they would all end up dead.

“I’m Matsushita Take!” Xiao Luo roared in response, imitating Matsushita Take’s gritty voice. as he angrily tossed aside the cigar he had in his mouth.

After he announced himself as Matsushita Take, the group of armed security guards were less aggressive and slowly walked over to them. When the leader of the security team confirmed Matsushita Take’s identity, he raised a hand to signal the others to lower their guns. He was an important official of the research facility. The security team leader had a big smile on his face, and he welcomed them.

“It’s you, Major General Matsushita. What happened to you? You all look so disheveled,” the leader said with concern.

“What happened?”

Xiao Luo retorted and then slapped the man across his face.

THWACK!

The stinging sound of the slap resounded in the quiet of the night, and it sent the leader spinning on the spot. His ears were ringing, and his head rang with buzzing noises.

The other security guards shuddered at the sight, and they could almost feel the pain inflicted on their leader just by witnessing what had happened. The slap was intense, and they knew the stinging pain would’ve been difficult to take. They could not help but be silently thankful that they were not the leader.

Suzuki Ikuo and his two henchmen were also in shock. Xiao Luo had slapped a man he had just met for the first time with no regard for anything else. It was too vicious!

Instinctively, the leader immediately stood with a straight back and lowered his head. He looked every bit like someone who was being punished.

Xiao Luo pushed the man back by his nose and looked menacing. “You happy that I got into an accident or something? Are you f*cking mocking me, you sh*t?” he yelled.

The leader felt misunderstood and looked like he was going to cry. He had genuinely asked out of concern. How was that mocking?

“General Major Matsushita, I wasn’t…”

THWACK!

Xiao Luo slapped him again before he even finished speaking.

“You weren’t what? I’ve had enough of your pathetic excuses. My vehicle has broken down. Hurry! Bring me to the base. I’ll skin you alive if you cause me any more delays!” Xiao Luo scowled.

“Yes, Sir!” the leader immediately straightened up stiffly and responded respectfully.

He ignored the stinging sensation on his face for now. Instead, he hurriedly ushered Xiao Luo and the three men into their waiting vehicles with respect and decorum.

Suzuki Ikuo and his henchmen were staring with their eyes wide open. So, they got in just like this? All Xiao Luo had to do was to frighten the security team leader with a few slaps and reprimands. What the f*ck!

…

…

The villa was used to conceal the entrance into the military base, and from the outside, it looked no different from any other mansion. The only difference was that this villa had an enormous basement. The basement was located over 10 meters beneath the surface of the ground. The stone steps that lead the way down were about four or five meters wide.

The entrance was a heavy, bulletproof metal door. The leader of the security team keyed in the password on the keypad at the side of the door, and then Xiao Luo unlocked it by the facial recognition system using Matsushita Take’s face.

“Facial recognition successful!”

A synthesized female voice rang out. The heavy metal door slowly rolled up.

Immediately, a gust of biting cold air blew out from within. Suzuki Ikuo and his two henchmen shivered with their hair standing on ends. What they saw in front of them was not the facility, but a dark corridor, and there they could make out a series of tunnels and trams. It looked like a subway platform, except that this platform was modest in size. Other than the immediate tram area, every other part of the complex was pitch-black.

Xiao Luo stepped onto the tram without waiting, but Suzuki Ikuo hesitated and said, “Mr. Xiao… Major General Matsushita…”

Suzuki Ikuo almost slipped up and called his name, but he quickly recovered and addressed Xiao Luo as “Major General Matsushita” when the latter glared at him. Xiao Luo did not have the same face as before—he was Matsushita Take.

“What’s the matter?” Xiao Luo snarled. Suzuki Ikuo could not help but tremble when the man glared at him coldly.

“N-nothing…” Suzuki Ikuo responded with a nervous laugh. He did not even dare to suggest leaving, for he knew that he had to stick with this Hua nation demon for now. He had no choice but to step into this place, even if it were hell.

Xiao Luo huffed and then turned around and step into the tram followed by Suzuki Ikuo and his men.

The tram ran on a program, and the leader of the security team promptly tinkered around with the controls before turning around to Xiao Luo. “Major General Matsushita, all you need to do is press this green button here, and the tram will automatically bring you to the base,” he said.

THWACK!

Xiao Luo smacked the man heavily with his palm, and it caused the leader of the security team to tear up slightly. He looked at Xiao Luo like a woman scorned. “I’ve been here so many times. You think I need you to tell me what to do?”

The fact was, Xiao Luo needed guidance from the security team leader, but he needed to keep the man on the defensive by continually scaring him. Besides, it was quite a thrill to slap someone like this, and he had grown so accustomed to it that his hand moved on its own accord.

“Yes, Sir!”

The leader immediately stood with his back ramrod straight and nodded stiffly.

“You can get out now!” Xiao Luo said.

“Yes, Sir!”

The leader hurriedly alighted the tram and instantly felt an enormous weight lifted off of his shoulder.

Xiao Luo pressed the green button, and they started to move deeper into the tunnel.

“Since when did Major General Matsushita’s temper become this bad, captain?” a guard asked the security team leader after the tram departed.

“How the f*ck would I know?”

There was no question that the security team leader was thoroughly annoyed. Xiao Luo had slapped him three times across the face for no apparent reason. He took all three hits on the left side of his face, and now he felt nothing but a lingering burning sensation.

“Do you think that is an impostor? Those three do not seem to look like his subordinates from the previous visits,” the same guard said. He had his doubts.

SLAP!

The leader smacked the guard so hard that he saw stars, but he still tried his best to maintain a straight posture.

The security team leader scowled, “Do I look like an impostor to you?”

“No, captain, how can you be an impostor?” the security guard responded, shaking his head.

The security team leader looked at him sternly. “Yes, so how can Major General Matsushita be an impostor? You think an impostor would dare slap me across the face three times?” he said.

“But…”

THWACK!

The leader slapped the guard again and shouted, “Enough! Is this our first time meeting Major General Matsushita? You can’t even recognize Major General Matsushita?”

The final slap and an earful quickly dispelled any further suspicions the guard had.

When the leader left the tunnel, he finally felt at ease. He thought to himself, godd*mn, slapping someone feels great. I’ve got to keep learning from Major General Matsushita!

He did not think of being slapped by Xiao Luo as a humiliation anymore. He felt almost like a role model. He thought it might be a good idea to take a page out of the “major general’s” book and to master this habit in advance before he became a major general himself. This feeling was truly exhilarating.
