Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 998 Head-on conflict

Facing Fujita Ying's questioning that was almost spitting fire, Asanogawa just replied coldly: "We haven't completed a thorough inspection of the dark room yet, why are you in such a hurry?" This sentence was like an invisible sword, piercing directly into Fujita Ying's heart, making his anger instantly burn to the peak.

Fujita Ying's face turned extremely ugly, his eyes widened, almost spitting fire. He roared angrily: "You bunch of lunatics! We have finally collected the food, but you have made it a mess. This is simply too much! You people from Pu Yu, do you still have any rules?!"

Asano Gawa just smiled lightly upon hearing this, and that smile was full of sarcasm and disdain. He said calmly: "Fujita Ying, stop shouting here. We are performing official duties, searching for possible illegal items. If you really have something shameful hidden in there, then tell us quickly, and maybe you can suffer less."

Fujita Ying was so angry that he was shaking all over. He almost lost his mind. At this moment, the door of the warehouse was suddenly knocked open, and a dense and powerful sound of footsteps followed. Dozens of fully armed guards wearing the uniform of the Fujita Chamber of Commerce Guards poured into the warehouse like a tide. They held weapons and had cold eyes, like a group of bloodthirsty beasts.

The leading guard captain first exchanged a look with Ling Jiangxu, which was full of tacit understanding and trust. Then, he strode to Fujita Ying and reported in a loud voice: "Master Fujita, our guard team has arrived. There are more than 300 people in total. Please give your instructions."

Hearing this, Fujita Ying immediately showed a smug smile on his face. He looked at Asanogawa, his eyes full of provocation and threats: "Did you hear that? My people are here. Now, I'm giving you one last chance, hurry up and take these mad dogs away from here, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

Asanogawa was not moved at all. He looked at Fujita Ying coldly, as if he was watching a clown performing. He said calmly: "Fujita Ying, do you think you can scare me with these people? We are not scared of anything. Today, no matter what you say, we will not give up the search of the dark room."

Fujita Ying was furious when he heard this. He shouted, "Go! Throw all these mad dogs of Pu Yu out!" Following his order, the guards rushed towards the agents of Pu Yu like wild horses.

Facing Fujita Ying's arrogance, Asanogawa's eyes instantly turned cold. He drew out his pistol without hesitation, and pointed the black muzzle directly at Fujita Ying's brow. The cold metal texture flashed coldly under the light, as if it would spray out deadly flames at any time.

"Fujita Ying, listen carefully." Asanogawa's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. "Pu Yu is performing official duties. Anyone who obstructs Pu Yu's actions is an enemy of the empire. You'd better think clearly about what consequences your actions at this moment will bring to the Fujita family."

Fujita Ying's face instantly turned livid, and he widened his eyes in anger, as if he wanted to eat Asanogawa alive. He roared, "Asanogawa, are you crazy? How dare you point a gun at me? This farce should end here! There is nothing else in our dark room except food! If you continue to make trouble like this, it will only make things worse!"

Asanogawa was unmoved, his finger firmly on the trigger, and he said coldly: "Fujita Ying, do you think your roar can scare me? Do you think your threats can make me back down? I tell you, today, no matter what you say or do, you can't stop us from thoroughly checking the darkroom."

Fujita Ying was so angry that he was shaking all over. He almost lost his mind. He shouted: "Asanogawa, don't go too far! If you challenge the bottom line of the Fujita family again and again, then the Fujita family will fight with Pu Yu to the death! Do you understand?"

Asanogawa just smiled contemptuously, as if Fujita Ying's threat was nothing more than an insignificant joke to him. He said calmly: "Fujita Ying, stop bluffing here. Do you think the Fujita family can really compete with us, Pu Yu? You are wrong! In this empire, no one can challenge Pu Yu's authority! Today, if you dare to obstruct us from performing our duties again, don't blame me for being rude!"

As he spoke, Asanogawa's eyes became more fierce, and his finger slightly increased the force on the trigger.

Fujita Ying felt the death threat from the muzzle of the gun, and his face became even uglier.

Asanogawa's eyes were like knives as he stared at Fujita Ying: "Fujita Ying, listen carefully, the people of Pu Yu will not waste too much of your time. It only takes me three hours to complete the final inspection of the darkroom. If you continue to pester me, I don't mind inviting you, the future heir of the Fujita family, to Pu Yu for tea. I believe you will be happy to have a deep chat with us."

Fujita Ying's face turned red instantly and he took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger and unwillingness.

After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke with a hint of compromise in his voice: "Okay, I'll give you some time. But I have two conditions. First, after you finish searching, you must help us put everything back in place in the warehouse. We can't let the order here be affected by our dispute. Second, if you don't find what you want after the search, you, you bastard, must kneel down and kowtow to me to apologize and pay the price for your rudeness and arrogance."

Hearing this, Asanogawa's mouth curled up into a faint sneer. He nodded and agreed: "Okay, I agree to your request. We will give you an explanation in three hours."

Fujita Ying's face was still grim, but he knew that he had no way out at this moment. He could only bite the bullet and stop the guards who were ready to move: "Stop! Let them search! But remember, if they dare to mess around, or don't keep their promise after the search, then the Fujita family will never let it go!"

Upon hearing this, the guards of the trading company, although unwilling in their hearts, put away their weapons and stepped aside.

The atmosphere in the warehouse suddenly became tense and delicate, like a taut string that could break at any time.

Upon seeing this, Asanogawa immediately gave orders to the Jade Agents around him: "Begin the search! Remember, we are performing official duties and cannot be negligent or sloppy. Every corner and every detail must not be missed."

Upon hearing this, the agents of Pu Yu immediately took action. They divided into several groups and began to conduct a final inspection of the dark room.

The warehouse echoed with their busy footsteps, the sound of rummaging through items, and the occasional low conversation.
