A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1161 A Strange Night

Ye Fan had given the head of the Xue family, Xue Ren-Yang, strict instructions before leaving Yanjing. Seeing Xu Lei was as good as seeing Ye Fan! Hence, Xu Lei was more like the heads of both the Xu and Xue families.

Xu Lei was now far more powerful with Ye Fan's protection outside Yanjing and the Xue family within Yanjing.

It would be no easy feat for Xu Feng-Liang to steal power from Xu Lei on his own.

Xu Feng-Liang would probably remain low-key after Xu Lei made those hints today.

The entire Xu residence went quiet after Xu Lei left.

Everyone else in the Xu family had retired for the night.

After a day of commotion, Yanjing reverted to silence.

However, on this very night, miles away in Japan, the streets of Tokyo were in unrest.

Inside some military camp in the city suburbs.

The camp was heavily guarded, and infrared scanners kept scanning the perimeter of the camp.

Thousands of warning signs stood outside, warning people that no entry was allowed.

RUMBLE!

A military off-road vehicle came driving from outside.

The car door opened, and a middle-aged man got off the car.

Everyone turned to salute him as Commander Sato in unison when they saw him.

"Good." Sato nodded before he asked, "Was everything peaceful at the base today? Did anyone attempt to attack?"

"Commander Sato, everything was normal," replied his subordinate reverently.

Sato nodded but continued to look worried and afraid. He continued, "I'm glad nothing is amiss, but do not let your guard down. I don't want history to repeat itself. I don't want the camp to get attacked again. Send my orders, double the patrol guards immediately. Expand the area of patrol one kilometer beyond the camp immediately. If you discover any problems, sound the alarm immediately."

Sato's deep voice echoed by their ears as he said immediately three times in a row.

However, his subordinates felt puzzled.

"Commander Sato, the number of people on patrol has increased manyfold in the last two months. I don't think there is any reason for it to keep increasing. We are not at war, so I think..." "What?" Sato frowned as his face instantly turned cold. He said unhappily, "Are you doubting my judgment?"

His subordinates instantly panicked and replied with their heads lowered, "Absolutely not."

"In that case, get it done immediately! Also, my guards have to double. Get it done tonight!"

At the drop of his voice, Sato headed out to the tent to rest.

Shortly after Sato left, his men continued to talk about him.

"What do you think came over him? He used to be brave and valiant. When did he become so careful? It feels as though he is afraid to die."

It was not the first time that Sato was increasing the number of troops on patrol. Also, he mobilized a lot of soldiers to stand guard outside his tent and even increased the number of guards beside him with the best martial artists in camp.

Everyone naturally found his unusual behavior bewildering.

"He is probably scared. I heard a man once entered the camp and almost killed the commander. Also, ever since then, he moved right into the camp and refused to leave unless he has something urgent to attend to.

"Also, the commander moved into the bomb shelter a few days ago. When he sleeps at night, someone stands guard by the bed. I even heard that the commander started praying to Buddha. It seems he must have gotten quite a scare."

"Are you kidding? Did someone really charge into the camp single-handedly to kill the commander?"

Many of the soldiers kept gossiping about him outside the tent. Some of the troops were here for exercises or were just rookies. Hence, a lot of them didn't understand what happened recently. Everyone kept gossiping as they went ahead with their tasks. However, Sato went inside his bomb shelter.

This bomb shelter was the safest place in the entire base.

It could protect Sato from air strikes or nuclear weapons.

It certainly was an underground fortress.

In theory, these structures would only be of any use during nuclear situations or attacks.

However, Sato didn't care.

He almost died in the hands of a grandmaster, so for the sake of survival, he had to live here.

After all, Sanshin Organization didn't offer him any protection whatsoever. Also, the Chu family removed their protection after claiming that the threat had been eradicated.

Since he couldn't rely on any powerful martial artists, he could only pin his hope on life-saving structures like this.

"Yamamoto, go out and check with the guards on patrol and see if they saw anything. I don't know why my eyelids keep jumping and I feel anxious."

Sato lay in bed without being able to sleep for a long time.

He had no idea why he was unable to sleep.

"Commander Sato, you must have overworked yourself. Haven't we already taken care of that lunatic? The Chu family promised that you can rest at ease after the lunatic was taken care of. Don't worry about someone coming to seek revenge," Sato's right hand man, Yamamoto Kumachi, consoled Sato.

Although it was true, Sato couldn't calm himself down.

Once bitten, twice shy.

He had been attacked several times after taking down Chu Tian-Fan. On many occasions, he nearly perished.

Although the Chu family claimed the threat had been removed, Sato simply couldn't relax.

What if that lunatic didn't die and made a comeback?

Yamamoto Kumachi had no choice but to check as the commander ordered.

However, he didn't return after a long time.

"Hmm? Why isn't Yamamoto back? Okada, go check on him!"

Sato frowned as he sent someone to go after him.

However, the same thing happened after the second person went out.

He was impossible to contact over the phone.

Sato had no choice but to send out a third and fourth person.

In the end, out of ten of his guards, only four remained.

The other six didn't come back after getting sent out by Sato.

There was complete silence in the underground bomb shelter, and only a yellow light was shone dimly inside.

It was so dark and quiet outside that they had no visibility within one arm's length. It sounded as though a demon had opened its gaping mouth to swallow everything.

HUUU!
