Chapter 533: Chapter 179: The Niō Riding a Bull Charges to the Battlefield

The Anti-foreigner Group and the Foreigner Residence Area... just seeing these two terms together sends chills down one’s spine!

There were simply too many urgent matters to get clear.

Since this morning, unease has been swirling in Aoto’s mind, rapidly growing...

Aoto couldn’t maintain his patience; to quickly dispel the fog in his brain, he resorted to this cruel method to interrogate the "Scarred Warrior" and his companions.

When Aoto aimed the tip of his Wakizashi at the nail of the third toe of the "Scarred Warrior", the man’s face finally began to show fear and dread.

But after a few movements of his lips, he kept them sealed... Seeing this, Aoto, without hesitation, pried open the nail of his third toe.

Aoto continued to repeat the action of "questioning-nail prying".

Until he had pried open all the toes on the "Scarred Warrior’s" right foot, and Aoto was about to take off his left sock, the "Scarred Warrior" finally seemed to break down, hoarsely shouting:

"I’ll talk! I’ll say everything!"

"Besides Nakamura Tsuki, we indeed also abducted ’Chiba Ghost Komachi’ of the Little Chiba Sword Dojo!"

"They’re all being held at Kaido Fourth District..."

Aoto silently remembered the precise location the "Scarred Warrior" quickly reported.

Days of painstaking surveillance on Nakamura Chouhachirou finally paid off... However, Aoto showed no signs of joy.

Apart from the whereabouts of Miss Sazanoko and others, Aoto had many other equally important questions to ask, leaving him no room for any expression.

Aoto, with an unchanged expression, launched a series of new inquiries:

"You’re all part of the Anti-foreigner Group, aren’t you? Why did you abduct Miss Sazanoko and Miss Nakamura?"

Although he was 70-80% sure that this organized, methodical, and radical group were members of the Anti-foreigner Group, Aoto asked anyway.

And the response from the "Scarred Warrior" was unsurprising to Aoto.

After being tortured by Aoto and revealing the location where Miss Sazanoko and others were held, the "Scarred Warrior" seemed completely resigned.

His face, pale from the severe pain in his foot, nodded lightly:

"Yes... we are part of the Anti-foreigner Group..."

"We didn’t intend to abduct Chiba Sonako... Our initial target was only Nakamura Tsuki, intending to use Nakamura Tsuki to coerce Nakamura Chouhachirou... Because when we officially attempted Nakamura Tsuki’s abduction, Chiba Sonako was with her, and she drank the tea we spiked with ’Sleep Medicine’... Abducting Chiba Sonako was purely accidental."

At this point, the "Scarred Warrior" paused.

Perhaps he realized that Aoto’s questioning focus and attention was always on Sazanoko, so he hurriedly added:

"Chiba Sonako and Nakamura Tsuki, like each other, are well provided with food and drink by us."

"Our Anti-foreigner Group only bares its fangs at national traitors, barbarians, and those who must be sacrificed for the Anti-foreigner Cause, so she and Nakamura Tsuki are both fine."

As if hearing something hilarious, Aoto sneered coldly:

"’Only bares its fangs at national traitors, barbarians, and those who must be sacrificed for the Anti-foreigner Cause’... it’s impressive that you can say such high-sounding words."

On a usual occasion, Aoto might have the leisure to refute the self-aggrandizing rhetoric of the Anti-foreigner Group.

However, there were some pressing questions still needed to be addressed with this "Scarred Warrior", so Aoto didn’t bother to dwell on the absurd remarks just made.

"The content of your blackmailing against Mr. Nakamura Chouhachirou was to make him hand over all the sake ordered by Bright, scheduled to be delivered to the residence today, for your disposal? What are you planning to do with the sake ordered by Bright?"

When asking this question, Aoto’s tone and expression uncontrollably turned grave.

Since it was related to the Foreigner Residence Area, the expression of Mukiwa, who was now standing by Aoto’s side, also became serious.

His dearest friend, Elodie, lived in the residence... So Mukiwa had always been very attentive to the Edo Residence Area.

Upon hearing the new question posed by Aoto, the "Scarred Warrior", who had just seemed resigned, hesitated again.

Aoto keenly noticed the "Scarred Warrior’s" change in facial expression... He remained silent, preparing to pull off the "Scarred Warrior’s" left sock.

This action caused the "Scarred Warrior" to change his face drastically in fear, repeatedly saying, "I’ll talk! I’ll talk!" and "I’ll say everything!".

After another brief inner struggle, the "Scarred Warrior" closed his eyes as if resigning to fate.

"It was only until near this evening that I learned the full scope of the plan devised by Mr. Kamino..."

"Tonight, to celebrate his 60th birthday, the barbarian Bright will host a dance at his house... Most of the residence’s barbarians will attend the dance."

"With all the barbarians gathered together... it will be very convenient to carry out the massacre."

"We will disguise large quantities of kerosene as sake that the barbarian Bright ordered from Nakamura Chouhachirou, openly sneaking the kerosene into the residence, planning to annihilate all the barbarians participating in the Bright Dance tonight, killing them all, burning them all, and then conveniently turn the entire residence area into white ground..."
