I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

If the manor's defenses were weak, Nogami Saeko wouldn't mind doing so. She's not the kind of person who's limited by her education or the law. In fact, given her family background, it would be a joke to expect her to completely abide by the law. When it comes to finding clues and chasing criminals, Nogami Saeko has a very flexible moral bottom line. She wouldn't mind taking advantage of the manor's weak defenses to sneak into the manor and find information that she thinks will be useful in chasing the Phantom Thief Cat's Eye.

Unfortunately, Saeko Nogami found the manor she had entered too strange. The behavior of the EU Group, a large American company, was too eerie. Without the crucial information that required her to rescue someone or explore, she naturally wouldn't take any big risks. Moreover, it seemed that the manor had already captured the accomplice of the Phantom Thief Cat's Eye, and would likely be more vigilant and search the area. Staying any longer might make things very bad.

However, Saeko Nogami was very alert and acted decisively, making a plan to leave. But Li Mo had already discovered her actions, and now that he had finally gotten her to come to him, how could he let this beautiful piece of meat fly away?

……

"Beautiful lady, why don't you stay?"

As Nogami Saeko made up her mind, she nimbly leaped over the rooftop like a cat, landing on a clump of trees on the side of the manor. Then, she used the momentum to jump over the wall and land to dissipate the force. Suddenly, she heard a strange voice behind her.

In this situation, a less timid person might have been frightened and lost their composure. Someone like Saeko Nogami, who had just jumped from a height, might have been startled upon landing and lost her composure, potentially leading to danger. Fortunately, Saeko Nogami is no ordinary person. As the commander of an elite police squad of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, her courage and insight are top-notch. She immediately took over the roll and rolled away.

Just kidding! Saeko Nogami wouldn't be stupid enough to stand still. Before she jumped over the roof and ran away, she had already checked her surroundings and found no bodyguards. At most, a few people might have noticed something was wrong and chased after her. Considering that the EU Group had dozens of semi-automatic weapon licenses in Japan, staying still would be suicidal.

So, the instant she landed, Nogami Saeko switched from using her momentum to a landing roll, trying to avoid any possible gunfire from behind. However, when Nogami Saeko stood up, she was not attacked at all.

To Nogami Saeko's surprise, when she looked up behind her, she found Li Mo standing in the direction where she had just jumped from the viewing tree inside the manor over the wall and landed. Not only did he not make a sound, but he was also smiling at her, seemingly posing no threat. However, Nogami Saeko knew very well that being able to fall silently from a wall at least six meters high, without her noticing anything before she heard a sound, was definitely not something an ordinary strong person could do.

Having confirmed Li Mo's presence and that he was no ordinary person, Nogami Saeko, who knew a fair bit about individual combat prowess, did not hesitate for a moment. She retreated while simultaneously throwing her signature hidden weapons:

"watch out!"

Chapter 20 Catch them all in one fell swoop

Hiss!

With a sharp shout from Nogami Saeko, her slender, fair hand instantly pulled a dart from her thigh and threw it. The specially made short dart, which looked to be no more than ten centimeters long, made a slightly piercing sound as it was thrown.

This is one of Saeko Nogami's personal skills. Although she has a gun, she cannot bring the assigned firearm to tonight's operation. Otherwise, by examining the bullet marks, she could tell that it was a Japanese police firearm. By comparing it with the Japanese police's firearms, she could find out who was using it. When Saeko Nogami is on a mission to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, she naturally does not need to worry about firing a gun. However, for a private investigation like today, using a firearm is really an unreliable approach.

In contrast, Saeko Nogami was carrying police-issued auxiliary equipment such as infrared binoculars tonight. Her weapons at the moment were wire, darts, and a dagger. Naturally, she had to use long-range attacks, so she pulled out three specially made short darts and threw them out!

"Darts? You're passable at best..."

Seeing Saeko Nogami's decisive actions, Li Mo admired her resolute attitude. However, when he saw the three points of cold light fly in front of him in an instant, he casually waved his hand dismissively and caught the three specially made short darts in his palm.

Of course, Li Mo's understatement was not to say that Nogami Saeko's dart throwing skills were bad. In fact, the lethality of her darts was quite considerable. At close range, the power even exceeded that of police firearms. Otherwise, Nogami Saeko would not have carried darts and practiced so diligently. It was because when she occasionally used specially made short darts, they were very convenient and powerful enough to make ordinary criminals lose their fighting ability directly.

In actual comparison, the difference between civilian and police firearms is not significant. Excluding special cases like America's where the police need high-powered firearms, Japanese police firearms are designed to subdue rather than kill criminals. Even the semi-automatic pistol used by Nogami Saeko is only slightly more powerful than the small revolver most commonly used by Japanese police. Her short darts, thrown with all her might, can penetrate a 50mm thick solid wooden board at a distance of 15 to 20 meters, and a fatal hit can easily kill!

Importantly, Japan has very strict gun control. Even mid-level officers like Saeko Nogami, when leading her team to apprehend criminals, have to submit a report after firing their weapons. Cases involving firearms are a major focus for the Japanese police, while the use of things like darts is largely ignored, even if someone dies. This shows how seriously Japan takes cases involving firearms.

Nogami Saeko showed no mercy when she threw the three short darts at Li Mo. However, he caught the three sharp darts without even blinking, which still made Nogami Saeko feel very surprised!

[They caught it with their hands? Damn it, they really are those powerful individual cultivators...]

Seeing Li Mo's performance, Nogami Saeko felt extremely helpless. She had no intention of fighting Li Mo anymore. She retreated rapidly while grabbing a few short darts and wires, hoping to find that faint hope of escaping.

Saeko Nogami knew that this was just a pipe dream for her!

Those who have reached or are close to the pinnacle of human capability, capable of fighting against fully armed soldiers or police, and especially strong individuals in hilly areas, forests, or densely built-up areas, can even single-handedly defeat a modern light infantry unit.

It was precisely because of the outstanding performance of these individual powerhouses that, supposedly, in the Cold War period that had just ended a few years prior, America and the Red Bear, in addition to assembling their own individual powerhouses into special operations teams and deploying them to many hidden battlefields, attempted to artificially mass-produce super soldiers comparable to these individual powerhouses... Well, this is a widely circulated rumor, but what is intriguing to intelligent people is that none of the five giants have openly refuted this claim.

Saeko Nogami, because of her family background, vaguely knew that this was not just a rumor. America, Red Bear, and even the Five Giants all had such plans, only with different focuses on technology or personal training. Even before America had its claws pulled out and was kept like a dog, Japan had research projects on super soldiers.

After all, the combat power of individual strongmen is undeniable. It is perfectly normal for the five superpowers and powerful countries to want to create super soldiers comparable to these individual strongmen. Moreover, during the Cold War, the two superpowers spared no effort to enhance their strength. America and the Red Bear successively formulated their own super soldier projects, which is not a rumor but a fact to discerning people.

It was nothing more than America and the Red Bear. Despite huge investments, they didn't make any real progress on the super soldier project. Their attempt to mass-produce super soldiers like industrial products failed. A few years later, the Red Bear collapsed. Without its rival, America stopped many Cold War projects, including the super soldier project.

Compared to ordinary Japanese people who only know rumors at most, Saeko Nogami naturally knows more and in greater detail. She doesn't know much about the super soldier projects that the two superpowers have stopped one after the other, but she knows a lot about those individual strongmen. Famous martial arts masters in Japan are registered with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. The famous gunmen, martial artists and swordsmen who are involved in yakuza groups are also under the special attention of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

In a sense, the elite police squad led by Saeko Nogami, with its snipers, assault troops, and various equipment, was designed to target these powerful individuals who could inflict massive damage at any time and were simply beyond the capabilities of ordinary Japanese police. In other countries, orderly nations would similarly divide and conquer those powerful individuals, never allowing them to unite and target them.

The problem is, Saeko Nogami never imagined that by coming to the EU Manor to gather intelligence, she would find a powerful individual coming to deal with her. She was incredibly lucky. Right now, she was only thinking about making a desperate escape, not going up there to her death!

"Want to run?!"

Seeing Saeko Nogami's decisive retreat, Li Mo's eyes flickered, and without hesitation, he chased after her, preparing to capture her.

Boom!

Just as Li Mo was catching up and was about to get close to Nogami Saeko, the beautiful woman suddenly pulled on her wrist, and what looked like a wrist guard suddenly sprayed out a large amount of lime powder, which immediately covered Li Mo's entire body.

Well, as the captain of an elite police squad with a very flexible moral compass, Saeko Nogami naturally wouldn't mind using any underhanded tactics. Sprinkling lime, a sneaky trick that requires no skill, is something she would use without restraint when acting on her own. The reason she didn't use it just now was because she was more than ten meters away from Li Mo. Her modified wristband couldn't possibly spray the lime that far, and given Li Mo's skill, he could probably have avoided the range of this sneaky trick if he had been paying attention beforehand.

Seeing Li Mo suddenly covered in lime powder, Nogami Saeko did not take the opportunity to attack but turned around and ran without hesitation. She did not want to take this opportunity to eliminate the enemy, but continued her previous decision to escape.

The reason is very simple: Nogami Saeko knew that her little trick just now could at most trouble Li Mo, but it was far from enough to kill him.

Admittedly, even top-tier individual powerhouses can still die from concentrated gunfire, but they remain exceptionally skilled in close combat. Even with severe injuries such as blindness or deafness, it doesn't prevent them from killing those arrogant fools, using the blood of those idiots to make others understand why individual powerhouses are so feared by the authorities.

Even if they have only a breath left, top-tier experts who have honed their physical abilities and combat skills to the peak can inflict devastating damage on anyone who dares to approach rashly. Even experts of the same level facing an enemy fighting to the death will likely be severely injured by the enemy's dying counterattack. Even experts of the same level who are slightly stronger than their opponents may be injured. Ordinary soldiers and police officers will suffer even greater losses.

Having reviewed many classified files from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Nogami Saeko was well aware of this. She didn't expect her little tricks to catch her opponent off guard. If she stepped forward now thinking it was a good opportunity, she would most likely be killed on the spot with her eyes closed, or at least be captured and taken prisoner. Considering her obvious actions towards that strong man and the attraction of her appearance and temperament to men, Nogami Saeko knew that if she became a prisoner, the consequences would probably be very bad.

In fact, Nogami Saeko's premonition was very accurate. Li Mo had originally seen her search for the EU Group's clues and had the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation. However, seeing Nogami Saeko's decisive actions and her efforts to resist despite being at a disadvantage, he felt that this was the big fish he had been waiting for. Naturally, he would not let go of this tall and beautiful woman, especially since he had almost suffered a small loss after being hit in the head by lime powder.

Before Saeko Nogami had run thirty meters, not far from the grove and bushes, she felt a sudden tightening on her back as she was lifted up. Her body went limp and powerless, and she heard Li Mo's smug voice:

"Hehe, Ms. Nogami Saeko, you really do need to be taught a lesson~!"

Chapter 21 The Secret Room.MP4

Saeko Nogami surrendered immediately and became Li Mo's prisoner!

This time, Nogami Saeko was unable to make any small moves. She was so weak that she couldn't even move a finger. She was pulled into Li Mo's arms, and he took out all the small items on her body.

It must be said that Saeko Nogami is an extremely beautiful woman. Standing over 1.75 meters tall with a nine-head figure, she is comparable to a world-class model. Her proud and slender figure is further accentuated by the tight-fitting clothes she is wearing. Even though she is currently wearing a specially made night suit with a breathable mask, experienced people can tell just by looking at her slender figure that unless she is as ugly as a plain woman, as long as her appearance is average, she will definitely be considered a beauty. Moreover, she is an outstandingly beautiful woman.

In contrast, Saeko Nogami, this great beauty, is like a thorny, alluring rose. Just the various trinkets that Li Mo found on her are enough to leave anyone who sees them speechless.

For example, the roll of high-strength steel wire that can be wrapped around the inner ring of a belt can also be used to set traps or serve as a weapon. A sharp alloy dagger and a dozen specially made short darts are the main weapons. The wrist guards are made of lightweight alloy and have a hidden mechanism for spraying lime powder. The specially made leather boots are inlaid with alloy plates and hidden blades.

It's no exaggeration to say that with her equipment, Nogami Saeko could easily infiltrate an ordinary wealthy man's estate and become unstoppable. Ordinary bodyguards would be no match for her. Even if there were highly skilled bodyguards who were good at physical combat or fighting techniques, they would likely lose in a one-on-one fight against Nogami Saeko. Not to mention that when Nogami Saeko uses the gadgets she has prepared, her combat power is far beyond what ordinary high-level bodyguards can match.

After all, Saeko Nogami's fighting skills are actually quite good. While her marksmanship is not quite as good, it is only slightly inferior. She can easily take down several ordinary bodyguards without much effort. Otherwise, she would not be able to lead this elite police squad. Even if the head of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department dotes on his daughter, he would not let her sit in an unsuitable position. Moreover, the fact that Saeko Nogami can steadily lead an elite police squad without being questioned or rejected by other high-ranking officials already shows that her abilities are indeed outstanding.

The problem was that before Saeko Nogami discovered the anomaly at the manor, she was completely unaware of Li Mo, an unexpected factor. By the time she realized something was wrong and fled without hesitation, Li Mo had already set his sights on her and was in pursuit. Even though Saeko Nogami tried everything she could, she couldn't bridge the huge gap in strength between them. She managed to stall for a dozen seconds before Li Mo captured her.

Now, Li Mo casually embraced the captured Nogami Saeko, ignoring her angry gaze, and strolled into the manor. He then signaled to the bodyguards to clean up the vehicles of the two uninvited guests before preparing to take Nogami Saeko to the underground secret room.

………………

Rewinding to a few minutes earlier, in the basement of the large villa where Li Mo, Robert, and Washimine Yukio lived, Kiyotomi, who was still unable to sleep and resting with her eyes closed, was greeted by a scene that she found particularly "surprising": her older sister and younger sister had also been brought along!

This was undoubtedly a very "surprising" experience for Kisugi Hitomi. She was astonished to see her eldest sister, Kisugi Rui, and her youngest sister, Kisugi Ai, being led into a room. Then, Roberta, a mixed-race beauty dressed in a revealing maid outfit, told her directly that these were the people who had tried to sneak into the manor to find her that night, and that another uninvited guest would arrive soon. She told the three sisters to stay put for the time being, and that when their master, Li Mo, came to find them, he would naturally tell them how to solve the current problem. She should prepare herself mentally in advance.

Hitomi felt a little uneasy at Robert's words. She had thought about kidnapping the beautiful maid who delivered the food during the day, but the maid had taken her down and let her go. However, this also made Hitomi realize that the beautiful mixed-race maid was actually very strong in combat. However, the maid's attitude was very ambiguous. She was very polite to Hitomi and the two sisters who had just arrived, and even had the leisure to remind them to be mentally prepared.

Seeing Robert turn and leave, knowing that the other party would never say if she didn't want to, Hitomi bit her lip and didn't say anything more. Instead, after the other party closed the door, she worriedly pulled Hitomi and Ai Kisugi together, and only felt relieved after confirming that the two sisters were not hurt!

"Big sister, Xiao Ai, how did you find this place?!"

Facing her two sisters, whom she could only wear the same set of underwear until now, Hitomi Kisugi disregarded her shyness and quickly hugged them to make sure they were unharmed before looking at them anxiously and asking them what was wrong.

"I found out you weren't arrested by the police by checking the information about the wealthy family I was targeting, and then I paid an informant for a lead to get here..."

Hearing Hitomi's intimate question, Rui, who had almost been pounced on by her younger sister, sat awkwardly on the bed in the room. She was relieved to find that while her sister Hitomi appeared quite aroused, there were no signs of torture or other injuries. She then told her the situation, and looking at the sealed underground room, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, saying, "It seems we've walked right into a trap, becoming prey for the EU Group. Now we'll see what that gentleman thinks!"

At this moment, Lai Sheng Lei had come to her senses. She vaguely realized that the EU Group must have secretly let her and her younger sister get to this manor to infiltrate and investigate. Otherwise, how could she have so easily learned that her younger sister, Lai Sheng Tong, was injured and even suspected to be in this manor when she was secretly investigating her whereabouts?

The problem is, even if Lai Sheng Lei knew she might have been tricked, and was given a second chance, she would still come to this manor to investigate. The reason is that she couldn't just abandon her younger sister, Lai Sheng Tong. Moreover, if Lai Sheng Lei really didn't care about her two younger sisters, she could easily find a husband to live with her. If it weren't for Lai Sheng Tong and Lai Sheng Ai, she wouldn't be almost thirty years old and still not have a man. There are even rumors going around that the head of the Lai Sheng family might have a different sexual orientation.

Fortunately, Lai Sheng Rui no longer needs to worry about so much. She and her two younger sisters are now prisoners. Considering the considerable fame of the Phantom Thief Cat's Eye, the Lai Sheng family and their connections are unreliable. They can only wait and see what the man who captured them is thinking.

"Miss..."

Hearing Lai Sheng Rui's words, Lai Sheng Ai, who hadn't quite grasped the situation, was extremely surprised. She was clearly less experienced than her second sister and didn't even notice that her second sister, Lai Sheng Tong, was pursing her lips, not saying a word, but with a determined look in her eyes.

"Xiao Ai, Xiao Tong, let's take a rest for now!"

Faced with her youngest sister Ai's questioning gaze, Rui didn't explain anything in detail to her. She didn't want her youngest sister to come into contact with anything too dark. As for Hitomi, she could tell at a glance that this younger sister was also a troublemaker. However, as the eldest sister, she had to uphold the reputation of the Laisheng family. It wasn't her younger sister Hitomi's place to make sacrifices, even if it was because of her that the three sisters were captured in one fell swoop.

Before the three sisters could rest for even a few minutes, they heard the door open and saw Li Mo walk in. Nogami Saeko, who had been restrained, was being helped by Robert, and even Washimine Yukio was standing by watching!

……

"Three beautiful ladies, please come with me!"

Upon seeing the three Cat's Eye sisters, Li Mo, who had just returned, appeared very pleased. He waved his hand directly at Lai Sheng Rui, Lai Sheng Tong, and Lai Sheng Ai, giving them no chance to refuse.

"Mr. Li Mo, I can offer up all the wealth of the Sheng family in hopes that you will spare my two younger sisters..."

Upon seeing Li Mo's appearance, along with Robert, whom she had met before, and the two beauties Washimine Yukio and Nogami Saeko, Kisugi Rui became even more determined to sacrifice herself to save her two younger sisters. She took the initiative and walked forward with an alluring cat-like gait, stating her stated conditions to Li Mo while speaking in an almost provocative manner.

"No, no, Ms. Kisugi Rui, I want more than just you, I want all three of you sisters~!"

Faced with the charming appearance of Lai Sheng Rui's slightly flushed face, Li Mo directly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. Then, he looked at Lai Sheng Rui with a grin, and Lai Sheng Tong and Lai Sheng Ai, whose expressions were complicated, and greedily responded.

As a transmigrator whose skin was gradually thickening and who was beginning to resemble the legendary city walls, Li Mo naturally wouldn't let go of the beautiful meat that was already in his bowl. He was deeply moved by the fact that Lai Sheng Lei was willing to sacrifice herself to save her two younger sisters, so he decided that the three sisters wouldn't have to be separated. He kept all three sisters by his side by himself. He didn't even intend to let Nogami Saeko go. Since this great beauty had taken the initiative to deliver herself to his door, Li Mo naturally wouldn't refuse her and was ready to accept her as well.

Before Lai Shengrui could even voice her objection, Li Mo lowered his head and kissed the black-haired beauty's lips. Under the silent gazes of Robert and Washimine Yukio, he embraced the Cat-Eye sisters and three other beauties, and together they stepped into another secret room...

(Well, the mythical crab is currently waving its pincers as it passes by. To ensure the book can continue, the rest of the content will be included in the bonus chapters~O(∩_∩)O~)

Chapter 22 Highlights

"Ding dong~!"

Around noon on the second day, in an ordinary hotel in Tokyo Port, a cell phone rang next to an elderly man who looked to be nearly sixty years old. The clear and pleasant ringtone startled the old man who was resting with his eyes closed.

Kisugi Nagaishi! This is the name of the old man who looks Japanese but clearly has some mixed-race features. He is also the old butler of the Kisugi family. He has served the Kisugi family since the previous head of the family and is an important helper who fully assists Kisugi Rui in maintaining the Kisugi family's business. Otherwise, when the previous head of the Kisugi family, Heinz, suddenly died in an accident, Kisugi Rui, who was only fourteen years old at the time, would not have had the opportunity to take power without Nagaishi, the loyal subordinate.

Now, Butler Nagaishi has been busy for the past few days, from clues about the Kuroda family to desperately investigating news about the EU Manor yesterday. He even stayed here alone overnight to prepare an escape route, just to prevent any unexpected contingency plans.

"Miss?!"

Upon seeing the familiar number displayed on his phone, the old butler, Yongshi, who had been holding on all night, immediately perked up. He quickly answered the call and cautiously inquired, fearing that a stranger's voice would come from the other end.

"Uncle Nagaishi, I've already spoken with the people at the EU Group. They've let Hitomi go and are willing to help, but the Kisei family must join them and become part of their organization. I've agreed to this proposal. Uncle Nagaishi, please rest for a couple of days, and I'll discuss the details of joining with you..."

The voice coming from the phone was that of Kisei Rui. Her voice was somewhat hoarse, and her tone was weak and listless, which unconsciously conjured up the image of a beautiful woman who looked exhausted but was talking on her phone.

Upon hearing Lai Shengrui's words, Butler Yongshi's expression shifted from surprise to relief. He could clearly hear a hint of ease in the tired yet slightly hoarse voice of the eldest young lady, Lai Shengrui. However, he could foresee that the EU Group's willingness to relent and release the second young lady, Lai Shengtong, allowing the Lai Sheng family to join its ranks, would likely come at a great cost for Lai Shengrui and the Lai Sheng family.
