Emerging from the underground pipes that reeked of mildew and faintly smelled of disinfectant, and crawling out of an inspection port disguised as an ordinary community green belt, the three inevitably got stained, but it was not noticeable under the cover of night.

Yes, they spent another day in the underground pipes.

Lu Mingfei was just about to contact Chu Zihang and Ling back home to have them confirm, based on their real-time location, which nook or cranny of Tokyo this godforsaken place he was in was exactly.

However, once you look up, the question becomes superfluous.

Not far away, a skyscraper, like a giant black sword, pierced the night sky and stood tall, its modern streamlined silhouette standing out among the surrounding buildings.

At the top of the building, huge Japanese and English signs, emitting a cold white light, are prominently displayed.

Genji Heavy Industries.

That was the symbol of the power and wealth of the Snake Clan, a core landmark they visited on their first day in Japan!

The cold night wind blew by, but it couldn't dispel the sense of absurdity and overwhelming anger that instantly rose in the hearts of the three.

"TMD!"

Even the usually cynical Fingel couldn't help but swear and kicked the nearby trash can hard, making a loud bang that was particularly jarring in the quiet street corner.

"I've been like a groundhog these past few days, running around Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Kanagawa... covering almost half of Japan! I've crawled through countless stinky sewers and seen so much disgusting stuff! And the hell, my final destination is the very place we arrived at on the first day?!"

A sense of rage at being utterly fooled by the Snake Clan made his face turn ashen.

This is not just a matter of running around in vain; it also signifies the unbridled nature of the opponent and the unfathomable corruption that may exist within the Snake Clan.

Gu Nan crossed his arms, his cold gaze sweeping over the massive black iron building, a cruel smile curving his lips.

"Sure enough, the more glamorous and strictly regulated a place appears, the more filth it hides underneath. What's this called? The darkest place is under the lamp? Or... embezzlement by those in charge?"

Lu Mingfei's face was equally gloomy, as if it could drip water.

Genji Heavy Industries!

This answer was both unexpected and reasonable.

But he forced himself to calm down quickly; now was not the time to vent his emotions.

"Let's analyze it; there are several possibilities."

He pressed his earpiece and asked Zero, who was far away in the safe house, in a low voice.

She is best suited for intelligence analysis.

After a brief silence, Zero's cold, emotionless voice rang out, like the most sophisticated logic processor outputting a result.

"Based on the available intelligence, the probabilities are ranked as follows."

"First, the higher-ups or key factions of the Snake Clan are the masterminds behind human trafficking, genetic experiments, and subsequent events. They used their control over Tokyo's underground facilities and internal security system to carry out their criminal activities. Probability: 35%."

"Secondly, the forces of the Demon Kings have deeply infiltrated and even partially controlled the management authority of the underground facilities related to the Snake-Headed Eight Families. They are using the Snake-Headed Eight Families' shell and infrastructure to carry out their own plans. Some people within the Snake-Headed Eight Families may be aware of this and cooperate, or they may be kept in the dark. Probability: 40%."

"Third, there is some kind of secret cooperation or exchange of interests between the Demon Clan and some high-ranking members of the Snake Clan. This underground port node is the product of their cooperation, with each side getting what they need. Considering the information provided by Uesugi Kotsugi and Minamoto no Chizuru—that the two organizations share the same origin—this possibility exists. Probability: 25%."

Zero's summary is clear and ruthless, stripping away all possibilities of warmth or loyalty to point directly to the darkest core.

"so what?"

Lu Mingfei pressed on, his gaze fixed on the brightly lit yet abyss-like gate of Genji Heavy Industries, "Are you certain this is their main base? Or just another transit point?"

This time, it was Chu Zihang who answered, his voice carrying its usual caution.

"Probability assessment: There is approximately a 60% chance that it is a core stronghold or important hub. This is based on its location directly below Genji Heavy Industries, its well-equipped facilities, and its direct access by submarines. However, there is still a 40% chance that it is merely a high-level transit point or branch base, with the final command and core areas located elsewhere."

He paused and added.

"My suggestion is to continue covert surveillance, ascertain the complete operational process of this node, personnel rotation, and whether the underwater vehicle has other routes. Obtain more evidence before deciding on an action plan, to avoid alerting the enemy and causing the trail to break again."

"Sixty percent...that's enough!"

Lu Mingfei interrupted Chu Zihang's suggestion; his patience had been exhausted by Su Xiaoqiang's second disappearance and the frustration of days of tracking him.

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

He wouldn't wait any longer, nor did he want to play any more cat-and-mouse games.

The enemy has already set up their nest right under their noses. This is a blatant provocation and a fatal flaw!

"Fingal!"

Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked at his companion, whose face was full of displeasure.

"You take our special response team that came to support us and immediately take down that small port in Kanagawa, as well as the underground transit station we discovered!"

"Be quick and ruthless, but remember—leave no survivors, especially the ringleaders who seem to know the inside story! Follow the trail; I need to find out the upstream and downstream of this underground network, where the next port might be!"

"Got it! We should have done this a long time ago!"

Fingel's spirits lifted, and he rubbed his hands together, his previous frustration vanishing, replaced by a wolf-like gleam in his eyes.

He immediately began calling and deploying his elite squad through an encrypted channel.

After arranging things here, Lu Mingfei's gaze fell on Gu Nan.

This female general from the Warring States period was already impatient, and a fierce aura was gathering around her.

"Sister Nan."

Lu Mingfei's voice was calm, yet it carried an iron will.

"here I am!"

Gu Nan grinned, his hand already resting on the hilt of the horizontal sword at his waist.

Lu Mingfei pointed to the Genji Heavy Industries building standing silently in the darkness not far away, and said, word by word:

"Let's go, let's go take over that base—"

"Take it down!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two figures, like a swift wind merging into the night, sped towards the black mega-building that was both a symbol of the pinnacle of power among the Japanese mixed-race world and, at this moment, possibly the hiding place of the deepest sins!

No more lurking, no more probing.

Tonight, Lu Ming is determined to personally tear open the festering sore beneath this glamorous facade, and in the most direct and violent way, announce the beginning of the end to all the demons and monsters hiding in the shadows!

Under the Tokyo night sky, a surprise attack aimed straight at the heart of the enemy suddenly erupted!
