Lin Yi and Kenji Nakada walked at the front. Lin Yi arranged for the rest of the retainers to check the other rooms.
Most of these rooms were examined by Lin Yi in advance, and there was a high probability that there was no one inside.
This strategy would use up some time while creating an opportunity for Lin Yi to launch a surprise attack on room 1406.
Lin Yiâs plan wasnât complicated: he and Kenji Nakada would handle the critical rooms 1406 and 1408, while the less crucial areas were left to the others, maximizing the chances of success and minimizing surprises.
Soon, they arrived at the door of room 1406.
Lin Yi whispered a few more instructions to Kenji Nakada to discuss the finer points of their operation.
Kenji Nakda nodded and then knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock!
Soon, the door opened to reveal a blonde woman with blue eyes. She was the same person Lin Yi had seen on the surveillance footage earlier.
She was the woman named Joey, as mentioned by Chen Canrong.
Joey and the other man in the room, Martin, were sent by the Freemason headquarters to assist Hongmen in this mission.
Counting their own men, there were five C-class experts involved in this operation.
This lineup was more than capable of handling the task, but Freemasons had assigned them to this mission, showcasing their immense strength and resources.
âWho are you, and what do you want?â
Joey remained very calm, showing no signs of panic.
While speaking, she sized up Lin Yi and Kenji Nakada, clearly not considering them a threat.
âWeâre with the Sunrise Lands Coast Guard. Weâve received a tip that there are illegal trades happening on this ship. To prevent these items from entering Sunrise Land, we need to conduct a search.â
âCome in.â
Joey didnât protest, as Chen Canrong had already instructed them to cooperate.
She had been told to cooperate with Sunrise Landâs coast guard inspection and not cause unnecessary trouble.
Lin Yi and Kenji Nakada entered the room and saw another man sitting on the sofa, but no one else.
When the two entered, Martin glanced up briefly before returning to his newspaper, showing no further reaction.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi became even more certain of their high skill level, possibly exceeding his own.
They conducted a thorough search, acting convincingly.
It appeared they were searching aimlessly, but in reality, Lin Yi had orchestrated it.
During the search, Lin Yi focused on the area around Martin.
Kenji Nakada, meanwhile, concentrated on the space around Joey.
However, neither of them noticed this small detail.
After about ten minutes of inspection, Kenji Nakada said to Lin Yi,
âI didnât find anything here. Howâs the situation on your side?â
âI didnât find anything either,â Lin Yi replied in standard Sunrise Landese.
This was also a secret signal between the two of them.
Kenji Nakada spoke first and used this method to inform Lin Yi that he was ready.
Lin Yiâs response was also to tell Kenji Nakada that he was ready.
If he was not ready, he would say that he would have to search for a while more.
After receiving Lin Yiâs secret signal, Kenji Nakada said to Joey,
âSir, Madam, according to the rules of our Sunrise Land Coast Guard, we have to search the two of you. If there are no problems after that, we will leave.â
âWhat did you say? You want to search me?â
Joeyâs expression was not good, and a hint of anger appeared on her face.
âIâm a senior engineer at Google. My boyfriend works for Microsoft. Thereâs no reason for either of you to suspect us of hiding contraband.â
âIâm sorry, your work means nothing to us, and we canât clear your name. If you donât accept the examination, Iâll bring you back to Sunrise Land for interrogation.â Lin Yi interrupted.
âDoes that mean all you have to do is frisk us?â asked Martin, who was still reading the newspaper.
âYeah, thatâs the last part of the check.â
âThen letâs begin. However, I hope that you can leave quickly after the inspection. I donât want to see you again as it will affect our rest.â
âWeâre just following the rules. Please understand.â
Martin didnât say anything else. He stood up first and stuck his hands, waiting for Lin Yi to examine him.
Seeing that Martin had stood up, Joey didnât insist.
This was because from the beginning of the operation, Chen Canrong had already told them to cooperate with the Sunrise Landâs coast guard unconditionally.
Facing this situation, they could only obey.
After all, before the operation began, the organization had already instructed them to cooperate fully with Shianggang to complete the mission, so they had no choice.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The two of them stood there with their arms raised while Lin Yi and Kenji Nakada began their inspection.
The two of them first checked the front before turning to the back.
At this moment, Lin Yi took out the scalpel at the back of his waist and covered Martinâs mouth at lightning speed!
Then, the sharp scalpel aimed at Martonâs artery!
As soon as Lin Yi covered Martinâs mouth, the latter realized that something was wrong and responded immediately.
However, at this moment, Lin Yiâs scalpel cut his artery!
In an instant, blood spurted out of Martonâs artery like a fountain.
He widened his eyes and struggled with all his might!
Even though he had reached the C-class and Lin Yi was only at D-class, Lin Yiâs physique and other conditions were higher than Martinâs.
Therefore, even if he used all his strength to struggle, he still couldnât break free from Lin Yiâs restraint.
In just half a minute, Martin was like a deflated ball. His stamina was rapidly depleting, and he soon lost the ability to struggle. He fell to the ground and died on the spot!
Meanwhile, Kenji Nakada moved almost in sync with Lin Yi.
Although he had reached D-class, his overall abilities were significantly lower than Lin Yiâs, being roughly on par with Tao Cheng.
Because of this, his actions were half a beat slower than Lin Yiâs.
This split-second delay gave Joey just enough time to react!
âDamn it!â
Joeyâs rage erupted like a volcano!
She hadnât anticipated this ambush.
The unique tactics of the Huaxians caught her off guard.
Cursing, Joey immediately turned to fight back!
However, despite her slight reaction time, it wasnât enough!
Kenji Nakadaâs dagger struck her, but it didnât sever Joeyâs artery!
In the chaotic moment, she even managed to kick Kenji Nakada.
But then, Lin Yi threw his dagger!
It struck Joeyâs throat squarely!
With that, both of Freemasons C-class experts met their demise.
