Chapter 2022 Scorpion Beauty
“Master, what's wrong?” Yuri immediately asked when she noticed the change of expression on Jared'sface.
“It looks like we have a guest,” Jared uttered with a smirk.
“A guest?” Yuri followed Jared's line of sight and turned her head to the door with a puzzled look butsaw no one.
“I don't see anyone by the door, Master,” Yuri said, looking confused.
“Our guest should be arriving in no time!” Jared said.
All of a sudden, he reached out and released an invisible burst of energy at the wall.
A figure suddenly appeared on the once-empty wall, and with a quick leap, he landed on the groundand retreated at lightning speed!
“We have an intruder here!” Yuri exclaimed.
Upon noticing that, members of the Watanabe family gave chase to the figure. Ryosuke knitted hisbrows and ran after the intruder.
Not long after, Jared heard the sound of fighting, and before he knew it, Ryosuke appeared, escorting aman in a tight-fitting suit.
Despite being in captivity, the man remained composed and displayed no signs of fear at all.
“Who are you? Why did you sneak into the Watanabe residence?” Ryosuke asked while staring at theman.novelbin
The man gave Ryosuke an icy glare but did not utter a word. He tilted his head, revealing a tattoo onhis neck.
It was a tattoo of a scorpion with a long tail that seemed to have been carved deep into the skin.
Ryosuke's expression changed when he saw the tattoo.
“Scorpion? You work for Mieko?” Ryosuke was taken aback.
The man sneered, “Are you not going to release me now that you know who I am? Otherwise, you'llface the wrath of Ms. Harumi.”
Jared was repulsed by the man's arrogance.
He turned to Ryosuke and asked, “Ryosuke, who is this Ms. Harumi?”
“Master, Mieko Harumi heads the intelligence department at Thousand Crane Shrine, overseeing thecollection of intel from families beneath the shrine. The department employs highly-skilled individualsas spies, all of whom bear a scorpion tattoo. Mieko is known for her ruthless demeanor, but her strikingbeauty also commands attention. As a result, she's earned the nickname Scorpion Beauty amongthose who know her,” Ryosuke explained in detail.
“It looks like the shrine already has begun to suspect you,” Jared said with a faint smile.
“I guess so.” Ryosuke nodded in response.
“You better release me, Ryosuke Watanabe. Ms. Harumi is on her way here now,” the man threatenedRyosuke. Somehow, he was unaware of his perilous situation.
“Are you not afraid of death?” asked Jared curiously upon seeing his brazen attitude even when he wascaptured.
The man snorted and replied with a cold, disdainful gaze. “I fear nothing, not even death!”
“I'm impressed. I like men who don't fear death,” Jared remarked, waving his hand and enveloping himin a burst of energy.
The man suddenly felt his body tighten, and his breathing became labored as his face reddened.
“I'll leave him to you, Mr. Flaxseed. But don't let him die too easily since he's not afraid of dying,” Jaredinstructed.
In the blink of an eye, Flaxseed emerged from the mansion. After stretching his body, he said, “Youngman, do you really have to bother me with something so insignificant?”
He then took out a charm, recited a few incantations, and tossed it onto the intruder's body.
Within seconds, swarms of ants and insects crawled out from all directions, surrounding the man.
His screams of agony echoed throughout the entire mansion.
