Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 1032 - 1031: The Cornered Beast Fights Back

"Oh, Mr. Chu, I knew we were fated to meet again, and here we are, crossing paths so soon."Watanabe Shinji stared at Chu Ge with eyes as cold as a viper's, his face pulling a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

Chu Ge frowned but said nothing.

"Mr. Chu, and the gentleman behind you, that must be Miss Keika's uncle, right? Please, come in. Oh, and do close the door behind you."

While Watanabe Shinji spoke, the gun in his hand was raised once more, the barrel roaming over the four people at the table.

Chu Ge and Su Yuanzhou entered the private room one after the other, with Su Yuanzhou closing the sliding door behind them.

The dishes had all been served, and without their invitation, no waiter would disturb them. Watanabe Shinji had clearly reached the same conclusion from the state of the table.

"Gentlemen, have a seat. Since we've met again, why not have a proper discussion?"

Watanabe Shinji gestured towards them with a polite wave of his left hand while his right hand aimed the gun at Chu Ge. Though his words were courteous enough, the tone was mocking, his expression slanted with one eyebrow raised. Behind his glasses, his eyes brimmed with malice, agitation, hostility, and a manic, hysterical pride.

When Watanabe Shinji had pointed the gun at the others earlier, especially at Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying, Chu Ge had been sweating bullets. Now that the gun was aimed at him, he could finally feel a small sense of relief.

Chu Ge thought that since he had only cultivated the first level of the technique and managed to hypnotize Watanabe Shinji using just the first seven characters, directing him to eliminate Okamoto Hiroshi, the leader of the Qinghong Association...

Given that Su Yuanzhou had advanced to the third level of that cultivation technique, dealing with an ordinary person like Watanabe Shinji should have some effect, even without direct eye contact, right?

As for hypnotizing Watanabe Shinji himself, it's not impossible, but the problem was that Watanabe Shinji's mood was clearly unstable.

Even using his toes, Chu Ge could guess that hypnotizing under these conditions would be much more difficult than when Watanabe Shinji was calm, and having already hypnotized him once in the afternoon, Chu Ge was unsure if Watanabe Shinji might have developed some resistance.

To use an analogy, it's like how Hua Country people can eat slightly dodgy food without issue, but foreigners might end up with an upset stomach.

That's because the stomachs of Hua Country people have been trained by "gutter oil," "Sudan Red," and "melamine," among other things. Saying they're invincible to poisons might be exaggerated, but they certainly handle minor issues well, with excellent resistance.

Furthermore, even if Chu Ge could hypnotize Watanabe Shinji again, it would likely require a full effort, using the highest seventh character he had learned.

Saying he could manage with just the fourth character would be utter nonsense, especially since he had just told Su Yuanzhou a few minutes ago that he'd only mastered up to the fourth character.

In conclusion, Chu Ge had only just begun to explore this cultivation technique, and with so many uncertainties, he truly had no confidence. No matter how he thought about it, letting Su Yuanzhou take the lead seemed the safer option.

"Mr. Chu, of all people, you should know best what happened to me, right? You can imagine how miserable I am now, can't you?"

While Chu Ge pondered controlling or eliminating Watanabe Shinji, the tense stillness of the private room was broken by Watanabe Shinji's seemingly calm, yet deeply resentful voice.

Chu Ge didn't reply, and Watanabe Shinji clearly didn't expect one. He paused slightly, then sneered, "Mr. Chu, I'm truly curious, what exactly did you do to me this afternoon? Can you give me an answer now?"

Chu Ge smiled faintly, "If I told you I used a demon technique, would you believe me?"

"A demon technique?"

Watanabe Shinji's expression froze, frowning as he repeated the words, staring at Chu Ge for a few seconds before suddenly snorting coldly, raising his wrist to aim the gun at Chu Ge's head.

"If I told you I could blow your head off with one shot, would you believe me?"

Watanabe Shinji dismissed "demon technique" with derision, convinced that Chu Ge must have used some potion or gadget, hence his current confidence.

After all, with a certain distance between them, Chu Ge's every move was within Watanabe Shinji's sight; he could react immediately to any slight move Chu Ge might make.

Watanabe Shinji's abrupt lifting of the gun sent a wave of tension through the room's occupants, especially the Qin sisters. Qin Ruoying instinctively cried out, while Qin Ruojing stood up instantly, positioning herself in front of Chu Ge.

Chu Ge was originally quite calm, but when Qin Ruojing shielded him behind her, his heart instantly jumped to his throat, fearing Watanabe Shinji might suddenly shoot. He immediately stood up, placed a hand on Qin Ruojing's shoulder, swiveled his body, and turned to stand in front of her.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect it. Whether this young lady is Qin Ruojing or Qin Ruoying, she's truly deeply affectionate towards Mr. Chu."

The thing Chu Ge feared the most did not happen. Watanabe Shinji's emotions seemed relatively stable, exhibiting a somewhat neurotic glee and pride, with the corners of his mouth curling into an upward arc as he let out a sinister laugh.

After a few eerie laughs, Watanabe Shinji shifted the gun's aim to the other side toward Qin Ruoying. Tilting his chin up, he looked at Chu Ge with interest, saying, "Mr. Chu, if you don't tell me the truth, then... I think it might be more fitting to blow the heads off these two Miss Qin first?"

Chu Ge silently cursed, his expression turning cold. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Su Yuanzhou, internally urging, "Big brother, can you do it or not? So much time has passed, yet you haven't hypnotized Watanabe Shinji? Must there be casualties before you take action?"

"What do you want to hear? I can tell you, but before that, you better move the gun away from her. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise? Do you think there's any 'otherwise' we can discuss here? That word is utterly laughable!" Watanabe Shinji interrupted with a cold laugh before Chu Ge could finish.

At this point, Watanabe Shinji truly had nothing to fear. If he hadn't encountered Chu Ge and his group, he would still be like a startled bird, trying every means to escape, prioritizing his survival above all. But now, he no longer thought that way.

Aided by alcohol and driven by hatred, Watanabe Shinji just wanted to kill these people. After all... now both the police and the Qinghong Association were after him, and his chances of successfully escaping were slim to none. Rather than rot in jail or die in a bloody shootout, it seemed better to have one moment of satisfaction. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" A few shots fired, and he might as well save a bullet for himself in the end.

Harboring such a desperate, no-way-out mindset, Watanabe Shinji didn't mind playing with these Hua Country people a little longer. After all, he held the upper hand. If he didn't enjoy this process and watch the changes in their expressions, it would truly be a pity for his final performance in this life.

Hmm, perhaps it's time to fire a shot. Who should I start with?

Watanabe Shinji licked his lips. His right hand slowly moved with his gaze, pointing the handgun, with the safety already off, at Qin Ruoying for a few seconds before gradually turning toward Su Xiao.

Since all the misfortune began with this girl, let's end her life first.

Watanabe Shinji hiccuped, placed his finger on the trigger. However, just as he was about to pull it, he suddenly felt a "buzz" in his head. Under the unanticipated, intense sensation of dizziness, his finger's motion was momentarily halted.

Chu Ge kept his eyes fixed on Watanabe Shinji. The instant he saw his motion falter, Chu Ge swiftly grabbed a plate and hurled it toward Watanabe Shinji's wrist.

The plate accurately struck Watanabe Shinji's wrist.

"Clatter"

"Thud"

The plate Chu Ge threw and the gun originally in Watanabe Shinji's hand both fell to the ground in succession. Watanabe Shinji's pupils contracted, and he immediately bent over, reaching out in an attempt to pick up the gun.

Unfortunately, even though Watanabe Shinji's movements weren't slow, Chu Ge gave him no chance. As he threw the first plate, he grabbed a bowl and unhesitatingly hurled it again.

This bowl originally seemed to be thrown toward empty space, but as the bowl flew out, Watanabe Shinji's hand reached out, making it seem as if he intentionally aimed for where the bowl was going to land.

Of course, Chu Ge didn't throw randomly but based on predicting Watanabe Shinji's reach time and the distance between them.

After the plate, this time, the bowl also precisely hit Watanabe Shinji's wrist, diverting his right hand as he attempted to pick up the gun, making him grab nothing but air.

Watanabe Shinji still wanted to pick up the gun, but would Chu Ge give him the chance? Definitely not!

While throwing the bowl, Chu Ge also charged toward Watanabe Shinji. In a flash, he kicked the gun aside. Then, amidst the look of hatred and frustration in Watanabe Shinji's eyes, he grabbed his throat and slammed him against the wall.

From the moment Watanabe Shinji aimed the gun at Su Xiao to Chu Ge leaping up from the table to grab his throat, only a few seconds had passed. But for Watanabe Shinji, it was a transition from heaven to hell.

Grasping Watanabe Shinji's throat, Chu Ge indeed felt an urge to simply twist his neck. The situation just now was truly dire.

However, thinking it through, Chu Ge ultimately took a deep breath, suppressing that impulse.

Rather than breaking his neck, there were obviously better ways to handle this situation now.
