Lu Bozhe also expressed his dissatisfaction.
Hai Daoyou's face was ashen. He shook his head and said to Lü Bozhe:
"Xiao Zhe, don't underestimate him. His speed is astonishing. Even if the three of you join forces, you won't be a match for him. Once the battle begins, although we may ultimately win, who will survive is an unknown."
“We can take this kind of risk,” Hai Daoyou continued.
He looked at his two other subordinates.
“I originally planned to investigate his background first, but he is too smart, so we have to give up for now. Once your injuries have healed, you and Mei Chuan Kudou can go together to investigate where Chang Wei’s base is.”
"If they are much stronger than us, we will give up for the time being; if they are weaker than us, we will directly annex them and strengthen our own power."
"Island You instructed."
"Fine, I don't like that guy either. Once we take over his territory, I'm going to give him a good beating!" Lu Bozhe said through gritted teeth.
Kenjiro Shima hesitated, then looked at Yuujima and said, "Brother Hai, what about Nakano Tensei..."
"Hmph, he's all alone now, nobody listens to him. Don't worry about him!"
Shima Yu snorted coldly, speaking with utter disdain. However, remembering the other party's former power, Shima Yu added:
“I will strengthen my surveillance of Nakano Tensei, so you don’t need to worry. If he dares to make any rash moves, I will not let him off easily.”
Shima Kenjin and Umekawa Kudou exchanged a glance and nodded helplessly.
They knew a little about Nakano Tensei's methods and had long wanted to eliminate him, but Shima Yu had never allowed it.
"Alright, you may all leave now. You've all had a hard day, go and get some rest."
"Island Island waved goodbye."
The crowd agreed and departed.
Chang Wei listened quietly to the conversation below from the rooftop, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Hai Daoyou clapped his hands lightly, and a beautiful woman walked out gracefully, naked with a curvaceous figure. She smiled sweetly at Hai Daoyou and then bent down to soothe his fatigue.
After a period of pleasure, Hai Daoyou got dressed and went to the next room.
A slightly dejected middle-aged man was sitting leisurely in the courtyard, sipping tea, seemingly unaware of Hai Daoyou's arrival.
"Haha, Nakano-kun, you're really living a carefree life!"
Hai Daoyou walked into the courtyard with a smile, his face regaining its usual amiable appearance.
"Oh, it's you, Yu-kun. Please have a seat." Nakano Tensei looked up, his face beaming. "What brings you here?"
This elderly man was once a business tycoon who dominated Tokyo and controlled hundreds of billions of yen.
Now he has transformed into a simple farmer, dressed plainly, and is no longer admired by the public.
However, there was no resentment on his face; instead, he greeted Shima Yu with a beaming smile.
Yuu Shima sat opposite Nakano Tensei, picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Sometimes I really envy your carefree life. I wonder when I can be like you."
"Haha, You're joking, Yu-jun. You have a heavy burden on your shoulders; how can you put it down so easily?"
Nakano Tianheng smiled.
The two began to chat casually, their conversation lacking in depth but possessing a unique charm.
263. Recruiting Nakano Tensei
After some conversation, Hai Daoyou suddenly rolled his eyes and said mysteriously:
"Old man, you probably don't know this, but this time I led a group of people out to find some food for everyone. We finally found some, but another group snatched it all away."
"They outnumbered us and had the upper hand. We could only watch helplessly as tens of thousands of kilograms of grain fell into the hands of those thugs. We, who are dedicated to serving the people, are truly pitiful!"
Chang Wei listened to Hai Daoyou's distorted and unfounded remarks from the shadows, and was speechless.
This guy is a born actor; he's a master of changing his tune depending on the situation, saying one thing to one person and another to another.
Nakano Tensei, this cunning old fox in the business world, showed no emotion on his face, but also revealed indignation:
"What?! Even the food you found for everyone was stolen?! Who are these people? How could they be so utterly depraved?!"
Island Yu shook his head, feigning seriousness: "I don't know their background either, but I'll send someone to investigate."
"By the way, old man, what do you think about this?" Hai Daoyou asked tentatively.
Chang Wei chuckled inwardly from the shadows; the real show was about to begin.
He didn't believe that Shima Yu was really there to complain; he probably wanted to test Nakano Tensei's attitude.
Nakano Tensei chuckled and said:
"Brother, I'm getting old now, and my energy isn't what it used to be. I'm not as capable of thinking things through as I used to be. You can handle this kind of thing yourself; I have no objections. I believe you can definitely manage this!"
As he spoke, Nakano Tensei actually yawned, as if drowsiness was creeping in.
Upon seeing this, Hai Daoyou's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
After Yuu Shima left, Tensei Nakano suddenly spoke up: "Friend, you can come out now."
Chang Wei hesitated for a moment in the shadows, then revealed himself.
He looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Nakano Tensei!"
"It seems you're not one of Shima Yu's people," Nakano Tensei said calmly. "So, what brings you here?"
"I never expected that such a powerful evolved being would risk venturing into this place for a certain goal!"
"I suspect this matter might be related to Shima Yu. Could it be that you intend to deal with him?"
A hint of a smile flashed in Nakano Tensei's eyes. He stared at Chang Wei, his attitude becoming serious. His previous nonchalance had vanished without a trace, replaced by a sharp, eagle-like gaze.
"Haha, Mr. Nakano truly lives up to his reputation; he is indeed a former tycoon of Tokyo."
Chang Wei nodded approvingly, then changed the subject, "However, I did not come here specifically to deal with Hai Daoyou. I could easily subdue someone like Hai Daoyou with one hand, and it would be useless even if he had evolved beings protecting him."
"Oh? Then why is that?"
Nakano Tengen couldn't help but frown with curiosity, but he believed Chang Wei's words without a doubt. After all, someone who could deceive so many evolved beings here must be a force to be reckoned with.
"It's for your granddaughter—Nakano Miki," Chang Wei said calmly.
"What? My granddaughter!" Nakano Tensei's expression changed drastically, his voice revealing undisguised anxiety.
"I rescued her, and she is now traveling with me. Because her strength is ordinary, I did not dare to let her come along."
Chang Wei explained calmly.
"She's still alive... It's good that she's alive, it's good that she's alive..." Nakano Tensei murmured to himself, a relieved smile finally appearing on his face.
"So, what do you want me to do for you?"
Nakano Tensei raised his head, looked directly into Chang Wei's eyes, and asked calmly.
As a shrewd businessman, he knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
Since Chang Wei had revealed this information to him, he must have some ulterior motive. He was eager to know what this seemingly unfathomable young man wanted him to do.
A glint of light flashed in Chang Wei's eyes as he said, word by word, "I hope you can lead everyone here to submit to me."
A brilliant light suddenly flashed in Nakano Ten's eyes. He stared intently at Chang Wei, seemingly surprised that the other party had such a large appetite, wanting to take over the entire force.
"Young man, aren't you afraid of bursting your stomach with such gluttony?"
Nakano Tensei looked at Chang Wei, raised an eyebrow slightly, and asked softly.
Chang Wei smiled dismissively and replied, "Their stomachs are small, so naturally they can't hold it all. But I'm different; my belly is quite large."
Nakano Tensei shook his head, a look of confusion on his face:
"Where does your confidence come from? Is it based on your abilities?"
Upon hearing this, Chang Wei smiled slightly, a sly glint in his eyes:
"You ask me if I can withstand these dozens of grenades? If I can, then pretend I never said anything before?"
Nakano Tensei took a deep breath and gave a wry smile:
"Since you say so, I'll believe you this once... However, I'm very curious, what kind of ability do you have that makes you dare to challenge a figure as influential as me?"
Upon hearing this, Chang Wei laughed heartily, his eyes gleaming with curiosity:
"I'd like to ask you the same thing: how did you, such a prominent figure, end up in such a state that even someone you once looked down on can trample on you?"
Upon hearing this, Nakano Tensei's face flashed with bitterness, and he sighed:
"Alas, this is all my own doing. When the apocalypse came, I reacted quickly, gathered a group of people, and formed a force. That guy from the island was also one of my subordinates, and I even emptied my pockets to arm them. I thought I could stand firm in this chaotic world, but the appearance of the evolved beings disrupted my plans."
"That islander is very cunning. He won over those evolved beings, and gradually, their power grew stronger and stronger. As for me, I was slow to realize it, and by the time I found out, it was too late."
"During one of my battles, Yuu Shima, along with his evolved beings and subordinates, subdued all of my people. Although they dared not touch me, my status has declined significantly."
After listening to Nakano Tensei's account, Chang Wei couldn't help but sigh at the cruelty and ruthlessness of this apocalypse.
He looked at Nakano Tensei, a hint of sympathy and pity flashing in his eyes, but more so a sense of determination and resolve.
He knew that in this apocalypse, to survive, one needed sufficient strength and wisdom.
Nakano Tensei's fate was full of twists and turns. Due to unforeseen circumstances, he lost power and was actually imprisoned here.
