Chapter 171: Interception (61k)
Yokosuka Base.
An aircraft carrier slowly approached the shore.
Jamie Walton came down from the aircraft carrier, with his older brother Caden on his left and right, and the white-haired old man in the middle who looked quite energetic was their grandfather, Sam Walton.
The current actual controller of the Walton family.
Commander Richie and two senior officers greeted them.
"Mr. Sam, it's been many years since we last met."
"Oh, Ricky, you are now a lieutenant general. Look, I said that as long as you change your original personality, you can still be outstanding. Sure enough, you are even more outstanding than your father now." Sam greeted with a smile.
"It's our honor that Mr. Sam still remembers my father." Ricky was very humble.
"He is a hero worthy of respect. How could I forget him? Come, Kaiden, this is your Uncle Ricky, the current commander of the garrison in Japan. His father was an old friend of mine. Your father and Ricky were also very good friends."
The two shook hands and greeted each other.
"This is Jamie. I'm sure you guys know him, so I don't need to introduce him to you."
"I cooperated with Captain Jamie on some operations when he was in Japan some time ago. I was deeply impressed." Ricky spoke sincerely.
Jamie knew him and had met him before, and his impression of him was that he was not a special general.
After a brief conversation, Richie also had to greet other important figures who came with the aircraft carrier. It was not only the Walton family who came with the aircraft carrier.
The military will not increase their close protection, but will simply raise the alert level and be ready to attack at any time.
They will have to arrange their own security.
The unpleasant truth is that they don't even trust the military.
"Grandfather, I have already booked a room at the Hananishiki Hotel's Chiyoda District headquarters. Should we go there now or..."
Kaiden asked.
"Is this the hotel where the Holy Infant Society is located?"
Sam has seen a lot of ups and downs at his age, but at this moment, he couldn't help but get excited and asked questions that he already knew the answers to.
This is the temptation of returning to youth. People who have not experienced old age and physical decline, and the despair of watching the scythe of death gradually approach, cannot understand it.
"Yes, the Holy Child is also sleeping in that hotel," Kaiden added.
All the rooms open to the public in the hotel were originally occupied, and the Walton family itself occupied two rooms, so it would not be difficult to get another one.
They don't need a group of bodyguards like others. Jamie is responsible for their safety alone, which is more reliable than dozens of bodyguards.
The commander-in-chief originally didn't want Jamie to come. He wanted Jamie to go to Maple Country to conduct an in-depth investigation of the wolf pack and test their strength.
But considering that Jamie's grandfather was among the candidates, the chaebols also strongly demanded that at least one extraordinary person from the Amei side should guard Tokyo during the bestowal of the elixir ceremony to prevent scoundrels.
In addition, Jamie is still nominally a member of the Holy Infant Society, so he should participate in activities such as the bestowal of the elixir ceremony.
After comprehensive consideration, the commander-in-chief had no choice but to compromise.
At the naval base, Jamie put away his knight's lance and got into the car arranged by his family. The convoy of black cars drove towards the hotel.
"Do you think those people will do something desperate?" Kaiden took the initiative to talk about the topic.
"I haven't participated in family affairs for a long time...Are they so disobedient now?" Jamie told the truth.
"Generally speaking, no one dares, but who can resist the temptation of the Holy Son Pill?" Kaiden sighed.
"Haha, we have already arranged a disguise. If something goes wrong, we will have an excuse to attack them directly without any consequences... Kaiden, don't worry. After your father, it will naturally be your turn."
Sam is very confident that in this world, the strong will become stronger.
Even if a weak person accidentally obtains this power, it is difficult for him to expand it into the power of the family.
Their Walton family has Jamie, a formal extraordinary person, as a foundation. Even if Sam does not awaken his extraordinary power this time and only has ordinary life extension, he can always maintain the first echelon.
"Thank you, Grandpa. I think it's better to let my mother go before me." Kaiden was not in a hurry and behaved quite filially.
Jamie said nothing.
He did not agree with his grandfather's way of thinking.
It is unknown how long the cooperation between the Holy Infant Society and them can last. Even if the Holy Infant suddenly said today that the gift of the elixir was cancelled, they would not dare to express dissatisfaction.
Moreover, he had experienced the bestowal of the elixir and felt the gaze of the Holy Infant.
They were not taken seriously at all, as if their lives would disappear like smoke and dust if they were just a snap of a finger.
Sooner or later, the gift of the Holy Child will have to be paid for.
He believes that everyone understands this principle.
It’s just that the immediate benefits are so tempting that these old men who have been fighting in the business world for half their lives are willing to temporarily put aside all consequences and ignore risks.
The scenery passed by the window quickly. The convoy did not encounter any accidents along the way and entered the hotel smoothly.
Within today, nine important figures who have the right to be granted elixirs will arrive one after another.
They will stay here until Christmas Eve, when the blood-melting ceremony, which is the prelude to the bestowal of the elixir, will be carried out. Each person who takes the elixir will need to draw a tube of blood on the spot during the ceremony.
The winery refused entry to non-believers before the ceremony began. There were residences a little further away, but they were too remote and lacked security.
The main branch of Huajin Hotel is the headquarters of the Holy Infant Society. Even if someone wants to murder them, they would never dare to cause trouble here and disrespect the Holy Infant Society.
So if someone wants to take action, there are only three chances.
On the way to Japan, on the way to the hotel, and on the way to the winery.
In the hotel, the nine of them would not meet each other, and they tried their best to make sure that no one knew which room they were in.
They may not know the saying "a journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step", but they understand similar principles.
It was a bit troublesome, but they didn't dare disobey, and they didn't think they couldn't even ensure the safety of such a short distance.
"Today is the 22nd. I will be here in the lobby most of the time for the next two days. If there is any emergency, press the emergency button." Jamie did not go into the elevator with them.
"Yeah, that's right. No matter what, we have to give them some protection on the surface." Sam smiled and patted Jamie's shoulder.
Jamie didn’t refute, but just looked at Kayden: “Kayden, take good care of grandpa.”
"Don't worry, I will."
After watching the two people enter the elevator, Jamie turned and walked towards the sofas. Most of the people who were originally sitting there stood up reflexively and vacated their seats. The scene suddenly seemed somewhat spectacular.
"."
Jamie chose a seat that was already empty and sat down.
Seeing this, the others followed suit and sat down halfway.
"Captain Jamie's reputation is truly great."
A man about Jamie's age sat next to him without any restraint, and even spoke with a teasing tone.
"Kurt, you coming with your father?"
Jamie knew him. He was a friend who was a level higher than his former friends and a rising star in the Bush family.
Kurt shook his head, a smile on his face.
".The quota is yours? It seems that the list is not entirely true." Jamie reacted quickly.
"Wow, although this may not sound good, I still want to say that you are a lot smarter than before." Khloe didn't know if this was a compliment.
Jamie actually likes this kind of interaction: "So I guess you plan to run for president? Your age doesn't seem to convince everyone."
"That's why we need extraordinary help." Kohler's expression became serious.
"You should know the probability of awakening."
"Of course I know, but nothing is 100% certain. The Bush family is willing to take a gamble, and I also want to be a superhero for once."
Jamie didn't know how much of his words were true or false. After all, he was a politician from a political family. He would not be surprised if only the punctuation marks in a sentence were true.
The two didn't talk in depth. After chatting about past embarrassing moments, Khloe said goodbye and left.
Jamie never expected that he would receive the news of his death just two days later.
December 12. The blood melting ceremony is only available from 24am to pm today. No one after that time will be accepted.
Jamie planned to go over at half past eleven.
However, at just eight o'clock in the morning, shocking news came.
A convoy was destroyed by a mysterious supernatural being on the road, and no one survived.
In the end, the army sent people to confirm the identity of the deceased.
It was Kohler Bush.
All of a sudden, the other big shots became a little restless.
Where did this extraordinary person come from? !
Why deal with them?
According to the theory that whoever benefits is the mastermind, they first suspected the Japanese officials.
The Prime Minister was so frightened that he quickly stated that all the extraordinary people from the Special Affairs Bureau were already waiting at the winery. They were also members of the Holy Infant Society and would never do such a thing.
"This is video footage sent by the military."
Jamie took it and looked at it carefully. He saw a man wearing a smiling mask and dressed very tightly jumping from the roadside to the road. Then he lifted up a large piece of road with his bare hands and smashed the leading car.
While the following vehicles were in chaos, he had a clear goal. He tore open the vehicles one by one and killed the survivors inside one by one.
Neat.
"And Mr. Rockefeller, who was driving a helicopter, was also shot down." Cayden was a little nervous.
"This guy is very familiar with our deployment. I don't even know when those people set out, but he knows exactly what they are doing."
Jamie feels there is a traitor within.
"Should we change our departure time?"
"Change the plan to leave immediately. Kaiden, you stay here and I'll fly over with grandfather." This was the safest way he could think of.
Kaiden shook his head: "I'm afraid my grandfather's health can't handle it."
Jamie knew that his grandfather had been ill for the past two days, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
"Then why not use a helicopter? I'll drive him there." Jamie gave up the idea of using a helicopter. He felt that this thing would not be safe at all against the extraordinary.
Kaiden thought about it and agreed with the decision.
After some preparation, the two placed Sam, who seemed to be sleeping, in the passenger seat.
"Grandfather is a little confused. He has taken medicine, but refuses to see a private doctor. He thinks someone is trying to harm him." Caiden sighed.
Jamie was not surprised. His grandfather's personality had changed a lot over the years. When he was not feeling well before, he thought someone in the family wanted to harm him, so he moved out. Later, it was Caden who took time out of his busy schedule to take care of him the most, so he brought Caden with him this time.
"After we get to the winery, I'll advise him to see a doctor."
Jamie motioned to Cayden to be assured.
"Jamie."
"Ok?"
"Father hopes to get your help."
"What do you mean?"
"You will understand. Take grandfather there first."
Jamie looked at Caden strangely, and then followed one or two cars that set off every now and then, heading for the winery.
After watching the car leave and no longer being seen, Kaiden took out his phone.
"Father. Well, Jamie has been eaten. Now take him to the winery."
Ten minutes later, in the car, Jamie was paying full attention, paying attention to everything.
".Kayden."
He heard his grandfather making an indistinct sound nearby.
“Grandfather, I’ll take you to the winery now, don’t worry.”
"No Caden."
Sam stretched out his trembling hand and placed it on Jamie's arm, his weak eyes cloudy: "Don't believe Caiden, I was deceived."
Jamie's heart sank.
What does this mean?
He remembered the confusing words Kaiden had said to him before they set out, and gradually began to understand.
Looking at his dying grandfather again, the clues began to connect.
"Caden poisoned?" Jamie asked tentatively.
".They want me to die on the road——"
Before he could finish his words, Jamie saw a figure approaching and immediately braked and turned the steering wheel.
boom!
An unlucky car behind was directly flattened.
It's the masked man.
With a quick glance, Jamie confirmed the other person's identity.
The car spun and stopped, and Jamie got out immediately. He activated the Blood Burning Technique and confronted the masked man head-on.
So strong!
With just one blow, Jamie was knocked away without any resistance and rolled on the ground for dozens of meters.
This kind of power is at least at the level of Nakai Hayabusa.
The masked man walked to the car where Sam was, tore open the door, and pulled Sam out without even the strength to struggle.
"You used to be so high and mighty." The masked man stroked Sam's face, and his voice was very gentle after being changed.
"You, you are--" Sam's eyes widened instantly. He never thought it would be him.
The masked man was not interested in listening to his last words, nor did he want to waste time, so he simply twisted him into pieces like a twist, staining his body with blood.
boom!
Sparks flew from the masked man's mask, leaving a shallow dent.
"What kind of material is this mask made of?" Toyokawa Kamikiyo, who arrived at some point, made a lip-syncing expression. It was the first time he saw a mask that even a heavy sniper couldn't penetrate.
"It's not a mask. It's his face."
The wounded Jamie flew back and stared at the masked man.
He didn't have a very close relationship with his grandfather, but he couldn't tolerate such a thing happening in front of him.
"Have you, the Special Affairs Bureau, really decided to get involved?"
The masked man threw down the body parts in his hand and asked calmly.
".This is our territory, you are breaking the law." From another direction, Takashima and Nishikido Jun also rushed over.
"Sorry, your laws don't apply to me."
The masked man was not panicked when facing the encirclement of several extraordinary people. He knew the strength of these people too well and even knew the data of each item.
To him, there was almost no threat.
However, it's still early and those big shots are still hiding in the hotel and dare not come out, so let's warm up.
A circle of smoke and dust is stirring!
The masked man instantly appeared in front of Takashima.
The latter only had time to put the shield in front of him.
thump—
The special super alloy shield suddenly bent at an angle from the impact position, and Takashima and the shield inserted into the ground were blasted back a long distance, plowing deep marks on the ground.
"Section Chief, we probably can't handle this guy."
Takashima, with a pale face and trembling hands, reported bitterly.
