Chapter 1403: Chapter 1388: The Mantis and the Oriole

How could a Dongyang person be so invested in Huaxia’s antique artifacts and archaeology? It’s bizarre that he wants to intervene in every ancient tomb.

Huo Sining always felt that Fujiwara Seiho’s string of actions seed to be driven by so ulterior motive!

What exactly is he searching for?

Suddenly, Huo Sining recalled the Mysterious Iron Box she found on the Awa Maru. She hadn’t opened it and didn’t know what was inside because she wasn’t interested, so she casually threw it into her Storage Space and never bothered to take a look.

Now, seeing Fujiwara Seiho, Huo Sining suddenly realized that the box was extraordinary, probably not as simple as she had thought.

There were a few people behind Fujiwara Seiho, including Etsuko Misaki and Oil Rat, but what surprised Huo Sining the most was the man standing next to Oil Rat.

Yes, this man too was an old acquaintance of Huo Sining, Liang Ruicheng, Liang Pengzhi’s son, who was one of the culprits that drove Liang Ruining and his mother to leave the Liang Family with nothing, establishing a separate household.

Huo Sining couldn’t fathom why Liang Ruicheng had co here and even got involved with Fujiwara Seiho.

Among the eight intruders in the Underground Palace, aside from the man holding a gun to Mr. Liang who seed to be a bodyguard and thug raised by Fujiwara Seiho, Huo Sining recognized the other seven.

Huo Sining was full of questions, completely baffled about what was happening and what in this ancient tomb was worth all these people traveling such a long way.

"Mr. Python, given the current disparity in strength, I suggest you be sensible. If you hand over what’s in your possession obediently, I might spare your life. But if you insist on resisting, I can’t guarantee that my gun won’t accidentally fire!"

Seeing no response from Mr. Huang and Miss Yue’s side, Fujiwara Seiho naturally assud they agreed with him, and he coldly sneered, issuing a final ultimatum to Mr. Liang, who was lying on the ground coughing up blood.

Huo Sining was stunned upon hearing this and quickly looked towards where her father was.

What she saw shocked her.

The sarcophagus, which Professor Xie had insisted should only be opened after receiving a formal notice, had been pried open at so point, and its lid was pushed halfway off!

Huo Sining couldn’t see what was inside the sarcophagus, but Mr. Liang, who was panting against it, had one hand pressed on his chest wound and the other tightly protecting a backpack beneath him.

Evidently, what was inside Mr. Liang’s backpack must have been taken from the sarcophagus, and that was exactly what Fujiwara Seiho was after!

Huo Sining had no ti to think; upon hearing Fujiwara Seiho’s threat, Mr. Liang’s throat suddenly moved, and he let out a ghastly laugh.

Mr. Liang’s voice was already problematic, and the sudden, strange laughter in the dimly lit tomb sent chills down everyone’s spines, as if an eerie aura was rising, causing everyone to get goosebumps unconsciously, with even soone like Oil Rat showing frightened and horrified expressions in his eyes.

Fujiwara Seiho’s expression also slightly changed, as he had already witnessed Mr. Python’s skills and knew this person wasn’t easy to deal with. Despite being shot, this person still made Fujiwara Seiho wary.

"Mr. Fujiwara, what are you waiting for? We have more people and guns. If soft thods don’t work, we should just take it by force!"

Liang Ruicheng hadn’t recognized that Mr. Python was Mr. Liang, but he was evidently also interested in what was in Mr. Liang’s hands, his eyes brimming with greed.

However, he had the sense to know he wouldn’t be a match for soone like Mr. Liang, so he hid behind Fujiwara Seiho and Oil Rat, growing impatient as Fujiwara Seiho kept confronting the three without taking action, and urgently shouted out.

Fujiwara Seiho, hearing this, seed moved and gestured towards the bodyguard at his side and glanced at the silent Etsuko Misaki. Almost instantly, Etsuko Misaki pulled out a standard-issue handgun from her pocket on one side.

In a fraction of a second, Miss Yue and Mr. Huang, with incredible speed, each grabbed one of Mr. Liang’s arms and pulled him aside.

As the three dodged, the guns held by Etsuko Misaki and the bodyguard were already firing, and the three huddled behind the sarcophagus, not daring to move.

"Hmph!" No matter how skilled one is, they can’t beat a gun. By now, Fujiwara Seiho considered the three as good as dead, slowly advancing towards the sarcophagus.

"Aren’t you coming out? Planning to collect our bodies later? Since you’re here, why just stand and watch?!"

While Etsuko Misaki and the bodyguard were advancing, suddenly a furious voice from Miss Yue ca from behind the sarcophagus.

Fujiwara Seiho was stunned, instinctively scanning the tomb area, even Etsuko Misaki and the bodyguard were searching around with their guns, but the main burial chamber was empty, with no obstructions. If soone were present, they wouldn’t have gone unnoticed.

Not seeing the person Miss Yue ntioned, Fujiwara Seiho assud she was just buying ti, coldly sneered, and said to Etsuko Misaki, "Continue!"

The bodyguard, hearing this, continued moving closer to the three without further thought, but in an instant, sounds of sizzling were heard, and the bodyguard convulsed a few tis, then fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, slipping into unconsciousness, even dropping his gun next to the sarcophagus.

Etsuko Misaki was startled, instinctively looked towards the bodyguard’s direction, trying to aim her gun at the void and pull the trigger.

But no matter how quick her reaction was, it couldn’t match Huo Sining’s speed.

As Etsuko Misaki aid her gun at her, Huo Sining acted first; her electric baton pressed against Etsuko Misaki’s waist, and with the flip of a switch, within a few seconds, Fujiwara Seiho’s second helper had fallen.

Seeing both his underlings inexplicably collapse, Fujiwara Seiho’s heart sank, realizing sothing was wrong, he imdiately prepared to escape.

But how could Huo Sining let him flee? Picking up the gun Etsuko Misaki had dropped, without hesitation, Huo Sining aid in Fujiwara Seiho’s direction and pulled the trigger.
