The Nakamura Family Residence.
It only took about 20 minutes for Andrew to arrive at the Nakamura Family residence. Since taking off from the military hospital, one of his men had already informed him that the chief servant of the Nakamura Family had only given Andrew permission to enter their territory, other than Andrew, anyone who passed through the main gate would be stopped by the Nakamura Family special forces indiscriminately.
Actually it was quite strange considering Keiko who had three symbols and coordinate points for the clues sought. It has absolutely nothing to do with those things. Then, why would anyone who was behind all this insist that he enter the Nakamura Family residence? Unless that fellow had other cunning plans, this whole thing looked a little unreasonable.
While getting off the helicopter, Andrew took his cell phone and contacted Kim. Once the phone connection was connected, he immediately searched the men with orders and warnings.
“Kim, double defense in hospital. Do not allow strangers to enter, especially those without identification. Even great generals, no one can enter without my permission. Understand?”
“Understanding, Captain!” answer Kim with great respect, “I will run alpha protocol now.”
“Good. Keep me informed of developments there.”
“Ready, Captain!”
After disconnecting the phone, Andrew approached one of his men and asked, “Where is the butler?”
“Silver-haired man standing on the right side of the gate, Captain.”
Andrew nodded in understanding. He then told the team leaders who lined up neatly near the main gate, “No one acts before there are instructions from me. Understand?”
“Ready, Captain!”
After sighing deeply, Andrew walked towards the main gate of the Nakamura Family. This time he couldn't come back for Keiko. Clark and Leon must be hoping and waiting in there. Whether what kind of torture they had experienced, he could not think about it.
“Good morning, Sir. I'm Andrew Roux,” Andrew said as he thrust his identity card through an iron fence to the only silver-haired man standing behind the main gate.
Andrew estimated his age might be around in his late 50s, but the man still looked dashing and dignified. The look on his face is completely Japanese, but his posture is higher than that of the average Asian. At first glance Andrew also found that the iris of the man was bright blue. Judging from that, it could be that the butler is a descendant of mix Japanese and European or American.
After carefully examining Andrew's identification card and matching it with his real face, the butler gave a brief nod to the doorman.
“Let Mr.Roux come in,” said the old man.
Two doormen gave Andrew access without saying a word. Andrew entered quietly and bowed to the butler for a glance, but the old man immediately turned his back and walked towards the black sedan parked near the gate.
The corners of Andrew's lips lifted into a thin grin. It was only fitting that the old man made his men tremble, his aura more resembling that of a nobleman than that of a floater's head.
They stopped for a while in front of a bodyguard holding a metal detector. The man brought a remote-controlled device close to Andrew's body and scanned it quickly. Afterwards he told the butler that Andrew did not carry a gun.
“Please enter, Mr.Roux. The journey to the main residence is quite long,” said the butler as he gestured for Andrew to get into the car.
“Simply, no tricks and tricks,” the old man continued. He went in and sat down next to the driver.
Andrew watched his watch and got into the car without saying anything. The distance from the gate to the main residence is indeed quite far. If you walk, it will probably take about half an hour. All the way from the end of the gate to the front entrance of the main residence was filled with armed forces on full alert. They were almost as numerous as the EEL army across the gate.
“We have arrived, Mr.Roux,” said the butler as the car stopped at the doorstep of the Nakamura Family residence. The old man got out and stood at the side of the car and coded one of the guards to open the car door for Andrew.
“Please, Sir,” said the guard after opening the car door and stepping aside.
“Thank you,” replied Andrew while getting out of the car and following the butler who had already walked towards the entrance.
The old man walked into the magnificent castle of one of the strongest dynasties in Japan. He leads Andrew to the second floor, past the place Clark and Leon had been before.
A faint smile appeared on Andrew's face. Those people, did they not know that he could not willingly enter the enemy cage without carrying a weapon at all? Or they were so confident that Andrew would turn himself in easily. So ridiculous.
As usual, Andrew took note of every detail of the building and the guards that stood guard at every entrance and hallway. Although the troops along the way to the main building and inside the castle were quite numerous, Andrew was quite confident the troops led by him could match the strength of his enemy.
He slowed his pace as the butler, about four steps ahead of him, turned and stopped a door with a dragon engraving in front of him. The silver-haired man once again invited Andrew into the room.
“I can only take you here, Mr. Roux. Please ...,” said the man while bowing politely.
At first glance, Andrew was still able to catch the look in the man's eyes that contained a sort of aura full of veiled hostility, also resembling the complacency of a predator that managed to trap its prey. Instinct in Andrew's head set off a danger alarm.
With a smile, Andrew bowed and replied to the butler's pleasant words, then walked into the classic Japanese room. He did not look back when the sound of a closed door was heard from behind his body.
Carefully Andrew walked forward, vigilantly watching the indoor situation. There was a set of zabutons by the fireplace, as well as a teapot and two glasses on the table. The smell of jasmine tea poured out in the room, mixed with the scent of ancient books lined up on wooden shelves near the walls. Overall, nothing strange. However, the silence in the room made the air seem to shrink from the lungs, making people feel uncomfortable because of the feeling of tightness.
“Halo?”
Andrew waited for a while, but only his voice resonated in the room. Next there is silence.
“Young Master Nakamura? Or should I call Miss Nakamura?”
Andrew sculpting. There was still no answer, making the danger signal clang even louder in Andrew's head. He quickly pulled out a mobile phone to contact the head of his squad, but only the voice of the operator was heard repeatedly saying that the network was not available.
Andrew squinting. That means there's a signal-blocking device in this residence. However, just as he had thought before, he had instead entered the place without any preparation at all. With a very careful movement, Andrew touched the surface of his tie clip. There was a small circle resembling a gemstone on that thing.
In a split second, the artificial gem emits a wave of signals to one of EEL's communications satellites, activating Garry's pre-arranged two-way communication system.
“People this place, don't let a single person escape!” his orders were once all communication channels were back online.
These people want to play around with him, then .. let's play ....
