Teng Lin Zhengzhe’sst glimmer of hope rested on the possibility that Tenglin Quintongtian’s silence was due to him either following Charlie or being engaged in a fierce conflict with him.


    Ultimately, as long as he was alive, there was a chance.


    The second brother swiftly picked up his phone and dialed Tenglin Quintongtian’s number.


    However, a series of notifications popped up on the screen, indicating that the call could not connect due to ack of signal.


    A wave of cold sweat broke out on the second brother.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He quickly turned to Teng Lin Zhengzhe and said, “Brother, I can’t reach Quintongtian…”<fn22fd> Content originallyes from FindN()vel</fn22fd>


    “What?!” Teng Lin Zhengzhe immediately stood up, eximing, “Quintongtian’s phone is usually on standby, so why can’t I connect now?”


    The third brother, clearly distressed, eximed, “Brother, do you think Quintongtian has had an ident?”


    The second brother replied with certainty, “There has to be a serious issue! Otherwise, Quintongtian wouldn’t be behaving this way!”


    He then looked at Teng Lin Zhengzhe and insisted, “Brother, we need to find him!”


    “Find him?” Teng Lin Zhengzhe’s face darkened as he said, “We have no idea where to even start. If Quintongtian is in trouble, even if we locate him, he could already be dead. Searching recklessly could put us in danger…”


    Teng Lin Zhengzhe clenched his teeth and replied, “Of course we can’t just sit and wait! You two go downstairs and keep watch. I’ll install a bug in the Chinese room. If they return, let me know immediately.”


    The second brother asked, “Brother, what’s the point of installing a bug now? We need to find out where Quintongtian is!”


    Teng Lin Zhengzhe responded coolly, “If something has happened to Quintongtian, only the Chinese will know his location. We need to monitor them closely to uncover Quintongtian’s whereabouts!”


    He sighed and added, “Second, third, you both need to prepare yourselves for the possibility that Quintongtian may not be alive…”


    The expressions on their faces shifted to one of profound sorrow.


    As brothers in arms, though not by blood, they were still part of the Tenglin family—distant rtives who had grown up together, trained in ninjutsu together, and shared a bond as siblings. The weight of this preparation was heavy, and they felt a deep sadness.


    Yet, Teng Lin Zhengzhe’s words rang true.


    Nagoya may not be arge city, but it certainly wasn’t small. With their limited capabilities, it was impossible for the three of them to search for a missing person in such an expansive area.


    The only lead they had was the Chinese, and all truths and clues would remain hidden until he returned.


    They quickly organized their roles: the two would keep watch in the hotel lobby while Teng Lin Zhengzhe sneaked into Charlie’s room to nt several bugs in discreet locations.


    ……


    Ten minutester, Isaac Cameron and Don Albert, along with three of his subordinates, arrived in a refrigerated truck at the park where Charlie was located.


    As the vehicle came to a stop outside the park, Isaac Cameron and Don Albert rushed over to see Charlie standing in front of a ck and purple corpse, which was shockingly gnawing on its own toes.


    Don Albert couldn’t help but ask, “Master Wade, who is this person?!”


    Charlie replied nonchntly, “A Japanese ninja, a member of the Takahashi family.”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong></p“what>
