Chapter 52: A Face-to-Face Confrontation with Noda

  The content of page 1 is as follows:

  When Noda heard Huoyao say that he had done something wrong, he couldn't help but feel a little amused. He really didn't know what this person in front of him was thinking, where did he go wrong? Can they disappear from this encirclement? So Noda sneered at Huoyao and said: "You don't have to pretend anymore, you can't escape my palm. I will let people entertain you wholeheartedly, make you unable to live or die. Haha......"

  After a hearty laugh, Huo Yan finally spoke to Noda in a slow tone: "Let me tell you something, we are all godly marksmen here. Anyone can take your life at any time. From the moment you stepped into this hall, you were destined to be buried with us."

  Noda's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Regardless of whether that person is telling the truth or not, I am now indeed exposed under their gunpoint. If they are determined to die, I may really have to accompany them in death." Noda couldn't help but feel some regret, blaming himself for being too arrogant earlier and not disarming them first.

  Noda continued to pace back and forth slowly. The muzzle of the gunpowder followed Noda's footsteps, aiming at Noda's head. Noda suddenly realized something and thought to himself "These resistance fighters don't want to die together, otherwise they would have fired long ago." So Noda smiled complacently and said: "I'll tell you one thing too, it's not just me who can speak Chinese here."

  When Noda finished speaking, he had already walked to the side of Ozawa Tsuguo. Ozawa Tsuguo suddenly took a step forward and quickly blocked Noda in front of him, completely covering Noda behind his back. Noda smiled triumphantly from behind Ozawa's back: "I've seen that you don't want to die here. But now you have no more chips to use. Haha......" As soon as Noda finished speaking, Ozawa Tsuguo shouted at the two little devils: "You come over and block us in front."

  Two little devils knew they were going to be the shields for the officers, and although they were trembling with fear. But military orders are like mountains, so they could only helplessly run in front of Ozaki Tsuguo, blocking Wada and Ozaki Tsuguo behind them.

  Gunpowder smiled as if watching a play. He didn't take any action when the little devil blocked the wild field for them. Gunpowder can now confirm that both Noda and Otsuka are afraid of death, which is enough. So Gunpowder laughed and said: "Who says I don't have chips? Look at this."

  Gunpowder slowly raised his left hand, and a black thread was seen connecting to the inside of his clothes. Gunpowder inserted the turtle box in his right hand back into his waist, then gently unbuttoned the buttons on his clothes, revealing a large bundle of explosives tied to his upper body.

  Everyone in the hall turned green. To know, the explosives tied to the gunpowder could blow this mansion into ashes. The little devils surrounding the gunpowder took two steps back in surprise. Noda and Ozawa Koji felt that something was off and stuck their heads out to check. When they saw the explosives tied to the gunpowder, they were also shocked, staring blankly and unable to speak.

  Two cows and Wang Xiaolong looked at the gunpowder with a puzzled expression, not knowing when the explosives were tied to their bodies. The two of them complained in unison: "This is great, why didn't you give us some to tie up too? You've taken all the credit for yourself, it's really like you don't consider us brothers." Gunpowder was now at an advantage and naturally couldn't give Wild any chance to catch his breath. He also ignored Er Niu and Wang Xiaolong. Pointing to the revolutionary comrades hanging from the ceiling on both sides of the hall, he said to Wild: "We don't want to die, but we even more don't want to fall into your hands. So, I'll count to three, please let those people go. After you send us away, I promise not to make things difficult for you. If you can't do it, then come and bury us with them."

  Gunpowder shouted loudly: "One!"

  Noda wasn't a fool, and he naturally didn't want to be used as a hostage to let these people leave. Noda couldn't believe that after they left, they would let him go. But now, if he didn't comply with their demands, they could detonate the explosives at any time, and he would still end up dead. Moreover, time was pressing, and Noda temporarily didn't know what to do.

  Gunpowder slowly tightened the black cord of the explosive, with a look of resignation on his face, smiling loudly and shouting: "Two"

  "Wait!" Shozo Ozawa shouted, stopping the countdown. He continued in as calm a voice as possible: "We can let you go. But we absolutely won't send anyone to escort you out. And the people you're trying to save... they've already lost their chance to leave this place. Because... they're all dead."

  The content of page 2 is as follows:

  As Ozawa's right-hand man, Ozawa Koji knew that Noda would never utter words of compromise to these people. Otherwise, Noda would have no prestige left and how could he lead the army? However, Ozawa also knew that Noda did not want to die like this (in fact, Ozawa was unwilling to die like this either). So, Ozawa became Noda's mouthpiece. From then on, there would be no unfavorable words towards Noda in the military. And Ozawa spoke out words of compromise, saving Noda and his own lives. Later, if someone was unfavorable to him in the military, Noda would naturally protect him. Moreover, Ozawa thought that these people would think of a way to leave since they had given up hope of rescue. As long as these people left a certain distance, Noda and he were safe, and there was still an opportunity to eliminate all these people. At that time, he would have made great contributions, and Noda would appreciate him even more. Ozawa's mind had already begun to weave beautiful dreams. "What?" Hearing Ozawa's words, Huoyao, Erniu, and Wang Xiaolong exclaimed in unison. Only then did they discover that the revolutionary comrades hanging in the room were all pale as death, having been dead for a long time. The three of them were furious, their bodies trembling with rage. Had these damned little devils carried out another mass slaughter?

  Ozawa Tsuguo feared that these people would lose control of their emotions, and pulled the fuse of the explosives. Then Ozawa Tsuguo hastily said to the gunpowder: "Be careful with the fuse in your hand, don't do anything stupid."

  Huoyao, Er Niu and Wang Xiaolong suppressed their anger in their hearts, glaring at Noda and Ozawa's second son.

  Koizumi ordered the two little demons to open the door of the hall, and then let the little demons in the hall and the front yard make way for a path. Only then did he say to Huoyao and the others: "Now you can leave."

  "Gunpowder sneered and said: 'Don't treat us like fools, can we leave like this?'"

  Kazuo Ozawa was speechless, and he couldn't help but think "It seems that today is indeed going to be a tough day."

  There was another silence in the hall. Huoyao and others did not dare to leave like this, and Noda and Ozawa also did not dare to make any moves. They stood there confronting each other.

  The field, threatened by the explosives on his body, was really unwilling to be led by the nose by the explosives all the time. He suddenly plucked up the courage and walked out from behind Sazae Tsuguo. Drawing his samurai sword, he shouted angrily at the explosives and others: "Since everyone doesn't want to die, let's have a showdown between men. If you win, I'll send someone to escort you away. If you lose, I'll leave you with a whole corpse." Sazae Tsuguo knew the ferocity of Noda's swordsmanship, and he didn't have a better way out. So Sazae Tsuguo did not stop Noda from challenging the explosives and others.
