Tranxending Vision - Chapter 890

Chapter 890: 890

Half a month later .

Arabino Range, Moscow, Russia .

A cargo train from China entered the station . Other than the passenger compartments, there were more than a dozen flat cars . The carriage was loaded with Type 99 Main Battle Tanks transported over from China . However, there was a carriage that was completely covered by a large military canvas . Though it was obvious what was under it, no one could identify the model of the tank .

On the flat cars were four armed military guards with live ammunition . They stood at their positions in an impressively straight posture, watching over the station vigilantly .

There were a few trains parked in the station . Similarly, all of them had carried tanks . There was the Arjun Tank from India, the Type 10 Tank from Japan and armies from many other countries like Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Belarus . The station was essentially a gathering place for tanks from all over the globe .

“We’re here, Comrade Xia Lei . Let’s exit the train,” said Huang He to Xia Lei . The general was very courteous to him .

“Sure, after you . ” Xia Lei stood and followed Huang He .

The man was protected by a huge bunch of Northern Land Corps Special Forces . The soldiers carefully surrounded him as he left the compartment .

As soon as Xia Lei exited the train, he could spot the Arjun Tank and Type 10 Tank in a glance . These two tanks were the ones that ranked higher than China’s Type 99 Tank . It was inevitable that the Japanese and Indian media took the chance to sensationalize their victory while hinting mockery with their words . It was an unfortunate reality . While the Type 99 Tank had strong firepower, it lags far behind in terms of manoeuvrability, maintenance, and electronic equipment .

A hoard of Japanese had exited their train too . There were Japanese soldiers in their uniforms and casually dressed employees .

Abruptly, Xia Lei’s gaze found its way onto a woman among the Japanese group . The man soon found it difficult to tear his focus away .

The woman was dressed in a traditional kimono . Her face was skillfully powdered and her lips were shaped into a small cherry-like shape . Albeit so, those weren’t the factors that attracted Xia Lei’s attention . The man couldn’t look away as she was none other than Hattori Mei herself .

As he looked at her, Hattori Mei reciprocated the gesture . As soon as she noticed him, her attention too was solely focused on him .

Their eyes met and gave rise to a swell of complicated emotions within Xia Lei’s heart . Back in Paris, he had spent a lust-charged night with her . But they had become vicious enemies to one another in India . Xia Lei had even taken the life of her brother, Hattori Geppa . Their unplanned meeting triggered a flood of memories that seemed to stagger around longer than Xia Lei had anticipated .

At this moment, a tall man dressed in military uniform exited the carriage . Coming to Hattori Mei’s side, he blocked Xia Lei’s line of view . He had exchanged words with Hattori Mei and immediate;y swung his head to stare at Xia Lei .

The man was unmistakably Hattori Masao .

While Xia Lei awkwardly pondered as to why Hattori Mei was here, the sight of Hattori Masao seemed to have answered his query . Hattori Masao was a general of the Japanese Land Self-Defense Force . It would make sense for him to be here as Japan’s Type 10 Tank was involved in the tank biathlon .

“Hmph!” Huang He scoffed as he spared the Japanese a glance . “That’s General Hattori Masao of the Japanese Land Self-Defense Force . The man’s very intense, he’s considered a right-wing figure in Japan . He has made a lot of unfriendly remarks in the past . ”

“I’m acquainted with him . ” Xia Lei looked away .

“How did you know each other?” Huang He was genuinely surprised .

Xia Lei answered, “The last time we participated in the International Army Weapons Exhibition in Paris, he had visited the Thunder Horse Organization hall . His daughter is the personal assistant to Lockheed Martin’s Madam Folsom, she’s the one in the kimono . ”

Huang He looked at Hattori Mei briefly . While Hattori Mei was an absolute beauty among mixed-raced females, Huang He wasn’t the least bit interested in her . An honest soldier like him had no interest in his competition .

The group of Japanese were also headed towards the main lobby of the station . Before long, the two parties came face to face at the entrance of the lobby .

The Japanese soldiers stared at the Chinese soldiers emotionlessly as the latter returned the gesture with stern expressions . Truthfully, such tension most certainly wouldn’t be seen among their civilians but it definitely existed between their soldiers . The Japanese had invaded China and trampled their people and soil . It was basically impossible for the soldiers to forget about the past . To make things worse, the Japanese military was still occupying an island of theirs . Blatantly put, Japan’s actions and decisions were hostile and both parties had viewed each other equally as potential enemies . How could one show joy in the face of a foe?

“So we meet again, Mister Xia . ” Hattori Mei’s smile was coquettish . “It’s been a while since we met in Paris, why hadn’t you contacted me yet? Have you forgotten all about me?”

“You’re…?” Xia Lei pretended .

Hattori Mei wasn’t the least bit fazed at all . “You’re pretty good at acting . You may forget me but I’ll never forget you . ”

He was a man who she had bedded a few times, there was no way she could ever forget about him . Plus, Xia Lei had stolen the Hattori clan’s AI technology and even killed her brother!

Hattori Masao’s gaze on Xia Lei was unbearably chilly . He would never forget the death of his son, Hattori Geppa .

“I’m terribly sorry, I really don’t recognize you . Goodbye . ” Xia Lei left the scene .

“Wait . ” Hattori Mei quickened her steps to catch up to him . “What are you doing here?”

“I could ask the same . ” Xia Lei turned to meet her eyes .

“I’m here to join the tank biathlon, of course . ” She answered .

“I too am here to join the tank biathlon . ” Xia Lei replied the same thing .

“Can we not do this?” Hattori Mei scowled . “Just lend me a minute, it won’t take long . ”

“I don’t think there’s anything left for us to talk about,” said Xia Lei .

“I don’t think so . Come on, let’s talk . You won’t lose anything . ” Hattori Mei was keen .

While Xia Lei was hesitating, Huang He immediately yelled after her . “Madam, what is with you? Mister Xia had expressed his intentions clearly, please respect him . ”

Hattori Masao quickly retaliated, “Mister Huang He, is this how Chinese men treat a woman?”

Huang He glared at him sharply . “Depends on the woman . ”

“How could you say something like that! You need to apologize!” One of the Land Self-Defense soldiers who could converse in Chinese quickly stood up for her . His tone was extremely unfriendly .

In that split second, the Chinese soldiers surrounded the scene .

The atmosphere immediately turned tense .

Xia Lei was helpless . It would be a big issue if a brawl were to take place now, he would be the trigger of it too . The man quickly interrupted the tension . “What are you guys doing? Please calm down . ” With a change of his tone, he turned to Huang He . “General Huang, I’ll just talk to her, it won’t take long . ”

Huang He nodded . “Very well, we’ll wait for you . ”

A group of armed Special Forces swiftly went into their positions to wait for one Xia Lei . This was a majestic display only Xia Lei could have .

Hattori Mei began to walk straight, following along the station platform .

Xia Lei trailed behind her, silently activating his left eye to check for hidden threats . Soon enough, his findings had deemed her unarmed . The only abnormal thing on her was a butterfly-shaped absorbent material, to which his eyes felt like it got stabbed when he tried to see through it .

Hattori Mei resumed walking even though she had walked about twenty metres away . Xia Lei decided to stop walking . “Enough, this is far enough . What do you want to say? You’re free to say it now . ”

It was only then that Hattori Mei halted her footsteps . She turned around to face Xia Lei . “I saw that your train had carried a tank covered in military canvas . What tank is it?”

“How am I supposed to know? It’s probably the Type 99 Tank,” answered Xia Lei nonchalantly .

“There’s no point trying to trick me . It may be covered but I can tell that its size is much bigger than the Type 99 . It even seems to be larger than our Type 10 Tank . There’s no way it could be a Type 99, right?” Hattori Mei attempted to probe .

Xia Lei shrugged . “I’m not sure, I’ll ask them later . ”

“Stop pretending . That is the tank produced by your Thunder Horse Organization, right? I’ve received intel that your side has been busy with producing a tank, its completion should fall around now if my estimations are correct . ”

She could guess that the tank on the carriage was Thunder Horse’s new tank but Xia Lei was not surprised at all .

“Why ask questions you know the answers to?”

“Can you tell me more about your tank?”

Xia Lei scoffed . “Haha, I don’t think we’re on friendly terms here . We’re enemies . I wasn’t expecting you to be so casual, directly asking me for such confidential information . Why are you so confident?”

“Well, you owe me . ”

“I owe you?”

“You slept with me in France and had the audacity to steal my family’s AI technology while I gained nothing from it . Don’t you think you owe me something? Plus, you killed my brother back in India and yet I hadn’t sought revenge from you . You really think you don’t owe me anything?”

Calmly, Xia Lei replied, “You should consider yourself lucky that I hadn’t killed you off in India . If something like that were to happen again, you can start arranging your funeral . ”

Disdain flashed in her eyes but dissipated in the next second . “It’s alright if you don’t want to tell me anything, it’s only natural when you’re about to join the tank biathlon . I hope you brought all the tools you need . The tank you’re contesting against this time is not the Russian or Indian tanks, you’ll be facing Japan’s most advanced tank!”

“Japan’s most advanced tank? Hehehe…” Xia Lei cackled .

“Tanks are the kings of the land battle, they’re not as easy to make as guns . Just you wait, I’ll be sure to give you a taste of defeat . ” Hattori Mei was beaming with confidence .

“You brought me here just to say this?”

Unexpectedly, Hattori Mei abruptly came closer . She lowered her voice . “There’s someone who wants to meet you . ”

Xia Lei was perplexed . “Who?”

“You’ll know soon . ” With that, Hattori Mei turned around and left .

Watching her leave, a disdainful smile soon found its way onto his lips . Though he had no idea who she was referring to, he wasn’t interested at all .

Did she really think that he was someone anyone could meet?

Absolutely not!
