A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1161

Ye Fan had given the head of the Xue family, Xue Ren-Yang, strict instructions before leaving Yanjing. Seeing Xu Lei was as good as seeing Ye Fan!

Hence, Xu Lei was more like the heads of both the Xu and Xue families.

Xu Lei was now far more powerful with Ye Fan's protection outside Yanjing and the Xue family within Yanjing.

It would be no easy feat for Xu Feng-Liang to steal power from Xu Lei on his own.

Xu Feng-Liang would probably remain low-key after Xu Lei made those hints today.

The entire Xu residence went quiet after Xu Lei left.

Everyone else in the Xu family had retired for the night.

After a day of commotion, Yanjing reverted to silence.

However, on this very night, miles away in Japan, the streets of Tokyo were in unrest.

Inside some military camp in the city suburbs.

The camp was heavily guarded, and infrared scanners kept scanning the perimeter of the camp.

Thousands of warning signs stood outside, warning people that no entry was allowed.

RUMBLE!

A military off-road vehicle came driving from outside.

The car door opened, and a middle-aged man got off the car.

Everyone turned to salute him as Commander Sato in unison when they saw him.

"Good." Sato nodded before he asked, "Was everything peaceful at the base today? Did anyone attempt to attack?"

"Commander Sato, everything was normal," replied his subordinate reverently.

Sato nodded but continued to look worried and afraid. He continued, "I'm glad nothing is amiss, but do not let your guard down. I don't want history to repeat itself. I don't want the camp to get attacked again. Send my orders, double the patrol guards immediately. Expand the area of patrol one kilometer beyond the camp immediately. If you discover any problems, sound the alarm immediately."

Sato's deep voice echoed by their ears as he said immediately three times in a row.

However, his subordinates felt puzzled.

"Commander Sato, the number of people on patrol has increased manyfold in the last two months. I don't think there is any reason for it to keep increasing. We are not at war, so I think..."

"What?” Sato frowned as his face instantly turned cold. He said unhappily, "Are you doubting my judgment?"

His subordinates instantly panicked and replied with their heads lowered, "Absolutely not."

"In that case, get it done immediately! Also, my guards have to double. Get it done tonight!"

At the drop of his voice, Sato headed out to the tent to rest.

Shortly after Sato left, his men continued to talk about him.

"What do you think came over him? He used to be brave and valiant. When did he become so careful? It feels as though he is afraid to die."

It was not the first time that Sato was increasing the number of troops on patrol. Also, he mobilized a lot of soldiers to stand guard outside his tent and even increased the number of guards beside him with the best martial artists in camp.

Everyone naturally found his unusual behavior bewildering.

"He is probably scared. I heard a man once entered the camp and almost killed the commander. Also, ever since then, he moved right into the camp and refused to leave unless he has something urgent to attend to.

"Also, the commander moved into the bomb shelter a few days ago. When he sleeps at night, someone stands guard by the bed. I even heard that the commander started praying to Buddha. It seems he must have gotten quite a scare."

"Are you kidding? Did someone really charge into the camp single-handedly to kill the commander?"
