Chapter 398: Ikeda's Death
When Eio Ikeda woke up, he didn't open his eyes immediately, but he felt that his surroundings must be very bright, and he rubbed his heavy eyelids vigorously before he could barely open his eyes, and found that it was indeed a very bright office, and its luxurious furnishings were not inferior to his own, except that there were many large screens embedded in the walls, desks, and even on the side wall of a large wine cabinet.
Due to the transient amnesia caused by the transformation, Hideo Ikeda didn't know where this was and why he was here, he got up from the ground and slowly walked to a large sofa not far away and sat down, raised his eyes and found that there was a very delicate wooden cigar box on the coffee table in front of him, Ikeda Hideo wanted to sober himself up as soon as possible, so he opened the wooden cigarette case and took out a cigar cigarette and put it under his nose and sniffed it, and then kept nodding his head when he just wanted to find a lighter to light a cigarette, He lowered his head and suddenly noticed that he was actually wearing a black uniform that he had not worn at all, and Hideo Ikeda looked at the uniform on his body and the Black Eagle logo on his chest and wondered: Isn't this the uniform of the Black Eagle Society? Why did I wear one too?
At this time, the door of the suite in the office opened silently, and Kosuke Sato and Shuzo Yasuda walked out of it one after another, they didn't want to see Hideo Ikeda fall to the ground before he woke up, so they waited for him to wake up before walking back to the main hall of the office from the lounge in the middle of the room.
Hideo Ikeda didn't know where it was, he was forcibly transformed by Ryoko Misaki while he was asleep in his bed, so he didn't know anything about the current situation. Seeing Kosuke Sato and Shuzo Yasuda walking in, Hideo Ikeda's face immediately stood up with a bunch of smiles, and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Kosuke Sato, who was approaching him, but when his hand reached in front of Kosuke Sato, Hideo Ikeda's face froze, and he opened his mouth wide to look unusually surprised, it turned out that his consciousness that had gradually awakened suddenly thought of a question, that is, Kosuke Sato in front of him should only be the size of his thumb, But now that the Sato Kosuke in front of him was half a head taller than himself, Hideo Ikeda knew that Sato Kosuke's transformation was irreversible, and his body immediately stiffened there, and his eyes were suddenly full of fear.
Kosuke Sato completely ignored Hideo Ikeda's outstretched arm that was already frozen there, but walked straight to the sofa with Shuzo Yasuda and sat down slowly, and when he passed Hideo Ikeda, Kosuke Sato took the cigar back from Hideo Ikeda's other hand that was still frozen there, and neatly cut off the tail of the cigarette with the cigar cutter on the coffee table, lit the cigar with a lighter, took a slow puff, and sprayed the blue smoke high into the air.
Hideo Ikeda was already oozing dense beads of sweat from his head at this time, and he slowly turned back to face the two people on the sofa again, and asked in a stammering voice, "Sato-kun, what's going on?" What is this place? Why am I here? Am I also converted? ”
Seeing that Kosuke Sato didn't pay attention to Hideo Ikeda's series of questions, Shuzo Yasuda was still slowly spitting out smoke, after all, he was also Hideo's old subordinate of Ikeda, so he had to speak:
"President Ikeda, you have indeed been transformed, this is the office of President Sato of the Black Eagle Society's Moon Headquarters Base, you designed to frame Mrs. Sato, and President Sato is very angry now, so he invited you here."
"I framed Mrs. Sato? Why would I do that? Hideo Ikeda's head was foggy, and he still didn't know what was going on.
Shuzo Yasuda took out two miniature telegraphs from his pocket and said, "We have both human and physical evidence, and our people have also found the exact same telegraph that we found in Rie Nagasawa's house at your residence, so I don't think Mr. Ikeda, you don't have to pretend that you don't know anything, and we are very clear about the resentment between you and your wife." ”
Hideo Ikeda's mind was spinning rapidly, and he thought that it must have been some accident here with Noriko Sato, and Kosuke Sato thought that he had done it, and quickly explained:
"Lady Sato is in the headquarters base of the Black Eagle Society on the Moon, and I am in the headquarters of the Xuanwu Society on Earth, how can I come to harm Mrs. Sato? The Rie Nagasawa you just mentioned is just one of my cousin's children, I've only met her twice, and I wouldn't even think of that name if my cousin hadn't begged me to help put things to good luck in their family. ”
Hideo Ikeda said, then pointed to the two communicators on the coffee table, and continued, "I've never seen this thing before, it's not mine at all." Besides, the entanglement with my wife has passed, and I once went to the door to explain the misunderstanding to my wife's father in person......"
Sato Hongsuke was already very impatient to listen at this time, he knew that Hideo Ikeda would definitely not admit it himself, and he would definitely deny it in every possible way because he knew that if he admitted it, he would die, but Sato Hongsuke didn't come to ask him to admit anything, Sato Hongsuke's face was already with a murderous aura at this time, he pressed a touch button on his communication terminal, and several of his subordinates who had been waiting outside the door immediately rushed into the house, and walked briskly towards Hideo Ikeda who was standing in front of the sofa.
Seeing this posture, Hideo Ikeda hurriedly waved his hands and stepped back and said loudly, "Sato-kun, did you hear my explanation?" I really haven't done anything to hurt Madame!! ”
Several strong men had already surrounded Hideo Ikeda at this time, and dragged him to a spacious place in the middle of the room, when Hideo Ikeda had not fully stood still, a heavy punch with the wind had already landed heavily on Ikeda's left eye socket, Hideo Ikeda immediately staggered back a few steps, covered his face, stopped explaining and turned into a loud howl, several people had already received instructions from Sato Kosuke and began to hit Ikeda Hideo mercilessly, and the screams echoed in Sato's office......
Kosuke Sato, who was sitting on the sofa, was smoking a cigarette leisurely, and Shuzo Yasuda also poured a glass of red wine and drank it slowly, each with his own thoughts. Kosuke Sato opened his eyes slightly to soothe his anger, and every scream from Hideo Ikeda made him feel more comfortable; Although Shuzo Yasuda also hated Hideo Ikeda's approach, but as a former colleague, he wanted to finish things as soon as possible, and Sato Hongsuke's cruelty also made him more vigilant, and decided that he would be very careful in the future, he knew that he was not the material for the protagonist, and it was already a very lucky thing to be the second position of the Black Eagle Society.
When Sato Hongsuke's cigar smoke was about to burn his fingers, Sato Hongsuke slowly extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray, and the dozens of minutes of beating had made Hideo Ikeda no longer make any sound, just fell to the ground and occasionally squirmed a few times to show that he was not dead, if it wasn't for Sato Hongsuke having instructed his subordinates not to hit the key parts, it is estimated that Hideo Ikeda would have been dead for a long time at this time.
"Find some cold water to keep him sober!" Kosuke Sato commanded.
When Hideo Ikeda, who was wet and wet, was put on the ground in front of Kosuke Sato, Hideo Ikeda raised his graying head and pleaded in a low voice: "Sato, kill me, don't torture me anymore for the sake of the help I have helped you in the past!" ”
Kosuke Sato smiled, leaned over and said, "I just didn't use any torture for the sake of you helping me before, these punches and kicks just let you know that you should pay a small price for these things you do, if it weren't for the medicine I gave you, you, the old guy, would have turned to dust a long time ago, isn't it too small to mention your favor to me now?" Without me, would you be able to sit on the throne of the head of the Xuanwu Society? And one is more than 20 years! However, people always have to pay back what they got by accident, it's just a matter of when and how to pay it back, you should feel very content, you can't get anything extra you want anymore! ”
Hideo Ikeda suddenly felt very aggrieved, his hard-earned status and power seemed to have been taken away by Sato Hongsuke in an instant, and he was mercilessly naked, he seemed to have some desire to survive in his heart, and raised his head with difficulty and pleaded: "Sato-kun, I want to beg you to spare my life, I am willing to do anything for you, as long as I can live!" ”
"Oh, this request doesn't seem to be too much, so let's do it, for the sake of our friendship for so many years, I agree to your request, but there must be a precondition, which is also the only condition, that is, you have to get my wife Noriko Sato's forgiveness, as long as she nods and says she can let you go, I will definitely agree to let you go, if she doesn't say anything, I will have to make you the first human satellite of the moon, if you are lucky, you can fly around the moon orbit for a few hours without hitting any small meteors or falling down, but you'll still slowly watch yourself suffocated, because you'll only get a few hours of life support turned on, and you'll enjoy knowing you're going to die! ”
Sato's words made Eio Ikeda feel even more frightened, and he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, okay, Sato-kun, I'll do as you say, I'll go and ask Madame for guilt, no matter what I've done, I'll be very sincere in asking for guilt, Madame is kind, maybe she'll forgive me!" ”
"Okay, then it depends on your ability, but you won't have this opportunity to meet Noriko in person, she will appear on the big screen in front of you in a while, you can perform to your heart's content, maybe a miracle may really happen." Sato waved his hand, and several of his men immediately dragged Hideo Ikeda to a large screen in front of a wall, Ikeda Hideo was very much looking forward to seeing Noriko Sato, he knew that this was his last hope, although he still hadn't been able to figure out what he had done to make Sato Hongsuke so angry.
When the picture of Noriko Sato sitting on the hospital bed appeared on the big screen, Hideo Ikeda's bloody face carried a glimmer of hope, and he immediately confessed loudly to Noriko Sato on the screen, saying that Taro Sato's death was not his sincere, and he admired his wife very much and respected Kosuke Sato, etc......
Ten minutes later, Sato Kosuke was still sitting quietly on the big sofa with his legs crossed, he squinted at Hideo Ikeda, who was still begging Kiko, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he was admiring Ikeda's acting skills were so clumsy and persistent, and now he is still pretending that he doesn't know what happened to Noriko Sato, Sato Kosuke thinks that this shows Hideo Ikeda's treachery and viciousness, and only the cunning Ikeda can play the play so realistically and persistently.
Looking at Noriko Sato, who was stunned and expressionless on the screen, as if she didn't realize her existence at all, Hideo Ikeda, who had been begging for more than ten minutes, finally felt that something was not right, and he immediately turned his head to Kosuke Sato, who was sitting on the sofa not far away, and asked, "Sato-kun, why didn't Madame react, is she sick?" ”
Kosuke Sato sneered a few times and did not respond to Hideo Ikeda's question, Shuzo Yasuda observed these ten minutes and began to feel that Hideo Ikeda really didn't know Noriko Sato's current situation, and he couldn't help asking:
"Ikeda, you really don't know what happened to Mrs. Sato?"
Hideo Ikeda nodded vigorously, turned his face to Shuzo Yasuda with a blank look, and cast a look at him for help, Shuizo Yasuda just wanted to continue talking, when he heard Kosuke Sato next to him suddenly cough softly, Yasuda had to close his mouth that had been opened, Hideo Ikeda's brain was spinning rapidly at this time, he suddenly opened his mouth wide, and tried to open his swollen eyes that were beaten high and said:
"Is Madame poisoned? She seems to have fallen for our ......"
Speaking of this, Hideo Ikeda's words came to an abrupt end, he swallowed back the half of what he wanted to say, turned around and returned to the front of Noriko Sato on the screen, raised his arm and pointed to the ceiling, and said loudly:
"Mrs. Sato, are you poisoned? I swear to Amaterasu that I, Hideo Ikeda, really didn't harm my wife, and if I did this, I would rather die a good death, so please ask my wife to send a message and ask President Sato to let me go, an innocent person, and you can nod lightly, indicating that you believe what I say! ”
After saying that, Hideo Ikeda looked at Noriko Sato on the big screen with a very expectant look, expecting her to react, even if he subconsciously moved his head, Ikeda would be able to take this as a lifesaver, and after staring at the screen for five minutes, Hideo Ikeda saw that Noriko Sato still didn't react at all, only some saliva flowed down the corners of her mouth, Hideo Ikeda slowly despaired, he understood in his heart that Kosuke Sato must have thought that he had harmed Noriko Sato, But he couldn't find any more excuses to excuse himself, and the spark of hope slowly died in Ikeda's heart, and he fell to the ground and passed out.
Kosuke Sato snorted heavily, he was already patiently watching Hideo Ikeda's performance, he ordered the nurse in the picture to wait for Noriko Sato to rest immediately, and then turned his head to Shuzo Yasuda beside him and said:
"You see how good this Ikeda is at acting, and I am now even more convinced that Hideo Ikeda is the murderer."
Shuzo Yasuda also nodded helplessly, although he still had some doubts in his heart, but at this time, he could no longer say anything to Sato Hongsuke who was angry. Kosuke Sato commanded to several of his subordinates standing beside him:
"Fill Ikeda with some water and food to sober him up, I'm going to let him live for a few more hours, then put him in one of our astronaut uniforms, remember to only give him eight hours of oxygen supply, let Naoki Itabato send someone to throw Hideo Ikeda into lunar orbit, transfer his video line to the big screen in Noriko's hospital room, I'm going to make my wife watch the horror and despair of her enemies, watch Eio Ikeda slowly be scared to death after becoming a manner satellite of the moon, and then his body will float endlessly in space, Until you hit a meteorite and break your bones! ”
Kosuke Sato gritted his teeth and stood up after saying these words fiercely, it was already the second half of the night, and at this time he knew that what he needed to do and what he could do had been done, Kosuke Sato suddenly felt extremely tired, he stood up and waved his hand to Shuzo Yasuda beside him and said:
"Yasuda-kun, you should also hurry up and go home to rest, thank you for always being with me today, there are too many things that happened today and too suddenly, I feel very tired now."
Ryoko Misaki, who had been hiding outside the office room and watching Kosuke Sato finish dealing with 'family matters', saw that several people had dragged the unconscious Hideo Ikeda out, and Ryoko Mizaki herself walked into the room quickly, Shuzo Yasuda nodded to her and said:
"Ryoko, you're just in time, you go and serve Sato-kun to rest, I'm tired of him today, and I really need someone to take care of him."
Ryoko Misaki smiled and nodded to her cousin, then walked over to Kosuke Sato's side and grabbed one of Sato's arms, and the two of them walked together towards the office door.
When Sato woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day, and although the room was dim, bright light was still shining through the gaps in the curtains
