He was afraid that even killing Charlie wouldn’t help him restore his dignity. After all, the horrifying beating which he had endured was already known to every Japanese in Japan. It was already rooted deeply within the hearts of the people.Machi’s expression turned sour and he was thinking of ways to comfort his son. During that moment, his cell phone rang.Machi took out his cell phone and saw an unfamiliar number. He pressed on the answer button and answered the call.From the other side of the call, a familiar voice rang. It was Ito Yahiko!“Oh, Brother Machi! I heard that Eikichi was beaten up by someone in Tokyo today?”Yahiko’s voice seemed to be somewhat concerned at first but anyone with a brain could have figured out that it was actually sarcasm.Machi replied with a blackened face. “Yahiko, I remember saving your number. Did you change it?”“No.” Tahiko replied with a cheerful tone. “My number is still the same. This is my personal assistant’s cell phone. I was afrai
For so many years, Machi and Yahiko merely had friendly rivalry with one another. It could be said that in those years, the two of them only saw each other as their biggest competitors.However, both of them were only around their early fifties. They grew up in the post-war period where Japan was at its weakest, most fragile moment. It was an era where people had no vision and self-esteem. They grew up during the peaceful moments and thus, there was no longer the viciousness and wickedness that their predecessors once had in their blood.That was why after competing with one another for so many years, their main motive for competition was only for business advancements. They had never had the intention of killing their opponents.It was like Alibaba and Tencent company bosses. Despite their competition being very fiery, they still abided by the laws and regulations.No matter how upset they were with one another, they will still try to remain as polite and rule-abiding as possible.
That night, the four of them took shifts monitoring. The shift was split into two and for each shift, two people would be monitoring while the other two would rest. Each person would be working for four hours to ensure that the rest of them got enough rest.They thought that their plan was perfect but they had no idea that everything had all been planned by Charlie.Till now, Charlie hadn’t taken any actions because he didn’t want to tip off the enemy. Additionally, he wanted to proceed more flexibly as things unfolded.The main reason as to why he was not interested in dealing with these ninjas in Tokyo was because he didn’t want the Takahashi family to be on his tail since he would be travelling to several other cities as well. If he were to kill off the ninjas, the Takahashi family would definitely watch him like a hawk, which would cause more problems in the future.Instead of all these unnecessary problems, it would be better to just let these four ninjas follow him. When the
The moment Sophie heard the words that were spoken by Machi, she couldn’t help but raise her brow.In her heart she couldn’t help but feel suspicious.Yesterday, Father just had a conference to collaborate with one of their families to eradicate the other family. Why would the Takahashi family suddenly offer the idea of collaborating with us to eradicate the Ito family today?! Did Takahashi Machi eavesdrop on the three-way conversation?Sophie felt that maybe her hypothesis might not be too far-fetched.In her mind, she thought.Yesterday, before they entered the hotel, the bodyguards had already made a thorough inspection. It was confirmed that the room had no eavesdropping bugs nor any recorders. Nevertheless, this is Tokyo. This is the Takahashi family’s area. If he wants to eavesdrop on my brother and I, then it shouldn’t be too difficult to pull off…Jaime too felt suspicious, wondering if Machi had eavesdropped on them.However, due to Machi’s presence, Jaime couldn’t disc
Isaac had booked the best hotel in Nagoya for everyone.Charlie could also sense that the four ninjas who had been following him had followed him to the hotel.After Charlie had checked in, Fujibayashi Masatetsu, who was the leader of the ninjas, brought the other three to the front desk of the hotel.They booked two rooms on the same floor as Charlie.Moreover, they were very clever to reserve four different rooms. These four rooms were next to the two elevators and the emergency staircase.Due to the fact that Japan was an earthquake prone country, their hotel designs therefore revolved around the concept to ease the escape of the people in case such a natural disaster were to occur.Two emergency escape staircases in a single building was not something one can find elsewhere.They had purposely chosen these locations to monitor Charlie’s every move. This really helped ease the monitoring process.As to why they did not book the rooms surrounding Charlie’s, that was mainly du
The main reason why Charlie wanted to leave Isaac and Albert’s group was so he could operate by himself. He wanted to test out the ninja who was tracking him. He wanted to know how strong the ninja who had been tailing him all this while was.Moreover, he knew very well that the other party had followed him to the hotel and he was able to theorize that the opponent would have the mindset that since Charlie had checked into the hotel, he would definitely return to the hotel. Therefore, they would not track him down with all four men.It was not that Charlie was afraid of being surrounded by the group. Instead, to Charlie, it seemed like Mr. Takahashi might be lacking in manpower since only four of them had followed him all the way from Tokyo. If he were to sweep all of them under the rug, then the rest of his days in Japan would be very boring.Therefore, Charlie was hoping for them to separate so he could take them out one by one.Only by taking them out individually like this woul
However, the use of the shuriken is quite different from that of a dagger.The dagger is mostly used for piercing and cutting whereas the shuriken is normally used for throwing.It could be said that the shuriken is closer related to the flying daggers used by the Circus Dagger Masters, which is performed by throwing their daggers at moving objects.If martial arts is about glory and righteousness, then Japanese ninjutsu would more closely resemble cruelty and heartlessness.Ninjas do not like face-to-face confrontations. They prefer attacking from the dark where their victims have no idea where they are. This is the ultimate path a ninja would pursue.They would use weapons such as shurikens, darts, and blow darts. They also like coating their blades with highly toxic substances so their opponents cannot escape death even if they were to fail in the upfront assassination. In case they fail, the toxins would work their magic and eventually kill the opponent.A minute had passed a
When Aota heard this sound, he was overwhelmed with terror.This confirmed the scariest assumption that he had in his heart!The Oskian man had indeed been here all along. He had never left before!Furthermore, he had not heard the sound of this person’s breathing or heartbeat, from the very beginning to the end! How did he do it?Moreover, he had also hit his shoulder twice. This proved that he had been very close to his own body at least twice but he did not hear anything at all! He did not even hear the sound of his footsteps!At this time, he subconsciously wanted to turn around and throw his shuriken at the other party. However, he was a little worried deep inside his heart.After all, he only had six shuriken. He had already thrown four of his shuriken earlier. Therefore, he was holding onto the last two shuriken in his hands now!What if he missed again after throwing out his last two shuriken?His opponent was directly in front of him and he would never give him the opp
