Chapter 1765

In fact, just as the man raised his sword, the other five took two steps backward because they didn’t want the blood splattering on their bodies when it spurted out of Nanako’s body.

Their gazes were locked on Nanako, waiting for the bloody scene to unfold, and Nanako herself was ready to meet her death.

However, the mental image they had prepared for came to a screeching halt at this very moment!

The ninja sword, raised high in the air, had been hovering there for a moment, and the others wondered why he was taking so long to behead her.

When they marched forward to look, they realized that the executioner who had wielded the sword was now dead!

A few centimeters of a short blade was stuck on his forehead, and because the cut wound was so clean, only a very small amount of blood seeped out of the wound and dripped onto the thick white snow, painting it red!

While these people were dumbfounded and could not figure out what was going on, they realized that the shuriken that pierced the man’s forehead was surprisingly familiar.

The man holding the phone and recording the video cried out in horror, “Ah! T-That’s Aota’s shuriken!”

It was indeed Aota’s shuriken!

After killing him, Charlie took all of his shurikens, which came in handy at this moment!

The remaining five ninjas were jittery right now!

The tragic death of the four members, including Masatetsu and Aota, had left a horrifying mark in their memory. Now that someone had killed another member of their family with Aota’s shuriken, it meant that they were also facing a fatal crisis!

The man who was recording the video threw the phone away and shouted, “Guys! Get into formation!”

Then, the other four came to their senses and unsheathed their swords. The five of them formed a small circle with their backs facing each other - each one guarding a different direction. This was the most common form of ninja defense.

Nanako heard the commotion, opened her eyes, and realized that the man who was about to behead her had turned into a standing corpse while the other five formed a defensive formation as if they were facing tough enemies!

Before she could figure out what was going on, one of the five ninjas suddenly fell straight forward, dropping into the thick snow!

The man next to him hurriedly reached out and turned him over, only to discover that he also had a shuriken stuck in his forehead! He pointed in the direction of the wall and said nervously, “The wall!”

The remaining four ditched the circular defensive formation and stared intensely at the direction where the shuriken had been shot.

One of them said with a trembling voice, “Stabbing someone in the dark is a sly move! Come out and show yourself if you dare!”

Although he said so, he secretly prayed that the killer would not reveal himself due to his provocation. After all, with his strength, he would not fall for such a childish taunt.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a shadow suddenly leaped down from the wall and walked toward them rather leisurely!

Each step the shadow took made the snow on the ground creak, and the four of them shuddered in utter fear.

Nanako stared at the shadow with wide eyes, wanting to know the identity of the person that had secretly saved her.

Before she could finally see who he was, she was so stunned as if she was struck by lightning!

Never in her wildest dream could she imagine that the person who saved her was the man she had been missing for so long—Charlie!

For a brief moment, Nanako thought she had been mistaken and was hallucinating, so she rubbed her eyes and looked closely.
