Chapter 1773

Charlie recognized Sophie immediately as soon as the gunny sack was removed.

He could not help but curse silently in his heart: “Isn’t this the woman the same woman who was sitting in the Rolls-Royce with Eikichi that night? She had even argued with me when I was teaching Eikichi a lesson. Unexpectedly, she has actually been kidnapped and brought all the way here. Moreover, it seems as though these people are going to kill her before blaming her death on Yahiko. It looks like this woman does not come from an ordinary background!”

At this time, Sophie’s mouth was gagged as there was a towel stuff into her mouth. So, even if she continued whimpering for a long time, she could not really say anything at all.

So, the ninja in charge stretched out his hand before he pulled the towel out of her mouth. After that, he said coldly, “I will give you one chance. Just say whatever you want to say then.”

Sophie was terrified and her eyes were filled with horror. However, she forced herself to calm down and regain her own composure as she said in a trembling voice, “Let me and my brother go. Just tell me how much money you want. I will pay you ten times the amount of what the other party is paying you!”

The ninja in charge sneered as he said, “It is meaningless for us to continue talking about this. The rule in the Japanese ninjutsu family is for us to always be loyal to our employer. We will only be favored by the wealthy and influential families if we remain absolutely loyal to our employer. Otherwise, as soon as the wealthy and influential families lose their faith and trust in the ninjas’ loyalty, then it is very likely that all the ninjas in Japan will lose their livelihood. At that time, we will certainly become the public enemies of all the ninjas in Japan. Even if you are willing to give me more money, I will not be able to keep my life!”

Sophie hurriedly said, “Then all of you can go to Oskia! I will give all of you one billion US dollars. That would be more than enough for you to live comfortably in Oskia for an entire lifetime! You will not need to continue fighting and killing for others anymore!”

The ninja in charge was startled but he could not help but sighed and said, “Miss, I really did not expect you to be so rich. One billion US dollars is indeed a very large sum of money. Let’s forget about whether you really have that much money to give me, but like I’ve told you, even if you give me that much money, at that time, I will certainly not be able to keep my own life. Even if you are willing to give me ten billion US dollars, I will still be hunted down by the Japanese ninjas in this lifetime. This deal isn’t worth it at all.”

Sophie blurted out, “Do you think that no one will chase you or hunt you down if you kill me then? Let me tell you something. If you kill me, then my family will certainly come after you and hunt you down at all cost! When that time comes, even if you have a lot of money, you won’t be able to keep your life to spend that money!”

“No, no, no.” The man smiled before he said, “Yes, I’m prepared to kill you but after I kill you, I am going to pin the blame on Ito Yahiko. Anyway, there seems to be some disagreement between your family and the Ito family because of the collaboration contract. At that time, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and your family would certainly regard Ito Yahiko as the man who has taken both of your lives.”

Sophie gritted her teeth angrily as she asked, “All of this was planned by Matsumoto Yoshito, right?”

At this time, the ninja in charge looked at Sophie before he sneered and said, “Mr. Matsumoto had originally planned to collaborate with your family piously. Unexpectedly, both of you would act so high and mighty and you are also very arrogant! Mr. Matsumoto had personally made the trip to request to meet both of you, but both of you had simply ignored him completely. Since you were so rude and disrespectful toward Mr. Matsumoto, then you should not blame Mr. Matsumoto for being ruthless and cruel to you!”

When the ninja in charge mentioned Mr. Matsumoto when he was talking to his subordinate earlier, Sophie already realized at that moment that the mastermind behind this matter was none other than Yoshito!

She really did not expect Yoshito, who was only in the third-ranked family in Tokyo, would actually be so vicious!

He was planning to attack her and her brother before shifting the blame to Yahiko. He must have wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the strength of the Ito family. Perhaps he was also using some other methods to deal with the Takahashi family at the same time.

If everything were to go as Yoshito had planned, then her family would certainly seek revenge from Yahiko then. Wouldn’t Yoshito be able to take advantage of the situation to reap the benefits for himself then?!

Sophie was filled with regrets as she thought about this.

If she had known that this would happen, then she and her brother should have just met up with Yoshito when he came to see them that day. No matter what he said, they would have already given him face instead of offending him directly at the very least.

It was a pity that these were now nothing but hindsight. The big mistake had already been made and there was no turning back now.

At this time, Jaime, who was beside Sophie, was also feeling very regretful. However, since he was gagged and had a gunny sack over his head, he could not say anything at all.

The ninja in charge took out his cell phone before he made a phone call to Yoshito. After the call was connected, he said respectfully, “Mr. Matsumoto, we have already scouted the Ito family mansion and found a very suitable location to hide the corpses. The opponent’s defence and security are also very weak. We are confident that we will not be discovered by anyone when we go over there to hide the corpses. Mr. Matsumoto, I wonder when you would like us to take action, then?”

Yoshito laughed before he said, “Tokyo is in a very chaotic mess right now. It has not been so hectic and chaotic here in decades, so I want to wait a little longer. Let me finish watching this drama in Tokyo with peace of mind first!”
