Chapter 1784

About a hundred hidden top masters working for the Schulz family secretly stopped searching for Jaime and Sophie. Twenty of them drove directly to Kyoto in the middle of the night, whereas the remaining eighty top masters were all starting to assemble at the Matsumoto family mansion.

Yoshito did not even know that he was already faced with imminent disaster.

He checked the time, and he saw that it was already ten o’clock at night. So, he took out his cell phone to call Jonin.

According to his plan, Jonin was supposed to kill the pair of siblings now before hiding their corpses in the Ito family mansion within the next half an hour.

After that, he would wait patiently for a few more hours. When the corpses had already lost almost all of their residual body temperature and turned cold, he would make an anonymous police report to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department about this matter.

This way, Yahiko would be done for early in the morning tomorrow.

After Yahiko was done for, his only enemy would be Machi, then.

Machi should currently still be stuck and immersed in the pain and grief of losing his son. It could be said that this was his most vulnerable moment. He could just set up an ambush and kill Machi as the latter was attending his son’s funeral procession.

As Yoshito thought about this matter in his mind, the cell phone dial tone at his ear kept beeping.

‘Why can’t I get through to Jonin’s cell phone at all?’

Yoshito could not help but frown.

‘Didn’t I already give him a reminder regarding this matter? I told him that he must keep his cell phone on at all times so that we will be able to communicate and keep in touch with one another in real-time. So, what is happening?!’

Yoshito felt a thump in his heart as he thought to himself, ‘Could it be that Jonin has already met with some sort of mishap?’

‘But that shouldn’t be the case! They have already brought the pair of siblings from the Schulz family all the way to Kyoto without anyone’s knowledge at all. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has also been searching for both of them for so long without finding any clues whatsoever. So, how could they possibly have met with any mishaps, then? This does not make any sense at all!’

‘It would be logical if they were discovered when they were hiding the corpses in the Ito family mansion and were killed by Ito family’s men who were hiding in ambush. However, the main point was that they would not have decided to kill the pair of siblings from the Schulz family without getting my orders in advance! So, this rationale would also be without any reasoning at all!’

‘What is happening in Kyoto?!’

At this time, Yoshito, who had always been very confident about his plans and strategies, suddenly fell into self-doubt.

***

At this moment, Yoshito was not the only person who could not get the call through, but the same thing was happening to Machi, who had just lost his son.

Machi had already ordered the Fujibayashi family’s ninjas who were hiding in Kyoto to kill Nanako. He had even ordered them to take a video of them doing so.

After that, he would use this video to torture Yahiko so that Yahiko could die from the extreme pain and grief that he was feeling at that point.

However, the ninjas from the Fujibayashi family had not responded to him at all.

He was calling them so that he could ask them about their progress, but his call could not get connected at all. Even after contacting several different people, no one answered his calls at all.

When he saw that his calls could not get connected, Machi threw his cell phone down on the ground angrily before he shouted, “This is truly bizarre! This is really f*cking strange! Why did the invincible Fujibayashi ninjas suddenly become a bunch of useless garbage over these few days?!”

“When Masatetsu and his brothers disappeared out of the blue, they were finally sent back as human popsicles! Since there is no news at all from this batch of ninjas now, does that mean that they will also be sent back as human popsicles soon?!”

His subordinate hurriedly said, “Mr. Chairman, could it be that the ninjas from the Fujibayashi family have encountered some sort of ambush at the Ito family mansion?”

“Why the hell would there be an ambush?” Machi replied in annoyance, “We have already scouted the situation at the Ito family mansion beforehand. There is not even a single ninja in sight at the Ito family mansion in Kyoto. There are just a few housekeepers, servants, and some ordinary bodyguards stationed there. So, how could these people possibly set up an ambush for the Fujibayashi ninjas? Furthermore, there are six ninjas in total!”

After he was done speaking, Machi could not help but wonder, ‘What exactly happened in Kyoto?!’
