Chapter 1781

Sophie’s self-esteem was once again hurt because of Charlie’s attitude.

She looked at Charlie’s side profile as she bit her lower lip without saying anything else anymore. After that, she turned around and left the courtyard with her brother.

After the pair of siblings had staggered out of the courtyard, Jaime asked in a soft voice, “Sophie, were all of those ninjas defeated by that young man just now?”

Sophie replied solemnly, “He is not ‘that young man’. He is our benefactor.”

Jaime nodded in a hurry as he said, “Yes, okay. He is indeed our benefactor. So, Sophie, did our benefactor defeat all of those ninjas with his bare hands, then?”

“Yes.” Sophie replied earnestly, “I have never seen such a strong and powerful person… this is truly the first time…”

Jaime smacked his lips together as he said, “It would be great if we could take him into the Schulz family and get him to work for us!”

“That is impossible.” Sophie shook his head before she said, “Our benefactor has such a tough and unruly temperament, thus, he is certainly not the kind of person who would work for someone else. Moreover, he might be one of those top masters from a hidden sect. So, why would he even attach any importance to the Schulz family?”

Jaime replied resentfully, “Well, that is also right… ahh… it is all thanks to our benefactor. Otherwise, both of us would have to die in Kyoto, then…”

After he was done speaking, Jaime hurriedly said, “By the way, Sophie, hurry up and give Dad a call! Since both of us were kidnapped, our family must have sent a lot of masters over to Tokyo to look for us. It is very likely that Dad is also in Tokyo! We have to let him know that we are here in Kyoto as soon as possible. At the same time, we have to ask Dad to hurry up and deal with that b*stard, Matsumoto Yoshito! I did not expect that b*stard to be the mastermind behind this treacherous and vicious act!”

Sophie nodded. After that, she quickly took out the cell phone.

Right then, a huge fire suddenly appeared behind them, turning the originally dark night bright red instead!

Sophie hurriedly turned around and saw that the small two-story building that she had nearly died in earlier had already been ignited and engulfed by the huge flames in an instant!

The wooden building burned brightly, and there was the crackling sound of wood cracking apart, and it sounded a little like fireworks. Coupled with the heavy snow, it actually felt a little like the New Year celebration.

Jaime touched his chin before he asked Sophie, “Sophie, do you think that those ninjas are already dead?”

Sophie asked him in return, “Do you think that they would be able to survive such a big fire?”

Jaime waved his hand before he said, “That is not what I meant. Do you think that our benefactor killed them first before setting them on fire, or do you think that he simply set them on fire so that they could burn to death?”

Sophie suddenly felt chills running down her back. She shook her head immediately before she said, “This kind of thing… is not something that I can say…”

With that, Charlie’s figure suddenly appeared in her mind again, and she could not help but mutter, “Our benefactor, he… he is indeed not an ordinary person. I really want to find out about his identity…”

Jaime laughed before he said, “If you want to uncover his identity, you can simply ask our family to look into this matter, then. Is there anyone’s identity or status that we cannot determine in Oskia?”

Sophie shook her head. “Our benefactor clearly does not want us to find out about his identity. What if we make him angry and incur his wrath if we try to investigate and look into his identity?”

Jaime smacked his lips together and said, “Oh, that’s right…”

Having said that, Jaime suddenly thought of Charlie’s conversation with Jonin before this, and he said, “By the way, when I still had the gunny sack over my head just now, I heard our benefactor telling the people from the Iga family that he is a friend of the eldest young lady from the Ito family, right?”

“Oh, that’s right!” Sophie nodded before she blurted out, “The reason why he came all the way here was because of Yahiko’s daughter.”

Jaime replied, “It seems as though her name is Nanako, right?”

“Yes.” Sophie said, “Her name is Ito Nanako, and she is a very beautiful girl. She is also a professional combat and fighting athlete.”

Jaime started gossiping, “Hey, Sophie, do you think that our benefactor might actually be Nanako’s boyfriend? Perhaps he might even end up becoming the future son-in-law of the Ito family in the future. If we choose to collaborate and work together with Yahiko more, we might have the opportunity to see our benefactor again, then.”

Sophie suddenly felt very uncomfortable when she heard this.

She felt extremely disappointed and upset as she asked herself, ‘Could it be that our benefactor is indeed Nanako’s boyfriend? Our benefactor is an Oskian. So, why is he together with a Japanese woman?! Shouldn’t he fall in love, get married to, and have children with an Oskian woman instead?’

As she thought about this, Sophie could not help but sigh faintly as she said, “I will give Dad a call first…”

“Okay.” Jaime nodded before he bent over and grabbed a handful of snow. After that, he smeared it on his face before he exclaimed emotionally, “Ahh! It feels so good to be the lucky survivor of a horrible disaster…”
