Chapter 1785

Neither Yoshito nor Machi could understand what was happening in Kyoto.

However, Yoshito was much smarter compared to Machi.

After he was unable to contact Jonin, although he could not understand why, he subconsciously realized that there was probably some sort of big mistake.

As he thought about this, Yoshito hurriedly called the other members of the Iga family and immediately asked them about Jonin’s situation.

However, the people from the Iga family were also all completely ignorant of everything that was going on in Kyoto.

They could not get in touch with Jonin, and they did not even know if he was dead or alive.

Yoshito was genuinely panicking at this time.

He paced back and forth in the living room of his home anxiously. His brows were constantly knitted together, and his hand was shaking uncontrollably as he held the cigar.

When his younger brother, Ryosuke, saw him being extremely nervous, he hurriedly calmed him down, “Brother, you should not start panicking now. If you start panicking now, all of us will surely be at a loss for what to do!”

Machi intended to deal with Nanako, and unlike Yoshito, Machi had nothing to do with everything that had happened to the Schulz family. Therefore, it did not matter even if Machi’s motivation was revealed.

The strength of the Ito family and the Takahashi family were basically on par, so, Machi was not afraid of Yahiko at all.

However, Yoshito knew very well in his heart that if his motives and what he had done were revealed, he would not only need to face the behemoth from the Schulz family, but he would also need to face the Ito and Takahashi family.

So, after taking a puff of his cigar, he told Ryosuke, “I am betting all of our chips on this hand that I am playing right now. If I win, the Matsumoto family will become the top and most influential family in Japan. But if I lose, the Matsumoto family will certainly be driven to death by the three wealthy and influential families, namely; the Schulz family, the Ito family, and the Takahashi family!”

As he spoke, Yoshito could not hide his nervousness as he said, “I cannot contact Jonin at all now, so I do not know if Jaime and Sophie are dead or alive. I don't even know if our motivation and involvement in this matter have already been revealed or not. It would be fine if our motivation and involvement were not revealed. At most, we could just discard the big plan of pinning the blame onto Yahiko first. However, if our motivation and involvement in this matter have already been revealed, we will basically have no other way out of this matter, then.”

Ryosuke hurriedly asked, “Brother! We do not know if we have already been exposed or not now, but are we going to just sit back and wait for the verdict, then? Wouldn’t that be a little too passive? Even if we are to die, we will have to think of a way to fight back. We cannot give up just like that!”

Yoshito thought for a moment before he gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Of course, we will have to resist! Since we cannot determine the results of our first hand, we will have to bet on our backup plan!”

Ryosuke asked, “Brother, what is our backup plan?”

Yoshito replied in a very stern manner, “I will bet that the Schulz family has not found out about our motives or involvement in this matter yet. This way, we will have to go all out to get rid of both Machi and Yahiko first! We will only have the opportunity to become the top family in Japan after getting rid of both of them!”

“Ahh?! Get rid of them?” Ryosuke asked in amazement, “Shouldn’t we be thinking of a way to deal with the Schulz family instead?”

Yoshito shook his head and said, “It is wishful thinking for us to even try and deal with the Schulz family. With their strength and power, as soon as they make us their target, there will be no way for us to resist them in any way anymore.”

As he spoke, Yoshito continued, “However, Machi is certainly at his weakest right now. After all, he has lost a few of his ninjas, and his son is also dead. It is the perfect time for us to kill him! We can send the ninjas from the Iga family to kill him now! After all, the Iga family is already in the same boat as us!”

Ryosuke asked again, “What about Yahiko, then? How are you going to kill him? It seems as though he did not lose any strength or suffer any huge losses at all.”

Yoshito gritted his teeth and said, “Then, we can only attack him directly! We can kidnap a few of the family members of the police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department before forcing these police officers to go up to the Ito family mansion and force Yahiko to come to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department with them to assist in their investigation in the case regarding the Schulz siblings. As long as Yahiko leaves his house, we will be able to attack him, then!”

Ryosuke continued asking, “Brother, what if the Schulz family finds out about us?”

Yoshito had a vicious expression on his face as he said, “We are dead anyway if the Schulz family has truly found out about our involvement in this matter. So, since we are going to die anyway, why shouldn’t we drag Machi and Yahiko down with us?”
