The samurai who had managed to rally his comrades earlier could see that they were getting restless again, and he yelled, "Gentlemen! What are we if not slaves to our family's fate?! And all we need is to succeed this one time, and they will live happily ever after! What do we have to fear—argh! My eyes!!!"He was halfway through his motivational speech when his vision abruptly turned black amidst a terrible pain.When he reached up, he could feel two solid plastic tubes sticking out of his eye sockets!The other samurai had almost been motivated and ready to follow him for a death charge, only for that rally call to turn into a scream.They turned toward the samurai and were horrified to watch as he bled crimson out of his eye sockets, his screams immediately blood-curdling!It was such a gruesome sight that Yoshitaka retched loudly while Kokomi had to look away in fear.Tanya herself was afraid to even look at the bodies at first, but now, the gruesome sight seemed to invoke her morb

As a global investor, the Mitsui Group wasn't just capable of forking 5 billion easily—they could say with no uncertainty that they could profit steadily with it.If Yoshitaka did as Charlie asked, that meant he was giving up on 780 million US dollars and basically giving him the money for free… and that was only if he did everything demanded flawlessly, or it would be 5.78 billion dollars in total loss.Yoshitaka would bawl if he could—as a businessman, profit was the only thing he cared about, and it was always an instinct for him to get the most out of any deal. Even if there was something to be lost, he would make sure to minimize said loss.Hence, he told Charlie, "Mr. Wade, the Mitsui Group is as influential as we are reputable. You really have nothing to worry about. I'll carry out your instructions to the letter…"Charlie nodded and shrugged. "Sure, I trust you. Like I said, you will have your money back if no issue surfaces in three years…"Pausing, he then asked, "Perhaps you

Everyone was shocked to see Hanzo kneeling before Charlie so respectfully.Naturally, neither Yoshitaka nor Kokomi knew who Hanzo was, as while the Iga ninjas and Hanzo were famous, no one actually knew what they looked like.After all, ninjas were specialized martial artists, but ambush tactics were their forte. The most important skill they trained was to do their best to stay unseen, concealing tools in normal clothing to either hurt or hide. Never exposing their true identity was their way to protect themselves.Yoshitaka certainly didn't expect the Iga ninjas, the top ninja clan in Japan, to show up in Tokyo Dome and salute Charlie, who was an Oskian on top of that.Still, he was relieved as he could see that with the ninjas' numbers and Charlie's near-divine abilities, he had a good chance of surviving the night.Charlie asked Hanzo just then, "How did things look outside when you came in?""There were over a dozen bodies before we got in here," Hanzo replied respectfully.

"Oshino Hakkai?!" Yoshitaka bellowed. "I said Tokyo Dome, and you're supposed to protect me! Who even mentioned Oshino Hakkai?!"The Mitsui residence was southwest of Tokyo, while Tokyo Dome was downtown. On the other hand, Oshino Hakkai was where Yoshitaka's father had retired, and it was near Mount Fuji and at least eighty kilometers southwest of the Mitsui residence! In short, Shinichi was going in the opposite direction!"But, Sir, Yoshiyasu called me," Shinichi explained. "He said your father's estate might be threatened and that I should head over right away…"Coming to his senses, he quickly barked coldly, "Fools! Turn around and come to Tokyo Dome right this instant! We're being attacked!"His face darkened as he hung up, his hand still shaking as he squeezed his phone in rage. "No… This can't be…The same brother who has always served me so well is trying to kill me?!""There are really a lot of things that don't cross your mind, huh?" Charlie chuckled, shaking his hea

That was when someone shouted from the entrance, "On my order, charge in there and kill Tanya Sweet! That's a billion dollars to whoever finishes her! Everyone else gets an extra billion to share, too! That's two billion, boys! Let's make this quick since we're here first! You'd be getting a few hundred grand even if we split it anyway!"The rest of the Yamaguchi-gai roared in excitement, with some whistling loudly.As they advanced together, the very floor quaked under their numbers.Still, arriving at the hallway, they found that it was pitch-black, and they couldn't see anything.That was when the Yamaguchi-gai members leading the charge screamed as the Iga ninjas attacked even before they could be seen, launching their poisoned shurikens in perfect synchrony down the hallway.It looked like a stormy rain of blades, taking down a dozen with just one wave!To the rear, the other Yamaguchi-gai were still running and hence tripped over their comrades as they fell dead on the floo
