Chapter 572: This Mr. Ye is Quite Extraordinary!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The cruise finally stopped at the port of Nagasaki.
The name Nagasaki was rather famous around the world. The name originated from an atomic bomb that had been dropped here in the last century!
The area within ten kilometers of Nagasaki was almost destroyed. Even after decades, there were still many traces of the explosion.
After Ye Chen walked out of the cruise s.h.i.+p, he extended his Divine Consciousness to observe the place. He had lived two lives, but this was his first time in this city!
If not for Night Demon, he might never set foot on this land!
However, he only gave it a casual glance as his ultimate goal was not Nagasaki, but f.u.kuoka City, which was also part of Kyushu Island. They were almost two hundred kilometers apart!
He was going there as Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko had previously mentioned on the phone that she and Miyamoto Take were currently hiding on a small island in f.u.kuoka City.
…
At the port of Nagasaki, Luo Yao could not help but mutter after watching Ye Chen leave, “This Mr. Ye is quite extraordinary. He didn’t even say goodbye before he left!”
“He’s just an ordinary person. Why are you paying so much attention to him?” Tang Jianfeng frowned.
He was not jealous of Ye Chen!
After all, in his eyes, there were not many people in this world that he and Luo Yao paid special attention to, let alone Ye Chen, who was an ordinary person to him.
The only reason they had interacted on the cruise was because they were in a good mood.
Luo Yao said thoughtfully, “Didn’t you notice that Mr. Ye has always been calm and collected from the beginning to the end? He’s neither servile nor overbearing. Even when facing my men, he kept calm and composed.”
At the end of her sentence, she added, “I’ve only felt such an aura from my father.”
“You mean this person is also from the cultivation world?”
Tang Jianfeng shook his head and said, “I don’t think so. Don’t forget that the Tang family is very sensitive to aura. Few people can hide their cultivation base from me.”
“Maybe I’m overthinking!”
Luo Yao nodded in agreement. A sly smile appeared in the depths of her bright eyes, “Do you think he found out that I was disguised as a man and was too shocked by my beauty to talk to me?”
Tang Jianfeng looked helpless, “Let’s go. We need to eat something first.”
…
s.h.i.+ka Island was a small island located in the northwest of f.u.kuoka City. The island was less than ten kilometers in area and was famous for its seafood production due to its proximity to the sea. Tourism and fishery were their main attractions!
At this moment, a fis.h.i.+ng boat was advancing extremely slowly on the sea. The loud engine shocked countless seagulls, and the black smoke that floated out of the boat rushed into the sky like a huge chimney.
“Master Miyamoto, why isn’t master here yet? I feel like there have been quite a number of outsiders on the island recently. I wonder if they’re from our family!”
Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko, who was dressed like a fisherman, sat on the deck. She stretched her flawless, fair feet and dipped in the water in boredom.
She purposely used the charcoal to smear her face. A hint of worry and anxiety appeared on her face. Even so, it was difficult to hide her beautiful features.
Beside her stood an old man in a straw cape. The old man’s face was withered, and his face was slightly pale. Clearly, he had suffered internal injuries.
If there were outsiders present, they would be shocked to discover that the old man was the famous Sword Master, Miyamoto Take, who was only half a step away from becoming a Sword Sage.
“I don’t know either!”
Faced with Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko’s worries, Miyamoto Take sighed faintly.
A thin figure appeared in his mind!
On that day in Hong Kong, he had been invited by Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko to travel across the ocean to deal with that figure. He had thought that he would be able to kill that man easily with the help of the five powerhouses from different countries!
Unexpectedly, the man was incomparably fierce, killing the four of them as if he was the reincarnation of the G.o.d of battle. If not for him and Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko decisively choosing to submit to him at the crucial moment, they would have been decapitated long ago!
The figure had shocked him too greatly!
Even though he had been back in j.a.pan for a few months, he could not shake the image of the man. He was so shocked that he dared not have any rebellious thoughts even though Ye Chen was not by his side. Instead, he even cooperated with Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko to complete the mission that Ye Chen gave her.
A few days ago, he had personally led a group of people to intercept an item. He had never thought that he would encounter a powerhouse who would cause his operation to fail. In fact, the matter had even been exposed. Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko had fallen into the hands of the Chiba family. It was also him who had led Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko out of the capture and hid here after much effort.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
At this point, he could not help but cough violently. His face flushed.
“Master Miyamoto, are you alright?” Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko asked anxiously.
“I’m fine!”
Miyamoto Take shook his head slightly. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, his gaze unintentionally caught sight of over 10 black figures swiftly flas.h.i.+ng over from a distance. His expression suddenly changed, “Ms. Chiba, bad news! We’ve been discovered!”
Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko followed his gaze and her pretty face instantly turned pale!
On the hazy surface of the sea, some ten black figures rushed over like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. In a few breaths of time, these people were less than 20 steps away from the fis.h.i.+ng boat.
When they looked again, these people were all wearing straw raincoats and bamboo hats, covering their faces and bodies tightly. They were silent and still, and the j.a.panese swords in their hands flickered with cold gleam, as if they wanted to split the surrounding fog apart!
“Ninjas!
They’re ninjas from my family!”
At this moment, Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko’s face was filled with despair!
She came from the Chiba family, naturally, she knew how powerful the ninjas the family secretly trained were. Especially the dozen or so heaven-cla.s.s ninjas before her, they could definitely kill any Martial Dao masters!
At the next moment, a grim voice came from afar, “My good sister, you sure know where to hide. I spent a lot of effort looking for you!”
Following the voice, a young man in a black suit slowly walked out of the white fog on the waves. The young man’s cheekbones were protruding, he looked extremely ugly. The corner of his lips revealed a cruel grin.
Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko said in a trembling voice, “Chiba Masawa, I’m the traitor of the Chiba family now, and I’m no longer the heir. Why can’t you let me go? Why must you force me to do what I don’t want to do?”
“Let you go?”
Chiba Masawa grinned coldly and rubbed his ugly face as he spoke, “My good sister, have you forgotten? You destroyed my face with a whip half a year ago. How can I not repay you?”
Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko was instantly rendered speechless!
Half a year ago, she was the successor of the Chiba family. Her status was great, and she could be said to be the person who ranked second in the family after the family master. She controlled the lives of countless people, and her cousin, Chiba Masawa, was one of them.
The Chiba family had been in business for hundreds of years, and there were clear rules that prohibited the use of drugs, not even marijuana. However, Chiba Masawa had used his ident.i.ty as Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko’s cousin to secretly consume heroin and was even suspected of smuggling drugs.
Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko punished him with 80 lashes following the family rules.
“My dear sister, it’s useless to say anything now. Come back with me obediently and accept the punishment from the family master. I advise you not to resist!”
Chiba Masawa pressed on.
Just at this moment, a cold gleam flashed across the sky. Miyamoto Take stood with his sword in his hand, “Ms. Chiba, you go first. I’ll cover your retreat!”
“Taking cover?”
Chiba Masawa grinned coldly, “Miyamoto-san, do you really think I didn’t predict your existence? I’ve chosen a great opponent for you!”
