“Tianlong, listen to your father. Don’t focus on that Jiang Wuming anymore. He won’t live long.”
Hearing the usually proud and self-righteous Gu Tianlong admit his mistake, Gu Lü’s anger subsided slightly. He spoke again, his tone no longer as harsh as before.
“Never mind anything else, just this matter. That samurai from the Ninja country, Sato No, was definitely not after Chu Wansong of the Qingzi faction. He wanted to kill Jiang Wuming!
Because Jiang Zhan had once bloodbathed the War God Hall’s hunting team base and killed Sato Jin, the strongest martial arts prodigy of the Ninja country back then!
Since the Sato family took the lead in attacking that Jiang Wuming, most of Jiang Zhan’s other enemies will likely follow suit!
Moreover, even though the Sato family didn’t kill Jiang Wuming this time, they probably won’t give up and will continue to retaliate later!
Think about it, how many enemies did Jiang Zhan make back then?
Even if that Jiang Wuming had nine lives like a cat, he wouldn’t have enough to die!”
“Father, what you taught me is right, I was muddled.”
Gu Tianlong admitted his mistake again, but he was not resigned.
This was because he already knew about Jiang Wuming crossing the border to kill Tiger, a feat he could not accomplish!
“Jiang Wuming, I hope you will be a shrinking turtle next. Don’t go abroad to court death, and wait for me to emerge from seclusion to personally send you on your way!”
After ending the call with his father, Gu Lü, Gu Tianlong quietly clenched his fists.
Even though he knew Gu Lü was right and Jiang Wuming wouldn’t live long, he still wanted to find a suitable opportunity to deal with Jiang Wuming himself!
…
Ninja country, Kyoto, an ancient mansion.
“Is Sato No an idiot? How could he kidnap ordinary citizens of the Dragon Country?”
The head of the Sato family, Sato Tenichi, had learned of Sato No’s failed mission and death, but he felt no pity for Sato No’s demise. Instead, he was furious.
“Patriarch, he must have used that Dragon Country citizen as a hostage to force that Jiang Wuming to appear…”
Sato No’s father, kneeling at the door, defended his son with a grim expression.
“Foolish!”
Sato Tenichi interrupted him angrily. “He might as well have assassinated that Jiang Wuming directly! If he had assassinated Jiang Wuming, even if he was wanted by the Dragon Country’s Martial Department, it would have been better than this outcome!”
“Yes, you are right, he is too foolish!”
Seeing Sato Tenichi’s anger, Sato No’s father dared not argue further. He lowered his head, assuming a posture of admitting his mistake.
Just then, another middle-aged man in ninja attire arrived at the room entrance and respectfully bowed to Sato Tenichi. “Patriarch.”
“What is it?” Sato Tenichi asked coldly.
“The Dragon Country’s Martial Department has sent a letter to the Empire’s Martial Department regarding Sato No’s kidnapping of Dragon Country nationals and his attempt to harm a Dragon Country martial artist, demanding an explanation and an apology from the Empire’s Martial Department and the Sato family!”
The middle-aged man was the intelligence chief of the Sato family and the Sanhe Association. He was kneeling on the ground, reporting cautiously, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
“Baka!”
Upon hearing this, Sato Tenichi became enraged, exuding a terrifying aura. The wooden table in front of him instantly shattered, turning into a pile of debris.
Swish! Swish!
Sato No’s father and the Sato family’s intelligence chief’s expressions changed simultaneously, their faces paling, and they dared not even breathe heavily, terrified.
“Ding—”
At this moment, Sato Tenichi’s private phone rang.
Sato Tenichi picked up the phone with a cold expression and found that the caller was the head of the Ninja Country Martial Society. He waved his hand.
Sato No’s father and the Sato family’s intelligence chief immediately withdrew, heaving a sigh of relief at the same time.
“Hello, Lord Amamiya Takehiro.”
Sato Tenichi adjusted his emotions and answered the phone, his tone extremely respectful.
This was because the Ninja Country Martial Society, like the Dragon Country’s Martial Department, was a special organization managing the martial artists of the Ninja Country, and wielded immense power in the Ninja Country.
And Amamiya Takehiro, in addition to his official capacity, was also one of the two five-star War Gods of the Ninja Country, with terrifying strength that Sato Tenichi could not afford to offend!
“Mr. Sato, how could Sato No sneak into the Dragon Country and kidnap Dragon Country citizens? Has your Sato family gone mad?”
Amamiya Takehiro got straight to the point, expressing his dissatisfaction.
“I apologize, Lord Amamiya Takehiro. The Sato family has caused trouble for you and the Martial Society.”
Sato Tenichi did not dare to lie or argue, but apologized directly.
“Mr. Sato, you should know about the Dragon Country’s Martial Department’s letter, right?”
Seeing Sato Tenichi’s sincere apology, Amamiya Takehiro’s anger lessened, and he did not continue to flare up.
“Yes, Lord Amamiya Takehiro, I just learned about this matter, but I haven’t seen the letter yet,” Sato Tenichi replied truthfully.
“Mr. Sato, it doesn’t matter if you’ve seen the letter or not. What’s important is that this matter must be handled.”
Amamiya Takehiro said in a deep voice, “Later, the Martial Society will reply to the Dragon Country’s Martial Department regarding the kidnapping of the Dragon Country citizen by Sato No, and simultaneously release the content of the letter to the public.”
“Lord Amamiya Takehiro, how do you plan to reply?” Sato Tenichi asked.
“Because the Martial Society did not manage the Ninja Country’s martial artists strictly and was negligent for a moment, this incident occurred.”
Amamiya Takehiro first provided an answer and then gave instructions, “At the same time, the Sato family must declare that this incident was Sato No’s personal behavior, but the Sato family bears responsibility. Therefore, we hereby apologize to the Dragon Country’s Martial Department and guarantee that similar incidents will not happen in the future!”
“Lord Amamiya Takehiro, do we really need to do this? Back then, Sato Jin was killed by Jiang Zhan of the Dragon Country. Neither Jiang Zhan himself nor the Dragon Country’s Martial Department apologized to us for that incident!”
Sato Tenichi frowned, somewhat unwilling, and simultaneously brought up the matter from back then.
This was because if he did as Amamiya Takehiro suggested, the Sato family, and even the entire Ninja Country Martial Society, would lose face!
“Mr. Sato, back then, not only did Jiang Zhan not apologize to the Empire’s Martial Society, but he also didn’t apologize to any country, or even the War God Hall. He occupied the moral high ground, and the Dragon Country’s Martial Department strongly supported him. Even Zhuge Lingjun, who was known as invincible in the human world, personally intervened!”
Amamiya Takehiro said in a low voice, “This matter is different. The fault lies entirely with Sato No. He openly violated the regulations of the War God Hall and caused an extremely bad impact!”
“Lord Amamiya Takehiro, the Sato family clarifies that this incident was Sato No’s personal behavior, unrelated to the Sato family and the Empire’s Martial Society. What do you think of this arrangement?”
Sato Tenichi pondered for a moment and voiced his thoughts.
“No!”
Amamiya Takehiro flatly refused.
“Lord Amamiya Takehiro, are you worried about what the Dragon Country’s Martial Department might do? Personally, I think even if we don’t apologize, the Dragon Country’s Martial Department won’t do anything!”
Sato Tenichi argued with conviction.
“Mr. Sato, your perception of the Dragon Country is still stuck in the 1930s and 1940s.”
Amamiya Takehiro reprimanded, “The Dragon Country is no longer the sleeping lion it once was, that could be bullied by the Empire!
The Dragon Country has been revitalized, and the Dragon Country’s Martial Department is the most powerful martial arts organization in the world!
If we don’t apologize, the Dragon Country’s Martial Department will definitely send people over, and it might even be that martial maniac Qi Wufu himself!
If things really escalate to that point, it won’t just be a matter of apologizing; it will trigger combat, or even war!
Whether it’s combat or war, the Empire has no hope of winning!!”
“Lord Amamiya Takehiro, I will follow your instructions.”
Sato Tenichi was speechless and could not refute.
Eighty years ago, the Ninja Country army burned, killed, and looted on the land of the Dragon Country, committing heinous crimes.
Today.
The Ninja Country Martial Society and the Sato family both apologized to the Dragon Country’s Martial Department and the concerned parties for Sato No’s kidnapping of Chu Weiyang and his attempt to harm a Dragon Country martial artist!
This is because the current Dragon Country absolutely does not allow any foreign force to bully, oppress, or enslave the people of the Dragon Country!
Anyone who dares to do so will be met with severe consequences!
This is the might of a great nation!
