“Kazuo?!” Hanzo was suddenly very excited and he hurriedly asked, “Kazuo, where are you now? I saw the news and they all said that you kidnapped the eldest young master of the Fox family. What the hell is going on?!”Kazuo hurriedly said, “Father, it’s a long story at this point. We were tricked by that employer! He tricked us into coming to New York and he actually wanted us to kidnap Master Wade’s woman!”“What?!” Hanzo felt everything going dark before his eyes and he was trembling as he asked, “Master Wade… Was it the same Charlie Wade who was up on Mount Wintry in Eastcliff that day and shocked the entire Ten Thousand Armies with his own power?” Kazuo blurted out, “It’s him!”“Baka!” Hanzo cursed desperately, “You b*stard! All of Master Wade’s women were all present up on Mount Wintry that day. Didn’t you recognize them?! Hurry up and tell me! Did you offend Master Wade’s woman?!”Kazuo hurriedly said, “No, Father! How could I possibly dare to do anything to Master Wade’s wo
In the Iga ninja clan, both the ninjas and their family members had been enforcing military management for hundreds of years, with very strict management from top to bottom.Therefore, when Hanzo gave the order, the whole clan began their intensive preparations immediately. All the ninjas put down all of their affairs immediately and they rushed to school to pick up all the children who were attending school. Some of the elderly who were hospitalized due to illness were also picked up from the hospital by their families, as long as their lives were not in danger.All the female family members began packing their luggage quickly at home. Everyone followed Hanzo’s orders strictly and they only brought necessities and small valuables with them, leaving the rest at home, even if they knew that they might not be able to return here in their lifetime. They were not allowed to bring a large amount of luggage. Originally, a five-hour evacuation time was scheduled but the entire Iga ninja
Spencer said coldly, “Make sure to control the head of the Iga ninjas as well as the other key people! Cut off all their ears for me first when the time comes!”The person in charge said without hesitation, “Don’t worry, Master! We’ll definitely complete the task!”However, the person in charge never would have dreamt that Porter had already disclosed an anonymous message to the Japan Homeland Security Department a few hours ago that an overseas force of over a hundred people would infiltrate Iga City that night to create a terrorist attack.According to the original workflow of the Japanese Homeland Security Department, they would have to analyze the reliability of the information first in a systematic manner, and confirm that the credibility of the information was high enough before they would make advance deployment based on the information intelligence. However, the mysterious person who had revealed this information to them only said one thing that put the entire Homeland Sec
Most of the experts sent by the Fox family were martial arts experts from all over the world.In addition to Oskian martial arts experts, there were many experts who had studied martial arts from other countries.In the field of international martial arts, there was Korea’s taekwondo, Japanese karate and ninjutsu, Thai boxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, as well as Western boxing and actual combat from Europe and the United States. All of these had their own place and they were all very popular martial arts directions.However, most of these martial arts from other countries did not have a complete internal strength method and most of them simply found a little internal strength by accident.And many Oskian martial arts schools had gradually lost their internal strength methods. So, there was no real big gap between their actual combat ability with that of other martial arts. At this stage, there were also many other martial arts experts from other countries who could raise their own st
However, this was also why the Japanese Homeland Security Department had been condemned wildly by the domestic public.The department could only suppress its anger, and they had always been trying to find an opportunity to turn things around. However, Japan was currently peaceful inside and out, and there was no stage for them to play.The Ito family had become the number one family in the country with an absolute advantage, and several major ninja forces were also attached and dependent on the Ito family. As a result, the internal fighting between the big families and the ninja forces had also stopped completely. And ever since Rosalie’s escape, no powers abroad have chosen to focus on Japan and the entire Homeland Security Department was suddenly placed on the pillar of shame.So, the mysterious tip-off this time became the key to the entire Homeland Security Department to turn things around!***Iga City was in itself a very small city. Even though it was called a city, it wa
When the others heard him say so, they did not ponder further about it anymore.However, at this time, there was not even a single dog in the large Iga County Castle, yet, it was brightly lit.Just two hours ago, Nanako had instructed the Koga ninjas to sneak into Iga County Castle to disguise it as if it was inhabited and also to prepare a superb gift for the experts from the Fox family.This group of experts from the Fox family was unaware of this deception, and they scattered in all directions in the night as they effortlessly tumbled through the outer wall, moving into the outer wall of Iga Country Castle.Meanwhile, the anti-terrorism unit was monitoring the group’s movements closely through the drones deployed hundreds of meters above the ground. When the person in charge of the scene saw them sneaking into Iga County Castle swiftly, he asked the commander for instructions immediately, “Sir, the targets have all entered Iga County Castle. All the helicopters are ready and our
The Iga ninjas who were sitting on the plane to the United States were still in a somewhat somber mood.Their clan had survived in Japan for hundreds of years, but this would be the first time that their entire clan was fleeing from their homeland. Many of them were still longing for the time when they would be able to return to their homeland.However, they never would have dreamt that their home, which was centuries old, had already been blown to pieces under Charlie’s instructions.The fire was still burning wildly, and at this time, the group of experts from the Fox family had been killed and injured, but all those who had been injured in the explosion were unable to escape. As for those who had managed to escape the explosion and the fire, they were still in shock. All of a sudden, they realized that several helicopters were flying around and there were elite anti-terrorist soldiers with loaded ammunition hanging from both sides of the helicopter. The bodies of these anti-t
This news suddenly became explosive news in Japan overnight.After a few months of calm since the last Tokyo chaos, no one would have expected that there would be a new terrorist attack today.Fortunately, their special forces were brave and good at fighting, managing to avoid the tragedy.This was truly a great relief to many Japanese people, and it also changed their impression of the Japanese Homeland Security Department.However, there were still many people who could not understand why those terrorists who had come from abroad had not targeted big cities like Tokyo, Osaka, or Nagoya, but would instead find a sh*tty godforsaken place between Osaka and Nagoya to carry out a terrorist attack.This question also resonated with a lot of people on the internet. Everyone really could not figure it out. It was akin to a group of well-organized thieves who had traveled thousands of miles to your house but had not stolen anything, simply taking an egg from the chicken coop.The Japa
Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h
Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des
As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside
Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e
Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott
Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his
Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worry—it's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use
Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien Rothschild… A friend of mine from the states…"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.
Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause trouble—I'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do
