Kawashima Yosuke looked at the body of Qiuma Hongyi brought back by Xu Fei, a smug smile spreading across his face.
“The Qiuma family has been vying for territory with us in recent years, causing countless deaths among our brothers. Today, this will surely drive Qiuma Ming to rage!”
Under Kawashima Yosuke’s personal arrangements, two ninjas stealthily took Qiuma Hongyi’s body and infiltrated the Qiuma family’s grounds.
At that moment, Qiuma Ming was hunched over his desk, working. As the head of the Qiuma family, he wasn’t exactly basking in happiness.
He had piles of documents awaiting approval, and Qiuma Ming had been working non-stop for over ten hours, maintaining intense focus.
Feeling a bit exhausted, Qiuma Ming decided to take a break. But as he opened the door, he saw something black suddenly drop into the courtyard outside!
“What’s that noise? An enemy attack?”
Sensing something amiss, Qiuma Ming immediately became alert. With no one else around, he had to investigate himself.
When he approached, his eyes widened in shock. Before him lay the body of Qiuma Hongyi!
“Who… who did this?!”
Qiuma Hongyi was the most outstanding young talent of the Qiuma family in recent years. Losing such a figure for no reason—how could Qiuma Ming not be furious?
As he pounded his chest in anger, Qiuma Ming suddenly noticed a dart lodged in Qiuma Hongyi’s chest.
The dart wasn’t the key; the key was the unmistakable Kawashima family emblem on its tail.
Qiuma Ming understood immediately.
“So it’s you, Kawashima! I get it now! You’re set on a fight to the death this time, aren’t you, Kawashima Yosuke?!”
Fury blazed in Qiuma Ming’s eyes, ignited by the rage in his heart.
Like Kawashima Yosuke, Qiuma Ming soon convened a family meeting for the Qiuma clan, with a single goal in mind: the upcoming ancestral land dispute.
Regarding this ancestral land dispute, the Qiuma family had long established a rule. As the strongest of the three families on the surface, they had decided early on never to go all out in the annual contest.
Their strategy was to provoke fights and disputes between the Kawashima and Hengjiang families, allowing the Qiuma family to reap the benefits.
Initially, this plan worked smoothly, but later the Kawashima family caught on, and it became less effective.
That didn’t matter much. By the time the Kawashima family realised, years of ancestral land disputes had passed, and their strength had already been significantly weakened.
At today’s meeting, however, the attendees didn’t seem to take it seriously.
“Everyone, focus! This year’s ancestral land dispute is different. This time, we’re going to crush the Kawashima family, wipe them out completely on the ancestral land!”
Hearing their family head suddenly make such a bold statement, everyone was stunned at first, then asked,
“Family Head, we’ve never gone all out in previous years. Why the sudden change?”
Faced with their doubts and confusion, Qiuma Ming wasn’t particularly angry. After everyone had spoken, he slowly said,
“Because today, Qiuma Hongyi was killed—by the Kawashima family!”
