When Xu Fei hurried back, the situation was exactly as he’d predicted.
Kawashima Yosuke was surrounded, his face etched with fear.
“Hmph! Kawashima Yosuke! I don’t care what schemes you’ve cooked up with the Qiushan family, but today is your end!”
Kawashima Yosuke quickly explained, “Hengjiang Chuan, where did you hear that? I’ve never allied with the Qiushan family, I haven’t even seen them in ages!”
Hengjiang Chuan paused, realising he hadn’t seen anyone from the Qiushan family in a while either.
“That’s not the point! Alliance or not, let’s just say old man Qiushan Ming is dead!”
“But today is the ancestral land dispute, I brought my people, yet where’s our Hengjiang family’s guard team? Explain that!”
Hengjiang Chuan hit the crux of the matter, leaving Kawashima Yosuke speechless.
Their ambush was set near the heart of the ancestral land, and when Hengjiang Chuan’s forces charged in, the first they saw were Kawashima’s people and Yosuke himself.
Otherwise, Kawashima Yosuke could’ve played dumb, but now it was too late for excuses.
“Well…”
“Well what? If you, Kawashima Yosuke, want to dominate alone, fine, but it’s clear you’ve got the guts but not the strength!”
Hengjiang Chuan sneered. Though the mist had initially disoriented them, costing some manpower, those lost were just ordinary fighters. Now, with only a hundred left, each was an elite ninja.
With such a skilled force, Hengjiang Chuan found commanding easier.
In the battles that followed, he led the Hengjiang ninjas triumphantly, cutting through to the ancient god statue.
Sweat dripped from Kawashima Yosuke’s face, and he was helpless.
“Damn my big mouth, I shouldn’t have boasted, Xu Fei isn’t back yet, what do I do?”
“Silent, huh? Fine, I’ll start cutting them down one by one, see how long you can hold out!”
Hengjiang Chuan was ruthless. Knowing small fry were pointless, he waved his hand, personally seizing Kawashima Miki!
“Dad, save me!”
Kawashima Miki only realised her plight when captured. Yosuke moved to rescue her but was quickly forced back by Hengjiang’s men!
“Hengjiang Chuan, keep our grudges between us, let my daughter go!”
Hengjiang Chuan snorted, “Think I’m stupid? No relation? She’s a Kawashima, isn’t she? That’s relation enough!”
“I’ll count to five. If you don’t surrender, watch her head roll!”
Hengjiang Chuan raised a large blade, his eyes brimming with killing intent.
Kawashima Yosuke’s face paled. Though silent, he was ready.
Surrender was impossible. Beyond being Miki’s father, he was the Kawashima family head.
His surrender would mean the entire family’s surrender, unthinkable!
But as Miki’s father, Kawashima Yosuke would never abandon her.
