Chapter 592: Chapter 592: Steadily Advancing
On the other side.
The Family Head of the Yagyu Family, Yagyu Kenjiro, was so furious upon receiving the video sent by Chiba Mako that he smashed the communicator in his hand to pieces.
“Chiba Yichiryu, I swear I will not rest until I annihilate your entire clan!”
“Bring people over, I want the Chiba clan wiped out!”
“Father, wait!” Just then, a person rushed in front of Yagyu Kenjiro.
He was Yagyu Kenjiro’s son, Yagyu Takumi, the most outstanding person of his generation and the one being grood by Yagyu Kenjiro to be the next Family Head!
“Father, I think there is sothing fishy about this matter. The strongest of the Chiba clan, Chiba Yichiryu, is only a Sixth Grade Spirit Master. His strength is on par with Uncle Yagyu Yuudai. Even if he managed to defeat Uncle with the charm of the Beichen One Strike Style, it’s impossible for all of our n to be annihilated. Besides, how can it be that everyone died in such a short ti!”
“Moreover, the Chiba clan has never dared to confront us head-on. Faced with our relentless pressure, they have been continuously stepping back and yielding. How co they have suddenly beco so arrogant?”
Upon hearing this, Yagyu Kenjiro cald down as well.
“Do you an to say that this is a plot designed by Chiba Yichiryu for us?”
“I can’t guarantee it a hundred percent, but there is definitely sothing wrong with this matter.”
“If it is indeed a plot, then who is helping them from behind? Yagyu Yuudai is not so easily killed; his death so effortlessly ans that there must be a very powerful person behind it!”
Who could it be?
Yagyu Kenjiro recalled all the powerful figures in the Baka Federation.
Those capable of killing Yagyu Yuudai in such a short period of ti numbered no more than five people in the entire Baka Federation!
He was one, the patriarch of the Koizumi Family was another, and a ninja from the Hattori Family was another.
The other two have long retired and have stopped concerning themselves with worldly affairs; it couldn’t be them.
That left only the Koizumi and Hattori families.
Which one could it be from these two families?
Yagyu Takumi thought of this too and pondered for a mont before saying, “Father, could this be a double-edged sword played by the Koizumi Family?”
“The Koizumi Family?”
Yagyu Kenjiro furrowed his brows.
In his heart, he was actually more inclined to suspect the Koizumi Family.
Because the Koizumi Family is a political family that likes to play power politics. In their eyes, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. As long as soone can benefit them, they would collaborate with anyone.
Previously, the Koizumi Family had intentions to cooperate with the Chiba Family.
It was only after their Yagyu clan offered greater benefits that the Koizumi Family gave up on cooperating with the Chiba Family.
But to say they’ve given up – it’s not so certain what’s happening behind the scenes.
Moreover, given the nature of the Koizumi Family, they are very likely to play the ga of showing one thing but doing another.
After all, the real desire of the Koizumi Family is to control both the apparent political power and the actual power of battle.
The ambition of the Koizumi Family is notoriously great.
He might use the Chiba Family to weaken the power of the Yagyu Family. Eventually, he could reap the benefits of the fisherman, taking over both of the great families and becoming the largest family in the Baka Federation overnight.
“Father, we must remain calm at this ti. We cannot act rashly until the investigation is clear,” said Yagyu Takumi again.
Yagyu Kenjiro said, “Then are we just going to let the death of Yagyu Yuudai go?”
“Of course not. But before that, we must not act impulsively. The enemy has the power to kill a Sixth Grade, and unless you take action yourself, Father, it will be very hard to unravel their plot.”
“But if their plan is targeting you, Father, then you taking action would play right into their hands. Wouldn’t our Yagyu Family be in jeopardy…”
He stopped there.
Yagyu Kenjiro was a smart man and understood the implications.
His face turned very grim, not only because the Koizumi Family might be playing both sides, but it might even be possible that they were specifically targeting him.
“Whoever it is that dares to have designs on our Yagyu Family, I will make them pay with their life!”
After saying this, Yagyu Kenjiro imdiately gave orders to Yagyu Takumi, “Go and investigate who is behind helping the Chiba Family! Once found out, I will make them regret their decision!”
“Yes!”
Yagyu Takumi bowed respectfully and then left the room.
…
On the other side.
Xiao Zhan waited for a while but did not see anyone from the Yagyu Family coming.
He knew imdiately that he would not be seeing anyone today.
He packed up his things and prepared to leave.
“Mr. Xiao Ye, are you leaving now? Won’t you wait a bit longer?” Chiba Mako asked from behind.
“No need to wait. They won’t co.”
Xiao Zhan said without looking back.
He had hoped Yagyu Kenjiro would co so he could end things once and for all, but it appeared Yagyu Kenjiro was sowhat smart after all.
So, if that was the case, Xiao Zhan would have to execute his second plan.
He returned to the Chiba Family estate.
Chiba Yichiryu, now aware of Xiao Zhan’s strength, did not dare treat him with the sa attitude as before. Even as Xiao Zhan was at the door, he rushed out to greet him personally and arranged an extrely lavish banquet in the estate.
“Mr. Xiao Ye, with such formidable strength at a young age, I have never heard of soone like you in the entire Federation. May I have the honor to learn the esteed nas of your father or teacher?” Chiba Yichiryu humbly asked during the banquet.
Xiao Zhan’s demonstrated strength today had shocked him and, beyond the shock, also filled him with terror.
For so long in the Baka Federation, he had never heard of soone like Xiao Zhan!
This sudden arrival and powerful ergence made him doubt whether Xiao Zhan was really from the Baka Federation, or if he might be a spy planted by another Federation!
Therefore, he imdiately arranged for soone to investigate Xiao Zhan’s background.
But Xiao Zhan’s background was very clean; he couldn’t find any issues.
However, as the head of a family, one of the top families in the Baka Federation, how could he believe this surface information?
The more unproblematic the data was, the more problematic it seed.
Thus, he planned to probe Xiao Zhan personally.
In response to his probing, Xiao Zhan did not give any face, “Sorry, when I was told to venture out, my family instructed not to disclose their nas.”
Anyway, he was tight-lipped and unwilling to say a word.
With Xiao Zhan’s strength, Chiba Yichiryu dared not push too far.
Indeed, after Chiba Yichiryu probed a few more tis from the side and found that nothing worked on Xiao Zhan, he gave up.
