The masked woman closed her eyes slowly. As confident as she was in her own strength, but Tang Xiu defeated her with very strange methods. She was really clueless whether what he said was true or false.
It was shameful! Shame was burning her heart like a fiery flame. To be captured and being a captive was the most painful thing she ever experienced in life.
At the other side, the fighting ended at a very rapid rate. Ichiro Yamamoto was shot dead and more than 40 Japanese ninjas lost their ability to fight back. Apart from four or five injured amongst them, the rest were all killed, whereas Tang Xiu’s subordinates, except for two wounded, all came out unscathed.
“How should we deal with them, Boss?”
Upon seeing Tang Xiu’s arrival, Zhong Tiekui’s eyes swept over toward Kuwako’s body on his shoulder before asking with a deep tone.
Tang Xiu replied with an indifferent expression, “Kill them all!”
“Understood!” Zhong Tiekui replied in a high tone.
As he was about to kill the assassins…
“Wait!”
Kuwako, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes and cried out.
Tang Xiu motioned Zhong Tiekui and threw her to the ground as he then spoke lightly, “What do you want to say?”
Kuwako glared at Tang Xiu and asked with a deep tone, “Who are you people?”
“You don’t need to know who we are. You only need to know that we’re your enemy. Yuan Zhengxuan is my friend. You wanted to deal with him, so you will naturally become my enemy.”
Kuwako nodded. Her gaze swept over the four or five severely wounded ninjas. After thinking for a few seconds, she looked at Tang Xiu again and said, “I’ll agree to one of your conditions, but you have to let them go.”
Tang Xiu sneered, “Conditions? What can you give me?”
“You have two options, for which you can choose one. Firstly, I can ransom them. Secondly, I’ll become your slave for three years if you let them go.”
Ransom money or becoming a slave?
Tang Xiu replied with an inconceivable expression, “I can understand ransom money as you should be a Yamamoto clan member. These ninjas should be from the Northstar One Blade School. But, I’ve never heard of becoming a slave nowadays.”
Wolf Head suddenly frowned as he quickly came to Tang Xiu’s side and spoke, “Boss, I know about the Northstar One Blade School. This school has a very unusual custom and each and every person there is very ruthless, yet they also have an iron law that, if the successor of the Schoolmaster of the Northstar One Blade School were to fall into the hands of the enemy, they would agree to become their enemy’s slave for three years in order to live. But three years later, the opposite party must return them back. Otherwise, the Northstar One Blade School will put everything on the stake to get revenge on the opposite party even if their school must face destruction.”
“This Northstar One Blade School is kind of strange, aren’t they?” replied Tang Xiu with astonishment.
Wolf Head forced a smile, “It’s the sick mentality of the Japanese, I think. How could ordinary people be able to understand them! I think that since we’ve killed so many people from their side, it’s best to just kill them all! Lest we leave future troubles behind!”
Tang Xiu thought for a moment before looking at Kuwako and saying, “How much ransom money will your Yamamoto clan and the Northstar One Blade School be willing to pay?”
Kuwako replied, “My life is worth 300 million USD, whereas their lives are worth 50 million USD. The five of them altogether would be 250 million USD. So the total ransom money is 550 million USD.”
550 million USD? More than 3 billion RMB?
Tang Xiu’s eyes flickered as he looked at Kuwako with a hard-to-believe expression. Although he was also rich and had total assets of more than 3 billion RMB, if he could get the money, he would be able to directly solve his financial crisis at present.
“Pa…”
Tang Xiu pulled out a cigarette from his pocket. The team leader quickly took his lighter to help him ignite it. After deeply inhaling, he then said slowly, “You’re the heir of the Yamamoto clan and also the future Schoolmaster of Northstar One Blade School?”
“That’s right,” answered Kuwako.
“Alright, how about we change the condition?” asked Tang Xiu laughed.
“I’ll only accept one of these two conditions. Anything else, you’d better kill us now!” Kuwako frowned and replied.
“Just listen to my words first and then decide whether you’ll comply or not,” said Tang Xiu.
Kuwako didn’t speak.
Tang Xiu then continued, “Be my subordinate. Later on, after you become my subordinate, this Tang Xiu will never limit your freedom and will also let you go back to Japan. However, you must carry out my orders in the future.”
“Dream on!” replied Kuwako in a cold voice.
Tang Xiu said indifferently, “I’m not asking you to be my subordinate in vain, I’ll give you benefits. The benefits are something that countless of people can never imagine even in their dreams.”
Kuwako shook her head, “I don’t lack anything. Give up thinking of buying me!”
Tang Xiu motioned the other people around them and they immediately scattered. After there was only Kuwako and him, Tang Xiu then slowly asked, “What do you think about my strength?”
