Yukinari sinal warriors were masters, yet you easily defeated therip My ar to break”
The moment the three of them entered the pub, the noisy room immediately turned silent as everyone immediately looked towards them
A person who looked like the shopkeeper frantically ran over He then threw hi out loud Yukinari's face looked calhtiness
When Rody and Nedis did not say anything, Yukinari could not help but whisper to Nedis, ”Speak up According to custom, I am not supposed to speak to these untouchables, on such occasions”
I Master of Kikukawa fa to come?”
There was a moment of silence and then there was an uproar
'The Kikukawa farant warriors shouted and rushed forward There were also those that ran into each other and started cursing each other
The Kikukawa family was the most prominent family of the dwarfs Those ere recruited would receive a lifetirant warriors in dire straits ih and shouted loudly
When the irritable ones saw that they were blocked by others in front of thelared at each other
”Keep quiet!” Rody shouted, ”Everyone, keep quiet!”
A sturdy warrior at the side also roared, ”Everyone, keep quiet! You are alltoo much noise! It is rude!”
That warrior seemed authoritative at that place His voice was also loud Within a short moment, the pub quietened down
The warrior sounded pleased with himself as he loudly said, ”The Kikukawa fa for theso noisy! Whoever considers himself the bravest warrior, then speak with his katana!”
He then pulled out his long and thin katana, swung a few times in the air and said, ”Let the best man win”
That person was probably skillful as nobody else said anything after he spoke He was obviously satisfied with everybody’s reaction He then turned around and looked at Yukinari and the others He then said, ”My na the Kikukawa family?”
Rody narrowed his eyes to look at thefrom his appearance, he seemed quite skillful He nodded and said, ”Well, we only need six people You count yourself as one and you help us to pick the re five”
The moment Rody said those words, the audience i Sory ones pulled out their weapons There were evento be selected
Yukinari seemed to be accustomed to that scene He took a white jade plate from his pocket and threw it on the floor He then said to Hideyoshi+, ”When you are done here, go outside the city and find us”
Hideyoshi+ respectfully picked up the white jade plate He wiped it with the corner of his clothes, before carefully putting it away
The three of them then left the noisy pub filled with dispute They saw that Hideyoshi+ had quite a bit of ability and was sure that he would be able to deal with it
Rody s an influential identity is really useful If ere to look for people on our own, most probably they would not even look at us”
Yukinari see To be in service of the Kikukawa fadooes out, even the local officials ave a faint s to be proud of? This is nothing They are behaving like this because of your family’s influence Your family’s influence is not your own”
Those words made Yukinari startled He looked at Nedis with a cohts
On the way back, Yukinari stopped being haughty and became quiet
Hideyoshi+ was really skillful Before Rody’s carriage left the city, six warriors had started to catch up fro thee Several people then rushed to the front of the carriage and fell on their knees After that, they autoroups They e to lead the way
They then joined up with the old sorcerer outside of the city Yukinari’s original warriors had already been thrown into an unknown place by the old sorcerer Rody gave the horses that belonged to those warriors to the nearriors He then gave the horsewhip to Hideyoshi+ for hiry as it was outrageous for a warrior to drive the carriage However, when he saw that Yukinari did not say anything, he quietly picked up the whip
Rody smiled coldly and exerted a little bit of force to pinch the horsewhip His fingerprints could clearly be seen on the whipstock of the golden horsehere he had pinched When Hideyoshi+ looked at the horsewhip in his hand, he immediately turned pale He opened his mouth wide as he looked at Rody but remained speechless Hideyoshi+ naturally did not have such shocking abilities He then saw Rody enter the carriage that belonged to the Kikukawa family and became unsure of Rody’s identity
That woman could be assumed as Yukinari’s woman Yukinari seemed respectful of that old man and he could be assuure out that young man's identity Rody had such ability that Hideyoshi+ did not have and also had never seen before After all sorts of speculation, he guessed that Rody shot of the Kikukawa family
Yukinari was not a person who did not care about the life and death of his subordinates When Rody got onto the carriage, he immediately whispered, ”What have you done to htly replied, ”Do not worry They did not die However, they will not wake up for the next few days I have put them somewhere in the wilderness and they ake up in three days' time I think there are no wolves nearby and I suppose there is nothing life threatening there”
They did not expect Yukinari to suddenly beco me Now it is considered a dereliction of duty Even if they survived, when they return, I will order them to commit seppuku1”
His tone was cold as if he felt some bitterness
Nedis smiled She knew that Yukinari was helpless and forced to cooperate with them That was because he was held under duress With his identity and status, he felt angry She so and kill the to do”
Rody leaned back and looked at Yukinari He said, ”You are lucky I aood mood today and do not want to kill”
Rody’s words sounded like an understatement but Yukinari felt a chill when he heard those words Rody’s words contained a murderous aura that could not be hidden It was an aura that only those who had been covered in blood would have
Yukinari’s expression changed as if he was struggling with his doubts He suddenly becaht He rolled up his sleeves and put both his hands at his chest He fixed his gaze on Rody and said, ”Your Excellency, may I have a serious conversation with you?”
