Chapter 268 (1/2)

”Discuss what?” Rody laughed faintly

Kikukawa Yukinari’s eyes were sharp as he stared at Rody ”I believe that st the three of you, you are the real leader!”

Rody smiled and did not cohts and sternly asked, ”I would like to ask you Is your robbery instigated by my brother Kikukawa Koichi? In the end, what is your purpose?”

Before Rody could reply, Nedis asked, ”Why did you think it to be like this?”

Yukinari coldly laughed, ”Only he would be anxious for me to die Once I am dead, there would be nobody to compete for the inheritance of that position! Hmph!”

Rody, Nedis, and Sith looked at each other Nedis laughed without confirhtly said, ”What are your intentions by telling us this?

”I want to buy you over,” Yukinari said in a straightforward ive you ten ti to cooperate with hed Yukinari looked quite sling oaf in hi others so openly was inappropriate

Rody was not a cunning eable in the past few days He was no longer the soft-spoken and timid youth Sith, the old sorcerer, was also a crafty scoundrel and Nedis was even worse than him

With these three around, Yukinari did not have any chance at all Nedis easily

They found out that Yukinari was the youngest son of the Hakone Kingdoes differed by three years

However, they did not have the saun, Ieyasu Kikukawa, had tives However, Koichi’s mother had already died from illness

Yukinari was fair skinned and handsoun Besides that, his un This er son more

Besides that, Yukinari’s brother, Koichi, was no ordinary man If it was said that Yukinari had inherited his mother’s beauty, then Koichi was the one who had inherited the Shogun’s bravery The twenty-five-year-old Koichi was tall and robust He was a very rare warrior ast the dwarves On top of that, he was resolute and decisive This natural born warrior received the support of the old Shogun’s retainers That hy the elder son was much more powerful than the Yukinari that only knew literary works

In the counate supported Koichi They did not say anything even though the old Shogun preferred the sensible and intelligent younger son

On top of that, as speculated by Rody and the others, even though the old Shogun loved his younger son, he seeest son was not leaderit was that Yukinari and Seth were siht be proficient in poetry, but his real ability was one level lower than Koichi

On the other hand, Koichi had already been the Coe This hy Yukinari went to River Ho Rody His mother was anxious about her treasured son when she saw that Koichi had already taken control of thedecent

Yukinari’s purpose at River Ho delivered to the frontlines This was so si Master only needed to take a look and then go back hoive him, in name at least, a little bit of ability and experience on the field

However, Rody and the others were not interested in this

Their purpose was to find out what the thing the dwarfs had that could threaten the Temple But no matter how Nedis probed, Yukinari did not see about it

The three of the co only a local official's son the Young Master presu about it

Yukinari had already said everything but the three of them still did not want to declare their identities He felt a little bit anxious Although Yukinari was not too capable, he grew up in the shogunate and could at the very least see the sinister gaze of others

He could feel with his intuition that the three people in front of hirade people The beautiful woh the oldBesides that, his hand was always placed on top of a stick when he walked even though he walked normally and did not need crutches This would not be a problem if it happened to norh there were no sorcerers in the Hakone Kingdo a crutch but a sorcerer’s staff

As for this youngbeside the youth constantly made him feel uneasy It was like the murderous aura of his father, a brave warrior and a leader that co man’s aura was even more intense than his father’s When the youth’s expression sank as he spoke, Yukinari could feel cold sweat co of oppression

”The three of you Are you interested in my proposal?” Yukinari asked carefully

”No,” Rody replied in an extremely simple manner ”I have no interest in your proposal”

Yukinari became anxious ”Are you not satisfied with my conditions? What did ive you ten times more than him”

Nedis suddenly smiled and said, ”Your brother proive us the authority to monopolize the ironwood business Could you do that?”

When Nedis said that, Yukinari did not show any reactions Rody and the old sorcerer was surprised Rody even called out, ”Nedis!”

Nedis ignored Rody and repeated, ”Can you accept this condition?”

Yukinari im! When I beco you want!”

Rody sighed in his heart Although he did not know Nedis’ intentions, Yukinari’s reply uy was really not a leader No wonder he was unable to coainst his brother Koichi

Ironas fundamental to the dwarfs’ survival Yet, he had sold it out without even any thought

Nedis signaled for Rody not to speak She whispered and continued, ”Alright, young master The three of us are not from your country We are from the Roland Continent’s Mercenary association We are also experts in that association! My name is Blood Fox Nedis The old man is Evil Star Sith and he…” Nedis pointed to Rody and slowly said with a calm tone, ”He is the leader of the famous Black Mercenaries, Lone Wolf Rody”

It was not just Yukinari Even Rody and Sith’sShe said so hed Rody and Sith ih they did not understand her intentions, they did not refute her words If there was anything, they could ask her later

Yukinari had a complicated expression but he quickly pretended to look respectful He then said words like ”I have heard about you” and so on
