The day's classes finally ended. As Jiang Fei was on the way home after school, he passed by the battleground on which the ninja had ambushed him. No one, not even Jiang Fei could have anticipated such a close brush with death two days ago. Now, Jiang Fei was walking about with an actual set of Ares' Armor!

If Jiang Fei had met the same ninja on that day now, a defensive potion would easily turn Mao Tian's ninja into a poodle. With Jumping Slash and Karate Kick, a ninja of Mao Tian's level would never be able to escape from Jiang Fei.

Jiang Fei was eager to try the armor out. He even hoped that Tokugawa Shingi had sent another ninja to assassinate him. After all, not being able to experiment with his newfound powers was very dissatisfying for Jiang Fei. Breaking a few rocks was hard enough for his appetite.

*Crack!*

Jiang Fei spun around and saw an old man standing behind him. The old man had stepped on a broken tree branch. Having increased his Spirit by ten points after consuming the Evolution Blood, Jiang Fei's sense had grown far sharper than ever.

”Hehe, you're a pretty sharp one, lad!”

The old man laughed. He was none other than the old man who had swooped away with Mao Tian.

”What are you doing?”

Jiang Fei frowned. This old man creeped him out. He was sadistic and messed up in the head.

”Hehe, at ease, young one. I am here to deliver the results of the investigation. Your family members are regular folk. I could not go to your house. I could only wait for you here!”

The old man said as he laughed.

”You know where my house is?”

Jiang Fei was shocked. He had not said anything the other day. Not even his name. This old man had found his home. This was most unsettling.

”Just a trivial matter for our organization. Well, not just ours actually. There are many others with such skills!”

What the old man said was true. It was not very difficult to do what he did. As long as one had the power or influence, the person could be the boss of a big company. However, Jiang Fei was a regular high school student and had not thought of this.

”Alright, tell me the results!”

Jiang Fei nodded.

”The young fellow was called Mao Tian. He is a ninja from the Igha faction. He serves the Tokugawa family's fourth son, Tokugawa Shingi,” the old man said.

”Oh.”

Jiang Fei nodded. He had seen this coming a mile away.

”You do not look very surprised. It seems that you may have already guessed it.”

The old man laughed.
