296 Yukishiro Sa (1/2)

After Yukishiro Sa left the Green Vines, she got into the backseat of a Toyota Land Rover. Her face was cold as ice and eyes glinting. Kawakami Gensai felt embarrassed by what had happened. He thought his fame and power would be enough to scare the little Chinese girl, but he ended up shooting himself in the foot.

”Kawakami san, do you really believe that woman's words?” Yukishiro Sa asked slowly.

”I think they are all bluffs.” Kawakami Gensai hugged his wakizashi in his chest and said with furrowed brows.

”Grandmaster Chen Beixuan is the most powerful Grandmaster in China, and even my teacher revered his power and skills. Why would someone so powerful go to a college in Jin City? Can you believe it? A Kendo Grandmaster carrying a backpack to university?”

”My lady, I am convinced that this Chinese woman is bluffing. She had mentioned the name of Master Chen so scare us, making us believe that she, somehow, was related to Master Chen.” Kawakami Gensai snorted and said: ”The Tang family is only a small clan in the small Jin City, it was no match against our mighty Yukishiro family who lorded over the entire Kyushu Island.”

Yukishiro Sa remained silent, as a smile found her face.

”Kawakami san, you are not a woman and therefore lack a woman's intuition. When Tang Yifei spoke Chen Beixuan's name, she clenched her fist ever so slightly, and I can see a light came up in her eyes. It was obvious that she had seen Chen Beixuan and I am convinced that they are on very complicated terms. The way she talked about him was as if she was talking about her ex.”

”Soga!” Kawakami Gensai nodded.

He was a powerful Kendo master but lacked skills in reading people's mind. That particular skill in the girl was what made him respect Yukishiro Sa. She didn't claim the seat of power just by birthright and had to face countless challenges. However, all those who opposed her were now dead in the pacific ocean. The girl had such keen observation skills that could see through anyone's mind. Kawakami Gensai often felt naked in front of the girl since he constantly felt that the girl knew all of his thoughts, including the thought that hasn't come to him yet.

”She was nothing but an unwanted woman, discarded and pathetic. The Tang family was bound to go downhill if she continues to be in charge.” Yukishiro Sa shook her head.

She had expected much more from Tang Yifei. She had expected her to be just like her: calm, shrewd and rational. However, she was very disappointed. ”Now I really want to meet this Chen Beixuan, I wonder what kind of man could have charmed Tang Yifei?”

Yukishiro Sa cracked a light smile.

Kawakami Gensai suddenly pulled a taut face and said: ”My lady, please be careful what you wish for. Chen Beixuan is the deadliest Grandmaster in China and to be near him is as dangerous as being near a tiger.”

”I have you, don't I?” Yukishiro Sa finally let out a smile.

She usually kept an indifferent and cold face, and that had made the rare smile on her face even more alluring. Her beauty was a Devil's snare, tantalizing but poisonous. Kawakami Gensai had trained in Kendo for thirty years, but still, found his thoughts gravitate towards her will. He quickly lowered his head to avoid the sight of this dangerous beauty.

”My Kendo couldn't compare with the might of Master Chen. I think only my teacher could ward him off”

”Grandmaster Kitaniwakawa?” Yukishiro Sa furrowed her brows as her smile evaporated.

If there was anyone in the Yukishiro family that Yukishiro Sa still feared, it was not her useless father, not her vicious uncle, and neither was her dying Grandfather who had made her an official heir, it was an old man who wore one plain Kendo suit and a Wakizashi year-round. His name is Kitaniwakawa.

This Kendo Grandmaster looked like a mendicant monk, but he was a household name in Kyushu and Shikoku region. Even the leaders of the local county would have to talk to him with great measure of respect.

A county in Japan was equivalent to a province in China. Any County Minister was as important as the Major of Tokyo. The only level of administration above a country minister was the prime minister of Japan and his cabinet ministers. Although the politics of Japan was largely driven by large corporations, and the status of government officials was not as high as those in China, it spoke loudly of Kitaniwakawa's fame and influence. As a matter of fact, without Kitaniwakawa's support, Yukishiro Sa would never have become the current lord of the Yukishiro family.

Although Yukishiro Sa prided herself for being able to see through people's minds, she could never read the mind of Kitaniwakawa. To her, his mind was as still as a deep pond of water, when she looked into it, she only saw own reflection.

”Chen Beixuan is powerful, but so is my teacher.” Kawakami Gensai looked up as a flame danced in his eyes. In his mind, Kitaniwakawa was a godly existence and could easily bring down the most powerful Grandmaster in China.

Yukishiro Sa didn't offer a reply, however, the strange light in her eyes became even brighter.

She had thought that it would be a relaxing trip but never had she thought that there might be a True Dragon hidden in plain sight in the small city of China. Although the Chinese's girl's information about Chen Beixuan was yet to be proven, she was already getting agitated.

Chen Fan was not aware of what had happened at the Green Vines club.

He had other matters to focus on.

”This was the fourth time this week they were trying to infiltrate the plant. Samsung's Covert Operation Unit is getting bold. The furthest they got was the fourth checkpoint and we even had to alert the Cang Dragon unit stationed nearby.”

Inside a quiet garden, Chen Fan's attractive strategist Yu Qin complained while hanging a long face.

Chen Fan sat across the table, sipping his tea. He didn't seem to be disturbed by the news at all. Instead, he asked curiously. ”Are those guys idiots? They know we are guarded by the military, yet they still kept on coming.”

Suddenly, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Yu Qin's face.

”You know that our recent foreign policy was to cozy up to Korea in order to suppress the power of Japan. The Lee Family had many supporters in China, and—”
