384 To Violets Surprise (1/2)
As the current family lord of the Yukishiro family, Yukishiro Sa was well aware of the combat effectiveness of the Fourteenth Brigade. The fourteenth brigade was stationed on the Shikoku island next to Kyushu, and ever since Yukishiro Sa was just a little girl, her grandfather had introduced her to the leaders of the Fourteenth Brigade during banquets and other social occasions.
She was convinced that the military with their modern weapons would have forced Chen Fan to run away if not outright kill him.
A martial artist would never stand a chance against the military.
That was the unwritten rule of the Dark World.
”Silly girl, I will not harm you. You will fetch a great price for me. Those big bosses love princesses like you. So young and tender.” Violet reached out a hand and touched Yukishiro Sa's cheek as a hint of jealousy flickered in her eyes.
Violet was over forty years old and her skin was getting loose and dull. Yukishiro Sa was not only much younger, but she had also stayed in the Green Dragon Grand Array for a few days, and even consumed some Spirit herbs. Her skin was as smooth as porcelain and radiated a charming glow from within.
Yukishiro Sa shivered a little at Violet's touch. However, she was able to pull herself together and said: ”Master will not let you off the hook.”
”Humph! Chen Beixuan is an arrogant fool. Does he really believe that he could trample over Japan because he had defeated Takemiya Hiro? The military would be a handful for him to deal with, not to mention the Lord at the Ise Grand Shrine. Chen Beixuan is surrounded by enemies now, if he could get out of the battle alive still remains to be seen.” Violet let out a snort and then said with a derisive smile.
She was a typical Japanese girl and worshiped absolute strength, nothing else.
The Fuji Ninja Clan had served Lord Susano for hundred of years, but as soon as she saw the tide was turning, she switched sides and joined Chen Fan. She switched back to the Japanese side again after sensing the government official's commitment to doing away with Chen Fan.
The Fuji Ninja Clan had survived this long exactly because they were always on the fence, ready to switch sides. The Ninja Clan was but a meager force in Japan, and couldn't compare to the Japanese government nor the Mega-corporations.
Even as Yukishiro Sa's heart sank to the bottom, a calm voice drifted into the room from outside.
”Are you guys talking about me?”
The familiar voice startled Violet. She wrenched her head over her shoulder and saw the speaker, letting shock and disbelief crawl all over her face
”Chen Beixuan, why are you here?”
”Master!” Yukishiro Sa shouted cheerfully.
The Ninjas in the room suddenly tensed up their bodies as they locked their gazes on the young man who suddenly appeared.
The entire Yukishiro family residence was filled to the brim with Ninjas of the Fuji clan, yet Chen Fan was able to appear without anyone's detection right outside of the meeting room. His sudden appearance had caught the ninjas off guard.
”Clank Clank”
The Ninja's unsheathed their blades and glared hotly at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan didn't much mind the threat. He slowly and leisurely made his way into the room and asked: ”Why can't I be here?”
”Oh, you mean what happened to the Fourteenth Brigade? You must think that I am struggling to escape the military's attack.” Chen Fan seemed to realize something and then he gave Violet a half-smile. ”What if I tell you that I have defeated the Fourteenth Brigade?”
”That's impossible!” Violet shouted. Even Yukishiro Sa gave Chen Fan an incredulous look.
The Ninjas were taken aback by the news. They looked to Chen Fan with disbelief and doubt.
The fourteenth brigade was over four thousand strong, and they could overrun the entire Fuji Ninja Clan with ease. No Martial Artist could have survived their terrifying firepower.
However, if Chen Fan was lying, then how on earth did he suddenly appear right here right now?
Even as Violet struggled to grapple with reality, her phone rang.
”Stop staring at me, your phone rang, answer it.” Chen Fan crooked his head to one side and gave Violet a mischievous look.
He watched as Violet fumbled to produce a cell phone in her hand and connected the line. An anxious voice came out from the other end.
”Violet, the situation is out of our control. Chen Beixuan is much stronger than we thought and he defeated the entire Fourteenth Brigade. He also destroyed our F-15s. We lost track of him, but he is likely heading toward Kyushu. You need to leave Yukishiro's residence now.”
The speaker at the other end was shouting at the top of his lungs, and the conversation was heard by everyone in the room.
However, none of the listeners believed what they heard and wished that they had never heard the voice.
The phone call had proven that Chen Fan was telling the truth. Violet's face turned into a pale ball in the murky water. The defeat of the Fourteenth Brigade meant that she had lost the bet. It also meant that Chen Fan could do pretty much whatever he wants in Japan as long as the American military was not involved.
”How could anyone be so powerful? How could any individual defeat a modern army?”
The ninjas looked at Chen Fan, their eyes were filled with surprise, respect, reverence, and fear. Japanese people worshipped absolute strength and in their eyes, Chen Fan was the paragon of mighty and powerful.
