“Mr. Ono…” Kazuo, despite being an influential. figure and having worked as an emissary, had no choice but to remain subservient to the people in the shrine..
After all, these shrines held the highest level of authority in Jetroina. “What brings you here, Kazuo?” Hiroichi asked. “Mr. Ono, I know who murdered Masato and Kawano,” Kazuo replied.
“Who?” Upon hearing that, the agitated Hiroichi stood up. “It must be Ryosuke Watanabe and Jared Chance,” Kazuo said. “Is it him?” Hiroichi handed Kazuo a photo.
Kazuo took a glance at it and replied, “That’s right. It’s him. This man is Jared Chance.” “He’s such a young lad, yet he was able to kill Kawano? Just how capable is this man?” Maki asked while knitting his brows.
“Mr. Tanaka, I’m not sure about his capabilities, but it was clear that I, a Greater Martial Arts Marquis, was no match for him.” Kazuo then told them about his experience in Chanaea.
“Please, Mr. Ono. Please help me…” Kazuo explained everything to them because he wanted to seek refuge from the shrine. He knew that the deity in the shrine could help him purge the poison that Jared had made him consume in a matter of minutes. Hiroichi snorted, exuding a majestic aura. “How dare a Chanaean step on our toes?”
Suddenly, a white beam shot out and hit on Kazuo’s body. “You’re not poisoned. Jared must have lied to you,” Hiroichi said. “Mr. Ono, I…” Kazuo did not believe it, but before he could finish his sentence, he noticed Mieko was glaring at him.
“Are you questioning Mr. Ono?” Mieko asked indifferently. “No, no, no, no, no…” Kazuo shook his head. several times and backed away from the shrine.
“Mieko, now that Ryosuke has betrayed us, I want you to take charge of the Watanabe family. As for the man named Jared, I’ll get Maki to deal with him. Let’s not disturb the deity. with such small matters,” Hiroichi said.
“All right, Mr. Ono.” Mieko and Maki stood up together and bowed. After Mieko and Maki left, the elderly man who had not uttered a word gradually stood up and opened his mouth wide.
A dark mist began to pour out from his mouth and swiftly flew into the statue of the deity. located behind the shrine. Upon noticing that, Hiroichi immediately got up, held his body, and put him in a hidden pavilion.
After the discussion on how to deal with Ryosuke and Jared at Thousand Crane Shrine, they promptly put their plan into action. Meanwhile, Jared and the others, blissfully unaware of what was to come, were enjoying the comfortable life in the Watanabe residence.
Jared eagerly anticipated the annual activity at the Jetroinian shrines and had already begun. devising a plan to take down Thousand Crane Shrine during the event.
Ever since Jared arrived there, Yuri had been taking care of him. While Jared was sunbathing, Yuri brought him a glass of fruit juice. She kneeled before him and put the straw into his mouth.
“Master, have some juice,” Yuri said in her sweet voice. “Yuri, stop calling me Master. Just call me by my name.” Jared felt uncomfortable with someone calling him that way.
“Master, you’re the master of the Watanabe family, so I cannot address you by your name directly. In Jetroina, we pledge loyalty to only one master. Once we acknowledge someone as our master, we will remain faithful to them until our last breath,” Yuri explained softly.
Upon hearing that, Jared decided to let it go and not let it bother him anymore. Oh, well, she can call me whatever she wants. Just when he was about to take a sip of the juice, he knitted his brows. His gaze turned cold as he looked up at the walls of the mansion.
