Chapter 2020 Speak Of The Devil
“How can Thousand Crane Shrine maintain its dignity when we don't even know who's behind the disaster that
befell the Watanabe family?”
Hiroichi's face was filled with anger.
“I have examined Kawano's wounds. He was killed with a single sword strike that decapitated him. There are only a
handful of people in our entire Jetroina who could kill Kawano with one sword strike. It's very likely that he was killed
by a martial arts expert from another country,” a man holding a katana beside Hiroichi said.
The man exuded a profound aura, and his eyes exuded a terrifying cold light.
He was Maki Tanaka, a samurai who was even more famous than Kawano.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn terms of swordsmanship, Maki ranked among the top three in the entire Jetroina, his strength surpassing
Kawano's.
Even when compared to Hiroichi, Maki was in no way inferior.
“Mieko, what do you think of this matter?” Hiroichi asked the only woman present.
Mieko Harumi slowly stood up, her curvaceous figure fully revealed.
She slowly walked toward the door, and her figure became more and more ethereal until she disappeared inside
the room.
However, the others didn't find this strange and showed no surprise.
Soon, Mieko reappeared, but now she had another person with her.
This person used to be a guard at Asuka's house and was a member of the Watanabe family.
Upon seeing Hiroichi, the man knelt down immediately.
“Tell the president everything you know,” Mieko said.
The man didn't dare to delay and hurriedly recounted what he had witnessed that day without any omission.
However, he only saw Ryosuke take Jared to Asuka's house to hunt down Asuka and his son.
He didn't know whether Ryosuke had killed Masato and Kawano.
Hiroichi slightly furrowed his bows. “Ryosuke and Asuka's brotherly feud for the position of family head is not
unexpected. After all, it's a survival-of-the-fittest game. That still doesn't explain who killed Kawano, does it?”
Mieko nodded. “You're right. This indeed cannot prove that Masato and Kawano were killed by them. However, I
believe you'll be interested in the young man Ryosuke brought along.”
She took out a photo and placed it on the table. The person in the photo was Jared.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Who is this person?” Hiroichi asked with a frown.
“He looks very young. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before...” Maki carefully examined the photo, deep in
thought.
“This man is Jared Chance, a rising martial arts expert from Chanaea. He killed Asuka's son, Ichiro, which is why the
Watanabe family holds a deep grudge against Jared. This time, Ryosuke brought Jared with him. I heard that to
assassinate Jared, Asuka sought out Kazuo Kawaguchi and went to Chanaea with a group of people. That is why
Jared is here in Jetroina,” Mieko explained.
“Kazuo?” Hiroichi was stumped. “Bring him here right now. I want to personally ask him what happened!”
However, as soon as he said that, a subordinate came and reported, “Mr. Ono, Kazuo Kawaguchi is here to meet
you. He is waiting right outside the door.”
Speak of the devil.
“Hurry up and show him in,” Hiroichi said.
Soon, Kazuo entered the shrine. He dared not even lift his head and fell to his knees upon seeing Hiroichi.
