Chapter 2018 Promise
Meanwhile, at Ryosuke's mansion, Flaxseed and Fandor were lounging in a luxurious hot spring.
Placed beside Fandor were a few bottles of fine wine, while Flaxseed was accompanied by two younggirls who were gently massaging him.
“Fandor, do you think Jared can defeat that Kawano?” Flaxseed asked worriedly.
After all, Flaxseed wasn't familiar with the samurais from Jetroina, so he wasn't sure if Jared could win.
“Don't worry. If my guess is right, Kawano should be dead after enduring one strike from Jared. Theyshould be back soon.” Fandor leisurely sipped on his wine.
Right after he finished saying that, Jared and Ryosuke returned.
“Dad.” Seeing Ryosuke, Yuri hurriedly stepped forward. “Dad, how did it go?”
“Master killed those people, including Kawano,” Ryosuke replied excitedly.
“Master?” Yuri was caught by surprise.
“That's right. From now on, Mr. Chance will be the Watanabe family's master. Members of theWatanabe family must unconditionally obey his orders from now on,” Ryosuke said.
She gazed at Jared's back in astonishment. Jared merely kept quiet. He wasn't interested in becomingthe Watanabe family's master. Perhaps he would never come to Jetroina again after this time.
Jared strode to the backyard of the mansion. He couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Fandor andFlaxseed enjoying the time of their lives soaking in the hot spring, not to mention there were even two
girls serving Flaxseed.
Noticing Jared, Flaxseed hastily got up and dismissed the two girls.
“Jared, how did it go? Were you able to beat Kawano?” he asked.
“One hit was all it took,” Jared answered nonchalantly.
“Well, what did I say? Dealing with Kawano won't take more than one move,” Fandor chirped.
“Mr. Flaxseed, you should get ready. We're going back soon.”
Jared planned to return to the country. Now that Asuka was dead, he wanted to go back and think of away to save Josephine.
After all, rescuing Josephine took precedence over everything else.
The trip to Jetroina had allowed Jared to advance to the level of a Martial Arts Saint, which gave himeven more confidence in liberating Josephine.
“We're going back so soon?” Flaxseed was stunned.
“That's right.” Jared nodded.
Despite his reluctance, Flaxseed had no choice but to acquiesce to Jared's order.
However, when Ryosuke heard Jared was leaving, he knelt in front of him with a thud.
“Master, please help the Watanabe family break free from Thousand Crane Shrine's control.”
Ryosuke knew that although the other members of the Watanabe family had been eliminated and noone could threaten his position as the head of the family anymore, he reckoned the shrine would never
let him go.novelbin
After Jared left, the shrine would undoubtedly trouble him. By then, he figured his family might suffer aworse fate.
Jared glanced at Ryosuke expressionlessly. “Helping you kill Kawano is my repayment for the snowlotus you gave me. I have no obligation to assist you in wiping out Thousand Crane Shrine now, nor doI have the time to spare.”
“Master, the Watanabe family is willing to be in your service forever and offer tribute to you in the formof resources every year.” Ryosuke groveled at Jared's feet.
“Jared, I think you should stay. The resources owned by Thousand Crane Shrine are far moreabundant than these martial arts families. Besides, each shrine has its own deity. I figure you should beinterested in acquiring the power gathered within those deities,” Fandor persuaded Jared while pickingup his wine glass.
Jared shot a quick look at Fandor and contemplated for a few moments before nodding. “All right.”
Ryosuke was overjoyed to see Jared agree.
That night, Jared lay on his bed, his mind occupied with ways he could rescue Josephine.
At that moment, soft footsteps sounded.
Jared sat up at once, only to see the door being pushed open. The next second, Yuri entered, her bodybarely covered by clothing.
