Chapter 1740
"What?!" Machi blurted out in shock, "Do you mean that Fujibayashi Aota is dead? Who did it? Was
it that Oskian?!" 3
"No.” Masatetsu had a gloomy expression on his face a s he said, "There is a high probability that
this was done by another ninjutsu family!"
"Another ninjutsu family?" Machi frowned and asked," Did any of you provoked anyone?"
"No." Masatetsu replied, "Mr. Takahashi, four of us fellow apprentices have been working for you
throughout all these years. Aside from your enemies, none of us make enemies outside. So, I
suspect the other party must be targeting you and acting against you instead!"
"Targeting me?" Machi blurted out, "Who could possibly be targeting me? Moreover, if the other
party i s also using ninjas, then it seems as though he muste from a pretty strong background
then!" 4
Masatetsu replied, "Mr. Takahashi, do you think that this was done by the Ito family? As far as I
know, out o f the ninjutsu families, the famous and reputable Koga family had always been closely
rted to the Ito family!"
"This..." Machi also felt a little confused.
He really did not know what could possibly have
happened to Aota and he did not have any idea who could have possibly killed him too.
So, he thought to himself: "There are not that many ninjutsu families in the country now. Aside from
the ninjas who are working for the Ito family, it seems as though there is no need for the other
remaining families to be my enemy." 4
"Could it be that that bastard, Ito Yahiko is also plotting to kill me?!"
At this time, since Machi had already originally been nning to kill Yahiko, he had a preconception
in his heart that Yahiko must have been nning to kill him too! 3
"It seems as though we are all just pretending to be amicable and sweet talking to one another
when both of us are trying to kill each other at any time!" 3
As he thought about this, Machi blurted out, "Since the wealthy and influential family from Oskia
came to Tokyo to meet up with me first this time, Yahiko must be furious! Perhaps that is the reason
why he is targeting me!” 4
"I guess he is now waiting to discuss the cooperation matters with the Schulz family now. In order to
leave a good impression on the Schulz family, he dares not act directly against me at this time. So,
he is targeting you guys first. I guess that Yahiko is simply trying to weaken my strength in advance
and slowly sorts me outter.”
Masatetsu hurriedly asked, "Mr. Takahashi, so what d o we do now?"
Machi thought about it for a long time. He gritted his teeth and replied in a low and deep voice,"
Fujibayashi, you have to keep a low profile for the next few days. Send more people to secretly
keep an eye on that bastard for me while waiting for my news. As soon as I sessfully have
signed the contract with the Schulz family, get rid of that bastard immediately so that the Takahashi
family will not need to suffer any more shame and humiliation!" 6
Masatetsu immediately replied, "Okay, Mr. Takahashi. I will definitely fulfil my mission!" 5
At this time, Machi spoke up again, "In addition, I want you to send another group of men from your
family to hurry to Kyoto overnight!"
"Head to Kyoto?!" Masatetsu asked in surprise, "Mr. Takahashi, why do you want me to send some
men to Kyoto?" 2
Machi replied coldly, "Yahiko''s precious daughter has been recuperating in Kyoto ever since she got
injured. I want you to monitor her closely and keep an eye on her. As soon as I have dealt with
Yahiko, I will not want to leave any loose end. So, his daughter, Nanako must also die then!" 6

"Furthermore, it would be advantageous for you to help me to keep an eye on Nanako in advance. If
Yahiko decides to attack me first, then I will be able to use his daughter to threaten him and force
him tomit suicide! This way, I will be able to secure double insurance for myself!"
Masatetsu immediately replied, "I understand, Mr. Takahashi! If that is the case, then I will notify my
family to immediately arrange some of our ninjas to head to Kyoto so that they can secretly monitor
Yahiko’s daughter!" 6
Machi gritted his teeth before he said, "Fujibayashi, you must make sure that your men will be able
to kill Nanako immediately as soon as I make a phone call to them!" s
Masatetsu hurriedly promised and assured him, "Mr. Takahashi, don''t worry. You can be rest
assured that w e would certainly go all out to get things done for you!" 7
Machi hummed slightly before he said, "Fujibayashi, you don''t have to worry. As soon as you
cooperate with me to destroy the Ito family, I will definitely give you a very generous remuneration. I
will also make sure that I give your junior a generous settlement allowance too." 8
Masatetsu hurriedly said, "Then I will thank you in advance first, Mr. Takahashi!"
