    Chapter 1139: The Hostage Drama


    Moments ago, Yamamoto had clearly provoked him intentionally, baiting him intounching an attack to


    gauge his actual power. Now, he didn’t even have the opportunity to mount a counteroffensive.


    “Old friend, in victory or defeat, you have already lost. Today is the day of your death,” Yamamoto

    grinned. “But before you die, I want you to watch your descendants be ughtered!”


    Saying this, he snapped his fingers.


    “Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”


    In the next moment, arge number of ninjas emerged from underground. These ninjas were


    meticulously trained assassins of the Tatsuharu Family, each of them highly skilled. Not only were they


    powerful, but they were also masters of assassination techniques. They appeared like ghosts, making it


    difficult to defend against.


    “Hold them off!” General Murray roared.


    The ck-d assassins of the Murray family immediately drew their swords and rushed forward.


    Although they were outnumbered, they were much more skilled, and facing multiple opponents was not


    a problem for them.


    However, the ninjas from the Kingdom of the Golden Phoenix kepting, and as soon as one was


    killed, another would immediately emerge from underground. For a while, the two forces were


    deadlocked.


    “Stop! Stop all of you! Otherwise, I’ll kill her!”


    At this moment, a loud voice rang out. Tatsuharu Nakamura, who was among the crowd, suddenly


    walked out, grabbing Shi and cing a knife against her throat.


    “Shi?!” General Murray’s face immediately changed.


    The members of the Murray family were equally stunned and incensed. The previous explosion had


    reduced the entire banquet hall to rubble, and the ensuing mayhem had diverted everyone’s attention,


    preventing them from noticing Nakamura’s moves. It was inconceivable that this individual had


    concealed himself among the guests, covertly snatched Shi, and was now using her as a hostage.


    Now, even if they wanted to resist, they had to be careful not to provoke him further.


    “Nakamura! You have some nerve to hold my daughter hostage! Release her immediately!” Caden was


    furious.


    Just earlier, the two sides had reached an agreement to cooperate in dealing with Dustin. They had not


    expected Nakamura to turn on them so suddenly.


    “Caden, don’t attempt to intimidate me. The Murray family is already on the brink, and it’s now the


    Tatsuharu Family that’s in control!” Nakamura sneered. “Now, swiftlymand your people to disarm


    or I’ll kill her!”


    As he spoke, he lightly lifted the de, piercing Shi’s skin.


    A thin stream of blood flowed down her fair neck.


    “Hahaha… My grandson truly doesn’t disappoint! Excellent job!” Tatsuharu Yamamoto erupted in


    In a direct confrontation, even if they emerged victorious, the painstakingly cultivated strength of his


    own family would incur substantial losses. However, with Tatsuharu Nakamura holding Shi as a


    hostage, he couldpel them to capitte entirely without resorting tobat.


    “Why? Aren’t you supposed to be Garrett’s friend? Why are you doing this?” Shi found it hard to


    believe.


    “Friend?” Tatsuharu Nakamura chuckled, his tone mocking. “Shi, do you have a problem with your


    brain? I’m from the Kingdom of the Golden Phoenix, and you’re from the Dragonmarsh. How could we


    ever be friends?”


    “What aboutst night?” Shi was puzzled.


    “Hehehe… Shi, can’t you see it now?” Nakamura sneered. “Last night, I kidnapped you to use as


    leverage against Dustin.”


    “I just didn’t expect that when the truth came out, Garrett would actually speak up for me and


    deliberately nder Dustin. I can only say that you Dragonmarsh people never change. You always


    fight amongst yourselves. It’s because of this that you gave me the opportunity.”


    With these words, Shi was thunderstruck, frozen in ce.
