Chapter 587 - 568: Plans of One’s Own
As he spoke, Ye Chen, with ruthless decisiveness, plunged the dagger into the man’s throat. The remaining three men in black quickly retreated, watching in horror as Ye Chen, like the Death God himself, drove the dagger into their comrade’s throat. Blood spurted wildly, and the man died in silence.
"Retreat!" one of them immediately issued the order to retreat.
Whoosh...
The three men didn’t even bother with the body of their companion; they fled on the spot. Their escape was impressively swift, eliciting a wry smile from Ye Chen. Clutching the dagger, he wiped it on the body of the man in black, then turned and left. Not long after Ye Chen walked away, the three fleeing men in black reappeared, lifting the three bodies before disappearing into the alley once more.
Ye Chen casually strolled back to Xin Hai Apartment, seemingly carefree. However, all the way home, he was exceedingly cautious. It wasn’t until he opened his front door and confirmed there were no assassins inside that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The assassins sent by Fujiwara Ichiro failed to achieve their goal and instead were swiftly killed by Ye Chen. The news reached the Zhu Group in Japan, infuriating Fujiwara Ichiro. If President Xiong Tai discovered this, he would surely be reprimanded. Therefore, Fujiwara Ichiro had to hurriedly deal with the problem of Ye Chen.
"Mr. Ichiro, what should we do now?"
"Yeah, with three brothers dead, how should we explain it to the President?"
His subordinates asked anxiously, after all, the Yakuza’s assassins were accounted for. This was not like saying the loss of a few low-ranking members was inconsequential. Once there were losses among the assassins, it would surely alert President Xiong Tai.
"I have my own plans!" Fujiwara Ichiro waved his hand, saying, "That bastard Ye Chen refuses to drink a toast and insists on drinking a forfeit. Humph, if he wants to die, it’s not because I forced him!"
"President Xiong Tai’s intention is to try and recruit Ye Chen to our side as much as possible!" a subordinate hurriedly reminded.
"I know better than you!" Fujiwara Ichiro glared at him and said, "But, now the Heavenly Reversal Gang’s expansion has begun. If they succeed in their first step, Ye Chen won’t join us easily. Who would give up being an Emperor to become someone else’s little brother?"
