Chapter 706: Chapter 628 Borrowing a Knife to Kill, Luring the Snake out of the Hole

As one of the most powerful clans in Japan, the Asakura Family’s enterprises expanded across the six major alliances worldwide, with their headquarters located in Tokyo.

Like many large families, the core members of the Asakura Family did not reside in affluent neighborhoods; they lived together in a mountain villa in the suburbs of Tokyo.

Having an estate in the incredibly expensive Tokyo also indirectly confirmed the Asakura Family’s power.

At dusk, as the sun gradually set behind the mountains, Asakura Taiichi, his wounds bandaged, arrived at the estate’s Villa No. 1 and met with Asakura Ichiro, the Clan Leader of the Asakura Family, in the study.

"Father."

Asakura Taiichi entered the study, bowed respectfully, his face filled with humiliation and guilt.

As a Level 4 Ninja (a cultivator at the Postnatal Great Perfection Realm), although he did not enter politics or the business world, he was still one of the absolute core members of the Asakura Family, handling many difficult and clandestine matters for the family.

In addition, his position in the Japan Cultivator Self-Defense Force provided him with a powerful source of information, which brought many conveniences to the Asakura Family.

All this had made him highly esteemed by his father, Asakura Ichiro.

And today, not only had Asakura No been crippled under his watch, but he himself had also been seriously injured.

What made him even more ashamed to face Asakura Ichiro was that after both he and Asakura No were injured, Ye Fan not only showed no concern for the Asakura Family’s retaliation but also left behind a harsh threat and left directly—Ye Fan, after issuing a warning in the Martial Arts Hall, did not answer Asakura Taiichi’s questions and left with Su Jindi.

"Have you ascertained his true identity?"

Asakura Ichiro asked with a grim face. He had already learned of the incident involving Asakura Taiichi and Asakura No and was furious but did not rashly seek retribution. Instead, he first had Asakura Taiichi use the intelligence network of the Japan Cultivator Self-Defense Force to investigate Ye Fan’s real identity.

"No."

Asakura Taiichi replied with an ugly expression: "I investigated through the Cultivator Self-Defense Force’s intelligence network, but could not find any information about him. According to spies lurking in Huaxia, this person had not been active in the Huaxia Cultivation World before; he seemed to have appeared out of nowhere."

Asakura Ichiro’s complexion darkened even more upon hearing Asakura Taiichi’s report.

"However..."

Seeing this, Asakura Taiichi knew Asakura Ichiro was dissatisfied with his report, trying to add more.

"However, what?" Asakura Ichiro interrupted coldly.

"However, I’ve discovered an extremely useful piece of information. Chu Ji, the chairman of Huaxia Tianshan Group, is not only the disciple of the second-ranked person in the Huaxia Cultivation World, Evil Emperor Chu Xuanji, but also secretly manipulates some cultivators to work for him. I believe that the person who injured me today is most likely a cultivator under Chu Ji’s orders, specifically sent here to protect that Su Jindi."

Asakura Taiichi spoke while observing Asakura Ichiro’s expression, and seeing that Asakura Ichiro did not interrupt, he continued: "After all, that Su Jindi’s sister is currently the second-in-command in Tianshan Group, responsible for the entire organization’s operations, and she has a close relationship with Chu Ji’s nephew, Ye Fan."

"The Evil Emperor Chu Xuanji you mentioned is the same person who repelled Chen Daozang in Huaxia Tianshan some time ago, isn’t he?" Asakura Ichiro said.

Although he was not a cultivator, being one of the heavyweights in the Japan business world, he had extensive channels for news and had heard about the heavy injury inflicted on Chen Daozang by Chu Xuanji during social gatherings.

"Yes, Father."

Asakura Taiichi nodded in response and then added: "The Ye Fan I mentioned just now, not only is Chu Ji’s nephew but also Chu Xuanji’s disciple. It is said that the young man’s strength is comparable to a Basic-level Ninja God (at the Gang Qi Introduction Realm), the Supreme of Huaxia Cultivation World’s younger generation. Moreover, he is also a core member of the Ye Family, the number one family in Huaxia politics—his father is very likely to be the next person in power in Huaxia..."

"Foolish!"

Upon hearing this, Asakura Ichiro’s face changed color, and then, furious, he rebuked: "How could you provoke such a person?"

"——"

Asakura Taiichi was at a loss for words.

If he had thoroughly investigated Su Jindi and her backing forces from the beginning, he would never have agreed to let Asakura No have a conflict with Su Jindi, not to mention allowing a martial arts exchange.

"Father, what do you think we should do now?"

Although deeply regretful, Asakura Taiichi knew there was no medicine for regret in the world. The priority was to find a way to resolve the issue.

There was no reply.

Asakura Ichiro suddenly fell silent.

The crippling of Asakura No and the injury to Asakura Taiichi had brought shame to the Asakura Family and even made them the laughingstock of the entire Japanese upper class.

All this infuriated Asakura Ichiro so much that he immediately ordered Asakura Taiichi to do everything to investigate Ye Fan, preparing for retaliation.

But now, upon discovering Su Jindi’s backing forces, his rage subsided considerably, replaced more by concern.

The Asakura Family may enjoy a distinguished status in Japan, but Japan is not what it used to be; it’s on a completely different level from Huaxia.

And the Ye Fan behind Su Jindi can influence the power of Huaxia’s cultivation, political, and business sectors...

For the Asakura Family, this is definitely a formidable enemy!

He did not want to make such a formidable enemy as Ye Fan, but he also couldn’t bear to watch Asakura No go to jail and let the family become the joke of Japanese high society!
