Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 244 - 244 228 Kameda Ichiro_1

244: Chapter 228 Kameda Ichiro_1 244: Chapter 228 Kameda Ichiro_1 Suzumiya Setsuna was momentarily stunned before she reacted as if she had misheard, saying, “What?”

Lu Chuan repeated himself, “Kitahara Sousuke is already dead.”

Suzumiya Setsuna was taken aback, her eyes gradually widening in disbelief, “Kitahara Sousuke…

dead?

How is that possible…”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “What’s so impossible about that?

You won’t have to worry about him wanting you as his concubine anymore.”

It took a while for Suzumiya Setsuna to regain her composure.

Then she looked at Lu Chuan with gratitude and bowed to him, “Lu Chuan, thank you.”

Lu Chuan waved his hand dismissively, “He deserved to die.”

Suzumiya Setsuna took a deep breath, her mood visibly lighter as she said, “Mr.

Kishimoto, Miss Haruko, uh…

Stinky Miss, you should hurry inside.

This is a safe house, and it won’t be good if our presence here is detected.”

Zhong Ling’er retorted angrily, “My last name isn’t Stinky!

I don’t smell at all, my name is Zhong Ling’er.

Don’t listen to this jerk spouting nonsense!”

Suzumiya Setsuna covered her mouth to hide a giggle and quickly corrected herself, “Miss Ling’er, I’m sorry.

But don’t be angry with Lu Chuan; his way of introducing you actually shows that he is close to you.

He must like you to introduce you in such a special way.”

Zhong Ling’er’s eyes widened, “He likes me?”

Lu Chuan rapped her on the head, “Like you, my foot!”

He then hurriedly ran into the house.

Zhong Ling’er stamped her foot in frustration.

Suzumiya Setsuna smiled and said no more, turning around to enter the house.

Kishimoto Haruko hooked arms with Zhong Ling’er, chuckling, “Alright, Lu Chuan was just teasing you.

Let’s go inside.”

Zhong Ling’er rubbed her head, grumbling, “I don’t get how this guy has such good luck with beautiful ladies wherever he goes.”

Kishimoto Haruko asked with a smile, “What?

Are you jealous?”

Zhong Ling’er immediately looked flustered, “How…

how could that be!

I don’t like men, I’m just worried for you beautiful ladies.”

Kishimoto Haruko smiled without a word and led Zhong Ling’er into the house.

In the living room, several people gathered together.

Lu Chuan had already analyzed the current situation to everyone; although Kitahara Sousuke was dead, other strong individuals from the Island Country would certainly not let them off, so they could only hide here for the time being.

Fortunately, Lu Chuan had obtained the dragon vein, and as long as he made a breakthrough, he could face the combined strength of Transcendent Realm Level 9 experts without fear.

Therefore, Lu Chuan had to make a breakthrough as soon as possible.

“I cannot be disturbed during my breakthrough, and the disturbance will certainly be significant, so I must find a secluded and uninhabited place.

This place is safe for now; you all hide here for a while.

After my breakthrough, I will come to find you,” Lu Chuan said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhong Ling’er then said, “I want to follow you!”

Lu Chuan looked at her and asked, “Why follow me?

Isn’t it better for you to stay with them?”

Zhong Ling’er pondered for a moment, then said earnestly, “What if you ditch us and run away?

I need to supervise you!”

In fact, she felt extremely uneasy because of the past incident when Kitahara Sousuke wanted to make her his concubine.

Only by staying with Lu Chuan could she feel at ease.

But how could she let Lu Chuan know about such things, so she made up an excuse.

Lu Chuan was somewhat helpless, “Fine, but you have to make sure not to cause trouble.”

Zhong Ling’er nodded quickly, “Don’t worry, I’m so obedient, how could I possibly cause you trouble?”

Lu Chuan rolled his eyes at her.

After agreeing on a plan, Lu Chuan took Zhong Ling’er away from the safe house to find a suitable place for his breakthrough, while Suzumiya Setsuna and the others stayed in the safe house, waiting for Lu Chuan’s return.

…

The Kameda aristocratic family.

In a spacious room, an old man dressed in loose kimono and wooden clogs, with graying hair, stared furiously at Kitahara Sousuke’s body laid on the ground, murderous intent churning within him.

This man was none other than the once-renowned hermit of the Island Country, Kameda Ichiro.

He once fought Kitahara Sousuke to a draw, and the two respected each other deeply, considering one another as close friends.

“Dear brother Sousuke, just recently we shared drinks and discussed the Tao, and now you’ve turned into a cold corpse.

Fate has truly been unjust to you!

Unjust indeed!”

A terrifying aura burst forth from him, forcing all five Transcendent Realm Level 9 experts, including the man with a prominent forehead and square chin, to kneel on the ground in fear.

Such an aura was not something a Transcendent Realm Level 9 could possess.

The square-chinned man hurriedly asked, “Mr.

Kameda, have you successfully broken through to the Celestial Ninja level?”

Kameda Ichiro huffed coldly, his face showing a trace of pride, “Indeed!

Our Island Country has a harsh environment, and it’s difficult to produce Celestial Ninjas.

It’s been a hundred years since a Celestial Ninja emerged.

I only had some insights after discussing with brother Sousuke numerous times and was able to break through.

Yet, though I have broken through, he has left this world.

My hatred is profound!”

The square-chinned man’s eyes lit up, and he quickly said, “Mr.

Kameda, since you are now a Celestial Ninja, killing that young man from Cathay to avenge Mr.

Kitahara would be as easy as turning over your hand.

We’ve already sent people to search for his whereabouts, and once we find him, please, Mr.

Kameda, take action!”

Kameda Ichiro said coldly, “Of course, I won’t let that boy get away.

But at the rate you are searching, the trail will go cold by the time you find him.”

“I have a method for finding people.

Just bring me something that the target has worn, and I can pinpoint their whereabouts.

Do you have something that the boy from Cathay wore?”

The square-chinned man frowned slightly, knowing he certainly didn’t have any of Lu Chuan’s personal belongings.

However, he quickly thought of how Kishimoto Naoki and his daughter disappeared after Lu Chuan left, likely following him.

He said hastily, “We don’t have any personal belongings of that boy from Cathay, but the Kishimoto family father and daughter must be with him.

If we find them, we can find that boy.”

Kameda Ichiro glanced at him and barked, “Then what are you waiting for!”

The square-chinned man jumped, quickly responding, “I…

I’ll go to the Kishimoto house to find their personal belongings right away!”
