Chapter: 1797

"Strong?" Ito Yohiko sneered coldly, with a look of disdain: "Tanaka, you might have some misunderstanding about what 'strong' means! I'll tell you, true strength doesn't come from something like karate, but from our Japanese martial arts and onmyodo. That's the real big magic, Yamamoto Ichiro's karate is just common people's pretentiousness, nothing more than that!"

Toshihiro Tanaka asked in surprise: "Chairman, does ninjutsu and onmyodo really exist?"

Ito Yohiko spoke indifferently: "Tanaka, ninjutsu and onmyodo are both Japanese martial arts, especially ninjutsu. Even Westerners are fascinated by it. Why are you still questioning it?"

Toshihiro Tanaka said awkwardly: "Chairman, I've been to the ninjutsu hometown of Iga City a few times and seen some ninjutsu performances. Overall, it feels like a combination of acrobatics and magic with no practical significance."

Ito Yohiko laughed mockingly, with a hint of scorn: "You're just like that frog in a well, I'm telling you, true ninjutsu is as described in legends, without any distinction. It's just that there are few real ninjas nowadays, most of them are being carefully cultivated by top-tier families. They're like nuclear weapons to these families - no one will voluntarily reveal themselves!"

He coldly smiled and spoke: "Not long ago, the sixth-generation leader of Yamaguchi-gumi died suddenly in his own hot spring villa in Hokkaido, guarded by him himself. Do you know about this?"

Toshihiro Tanaka nodded immediately: "Everyone in Japan knows about this incident. It was reported on TV, saying he died from a cerebral hemorrhage."

"Cerebral hemorrhage?" Ito Yohiko sneered coldly: "Just a fabrication by outsiders, but actually, he was killed by the hands of a ninjutsu master!"

At this moment, Toshihiro Tanaka felt his worldview being turned upside down.

The famous Yamaguchi-gumi sixth-generation leader had actually died at the hands of a ninjutsu master - this was a bit too legendary to believe.

However, he didn't dare question Ito Yohiko's words in any way.

Because he knew Ito Yohiko's character very well - this person never speaks without being sure.

If he said so, it must mean that he had some special means of verifying the facts as he described them.

Even Toshihiro Tanaka suspected that there might be a ninjutsu master within the Ito family ranks.

However, he wisely didn't ask any more questions.

Because he knew that some questions weren't meant for him to ask, and some things weren't meant for him to know about.

As an assistant to Ito Yohiko and his trusted aide, his role was to serve Ito Yohiko well, asking what needed to be asked, and not asking what shouldn't be asked - a single word wouldn't be spoken.

So he respectfully told Ito Yohiko: "I'm just a humble fool, never thought that the legendary ninjutsu master would actually exist......"

Ito Yohiko nodded slightly and sighed, saying: "What a pity that the ninjutsu master excels at killing people without leaving any trace, but not at healing or saving lives. If not, C-chan wouldn't have to endure so much pain."

He then let out another sigh and waved his hand, saying: "Let's forget about all this for now. Once we're at Kōrin Pharmaceuticals and sign the contract, I'll be relieved of my worries. Tomorrow, come with me to Kyoto for a few days. I want to put aside my work and spend some time with C-chan."

"Okay!"

...

At that moment, Ye Chen was still on his way to Kōrin Pharmaceuticals.

Since it's not as convenient as Ito Yohiko's location, the group had already arrived at Kōrin Pharmaceuticals before Ye Chen did.

Inside the meeting room of Kōrin Pharmaceuticals, Kojima Masayuki had already instructed everyone not to mention anything about Kyokugen Dan. First, he wanted to get hold of Ito Family's money. JrNovels.com
