Chapter: 6732
Nana said, "Ye Chen-kun, I heard that you saved Tavanna?"
Ye Chen curiously asked, "How did you know? This matter is supposed to be strictly confidential."
Nana hurriedly said, "Ye Chen-kun, please don't get angry. The Fujiwara family's Fujimi Heart is my good friend, and it was she who told me about this matter. She's very scared, has no one to confide in, so she trusted me with the secret, but doesn't know that I'm acquainted with you only because I have a good relationship with her and I'm very reliable."
Ye Chen understood Fujimi Heart's motivation after hearing Nana say that she was her friend, so he said, "Since it's like that, I also completely understand. You don't need to be worried; I won't get angry."
"That's fine." Nana hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Actually, Ye Chen-kun, I'm calling you about something else that needs your help..."
Ye Chen said, "You don't have to be so polite with me. What is it, no matter?"
Nana said, "Ye Chen-kun, I received a message that someone wants to buy Tavanna's life for 100 million US dollars. They've found the leader of the Iga clan, Shibata Hanzo, but they don't know that the Iga clan has already pledged allegiance to the Itou family, so Shibata Hanzo told me about this matter first thing..."
Let me know if you need anything else!
The Iga ninja family, as Japan's largest ninja clan, had previously participated in the Tokyo turmoil and almost got wiped out by Ye Chen's team.
However, they managed to change their direction in time, recognized the situation, and pledged allegiance to the Itou family, which ultimately avoided their annihilation.
Initially, the Tokyo turmoil was a huge, open conflict, so after the turmoil, the Iga ninja's pledge of allegiance to the Itou family remained unknown to outsiders.
The Iga ninja had originally pledged allegiance to the Itou family, but it was just a temporary strategy and not genuine. However, after seeing Ye Chen's strength on Mount Ye Ling, the Iga ninja no longer harbored any doubts towards the Itou family.
After Americans found the Iga ninja, they proposed a secret deal worth 100 million USD. Shibata Hanzo, the leader of the Iga ninja, received this message and initially thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make big money, which would be enough to sustain the entire Iga ninja family for several decades.
However, when he learned that they wanted to kill Tavanna on Three-Island Family's turf, he immediately dropped his plan to take advantage of this deal. He knew very clearly that he couldn't do something as despicable as going after his lord's girlfriend's life just for money.
Shibata Hanzo was not averse to money, but he understood very well that if Ye Chen was around, even 100 million USD wouldn't tempt him into doing something wrong. Otherwise, the Iga ninja family might cease to exist.
Therefore, Shibata Hanzo didn't dare hesitate and immediately informed Itou Na-na about this matter.
Itou Na-na heard this news and became very concerned for her friend's safety, especially since she had previously known that Ye Chen was taking his wife to Tokyo to watch Tavanna's concert. She then hurriedly sought Ye Chen's help.
The Three-Island Family may have the strength of a country, but their opponent has already proposed a secret deal worth 10 million USD, which is an irresistible temptation for many desperate individuals.
Many desperate individuals would be willing to risk their lives for 1 million USD, let alone 100 million USD! Ye Chen also didn't expect that those who wanted Tavanna's life in America were still not giving up.
So, he asked Itou Na-na on the phone: "Na-na, what is the specific plan for this 100 million USD?"
Na-na replied: "The 100 million USD has already been fully exchanged for Bitcoin. This batch of Bitcoin is currently being traded on the largest intermediary trading platform in the underground network, and the task requirements are clear. No matter who it is, as long as they can kill Tavanna, they will receive this 100 million USD in Bitcoin, even if they die during the process. As long as they confirm that Tavanna was killed by them, this money will be credited to their name, and their legally designated heir will inherit it."
As she spoke, Na-na added: "This platform is very authoritative in the underground network. They have already successfully served as intermediaries and judges for numerous similar events, so the credibility is high. The 100 million USD in Bitcoin includes a 5% fee for the platform's intermediary services. The platform will also conduct a fair and impartial investigation to confirm who killed Tavanna, I estimate that many Japanese hitman organizations or yakuza organizations have already received the message. Faced with such a huge temptation, they would definitely risk their lives to get it, even if they die alongside Tavanna, they could give their family and relatives a lifetime of wealth and honor."
Ye Chen couldn't help but spit out: "This is quite a tricky situation. The amount of this underground currency is so high, and even death won't invalidate it. Many desperate individuals would be willing to sacrifice their lives for their families' sake, or even the Three-Island Family's bodyguards might take advantage of the situation and kill Tavanna when no one's looking. As for her boyfriend, he can't resist this temptation either."
As Ye Chen spoke, he said: "Under these circumstances, it's impossible to seek help from the American embassy or Japanese police. If there are people at the embassy or police department who want to get their hands on this 100 million USD, Tavanna's life would be under extreme threat. Compared to that, the Three-Island Family is slightly safer, at least they won't put this 100 million USD in their sights, and they'll definitely do everything possible to protect Tavanna's safety... but whether the Three-Island Family has the power to protect Tavanna is still unknown."
Na-na worriedly replied: "That's why I came to ask you for help..." JrNovels.com
