Miyamoto's greedy eyes seemed to be hooked on the pearl.
Even with the box closed, I couldn't look away.
Genzo took a deep breath; his patience with this good-for-nothing was almost at its limit.
"Yes, absolutely."
Miyamoto Soban looked away with difficulty, seemingly remembering his identity: "What I mean is, so-so."
He stretched out his hand, his excitement barely concealed in his voice: "Give it to me."
Genzo gave a cold laugh, and instead of giving him the box, he handed it to Uesugi Yuuga who was standing next to him.
"What do you mean?!"
Watching the treasure he had just acquired slip away, Miyamoto Shuangban questioned him.
"This is for Lord Shimazo."
Genzo said coldly, "I need to hand it over to Lord Shimazo personally."
"You don't trust me!" Miyamoto Soban's voice rose, trying his best to prove his status: "I was personally chosen by the head of the family, don't push your luck!"
Genzo's fists hardened, and he felt nauseous.
At a time like this, why would the head of the Miyamoto family send someone like this to annoy him?
"This is the head of the family's intention."
Genzo warned, "You must hand it over to Lord Shimazo personally. If anything goes wrong, even seppuku cannot make up for it."
Upon hearing that he was to commit seppuku, Miyamoto Sōbō panicked, and his expression became unnatural.
After all, in the underworld, seppuku is no joke; its occurrence signifies that something is very serious.
Panic set in; Miyamoto Shuangban had been intimidated.
Genzo said coldly, "Now, can we meet Lord Shimazo?"
Miyamoto Shuangban nodded quickly: "Yes, that's fine."
He paused for a moment, then glanced around at the people, whose eyes were full of disdain.
"However, only a few of you can go in."
In an effort to save face, Miyamoto Soban, imagining himself as a general, called out a few people.
Yuan Xiangye didn't say anything. It was impossible for him to let all his underlings go in anyway. His actions not only failed to save face, but made him look more like a clown.
Let's go.
Beside him were the leaders of the generation he had recruited three years ago, and a photographer. He then led the suitcase and said, "Lead the way."
Having reached this point, Miyamoto Soka had no other choice but to walk ahead with a dark expression.
After walking through the courtyard, a wooden house soon came into view.
Genzo gripped the box tightly, his heart pounding as if it were about to leap out of his chest.
The day has finally come!
Once Miyamoto Shimazo dies, the Orochi clan, suppressed for years, will return to the pinnacle of the underworld! Return to the pinnacle of Hiei Castle!
This goal had always been buried in his heart, and he thought it would never be possible to achieve it.
But now this opportunity is truly right in front of me!
Miyamoto Shimazo is dead. Only one last step remains to completely expose the Miyamoto family's true nature!
When faced with the ravenous wolf, the Orochi clan, it will be devoured!
Letting out a long breath, Yuan Xiangye stood outside the wooden house and bowed to those inside.
"Lord Shimazura, a few days ago all the people of our Flying Cherry City felt an inexplicable sense of sorrow."
"After carefully reviewing the records, I discovered that this meant a venerable person had passed away."
"The Orochi family is concerned about Lord Shimazura's safety, so they specially sent a junior to visit him, along with a pearl from a calamity-level beast."
He slowly raised his head, gazing intently at the wooden house.
"Please come out for a chat, Lord Shimazura!"
Miyamoto Shuangban was stunned. So the sorrow he felt earlier was because a Venerable One had fallen?
What is the purpose of the Orochi clan's visit this time?
Even if he was stupid, he understood when the hungry wolf bared its fangs that the Orochi family had come with ill intentions!
These words were broadcast live and blatantly on the televisions of every resident's home.
Most people felt a chill run down their spines, swallowed hard, and looked at the wooden house in the picture, realizing that Feiying City was probably about to change!
There was also a slight sense of panic.
"The Venerable One has fallen?! How is that possible!"
"How could a Venerable One have fallen? That's the strongest realm for humanity! Who has the power to bring about his demise?!"
"Could it really be the Venerable One from Flying Cherry Blossom City?! Then..."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"What is the Orochi clan trying to do?! Are they not afraid that Lord Shimazo will be angry if he lives?"
"Could it be... that they have evidence?"
"Could Lord Shimazo have really perished???"
I thought it was just another pointless struggle by the Orochi clan, but now it seems they're going to turn the world upside down in Hiei Castle!
Qin Sheng was also watching the television, looking at the peaceful wooden house as he waited.
In the pink room, Uesugi Sakura was also hugging a whale-shaped pillow and staring at the TV.
Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, the sadness that had suddenly arisen a few days ago was now explained, making her curious to continue watching.
Outside the wooden house, the four members of the Yuanxiang family stared intently at the unresponsive door, which remained completely silent.
The world fell silent at that moment, and everyone awaited the appearance of Miyamoto Shimazo.
The photographer also sensed the heavy atmosphere. The camera he had been carrying suddenly felt incredibly heavy, like carrying a mountain.
But he still pointed the camera at the wooden house, after all, he was also a member of the Yagi clan!
After a few minutes of silence, a hint of excitement appeared in Yuan Xiangye's eyes.
Viewers watching the live stream also began spreading the word in their respective circles, expressing concern that the Venerable One's fall might affect the safety of Flying Cherry City.
It seems the situation has already been settled at this point.
"That's thoughtful of you."
Miyamoto Shimazo's calm voice appeared, but it struck the hearts of Genzo and the others like a thunderclap.
"I won't accept the gift. My old bones can live for a long time, so I won't trouble the Orochi family with their concerns."
His voice was completely devoid of emotion, as if he hadn't cared about the Orochi family's probing at all.
Genzo took a deep breath and looked at the wooden house with a determined gaze.
"Lord Shimazura, we are truly concerned for your safety. This pearl is a gift that the four of us have carefully prepared, and we wish to present it to you personally."
Based on the sound alone, it's too early to draw conclusions!
Genzo Shono resolutely chose to continue, pushing the situation to an irreversible point.
Now that Miyamoto Shimazo has spoken out, his continued actions are undoubtedly telling everyone that he does not believe Miyamoto Shimazo is still alive!
The fact that the cards were revealed also meant that if Miyamoto Shimazo were alive, he would certainly be angry at this moment.
It's hard not to get angry when a junior keeps testing you, subtly and overtly implying that you're finished.
It goes without saying who will bear this wrath.
At this moment, both the people present and the viewers watching on television could feel the invisible tension.
Even on the spot, Yuan Xiangye didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt an invisible pressure on him.
Gritting his teeth, he had to prove Miyamoto Shimazo dead today!
Otherwise, does the Orochi clan really have a chance to turn things around?!
"Young man, you've gone too far."
