“Grandpa.” Asuka looked at Masato. “If you don’t die, do you expect the whole family to perish together with you? Once you’re dead, our family won’t have to worry anymore.” Masato glared at Asuka.
Asuka had no choice but to step forward and kneel before Jared. Jared looked at Asuka indifferently without saying a word and merely kicked a katana toward him.
Looking at the katana before him, Asuka fathomed Jared’s intention. He slowly picked up the katana while lifting his head to look at Jared. “I can die, but I hope you can spare the others.”
However, Jared didn’t spare Asuka a glance, nor did he acknowledge him. Seeing that, Asuka let out a resigned sigh, gently wiped the blood off the katana, and stabbed his own abdomen with the weapon.
Right before the katana pierced Asuka’s stomach, his eyes gleamed, and he swiftly changed the direction of the sword with a flick of his wrist to thrust it at Jared, who was standing very close and entirely off guard.
Pop! The katana was jabbed forcefully into Jared’s abdomen by Asuka. Unexpectedly, just as Asuka was about to celebrate, he realized the sword appeared stuck after it penetrated a certain distance into Jared’s body.
No matter how hard Asuka tried, he couldn’t push the sword any further. Shocked, he jerked his head up and noticed Jared sneering at him. Immediately afterward, Asuka saw a flash of white light before him.
Jared severed Asuka’s head with a sword while the katana fell from the latter’s hand. Only then did members of the Watanabe family see that the katana didn’t pierce Jared’s abdomen.
It didn’t even left a scratch on him. Jared, who had ascended to the level of Martial Arts Saint, had a physical toughness that couldn’t be penetrated by just anyone.
Thump! Subsequently, everyone from the Watanabe family fell to their knees. Even the arrogant. Masato trembled as he knelt. They were all begging for Jared’s forgiveness, hoping that he would spare them.
Jared stared at the kneeling members of the Watanabe family without the slightest trace of sympathy in his eyes. “Ryosuke!” Jared shouted. Ryosuke slowly got up and walked toward > Jared.
“You’ll handle the Watanabe family’s affairs on your own.” With that, Jared put away his Dragonslayer Sword and took a few steps back. Noticing that, Ryosuke picked up a katana from the ground and approached his family: members who were kneeling on the ground.
Complicated emotions filled his eyes. “Ryosuke, what are you doing? I’m your grandpa, Masato, quivering badly, shrieked.
The other members of the Watanabe family. also began to appeal to Ryosuke’s emotions. one after the other, hoping he could let them off the hook.
Conflict and agony churned within Ryosuke as he wielded the katana. Ryosuke’s feelings wouldn’t have been as intense if Jared were to kill them.
However, he was extremely torn if he had to execute them personally. Ryosuke turned to look at Jared, wishing he could get an answer from Jared.
At that moment, whether Jared instructed him to take action or let the Watanabe family go, Ryosuke would follow the orders without hesitation. To his surprise, Jared didn’t give him any command.
Instead, he turned around and retraced his steps. Jared didn’t care if Ryosuke would do it, but if Ryosuke showed mercy and spared those people, Jared would do away with Ryosuke without a second thought since Jared had told Kawano the Watanabes must die. At that instant, Jared was merely giving Ryosuke a test.
“Ahh!” Shortly after Jared spun on his heel, horrible screams sounded behind him. Eyes bloodshot, Ryosuke seemed to have turned into a madman as he relentlessly slaughtered his family members.
