In the Iga ninja clan, both the ninjas and their family members had been enforcing military management for hundreds of years, with very strict management from top to bottom.Therefore, when Hanzo gave the order, the whole clan began their intensive preparations immediately. All the ninjas put down all of their affairs immediately and they rushed to school to pick up all the children who were attending school. Some of the elderly who were hospitalized due to illness were also picked up from the hospital by their families, as long as their lives were not in danger.All the female family members began packing their luggage quickly at home. Everyone followed Hanzo’s orders strictly and they only brought necessities and small valuables with them, leaving the rest at home, even if they knew that they might not be able to return here in their lifetime. They were not allowed to bring a large amount of luggage. Originally, a five-hour evacuation time was scheduled but the entire Iga ninja
Spencer said coldly, “Make sure to control the head of the Iga ninjas as well as the other key people! Cut off all their ears for me first when the time comes!”The person in charge said without hesitation, “Don’t worry, Master! We’ll definitely complete the task!”However, the person in charge never would have dreamt that Porter had already disclosed an anonymous message to the Japan Homeland Security Department a few hours ago that an overseas force of over a hundred people would infiltrate Iga City that night to create a terrorist attack.According to the original workflow of the Japanese Homeland Security Department, they would have to analyze the reliability of the information first in a systematic manner, and confirm that the credibility of the information was high enough before they would make advance deployment based on the information intelligence. However, the mysterious person who had revealed this information to them only said one thing that put the entire Homeland Sec
Most of the experts sent by the Fox family were martial arts experts from all over the world.In addition to Oskian martial arts experts, there were many experts who had studied martial arts from other countries.In the field of international martial arts, there was Korea’s taekwondo, Japanese karate and ninjutsu, Thai boxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, as well as Western boxing and actual combat from Europe and the United States. All of these had their own place and they were all very popular martial arts directions.However, most of these martial arts from other countries did not have a complete internal strength method and most of them simply found a little internal strength by accident.And many Oskian martial arts schools had gradually lost their internal strength methods. So, there was no real big gap between their actual combat ability with that of other martial arts. At this stage, there were also many other martial arts experts from other countries who could raise their own st
However, this was also why the Japanese Homeland Security Department had been condemned wildly by the domestic public.The department could only suppress its anger, and they had always been trying to find an opportunity to turn things around. However, Japan was currently peaceful inside and out, and there was no stage for them to play.The Ito family had become the number one family in the country with an absolute advantage, and several major ninja forces were also attached and dependent on the Ito family. As a result, the internal fighting between the big families and the ninja forces had also stopped completely. And ever since Rosalie’s escape, no powers abroad have chosen to focus on Japan and the entire Homeland Security Department was suddenly placed on the pillar of shame.So, the mysterious tip-off this time became the key to the entire Homeland Security Department to turn things around!***Iga City was in itself a very small city. Even though it was called a city, it wa
When the others heard him say so, they did not ponder further about it anymore.However, at this time, there was not even a single dog in the large Iga County Castle, yet, it was brightly lit.Just two hours ago, Nanako had instructed the Koga ninjas to sneak into Iga County Castle to disguise it as if it was inhabited and also to prepare a superb gift for the experts from the Fox family.This group of experts from the Fox family was unaware of this deception, and they scattered in all directions in the night as they effortlessly tumbled through the outer wall, moving into the outer wall of Iga Country Castle.Meanwhile, the anti-terrorism unit was monitoring the group’s movements closely through the drones deployed hundreds of meters above the ground. When the person in charge of the scene saw them sneaking into Iga County Castle swiftly, he asked the commander for instructions immediately, “Sir, the targets have all entered Iga County Castle. All the helicopters are ready and our
The Iga ninjas who were sitting on the plane to the United States were still in a somewhat somber mood.Their clan had survived in Japan for hundreds of years, but this would be the first time that their entire clan was fleeing from their homeland. Many of them were still longing for the time when they would be able to return to their homeland.However, they never would have dreamt that their home, which was centuries old, had already been blown to pieces under Charlie’s instructions.The fire was still burning wildly, and at this time, the group of experts from the Fox family had been killed and injured, but all those who had been injured in the explosion were unable to escape. As for those who had managed to escape the explosion and the fire, they were still in shock. All of a sudden, they realized that several helicopters were flying around and there were elite anti-terrorist soldiers with loaded ammunition hanging from both sides of the helicopter. The bodies of these anti-t
This news suddenly became explosive news in Japan overnight.After a few months of calm since the last Tokyo chaos, no one would have expected that there would be a new terrorist attack today.Fortunately, their special forces were brave and good at fighting, managing to avoid the tragedy.This was truly a great relief to many Japanese people, and it also changed their impression of the Japanese Homeland Security Department.However, there were still many people who could not understand why those terrorists who had come from abroad had not targeted big cities like Tokyo, Osaka, or Nagoya, but would instead find a sh*tty godforsaken place between Osaka and Nagoya to carry out a terrorist attack.This question also resonated with a lot of people on the internet. Everyone really could not figure it out. It was akin to a group of well-organized thieves who had traveled thousands of miles to your house but had not stolen anything, simply taking an egg from the chicken coop.The Japa
When Spencer saw Xavion’s panicked appearance, he could not help but frown as he said, “How many times do you want me to scold you? Can’t you be a little more composed?! You’re the eldest son of the Fox family, but you’re in such a mess when you encounter something. Won’t you lose your reputation if outsiders were to find out about this?!”Xavion did not bother to explain himself and so, he swallowed his saliva and hurriedly said in a panic, “Dad! There’s something big going on in Japan!”Spencer looked at the time and said, “What’s the big deal? They just reported their progress to me not too long ago. They should have just started to invade the Iga ninjas’ compound. How can something big happen so soon? What’s the big deal? Could it be that they have alerted the enemy?”“No...” Xavion blurted out, “Japan’s homeland security department released news that there was a terrorist attack in Iga County Castle where the Iga ninjas are located. They said that the group of terrorists from a
Though Jacob had nothing going for him, he had always had a huge ego, and he had never once admitted that he would lose to anyone in the presence of his wife and daughter.That was why both Elaine and Claire were shocked when he suddenly openly admitted that he was a piece of shit in front of them. They had never heard such a thing from him in the decades they had lived with him!In fact, Jacob himself was reluctant to insult himself like that.However, Charlie told him repeatedly that he absolutely must say it before he came here—because Charlie was dead sure that this line was the key to getting over this impasse, and it truly did put this crisis to rest.Even as Jacob finished, his heart was bleeding as he felt like he had just put his pride on the floor and trampled all over it until it was crushed to oblivion. Even though it was to clear any suspicion Elaine held toward him, to call himself a piece of shit—to say it himself that his beloved woman would think him beneath her,
Before Elaine knew it, she was reading the website she had just read again, and she did indeed find Yolden's name on it.With that, everything Charlie had said snapped together into a perfect chain of logic.Seeing the troubled look on her face, Charlie quickly added, "I'm not going to lie—Dad told me right away when he was told Matilda was getting married. We even discussed if we should tell you, and now you know why." "Matilda is doing so well for herself and got such an amazing husband, and they've picked Shangri-La's Sky Garden—something an average Joe could never hope to reach. And since she invited our whole family and not just us, Dad had to really think about it.""Eventually, he told me to hide it from you or it'd leave you devastated, so none of us said anything. We just didn't think you'd find that invitation and then end up having a big fight about it."Sighing, Charlie then continued, "But if you really want to go, we can go together for their wedding to put your min
Bitterness swelled in Elaine's heart as she really didn't think that Matilda was doing so well for herself.The fact that Matilda was worth millions alone made her far superior.At the same time, she was also rejoicing that she had never actually met Matilda. If Matilda asked how she was doing directly, how would she respond?In the end, Matilda was no Hannah Queen.Elaine would actually feel accomplished if she compared herself to Hannah.On the other hand, Matilda eclipsed Elaine in every way—she was more beautiful, kind, smart, and knowledgeable. Even her figure left Elaine dead in the water!It was as pointless as comparing a hen to a peacock!Whenever she thought of her, she could comfort herself that she had stolen her man even if she couldn't measure up in any way.But now, Jacob was completely insignificant to Matilda while Elaine still treated Jacob like a trophy.Even as a sense of inferiority seized her, Charlie sighed. "Come on, you should understand where Jacob is
"Exactly!"Charlie agreed, striking the metal while it was hot. "To be honest, the years Matilda spent in the States would be wasted if she was actually still interested!" "She's a Wall Street veteran who'd definitely have met so many successful men! Why would she be interested in a loser like Jacbo Wilson? It's not like she returned from the States after thirty years to help the poor, don't you agree?"Charlie then finished with a sigh. "The way I see it? You're the only one who'd be interested in him."Jacob heard that from behind the wall and was left absolutely fuming and humiliated.He was the only one who knew that Matilda had come back for him—even if she was worth millions now.However, he just didn't have the spine to divorce Elaine and get together with Matilda.He presumed that it was no rush and that he could just give Elaine the silent treatment—who knew, she might just give in and ask for a divorce herself, and then, he would have no issues getting together with M
"Her real lover?!" Elaine exclaimed in shock. "What are you talking about?"Charlie put on a serious face as she said, "Matilda came back to Oskia for her one true love, who is now her fiance. His name is Yolden Hart, a top economist who's now a lecturer at Aurous Hill University, who was invited all the way from the States. He's a professional manager and used to work in Wall Street, so he'd be qualified to be a CEO in any Fortune 500 company…""Professional manager?" Elaine pouted. "That still means he's a wage slave!"Charlie laughed. "Don't underestimate professional managers now. Just look at Apple Inc.'s CEO—the man earns around a hundred million USD per year, and that's over seven hundred million in Oskian dollars!"Elaine was left gaping, unable to imagine how a wage slave could earn so much.At the same time, Charlie continued, "To be fair, Professor Hart wouldn't earn that much, but 50 million per year is still no sweat for him. Do you get the amount of money we're talki
Elaine appeared taken aback, and she promptly demanded, "You've met Matilda too?!"It was only then that Claire realized she had let the cat out of the bag, and she suddenly didn't know what to say. "Oh… Uh… Mom… I, uh… didn't?"Nonetheless, Elaine was suddenly pressing her menacingly, "If you've never met her, how would you know she's a serious person?!"As Claire stayed silent, Elaine broke down in tears. "No… You're lying to me too! Aren't you?!"While Claire was left at a loss of how she should salvage this mess, Charlie suddenly entered and said, "Claire didn't—but I did.""What?!" Elaine was left staring at Charlie, stunned.Still, she soon demanded, "Y-You've met Matilda?! Did Jacob take you with him to see her?""Yes," Charlie admitted, nodding.Elaine snapped right then, and she bellowed, "Then why didn't you tell me?! To think that I've always done right by you, treating you like my own son, but you wouldn't tell me that Jacob is cheating on me! Y-You disappoint me!"
Jacob certainly left Charlie speechless—the man might get kicked out of the house, but he was more worried about his car.Sighing in exasperation, he told Jacob, "Look, if it fails, I won't be able to get you a nice place, let alone leave the Cullinan with you."Jacob blurted out, "But why—""Don't forget—I'm still living in this house even if you're gone!" Charlie explained, his expression dead serious. "If I let you have a nice place and the Cullinan, God knows how terrible a grudge your wife would hold against me. I need to have a sense of self-preservation too!""If I got you a rundown apartment, I could at least defend myself even if she gets upset about that. I mean, I can't let you sleep in the streets, can I? Claire and I would be guilty of abandoning our elders."Seeing the serious look on Charlie's face, Jacob breathed a long sigh as he clapped him on the shoulder, groaning mournfully, "Oh, I get it. I wouldn't want to upset Elaine if I were in your shoes too…"Charlie
Charlie sighed. "I told you it'd blow up, Dad, but you had to doubt me.""I wasn't doubting you," Jacob promptly defended himself. "I thought I might catch a lucky break—"Charlie cut him short, "Fair enough. Then, how are you going to handle this? I can try to stop Mom from going to that wedding and prevent her from getting in the hall even if she went, but what's going to happen to the both of you? Do you want a divorce or do you want to stay with her?"The light in Jacob's faded as he shrugged and sighed. "If I could divorce her, I would've—and I would be living happily with Matilda now. What company would I have if I did it now? Do you think Elaine would let me stay in Thompson First, with that attitude of hers?""In the end, I'd be chased out without a place to stay, and I can't suffer the humiliation of moving back with my mom and brother, can I? Hell, they might not even take me back!""So, that's a no?" Charlie pressed.Jacob smiled wryly. "At my age, even if I could, I w
Hearing that Elaine was threatening suicide, Claire exclaimed urgently, "Take me to her now!"The traffic police officer quickly nodded. "Come on!"As the traffic police officer quickly led Claire to Elaine, Charlie arrived just then and gave chase after leaving the luggage by the entrance.Stopping them, he asked, "Excuse me, officer—where's the gentleman who came with Madam Parker? May I see him?""And who are you?" The traffic police officer asked."I'm his son-in-law," Charlier replied. "I was thinking that while my wife talks to her mom, I can talk to my father-in-law, make peace, and take them both home.""Oh, that'd be great!"The traffic police officer exclaimed and quickly beckoned at a colleague, "Come over. Take this gentleman to Jacob Wilson!""Okay!" The other traffic police officer was also quite enthusiastic.Charlie entered the room where Jacob was first, immediately seeing a disfigured Jacob taking deep puffs of his cigarette.Another traffic police officer w
