Chapter 534: Chapter 533: Let Them Go
"Are you sure you know everything I want to know?" Yang Fei looked at the Japanese man kneeling before him, finally revealing a hint of a smile on his face.
As a person from the Divine Continent, Yang Fei had an innate hatred and aversion toward the Japanese.
When he first met Umekawa Taro, he had no good feelings for him, but as time passed, Umekawa Taro’s actions made Yang Fei see him in a new light, and they slowly became friends.
As for other Japanese, even if they weren’t good or evil, Yang Fei felt an inexplicable rejection and disgust deep in his bones.
Seeing Fujita Chong now displaying the inherent Japanese trait of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, Yang Fei felt quite pleased.
"I... I don’t know what you’d like to ask, but... but we’ve been together these last few days, so if you want to know about recent events in the Japan Martial World, I... I might know something," Fujita Chong cautiously said.
Yang Fei’s mouth curved upward as he praised, "Not bad, you’re quite clever."
Previously, after Kagaya Turtle slipped up and Yamamoto Sosuke chided him, followed by threats to Yang Fei which led to a conflict, Fujita Chong observed it all, so he deduced that Yang Fei must be interested in this news.
"In that case, you’re worthless," said Yang Fei as he turned his head to address Kagaya Turtle, whose face was blooming with peach flowers.
Kagaya Turtle also abruptly knelt to the ground, pleading with Yang Fei, "Don’t... don’t kill me, I also know many things, I can tell you whatever you want to know."
Fujita Chong hurriedly spoke first: "Mr. Tang Ren, you probably want to know why the Umekawa Family was targeted and what Kagaya Turtle mentioned about the Umekawa Family still being of use, right?"
Yang Fei asked with a smile, "You know about these things?"
"I do," Fujita Chong said anxiously.
Kagaya Turtle also immediately said, "I know too, I am from the Kagaya Family."
Human nature is the most fragile.
For most people, when their lives are threatened, to survive, things like dignity are worth no more than dog shit.
Kagaya Turtle and Fujita Chong, both scions of wealthy families and martial artists from the Japan Martial World, had grown up in luxury and with dignity, proud and noble. Now still so young, with a whole good life ahead to enjoy, faced with Yamamoto Sosuke being killed by Yang Fei in one move, they didn’t care about dignity anymore, but rather pleaded just to live.
Yang Fei nodded his head and said to Kagaya Turtle, "You first."
Fujita Chong was anxious, worried that he would no longer be of any use, but since Yang Fei asked Kagaya Turtle to speak first, he dared not object.
As if he’d received an imperial pardon, Kagaya Turtle hurriedly said, "Actually, the reason the Kagaya Family dared to move against the Umekawa Family this time is because several of the great forces banded together, but it’s just that for the time being, it’s our Kagaya Ryu that is taking the lead."
Yang Fei turned to Fujita Chong: "Is what he said correct?"
Fujita Chong nodded hurriedly: "That’s right."
Yang Fei prompted Kagaya Turtle to continue.
Kagaya Turtle hesitated, a bit slow to react, and tentatively asked, "What else would you like to know?"
Yang Fei couldn’t help but laugh.
This guy might have been knocked silly, his brains not quite functioning right.
Fujita Chong found his opportunity, speaking as if to claim credit, "Mr. Tang Ren, are you here to help the Umekawa Family because you have a friend from the Umekawa Family?"
Yang Fei frowned slightly, "I asked you to tell me, not to ask."
Fujita Chong shivered with fear, crawling on the ground, and hastily said, "I’m sorry, Mr. Tang Ren, I... what I meant is, if you’ve come to help your friend, then you might take your friend and flee far away before the other forces launch their final assault on the Umekawa Family."
This guy is very clever, he thinks he has figured out Yang Fei’s purpose for coming to Japan, so he suggested what he thinks is the most ideal opinion.
"Yes, although you’re formidable, facing the joint encirclement of several major forces, the Umekawa Family won’t be able to hold on, and this family is bound to be expelled from the Japan Martial World and become history," the Kagaya Turtle followed up.
Yang Fei nodded silently.
Although he wasn’t particularly familiar with the situation of Japan’s Martial World, he was aware that if several major forces joined hands to attack a certain force, the one being attacked would hardly have a chance to turn the situation around.
Even the Taoist, once the most awesome existence in the Hidden Sect World, wasn’t it overthrown by the alliance of the Eight Great Forces?
The strength of the Umekawa Family in Japan was definitely not comparable to that of the Taoist within the Hidden Sect World, so the decline of the Umekawa Family was already a foregone conclusion.
Yang Fei’s purpose for coming to Japan wasn’t to help the Umekawa Family turn the tide, but to ensure the safety of Umekawa Taro, to prevent this brother, who had gone through life and death with him, from being involved in the downfall of his family.
Of course, if he could help the Umekawa Family overcome the difficulty, Yang Fei wouldn’t mind lending his full support, but when the overall situation was beyond defiance, he wouldn’t persist to the end senselessly.
"You previously said that the Umekawa Family hasn’t been destroyed yet because the family still has some value to use, what do you mean by that?" Yang Fei asked, looking at the bloodied face of Kagaya Turtle.
The Kagaya Turtle had lost all his teeth, and although his speech was windy and indistinct, it was still intelligible to Yang Fei.
All he said was: "Both Yamamoto Sosuke and I heard about this matter from the elders of our clans, but I don’t know what specific value the Umekawa Family still holds."
Yang Fei was very disappointed.
He couldn’t get the vital information he was after, and he turned his gaze toward Fujita Chong.
Fujita Chong, noticing that Yang Fei wasn’t satisfied with Kagaya Turtle’s answer, his eyeballs spun around, and he said, "The reason why the major forces haven’t launched their final attack on the Umekawa Family is probably to fish in troubled waters, to use the Umekawa Family to deal with someone else."
Yang Fei nodded silently.
In fact, he had already guessed this, but he just wanted to hear it directly from the mouth of these scions from the major Japanese families.
"What else do you know?" Yang Fei asked.
This time, not just Kagaya Turtle, but even Fujita Chong was somewhat confused; they really didn’t know which messages Yang Fei was interested in.
The key point was that they were both juniors in their respective families, and not the type who could enter the upper echelons of the families, so the information they knew was limited.
"If you want to know more, it’s probably no use trying to get it from their mouths, why not let them leave, how about that?"
Suddenly, a pleasant female voice reached Yang Fei’s ears.
Everyone in the private room was startled, and they all turned their heads toward Chiba Susumu, who was sitting on the sofa.
Since Yang Fei started his onslaught, everyone in the private room had ignored the presence of Chiba Susumu because she had been sitting quietly on the sofa from the beginning to the end, watching everything unfold like an unconcerned bystander.
When everyone else in the private room had been screaming and fleeing, only Chiba Susumu stayed put as if she had been spooked by the Kagaya Turtle, sitting motionless the whole time.
Nobody expected that she would speak up at this moment.
Yang Fei was also surprised.
Although he had never seen Chiba Susumu as the type of missy to be scared dumb from the beginning, and he had noticed that this woman was the most special among these Japanese, he did not expect her to choose this time to speak, and to make such a request.
"Do you mean to say, they don’t know the information I want, but you do?" Yang Fei asked, looking at Chiba Susumu with curiosity.
"Yes," Chiba Susumu said, looking directly at Yang Fei, and nodded slowly.
