Chapter 1986: Time is Running Out

Hattori Kazuo had just said that following Ye Chen's orders would never be wrong, but he hadn't expected that Ye Chen would turn around and have Wan Pojun give his own people such a pit-trapping mission.

Hattori Hanzo's expression was also awkward. If they were to publicly announce their cooperation with those experts from the Fei family and take responsibility for a terrorist attack that hadn't even happened, wouldn't that be equivalent to cutting themselves off from the Japanese people?

The uninformed Japanese public would surely curse the Iga Ninja, and the reputation of the Iga Ninja would likely never recover in this lifetime.

Hattori Kazuo couldn't help but plead: "Hall Master Wan... if we really issue this statement... the accumulation of our ancestors for hundreds of years will be destroyed in one fell swoop... Can you please plead with Master Ye and let him leave a way out for our Iga Ninja..."

Wan Pojun said coldly: "Hattori Kazuo, you came from Japan to the United States, attempting to kidnap Miss Gu; that in itself is a capital offense. Now Master Ye has spared your dog life and given your clansmen a chance to develop overseas, and you still want a way out? What way out? Do you still plan to return to Japan in the future? If you still plan to return to Japan, why would Master Ye give the Iga Ninja this opportunity? You must know, if Master Ye hadn't brought your clansmen to the United States in time, you would all have been dead by last night!"

Hattori Kazuo was speechless. Hattori Hanzo, standing to the side, choked up: "Hall Master Wan... our Iga Ninja have been passed down for many years and have always been the pride of the Japanese people. If we really lose our reputation in Japan, we will have failed the ancestors of the Iga Ninja!"

Wan Pojun said coldly: "Hattori Hanzo, Master Ye has made an exception to give the Iga Ninja a chance; you must certainly provide a 'pledge of allegiance' (toumingzhuang). From today on, you Iga Ninja must listen to Master Ye's orders wholeheartedly. You can forget about returning to Japan for the rest of your lives. If you want to go back, I can send you back now, but how the Fei family treats you next will be your own problem."

After saying this, he pointed at Hattori Kazuo and said coldly: "However, Hattori Kazuo, your father and the others can leave, but you and your seven subordinates cannot. Since you cannot accept Master Ye's conditions, then be prepared to accept the punishment."

Hattori Kazuo panicked and said without hesitation: "I am willing to follow Master Ye's lead!"

After saying this, he hurriedly looked at his father and blurted out: "Father! Say something! If you don't agree, even if the Iga Ninja return to Japan, they won't be valued by the Ito family, and the future will still be full of crises! But if we stay in the United States, once Master Ye deals with the Fei family, our future will be bright!"

Hattori Hanzo pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said: "Fine! The Iga Ninja are willing to follow all of Master Ye's arrangements!"

Wan Pojun nodded with satisfaction and said: "Since that's the case, don't waste time. I have already had a room prepared; you two go and film the video now."

Ten minutes later, a video recorded by Hattori Hanzo and Hattori Kazuo themselves spread across the internet.

In the video, the father and son sat in an empty room. To avoid being identified, the room was completely covered with white studio background paper. The two sat there, facing the camera, and revealed a shocking truth.

It turned out that the terrorist attack that occurred in Iga City last night was planned by them in conjunction with overseas forces. The explosives used in the attack were all provided by the Iga Ninja, and they had also surrendered their Iga County city to these terrorists.

However, they didn't expect that this matter would be discovered in advance by the Department of Homeland Security, which then launched a crackdown on the members of the overseas forces.

After explaining the sequence of events, the father and son also officially announced that the Iga Ninja would take responsibility for this incident.

As for the reason why the Iga Ninja did this, Hattori Hanzo explained that it was because they were very dissatisfied with the unfair treatment the Iga Ninja had received recently and decided to create some noise to express their protest.

Apart from this, Hattori Hanzo did not reveal the true identities of those overseas forces in the video, which was also at Ye Chen's instruction.

Although he intended to make Fei Haoyang a pariah, he was not prepared to ruin the reputation of the entire Fei family.

After all, in his plan, the Fei family still had to be handed over to Fei Jianzhong to continue managing. If the entire Fei family were tossed into a half-dead state, even if the old master took over again in the future, the entire Fei family would be a mess.

In the future, the old master would most likely still have to spend 200 billion USD to buy the Rejuvenating Pill. For such a potential big client, it was better to let him retain as much vitality as possible. ===== CHAPTER 1987 =====
