Chapter 1771
The pair of siblings, Jaime and Sophie, had been transported directly to Kyoto ever since they were brought out of Tokyo. 1
At this time, the pair of siblings were imprisoned in a house less than two kilometers away from this place. 1
A few ninjas from the Iga family were in charge of guarding and keeping an eye on them, 7
They were all waiting for Yoshito's order. If Yoshito gave them the order to take action, then they would kill the brother and sister immediately before secretly transporting their dead bodies to the Ito family mansion. 2
However, before Yoshito issued any orders to them, they would have to keep the pair of siblings alive. Otherwise, it would not be convenient for them to transport and smuggle their dead bodies into the Ito family mansion if their bodies were to turn stiff after they had already died for quite some time. 2
The ninjas from the Iga family were the best at assassination. In their experience, the most convenient time for a person to move a corpse was within one hour after their death. At this time, the corpse would still be relatively soft and flexible, and it would even be possible to pack them into a suitcase. However, if they were to exceed this timeframe, then the corpse would have already turned stiff and rigid. 6
So, they were already prepared to kill the siblings immediately after receiving Yoshito's order. After that, they would then then transport their corpses to the Ito family mansion directly before looking for a suitable place to hide their corpses there. 3
Yoshito had just given them a call ten minutes ago to ask them to check out the situation at the Ito family mansion.
First of all, he wanted them to take a look at the Ito family mansion’s defence and security so they could determine the weakest link. After that, they would also have to look for a suitable place to hide the corpse. After determining everything, then they could kill the pair of siblings before bringing them over to the Ito family mansion directly. 2
So, one of the Iga ninjas sneaked into the Ito family's mansion alone as he was preparing to scout the site and its surroundings first. 5
Charlie, who was in Nanako’s room at this time, discovered this man's presence.
This man stayed high up on the wall as he observed the situation for a moment. It seemed as though he had decided on Nanako’s remote and secluded courtyard. After looking around and observing for a little longer, he took out his cell phone and took a few pictures before he slid down the wall quietly as he prepared to leave. 3
At this time, Charlie stood up before he told Nanako, "I
will go out for a while. Just wait for me here." 7
Nanako hurriedly asked, "Charlie-kun, where are you going?”
Charlie said, "That man just now is also a ninja. He came here alone, so there is an 80% probability that he was here to scout the place. So, there might be even more ninjas coming later. I will go and check it out!"
Nanako stretched out her hand to stop him as she said in a serious manner, "Charlie-kun, I beg you. Please don't go. You will be in danger!" 3
Charlie replied seriously, "If there are any other ninjas who are monitoring this place in secret, then it is very likely that they are conspiring against you. Even if I d o not look for them now, they might
come here soon anyway. If that is the case, then it will be better for me to take the initiative to get rid of them once and for all." 3
Nanako replied nervously, "But I am worried about you ...I don't want Charlie-kun to take risks because of me ..." 5
Charlie smiled slightly before he held her hand and said in a serious manner, "The reason why I came to Kyoto is because of you. No matter how difficult and severe the situation is, then I will definitely take care o f it since I am already here!" 3
After he was done speaking, Charlie let go of Nanako's hand before he turned around and left.
Charlie’s words struck Nanako directly in her heart.
Aside from being extremely touched and happy, she felt as though her heart had already melted because of his words. 9
When Charlie said those words, he was not showing off or praising himself. However, somehow his words seemed to have given Nanako an unprecedented sense of security.
Nanako finally realized at this moment that she was already hopelessly and irrevocably in love with
Charlie now. 4
She was willing to give up everything for him, and she would not have any hesitations at all even if she were t o give up her life for Charlie.
So, Nanako hurriedly reached out her hand and grabbed Charlie before she said piously, "Charlie- kun, please pay attention to your safety. If anything were to happen to you, then I will certainly sacrifice myself so I can die together with you!”
