“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 Jagoan.
Jagoan looked at Asuka indifferently without saying a word and merely kicked a katana toward him.
Looking at the katana before him, Asuka fathomed Jagoan’s intention.
He slowly picked up the katana while lifting his head to look at Jagoan. “I can die, but I hope you can spare the others…”
However, Jagoan 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 Jagoan, who was standing very close and entirely off guard.
Pop!
The katana was jabbed forcefully into Jagoan’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 Jagoan’s body. No matter how hard Asuka tried, he couldn’t push the sword any further.
Shocked, he jerked his head up and noticed Jagoan sneering at him.
Immediately afterward, Asuka saw a flash of white light before him.
Jagoan 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 Jagoan’s abdomen. It didn’t even left a scratch on him!
Jagoan, 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 Jagoan’s forgiveness, hoping that he would spare them.
Jagoan stared at the kneeling members of the Watanabe family without the slightest trace of sympathy in his eyes.
“Ryosuke!” Jagoan shouted.
Ryosuke slowly got up and walked toward Jagoan.
“You’ll handle the Watanabe family’s affairs on your own.” With that, Jagoan 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.
Conflict and agony churned within Ryosuke as he wielded the katana.
Ryosuke’s feelings wouldn’t have been as intense if Jagoan were to kill them. However, he was extremely torn if he had to execute them personally.
Ryosuke turned to look at Jagoan, wishing he could get an answer from Jagoan.
At that moment, whether Jagoan instructed him to take action or let the Watanabe family go, Ryosuke would follow the orders without hesitation.
To his surprise, Jagoan didn’t give him any command. Instead, he turned around and retraced his steps.
Jagoan didn’t care if Ryosuke would do it, but if Ryosuke showed mercy and spared those people, Jagoan would do away with Ryosuke without a second thought since Jagoan had told Kawano the Watanabes must die.
At that instant, Jagoan was merely giving Ryosuke a test.
“Ahh!”
Shortly after Jagoan 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.
