CHAPTER 712: CHAPTER 712: DYING WITH EYES OPENED

The Sato Family and the Akiyama Family both launched their final assault.

The scene of the slaughter was explosive and tragic.

On the rooftop, a figure gazed at the battlefield, eyes turning eerily cold and gloomy.

This person was Yamada Shigehiro. After arriving at the scene, he did not intervene immediately, but rather watched.

Simultaneously, his mind raced, pondering who the mastermind fanning the flames might be.

Yamada Shigehiro understood better than anyone that the current situation was out of control, and stopping it wouldn’t make much difference. Thus, he had no intention of interfering, and instead, wanted to see who exactly the mastermind was.

He saw the body of Moriuchi Makoto and also witnessed the scene of Han Bihong’s nine women joining the Akiyama Family’s faction. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying the opponent seemed.

"Akiyama Taitani and Sato Kawa, these two fools, are even dumber than ignorant savages," Yamada Shigehiro spat angrily.

He said seriously, "If I’m not mistaken, the mastermind behind all this should be those people, whether it’s the nine women helping the Akiyama Family or the two women assisting the Sato Family, they’re all in cahoots. And the leaders of these people should be the man and woman visiting the Sato Family; they are the true masterminds, and indeed, they orchestrated all of this."

"At this moment, Wanpu Company has suffered heavy losses. Apart from the casualties of the Akiyama Family and the Sato Family, the losses to the Divine Wind Bureau alone are enormous." Yamada Shigehiro lamented, "If we could kill the mastermind, eliminate these culprits, the situation might still have a chance to turn around. Otherwise, Wanpu Company will truly be finished."

"The mastermind must be killed. I’m extremely curious as to who is stirring up the storm." Yamada Shigehiro looked towards the depths of the Sato Family, his eyes full of murderous intent.

His figure leapt down from the rooftop, infiltrating further into the Sato Family.

He didn’t care about the scene of slaughter; rather than intervening, it was better to solve the problem at its root.

Naturally, he was brimming with confidence, relying on his extraordinary strength, he didn’t consider the enemies before him worth mentioning.

And he could guess, the opponent managed to bypass the Divine Wind Bureau and incited the Sato Family and the Akiyama Family’s killing, they must be afraid of him.

...

Half an hour later, Yamada Shigehiro finally approached the room where Ye Fan and Mengyao were and slipped in through the window.

Being able to traverse the battlefield and infiltrate the depths of the Sato Family showed Yamada Shigehiro’s capabilities.

"You finally showed yourself," Ye Fan said mockingly towards a dark corner.

He was waiting for Yamada Shigehiro to make a move, and firmly believed that Yamada Shigehiro couldn’t resist taking action.

The facts proved that Ye Fan’s thoughts were correct.

Only by killing Yamada Shigehiro could Wanpu Company be truly annihilated, as the enemies in the Realm of Human Limit cannot be underestimated and pose the greatest threat.

"You are indeed not simple. I thought I had hidden very well, but you still discovered me," Yamada Shigehiro said in surprise, stepping out from the corner.

He was confident that he approached silently; however, before he could gather information, his presence was already exposed, which shocked him greatly, yet he was indifferent because he did not regard Ye Fan as a threat.

In his mind, there wasn’t such a figure on the heavenly ranking, thus he possessed the arrogance to belittle Ye Fan.

Just as Sato Kawa and Sato Miyabi didn’t recognize Ye Fan and Mengyao’s true faces, Yamada Shigehiro was the same.

If Yamada Shigehiro knew, the presence before him was the terrifying existence that caused consecutive heavy losses to Wanpu Company, he wouldn’t be in this state now. Surely he would be treating this as a major threat, and even feeling fear would be expected.

"Who exactly are you?" Yamada Shigehiro urgently asked the question he wanted to know, speaking in a stern voice, "The reason the Akiyama Family and Sato Family fought is probably your doing, right?"

"You have a bit of sense. It’s not simple that you figured that out." Ye Fan said calmly, "However, as for who I am, you are not qualified to know."

"Arrogant and ignorant." Yamada Shigehiro’s expression was colder than cold steel, his murderous intent soaring, "Prepare to die. Daring to boast in front of me shows how foolish you are."

"You’re about to die yet unaware, and still spouting nonsense." Ye Fan said teasingly.

"Courting death!" Yamada Shigehiro, furious beyond restraint, attacked in a rage.

And thus, the two engaged in battle.

As soon as they engaged, Yamada Shigehiro’s expression tightened, full of disbelief, "Who are you? Who exactly are you? There’s no one like you on the heavenly ranking, yet your strength is vaguely above mine, how is this possible? Who exactly are you?"

"I told you, you are not qualified to know my identity," Ye Fan said calmly, with a firm foot strike, launching a fierce kick.

"I don’t believe this curse, die for me," Yamada Shigehiro’s murderous intent erupted.

After three moves, Yamada Shigehiro was sent flying.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft!" Several mouthfuls of blood spurted out like it cost nothing.

Yamada Shigehiro crashed to the ground, then flipped over to stand upright, but his eyes widened in a murderous glare.

"Impossible!"

"How is this possible!!"

"Your fighting power cannot be this formidable."

"Impossible!"

"It can’t be!!"

Yamada Shigehiro went berserk, roaring in incredulity.

A few moves later, Ye Fan delivered a fierce kick to Yamada Shigehiro’s chest, accompanied by the crunch of bones, sending him flying like a kite with a broken string. After crashing to the ground, he stood up in anger and terror, but then staggered and fell flat.

Yamada Shigehiro was on the verge of death.

"I am unwilling to die like this."

"I shouldn’t, just die like this."

"How can I, a dignified heavenly ranker, die?"

With such questions in mind, Yamada Shigehiro died unwillingly, uttering these words laboriously before expiring.

He certainly died unsatisfied, filled with suspicion and confusion about Ye Fan’s identity.

"Dawn is about to break; it’s also time to draw in the net." Ye Fan murmured softly.

Mengyao and Shen Yaqing had already appeared behind him.

"Master, what exactly should be done, please enlighten us?" Shen Yaqing asked.

"Let Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi pretend to retreat, and let Han Bihong’s nine women help the Akiyama Family annihilate the Sato Family," Ye Fan said indifferently.

"That would be best, let the Sato Family despair first, the Akiyama Family feel slightly triumphant, and then finish them off together." Shen Yaqing said excitedly.

And so, after Yamada Shigehiro’s death, the Akiyama Family and the Sato Family were also heading towards death.
