Chapter 2126 He asked for his own death.
The office of the chairman of Genting Investments.
Hayato Tsunekawa looked at Kanako Takeami standing in front of him with a grim expression and asked in a deep voice, "Is the information reliable?"
Kanako Takeyu replied respectfully, "Reliable."
"So, Hengchuan Daishi didn't return to the U.S., but went to Osaka instead?"
Hayato Tsunekawa seemed to want to confirm something.
“Yes, young master,” Kanako Takeyu replied. “The day after he returned to Osaka, the Miyazaki family sent Yuko Miyazaki to China.”
A fierce glint flashed in Hayato Tsunekawa's eyes as he sneered, "It seems I underestimated Daishi Tsunekawa! His apparent cowardice was all an act."
Takeyu Kanako hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.
"Just say what you have to say."
Hayato Tsunekawa noticed her hesitation and said in a deep voice.
Kanako Takeyu thought for a moment, then said cautiously, “Young Master, you’re right. Taishi Tsunekawa is indeed only outwardly weak. In reality, he’s very cunning. Back in the U.S., he always appeared harmless and indifferent to worldly affairs. In fact, he subtly sowed discord in front of your father, causing your father to harbor resentment towards Guanghua-kun on several occasions…”
"So what do you think of his trip to Osaka this time?"
Hayato Tsunekawa didn't seem surprised and asked again.
Kanako Takeyu said, "I think his trip to Osaka was to provoke the Miyazaki family to deal with Pi Yangyang. If the Miyazaki family successfully assassinates Pi Yangyang, then he can use this incident to marginalize the young master, or even strip you of your inheritance rights in the Hengchuan family."
"So, Miyazaki Yuko came to China to assassinate Pi Yangyang?"
Hayato Tsunekawa frowned, and the cold light in his eyes grew even colder.
“I think so,” Kanako Takeyu answered with certainty. “Yuko Miyazaki is the most outstanding martial arts genius of the younger generation in the Miyazaki family. Moreover, she has received guidance from a renowned master and practices ancient Chinese martial arts. She cultivated internal strength at the age of fifteen and could project her internal energy externally at sixteen, which is truly remarkable. She is only nineteen years old now, but it is said that her cultivation has already broken through to the Martial Venerable Realm…”
Before Kanako Takeyu could finish speaking, Hayato Tsunekawa couldn't help but sneer coldly, "Martial Venerable Realm... Didn't she investigate Pi Yangyang? A mere Martial Venerable Realm cultivator, trying to kill him? That's wishful thinking!"
Kanako Takeyu didn't think there was anything wrong with what Hayato Tsunekawa said.
Although she had never witnessed Pi Yangyang's prowess firsthand, she knew that Hengchuan Hayato had nearly died at his hands several times.
Hayato Tsunekawa also practices ancient Chinese martial arts, and he has already broken through the peak of the Martial Emperor realm, making him a half-step Grandmaster.
However, Hayato Tsunekawa still lacks confidence that he can beat Yangyang Pi.
According to Hengchuan Hayato, Pi Yangyang's cultivation level is unfathomable, at least at the mid-stage of a minor grandmaster.
With his current cultivation level, there's no way he can defeat him, so he can only endure it.
"According to our intelligence, Yuko Miyazaki has also brought several top assassins from the Iga Clan with her this time. In addition, Kojiro Miyazaki has also arrived in China."
Takeyu Kanako reported again.
"The top assassins of the Iga Clan?" Hayato Tsunekawa sneered again. "They're just practice for Pi Yangyang. Let alone Pi Yangyang, they can't even handle Pi Yangyang's bodyguards."
Kanako Takeyu didn't say anything.
She never doubted what Tsunekawa Hayato said.
"Miyazaki Kojiro? This useless piece of trash who's good for nothing has also brought himself to China? Are they trying to get themselves killed already?"
Hayato Tsunekawa gave another disdainful sneer and said slowly.
"Young Master, is there anything we need to do?"
Takeyu Kanako thought for a moment and then asked for instructions.
A cold glint flashed in Hengchuan Hayato's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "On the surface, they are here for Pi Yangyang, but their real purpose is to consolidate Hengchuan Daishi's position in the Hengchuan family and help him eventually become the family heir!"
"Of course I can't just sit here and wait to die. I must make the Miyazaki family pay the price for their arrogance!"
A hint of surprise and doubt flickered in Takeyu Kanako's expression.
But she didn't ask any more questions and waited for Tsunekawa Hayato's instructions.
Hayato Tsunekawa said, "You just need to keep an eye on the movements of Yuko Miyazaki and the others, and report to me as needed. You don't need to worry about anything else."
"Hi!"
Kanako Takeyu gave a respectful reply and left the office.
A sinister smile crept across Tsunekawa Hayato's lips as he muttered to himself, "I've invested so much in training you; now it's time for you to serve me!"
…………
Less than two hours later, Wei Hongyi called Pi Yangyang.
"Ninth Master, everything has been investigated."
"explain."
"Two people from the Miyazaki family have come. One is Miyazaki Kojiro. He is a spoiled brat and the most useless member of the Miyazaki family. The other is Miyazaki Yuko, who is nineteen years old. Although she is a girl, she is highly regarded by the head of the Miyazaki family, Miyazaki Akinobu, who regards her as the guardian of the family's future."
Wei Hongyi reported.
Pi Yangyang asked with some surprise, "Miyazaki Yuko, nineteen years old, and a girl?"
"Yes, Ninth Master, don't underestimate her just because she's a girl. She's said to be a martial arts prodigy. She started practicing martial arts at the age of five and had already developed internal strength by the age of fifteen. She's a true successor of ancient martial arts. According to information from her family, Miyazaki Yuko has already reached the mid-stage of the Martial Venerable Realm. She's truly a rare martial arts prodigy."
Wei Hongyi had clearly done a thorough research on Miyazaki Yuko and specifically reminded Pi Yangyang of this.
"Moreover, despite being only nineteen years old, she is very mature and capable of handling things independently. Otherwise, Miyazaki Akio would not have sent her to China."
Pi Yangyang's lips curled into a playful smile as he calmly asked, "Besides that, who else?"
"Besides the two of them, there are five other ninjas from the Momochi family of the Iga clan. Among them, Momochi Senri is the leader, and the other four are Chunin: Momochi Yuta, Momochi Hiroichi, Momochi Miwa, and Momochi Yuki."
Wei Hongyi replied.
Pi Yangyang couldn't help but smile.
He used to be a little curious about Japanese ninjas.
Because whether in folk tales or in movies and TV shows, the ninjas of Japan are not only mysterious, but also truly formidable.
They kill without a trace, appearing and disappearing without a trace, and possess methods that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Techniques like Firework Escape, Earth Escape, and Shadow Clone are indeed very cool.
But after several encounters with ninjas, he has come to a complete understanding that these fancy skills are, in essence, just illusions.
If we're really talking about methods, the tricks used by itinerant performers in China are probably no less effective than theirs.
"Ninth Master, you still need to be careful. I have a feeling they're after you."
Seeing that Pi Yangyang hadn't said anything, Wei Hongyi reminded him with some concern.
Pi Yangyang asked calmly, "Why do you think that?"
"The Hengchuan and Miyazaki families have been working on the Baicun rare earth mine for decades, waiting for this opportunity to mine it illegally. But you ultimately ruined it, and they suffered huge losses. Given the consistent behavior of these two families, they certainly won't swallow this insult. This time, they sent people to China, which must be to retaliate against you."
Wei Hongyi said solemnly.
Pi Yangyang smiled nonchalantly, "If that's really the case, then they're just asking for trouble."
Wei Hongyi was silent for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "Ninth Master, there's something... I don't know if I should say it..."
Pi Yangyang's eyes narrowed, and his tone suddenly became serious, "What is it?"
“I shouldn’t say more, but… now that the Hengchuan family and the Miyazaki family are targeting you, I… I think I should tell you.”
Wei Hongyi was clearly conflicted, and she spoke haltingly.
Pi Yangyang's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in a deep voice, "You mean... the massacre of my Yan family back then is related to these two families?"
Wei Hongyi hummed in agreement, then breathed a sigh of relief. "So Ninth Master already knew?"
"I guessed!" Pi Yangyang said without any concealment, "So, those two families really are the masterminds behind this?"
"Not entirely, but they are definitely one of the masterminds behind it all!" Wei Hongyi said with certainty.
Pi Yangyang asked, somewhat taken aback, "Oh, what do you mean?"
Wei Hongyi did not answer directly, but slowly said, "Back then, although the Yan family was the number one family in China, and the Yan Group was the number one family company in the country, the main businesses of the Yan family were actually overseas. They had operations in Japan, South Korea, Europe, and the Americas."
"Among them, the largest number of businesses were in Japan. Back then, even though the Yan Group came from China, it still overshadowed the Hengchuan and Miyazaki families in Japan. As a result, the Hengchuan family shifted its focus to the United States to avoid the Yan Group's dominance."
"After the Yan family's downfall, these two powerful families swiftly and decisively seized the Yan Group's overseas assets. The majority of the Asian assets were acquired by the Miyazaki family, while the European and American assets were taken over by the Hengchuan family. These two families instantly became the first and second most powerful families in Japan, a position that remains unchallenged to this day..."
