Chapter 947: Chapter 943: The Trump Card Failed!
Xiao Tian almost burst out laughing, wondering how Masuda Ryosei’s words sounded like he was being kept. After sizing him up once more, Xiao Tian patiently said, "Don’t know, why don’t you tell me."
"Sugai Yasuaki!" Masuda Ryosei declared proudly, his nostrils practically pointing skyward.
And upon his words, everyone around began to show cold smiles, as if they could already see Xiao Tian kneeling down to beg for mercy.
Xiao Tian furrowed his brow, softly muttering, "Sugai Yasuaki?"
Masuda Ryosei assumed Xiao Tian was frightened, and immediately regained a pompous demeanor. After wrapping the scratch on his hand with a handkerchief, he leaned back on the chair, watching Xiao Tian with great interest, awaiting the spectacle.
He was very certain that, at least in the current situation, even a major power like Mizuno Clan’s Fujino Martial Arts Hall had to show some respect to Sugai Yasuaki, so he felt absolutely secure.
In reality, the name Sugai Yasuaki indeed gave Xiao Tian a feeling that he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn’t recall where exactly.
Just at that moment, Xiao Tian glanced at Xiang Yiting, noticing her face was terribly unsightly, instinctively biting her lower lip, appearing extremely tense.
From these details, Xiao Tian could be sure Xiang Yiting almost definitely knew Sugai Yasuaki, so he discreetly moved closer to her, blocking her view with his body, and quietly asked, "Do you know who Sugai Yasuaki is?"
Xiang Yiting immediately showed a solemn expression, speaking in a deep voice, "Sugai Yasuaki is the son of a high-ranking member of the Mizuno Clan."
Xiao Tian suddenly understood, as it wasn’t surprising that the Mizuno Clan, being a top-notch power, would have unruly associates. However, such tactics were ineffective before him, given that quite a few Mizuno Clan experts had died at his hands, let alone just a son of some high-ranking member!
Yet, as Xiao Tian was about to conclude, Xiang Yiting added, "Not only that, he previously revealed that he has a marital agreement with the Japanese royal family’s little princess, which is unprecedented in Mizuno Clan history, suggesting Sugai Yasuaki’s current popularity."
Xiao Tian tightly furrowed his brow: "Royal family’s little princess? Ozawa Miwa?"
Xiang Yiting gravely nodded, clearly not optimistic about the forthcoming situation.
At this point, Xiao Tian finally remembered where he had heard Sugai Yasuaki’s name.
It was on the eve before heading to Kunlun Mountain, where a TV broadcast in the living room announced the upcoming wedding between Sugai Yasuaki and Ozawa Miwa. At the time, he seemed to have made a conclusion, that was Sugai Yasuaki had violent tendencies, making Ozawa Miwa’s future far from rosy.
However, due to urgency back then, he hadn’t committed it to deeper memory!
Of course, this was Ozawa Miwa’s own choice, and Xiao Tian naturally wouldn’t meddle with others’ wishes for no reason.
But Xiao Tian was mistaken about one point: Was this really Ozawa Miwa’s wish?
...
Having learned who Sugai Yasuaki was, Xiao Tian chuckled, "Just the son of some damn high-ranking Mizuno Clan official? Call his father over to see if I’m scared!"
"You!"
Masuda Ryosei’s eyes widened, never expecting such an outcome after waiting so long. He flared up in anger, "Do you even know what the hell you’re saying?!"
Xiao Tian squinted his eyes, suddenly grabbing a teacup from the table, and hurling it forcefully at Masuda Ryosei’s head. With a crisp crash, Masuda Ryosei yelled out, hurriedly covering his bleeding head.
This scene stunned Masuda Ryosei’s companions, leaving them puzzled as to why, even after Sugai Yasuaki’s name was mentioned, Xiao Tian still dared to harm, and more unbelievably, behaved in such a way openly insulting Mizuno Clan’s high officials.
Xiao Tian’s sudden violent act also startled Xiang Yiting and Adison Claire, instinctively shrieking as they both moved towards Xiao Tian, their hearts pounding like frenzied drumbeats.
Though Adison Claire might not be aware, Xiang Yiting fully understood the formidable nature of Mizuno Clan—and Xiao Tian, knowing Sugai Yasuaki’s men were involved, remained indifferent without the slightest sign of retreat—causing her concern to rise.
Nonetheless, in such a moment, Xiang Yiting was aware there was no retreat. There’s never been any pills to undo regrets—only letting Xiao Tian do as he pleases is an option now, and what the outcome will be must wait until this matter blows over.
"Didn’t you claim to be Sugai Yasuaki’s man?" Xiao Tian approached Masuda Ryosei, meeting his furious gaze unimpressed, "Call for him now, have him come save you, or prepare to meet your end here!"
Masuda Ryosei was terrified, having thought earlier that Xiao Tian was bluffing for reputation more crucial than life—but at this moment such thought was utterly dispelled.
From tone to expression, there was absolutely no trace of pretense, as if Xiao Tian genuinely disregarded Sugai Yasuaki and the Mizuno Clan completely.
Such demeanor caused Masuda Ryosei to question if this rival was likewise a significant figure in some power.
If true, today could really end disastrously!
Since even forces like Fujino Martial Arts Hall, though secondary, were of much greater importance compared to Masuda Ryosei
At least as he saw it, Sugai Yasuaki couldn’t possibly offend any forces just because of him—and would likely abandon him to fend for himself.
Take a step back, even if Sugai Yasuaki could stand up for him, the misfortune would still be his alone.
Upon these reflections, Masuda Ryosei hung his head—but when lifted, his expression had softened significantly, though the blood on his face rendered any semblance of a smile grotesque.
"Which force do you belong to?" Masuda Ryosei’s arrogance disappeared, now tame as a broken wild horse, filled with respect and flattery.
Xiao Tian sneered, "Hoping to learn for revenge later, are you?"
"No! Not at all!" Masuda Ryosei denied hurriedly, lowering his stance further, "Today’s matter was impudent of me, please don’t take it to heart!"
"Ha! No need to be fearful, I belong to no force, feel free to contact Sugai Yasuaki to have him come retrieve you." Xiao Tian retorted unfazed.
Nonetheless, Xiao Tian’s claim made Masuda Ryosei suspect Xiao Tian was actually an important figure within some force, feeling as though ominous clouds rolled above awaiting to strike him with lethal lightning!
Seeking Sugai Yasuaki seemed tantamount to suicide to Masuda Ryosei.
