Winner Takes All

The hoarse voice rang out in the bamboo forest loudly.

Both Iga TobiRyuu and the two Ninja Lords frowned and looked in the direction where the voice came from in shock.

The person was able to throw a sword towards them until the sword inside Iga TobiRyuu's hand was shaken off his hand.

This was too shocking!

"Young Master, we're here!"

Brent's voice rang out.

At the same time, Jack saw a figure running towards him.

The two Ninja Lords were about to block the person at once.

However, the Mysterious Man let out a hoarse and cold voice.

"Who dares to move?"

The two Ninja Lords were stunned for a moment.

When they regained their consciousness, Brent had already passed by the two of them and stood in front of Jack. "Young Master, this is for you!"

Brent handed one of the two samurai long swords in his hand to Jack.

"You're here just in time!"

Jack smiled faintly and took the long sword with a smile. He displayed a look as if he wanted to kill someone.

He had a long sword and a short sword. In a battle, a long sword and a short sword had different functions. The long sword was used to attack the enemy while the short sword was used to defend himself.

It was considered amazing as he could fight with Iga TobiRyuu with a short sword that was used to defend himself.

Now that he had a weapon, and the Mysterious Man and Brent also arrived at the scene. Everything happened as he had expected at the beginning.

Jack raised his head, looking at Iga TobiRyuu coldly as if he was a bloodthirsty beast.

"Iga TobiRyuu, it is now a duel between us again!"

Jack teased Iga TobiRyuu playfully.

This made Iga TobiRyuu narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his eyes pulsed frantically.

He felt angry, remorseful as well as regretful in an instant.

"The bunch of Ninja Masters was bastards!"

Iga TobiRyuu gritted his teeth and said angrily.

He shouldn't underestimate his enemy until the reinforcements arrive at the scene.

He also cursed the bunch of Ninja Masters furiously.

If they could delay their battle for a little longer, he would not need to face such an impasse.

He took a deep breath.

He tried to suppress the mixed emotions in his heart. He gripped the hilt of the long samurai sword stuck in the ground using his right hand as if his right hand was not injured.

"Iga TobiRyuu, you are to blame for the failure of this operation."

A Ninja Lord scolded Iga TobiRyuu angrily.

"Hehe..."

Iga TobiRyuu smiled and said, "Yes, I am the one to blame. I will complete this mission perfectly. I will make Iga Clan which cultivated me proud. I will also not disappoint God who bestowed good luck on me..." As soon as he said these words, Jack and Brent looked at each other. They looked puzzled.

They were going to have a 3-on-3 battle. Even if he, Brent, and the Mysterious Man were all injured and weakened a bit, Jack thought that they would not be defeated and killed by the three top Ninja Lords. The best evidence which could validate his statement was that the long sword thrown by the Mysterious Man at the critical moment was able to shake off the long sword in Iga TobiRyuu's hand.

It was true that the Mysterious Man did not have his full strength now.

But he could still defeat them.

At that moment, Iga TobiRyuu suddenly said firmly, "Retreat!"

Bang, bang, bang!

The three Ninja Lords threw their smoke bombs in front of them almost at the same time.

Smoke rose abruptly from the area beneath their feet. In an instant, it was even more difficult for Jack and the others to find them as the bamboo forest was very dark. "They retreated?"

Brent frowned and said in confusion.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Didn't Iga TobiRyuu say he wanted to complete the mission perfectly?"

Jack was also puzzled. Frowning, he pondered for a moment, "Something is not right..."

He tried to figure out what was going out for a moment.

He felt that Iga TobiRyuu's action was really strange.

He thought that it was very strange that the two Ninja Lords immediately understood Iga TobiRyuu's words and immediately retreated after they complained about Iga TobiRyuu's misbehaviour.

This...

However, at this time, a figure quickly ran towards them not far away in the smoke.

They heard the Mysterious Man's hoarse voice, "They have retreated."

"Go back first." Jack and Brent glanced at each other. Then, Jack led them to head towards the courtyard in the bamboo forest.

The Mysterious Man and Brent quickly followed him.

But just as Jack took his third step towards the courtyard, he was stunned for a moment.

His face which looked relieved just now suddenly displayed a grim look of panic.

"Oh no! Amber is in danger!"

After he shouted in shock, he rushed towards the small courtyard in the bamboo forest at a high speed like a madman.

The Mysterious Man and Brent also looked cold as they realised what was going on immediately.

They realised why Iga TobiRyuu's acts belied his words.

Now that the three Ninja Lords had retreated at the same time, it was indeed the best way to protect themselves.

However, it was very strange as the three Ninja Lords retreated after Iga TobiRyuu said he would complete the mission perfectly.

If the battlefield was shifted back to the courtyard in the bamboo forest. Iga TobiRyuu could complete the mission perfectly if he took Amber as a hostage.

Both the Mysterious Man and Brent knew that Amber was the apple of Jack's eyes!

They thought that their enemies might threaten Jack to kill himself by taking Amber as a hostage and Jack might really choose to do so.

"I hope such a thing won't happen, or else it would be a mishap!"

Brent was extremely anxious as he ran towards the courtyard, "Luckily, Mr. Ward and Daisy are in the courtyard. I hope..."

He was so anxious that he even didn't finish his words.

Mr. Ward and Daisy stayed in the courtyard.

It was to protect Amber.

However, the main reason was that just now the Mysterious Man and Brent felt that they suffered from injuries. They forced them to rest in the courtyard as it wasn't so appropriate for them who suffered from injuries to involve in fights with Iga TobiRyuu.

It was true that the two of them were able to fight with the three top Ninja Lords. However, they were now suffering from injuries and it was impossible for them to protect Amber!

"If that's the case, perhaps..."

The Mysterious Man murmured in a hoarse a low voice. He did not finish his words, just like Brent.

In the bamboo forest, it was silent and eerie.

Jack held the two swords in his hands and quickly rushed towards the courtyard as if he had gone mad.

At this moment, it seemed like he was not injured at all.

He displayed a cold and stern aura.

He was very worried about Amber's safety as he rushed towards the courtyard.

Even the Mysterious Man and Brent looked extremely worried as they followed him.

But at the same time, they were very worried.

Finally, a light appeared in Jack's vision. He could see the courtyard in the bamboo forest becoming clearer.

At the open space outside the courtyard.

Now, the fighting had come to an end. People were lying on the ground, wailing with pain.

The few Ninja Masters were also injured heavily. They were surrounded by many people led by Lone Wolf.

Jack didn't pay attention to the melee in front of him.

He only rushed into the courtyard with a grim expression.

The air was filled with the smell of blood at that time.

However, as there was a melee which made many people injured happening outside the courtyard, Jack also couldn't distinguish whether the smell of blood was wafting in from the outside or lingering inside the courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, it was messy.

However, there was no person in the hall.

But just as he rushed into the hall, he heard a "bang" sound.

A large, bloodstained, wrinkled hand suddenly grabbed the door frame of the hall.

Looking at the scene, Jack felt desperate on the spot.

Then, he gazed anxiously at Mr. Ward, whose face was covered in blood. Mr. Ward slowly poked his head out from the door, displaying a look as if he was in pain.

When he saw Jack, he wailed in pain, "Young Master, Mrs. Hughes..."

Kaboom!

Listening to the words said by Mr. Ward who was wailing in pain, it was like a bolt from the blue, making Jack felt desperate and hopeless.
