Chapter 1018: Chapter 1014: The Highest Realm of Acting

However, in Mizuno Pengyu’s eyes, this scene seemed somewhat like a show. He simply didn’t believe, or rather, didn’t dare to believe, that the middle-aged man would disregard his daughter’s life and death.

Thinking of this, Mizuno Pengyu immediately gave a signal to the guard beside him, promptly resulting in five people springing into the air, rushing in the opposite direction of the middle-aged man, and dispersing in mid-air, forming an encirclement against Xiao Tian.

Watching his family’s experts about to join the battlefield, Mizuno Pengyu’s gaze became sinister. If he could take this opportunity to kill the Hunter, the Mizuno Clan’s reputation would surpass the royal family in a short time — the temptation was truly irresistible.

Feeling somewhat tempted, Mizuno Pengyu did not completely lose his sanity and began to seriously consider whether the cost of killing the Hunter was proportional to the benefits gained afterward.

This problem was quite easy for him to calculate, and he quickly found the answer. Obviously, sacrificing some experts in exchange for a brief surge in reputation, and with the right operations, was definitely a worthwhile affair!

With calculations made, the only question left was whether Mizuno Pengyu dared to gamble this time?

Yet, before Mizuno Pengyu could come to a conclusion, five experts similarly charged out from the royal family’s ranks on the other side, seemingly targeting Xiao Tian as well. Clearly, their purpose was to form an opposing stance with the five from the Mizuno Clan.

Rather than assisting in dealing with Xiao Tian, they were more focused on protecting the middle-aged man. Whether the middle-aged man needed such protection was another matter.

As they neared Xiao Tian, the middle-aged man quickly asked through a sound transmission, ”What exactly are you trying to do?”

”I’ve already said, my aim is to rescue Ozawa Miwa. As for the leader of the Mizuno Clan, he’s just a collateral,” Xiao Tian swiftly replied in kind.

As soon as they finished speaking, the two rapidly exchanged blows, one flew back five zhang, the other three zhang. It was clear who was stronger.

This was unavoidable; the middle-aged man was evidently far stronger than Xiao Tian on paper. If they fought evenly, it would have been insulting to the spectators.

”Is this how you plan to rescue her?” The middle-aged man came back again, immediately launching a dozen moves to thoroughly suppress Xiao Tian, leaving him on the defensive and unable to counterattack.

Xiao Tian, while appearing to be desperately defending, transmitted back, ”You have only yourself to blame for hesitating. I remember I warned you earlier to relocate Ozawa Miwa, but did you ever decide to trust me?”

”You!” The middle-aged man was infuriated beyond words, even though there were unspeakable reasons behind his actions, he had no choice but to admit Xiao Tian’s truthfulness, unable to argue against it!

Unable to argue, the middle-aged man could only abandon the fixation and asked urgently, ”Quickly share whatever idea you have, if this drags on any longer, I’ll have no choice but to kill you!”

Xiao Tian chose to ignore the middle-aged man’s threats, his eyes rolling as he said, ”Here’s what to do: have someone take Ozawa Miwa away, but make it look like she’s been kidnapped, then you all just go chase after them.”

”Damn!”

No matter how resilient the middle-aged man was, he couldn’t help but curse upon hearing Xiao Tian’s absurd suggestion, then said, ”Are you sure you’re not joking? So many experts can’t guard a single person, where does that leave the royal family’s dignity?!”

”That’s your problem, what’s more important, dignity or your daughter’s life? You decide!” Xiao Tian replied in a rascal tone, ”Anyway, I’ve given you the plan, just say I was your accomplice when the time comes!”

Fuming with anger while continuing his strikes, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, ”You really have a sense of justice!”

Xiao Tian, pretending not to hear the sarcasm, responded with a smile, ”No need to thank me, just doing what needs to be done!”

”Thank you!” the middle-aged man’s bellow resonated, and he suddenly intensified his attacks.

Before Xiao Tian could continue responding, he suddenly felt a hammer-like force on his forearm bone, losing control and being sent flying in a slant, straight toward the direction of the five Mizuno Clan experts.

The distance was too close, even if those five had anticipated it, they couldn’t dodge in time, and one of them, coincidentally, was struck by Xiao Tian.

Though the expert immediately initiated his Protective True Qi, the impact from Xiao Tian was too abrupt and strong, unable to withstand even a moment, causing him to plummet diagonally downwards with Xiao Tian.

”Damn, this old fool takes personal revenge on official matters...”

In a state of panic, this unlucky expert vaguely heard such words at his ear, soon feeling severe pain in his chest, a halt in breathing, and blood blocked in his throat. Darkness overtook his vision, his head slumped to one side, leaving his survival uncertain!

Witnessing his expert still unable to demonstrate his prowess due to the middle-aged man’s judgment, although the expert was considered of medium level within the organization, not particularly missed, Mizuno Pengyu couldn’t let it slide.

However, just as he was about to voice his protest against the middle-aged man, chaos erupted in the royal family’s ranks, shouts ringing from across...

”Where’s the princess?! You can’t even watch one person; what the hell are you all doing?” An aging senior roared furiously.

”Seems like she went that way,” his subordinates meekly replied.

The aging elder huffed and shouted forcefully, ”Pursue her! Find her or none of you can expect to stay safe!”

Following that, they all turned and rushed toward the distance.

After watching the royal personnel depart, the middle-aged man glared fiercely at Xiao Tian and said, ”Despicable, even having accomplices, when I return I’ll definitely take your head!”

Leaving behind such a threatening remark, the middle-aged man also chased quickly in the direction where his people had left.

...

Mizuno Pengyu’s face was now extremely gloomy, even though he faintly saw someone indeed took Ozawa Miwa away, with astonishing speed, the royal family had so many experts present, yet allowing the princess to vanish right under their noses, who would believe this if told?!

Still, regardless of how he inwardly cursed the royal family’s shamelessness, he had to face the current situation squarely. He was left with only two choices.

First, kill Xiao Tian and gain unmatched reputation for a short time; second, like the royal family, find any excuse to leave, allowing Xiao Tian to remain or leave, and preserve his strength first.
