Chapter 22 - NUCT: Chapter 22

Land of Waves, a very secret small manor.

More than a dozen maids brought up plates of sumptuous food and placed them well, then stood respectfully on both sides.

Only one person was sitting at the huge dining table, and it was Gatō, whom Shinji and Hidan were looking for.

At this time, Gatō was wearing tea-colored round glasses, with a white napkin around his neck, and was using a knife and fork to deal with a steak that was still bleeding, then roughly sending it into his mouth to tear and chew, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

But no one present dared to show the slightest look of disgust, and they all lowered their heads.

After a while, after the food on the plate was swept away, Gatō wiped his hands, picked up the glass next to him, and drank the red wine inside.

"Today's meat is good, tell the chef that his whole family's life is saved. But as a punishment, sell them all into slavery. Oh, right, I allow him to visit his family one day each month."

"Yes, Lord Gatō. Your kindness is simply illuminating the entire sky!"

The housekeeper's praise appeared in a timely and slightly exaggerated manner.

Gatō was obviously very pleased, and even sincerely believed that he was too 'kind'. He was clearly ready to let this family go to reunite below, but in the end he only made them his slaves for the rest of their lives. Wasn't this enough to show his 'kindness'!

Thinking that he had done a great good deed, Gatō began to scan the surrounding maids one by one, and finally pointed to two recently sent twin sisters with his raised chin.

The two maids trembled, their eyes numb, and then immediately knelt on the ground and crawled over...

Soon a pleasant expression appeared on Gatō's disgusting face.

Seeming to realize that Gatō was in a good mood today, the housekeeper, who was looking straight ahead, took the opportunity to say: "Captain Okamoto sent a message just now, saying that he has captured two ninjas hired by the Mira family, and wanted to ask for your instructions."

While enjoying the service, Gatō said without thinking: "Is there any need to ask me about this? Just kill them, and then remember to return the goods to their original owner, and hang their heads on the old thing's door."

"I'll tell him that, but in fact, Captain Okamoto also wants to take this opportunity to meet you, to show his loyalty."

"Show his loyalty? I think he wants to come and ask for credit um!"

With a shiver, Gatō's thoughts suddenly changed, "Then let him come over, and bring those two people over, it's a bit boring anyway, it doesn't matter if we find some fun."

...

"Not bad, Okamoto, Lord Gatō has agreed to meet you this time. As long as you perform well, you will definitely be reused in the future. Then I can also rest assured to marry my daughter to you."

The housekeeper showed an appreciative look after seeing Okamoto.

Okamoto immediately followed up, "Thank you, Father-in-law, if it weren't for you, there would be no Okamoto today."

Seeing that he was so sensible, the housekeeper was even more satisfied in his heart.

"Are these the two ignorant guys who attacked the manor in the north forest?" The housekeeper turned his gaze and looked at Shinji and Hidan, who were tightly bound.

"Yes, to capture them alive, many people were injured." As he said, Okamoto lifted his clothes, revealing the blood-stained gauze wrapped around his waist.

Seeing this, the housekeeper was convinced, so he said in a low voice: "When you see Lord Gatō, you can appropriately describe the process as more ups and downs, and more thrilling. Lord Gatō is a little tired and bored at the moment, perhaps you can use these two people to bring some fun to Lord Gatō."

"Okamoto understands, I will have to trouble Father-in-law to give me more pointers in the future."

"It's easy to say, but you must remember that Lord Gatō doesn't like others refuting him the most. No matter how outrageous the requests Lord Gatō makes later, you must find a way to complete them, do you hear?"

"Yes, Okamoto will keep it in mind."

After a conversation and a series of instructions, the housekeeper finally led everyone through several hidden 'transfer stations', and finally successfully arrived at Gatō's location.

Throughout the entire process, Shinji and Hidan were silent and extremely 'obedient', allowing Okamoto to play it by ear.

And Okamoto, who had his life in the hands of others, didn't dare to play any tricks and was very cooperative.

Finally, Gatō, dressed as a mafia godfather, appeared in front of them.

The housekeeper was just about to speak when he was stopped by Gatō, who was holding a cigar, "I know you are just hired by that old thing, so I can give you a chance to survive."

"But this opportunity is very precious, only one of you can have it."

"Okay, thank my kindness."

"Choose to live alone, or choose to let the other party live."

While exhaling smoke, Gatō couldn't help but show an insidious smile. He liked to watch this kind of infighting the most.

In order to save their own lives, all relatives and companions could be abandoned.

Afterward, they would disgustingly kneel on the ground, hugging the corpse they killed with their own hands and crying bitterly, but in reality, they were enjoying the joy of surviving, right!

Gatō never minded using the most vicious thoughts in the world to speculate on people's hearts.

Oh, right, after these two killed each other, he would let Okamoto kill the guy who was still alive.

Let the other party's joy of surviving instantly turn into despair!

At that moment, the emptiness, the self-blame and guilt of killing a companion would gnaw at the other party's heart like ants, and that kind of pain would even surpass death!

That kind of scene was exhilarating just thinking about it.

"Hmm? Why hasn't it started yet?" Gatō frowned with some dissatisfaction.

No one stopped Okamoto from untying the ropes for Shinji and Hidan, because they all knew what Gatō was expecting.

And they weren't worried that these two could cause any trouble.

After all, including Okamoto, there were 5 Chūnin among the bodyguards present, and there were no less than a hundred wandering ninjas hidden in this manor.

In the face of such a powerful force, who would care about two prisoners?

It was just that what made Gatō unhappy was that the two people in front of him didn't follow the script he had set, and didn't have any fearful expressions. Instead, their eyes were full of undisguised malice and eagerness to try.

At this time, Shinji took out a photo from his arms and compared it, "You are Gatō? It seems that's right, the target has been confirmed..."

For some reason, Gatō's heart suddenly beat faster, as if he had already realized that a huge danger was engulfing him.

So he didn't care about the little entertainment program anymore, and immediately shouted: "Kill them!"

At the same time, Shinji also said: "You can do it, Hidan."

"Hahahaha... Hidan-sama is going to sacrifice you all to Lord Jashin!"
