Finn nodded a bit. Ninja of Country J was a martial art created for assassination. During the Meiji Restoration, the emperor of Country J developed the genre of assassination in ninjutsu to its heyday.
To reinforce his power, Emperor Meiji established the Hidden People's Association to assassinate the hostile politicians and subordinates who disobey him by foster ninjas.
Being stable in Country J, the Hidden People's Association had emerged as a spying organization for foreign affairs.
Their spies could be seen across the world. Thus Country C was not an exception.
"Brother Finn, you must be careful these days. Because fifteen days later, there will be a gambling competition between the QS Chamber of Commerce and the City Z Chamber of Commerce on the sea."
"This competition is involved in many interests, so those bastards from the Hidden People's Association would produce some chaos. These days, they have been moving around City Z.
"Since you are the favorite disciple of the ancestor, you will be hunted if they know that you are in City Z." Davin urged with a solemn face. Since their establishment, the Hidden People's Association and the Warriors' League had been fighting against each other everywhere. They had long-standing grievances.
Well, the source of those grievances was Garrett.
His wielding of that sword on his promotion to Grand Master on the YP river was quite amazing.
It not only broke seven foreign warships but also frightened the foreign invaders into death.
Besides, the martial arts world of Country J was terrified by that.
To stabilize the country and weaken the power of Country C, several executive directors of the Hidden People's Association decided to assassinate Garrett!
They must kill Garrett in the cradle as he had just been promoted to the Grand Master and could not control his power so well! And they must try their best to keep him from growing stronger, or he would become a disaster to the martial arts world in Country J.
After making a sophisticated plan, the leader of the Assassination Ministry of the Hidden People's Association took the lead with five higher ninjas to reach Country C.
Then...none of them returned.
No one knew the details of this assassination. Internal members of the Warriors' League heard that Garrett carrying a sword stepped on the land of Country J alone the day after the ministry left.
There was no doubt that Garrett visited the Hidden People's Association.
What he had done there was still unknown to everyone.
Members of the Warriors' League only knew that the Hidden People's Association locked its door after leaving. During the following a dozen years, nobody witnessed the ninjas. The association seemed to disappear across the world.
Therefore, Garrett must be the one that the Hidden People's Association hated most.
If the members of the Hidden People's Association who hid in City Z knew that Finn was the favorable disciple of Garrett, they would never be interested in this business conference. By contrast, they would change their plans and focus on ambushing Finn.
"OK! I will be careful." Finn nodded with a solemn look. What Gavin said to him was never told by Garrett.
However, from Davin's words, Finn knew that the Hidden People's Association had a visceral hatred for Garrett.
And they would pool all their members to revenge if they got that information.
