The next five minutes were the most painful, torturous, and devastating five minutes of Machi’s life. 3
He didn't dare to end the call because he knew that this might be the last chance he could hear his son’s voice ever again.
It was also clear to him that the killers wanted to torture his son to death and make him suffer great pain before his life came to an end.
Even as his father, he could only listen to his son's agonizing screams but could not do anything about it. 2
Immediately afterward, the attackers poured gasoline into the Rolls Royce in which Eikichi was riding and let him scream hysterically in the car. 6
After the gasoline was poured in, the leader took out a pack of cigarettes and a box of matches, coolly lit a cigarette, took a puff, and threw the burning matchstick through the broken window! 4
The luxurious Rolls Royce was instantly turned into a n incinerator, with the blast even spewing wildly outward.
The screams of Eikichi, his assistant, and the driver resonated devastatingly inside the car, sounding exactly like a living hell! 4
On the other end of the line, Machi's heart was torn
into a million pieces, and tears were streaming down his face as he listened to the screams.
The screams lasted for more than a minute until it went completely silent. 5
Machi knew very well that his son was dead. There was even a possibility that he was reduced to ashes!
At this moment, the rage of revenge burned away his sanity! 3
Charlie had been quietly observing Nanako for nearly ten minutes in the midst of the heavy snow. 4
In these ten minutes, Nanako was staring at the sky, and occasionally, she would bend down to pick white snowflakes from the ground. Although she was playing on her own, she looked happy and cheerful.
Just when Charlie decided to go down to see her, he suddenly noticed that several shadows emerged from the darkness in the distance and were coming toward his location at a very fast speed! 5
There was a stark similarity in their running postures and breathing patterns with the Fujibayashi clan.
This made Charlie instantly alert. 9
He suspected at once that these people should all be ninjas, and they were most probably from the Fujibayashi clan!
