Blatant arrogance and unparalleled tyranny.
At that moment, even the mysterious man was tensed and his hair stood on end. Even Brent, Mr. Ward, and Amber were stunned. Iga TobiRyuu was equally shocked!
The next moment, Jack turned around and grinned sinisterly. His eyes were piercing as they locked onto the mysterious man and paused. The mysterious man shuddered when he realized that Jack was staring at him. A chill ran down his spine as Jack stared into his eyes. He felt as if the tide had turned and he was about to be thrown into the depths of a chasm by Jack. Boundless fear and dread could not even overcome the panic that he was feeling.
“You spend so much time believing in something all because of seeking peace, wishes fulfilled, and love. If after so long your needs were not fulfilled, then why continue to believe?”
Jack’s sinister grin pierced right into the mysterious man’s heart and continued to say, “If it can’t give you peace, can’t fulfill your wishes and defend your love, then what is it good for?”
The mysterious man’s lips quivered as he wanted to banter and respond but he felt as though Jack was pressing him down with an enormous formless hand. He felt so stifled that he could not even speak.
“Don’t you think? Senior?” Jack smiled sinisterly as he slowly turned his head. Both the mysterious man and Brent could see clearly that Jack’s eyes became bloodshot and … the veins on his face started to swell and throb.
“Jack!”
“Master!” Both the mysterious man and Brent were terrified and yelled.
But Jack lowered his head as he turned and continued to walk forward without a care.
“You, stop right there!” Iga TobiRyuu was unnerved and unsettled. He did not know what happened to Jack physically but as a Ninja Lord, he had attained a superhuman level of capabilities and his senses were extraordinary. Hence, he was able to sense… that Jack had a physical transformation. He could feel a terrifying dread that continued to rise leading Iga TobiRyuu to feel horrified and shocked…
Jack did not stop and continued forward.
“Stop, Jack, stop right there!” Iga TobiRyuu held the katana to Amber’s neck. He took no notice of Amber’s wails and even dragged her backward a step.
This entire scene seemed laughable for the hostage-taker to be fearful of the person he was threatening. But now, Iga TobiRyuu seemed to be terrified of Jack.
“Take another step and I will kill your wife!” Iga TobiRyuu roared as he tried his best to conceal his fears. He endeavored to put up a brave front and control his desire to flee. His voice echoed in the dark bamboo forest.
Clink clank…
Jack released his katana and the sword fell to the ground. Iga TobiRyuu was relieved when he saw that. So long as Jack was not armed and he had Amber as a hostage, Jack seemed less of a threat even if he had some physical transformation.
Iga TobiRyuu continued to look at the advancing Jack with his eyes wide open. He mentally overcame his fears of Jack and demanded, “If you want your wife to live, then you will have to die!”
“This is the task of the Iga Clan. Even if I, Iga TobiRyuu, die today, I will also ensure that you will not live a moment longer.”
