Chapter 209 Kado's Business (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

"Ryuuji Ayaki, what do you mean?" Kado slammed his fist on the table and stood up, shouting angrily at Ryuuji.

Behind him were two lackeys dressed in unconventional ronin samurai attire. They even drew half a samurai sword and glared menacingly at Ryuji.

"Hmph~" Ryuji crossed his arms, propped his chin up, and forced a smile. "Isn't it obvious? If you weren't my long-lost son, what reason would I have to give a gift to a complete stranger, someone I've never even met before?"

"It seems you don't recognize your place!" Kado threatened. "With a single word, I can cut off the Wind Kingdom's maritime trade, setting your country's economy back ten years. Even your Daimyo and Kazekage have to treat me with utmost respect. How dare you insult me ​​without cause? Break his arms and legs!"

"Hmph~ Kid, you've offended someone you can't afford to offend!"

"Remember to keep your eyes open in your next life!"

As the two ronin samurai talked, they walked past Kado and stood in front of Ryuji, their faces bearing malicious smiles.

"Is that so?"

Ryuji remained seated, oblivious to the situation. He didn't even remove his hands from his chin; instead, a mocking smile played on his lips.

"They're facing certain death and still show no remorse!"

The samurai ronin on the right threw a punch at Ryuji, but his body spun uncontrollably, and he punched his companion in the face.

The samurai ronin clutched his nose, whimpering in pain, then cursed at his companion, "What the hell are you doing, you bastard?"

"I...I don't know, my body suddenly became uncontrollable."

"Out of control?" The ronin samurai who had been hit was stunned for a moment, then burst into curses: "That's a ridiculous excuse! Are you holding a grudge because I'm more favored by the boss, and you did this on purpose?"

"What did you say? I'm clearly more valued by the boss!"

"It was clearly me!"

"Want to have a contest?"

The samurai ronin who was about to strike blocked the hilt of his sword, which was partially drawn.

The ronin who had been attacked didn't back down either, drawing half of his sword and shouting, "Bring it on!"

"You two bastards, do you even want to keep your jobs?!"

Kado slammed his fist on the table, cursing angrily, "I told you to teach this brat a lesson! What are you doing? If you don't want to work here, get out!"

"Yes……"

The two ronin samurai panicked and prepared to apologize and teach Ryuji a lesson, but they found themselves out of control again and drew their katana to slash at Kado.

Two cold glints flashed, accompanied by the sound of sharp weapons piercing flesh. Two samurai swords struck Kado's shoulders, and blood dripped down the blades.

Kado was stunned, and the two samurai ronin were also dumbfounded, staring at the scene in disbelief.

A moment later, the two samurai ronin were the first to react, hurriedly releasing their grip on their swords and frantically explaining, "Wait, it wasn't me..."

But before he could finish his boast, Kado plopped back into his chair and fell to the ground screaming in pain.

He screamed and cried in agony, yelling and threatening, "You bunch of bastards, how dare you cut me? Don't you want to live?!"

"We didn't do it, our bodies just suddenly went out of control!"

"Boss, you have to trust us! Without you, we're all just drifters. How could we possibly harm our sugar daddy?"

"you……"

Seeing that his two subordinates' expressions didn't seem fake, Kado quickly realized what was going on.

Whether they are samurai, ronin, or ninja, they are all nomadic groups who make a living by wandering the world and accepting private commissions. Although they are carefree and unrestrained, they live a very poor life. Having a regular big patron is a great thing for them, and there is no reason for them to ruin it.

and so……

As if he had just realized something, Kado looked up at Ryuji and, upon seeing the handsome face that was about to burst into laughter, suddenly understood.

"This brat is behind this! Kill him!"

Cardo, being a world-renowned businessman, was quick-witted and soon figured it out.

At this moment, Ryuji finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter.

"This is unbelievable, hahaha... How have you guys managed to survive this long with your IQs? The people in this world are just too kind and innocent!"

"You brat, how dare you humiliate us!"

Two samurai ronin drew their spare katana and angrily charged at Ryuji.

"That's incredibly stupid!"

Ryuji couldn't help but snort coldly. He flicked his right index and middle fingers, and the chakra threads pulled, causing the two samurai ronin to spin uncontrollably in place before tilting their heads back and colliding with each other.

"Bang bang!!"

With a dull thud, the two of them fainted simultaneously.

"this……"

Kado stared wide-eyed, an expression of disbelief on his face.

Ryuji Ayaki stood up from his chair, slowly walked to Kado, and looked down at him indifferently.

"What, what are you going to do?"

Kado stared at Ryuji in horror, his body involuntarily taking a step back.

Ryuji scoffed dismissively, "In order to maintain the existing ecosystem, ninjas are so polite to potential employers that some have forgotten that in this world, the strong have always dominated the weak."

"Yes, yes, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

"Wrong?"

Ryuji couldn't help but sneer, "I bet you're thinking, 'I'll fool them for now, then go to other ninja villages and hire ninjas to kill me,' right?"

"No, no, absolutely not." Kado shook his head vehemently in denial.

"Whether you think that way or not, it doesn't matter to me. There are people in this world who could take my life, but they haven't been born yet. You'll find out the outcome once you go to other ninja villages to issue missions..."

At this point, Ryuji sneered, "If your hired people can kill me, that's fine, but if they can't, then I will kill you. I don't care about the ninja ecosystem, and I'll turn a blind eye to ordinary people like you."

"No, really not!"

Seeing Kado's wet crotch, Ryuji couldn't help but frown and said impatiently, "Speak, what do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Kado immediately calmed down considerably.

He also realized that if the other party wanted to harm him, they would have done so long ago.

The reason they didn't take action was simply to scare themselves.

Of course, Kado didn't dare to test whether the other party was afraid to touch him or had no reason to touch him.

His eyes darted around twice, then Kado stood up, his face once again plastered with the cunning smile of a businessman. "I'm here to discuss a business deal with you, sir."

"Business?"

"My lord, you need a huge amount of materials to build the mechanical city, and I can provide them to you at prices below market value."

"How much lower?"

"One, no, twenty percent!" Kado said, gesturing his signature gesture. "As long as you buy materials from me, I can offer them to you at twenty percent less than the market price, and I'll cover the shipping."

"That's good?" Ryuji stared at Kado suspiciously and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"The land in the Mechanical City!"
