Siblings Fitz and Zara found themselves transported directly to Kyoto after their removal from Tokyo.


    At this moment, they were being held in a house less than two kilometers away from their current location.


    The Iga family’s ninjas were tasked with guarding their confinement.


    They awaited themand of Ryoto Matsumoto. Once given the order, they would swiftly eliminate Fitz and Zara and discreetly move their bodies to the Ito family mansion.


    However, until Matsumoto issued themand, the ninjas had to keep the siblings alive to avoidplications during transportation, as a body can be too stiff if left for too long after death.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The Iga ninjas excel in assassination techniques. Their experience has taught them that the optimal time to transport a corpse is within an hour of death, when the body remains pliable enough to fit into a suitcase. Beyond that time frame, rigor mortis sets in, making transport increasingly difficult.


    The n was to eliminate the siblings immediately after receiving Matsumoto Ryoto’s order and then take them directly to the Ito mansion to find a suitable ce for concealment.


    Just ten minutes ago, Ryoto Matsumoto had contacted them, instructing them to assess the security of the Ito family mansion.


    They were to identify the weaknesses in the mansion’s defenses and locate an appropriate spot to hide the bodies. After gathering this information, they would proceed to kill the siblings without dy.


    Consequently, one Iga ninja infiltrated the Ito residence alone to scout the area.


    This was the very individual that Charlie spotted in Nanako Ito’s room.


    The ninja examined the wall for a while, seemingly selecting a secluded courtyard belonging to Nanako Ito. After a brief survey, he took several photographs with his phone before stealthily climbing down the wall to make his escape.


    At that moment, Charlie stood up and addressed Nanako Ito, saying, “I’ll be out for a bit. You stay here.”


    Worried, Nanako Ito quickly asked, “Charlie, where are you going?”


    Charlie replied, “That person was a ninja. He came here alone, likely to scout the area. There could be more ninjas lurking behind him. I need to see what’s going on!”


    Nanako Ito reached out to stop him, her expression serious, “Charlie, please don’t go. It could be dangerous!”


    Charlie responded earnestly, “If ninjas are watching, they could be plotting against you. If I don’t act now, they might figure it out soon. It’s better to take the initiative and deal with them head-on.”


    Nervously, Nanako Ito said, “But I’m worried about you… I don’t want you to take risks for me…”


    Charlie smiled gently, shaking her hand with sincerity, “I came to Kyoto for you. Whether it’s a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, I will protect you!”


    After saying this, he released Nanako Ito’s hand and turned to leave.<fn6425> Follow current nov?ls on find~novel</fn6425>


    Nanako Ito felt a profound impact from Charlie’s words. She was not only moved and happy; his deration melted her heart.


    When he spoke, there was no arrogance in his voice, yet it provided her with an unprecedented sense of security.


    In that moment, Nanako Ito realized she was hopelessly in love with Charlie.


    For him, she would give everything, even if it meant sacrificing her own life; she would not hesitate.


    With urgency, she reached out and grasped Charlie’s arm, saying with reverence, “Charlie, please be careful. If anything happens to you, I would willingly give my life for yours!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
