At this moment, Yuhiko Ito hade to the grim conclusion that his fate was sealed.


    The rescue team wouldn’t arrive anytime soon, his own allies were on the brink of copse, and any moment could bring death from the opposing ninja.


    The only remaining driver and Koichi Tanakacked any realbat abilities. Like Yuhiko, they would fall victim to their adversaries.


    In this dire situation, he felt a deep longing to reach out to his daughter, who was far away in Kyoto. Although Kyoto was several hundred kilometers distant, his daughter was likely oblivious to the danger he faced. If he could just hear her voice onest time before his demise, it might offer him a sliver offort.


    However, just as he pulled out his cell phone to call Nanako Ito, Hiroshi Tanaka eximed, “Mr. Ito! We really need to run now!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Yuhiko Ito let out a heavy sigh, replying, “I told you before, we’ve already clipped our wings; there’s no escape for us…”


    But despite his words, he clenched his teeth in frustration, muttering, “It must be that beast, Takahashi, who knows what he’s doing! Scum! How despicable to use such underhanded tactics against me!”


    Hiroshi Tanaka quickly gestured towards the window, urging, “Mr. Ito, let’s not waste time cursing Takahashi right now. If we stay here, we’ll surely die! But we can still jump from here!”


    He pointed eagerly at the guardrail just outside the car, eximing, “Mr. Ito, if we push the car door open, we can use the guardrail to jump!”


    Yuhiko Ito’s face went pale with fear as he shouted, “Are you out of your mind?! This viaduct is over ten meters high. We’d be killed if we jumped!”


    Hiroshi Tanaka replied earnestly, “Listen, if wend correctly, we might survive. As long as we don’t hit the ground face-first ornd on our stomachs, there’s a chance. But if we don’t jump, we’re done for!”


    Yuhiko Ito swallowed hard and countered, “Jumping down could leave us injured or worse; we can’t possibly escape their pursuit!”


    Hiroshi Tanaka insisted, “Think about it! At this height, those ninjas are unlikely to dare jump after us! Even if they’re strong, they risk injury just like we do. If they hesitate to jump, they’ll have to drive down the viaduct, and that’ll buy us some time until the Metropolitan Police’s special operations team arrives!”


    He continued, “Moreover, this viaduct is usually quiet at night, but the street below is close to Fengyue Street, which is always bustling. There will be plenty of private vehicles and taxis moving about!”


    “Plus, there are young people out enjoying the nightlife, along with drunk folks and the homeless!”


    “If they see us fall, they’re bound to gather around to watch or even help!”


    “And even if those ninjas were reckless enough to jump, they probably wouldn’t dare kill us right in front of a crowd. If we can stall for just a few minutes, the police chopper will likely show up!”


    Yuhiko Ito interjected, “But what if we fall and die?!”


    Hiroshi Tanaka gritted his teeth and replied, “Mr. Ito! Falling to our deaths is still better than being killed by a ninja! Who knows what kind of gruesome fate Takahashi has in store for us? What if he orders them to behead us?!”


    A chill ran down Yuhiko Ito’s spine!


    “Beheaded?!”


    “That’s simply too horrific!”


    “I’d rather take my chances jumping than be ughtered by those ninjas!”


    With that thought racing through his mind, he steeled his resolve: “Alright! Let’s jump!”<fn3a50> For original chapters go to find·novel</fn3a50>


    As he prepared to leap, he couldn’t help but curse Takahashi again, grinding his teeth in anger, “Damn it, Takahashi forced me into this! It’s so ironic! If I survive this, I swear I’ll make that bastard pay! I’ll smash his head to pieces!”
