Chapter 5921
Author: Lord Leaf
Jacob instantly blushed at her words, and he stuttered as he tried to defend himself, “Who said I was asking my dear son-in-law for money? Did I say that?! I have other reasons for talking to my dear son-in-law. Don't make false accusations against me!”

Instead of arguing with Jacob, Elaine turned to Charlie and said, “My dear son-in-law, you heard what he said. No matter what he's scheming, don't give him a single penny!”

Jacob was immediately furious, and he angrily exclaimed, “Elaine, why are you like this? Why are you always just talking about money?”

Elaine playfully shook her head and grinned as she said, “What's wrong? Since you're not asking my dear son-in-law for money, why does it bother you if I tell him not to give you any?”

Jacob was speechless. Elaine's strong defense had thwarted his intentions completely. With her words, he couldn't bring himself to ask Charlie for money anymore. How could he, after being put in such a situation?

    The samurai who had managed to rally his comrades earlier could see that they were getting restless again, and he yelled, "Gentlemen! What are we if not slaves to our family's fate?! And all we need is to succeed this one time, and they will live happily ever after! What do we have to fear—argh! My eyes!!!"He was halfway through his motivational speech when his vision abruptly turned black amidst a terrible pain.When he reached up, he could feel two solid plastic tubes sticking out of his eye sockets!The other samurai had almost been motivated and ready to follow him for a death charge, only for that rally call to turn into a scream.They turned toward the samurai and were horrified to watch as he bled crimson out of his eye sockets, his screams immediately blood-curdling!It was such a gruesome sight that Yoshitaka retched loudly while Kokomi had to look away in fear.Tanya herself was afraid to even look at the bodies at first, but now, the gruesome sight seemed to invoke he

    When the samurai started charging, they presumed Charlie and the others were victims at their mercy. That was why the ones at the front were only focused on cutting them down and claiming Tanya's head, while the ones at the rear were considering how many more chops they should add on the corpses to display their savagery.And so, none of them expected their helpless victim to fight back with such terrible savagery, knocking down eight of their men in a split second!It only left them further horrified to see that their dead comrades still had their eyes wide open with various cosmetic items sticking out of their heads.The ninjas were the best when it came to wielding sneak weapons, launching shurikens out of their sleeves, and claiming the lives of many unsuspecting victims.However, that still meant a ninja could only throw two shurikens at best—one from each sleeve, meaning that each ninja could at most kill two. None of them could have expected someone to kill eight people with

    The backstage hallway was long and straight, dividing into a Y-shaped intersection with two entrances.However, even with two paths of escape, there was no way of running past the samurai in such a narrow path, while the many rooms down the hallway were enclosed and had no emergency doors from which to escape.Hence, with the samurai cutting them off, they were completely surrounded.On top of that, they had no guns, and with so many people pincering them, each of them fighters who could match the average ninja, there was no escape.Hence, everyone's faces turned ashen, aside from Charlie and Kathleen.Even Yoshitaka, brimming with confidence a second ago, realized in horror that he might really die here.But at that moment, Charlie's eyes flashed coldly as he turned to Yoshitaka, "Can you provide immunity if I kill?""Wait, what?!" Yoshitaka was having a brain fart and was even more confused when Charlie asked something so crazy. "W-What did you just say?"Charlie was left fum

    Yoshitaka turned toward Charlie, keeping his tone especially calm as he said, "Mr. Wade, the bounty was just issued minutes ago—calling the cavalry wouldn't be too late right now. As long as we keep anyone suspicious out, we'd be threatened a lot less."Pausing, he sighed. "You really shouldn't have refused my suggestion. If I had just called a chopper, everyone, including Ms. Sweet, would have been evacuated safely in fifteen minutes. Whatever outfit is coming after us, they'd never reach us that quickly."Charlie growled coldly, "Sure, take your chopper, but Tanya can decide for herself."Tanya quickly said, "I'm with you, Mr. Wade!"Yoshitake cringed a little.He was going to diss Charlie a little and try to salvage some dignity, but he didn't expect that even Tanya wasn't on his side.Hence, he promptly pressed, "Mr. Wade, you just said your people will be coming as phase two of our defense. Where are they now? When can they arrive?""You don't have to worry about that for n

    From Yukihiro's point of view, a little probing would only leave him with a bad taste in his mouth at this point.Yoshitaka would definitely use the Mitsui Group's influence to harass the Yamaguchis in every way, framing it as a campaign against mob violence or even reviving cold cases.It would definitely inflict a lot of losses on the Yamaguchis, if not outright deny them a year's worth of income.Even if they were seething, they wouldn't self-destruct to bring the Mitsuis down, and might even take the insult lying down.However, if they really had to make enemies of Yoshitaka, Yukihiro knew he had nothing to lose.The Mitsuis were the top dogs of Japan, but they did not own the country. Even if they had the money, the Yamaguchis had guns. If they wanted a fight, they had it.And when physical violence was brought to the table, it was Yoshitaka who would have a problem.At this point, Yukihiro was not giving up on the one billion.It was either paying him the same amount or a

    Then, with a flick of his wrist, all the cosmetic items Charlie had grabbed earlier appeared between his fingers.At the same time, the samurai were reaching them, with the handful leading the charge having their katanas raised in the air for a mean swing.Yoshitaka was trembling with rage, but started backward, intent on hiding in the dressing room.Even if the wooden door was not stopping the samurai's katana, he was sure that living one second longer was ideal.However, as soon as he opened the door, Kokomi caught him with a vice-grip and dragged his limp form back to the group, warning him coldly, "You've embarrassed us plenty today, Father. Please show some dignity when it matters!"Yoshitaka was left fuming. "Dignity? What dignity?! We're about to be diced into pieces!"That was when the air swished loudly, as the keen edge of each katana flashed, reflecting the ceiling lights in a confusing dazzle.At the same time, Charlie suddenly spread his arms and leaped forward, the

if Charlie can give money to Elaine why can't he do the same to Jacob? why always give preferential attention to Greedy Elaine

I second this opinion... no matter what, their personality should not be included in the story

This story would be so much better if they died!
