CHAPTER 703: CHAPTER 703: THE INVITED GRIM REAPER

Ye Fan, Mengyao, and Qiu Wen were chatting leisurely together.

Shen Yaqing, however, was not idle; she used her hacking skills to gather useful intelligence.

Du Xueqi was on guard, firstly to prevent the Sato Family’s spies from gathering their information, and secondly, to monitor the movements of the Sato Family.

"Speak of the devil, and he shall appear," Du Xueqi chuckled inwardly as she noticed Sato Miyabi and Sato Kawa appearing in sight. "According to my calculations, Sato Miyabi and her father should have arrived by now. The Sato Family is in great trouble and it’s only natural they’d come seeking help. I wonder what their reaction will be when they find out it was us behind the scenes, orchestrating the conflict between the Sato Family and the Akiyama Family. I’m really looking forward to seeing their faces; they might as well cough up blood in rage."

"Hello, we’re here to visit Mr. Ye and Boss Chu. Please do us the courtesy of informing them." Sato Kawa and Sato Miyabi approached Du Xueqi and said courteously.

This is the Sato Family’s territory, yet logically, Ye Fan and Mengyao’s group, being guests, shouldn’t be treated with such high regard.

But the situation was different now. The Sato Family was in dire peril, and the father-daughter duo couldn’t afford to underestimate those who could save their family.

The two firmly believed that Ye Fan and the others had the capability to assist the Sato Family.

In their eyes, Du Xueqi was just one of Ye Fan and Mengyao’s subordinates, and their treatment towards her reflected how much respect they had for Ye Fan and Mengyao.

"Please, follow me," Du Xueqi said calmly, leading the father and daughter to Ye Fan and Mengyao.

"Much appreciated," the father and daughter thanked.

"Looking at your naive faces amuses me endlessly. Once you understand the whole situation, you’ll realize how laughable you are, and you’ll see what kind of people you reverence and respect," Du Xueqi snickered to herself.

"Mr. Ye, Boss Chu, I’m deeply sorry for disturbing you so late in the night," Sato Kawa respectfully bowed.

"We wouldn’t bother you if it wasn’t an urgent matter. Surely you’ve heard some noise and guessed a few possibilities. Yes, the Akiyama Family has launched a comprehensive attack against my Sato Family. We are outnumbered and cannot withstand the Akiyama Family’s murderous intent. We hope Mr. Ye and Boss Chu can lend us a hand. This kindness will be remembered and never forgotten," Sato Miyabi courteously stated. "Once my Sato Family safely emerges from this crisis, we’ll represent Wanpu Company to give you a considerable reward as a token of thanks."

"Whether it’s business help or financial support, the Sato Family will provide enough sincerity. How does that sound?" Sato Kawa added.

The reason Ye Fan and company came to the Sato Family was to gain business help from Wanpu Company.

Of course, it was merely an excuse, one that was reasonable enough to avoid raising suspicion.

Inwardly, Sato Kawa felt very proud as he thought: "Once my Sato Family overcomes this crisis, the help we give you will be nothing but a drop in the bucket. A small token will suffice, and you would surely be grateful."

"I’ll let you make the decision," Ye Fan said with a detached air as if it was none of his concern, leaving everything to Mengyao to handle.

Mengyao wasn’t the least bit reserved and straightforwardly asked, "What kind of help do you want?"

"As much as you can provide. The greater the help, the larger the reward the Sato Family will give you," Sato Kawa said earnestly.

"Is that so?" Mengyao pondered briefly before prudently saying, "Let them two go and help the Sato Family repel the invaders."

The two Mengyao mentioned were, naturally, Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi. Shen Yaqing was busy and couldn’t leave, and with Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi around, they were more than enough to resolve the crisis the Sato Family was facing.

Moreover, Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi weren’t truly going to resolve the Sato Family’s crisis but to intensify the battle between the Sato Family and the Akiyama Family.

By properly weakening the Akiyama Family’s strength, the Sato Family could engage them on equal footing, leading to increased casualties on both sides.

Even if Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi join the battle, they will only reveal enough strength, without fully exposing all their strategies, as there was no need for it. None of the Akiyama Family’s top experts were worth the caution of the two women.

Even Akiyama Shoichi, the Akiyama Family’s ace, wasn’t taken seriously by Du Xueqi.

Through hacking, Ye Fan and others had already gathered enough intelligence, allowing them to sit back and watch the Sato and Akiyama Families battle it out without much effort.

"Thank you very much, Boss Chu," Sato Kawa expressed immense gratitude, though it was merely a front he had to put up. Naturally, he had to thank them since they received aid, but this gratitude wasn’t heartfelt. He felt the help wasn’t enough, knowing Master Ye and Shen Yaqing were not planning to intervene.

Sato Kawa held some resentment but dared not utter anything that might displease them.

Since they were seeking help, they couldn’t even say a single angry word.

They could only follow and flatter them.

"Mr. Sato, from the look on your face, are you dissatisfied with our help?" Mengyao asked Sato Kawa with intrigued interest.

"Of course not, absolutely not. For my Sato Family to have Mr. Ye and Boss Chu grace us with your presence is a blessing we’ve accumulated over three lifetimes. You are the lieutenants of my Sato Family, how could I resent your help? No matter how much help you provide, I will be eternally grateful," Sato Kawa said, though it wasn’t from his heart.

Meanwhile, he was utterly shocked and thought secretly, "This Boss Chu has such sharp eyes. I’ve been in the business world for decades, surely I’ve been quite shrewd. Yet in front of Boss Chu, I’m like an open book; my thoughts have all been seen through. This woman is no ordinary person, she’s terrifying."

"Rest assured, the two of them will certainly help the Sato Family deal with any formidable enemies," Mengyao assured.

"Since Boss Chu says so, I can rest assured a thousand times over," Sato Kawa said cautiously, not daring to entertain any other ideas.

Sato Kawa and Sato Miyabi also understood that figures like Ye Fan, equally mysterious and unfathomable as Boss Chu, wouldn’t lend a hand easily.

Shen Yaqing remained as the bodyguard, naturally.

With the help of Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi, Sato Miyabi and Sato Kawa felt it was enough and were considerably relieved.

"Mr. Ye, Boss Chu, we take our leave now," the father and daughter bid farewell.

Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi, filled with killing intent, followed them out.

At the same time.

The Divine Wind Bureau couldn’t sit still either, attempting to stop the internal conflict between the Sato Family and the Akiyama Family.
