To know that Eagle Mountain was not only steep but also inhabited by wild beasts. At such a dangerous place, why would Ito Yuichi not send anyone to protect him!
"Miss, I've investigated, and Mr. Wang is a martial arts master, so I think he doesn't need protection!"
Ito Yuichi bowed slightly to Kaede Shota, his attitude humble but his eyes filled with malicious smiles.
Protect him?
He wished he could tear this Chinese man to pieces, how could he possibly send people to protect him!
Besides, even if they did, it wouldn't help!
Ito Yuichi curled his lips, secretly looking around, a sly smile appearing on his face.
"That won't do, hurry up and send bodyguards. If Erzhu has any mishap, all the bodyguards will pay with their lives!"
Hearing this, Kaede Shota became even more furious, pointing towards the direction of the Shota family and shouting.
"Yes!" Ito Yuichi quickly withdrew his gaze, respectfully bowed to Kaede Shota, and left swiftly.
Of course, he was going to dispatch bodyguards, but not to protect Erzhu.
Not far ahead, Erzhu naturally heard the conversation between Kaede Shota and Ito Yuichi, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked towards Eagle Mountain.
He estimated that there were at least over a hundred ninja masters hidden on Eagle Mountain. This Ichiro Shota truly hated him to the bone!
However, it was good for these people to be here; they could serve as his human shields.
Because, Gu Lao and the others were coming!
Erzhu's eyes gazed into the distance, a divine light flashing within them.
"I'm sorry, Erzhu, it was my poor arrangement. How about we rest here for a while and then go up the mountain after the bodyguards arrive?"
Just then, Kaede Shota's voice came. The divine light in Erzhu's eyes instantly vanished. He turned his head slightly and looked at Kaede Shota, who wore an apologetic expression.
"It's nothing, let's go up. Your family's bodyguard is right, I don't need protection."
Erzhu waved his hand dismissively, speaking as he walked up the mountain.
Although Kaede Shota was worried, seeing Erzhu's calm demeanor, she could only follow.
"Erzhu, I heard you are a martial arts master?"
As they slowly walked up the mountain, Kaede Shota suddenly thought of something, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Erzhu.
She had loved martial arts since she was young, and if her father hadn't stopped her, she would have already become one of the top ninjas in Yamato!
"Mm, just some fist and foot techniques."
Erzhu nodded slightly, giving a perfunctory reply.
"Oh, I knew it. You're so busy with business, you definitely wouldn't have time to practice martial arts. How could you be a martial arts master?"
Hearing this, Kaede Shota nodded slightly, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
She shouldn't have had such hopes. A perfect person with immense power and extraordinary skills only existed in novels.
"Head down!"
Just as Kaede Shota was feeling a bit disappointed, she suddenly heard Erzhu's voice. As soon as she lowered her head, an arrow flew past her head!
The arrow directly pierced a large tree not far away, instantly turning the hundred-year-old ancient tree into charcoal!
"My goodness!"
Seeing this, Kaede Shota's eyes were filled with shock. She stared at the scene in disbelief, her mind a complete blank!
There were assassins nearby!
But Ito Yuichi hadn't arrived yet, Erzhu only had some basic skills, and she knew nothing. What could she do?
If Erzhu died here, how would she explain it to her father, and how would she explain it to Mei Li and the others!
The more Kaede Shota thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her face grew paler.
"Miss Keiko, you hide first. I'll handle this."
Compared to Kaede Shota's panic, Erzhu appeared much calmer, as if all this was within his expectations.
"No, this is my territory, and I will protect your safety!"
Kaede Shota repeatedly shook her head, spreading her arms to shield Erzhu, looking like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
"Miss, have you truly fallen for this Chinese man?"
Just as Kaede Shota was about to shout, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away. Kaede Shota looked up and saw Ito Yuichi leading five or six bodyguards down the mountain.
At the same time, more than a dozen archers stood up, tightly surrounding Erzhu and her!
"Ito Yuichi, are you rebelling?"
Kaede Shota's face turned terrifyingly grim. She frowned deeply and shouted.
She had thought it was a Japanese businessman whom Erzhu had offended who had set a trap again, but she never expected the culprit to be her own bodyguard!
This was simply outrageous!
"I'll ask you again, do you truly love him?"
Ito Yuichi did not answer the question, but pointed at Erzhu even more angrily and asked again.
He had imagined his goddess falling for someone else, but he never expected her to fall for a Chinese man!
For his sake, she even risked her life. Such behavior made him very displeased!
"That's my business, it has nothing to do with you..."
"It has something to do with me, because he attacked me because he likes you."
Before Kaede Shota could finish speaking, Erzhu suddenly snatched the words away. Hearing this, Kaede Shota looked at Ito Yuichi in disbelief.
"What? How is that possible!"
Kaede Shota looked at the bodyguard, who was so familiar she couldn't be more familiar with him, in utter disbelief.
She had known Ito Yuichi since childhood, but she had never considered such a thing!
"How is it possible? You are the distinguished daughter of the Shota family, with a beauty that could topple cities and a kind heart. Why would I not like such a wonderful woman?"
"And this is why I, the eldest son of the esteemed Ito family, came to the Shota family to be a bodyguard!"
Seeing Kaede Shota's shocked expression, Ito Yuichi decided to stop hiding anything and revealed everything.
He was originally the eldest son of the top wealthy family, the Ito family, in Yamato. His father had sent him to be raised in an ordinary family for tempering. But now, he was about to come of age, and as soon as he reached adulthood, he could return to the Ito family and propose to Yoshinari Shota!
But he never expected Kaede Shota to fall in love with a Chinese man at this time!
"What? You are the eldest son of the Ito family? The Ito family, that's the top wealthy family in Yamato!"
Kaede Shota was now utterly shocked. She never imagined that her family's bodyguard had such a prominent background!
"So, Keiko, will you be with me? I will always treat you well!"
Seeing Kaede Shota's dumbfounded expression, Ito Yuichi nodded slightly and spread his arms as he spoke.
Everyone knew the Shota family was a top family in Yamato, but they didn't know that the Shota family was in gradual decline!
And this was also why Yoshinari Shota agreed to let this Chinese man come to Yamato!
Therefore, even if Keiko didn't like him, for the sake of the family, she would choose him!
As for this Chinese man, he was no match for their Ito family!
