Chapter 18
Applying Pressure
"Yes, yes, I understand. I'll handle this personally. Please rest assured, I will definitely satisfy Young Master Hyuga."
"Hi, hi."
After bowing and scraping as he hung up the phone, his emotions toward the leader of the Demon Ninja Organization suddenly erupted.
He abruptly overturned the wooden table in front of him, knocking it to the ground. His eyes were bloodshot as he gasped for breath and cursed:
"That damned, money-grubbing bastard dares to talk to me like that."
"Damn it, damn it! How dare they threaten me!"
"Ridiculous! Do you think our organization needs the meager funds from your Hyuga Foundation?"
"Just an old dog whose master has died, yet it's talking to me like this for its young master!"
The leader paced back and forth, occasionally kicking over something in front of him while muttering curses under his breath.
At this moment, the several senior executives in his office were all standing trembling.
Only one cold-faced man wearing frameless glasses remained unmoved in his seat, inwardly sneering.
"Heh, without the Hyuga Group's financial support, how many bases would go out of business? Do you dare take that responsibility?"
The cold-faced man is now worried about the organization's future. It is a special organization set up by the government to fight against demons, but its combat power is declining day by day because of these parasites.
Funds that should have been in place were also manipulated, with less than one-tenth actually being implemented.
More and more lower-level and even middle-level personnel defected for personal gain, resulting in several demon ninjas being betrayed and captured.
It's important to understand that becoming a Demon Ninja isn't something anyone can do; it's a position passed down through generations.
This is not a tradition, but rather a result of physiological inheritance.
Only individuals with DNA possessing the power of Taimanin can use Taimanin abilities.
Such individuals can reach the pinnacle of physical abilities and combat skills that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The loss of each Anti-Demon Ninja represents an irreparable and enormous loss to the organization, signifying a weakening of both its present and future strength.
The fact that this situation has occurred means that the leader in front of us bears an unshirkable responsibility. Back when the old leader was in power, the organization was incredibly strong. Even at night, the demons dared not easily harm people.
Not to mention daring to show up so brazenly in broad daylight and harming the granddaughter of a high-ranking official, this is an utter disgrace!
Thinking of this, the cold-faced man felt even more resentful.
After a long while, the leader's emotions gradually calmed down.
After taking a sip of water, the leader addressed one of the high-ranking officials:
"Mr. Yamashiro Jiro, tell me what's going on with your granddaughter. Why did that old dog from the Hyuga Group personally call to question you?"
The high-ranking official, named Yamashiro Jiro, was nearly seventy years old, but he dared not show the slightest disrespect to this young man who was just around thirty.
He hunched over and said with utmost respect:
"This is all my fault for that good-for-nothing granddaughter. She actually lost her virginity to a few demons and ended up in the hospital. Everyone knows about it now, and I've completely lost face."
"As for the Hyuga Group, I know absolutely nothing about it. Whether my granddaughter is hospitalized or not is none of their business. It's simply outrageous!"
At this point, Yamashiro Jiro's expression clearly turned angry.
After hearing what Yamashiro Jiro said, the leader was clearly stunned for a moment. He couldn't figure out how this matter could be related to the young master of the Hyuga Group.
At their level, they have no shortage of descendants. Yamashiro Jiro's approach to his granddaughter is a common practice among people of their stature.
The Hyuga Foundation has no need to threaten itself because of this; it would be better if everyone could make money peacefully.
Then it is very likely that it came from the young master of the Hyuga family.
The leader then asked Yamashiro Jiro:
"Who did you send to the hospital to handle this matter?"
"Reporting to the chief, it is Mizuki Yukikaze."
"Yukikaze Mizushiro? Could she know something? Go and call her over here."
Yamashiro Jiro looked troubled after hearing this.
"I've already sent her on the mission; she should be on her way by now."
"Bang!"
"what!"
The next moment, a stool suddenly smashed into Yamashiro Jiro's head, and a large amount of blood immediately flowed from Yamashiro Jiro's head, and he fell straight down.
After knocking Yamashiro Jiro unconscious, the leader roared at the other high-ranking members:
"Why aren't you going to call Mizuki Yukikaze back right now?"
"Hi!"
The entire office instantly descended into chaos, with people calling Mizuki Yukikaze and summoning the medical team.
Only the cold-faced man remained leisurely seated, sipping his tea, as if everything around him was irrelevant.
The leader merely glanced at him and said nothing.
After finishing his phone call with the butler, Hyuga Gen and Mingming sat down in front of the bed to wait.
He also called Nanao Akane and asked her to find a nice restaurant nearby and wait for him to come back after she arrived at his apartment.
It wasn't until late afternoon, when Hinata Gen's patience was about to run out, that a group of people appeared at the ward door.
The leader was none other than Sakata Ryuji, the leader of the Anti-Demon Ninja organization.
Looking at the well-dressed, refined-looking middle-aged man at the head of the group, Hyuga Gen searched his memory but had no recollection of him.
Although Hyuga Gen didn't know Sakata Ryuji, he had a feeling that the guy wasn't a good person, so he didn't give him a friendly look.
As soon as Sakata Ryuji entered, he saw Hinata Gen and walked over enthusiastically, extending his right hand to Hinata Gen.
"This must be young master Hyuga. You are truly a young man of great talent and a dragon among men. I am Sakata Ryuji, the leader of the Anti-Demon Ninja Organization. It is a pleasure to meet you."
"Tell me, where have I done anything good? How come I don't know anything about it?"
Hyuga Gen's unconventional answer almost made Sakata Ryuji lose his forced smile. After his lips twitched a few times, he finally said:
"Young Master Hyuga is joking, haha."
Then he looked at Mingming, who was silently protecting Hyuga Gen, and Sakata Ryuji's pupils shrank slightly.
"What's that woman doing here?"
He knew Mingming's combat strength; in terms of destructive power, Mingming was among the top sorcerers.
Not to mention that this guy has a close relationship with that terrifying white-haired guy, so it's best not to offend him.
Thinking of this, Sakata Ryuji nodded politely to Mingming again, but Mingming only glanced at him before looking away.
This prompted Ryuji Sakata to make another note of it in his notebook.
Just then, Hyuga Gen suddenly glanced around at the people Sakata Ryuji had brought, and seeing that none of them matched his age, he asked with displeasure:
"Alright, has Miss Yamashiro Megumi's grandfather arrived? If I remember correctly, that's what I asked for."
