NOVEL NEXT Chapter 25 – The Hand (闇の手)
"Just force by circumstance, and I need to keep earning! You guys go ahead, we'll talk about the financial stuff later. Well, the food is on me for now, I'll go back and check it out first, you guys can keep drinking." Chris got up to pay. "Bucky and Steve insisted on coming, Chris could only bring them along.
...
After opening the door, they saw Bucky's parents, Winnifred and George, were sitting apart from each other, apparently they had an argument.
"Bro, crashing at your place tonight." Bucky whispered.
"No problem, but it might be a little cramped," Steve whispered back.
Seeing that all was well, Chris nodded and left, heading to the bar to find Oswarld, to see if there was any new information he should be aware of.
...
At Bucky's house, Bucky's father coldly said, "You sleep with Chris, he advances us money and we have to find a way to pay him back later.
Winnifred was annoyed and laughed, she had slept with Chris before just for the sake of the family, and now her husband was actually telling her to sacrifice her flesh to please her debtors, this was a serious matter of principle!
"Are you still a man, George?" Winnifred asked angrily.
"Oh, so what can we do? There's nothing we can do but this! And you think he's a good man? Now what other way do you have but this?" George asked rhetorically, with some sadness and some annoyance and some impotent rage!
Winnifred sneered, "Letting your wife sleep with another man, only you can say that out loud! Well, I will sleep with him, don't regret it!"
George was relieved instead, after all, he couldn't have sex anymore, and even more, at Chris' request, he couldn't touch Winnifred anymore. But he still had the last dignity of a man, as long as his wife slept with Chris, he would have an excuse not to sleep with his wife, and the fact that he was a eunuch wouldn't be exposed.
However, what he didn't even think about was that having the Yamaguchi-gumi castrate him was what Chris had ordered! Just for the sake of completely possessing his beautiful and voluptuous wife～
...
After meeting with Oswarld and finding out no special new information, Chris went to the park to practice his practical spell.
His current CP had reached three hundred thousand, and there were still seven hundred thousand left to exchange the Perfect Super Soldier Serum. The seven hundred thousand was too hard to come by unless he could get a sample of the Super Soldier Serum!
Chris sort of realized that if he wanted to save his CP, he had to find the relevant type of thing as a lead, and after turned it in to the system, the system would discount a set of very favorable prices for him to buy the advanced item.
For example, if he turned in the regular Iron Man Battlesuit, he could then buy the latest version of the system-enhanced Iron Man Battlesuit at a 30% discount, and after wearing it, it's no problem to easily beat up Thanos and kick his ass!
...
Once more to the Kawahira Cabaret, but this time, Chris was alone.
Koguma Nitta sat respectfully on his knees while Chris slowly and methodically looked at the gold bars in front of him. Gold bars can be turned in to the system to exchange for CP, or even raw material ores can be.
"My lord, after your last attack, it is rumored that the Inagawa Group has allied with the Hand and is preparing a revenge attack against us! Please help us!" Nitta bowed his head respectfully and said.
"Is that all you can do? Why are you panicking, aren't you going to call the headquarters for help? Hmph, neither the Iga ninja nor the Koga ninja can be trusted, there are traitors among them. After I slaughter Yamamoto Isoroku, they won't be enough to fear!" Chris grunted.
Kill an admiral? He had no such plans, only to intimidate, to strengthen his authority in Nitta's mind.
"We've already asked for help, but headquarters is too busy to send reinforcements to help us either, what should we do? My lord, please save me! The Hand will not let us go!" Nitta wailed, less a man than a pussy.
"Then go and seek help from the Falcone family in Gotham City, they control the Court of Owls and are strong enough to fight the Hand. Remember, if it's hopeless, flee for now, leave before it's too late, you don't have to die before I make my mark." Chris sneered.
Nitta did not dare to resist, he could only obediently obey.
As they left the cabaret, Chris' eyebrows furrowed a bit - Yami no te (闇の手), an ancient powerful ninja clan, commonly known as the Hand. The reason they were called "Hand" was because their symbol was a hand - a hand with five fingers, representing the five leaders inside, all of whom were super strong existences, as well as old undead who had lived for a long time!
With Chris' current strength, it was indeed a bit difficult to face them. Before that, he needed to improve his strength as soon as possible.
In the evening, Chris said goodbye to his mother and Aunt Esther, and then went back to Bucky's house again...
