"Yes, he also told me that Yagyu Kenjiro has already teamed up with the Hattori Family to eradicate us completely, and now the Hattori Family is also purging us throughout the Federation."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan began to understand.
"Did he also tell you about the deployment of the Hattori Family's forces? If you want to survive, you should preemptively strike against the Hattori Family?"
"How did you know?" Chiba Yichiryu was startled, then added, "Koizumi Hideo also said that if our manpower is insufficient, he could help us, but we will need to offer something in return."
After hearing this, Xiao Zhan fully understood.
Koizumi Hideo, as he had suspected, did not favor a tripartite standoff but aimed for one family to dominate.
He intentionally lured Yagyu Kenjiro away, fearing that the Chiba Family was no match for the Hattori Family, leaving the Seventh Grade Sovereign Hattori Kaji to face Xiao Zhan one-on-one, to avoid the Chiba Family being thoroughly crushed.
