Simultaneous time travel: But our system is out of sync!

Chapter 33 Ninja?

"Oh, hehehehe!"

"We can hear Oda-sama pleading for help from us rats."

"That's truly incredible!"

Then came a series of unpleasant sounds, like fingernails scraping glass.

A dwarf dressed in black appeared in Lin Bei's eyes as if emerging from the darkness.

The leader of the ronin, whom the dwarf called Oda Juro, initially showed a hint of joy, but after taking a half step back, his expression turned extremely gloomy.

He looked at the dwarf with a mocking expression, his teeth clenched, his voice chilling.

"Sasara, I sent you a message before I came, asking you to cooperate with us in intercepting the hunters from Rose House."

"Why did you hide in the shadows and not show yourself, and even watch my ronin be killed?"

"Are you planning to betray our lord?"

Upon hearing the words of the leading ronin, a sinister glint flashed in the dwarf's eyes.

"What are you saying, Lord Juro?"

"I, Sasara, am my lord's dog. What dog would betray its master?"

"I was afraid that Lord Juro would accuse me of stealing credit, so I wanted Lord Juro to enjoy the credit alone, which is why I didn't lend a hand."

"I just didn't expect that you, Lord Juro, couldn't even handle a mere brat."

"This really surprised Sasara."

"Could it be that after Lord Juro was granted the surname by the lord, he has only been resting on his laurels and neglecting his martial arts skills?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, if that's the case, then it's really not right."

"After all, Lord Juro, you once said that the lord has no need for useless subordinates."

"Trash should be thrown into the landfill; they don't even deserve to be called dogs."

Upon hearing the words of the dwarf ninja Sasara, the leader of the ronin's expression grew even more unpleasant.

He never expected that Sasara would dare to openly betray him during a mission because of what happened back then.

However, the current situation is not as favorable as it seems.

Although his status within the family was much higher than Sasara's.

But he still forced a smile.

"Sasara, I'm sorry about what happened back then."

"But there's nothing I can do."

"Who told Sasaki to hear what he shouldn't have heard and see what he shouldn't have seen?"

"Besides, that matter was originally decided by our lord. I am just a subordinate and have no right to make the decision."

"In that case, let's join forces this time."

"Capture this hunter."

"This hunter has a special identity; even Lady Rose takes the initiative to receive him."

"Moreover, their strength is considerable, and they are very likely the rare bloodline that our lord has been searching for."

"If we can capture him, we can help our lord take the plan to the next level."

"Then we'll both be great contributors."

"And I don't want any credit for this; it's all yours."

"In this way, you too can receive a surname from the lord, and like me, escape your lowly status and become a noble."

How about this?

After listening to the leader of the ronin's words, Sasara slowly walked to his side and extended his hand. His face was ingratiating, as if he had been persuaded.

Upon seeing Sasara's appearance, the leader of the ronin wore a sincere expression on his face, but inwardly he was sneering.

"A dog is a dog, and a lowly person should always remain a lowly person."

"If you just throw out a little food, it will wag its tail and come running."

"A mere commoner dares to dream of becoming a nobleman."

"Completing the mission is the priority now; I'll let you be smug for a while."

"When I see the lord, I will accuse you of framing your superior and have the lord turn you into a monster like Sasaki."

"To reunite you two brothers."

However, the ruthless leader of the ronin forgot that when he called others dogs and lowly people...

He was once the dog and the lowly one he spoke of.

Having escaped poverty, he not only didn't want to help those still struggling, but instead wanted to push them deeper into the mud.

It's as if this would allow them to escape their true origins and become truly superior beings.

However, just as the leader of the ronin was brewing his evil plan with a fake smile on his face...

Suddenly, his eyes bulged, his fake smile turned into pain, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

A jet-black kunai was plunged deep into his throat.

A stream of black blood gushed from the wound inflicted by the kunai.

Clearly, the kunai was not only deeply embedded, but also coated with a potent poison.

The leader of the ronin glared angrily, unable to utter a single word, and thus met his end.

In the end, he did not die at the hands of the enemy.

Instead, he died at the hands of someone he had never respected and someone he always wanted to bury deep in the dust.

In his eyes, dogs are in the hands of the lowly people.

Upon seeing that the leader of the ronin was completely dead, the dwarf ninja pulled the kunai out of his throat, letting the black blood splatter all over him.

The fawning expression on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by deep mockery.

"I used the credit you gave me, so killing you wouldn't make the credit belong to me alone, would it?"

After saying that, he turned to look at Lin Bei, who looked like he was watching a good show, and spoke in a cold tone.

"Aren't you going to run away?"

Lin Bei raised an eyebrow.

Why should I run away?

Upon hearing Lin Bei's words, the dwarf ninja looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"Has Lady Rose gone mad?"

"That's why they sent an idiot."

"She's killed more than just one or two hunters here."

"Why would we send a fool like you who thinks he's great just because he killed a few useless ronin?"

At this point, a hint of pity flashed in the dwarf ninja's eyes.

"Oh, I understand!"

"Do you have a grudge against Lady Rose, so she sent you here to die?"

"It's so pitiful, he's so young and his mind isn't working properly."

"You've been sold out and you're still helping them count the money."

"I was originally planning to let you go back so you could tell Lady Rose to stop sending people here to die."

"It seems you probably won't survive even if I let you go back."

"And although I look down on that idiot I just killed, he was at least someone who was given a surname by the lord."

"If I were to die a fair and square death at the hands of my lord, I wouldn't know how to explain it to him."

"How about this, rather than letting you die at that woman's hands without any value."

"I might as well just kill you, and then I'll say that you killed that piece of trash."

"Then I killed you to avenge him."

"That way, we can explain it to our lord."

"I'm a genius."

At this point, the dwarf couldn't help but jump up and clap his hands, looking as if he were deep in thought and resourceful.

There was no trace of the cruelty one would expect from someone who had just killed another; instead, his eyes were as innocent as a child's, as if the lives of others were utterly insignificant to him.

Looking into those eyes, Lin Bei felt a chill in his heart.

This irrational innocence is more terrifying than any real murderous demon.

Because no matter how many people a murderer kills, at least they are aware that they are killing people.

And this dwarf ninja in front of us truly sees human life as worthless.

In his eyes, human life is not human life.

It was just wild grass that could be seen everywhere by the roadside.

It's just some pebbles on the road that hurt your feet.

He can harvest and trample on them whenever he needs to.
