36: Chapter 36 Yamamoto Has a Tiger, He Surrendered!

The moment Yamamoto Chizuru surrendered, the surrounding Tiger Warriors also knelt one after another, acknowledging that Xu Xuan was now their new chieftain.

After all, since their master had surrendered, it was naturally impossible for them to continue fighting.

Xu Xuan looked around. It seemed that there were more Tiger Warriors than he had imagined; counting them up, there were two or three hundred people.

In that case, the tribe that Yamamoto Chizuru led was also around five hundred people strong.

He looked again at Yamamoto Chizuru, who was lying on the ground, panting heavily with her chest heaving violently.

Her face was flushed with shame; she had almost been strangled to death by Xu Xuan just now, and she had wet her pants...

Anyone who has seen someone die by hanging knows that the scene of the body losing control and voiding bowels after asphyxiation is extremely unsightly.

This method of death leaves quite a stench afterward. Xu Xuan had once watched a documentary about japanese people and seen a homeless man who, after going bankrupt, hanged himself from a tree in the wild.

The mess in his pants was truly appalling and completely ruined the scenery.

Therefore, those japanese people in the documentaries who died by hanging might look like they left with dignity, but in reality, someone else had to clean up after them post-mortem; it was shameful just thinking about it.

Looking back at Yamamoto Chizuru lying on the ground, this delinquent girl wearing a black school uniform skirt, it was fortunate that she was wearing a black skirt; even if she had wet herself in fear, it wasn't that noticeable.

She turned her head away in great shame, not daring to face Xu Xuan again.

After all, having been defeated and having surrendered to become someone's vassal, all the arrogance she once possessed had been ground away.

But at this moment, the sound of pursuing troops came from behind.

Xu Xuan looked back.

In the distance, Chi You was controlling the Floating Island, hunting down the enemy's tens of thousands of coalition forces, constantly firing arrows to reap lives.

Yet, even in such a situation, a portion of the enemy had still managed to catch up!

The person who arrived was none other than Chizuru's father, Yamamoto Aratora!

Yamamoto Aratora, with a face full of flab, had led a group of elites in pursuit.

Fifteen minutes ago, Yamamoto Aratora had received a message from his daughter; Chizuru said she had ambushed Xu Xuan at this location.

When Yamamoto Aratora arrived, he found that the battle had already ceased, but his daughter was lying on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Yamamoto Aratora's heart trembled: "Chizuru!!!"

He thought his daughter had already met with foul play and had been killed in battle.

Startled by his shout, Yamamoto Chizuru immediately sat up from the grass.

"Fa... Father."

Seeing that his daughter was fine, Yamamoto Aratora breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness... He only had this one daughter; thank heavens nothing had happened to her.

Back when he was involved in the yakuza, he had implicated his family, leading to his wife and son being hacked to death by enemies, leaving him with only this one daughter.

The death of his wife and son back then had always filled him with guilt, so he had given all his love to Chizuru, doting excessively on this lawless little daughter.

However, very quickly, Yamamoto Aratora noticed something wrong.

[Lord: Yamamoto Chizuru]

[Faction: Daxia]

[Sovereign: Xu Xuan]

Huh?

Wait a minute?

How did his own daughter end up in the Daxia camp?

Sovereign Xu Xuan?

What does this mean?

Could it be that his daughter had already surrendered? Had she already become Xu Xuan's dog?

This!?

Yamamoto Aratora's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected his precious daughter to actually defect to the enemy!?

Just now, amidst the chaos, he had finally managed to regroup his troops and rushed over specifically to sandwich Xu Xuan with his daughter.

He hadn't expected...

He hadn't expected that his daughter had already become Xu Xuan's vassal. What was he to do?

Seeing this, Yamamoto Aratora's expression changed drastically, and he roared in shame and anger: "You brat, what exactly have you done!!! What have you done to my daughter!"

One could hear the deep despair in Yamamoto Aratora's voice; this was the anger stemming from the depths of an old father's heart.

Facing Yamamoto Aratora's roar, Xu Xuan lifted his head, looking smug.

He was like the delinquent from next door who had gone and arched the cabbage that the old man had worked so hard to grow.

"You ask what I've done? Need you ask? Now your daughter is my retainer; I can make her do anything, including turning her weapons against her own father!"

Upon hearing Xu Xuan's reply, Yamamoto Aratora dared not act rashly; cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

His precious daughter was already in Xu Xuan's hands; he was now... truly afraid, terrified that Xu Xuan might do something terrible to his daughter.

"What do you want, you treacherous Daxia man! State your terms and release my daughter."

He feared nothing, except for his daughter, who was Yamamoto Aratora's Achilles' heel.

Xu Xuan hadn't expected that capturing Yamamoto Chizuru would bring so many surprises.

This could be considered grasping the opponent's lifeline, right?

That old thief Yamamoto wanted to steal his base, but ended up having his daughter stolen by him instead; how ridiculous.

Since that was the case, Xu Xuan made a steep demand: "It's simple, I want you to bring the entire Yamamoto-gumi and become my vassal!"

The more underlings he got, the better. Since they were all Japanese Lords anyway, taking them in as dogs and watching them kill each other—wouldn't that be wonderful?

He was currently surrounded by one hundred million Japanese Lords; taking in a few more underlings to share the pressure wasn't bad either.

Furthermore, Xu Xuan especially liked watching the Japanese Warring States period, where it was all japanese people killing each other.

It was just like how japanese people liked watching our Three Kingdoms; it was the same principle.

Facing the condition proposed by Xu Xuan, beads of sweat began to roll down Yamamoto Aratora's forehead.

His daughter was now in Xu Xuan's hands, and she was his only precious daughter.

Recalling the past... the scene of his wife and son being hacked to death by enemies was still vivid in his mind.

Past events flashed through Yamamoto Aratora's mind like a slide show; the tragic deaths of his wife and son stabbed at his heart again and again.

Now he only had this one daughter left...

For his daughter, he could choose to surrender; he could disregard everything else.

Thinking of this, under the astonished gazes of a bunch of underlings, Yamamoto Aratora raised his hands.

"I agree to surrender, but you must promise me, you absolutely cannot hurt my daughter!"

In the shocked eyes of his followers, Yamamoto Aratora, this yakuza boss, had actually chosen to surrender for the sake of his daughter!?

He was actually willing to become a vassal of that Daxia man, willing to be a dog for a little brat around eighteen years old?

Was this a joke or was he for real?

Just then, Xu Xuan raised his hand: "This is a vassal contract, sign it!"

As Xu Xuan threw out the vassal agreement, as long as Yamamoto Aratora signed this treaty, he would lose his autonomy and become a lord under Xu Xuan.

When the time came, if Xu Xuan told him to go east, he wouldn't dare to go west.

If he was told to fight against his own kind, he would have to grit his teeth and do it.

Looking at the terms on the document, Yamamoto Aratora took a deep breath; he knew that once he signed, he would become a servant, never to rise again.

But he still glanced at Chizuru, who was kneeling beside Xu Xuan; this was his only flesh and blood, so he had no choice but to sign.

"Fine, I agree."

Under everyone's gaze, Yamamoto Aratora pressed his hand onto it, agreeing to become Xu Xuan's vassal; the two parties had reached a contract.

Now both the Yamamoto father and daughter had become retainers under Xu Xuan.

But at the very moment Yamamoto Aratora signed, a mammoth tusk pierced through his heart from behind.

A mouthful of blood gushed out; Yamamoto Aratora's pupils trembled, and blood sprayed uncontrollably from his mouth.

He only felt his consciousness beginning to dim, and in his ears rang his daughter Chizuru's heart-wrenching scream: "Father!!!"
