Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040

Outside the operating room at Shinjuku Hospital, several bigwigs of the Ikeda clan had gathered, and their expressions were all extremely grim.

The battle today had led to the complete annihilation of Ikeda clan's four consecrated Sword Kings and the mighty Bear Guard, dealing a fatal blow to the clan.

Ichikuma Chida was pacing back and forth with a difficult expression, his arm wrapped in thick bandages. However, his primary concern was his son, Ikeda Yuki.

Having had a son late in life, Ikeda Yuki was essentially the last hope for the Ikeda family. If something were to happen, it would mean the end of the Ikeda bloodline.

Now that the old patriarch had returned to the Ikeda family, the wrath of Magoshin would be unbearable if there were no descendants.

At this moment, the door to the operating room finally opened, and a doctor in a white coat hurried inside.

"How is it?" Ichikuma Chida rushed over anxiously.

But the doctor's expression wasn't good. He respectfully said to Ichikuma Chida, "The young master's life was saved, but..."

"But what?" Ichikuma Chida grabbed the doctor's collar.

The doctor trembled, "Though his life is saved, the young master will likely be unable to have children for the rest of his life."

"What did you say?" Ichikuma Chida instantly flew into a rage, lifting the doctor into the air.

The doctor turned pale, "Sir, we have done our best."

"Bastard!" Ichikuma Chida angrily tossed the doctor aside and strode into the ward.

Inside the ward, Ikeda Yuki was still connected to a drip, his face pale as paper, his brow furrowed, clearly enduring unbearable pain.

Looking at his son on the hospital bed, Ichikuma Chida's fists clenched tightly, murder shining in his eyes.

"Dad, my... is shattered, I..."

Ikeda Yuki looked at his father and couldn't help but burst into tears.

His greatest joy in life was toying with women, but now he was ruined, not even a normal man anymore. Lin Chen's kick had practically wrecked his entire future.

"Dad, my life is over. You must kill Lin Chen for me and tear him to pieces." Ikeda Yuki cried with venomous resentment.

Ichikuma Chida's eyes were cold as he gritted his teeth, "Don't worry, Yuki, I will eviscerate Lin Chen to avenge you." With that, Ichikuma Chida turned and left the ward.

In a secret room of the Ikeda clan, Magoshin sat with his eyes slightly closed, a faint dark aura swirling around him.

Ichikuma Chida entered and knelt at Magoshin's feet, "Grandfather, Yuki was maimed by Lin Chen and can no longer continue our lineage."

Magoshin's eyes snapped open, cold as an ice cave, "My Ikeda family will not end. Kill Lin Chen and we can become the overlords, obtaining the verses of the Flower of Life. If we find the Flower of Life, Yuki can regain the ability to reproduce."

"Really?" Ichikuma Chida's face showed a glimmer of joy.

"In tomorrow's battle, I will settle the score with Lin Chen for destroying my disciple and the Ikeda family's bloodline, and I will surely kill him." Magoshin's eyes gleamed red, a wave of murderous intent surging forth.

Enveloped by this murderous aura, Ichikuma Chida felt his whole body trembling.

Magoshin slowly stood up and told Ichikuma Chida, "Our Ikeda family has been too low-key in recent years. After tomorrow's battle, I aim to unify the Island Nation's underground forces and make the Ikeda clan the rulers of the Island Nation."

"The divine power of the old patriarch, unified the Island Nation." Ichikuma Chida looked thrilled.

Forty years ago, Magoshin had wiped out all underground forces in the Island Nation, bringing unity, and even the Prime Minister at the time showed deference to him.

However, after Magoshin went into seclusion, the Ikeda family's power was gradually eroded, eventually fracturing, and other forces in the Island Nation grew stronger.

Over a decade ago, because of Ichikuma Chida's father's obsession with women, the Ikeda family's power plummeted, leaving them huddled in Shinjuku.

Fortunately, this generation's Ichikuma Chida showed some promise, allowing the Ikeda family to become one of the three major powers.

With the return of Magoshin, he intends to make the Ikeda clan the master of the Island Nation's underworld once again through bloodshed.

Lin Chen is the starting point of Magoshin's battle, and he aims to use Lin Chen's blood as a banner, with aspirations beyond the Island Nation to the entire Asian underground, and even the world.

Currently, the Island Nation's underworld is in shock. The calamity of forty years ago was terrifying, turning the Island Nation into a virtual hell.

Wherever Magoshin went, resistance was met with rivers of blood. Now that this god of slaughter has returned, everyone feels a strong sense of crisis.

All the Island Nation's forces are sending representatives to Mount Fuji, placing little hope in Lin Chen, considering him almost a dead man.

Forty years ago, Magoshin was already terrifyingly powerful, and now, forty years later, who knows how formidable he has become.

These forces send representatives with only one goal: to pledge allegiance to Magoshin, hoping to become his vassals and save their own lives.

Meanwhile, inside the villa, Ye Zi was already asleep.

"Lin Chen, let's chat for a while," Jia Xiaoqing said to Lin Chen.

"Sure! Let me take you somewhere," Lin Chen said with a beaming smile, scooping Jia Xiaoqing into his arms.

"Jerk, what are you doing?" Jia Xiaoqing was completely unprepared for Lin Chen's unorthodox actions.

Even more shocking was that Lin Chen carried her to the window.

"Hey, this is the third floor! If you want to commit suicide by jumping, don't drag me along," Jia Xiaoqing suddenly felt panicked.

But before she could finish speaking, Lin Chen had already floated out the window.

"This madman!" Frightened by the rush of wind past her ears, Jia Xiaoqing closed her eyes.

However, when she opened her eyes, she found she was now on the villa's rooftop.

Lin Chen set Jia Xiaoqing down and said with a light smile, "The view here is nice. Were you planning to confess and say you've fallen in love with me, wanting to marry me?"

"Idiot! Who would marry a jerk like you?" Jia Xiaoqing blushed and said.

Under the moonlight, Jia Xiaoqing looked like a celestial being who had descended to earth, her flawless complexion glowing like jade and her enchanting long legs made Lin Chen swallow hard.

Especially when Jia Xiaoqing blushed with shyness; it was incredibly captivating.

"Hey, have you seen enough? I helped you a lot this time; shouldn't you thank me?" Jia Xiaoqing asked with a gentle smile at Lin Chen.

"Thank you, of course! How about I give myself to you?" Lin Chen cheekily replied.

"Get lost, I don't want that." Although Jia Xiaoqing said this with her mouth, her heart trembled slightly.

"Then, how about I give you the night?" Lin Chen said earnestly, gritting his teeth.

"You...I'm not talking to you anymore." Jia Xiaoqing pouted, turning her head away from Lin Chen.

"Alright, alright, I was wrong, okay? How do you want me to thank you?" Lin Chen quickly apologized when he saw that Jia Xiaoqing was really upset.

Jia Xiaoqing finally looked at Lin Chen with tender eyes, "I want you..."
