Uchiha Hiko ignored Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto. A guy as shrewd as he was would see hope the moment Hiko showed even the slightest unusual emotion.
Then he would launch into another barrage of persuasion!
And he would not stop until he had convinced you!
So it was better for Uchiha Hiko to keep his distance. But after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and thought for a moment, deciding to wait for Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto to go first.
The moment Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto saw Uchiha Hiko stop, hope flared in his heart again. "What is it? Did you change your mind?"
Uchiha Hiko replied expressionlessly, "No. I just do not know the way. You lead."
"Heh heh." Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto showed no emotion on the surface, but inwardly, he was even more dejected.
Why can't I keep this promising youngster? He's cunning and clever, understands the ways of the world, and he's strong too. Sigh...
If Uchiha Hiko had known what he was thinking, his face would have been covered in black lines. Is this guy praising me or insulting me?
Suddenly, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto glanced at Uchiha Hiko and said, "You actually want me to show you the way? You have quite the nerve."
Uchiha Hiko froze. "I'm the boss, and you actually want me to lead you? Are you tired of living?"
Though he instantly understood what Yamamoto meant, he had no desire to explain! To begin with, he had never regarded Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto as his superior or his boss!
That was simply ridiculous. If Uchiha Hiko revealed his true strength, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto would probably beg to acknowledge him as his boss instead.
After all, this was a world where strength reigned supreme—especially individual strength!
In such a world, cruel laws were everywhere! Anime only
