By then, he was already regretting two things. First, when he had learned that the man was Uchiha Hiko, he had still dared to ask Miss Kobayashi whether Uchiha Hiko had forced her.
Just how much courage had he had, to dare meddle in Uchiha Hiko's affairs? Looking back now, Miss Kobayashi's beauty had truly gone to his head.
Even if Uchiha Hiko really had forced Miss Kobayashi, given his position and his nerve, he definitely would not have dared utter a single word.
And not only had he spoken up, when Yamamoto Ichiro had been there, he had even thought of shifting the trouble onto someone else. As long as he handed Uchiha Hiko over to that guy named Yamamoto Ichiro, he could take Miss Kobayashi away himself.
He simply had not expected that he had still underestimated Uchiha Hiko's strength. It had been a complete crushing defeat, and only then did he realize it.
Uchiha Hiko's title as the number one ninja had absolutely not come from nowhere. He truly possessed that kind of overwhelming strength. With that, he understood just how overconfident he had been.
When he met Uchiha Hiko's gaze, Sato Ijin immediately dropped to his knees and tearfully pleaded with Uchiha Hiko:
"Mr. Uchiha Hiko, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! Don't forget that you and my father are on good terms. Please don't blame me. I was wrong. Just let me go like you let Yamamoto Ichiro go."
Hearing him, Uchiha Hiko gave a soft laugh and said:
"What? You want me to treat you the same way I treated Yamamoto Ichiro? That's not a bad idea."
Upon hearing Uchiha Hiko's words, Sato Ijin seemed to see a glimmer of hope. As long as Uchiha Hiko let him go, that was all that mattered.
