Chapter 327 Mysterious Yarimasa

?Seeing this, Daniel knew that Kuroda had stopped being downhearted as it was replaced by anger. He let out a smile before leaning forward on the table and spoke.

"I have a proposition for you, Mr. Kuroda… Do you want to help me manage tourism on my island?

Think about it. You'd stay in a place with the most advanced technology in the world and enough resources to turn some backward country into the richest country in the world. From the information I've read, you are a skilled manager when it comes to tourism.

You could bring your family along to live on my island. I'll give you a seaside mansion along with automated servant bots and lucrative incentives for your hard work. You can even try to kill me since you should have plenty of time and resources to build your faction. But be warned, you only have one chance to claim my head," Daniel said with a confident smile, stunning people who are listening to such a conversation.

Hearing this, Daniel Kuroda was stunned before letting out a laugh.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" He laughed out loud for some time, as if he was amused at what he heard. contemporary romance

Daniel, still maintaining his faint smile, optimistically expected a good answer from the Daimyo.

"Hahahahaha… That was a good one. Who do you think you are? Daniel Emberweave, Cao Cao? Who uses people regardless of their background or animosity? And you even offer these… absurd things to me such as a single chance to take your head.

Don't insult my intelligence; you think I'm not aware that I had no chance against you, did you? I'm not that stupid to fight in a war that I had no chance at fighting.

It's one thing if I was ordered to fight and another if it were my choice." Kuroda paused, sipping his tea, and continued. "To be honest, killing my older cousin and taking the title of the Lord of Ryukyu or even making a coup and becoming a Shogun myself should have a better chance of succeeding than killing you," Kuroda said with a smirk.

Hearing this, Daniel stopped dead on track, his smile vanishing as if he had just noticed something important. It's like the moment he realized he ate the wrong medicine after he had already eaten it.

"Wait… You're not the lord of Ryukyu?" Daniel asked.

"Who told you I am?" The former Daimyo asked, looking weirdly at Daniel.

"But…" Daniel turned toward Kato, the first local people he befriended then asked. "Didn't you say that the lord of Ryukyu also presides here?" Daniel asked in confusion.

"Mr. Emberweave, I said that 'He's one of the lords that preside here.' Also, I clearly said the lord of Ryukyu is Yarimasa Kuroda, and not Goro Kuroda." Kato patiently explained.

"Yes, I'm the lord of the Naha state, but still not the lord of Ryukyu islands, since Ryukyu islands consist of many islands, and Okinawa where Naha state is just one of the many islands in Ryukyu islands," Kuroda explained.

"..." After hearing Kuroda's explanation, Daniel clutched his forehead and massaged his temple; he felt like he was an idiot not to realize this sooner and think that Kuroda is the lord of Ryukyu islands all along.

Seeing Daniel like this, both Gluttony and Pride let out a chuckle since they are the only ones in the room who dare to openly laugh at Daniel while the others are trying to force their amusement down their throats.

"So… knowing that I'm not the one you're looking for. Is your offer still available?" asked Kuroda.

"Of course, it's still available. What I want is your skill and experience in management, not your influence," Daniel quickly replied.

"Good! Then, I accept your offer," Goro Kuroda said as he shook hands with Daniel.

Daniel let out a sigh; this is a lesson learned for him not to assume things. He needs to check the information better in the future, and also he needs to specify the name of the individual in the report. In this case, he assumed that this Goro Kuroda is the same as Yarimasa Kuroda, since he's staying here and managing things in Naha State.

Anyhow, he needs to find and eliminate Yarimasa Kuroda or make him not interfere with what he plans to do in Naha state.

"One more thing, do you know where this Yarimasa is? I mean, your cousin," Daniel asks after finishing shaking hands and waiting for their respective sides to draft the contract.

"To be honest, I don't know. That guy has more than hundreds of bases and safe houses all over the Ryukyu islands. Usually, he would return and stay here for a few days each month, but after your display of power with that orbital cannon of yours, I think he would have already gone into hiding and kept himself safe. Can't you use your satellite to check where that guy is?" asked Kuroda.

"Do you have his picture? It's better if you were to have his personal belongings that he uses a lot, such as a shirt, swords, anything. I could use those to track him down with my spell," asked Daniel.

"That… Wait… Do I have his picture? No… Yarimasa's belongings too… wait…" Kuroda was about to accept but then hesitated and fell into a trance as if trying to think or under the effect of some spell.

"I'm sorry… who's Yarimasa again? I don't know… er… who is he exactly?" Kuroda said with confusion and loss, as if he had never heard of this name before.

Then, all the people in the room suddenly stopped moving, as if they had fallen into a strange trance.

"What?" Daniel was confused, feeling as if something were trying to affect his memory but couldn't penetrate the shield he had cast on himself.

Daniel quickly looked at the people in the room and noticed that, except for Pride, they all had faces as if trying to remember something but couldn't.

"What the hell?" Daniel uttered in disbelief; this was the first time this had happened to the people around him.

This sorcery, spell, or ritual had affected Heracles, Momotaro, and even Gluttony, one of the 7 deadly sins Witches. People without magical ability, such as Goro Kuroda, Kato, and others, were also affected.

"I think it's a 'Forgetfulness' spell, but a regional version instead of the global one that the Hightower uses," said Pride. Her eyes shone with cyan light and had several golden rings in them. She looked at the sky above outside the glass panel within the meeting room.

In her eyes, the spiritual structure resembled colossal roots with several thousand roots piercing into people's heads. Even the people in this room were affected by this spell.

"This spell is quite powerful; if not for my eyes, I would have already been affected by it too," said Pride.

Daniel then sank his mind into his mindscape and realized he couldn't do anything. This spell was not categorized as an enchantment in his mindscape, so the card that could be used to destroy the enchantment couldn't be used. It seemed like this spell was similar to the ones cast on the field, having a one-

time effect like a normal spell but on a massive scale, like his board-clearing spell.

"Do you know how to undo this spell?" Daniel asked Pride after returning his mind to real space.

"It's impossible to undo," said Pride, then continued. "What has been deleted by the forgetfulness spell cannot be taken back. It works as if the memory never existed in the first place, functioning differently than normal memory loss, where there's still a chance to remember it again."

"I see…" Daniel nodded. "So… this Yarimasa is that powerful," Daniel uttered.

His heart weighed heavily; it was the first time he was in a situation where he was completely caught off guard by someone's attack since becoming a mage. If not for the magic shield he usually recast every morning, he would have also been affected by this spell.

"No, I don't think he's that powerful," Pride said, looking at the colossal spiritual structure, the size of the entire island, of the spell that was slowly vanishing in her eyes.

"From my point of view, this spell is a prepared ritual that had been set up beforehand, likely a last resort. When this Yarimasa guy knows that his life is on the line or feels threatened enough that it will endanger him, he will activate this spell."

Pride analyzed, then turned toward Daniel. Her eyes returned to their normal blue color. "I guess he also put some spying rune inside our former Daimyo's body; that's why he knew that you wanted to eliminate him and…" Pride looked in the direction of the Daimyo castle.

"If I were him, I'd go to the Daimyo castle and destroy all of my belongings," Pride said.

As if responding to Pride's words, on the far horizon where the Daimyo castle is, dark smoke began to rise.
