This Ninja Is Obviously Not Strong but Really Hard to Kill

"It's terrible, it's terrible. All the people who said they would fund Grandpa to build a bridge have been beheaded in the square!"

Inari was running and shouting.

Kaiza was chopping wood outside the house, and when she heard Inari's shouts, she even split the wood.

"What happened, Inari? Don't rush. Speak slowly."

"Today, our Iho Society caught a lot of people and executed many of them on charges of smuggling, extortion, and many other crimes. And I heard that those people were executed on these charges because they agreed to fund Grandpa to build a bridge!"

"Some people say that those like Grandpa who want to build a bridge will also be implicated, and someone will come to arrest them soon. Tell Grandpa to flee the country quickly!"

Inari, held tightly by Kaiza, spoke anxiously.

Although it seems ridiculous that the biggest smuggler in the Nation of Waves frames others for smuggling, in reality, in the Nation of Waves, the Iho Society is the only commercial firm that can smuggle legally.

So those who touched the pie of the Iho Society were indeed guilty of smuggling.

If you want to earn money honestly, how could you eye the maritime business monopolized by the Iho Society?

So it's effortless to investigate them and find some evidence.

However, anyone with clear eyes can see why these people were executed, so there were 'rumors' that Inari heard.

Then an old man exited the house, "What's the panic? The sky hasn't fallen. I, Grandpa, don't steal or rob. Who can convict me?"

The older adult, weathered by the elements, had been through many storms, and although he was dressed very plainly, his eyes occasionally sparkled with the guile of a schemer.

Dazna had seen all sorts of people in his life.

How could he not know what those guys were thinking when they suddenly came to him enthusiastically, saying they wanted to fund the construction of a grand bridge across the sea?

He also knew he would offend this country's absolute rulers once he agreed.

But he couldn't resist the temptation of leaving a legacy in history!

And in his view, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages for the country and the people.

After connecting with the outside world, the Nation of Waves would no longer be at the mercy of the Iho Society.

However, the Iho Society has done well under that leader's guidance, feeding the people and allowing everyone to live a more prosperous, dignified life.

But this still needs to change the fact that the Nation of Waves is entirely under the control of the Iho Society.

Since the Iho Society can provide such a life for everyone, they can also take it back.

This is the most significant hidden danger!

What if the next president of the Iho Society no longer agrees with the current development philosophy?

In a minute, they could bring everyone back to square one!

Therefore, from a long-term perspective, it's necessary to find a way to break this abnormal social structure, although doing so is like betraying after crossing the bridge.

You should remember who dug the well when you drank the water.

But this 'villain,' Dazna, still decided to take on the role himself.

Righteousness + self-interest made him agree with those people. Still, for the sake of caution, he submitted the bridge construction proposals several times, hoping to get the approval of the Iho Society.

But reality gave him a harsh blow!

Not only did he receive no response to the several bridge construction proposals he submitted, but he also received a warning from the Iho Society.

Now, even those who agreed to fund him have been executed.

Should he just give up like this?

Dana was a little unwilling, and then he saw a few familiar figures running toward him in a panic.

"It's terrible. The Iho Society suddenly issued a ban, forbidding everyone from going to sea."

"Master Dazna, what should we do now?"

"They must be afraid that we will run away. Maybe someone will come to catch us soon!"

"If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have agreed initially. Life is improving daily. Why do we still have to build a bridge?"

"Exactly! Now, the Iho Society is angered. We are all going to die!" 

"Shut up!"

Dazna shouted at them, his neck turning red with the effort.

Only now do you realize our organization is a ferocious beast that devours people. What were you doing earlier?

Each of them was blinded by the wealth and promises offered by those people, constantly persuading him to join. Now, with our organization simply flexing its muscles and killing a few chickens, it has scared them to this extent.

Dazna suddenly felt disappointed in his 'pig teammates.'

Perhaps these people were skilled at bridge-building, but their vision could have been better than the average person's.

Greedy, hoping for flukes, and yet timid and afraid of trouble!

These people could not achieve great things.

Yet, without these people, it wouldn't work, for he couldn't build a cross-sea bridge alone; he needed many helpers.

So, after these people shut up, Dazna calmly asked, "The sea is off-limits? What reason did our organization give? Do you know how much loss it would cause to the country of Waves if the sea is banned even for one day? Just to catch a few of us country bumpkins? What's inside your heads, sand?"

Hearing Dazna's words, these few people finally snapped back to reality.

Yes, there was no need to make such a big fuss to catch them.

It was just that after seeing the execution, they felt guilty and afraid, so they were scared into this state.

"The reason our organization posted was because they heard someone say they were leeches on the nation's body, hindering the development of the country of Waves, enemies of the country, so out of grief, they sold all the ships and will no longer do the maritime business."

After saying this, everyone looked at each other, realizing the trouble had escalated!

This was genuinely flipping the table!

Building a cross-sea bridge couldn't be done in a day, and it would take at least a year or more.

During this time, were all people supposed to be self-sustaining?

Is that even possible?

Even Dazna was stunned by our organization's resolute reaction.

He thought our organization might try to delay the bridge-building to profit during this time.

As long as national stability can be maintained, even profiteering can be tolerated, considering everyone forsaking a part of the immediate benefits for the future.

After all, once the cross-sea bridge was completed, everyone wouldn't need to look at our organization's face.

But he never expected our organization to go to such extremes!

Do you want to build a bridge?

Said we were hindering the nation's development?

Fine, build it!

Whoever backs down is a coward!
