Yahiko had already thought that he was going to die today. 6
The special operations teams had yet to arrive, his men could not hold on any longer, and he might be killed by the enemies at any time. 2
The driver and Hiroshi, who had no real combating skill, would very likely be killed by the ninjas as well.
At this moment, he desperately wanted to call his daughter in Kyoto. Kyoto was hundreds of kilometers away from here, Nanako must not know that he was i n a deep slump. He was hoping that if he made a quick phone call to her and heard her voice before dying, it could be considered a little comfort right before death. 2
However, just as he pulled out his phone and was about to call Nanako, Hiroshi urged, "Ito-san, if we don't run now, it will be too late!" 3
Yahiko growled in exasperation, "I've told you, we’ve got nowhere to go..." 1
Then, he said through his gritted teeth, "It must be Takahashi Machi's doing! That b*stard! Jerk! How dare he use such insidious attacks against me!"
Hiroshi hastily pointed out the window and blurted," Ito-san, forget about Takahashi Machi! If we run to both ends of the bridge, we will surely die! However, w
e can jump off from here!" 3
He then pointed to the guardrail outside the car and said excitedly, "Ito-san, the guardrail is right in front o f us if we open the door. We can jump over it right away!” 3
Blood drained from Yahiko’s face, and he blurted angrily, "Are you f*cking crazy?! This bridge is at least ten meters high! We will jump to our deaths!" 2
Hiroshi uttered in a serious tone, "Ito-san, you may not necessarily die at this height as long as you don't land on your head, face, or stomach. We still have a chance of survival if we jump now, but if we don't, we are certainly going to die!" 2
Yahiko swallowed and muttered, "No way. Even if the jump doesn’t kill me, my limbs or other body parts will break. We still can't escape from them!" 4
