The author is really not being subtle about the foreshadowing with Moubu especially when he has not revealed any of the details of the latter's relationship with Shouheikun yet. I still regret reading this particular historical spoiler on Wikipedia but hopefully the execution will be emotionally impactful nonetheless.
This chapter was amazing, but also heartbreaking. In a perfect world, they could all join forces against Chu, it would allow Man’U to get his revenge. But things rarely go they way we want huh.
