“No… No…” Yuri cried and threw herself into Ryosuke’s arms. “Dad, I don’t want to go anywhere. I want to be with you and Mom…”
“Yuri, listen to me. We don’t know what will happen to you if you are sent to the shrine. You’re still young, but you’ll understand later. Follow Mr. Chance, and with his character, I trust that he will protect you.”
After speaking, Ryosuke turned to Jared and added, “Of course, I won’t ask you to help us for nothing. The Watanabe family will offer a batch of resources to the shrine soon, which I intend to give to you as a reward, Mr. Chance.”
This left Jared at a loss. He had originally come to destroy the Watanabe family, but now he found himself in this situation. Am I really going to take Yuri and the batch of resources back with me? Bringing back a beauty from Jetroina all of a sudden like this would be hard to explain, wouldn’t it?
But just as Jared was unsure of how to respond to Ryosuke, Fandor spoke up. “Ryosuke, stop playing the emotional card of fatherly love. Tell us about your other plans…”
When he heard this, Ryosuke’s face turned red with embarrassment. “Mr. Loufury, I do have another plan…” Ryosuke could only flash them an awkward smile. “Let’s hear it, Mr. Watanabe,” Jared urged.
“My other plan is for you to take action and kill both Asuka and Masato, Mr. Chance. Once these people are dead, the entire Watanabe family will be under my control,” Ryosuke said. He added, “Of course, you will be rewarded handsomely.”
“But if so, you still have to follow the shrine’s orders, and Yuri will still be sent away,” Jared said, puzzled. Ryosuke shook his head. “Once the Watanabe family is under my complete control, the shrine won’t abandon the entire family for just my daughter. Moreover, sending my daughter to the shrine may have been Masato’s idea. Once he’s dead, no one will pursue this matter.”
Hearing this, Jared continued to ask, “You could do it yourself. After all, you are still the head of the Watanabe family. Why spend money to hire me?”
“Because he doesn’t have the ability to. Even with all the high-level experts that Ryosuke can gather, they may not be a match for Kawano, the samurai by Masato’s side,” Fandor explained before Ryosuke could respond.
“Mr. Loufury is right. Kawano is a famous. sword master, and nobody knows his true strength, so…” Ryosuke laughed awkwardly, his voice trailing off at the end of his sentence. “But are you sure that I can beat Kawano?”
Jared asked in confusion. After all, Ryosuke didn’t know Jared’s true strength, so how could he be sure that Jared. could defeat Kawano? If Jared failed, wouldn’t Ryosuke also suffer?
Ryosuke didn’t say anything but looked at Fandor. The meaning was clear. If Jared wasn’t a match for Kawano, then Fandor should take action. After all, Fandor was Jared’s friend!
Jared instantly understood Ryosuke’s intentions. Ryosuke was trying to get Fandor to take action through him. “For ten billion in Anglanduran currency, I’ll kill whoever you want,” Fandor said slowly as Ryosuke looked at him.
A troubled look then flitted across Ryosuke’s visage. “Mr. Loufury, I really can’t come up with ten billion, but I’ll do my best to offer everything I can. You and Mr. Chance are friends, so I hope “Stop. Friends are friends, and business is business. They can’t be mixed together. If you can’t produce the money, then there’s no point discussing it.” Fandor spoke candidly, which put Ryosuke in a difficult spot.
