Chapter 5353
While Harvey and Watson were talking about the Tsuchimikado family…
On a highway around the city, a Toyota Alphard was slowly cruising forward. Yamato took a sip of his sake, his eyes bloodshot.
In front of him, Ayaka was sitting upright with an apologetic look on her face.
“It was my fault that I didn’t arrange things properly, Young Master Yamato … Please, do whatever you want with me!”
Yamato looked deeply into Ayaka’s eyes before chuckling wretchedly.
“You didn’t arrange things properly? I think it’s the exact opposite, right? You know I love dominating young ladies from Country H, so you arranged for Arlet to see me, didn’t you?
“You wanted me to have a sour relationship with Arlet and the people behind her. Am I wrong?”
Ayaka trembled in fear. She nodded, her face pale.
Yamato raised her chin with a faint smile.
“Not bad! As expected from an Islander. At least you can admit to the things you did.
“Arlet is indeed my type. I couldn’t get my hands on her, but I’m still deeply interested. That’s why I decided against punishing you.
“That said…”
Yamato put more force on his hand, as if he was going to crush Ayaka’s face.
“You better tell me what you’re planning to do next time.
“My brother will get angry for the embarrassment you caused to the Tsuchimikado family. It’d be a dire consequence for you to bear…”
Ayaka kept nodding, feeling nothing but fear.
Yamato burst out laughing. He looked behind him, a hint of resentment in his eyes.

After having a chat with Watson, Harvey sent Arlet back to the Pagan family. Since Arlet kept pestering Harvey, he had no choice but to have a midnight snack with her.
He then went back to Fortune Hall after that. He sent George a text, telling him to give him more information. about the Tsuchimikado family recently.
On the other hand, he wanted to check in on the Council of Myth as well. After all, the situation became more complicated after he came back to Golden Sands. Any other person would’ve been overly-cautious after being met with such a mess.
The following afternoon, George’s information finally came through.
Harvey understood more about Ibuki after taking a closer look at the documents.
In actuality, Ibuki’s story was pretty cliche.
His status in the Masato family was on par of that of a prince. After his father died, his uncle took charge for fifteen whole years when he was supposed to be supporting him.
Having plotted his revenge during the entire time, Ibuki killed his uncle in a flash.
It was an exciting story with a twisted process. It would be an understatement to say that Ibuki had a strong comeback. In any case, he was a truly strong and ruthless man.
After his rise to power, he came all the way to Golden Sands with the sole purpose of maintaining the Islanders’ interests in the city. This meant he was surely supported by the royal family.
It was only natural; for the Island Nations’ royal family, the older ones weren’t as useful compared to the younger generation.
After all, the younger generation would be the most capable of serving their emperor.
Footsteps were heard when Harvey was halfway into reading the documents.
Prince could be seen heading inside, along with a group of people. He waved for his people to leave before quickly approaching Harvey.
