Chapter 1994However, Kazuo's change of expression merely lasted for a brief second. In the next heartbeat, he
chuckled helplessly.
“What do you need me to do for you, Mr. Chance? Just say the word. But I hope you'll keep your
promise and give me the antidote at the end of the day,” he asserted.
“Of course. So long as you obey me to the letter, I'll give you the antidote. Now, tell me about the
Watanabe family. I bumped into a girl named Yuri Watanabe today. She's the heiress of the Watanabe
family, yes?” Jared questioned.
“You bumped into Yuri?” Kazuo was momentarily taken aback. Then, he started narrating the history of
the Watanabe family.
The Watanabe family was a relatively prominent family in Jetroina, especially in Xendale. They
practically controlled the whole city, and even the authorities had to afford them some respect.
Otherwise, Kazuo would not be at their mercy despite being a delegate.
The Watanabes were proliferate and had many descendants, but the current head in control of the
entire household was Ryosuke Watanabe. He was also none other than Yuri's father.
novelbinIchiro, whom Jared had killed, was Asuka Watanabe's son. Asuka had three sons, and Ichiro was one
of them.
Ryosuke and Asuka were biological brothers, but there had been countless conflicts between them
both in the past as they fought for control over the Watanabe family. Right then, it was almost time for the transition of power and the reelection of the head of the
Watanabe family. As such, strife was already brewing within the Watanabe family though everything
appeared calm.
Besides, Ryosuke only had a daughter, Yuri. For that reason, it was uncertain whether he could still
retain control over the Watanabe family this time.
Sheer surprise flooded Jared after he had heard all that. I really didn't expect such a huge family to
have infighting instead of being indivisible!
“So, the one who ordered you to kill me was Asuka?” he queried.
Kazuo nodded in affirmation. “Yeah. As Ryosuke's daughter is studying in Chanaea, he would never
give the order to make enemies of Chanaea's authorities when doing so would endanger his daughter's
safety. He'd probably learned about the mess we kicked up in Chanaea and called Yuri back because
he was afraid that the authorities in Chanaea would harm her. That's why Yuri suddenly returned to the
country in a hurry this time.”
The man's elaboration reminded Jared of the phone call Yuri impatiently took on the plane.
Hmm, the caller was likely urging her to return to Jetroina as soon as possible. From the looks of this,
there are factions within the Watanabe family. If so, I no longer need to destroy the entire family. As
long as I eliminate Asuka and his line, no one will be picking trouble with me anymore. Perhaps I can
even use the conflict between Ryosuke and Asuka to instigate a fight between them. Then, I'll stand a
greater chance of finishing Asuka off! At that thought, he decided to get in touch with Yuri and feel Ryosuke out.
Subsequently, he threatened Kazuo.
“You'd best keep my arrival in Jetroina a secret, Kazuo. If I need your help, I'll naturally seek you out.
Remember this—don't think about playing tricks with me. Even if it's in Jetroina, your own territory, it'll
still be a piece of cake for me if I want to kill you.”
“No, I'll never try playing any tricks!”
Kazuo hastily shook his head profusely. He could sense that the man's aura had grown significantly
stronger than it was a few days ago.
Therefore, he would never dare to pull a fast one on Jared even if he were tempted to do so.
In his opinion, the latter's capabilities were too formidable that nothing was impossible for him.
Jared left Kazuo's house with Flaxseed, and the latter brought Jared to meet his long-time friend.
