Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 734

Chapter 734 Tricked 

Meanwhile, at Sakura Club, Alex received a notification on his phone about the transfer of ten billion into his account. A sly smile crept across his face as he thought about the successful execution of his cunning plan. He checked the time and figured it was about time Takeshi realized what had happened. 

“Now that the ten billion has been transferred to me, I’ll write off any debts between us. You can choose to stay or leave, though I’d advise you to stay. Don’t go back to Jetroina,” Alex said, sounding carnest and 

sincere. 

Haruko rolled her eyes and did not seem to take heed of what he said. She snorted coldly. “Since the money is in your hands, untie me now!” 

Alex shrugged and decided to speak no more. He had done his part by giving her his advice. He instructed his men to untie Haruko. 

Once untied, Haruko loosened her muscles and, casting an angry glance at Alex, started to make her way out of the club. 

When she walked past Flynn, she gave him a tight slap on his face before darting out the door and disappearing into the crowd. 

Flynn was dumbfounded Caressing his face which was still stinging from the slap, he lashed out angrily, “This Jetroinian bitch sure holds a grudge! Don’t let me run into you again.” 

After that, he looked pitifully at Alex and said, “Alex! Your brother was slapped by a Jetroinian bitch. You have to avenge me!” 

Alex tried to stifle a snigger as he said, “Rest assured, Haruko will never see a good day again.” 

After leaving the club, Haruko hailed a taxi and intended to make her way to the airport and fly back to Jetroina. 

En route, she tried to call Takeshi on the phone many times, but he never answered. She assumed that he must have presented the divine pill to Yama which in turn cured him of his paralysis. She thought that he probably missed her calls because he was busy being congratulated by everyone in the family. 

She, too, could not help feeling elated. They had pulled off their mission at Eurasia successfully and brought back the divine pill. It was finally time for this humble branch of the Tokugawa family to shine. 

On her way to Takeshi’s home after touching down in Jetroina, Haruko’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from one of Takeshi’s subordinates. “Ms. Haruko, please do not return to Jetroina. The Tokugawa family has given orders for you to be arrested. Mr. Takeshi has been imprisoned in the family dungeon.” 

There was a great sense of urgency in the man’s voice as Haruko listened in confusion. She could not figure out what had happened. 

Nevertheless, she instructed the taxi driver to stop the car so she could continue the conversation in a secure location. She was consumed with rage when she found out what had happened. 

She gripped her phone so tightly it was almost bent out of shape. She smashed it onto the ground and hissed through gritted teeth, “Damn you, Alex! Just you wait!” 

Meanwhile, at the Leighton residence, the lights were still on even though it was past two o’clock in the morning. 

Yates was seated on a chair and flipping through a book with furrowed brows. The entire surface of his study table was covered with medical books.
