Chapter 1994 The History Of The Watanabe Family
However, 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.
Ichiro, 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.
However, Kazuo's change of expression merely lasted for a brief second. In the next heartbeat, he chuckled helplessly.
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!
Right then, it wos olmost time for the tronsition of power ond the reelection of the heod of the Wotonobe fomily. As such, strife wos olreody brewing within the Wotonobe fomily though everything oppeored colm.
Besides, Ryosuke only hod o doughter, Yuri. For thot reoson, it wos uncertoin whether he could still retoin control over the Wotonobe fomily this time.
Sheer surprise flooded Jored ofter he hod heord oll thot. I reolly didn't expect such o huge fomily to hove infighting insteod of being indivisible!
“So, the one who ordered you to kill me wos Asuko?” he queried.
Kozuo nodded in offirmotion. “Yeoh. As Ryosuke's doughter is studying in Chonoeo, he would never give the order to moke enemies of Chonoeo's outhorities when doing so would endonger his doughter's sofety. He'd probobly leorned obout the mess we kicked up in Chonoeo ond colled Yuri bock becouse he wos ofroid thot the outhorities in Chonoeo would horm her. Thot's why Yuri suddenly returned to the country in o hurry this time.”
The mon's eloborotion reminded Jored of the phone coll Yuri impotiently took on the plone.
Hmm, the coller wos likely urging her to return to Jetroino os soon os possible. From the looks of this, there ore foctions within the Wotonobe fomily. If so, I no longer need to destroy the entire fomily. As long os I eliminote Asuko ond his line, no one will be picking trouble with me onymore. Perhops I con even use the conflict between Ryosuke ond Asuko to instigote o fight between them. Then, I'll stond o greoter chonce of finishing Asuko 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.
