Chapter 707 Steal The Leadership From Him
Chapter 707 Steal The Leadership From Him
Mr. Hiroshi rose from his seat, still holding Alexander\'s tablet. His eyes were filled with conflicting emotions, betraying the turmoil within as he tried to come to terms with the shocking information.
He closed his eyes briefly, attempting to gather his thoughts and find solace amidst the chaos. He took a deep breath before opening his eyes again. He cast a long, somber look at Alexander, his expression a mix of disbelief, disappointment, and a hint of anguish.
Without uttering a word, Mr. Hiroshi turned to leave the rooftop, his steps steady yet laden with an indescribable heaviness. He didn\'t look back, his mind consumed with the need to make sense of the unimaginable revelation about his daughter, Jane, and Nathan.
Kazuki could only follow his clan leader. The door closed behind them with a soft click, leaving the rooftop in a silence that mirrored the turmoil in their hearts. The bodyguards were puzzled because the two men were so quiet as they left the rooftop. Kazuki just motioned for the bodyguards to follow them and continue escorting Mr. Hiroshi.
"Master, where do you want to go?" Kazuki consulted his clan leader.
"I want to see Alyssa right now." Mr. Hiroshi promptly responded. He wanted to seek solace in front of Alyssa\'s tomb. When his mind was in turmoil, he always wanted to be with Alyssa.
Kazuki understood Mr. Hiroshi\'s feelings. He maneuvered the car, heading to the cemetery. It did not take long before they reached the place. Kazuki informed the bodyguards to stand by. Mr. Hiroshi didn\'t want to be interrupted when visiting his late wife. Furthermore, he just wanted to be alone.
Mr. Hiroshi found his way to Alyssa\'s tomb. He stood there with mixed emotions. "I\'m sorry, Honey. I failed to bring flowers for you. I went here without thinking." He leaned over, touching Alyssa\'s tomb as if he was caressing her face.
"Honey… I don\'t know what to do right now. I don\'t want to be a hindrance to our daughter\'s happiness. However, I can\'t allow her to be with a guy who hurt her. This is for her own sake… Please tell me… if I\'m right." Mr. Hiorshi was still confused about his feelings. He couldn\'t decide what he would do next.
"My heart is aching… I couldn\'t imagine the suffering she had felt under Nathan\'s hands. That is something I can never forgive. I hope she will understand my decision…" Mr. Hiroshi started to understand what Old Master Yan had felt before. He just did what he must do to protect Alyssa because the old man thought Mr. Hiroshi didn\'t deserve her and she would be in danger if she stayed on his side.
"I should have protected her. I also failed her as her father… Our precious Jane… suffered miserably when she was alone. She lived as an assassin. Her life became a mess ever since she got separated from us. This is my fault." Mr. Hiroshi started blaming himself, tears flowing down his face.
"I… I want her to have a happy life… but her childhood was filled with hardship and darkness." Mr. Hiroshi clutched his chest. It pained him to think about what hardships Jane had undergone during her childhood years.
"What if… Jane\'s feelings for Nathan are not real. She might have developed Stockholm syndrome… The more I think about it, the more I want to separate the two of them. Our daughter can\'t be together with Nathan." Mr. Hiroshi finally made up his mind. This decision weighed heavily on him but he had to do it for Jane\'s sake.
After confiding his feelings with his late wife, Alyssa, Mr. Hiroshi left the cemetery with a strong conviction in mind. He must take a move now.
lightsnοvεl Feeling determined, Mr. Hiroshi went back to Hiroshi\'s villa together with Kazuki and the bodyguards. He headed to his study room. The moment he settled down inside, Mr. Hiroshi summoned Kazuki and Hanabi.
Hanabi felt the heavy atmosphere surrounding the study. "Uncle, what\'s wrong with our Godfather?" she whispered, asking Kazuki.
"You will know. Just stay quiet and wait for our master to speak up. He will explain to you," Kazuki responded in a low voice.
When Mr. Hiroshi raised his head, glancing at them, the two immediately kept their mouth shut.
"Where is Tatsumi?" Mr. Hiroshi asked them in his stern cold voice.
Kazuki bit his lower lip as he felt like he was in trouble because of his naughty son. Tatsumi was supposed to be with them. But he was nowhere. He went abroad once again.
To save Kazuki from trouble, Hanabi was the one who answered Mr. Hiroshi\'s query. "Lady Jane sent Tatsumi to Country R for a request."
At the mention of Jane\'s name, Mr. Hiroshi didn\'t further question why Tatsumi went there.
"I summon you here because I have an important announcement to make. Please listen to me carefully." Mr. Hiroshi paused for a moment, darting his gaze back and forth between Hanabi and Kazuki.
Hanabi and Kazuki exchanged glances with one another before shifting their eyes back to Mr. Hiroshi. They were anticipating his announcement.
"Tell Tatsumi to come back here. I will announce his engagement with my daughter, Jane." Mr. Hiroshi declared, leaving Hanabi and Kazuki speechless.
The shock lingered, leaving an unsettling air of uncertainty and disbelief. Their thoughts raced, trying to comprehend the truth behind Mr. Hiroshi\'s words. Was he serious?
"Uncle… I mean… Godfather… are you serious about this?" Hanabi finally found her voice back. "Lady Jane… my sister… she\'s in love with Nathan Sparks, not Tatsumi."
Mr. Hiroshi\'s expression turned colder and darker at the mention of Nathan\'s name. "I know. That\'s why I\'m doing this. I have to separate them from each other. I must make my daughter realize that she deserves someone better… a guy who will protect her with his life. A guy who will serve him as a princess… a guy who won\'t hurt her at all. And that guy… is none other than… Tatsumi."
Hanabi didn\'t know how she would react upon hearing this. Meanwhile, Kazuki was still in shock. He had been pairing his son with Jane. And finally, his clan leader chose his son to be Jane\'s husband. He should rejoice about it. However, part of him felt like something was not right.
\'Is my master going to force his daughter to marry another guy? How will Lady Jane react to this?\' Kazuki was worried about Jane\'s feelings.
"Master… you know Sister Jane\'s attitude. She will definitely defy you and fight her love for Nathan." Hanabi expressed her concern. She was also against Nathan. But she chose to respect Jane\'s decision. She loved him.
"You don\'t have to worry about that. I will convince my daughter," Mr. Hiroshi said with finality. No one could change his mind at this moment. All he could think of was to separate Jane from Nathan.
"Master, are we going to break our alliance with the Syphiruz Mafia?" Kazuki asked Mr. Hiroshi, trying to change the subject.
"No. I will not break our alliance. But I plan on making the Syphiruz Mafia work under me as their new leader. I\'ll steal the leadership from Nathan Sparks." There was a hint of resentment in his voice.
Kazuki: "..."
Hanabi: "..."
\'Oh my god. What is going on here?\' Hanabi was still confused by this turn of events.
