Chapter 708 Stop Them From Seeing Each Other
"With all due respect, Master… may I know the reason why you are doing this?" Hanabi needed to hear the reason because she was torn between Mr. Hiroshi\'s command and Jane\'s decision.
Kazuki took a deep breath, a look of disappointment evident on his face. Meanwhile, Mr. Hiroshi clenched his fists before he shared the information with Hanabi.
"Hanabi, I hope you can keep this because I want to protect my daughter. And as long as she doesn\'t want to share her secret, I will not force her. I am going to wait until she is ready to tell me everything…" Mr. Hiroshi started, glancing at Hanabi meaningfully.
Hanabi, on the other hand, could feel the heavy tension inside the study room. It has been so long since the last time she saw their clan leader looking so serious and angry like this.
"Jane is also known as Phantomflake. She was raised to become an assassin." Mr. Hiroshi revealed Jane\'s other identity. But to their surprise, Hanabi didn\'t even flinch when she heard this. She just blinked her eyes as she bit her lower lip.
\'Oh Damn! They found out Sis Jane\'s Identity.\' Hanabi thought to herself.
Meanwhile, Kazuki watched Hanabi suspiciously. "Are you not surprised? Don\'t tell me… you already know this?"
Mr. Hiroshi\'s eyebrows furrowed in a deep frown. He gave Hanabi a questioning look.
"Yes… Sis Jane told me the truth about her other identity. Tatsumi is also aware of this," Hanabi confessed to the two old men. She couldn\'t lie to them especially now that this seemed to be a serious matter.
"How about you, Uncle Kazuki… Master…? How did you learn the truth?" Hanabi threw the question back to them.
"It\'s the Dragon Lord of the Red Dragon Mafia. He is the one who revealed the truth. Furthermore, he also informed us about the conflict between the Phantom Assassin Guild and the Syphiruz Mafia. Your Sis Jane… our Lady Jane suffered a lot because of Nathan Sparks and his organization. Now, do you understand why our Clan Leader decided to do this?" Kazuki spoke spontaneously. He couldn\'t stop himself from releasing all this information at once.
Hanabi was at a loss for words. However, there was no hint of surprise in her expression. She already knew the story between Jane and Nathan.
Seeing her expression, Mr. Hiroshi became suspicious of her once again. "Hanabi, did you know about this? Did my daughter share this with you?"
Hanabi looked away as she bowed her head. She felt guilty for hiding this truth from their clan leader. "I\'m sorry, Master. I didn\'t tell you this. I promise Sis Jane to keep this a secret."
Mr. Hiroshi was disappointed when he heard that. He somehow felt upset and jealous. His own daughter chose to hide this from him.
Mr. Hiroshi\'s voice quivered with an undertone of anguish. "Why? Does my daughter have no trust in me?" The pain in his words reverberated through the air, a deep hurt etched across his face. The mere thought that his own daughter harbored such mistrust struck at the core of his being.
"No, Master! Don\'t misunderstand. She just didn\'t want you to hate Nathan. Besides, she already expected that you would act like this once you learned the truth." Hanabi tried to defend and justify Jane\'s action.
"How could she fall in love with the person who hurt her over and over again? Nathan made her suffer!" Mr. Hiroshi raised his voice as he questioned Hanabi.
"And how can you let her be with a man like Nathan Sparks?" Kazuki butted in, asking Hanabi in disbelief.
Hanabi heaved a deep sigh. She felt like she was in a hot seat, being interrogated by two powerful men.
"I swear… I tried to stop her. But… she loves Nathan Sparks. And I respect her decision. Master… Uncle Kazuki… I suggest… it\'s best for everyone to talk this out. You have to discuss this with Jane first." Hanabi could no longer bear the pressure so she proposed a suggestion that these men should talk to Jane.
"I believe… my sister has her reason for choosing Nathan, despite their history. There might have been a misunderstanding before and they are able to fix this," she added.
Mr. Hiroshi rubbed his temples. He felt a throbbing headache just thinking about this. "Misunderstanding or not… I can\'t forgive Nathan. Jane almost died because of him. Furthermore, Nathan had feelings for Abigail, my youngest daughter. I also witnessed how Abigail cried because of Nathan before. I don\'t want him to be involved with my two daughters. This isn\'t right at all. I have enough!"
"My daughter can choose any man she likes, except Nathan Sparks." Mr. Hiroshi declared with finality in his tone.
Both Kazuki and Hanabi were rendered speechless. They knew that no words could change Mr. Hiroshi\'s mind. He already made a decision. This old man was as stubborn as Jane.
"One more thing… Hanabi… don\'t you ever tell this to my daughter, Jane. I am the one who will talk to her regarding the engagement." Mr. Hiroshi warned Hanabi with a threat in his tone. Hanabi couldn\'t defy him.
"I understand, Master," Hanabi responded anxiously.
"Ahmm… Master, permission to talk," Kazuki raised his hand.
Mr. Hiroshi just nodded his head as his go signal.
"What do you plan to do with the Red Dragon Mafia? Will you consider forming an alliance with the Dragon Lord?" Kazuki asked him curiously. He needed to know his plan. Kazuki received a message from the Dragon Lord. He was sending their two comrades back.
"Red Dragon Mafia?" Mr. Hiroshi paused for a moment, rubbing his chin. "I must admit that he won today. He managed to stir a conflict between Nathan and me. I know their goal. They deliberately revealed this truth to me so that I would break the alliance with the Syphiruz because he wanted me to acknowledge the Red Dragon Mafia."
"I won\'t let him use me as a tool. I won\'t form any alliance with them. He dares use my daughter to provoke me. Whoever uses my daughters for their own benefits will never be my ally."
Kazuki and Hanabi were both satisfied when they heard that from their Clan Leader. Mr. Hiroshi had a point. The Red Dragon Mafia took advantage of Jane\'s situation to instigate discord between the Sawada Clan and the Syphiruz Mafia.
The motive was crystal clear– an orchestrated attempt to provoke animosity, heighten tensions, and create chaos within the clan and its ally. Their enemies had exploited Jane\'s vulnerable situation, utilizing it as a catalyst for their own nefarious agenda.
"Master! I\'ll support you on that!" Hanabi blurted out cheerfully.
"Me too!" Kazuki also expressed his support.
"Alright. We still have a lot of things to do. For my one last command… listen to me carefully." Mr. Hiroshi had additional command for both of them.
"What is it, Master?" Both of them spoke in unison.
"Don\'t let Nathan Spark get near Jane for now. I don\'t want to see him together with my daughter. Stop them from seeing each other. Understand?"
"Copy, Master!" Kazuki responded.
Hanabi just nodded her head in response. \'Oh my. I don\'t think this will be an easy task. I can stop Nathan but how can I stop my Sis Jane from seeing Nathan? Am I courting death?\'
