Chapter 707 Steal The Leadership From Him

Day Seventy-Five...

~~*****~~

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.

"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.
