Chapter 136: Yoshida family arrives

Tonight, he had decided to publicly confess his feelings to Takeshiba Aika, and propose to her for engagement on this happy occasion.

He had no doubts that she would accept his proposal and become his lady because in his mind he was the one and only perfect man for her.

After all, he, Shiba Yahiko was the most charming, educated, and intelligent Young Master out there coming from the big families.

He was comparing himself only to the other scions of the big families because until now there were no cases of their offspring marrying outside the circle.

He was clearly in for a big surprise later in the evening, but for now, he was feeling really emotional, and his heart was beating fast, soon he would be proposing to the lady of his dreams.

With the arrival of the Shiba's, three of the big families were inside the venue, and the crowd was waiting for the arrival of the last two, which were also the organizers.

Of course, to attract the necessary attention and show the worth of their face, they would intentionally get there a bit late.

In the meantime, there were a few more faces that attracted attention besides the big families, and one of them was the new lone inheritor of the Miura family, Daichi Miura.

After the tragedy of losing his own father, Daichi Miura seemed to have grown up a little bit, as he was accompanied here by the Ito sisters and Master Ito.

They looked to be talking seriously to each other, as the two ladies were a bit uncomfortable with his presence, leaving aside Ito Akiha, even his fiancé Ito Yui seemed uncomfortable with him there.

This was a good source of rumors, and small talk between the guest, as each and every one of them was vying for the extreme wealth that Master Miura left behind.

But he wasn't the only 2nd rate star of the evening as there were a lot of ladies from the 2nd rate families that caught the attention of the crowd.

Especially a few of them were really beautiful and charming and had made the crowd follow each of their movements with clear lust in their eyes.

A few of them were even able to enter the top 5 fairies list, which had started to circulate in the meantime.

This list clearly contained the top 5 most beautiful ladies in the party, where it was considered, their look, outfit, curves, and sensuality.

The compiler of the list and its attributes was unknown, but the fact that he seemed to be really objective in his thoughts really caught the attention of everyone at the venue.

As for the Young Masters from the 2nd rate families that might be able to enter the top 5 charming list, besides Daichi Miura, one could only count on Kisaki Haoru.

This guy was a business genius and was the sole heir of the Kisaki family. Even though he was at a considerably young age, he was being mentioned as the next head of the family.

Through his works, and efforts the Kisaki family had become one of the biggest pretenders to become a big family in Japan, but lately, he had been facing a lot of troubles.

In first view foreign associates were cutting ties with him, but he had understood that the initiators behind these troubles were the big families.

Amidst all the big families, and their Master, he idolized Takeshiba Tomiyasu as this guy was a true sly fox, and really great businessman, as he had turned into the biggest pillar of the economy in Japan.

Tonight, he had come here with a plan, he wanted to cut a deal with Master Takeshiba, a deal that would change the structure inside the country, one which Master Takeshiba wouldn't be able to refuse.

He was ready to become the sharpest weapon that Master Takeshiba had, and destroy all the other big families, as long as they were the only two left.

In order to make this happen, and also secure their relationship he was even ready to marry Takeshiba Aika, and become part of the Takeshiba family.

He was a practical guy, and what he wanted was power. He was intoxicated by power, and as he saw it, his Kisaki family had come to the limits, he couldn't go beyond where he was.

For that reason, he was able to forego his surname and seek a wider, and longer path in front of him. Not that he minded marrying the beauty Takeshiba Aika.

While the crowd was chatting, gossiping, and enjoying the atmosphere created, a signal was heard from the entrance and everyone turned their head towards the entrance.

It was the Yoshida family, or to be more precise it was the family head of the Yoshida family, and his wife Yuuto Hina.

Their daughter, Yoshida Gina, wasn't with them as she was getting ready for the ceremony of engagement.

The old man, Yoshida Gina's father, and the head of the Yoshida family looked really sick, and tired like he was walking with a foot on the grave, and he was here just because it was his daughter's moment.

There were a lot of complimentary words from the crowd, they made him a reincarnation of the fatherly love, and the parental pity.

In their eyes, he seemed to have gotten out of his coffin just to watch his daughters' moment of getting engaged to number 1 prince charming.

While talking like this, the crowd didn't forget even the beautiful lady by his side, which was his wife, Yuuto Hina.

Even though she still looked stunning, there were clearly a few signs of aging in her beautiful face, and she couldn't be blamed.

The fact that the husband she had loved and married was dying by her side unable to do anything must be really taxing on her.

The love story between them was perhaps one of the unique and true love and marriage stories in history.

They had fallen in love without really knowing each other, and later had married through their wish, as they truly had a love marriage.

Everywhere they went they were both stunning, and shining, as their love and happiness seemed like a fairy tale story in reality.

But their happy ending didn't continue for long, like troubles, and misfortune events started hitting their lives, family, companies, and names.

At the moment, the Yoshida family was on its lowest point, as it was on the verge of destruction, and the Yoshida family head was sick, and a foot on the grave.

Everyone knew that tonight most probably Takeshiba Yuto would leave his family, to become the next head of the Yoshida family through this engagement and wedding.

The Yoshida family would officially pass on the hands of the Takeshiba family from now on, and everyone could feel a new wind blowing.

It wasn't that the Yoshida family had no other choices for the family head, as there were his brother's sons, but surprisingly the Yoshida family head had decided on this option.

Clearly, the public was surprised and confused by this decision of his, but none could question him, and he didn't provide an explanation either.

The dissatisfied people were already planning to take over everything once he died, but at the moment they were still lying low.

Gathering more strength and power, while saying to respect the last moments of the Yoshida family head. One thing was for sure though, as long as he was alive, no one dared to vie for his place.

But with the arrival of the Yoshida family, it was finally the turn for the Takeshiba family to appear, and it was precisely Takeshiba Tomiyasu, who came personally to receive them.

These people were his in-laws today, and he had to do his part as the father of the groom. Of course, his appearance clearly once again fired up the discussions and the gossip of the party.

Everyone started talking about his dress, his walk, his nature, and every other related and unrelated thing with him.

A few of them were hoping that he would be able to hear their praises and enter his good books, some were praising genuinely, and some were just throwing empty words.

But he wasn't the only one to grab the attention of the crowd, as beside him his wife was beautiful, and stunning like she always was.

Behind them follow their two sons and their gorgeous wives. Even though they had been married for a while they still had no children.

While they looked sparkling in the eyes of the crowd, there was a little hue of conflicted feelings in their eyes.

They seemed to have received a piece of really big news, that they had never thought it would come. Each and every one of them was shocked on his own right.

The only natural and normal-looking person amidst them was Master Takeshiba Tomiyasu himself. He approached his friend with a cheerful, and happy face as he said,

"Welcome to my humble house Old friend, brother, from tonight our wish of being one family will finally become a reality!"

People weren't able to understand if he was just pretending or truly being that happy, as he embraced Master Yoshida and even kissed him on his cheeks.

Master Yoshida seemed really weak, but he still didn't disappoint his friend and brother as he bear-hugged him back, as he said,

"Finally, my brother!"

If one didn't know what was going on, they would think these two men were two high school girls meeting each other, or they had some kind of special relationship.

But everything the crowd could think was how rare that friendship looked in the reality of the world these days.

Steeping back down from each other for a moment, Master Yoshida noticed the faces of the Takeshiba family members, as he asked in a serious tone,

"Is there something wrong brother!?"

Master Takeshiba understood his meaning, as he laughed out loud, and said in a cheerful voice,

"Hahaha~! Nothing is wrong old friend, just a big surprise I planned!"
