Jordan agreed. “Yes, I also think that this woman’s eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Sister-in-law’s, but the shape of her face is different.”
Lauren added. “This woman is prettier than Sister-in-law!”
Jordan smiled. Lauren once again voiced Jordan’s thoughts.
That was indeed the case.
It was true that Yumi was a beauty, but she was not considered devastatingly beautiful. The most beautiful woman in Japan was Miyamoto Masaki’s wife.
Jordan and Lauren had the same thought.
Could this woman in the kimono be related to Yumi?
Could she be Yumi’s family member? Perhaps her mother?
They were like the celebrities Lisa Bonet and her daughter Zoë Kravitz. But in terms of beauty, the mother was much prettier than the daughter. Of course, this was when comparing both of them during their peak.
Shaun was shocked. “Jordan, who is your sister-in-law? Have you seen her parents? Is this woman your sister-in-law’s mother?”
Jordan said, “I’ve never seen Yumi’s parents. When Jesse got married, I wasn’t around. After that, I only saw Yumi around. I’ve never seen her mother. In terms of age, there is a probability that they are mother and daughter. However, many people in this world look alike. It is hard to say.”
Just like how many people felt that Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel looked very similar, the two of them were completely unrelated.
Initially, everyone was already interested in this Japanese woman who had suddenly appeared. Now that they knew that this woman might be Jordan’s sister-in-law’s mother, they became even more curious.
Everyone stared intently at the surveillance screen.
The Japanese woman looked very refined. She walked slowly to the entrance of the Handley residence.
The door of the house was jammed shut and would require a lot of effort to pry open. When Jordan called on the Handleys earlier, he was ignored. He wondered if the Handley family would open the door if this Japanese woman knocked on it.
But to Jordan’s surprise, the Japanese woman did not knock at all.
The wooden door of the Handley residence slowly opened!
But the Japanese woman was just standing there with a cat in her arms. She didn’t move a finger!
“F*ck! This Japanese woman knows spells too!”
Shaun was stunned. He clearly remembered the method to open that door. When he was very young, he would have to use a stick to gradually pry open the door.
But this woman didn’t even use anything to open it.
Jordan, Lauren and Rong Huangde were all shocked.
Such a beautiful woman was actually from the Handley family?
“This woman is the same as the Handley family? Shaun, I didn’t expect your family to have connections with the Japanese.”
Rong Huangde was very surprised. This was information that he had not obtained the previous few times.
Shaun looked embarrassed as he thought to himself: ‘F*ck, did my family learn our spells from this Japanese woman? Is my family not all-American?’
Jordan was so patriotic. If Shaun was related to the Japanese, Jordan might not want to be his partner anymore. After all, some people still remembered the attack on Pearl Harbor.
After the door opened, the Japanese woman slowly walked in.
Jordan found it strange. With Harvey and Terrence’s powers, it was impossible for them not to know that a stranger had visited.
Why didn’t any of them come out?
The courtyard was silent. Only a few black cats ran out and faced the Japanese woman with fierce expressions. However, these little black cats could not scare off this beautiful woman at all.
“Sakura, go and play with them.”
The woman caressed the white cat and let it jump to the ground.
The white cat called Sakura looked cute, but it was extremely powerful. It immediately rushed towards the black cats!
“Meow!”
The black cats seemed to be very afraid of this white cat. They all fled in panic, while the white cat quickly chased after them.
“Heh, you lowly strays. How dare you block my path.”
The Japanese woman laughed disdainfully and walked towards the main room.
At this moment, in order to see and eavesdrop on their conversation, Shaun had changed the drone to a mini surveillance device to avoid detection. Although the view of this device was not as wide, they could still hear all conversations clearly.
“Don’t tell me she will speak Japanese? My parents don’t speak Japanese,” Shaun commented.
After the Japanese woman walked in, Harvey and his family, Finn and a thin and stiff-looking man were all in the room. They seemed to have known that the Japanese woman was coming and had been waiting for her.
The Japanese woman walked in and started to speak in English. “Terrence, Harvey, I’m here again.”
The Japanese woman’s English was not very good, and her pronunciation was a little strained.
The Japanese woman found a seat and sat down. She seemed to be very familiar with this place as she continued.
“Have you considered it? Do you want to tell me your Handley family’s secret?”
Jordan and the other three were shocked!
This Japanese woman was actually here to pry into the Handley family’s secrets like them!
Rong Huangde looked shocked and terrified. “Someone has been searching for the Handley family’s secret for so many years before me… and it’s a Japanese woman. Who is she?!”
Thinking about it, this was 1978. If this Japanese woman persevered and really learned the Handley family’s secret…
By 2022, she might still be alive. Even if she died, she would still have descendants. If they inherited this huge secret, they would probably become a huge threat to the Rong family in the future!
Although the skeleton-like Terrence was rather skinny, his voice was very deep. “Ms. Uehara, we don’t have any bad blood with your Nine Chrysanthemum Faction. We never even had much interaction. Your strength and cultivation have always far exceeded ours. Why do you have to make things difficult for us poor farmers?”
“The Nine Chrysanthemum Faction!”
Shaun and the other three were shocked to hear this name!
This Japanese woman was actually from the Nine Chrysanthemum Faction!
Lauren didn’t understand and asked, “What’s the Nine Chrysanthemum Faction?”
Jordan said, “I’m not sure either. I’ve only heard that it’s a sect in Japan. They know very strange spells, similar to the Handley family’s.”
Shaun had some knowledge of the Nine Chrysanthemum Faction, but it was only limited to rumors. He had never seen anyone from the Nine Chrysanthemum Faction. But Rong Huangde had a deeper understanding about the Nine Chrysanthemum Faction.
“Over a thousand years ago somewhere in the US, a mysterious man named Manuel cultivated many ancient secret techniques. After he mastered them, he gathered the essence of all those secret techniques and took in disciples. He established a sect called the Nine Chrysanthemum Divine Cult.” One of Manuel’s disciples, Natsuke Tsuda from Japan, splintered off from the main cult to form the Nine Chrysanthemum Faction.
“He combined it with a branch of Japanese Buddhism, and it became what it is today.”
