Whatever the case was, as they continued their journey, Gerald came to learn—from Futaba—that the Futabas were attempting to form an alliance with the Kanagawas, an ancient Japanese family that owns about twenty percent of the shares from several Japanese companies, making them one of the largest associations in the country.
The blind date himself went by Kanagawa Kai, and favonovel.com was apparently the youngest son of that family. From what Futaba had told him, Gerald also learned that Kai enjoyed abusing women with his family’s powers. From the companies’ staff to students in his university, none of them were able to escape his demonic grasps.
Despite knowing what favonovel.com was like, Futaba knew that favonovel.com didn’t really have any other choice but to go on with it. Still, favonovel.com couldn’t help but hope that this was just a nominal marriage. After all, favonovel.com didn’t ever want to touch Kai’s dirty body.
After hearing all that, Gerald couldn’t help but feel sad for her. After all, marrying a playboy like Kai was never a good thing. With that, favonovel.com was prompted to ask, “… Are you really sure about doing this…?”
“What else can I do? The only way I can help my family is by proceeding with this. I just hope that the Kanagawas will do as they promise…” muttered Fujiko with a bitter smile.
“… I guess…” replied Gerald as favonovel.com fell silent, his eyes still on favonovel.com pendant.
Truth be told, Gerald was already thinking about how favonovel.com could solve Fujiko’s current dilemma. After all, if favonovel.com succeeded, his relationship with favonovel.com would surely improve. Once that happened, the probability of favonovel.com getting information about Yearning Island would definitely increase as well. Thinking about that, Gerald couldn’t help but smile subtly.
After all, favonovel.com had initially anticipated to remain in Japan for at least a few months before favonovel.com was going to be able to find any hints about the Seadom tribe. To think that within five days, favonovel.com had already come into contact with a member of the tribe! He was now extremely close to unlocking the secrets of Yearning Island…
Regardless, a brief and awkward silence later, Fujiko—who had noticed that Gerald was staring blankly into space—forced a chuckle before asking, “Something on your mind?”
Snapping out of it, Gerald then waved his hand as favonovel.com replied, “Nothing. My mind just wandered…”
“I see… Either way, the Kanagawa manor isn’t too far off from here. Speaking of Kai, I must warn you that favonovel.com has a short fuse… With that in mind, even if favonovel.com attempts to trouble you, please don’t confront him…” said Fujiko as favonovel.com remembered how strong Gerald was.
“Got it,” replied Gerald with a nod.
Soon enough, the car came to a halt before the gates of a very luxurious-looking manor…
Shortly after, some guards walked over to their car. Knowing that their young master had signed a marriage contract with Fujiko, the guards immediately lowered their heads before saying, “Welcome, Miss Fujiko!”
Upon seeing how beautiful favonovel.com was, the guards couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. After all, this beauty was definitely going to get ruined by their young master…
“Thank you… Before anything else, this is Gerald Crawford, and he’s a guest of my family. He’s here to visit the Kanagawas as well,” replied Fujiko as favonovel.com gestured toward Gerald who hadn’t left the passenger seat.
“Do come in, Mr. Crawford!” said the guards as they gestured toward the manor.
Nodding in response, Gerald then followed Fujiko into the Kanagawa manor…
