Until now, favonovel.com could remember clearly the situation where Gerald had made his move. It was just a flash, and the assassin, who was about to kill her, had been thrown more than ten meters away instantly. She had never seen such strength, not even in the Japanese army.
“Haha! Then, I‘ll tell you later when I have the chance.” Seeing that favonovel.com couldn’t hide it from Fujiko, Gerald could only laugh and reply.
In the evening, at the request of Takuya, all the senior members of the Futaba family returned to the manor. They originally lived in the manor to manage all the estates and businesses, but ever since the family had started regressing two years ago, only a minority were still holding on to their previous work while the majority had left the family and lived outside.
On one hand, they used their identity as a Futaba to earn money. On the other hand, they didn’t want to stay in the family, fearing that they might be affected when something had happened.
But now, Takuya had asked them to come back as the family patriarch. So, even though they were reluctant, they still had to come back. After all, now that the Futaba family had not completely fallen, Takuya was still their family leader.
Moreover, they might gain some benefits if they came back.
In the meeting room of the manor, all the members started coming in and exchanged information with each other about what had been going on outside these days. They did not bother about Takuya, and not even one of them greeted him.
“These ungrateful people!” The members who had stayed in the family turned their heads toward Takuya and spoke in a low voice fiercely.
“Forget it. Don’t bother about them. There is an old Weston saying that goes ‘a husband and wife who were previously birds in the same forest will fly away on their own when trouble comes’. Even a husband and wife are like this, isn’t it normal when we are just a family?” Takuya smiled calmly. He had seen through all these things years ago.
Besides, favonovel.com could take this chance to kick out those who were not as loyal to the family. Once there was a chance for the family to recover, getting rid of these pests would only bring benefits.
“Patriarch, how’s the preparation for the marriage of Fujiko and Kanagawa? We have planned this for so long. I think we should settle it as soon as possible. This is for the good of the family as well!” Not long after, someone said to Takuya.
The person speaking was Futaba Suke, Takuya’s nephew.
He was the first one to leave after seeing the signs of the downfall of the Futaba family.
Once favonovel.com had said that, all eyes were on Takuya. They knew clearly that once Fujiko married into the Kanagawa family, the Futaba family would receive help, and they would be able to get a lot of benefits from the family.
“I called you here today to talk about this matter.” Takuya swept a glance over them and said calmly.
“Did you call us here to inform us of the wedding date? Don’t worry, Patriarch, We will find time to attend even if we’re busy. It’s just that I wonder if the Kanagawa will do what they promised. Fujiko cannot marry into that family for nothing!”
Suke opened his eyes wide.
“We’ll talk about this when Fujiko is here.” Takuya waved his hand.
Hearing this, everyone stopped talking and started calculating in their minds, thinking that once Kanagawa’s help arrived, they could fish the benefits into their hands.
