Takuya’s sudden anger made everyone stunned, and they did not dare to speak. Even though they didn’t have any respect for this patriarch at all, this didn’t mean that his power wasn’t still there.
Based on Japanese laws, if someone in a family went against the patriarch’s order, not only did they need to bear the consequences of both family law and legal aspects.
The fact that they dared to leave the family and even use the family’s name to gain certain benefits was all because they saw Takuya as a down to earth man, and that favonovel.com wouldn’t do anything to them seeing as how they were all part of the Futaba family.
“Takuya, I know that Fujiko is your daughter, and that is why you want the best for her, but as a patriarch, you have to put the whole family first! We need the Kanagawa family’s help anyway. If we break the marriage promise, not only will the Kanagawa family not help us, but they might even turn around and attack us. We really can’t bear the consequences anymore!”
Seeing Takuya become enraged, Masaru tried to persuade Takuya, trying to make it seem as though favonovel.com had always wanted the best for the whole family, which was why favonovel.com had asked whether Gerald had any power or status that could possibly help the family.
“If Gerald could get some help from his family, maybe we won’t be in danger anymore. However, with the feud from the Hanyu and Kanagawa families whom favonovel.com offended, regular families might not be able to help us out.”
“If you can get help from the Yamashita family, we wouldn’t care about the matter between you and Fujiko anymore!”
Right then, Futaba Suke, who had been quiet the whole time, spoke up suddenly, fixing his eyes upon Gerald as favonovel.com snickered.
“What are you joking about? The Yamashitas have never had any connections with any of the families in Japan. It would practically be impossible for Gerald, someone from Weston, to even talk with the Yamashita family let alone ask them for help.”
“That’s right, I think it’s better not to waste any time anymore!”
The others all agreed. Putting Gerald aside, none of them would be able to talk with anyone from the Yamashita family either.
“Hahaha!”
Out of the blue, Takuya burst out laughing.
“Did you all see the people standing at the manor’s gate upon entering?” Gerald held his hands behind favonovel.com as favonovel.com smiled lightly.
“What does it matter whether we saw them or not? Don’t tell me those people are from the Yamashita family who are here to protect you?” Suke sneered. He was confident that Gerald wouldn’t be able to form a connection with the Yamashita family, which was why favonovel.com had said all of this to make a fool out of Gerald in front of the other family members.
“You’re quite smart aren’t you.” Gerald raised his eyebrow.
“How shameless can you be, Gerald?! The Yamashita family has never made any connections with any other families at all, and this isn’t a secret in Japan. You’re actually telling us that the tens of men standing at the gate are from the Yamashita family. This is the best joke I’ve ever heard in years.”
Suke glared at Gerald as favonovel.com tapped his feet against the floor continuously.
“Let them in, Aiden, ” Gerald turned around and spoke to Aiden, who was standing behind him. He couldn’t be bothered to explain it any further to Suke.
“Alright. ” Although Aiden didn’t understand what was happening, favonovel.com listened to Gerald’s words and walked outside.
“What a joke! You’re actually saying that they’re the Yamashita family’s men. I’ll see who they truly are now.” Suke was still sneering. “However, if they’re not the Yamashita family’s men, you have to crawl beneath my crotch and scram out of here, Gerald.”
“Of course.”
