Chapter 2081.
"Do you smoke?"
After taking two puffs, Takuya threw the cigarette box at Gerald.
Gerald caught it, took one, and turned it on.
"So, you're just acting. You want to force me to cancel the marriage contract with the Kanagawa family by using the couple's status?"
After taking two puffs, Takuya narrowed his eyes and looked at Gerald.
Being the head of the family was enough to prove his ability in reading the faces and words of the people here.
"No, we really love each other!"
Fujiko said quickly.
"I don't care if you're really in love or if you're trying to do an act in front of me, but I'm not going to let you have a relationship with the youngest son of the Kanagawa family. I will try my best to convince the family members. As for the Kanagawa family, I will find a way to deal with them. No matter what, I will not exchange my daughter's happiness and reputation for the rest of her life for the future of the family."
Takuya clenched his fists. She couldn't imagine how her daughter's life would be after she married a man like Kai.
If he was not aware of the situation this time, he would personally push his daughter into the fire.
"Chairman Takuya, there's something I'm not sure if I should ask you" Gerald said after switching off his cigarette.
"You can just ask. You are the savior of the Futaba family, and now, you are Fujiko's girlfriend. As long as you want to know, I'll tell you."
Takuya waved his hand.
"What kind of grudge do you have with the Hanyu family? As far as I know, this family will barely take a step here against the people of Japanese territory. Why did they send assassins to kill Fujiko this time?"
Ask Gerald.
This question had been on his mind for a long time. Only after she finds out about the grudge between Futaba and the Hanyu Family can Fujiko help better. Moreover, he did not want to get involved in the fight between the big families in Japan without knowing about it.
Even though he did this for the sake of Longing Island, he would not get into unnecessary trouble.
"The grudge between us and the Hanyu family began several hundred years ago. But this was the only information passed down by the ancestors. For as long as I can remember, we have never met or been in conflict with the Hanyu family. This time, I was also a bit off guard when the Hanyu family suddenly tried to kill Fujiko. Maybe they know that our situation is not good, and they want to take this opportunity to eliminate us."
Takuya shook his head helplessly.
Before, when the Futaba family was still fine, the Hanyu Family was very quiet. So silent that he even wondered if there really was a grudge between the families. But now, when his family showed signs of decline, Hanyu's family could not sit still anymore.
It really made him sick. At the same time, he decided that if his family could recover, Hanyu's family would be the first he wanted to deal with. At the very least, he would not let them target his family anymore.
"When they dare to attack Fujiko, it means they've been planning it for a long time. So, it won't be just this once. We need to be more careful in the future."
Gerald didn't get any valuable information from Takuya.
“Indeed. Fujiko is a special forces officer in Japan, and she has the title of Queen's Warrior. He was extremely strong, but still, he wasn't even an opponent of the assassins. From this, we know that the Hanyu family must have sent a hit man. If they don't want to kill Fujiko, they must be planning to kidnap her to threaten me, then."
Takuya strongly agreed with Gerald's words.
So, before Gerald had finished his sentence, he quickly said what was on his mind.
"The murderers are very strong."
Gerald agreed.
Chapter 2082.
"Don't talk about the Hanyu family for now. The priority now is to solve the problems of the Kanagawa family. I can agree, but the rest of the family will disagree. How about this? You go and rest first, and I'll take you to meet them to discuss this matter together."
Takuya was not interested in the Hanyu family for now. All he could think of was his daughter. If he marries his daughter to Kanagawa Kai, he will live in regret and regret for the rest of his life.
"Let's go. We should go and rest first."
Fujiko grabbed Gerald's hand naturally.
"Then, we'll go back first."
Gerald nodded and said stiffly.
Looking at the backs of his daughter and Gerald, Takuya sighed softly. If the family had not undergone this change, she would have raised her hand and agreed her daughter was dating Gerald.
Not for any other reason, but just because his daughter was willing. In addition, Gerald is able and able to protect his daughter. But now....
Takuya lit another cigarette and contacted all the senior members of the family, telling them that they should come to the main residence tonight to discuss something important.
Inside the room, Gerald releases Fujiko's hand as soon as they enter through the door. Although it was just a show to fight for her happiness, holding hands with another woman while Mila was still in danger made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Thank you."
Fujiko. He was content to join hands with Gerald.
"May I see your locket?"
Gerald pointed at the Seadom tribe's special pendant necklace around his neck and asked.
Fujiko took off the pendant naturally and handed it to Gerald.
While holding the pendant, Gerald studied it closely. The pendant was indeed a little different from other common pendants. Moreover, the material is also special.
Logically, pendants worn all the time should be warm because they are placed around the chest. However, this pendant was strangely very cold.
"This is your ancestral locket?"
After examining her for a moment, Gerald returned it to her so as not to arouse suspicion.
“Yes. My father said that when I was born, my grandfather put the necklace on me and said that this is a very important item and I should not lose it. But until now, I had no idea what this pendant meant."
Fujiko put the necklace back on and spoke rather strangely.
"Maybe this is very important to your family."
Gerald smiled. He believes in Fujiko. This meant that she was the daughter of the Seadom tribe, but she did not know about the Seadom tribe or the Island of Longing.
"Are you interested in this locket?"
Fujiko touched the locket and felt the coldness of the locket.
"Not really. I'm just a little curious because I've never seen a locket like this before."
Gerald shook his head and said casually.
"By the way, I still don't know your identity. Why do you have such a powerful force that you can even fight against the Hanyu family's hitmen? Are you the mysterious expert of the Weston army?"
Fujiko looked at Gerald suddenly and chuckled, covering her mouth.
"I'm not from the army. I've only trained myself since young, so I have a bit of that power. I was only lucky when I fought against the people from the Hanyu family. If I fight alone, I'm not necessarily a match for him,"
Gerald said with a smile,
"Hm, I can't believe that!" Fujiko pouted.
Chapter 2083.
Up until now, he could clearly remember the situation where Gerald had made his move. It was just an instant, and the assassin, who was about to kill him, had been thrown over ten meters away instantly. He had never seen such power, even in the Japanese army.
"Haha! Then, I'll tell you later when I have the chance."
Seeing that he could not hide it from Fujiko, Gerald could only laugh and reply.
In the evening, at Takuya's request, all the senior members of the Futaba family returned to the manor.
They originally lived in a manor to manage all of the estates and businesses, but since the family began to suffer a setback two years ago, only a small percentage have still retained their previous jobs, the majority left their families and stayed outside.
On one hand, they use their identity as Futaba to earn money. On the other hand, they do not want to stay in the family, fearing that they might be affected when something bad happens.
But now, Takuya had asked them to return as the head of the family. So, even if they are reluctant, they still have to go back. After all, now that the Futaba family had not completely fallen, Takuya was still the leader of their family.
In addition, they may get some benefits if they come back. In the meeting room of the manor, all the members began to enter and exchange information about what was happening outside today.
They did not care about Takuya, and not even one of them greeted him.
"These ungrateful people!"
The members living in the family turned their heads towards Takuya and spoke in a low voice loudly.
"Forget it. Don't bother about them. There is an old Weston saying that, 'husband and wife who were formerly birds in the same forest will fly themselves when trouble comes'. Even a husband and wife are like this, isn't it normal that we're just a family?"
Takuya smiled calmly. He'd seen all this years ago. Moreover, he could take this opportunity to drive away those who were unfaithful to the family.
Once there is an opportunity for the family to recover, getting rid of these pests will only bring benefits.
"Patriark, how are Fujiko and Kanagawa's wedding preparations going? We've been planning this for a long time. I think we should get it done as soon as possible. It's for the good of the family too!"
Not long after, someone said to Takuya.
The one who spoke was Futaba Suke, Takuya's nephew. He was the first to leave after seeing signs of the Futaba family's downfall.
As soon as he said that, all eyes were on Takuya. They knew clearly that once Fujiko got married to the Kanagawa family, the Futaba family would receive help, and they would be able to get many benefits from the family.
"I called you here today to talk about this matter."
Takuya swept their gaze and said calmly.
"Have you called us here to tell us about the wedding date? Don't worry, Patriarch, we'll take the time to attend even if we're busy. It's just that I was wondering if Kanagawa would do what they promised. Fujiko can't marry that family for no reason."
Suke opened her eyes wide.
"We'll talk about this when Fujiko is here."
Takuya waved his hand.
Hearing this, everyone stopped talking and started counting in their minds, thinking that once Kanagawa's help arrived, they could catch the benefit in their hands.
