“Mr. Asuka, w-what are you doing?” Kazuo''s eyes widened when he saw the snow lotus. He didn''t understand what kind of
scheme or trick Asuka was pulling.
“You helped me take revenge, so of course | want to repay you. Although some people were sacrificed, it''s nothing,” Asuka
replied.
Upon hearing this, Kazuo felt a bit ashamed. After all, he had not been able to kill Jared and had only deceived Asuka.
But looking at the snow lotus in front of him, Kazuo knew he couldn''t just refuse it...
“Thank you very much, Mr. Asuka.”
Kazuo quickly took the snow lotus from Haruto''s hands.
As he looked at the snow-white lotus, Kazuo couldn''t help but feel enamored with it. Asuka noticed this and curled the corners of
his lips into a slight smile.
“Mr. Kawaguchi, | actually have one more thing I''d like to ask for your help with...” Asuka said.
“Please, Mr. Asuka, just tell me.” Kazuo''s eyes were fixed on the snow lotus, and he would agree to anything at this point.
“| want you to capture Yuri and bring her here,” uttered Asuka.
When Kazuo heard this, his excitement vanished instantly, and he handed the snow lotus back to Haruto.
“Mr. Asuka, | don''t want to get involved in the Watanabe family''s affairs. | hope you can understand. | have things to do, so I''ll
take my leave now...” Kazuo said before running away.
Kazuo wasn''t stupid. He knew he shouldn''t get involved in the power struggles of such arge family because he knew that no
matter who won in the end, he would be the sacrificialmb.
Upon seeing Kazuo run away in fear, Asuka couldn''t help but curse, “Coward! He''s just a coward...”
“Dad, what should we do now? It''s going to be difficult to capture Yuri, especially after this...” Haruto asked his father.
After this failure, Ryosuke would certainly strengthen security measures around Yuri and might even prevent her from leaving her
home.
“Hmph! Even without Yuri as a bargaining chip, I''ll take the position of the head of the family. Follow me to the ancestral home...”
Asuka demanded, his expression grim and menacing.
At the foot of Fujio Mountain in the Xendale suburbs, there was a simple wooden house that served as the ancestral home of the
Watanabe family. Masato Watanabe, who lived there, was the most senior member of the family.

The middle-aged man was kneeling next to Masato with an old katana ced in front of him. Although the man''s eyes were cold
and filled with disrespect, Ryosuke dared not show any resentment toward him.
This man was Kawano Chishima, a renowned sword master in Xendale whose skill with a katana was legendary, and whose true
strength was unknown to anyone.
Kawano had been guarding Masato''s safety since he was young and was still doing so now with the utmost loyalty.
