Chapter 1725


    For so many years, Machi and Yahiko merely had friendly rivalry with one another. It could be said


    that i n those years, the two of them only saw each other as their biggestpetitors.


    However, both of them were only around their early fifties. They grew up in the post-war period


    where Japan was at its weakest, most fragile moment. It was an era where people had no vision


    and self-esteem. They grew up during the peaceful moments and thus, there was no longer the


    viciousness and wickedness that their predecessors once had in their blood.


    That was why afterpeting with one another for so many years, their main motive forpetition


    was only for business advancements. They had never had the intention of killing their opponents.


    It was like Alibaba and Tencentpany bosses. Despite theirpetition being very fiery, they still


    abided by thews and regtions. 10


    No matter how upset they were with one another, they will still try to remain as polite and rule-


    abiding as possible.


    It was like the online saying that goes, ''no matter how much the heart aches, keep smiling.’


    However, after eavesdropping on the Schulz family''s video conference, Machi was shocked and at


    the same


    time, felt like he had realized something. It was like a wake-up call.


    At that very moment, he felt enlightened!


    Now, he no longer wanted to be thew-abiding model of the past which he once was in order to


    compete with Yahiko. 5


    Now, he just hoped that Yahiko would disappear from this world!


    More urately, he hoped the entire Ito family would be banished from this world!


    That way, the Takahashi family would no longer have any obstacles in Japan.


    In Machi''s mind, he had already prepared a hit list.


    The first person on the hit list would be Ito Yahiko, while the second would be Charlie Wade, the


    b*stard who had broken his son''s arms. 6


    He kept thinking that killing off Charlie would be an easy task whereas assassinating Ito Yahiko


    would be difficult.


    To him, Charlie was just a martial arts expert from Oskia. Plus, he has been marked by his very own


    ninja master. He could just end his life at any given time, s


    However, it would be more difficult to kill Yahiko.


    After all, the Ito family had been living in Japan for so many years and the strength of their family


    wasparable to that of the Takahashi family.


    They also had fully armed bodyguards apanying them whenever they were out. Nevertheless,


    Yahiko was someone of high stature in the high society of Japan. Machi could not use brute force to


    kill him for i t would bring him more trouble in the future. 9


    Therefore, the best method to solve this would be to join forces with an even more powerful family


    to continuously suppress the Ito family. They had to push him off the top Japanese family lists first.


    Then, when his family finally became irrelevant in the Japanese society, his life would be in Machi’s


    hands. H e could immediately end his life with a single blow.


    During that time, to end his life would be as easy as taking candy from a baby.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Therefore, in order to end Ito Yahiko, it would be best t o coborate with the Schulz family. 6


    In short, this coboration with the Schulz family must only be victorious! They must not know


    defeat! 5
