“Do you smoke?” After taking two puffs, Takuya threw the cigarette case to Gerald.
Gerald caught it, took one out, and lit it.
“So, you were just acting. You wanted to force me to cancel the marriage contract with the Kanagawa family by using the status of a couple?” After taking two puffs, Takuya squinted his eyes and looked at Gerald. His being the head of the family was enough to prove his ability in reading people’s faces and words.
“No, we truly love each other!” Fujiko said quickly.
“I don’t care if you are genuinely in love or if you're trying to put on an act in front of me, but I will not let you have any connection with the youngest son of the Kanagawa family. I will try my best to persuade the family members. As for the Kanagawa family, I’ll find a way to deal with them. No matter what, I will not trade my daughter’s happiness and reputation for the rest of her life for the future of the family.”
Takuya clenched his fists. He couldn't imagine how his daughter’s life would be once she married a man like Kai. If he hadn’t known of the situation this time, he would have personally pushed his daughter into the fire.
“Chief Takuya, there is something I’m not sure if I should ask you,” Gerald said after crushing out his cigarette.
“You can just ask. You are the savior of the Futaba family, and now, you are Fujiko’s boyfriend. As long as you want to know, I will tell you.” Takuya waved his hand.
“What kind of grudge have you had with the Hanyu family? As far as I know, this family will hardly make a move against people in the Japanese territory. Why did they send assassins to assassinate Fujiko this time?” Gerald asked.
“When they dared to attack Fujiko, it meant that they had planned it a long time ago. So, it won’t be just this once. We have 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 Soldier’. She is very strong, but still, she was not even the opponent of the assassins. From this, we know that the Hanyu family must have sent out top assassins. If they didn’t want to kill Fujiko, they must have been planning to kidnap her to threaten me, then.”
Takuya very much agreed with Gerald’s words. So, before Gerald had finished his sentence, he quickly said what was on his mind.
“The assassins were indeed very strong.” Gerald nodded in agreement.
