“T-Takuya…! You can’t just make unilateral decisions like this…! And driving so many people out of the family at once…?! Even if you managed to get those contracts, you should realize that you’re just leading the family to ruin!” scowled Masaru after calming down slightly.
“Second uncle, if you insist on letting them stay, I’ll start wondering about your true purpose… Regardless, I’ve made up my mind! This family doesn’t want any black sheep within it!” growled Takuya in a determined tone, making it clear that he was dead serious.
After all, if he didn’t do this now, these bloodsuckers would simply leech off the Fareast Consortium business till the family reverted to its current sorry state! Takuya had learned this the hard way, and there was no way he was going to let history repeat itself!
Regardless, Masaru—who clearly hadn’t expected Takuya to defy him this openly—found himself growing paler and paler as he muttered, “Takuya…! You…!”
All of a sudden, Masaru held onto his chest before toppling to the ground…! Naturally, this shocked everyone.
Knowing that Masaru was still his uncle, Takuya was first to react by running over to the collapsed man while yelling, “Second uncle!”
Watching as Takuya kneeled by his side before helping him up, Masaru—who had an agonizing expression on his face now—desperately gasped for air while saying, “P-pills… My pills…!”
Nodding in response, Takuya searched around his uncle’s coat and soon found a tiny white bottle. Slipping a black pill out, Takuya then yelled, “Water! Hurry!”
Either way, with Masaru now out of the picture, Takuya turned to look at his family again before asking in an indifferent tone, “Was my order not clear enough?”
Again, nobody said a word. After all, since Takuya was dead set on driving them out, they figured that if they said anything else, they were only going to leave a worse impression on Takuya…
“Get out of my sight within five minutes. And make sure to cut all ties with the family. I’m only giving you this warning since we’re fellow clansmen. I won’t be so kind in the future,” growled Takuya who no longer lacked confidence due to the partnership with the Fareast Consortium.
Regardless, after looking at each other, the ex-Futaba family members slowly left the parlor…
