Chapter 697 Sato Miyabi and Sato Kawa’s Illicit Affair
Akiyama Family Residence.The current patriarch of the Akiyama Family, Akiyama Taitani, wore a terrifyingly grim expression, emanating a palpable aura of murderous intent.
Akiyama Shoichi reported the failure to kill Sato Miyabi at the hotel, remorsefully admitting, "It’s all my fault for not doing my job properly, I am willing to accept punishment."
"Sato Miyabi is still alive!"
"She actually survived!"
"The sacrifices we made to plan this assassination were immense, you know this full well. Yet, you failed to eliminate the target."
"Not to mention the cost in money and manpower for the decoy targets, even the loss of those assassins was a major blow."
Akiyama Taitani paced as he murmured, desperately suppressing his fury, his wrath clearly reflected on his face.
He even contemplated killing to vent his rage, his beastly gaze instilling fear and dread.
"I deserve to die a thousand deaths." Akiyama Shoichi trembled as he knelt on the ground, his hands supporting him as his forehead touched the floor.
Akiyama Taitani’s eyes burned with intense murderous intent, which he only managed to suppress after a long while.
"Enough, this isn’t entirely your fault. We underestimated the forces surrounding Sato Miyabi." He finally sighed; it was he who had personally arranged this assassination, and if anyone was to blame, it was him. It would be nonsensical to vent his displeasure on Akiyama Shoichi just to relieve his own anger.
Besides, Akiyama Shoichi was the ace assassin of the Akiyama Family, and there would be plenty of opportunities to use him in the future, so it wasn’t worth inflicting unnecessary troubles upon him over a single failure.
"Thank you, Patriarch, for your mercy and for not punishing my faults." Akiyama Shoichi expressed his gratitude with tears.
"You mentioned seeing Huaxia people near Sato Miyabi?" Akiyama Taitani questioned with piercing eyes.
"Yes, absolutely true." Akiyama Shoichi affirmed, "All assassins involved in the operation were sacrificed. Afterward, I sent people to investigate the hotel situation, and it was evident that the bodyguards around Sato Miyabi were not a match for the assassins, who easily dealt with them. Yet somehow, Huaxia figures suddenly emerged, and our men could barely retaliate before being killed by those Huaxia individuals."
"Huaxia people, and highly skilled ones at that." Akiyama Taitani exclaimed through gritted teeth, "What were those Huaxia individuals thinking, coming here to assist that Sato Miyabi, that bitch, and opposing my Akiyama Family, what sense is there in that?"
"Patriarch, with Sato Miyabi alive, the Sato Family can easily suspect that the one behind this is the Akiyama Family. What should we do if the Sato Family comes to settle scores?" Akiyama Shoichi voiced his concern, "Should we prepare in advance?"
"No need. Even if the Sato Family knows it was the Akiyama Family who arranged the assassination, they can do nothing against us. The Sato Family lacks the courage to engage in large-scale conflict with us. Currently, their best choice is to swallow this humiliation and wait for a future opportunity for revenge. The Sato Family knows they lack the capability to challenge the Akiyama Family, so they won’t foolishly seek trouble, as that would only lead to their demise." Akiyama Taitani spoke with confidence, "Moreover, while the Divine Wind Bureau supports our monopolization of Wanpu Company, they do not wish to see large-scale conflict. Resolving Wanpu Company’s ownership without bloodshed or through gentle means is the best strategy."
"Wise leadership, Patriarch. What should I do next, please advise." Akiyama Shoichi asked.
"Investigate those Huaxia individuals thoroughly, understand their relations with the Sato Family, whether they are hired Huaxia assassins or someone else. Knowing oneself and the enemy ensures victory in every battle." Akiyama Taitani said menacingly, "The Sato Family conspiring with Huaxia people is courting death, and those Huaxia individuals shall end up with no resting place."
"Yes!" Akiyama Shoichi bowed in agreement, then departed to carry out his tasks.
...
The Sato Family Residence.
Sato Miyabi courteously invited Ye Fan, Mengyao, Qiu Wen, Du Xueqi, and Shen Yaqing into the Sato Family estate.
Han Bihong and her nine companions remained outside to coordinate activities, not joining Ye Fan and the others to avoid exposing their identities unnecessarily.
Sato Miyabi’s father, Sato Kawa, had long been informed of his daughter’s assassination attempt and subsequent rescue. Therefore, when Sato Miyabi arrived with Ye Fan and the others, he led the Sato Family in a warm welcome and expressed gratitude.
After a brief gathering, Ye Fan and the four others were settled in a courtyard where they took residence.
Sato Kawa and Sato Miyabi convened to discuss confidential matters.
"What background do those Huaxia individuals have?" Sato Kawa questioned with heavy suspicion.
Like Sato Miyabi, he knew nothing about Ye Fan, Mengyao, and their companions’ specific identities. If he had known, he would have recognized the Wanpu Company adversaries and wouldn’t be in his current state of complete ignorance.
While he felt relieved his daughter escaped harm, he harbored intense skepticism about the origins and identities of Ye Fan and the others.
"They’re all business people. Mr. Ye appears to be an exceptional individual, while Ms. Chu is an ordinary person. The other three subordinates are rare talents; I saw those three women in action personally, and each is a master of assassination techniques, clearly well-trained." Sato Miyabi remarked with remarkable insight and intelligence, shedding her previous meekness and respect in front of Ye Fan and the others.
Being back in the Sato Family, Sato Miyabi regained her sense of security and pride.
Thus, she reverted to her true arrogant self, no longer begging Ye Fan and the others for her survival.
"Businessmen? How could it be such a coincidence? They just happened to appear when you were attacked?" Sato Kawa questioned suspiciously.
"Father, you’re overthinking it. I’ve already secretly investigated. Before I checked into the hotel, they had already been staying there. I also checked their arrival records in Japan; they indeed moved into the hotel right after landing from the plane. There’s simply no possibility, and no chance, that they saved me on purpose." Sato Miyabi asserted confidently, "The assassins were merciless and wouldn’t spare anyone, disturbing Mr. Ye and the boss Chu, which led them to send their entourage to deal with the assassins. During the clash with the assassins, that woman called Knife Sister barged into my room. The assassins thought she was with me, so a conflict erupted, resulting in all the assassins being killed and me being rescued."
"If it hadn’t been for my begging and pleading, they wouldn’t have come to the Sato Family."
"Even the business assistance in a verbal agreement was something I brought up proactively."
"I think the boss Chu’s business isn’t that large and needs Wanpu Company’s backing, which is why we had further interactions."
"However, the few people around boss Chu are aces, each one a terrifying presence near the top of the rankings according to the Sky Net Organization."
"Such existences are rare masters, especially now in the Sato Family, which urgently needs such powerful figures to hold the fort and ensure the safety of the Sato Family. Otherwise, we face grave dangers from the murderous intent of the Akiyama Family."
Sato Miyabi spoke eloquently.
"Listening to you, my suspicions have eased considerably." Sato Kawa said, now less doubtful and curious about the identities of Ye Fan and the others.
Since Ye Fan and the others value the business assistance from Wanpu Company, they are all a bunch of money-minded individuals, so there’s no need to worry too much.
"Father, rest assured, there’s no need to worry or doubt. For now, we should plan how to utilize the strength of Mr. Ye and boss Chu to counter the murderous intention from the Akiyama Family, which is the pressing priority." Sato Miyabi said coldly, filled with chill, "In my opinion, our Sato Family shouldn’t be turtles with a head in the shell. We must strike back forcefully, with a strong retaliation, preferably annihilating the Akiyama Family, and then letting our Sato Family control everything in Wanpu Company."
Sato Kawa’s breath tightened, it would be a lie to say he wasn’t tempted, he had already had this thought a long time ago.
However, the current Sato Family is no longer what it used to be, and no longer has enough strength to support him in realizing this wish.
Even with the full assistance of Ye Fan and the others, it would still not be possible.
Because Wanpu Company’s card in the Underworld, the Divine Wind Bureau, stands with the Akiyama Family, which spell disaster for the Sato Family.
"Alas!" Sato Kawa sighed with reluctance.
"Father, do you have some unspeakable difficulties?" Sato Miyabi asked puzzled.
"Daughter, you don’t know, we have received messages from our spies in the Divine Wind Bureau. Given the current strength of the Akiyama Family over the Sato Family, the Divine Wind Bureau has sided with the Akiyama Family. If Akiyama Family can eliminate the Sato Family, then Wanpu Company will be under Akiyama Family’s control. The Divine Wind Bureau only wants one voice to issue commands, hence, our Sato Family’s situation is dire." Sato Kawa said with deep frustration.
The only factor that could reverse the unfavorable situation is to regain the support of the Divine Wind Bureau, but it’s just too difficult.
"What?"
"How could this happen?"
"So that’s what it is!"
"No wonder the Akiyama Family dares to strike me so mercilessly; they had such a big backing." Sato Miyabi first showed surprise and suspicion, then understood and immediately became enraged.
She said powerlessly, "This way, isn’t my Sato Family facing a great calamity? Even with Mr. Ye and boss Chu’s strong power, even if we borrow their power to eliminate the Akiyama Family, the Divine Wind Bureau’s support for Akiyama Family is the most fatal issue. We might borrow Mr. Ye and others’ power temporarily, but ultimately we still need the support of the Divine Wind Bureau."
"Isn’t that the case?" Sato Kawa said reluctantly, "I hope the Divine Wind Bureau can change its decision, that way, our Sato Family would still have a chance."
The Sato Family indeed does not have enough strength and confidence to confront the Akiyama Family head-on currently.
As Akiyama Taitani said, the Sato Family doesn’t have the guts.
"What should we do now?" Sato Miyabi asked, full of conflict.
"Just take one step at a time, let fate decide." Sato Kawa said helplessly.
The two talked for a long time, the more they spoke, the more they felt a sense of impending crisis slowly permeating every cell of their bodies. Suddenly, the hostility in their hearts was quite intense.
"Father, let’s not talk about unhappy things. I just survived a deadly ordeal, my empty heart and body urgently need father’s ravishment now." Sato Miyabi suddenly changed, coquettishly said.
"I am the same; in recent days, I’ve been frightened and worried, my inner self greatly tormented, needing my daughter’s body to nourish and comfort me." Sato Kawa’s face suddenly flashed with lewdness.
The father and daughter, forgetting the imminent great disaster facing the Sato Family.
Already engaged in dirty dealings and incestuous behavior, they crazily tore at their clothes, becoming entangled messily.
