Chapter 638 Handling the Matter

Chapter 628 Handling the Matter
“Crying, does crying solve anything? You only know how to run away, you don’t know how to face all of this. Is running away useful? If you hadn’t kept running away, how could this situation have come about? Don’t let your family’s greed ruin your life! Giving should have its limits. Blindly indulging others will only harm yourself and others!” Looking at Nakamori Akina, who was still crying, John frowned again. Crying wouldn’t solve the problem, it would only make it more complicated.

Although Nakamori Akina had regained consciousness, the group of people alone were powerless to help her face everything correctly. The woman still harbored thoughts of escape; perhaps she was simply too foolish. However, this couldn't continue, because her greedy buddy wouldn't care about her life or death, only about the profits he could gain from her.

"Miss Riko, could you arrange for someone to bring Chieko-san to the hospital?" Under these circumstances, John could only think of Nakamori Akina's mother, Chieko. She was the only one in the family who felt sorry for Akina, and she was Akina's only concern.

Hearing John's words, Riko nodded and then left again. She couldn't speak about such matters and could only follow John's arrangements. As for Chieko's problem, it was still necessary to inform Akio Morita, as only he could safely take Chieko to the hospital without being noticed by others or attracting media attention.

After receiving Riko's call, Akio Morita contacted Ken-on and made arrangements. Then, Hanami Kagami, the socialite, had to step in to meet Akina's greedy family and send Chieko to the hospital. Now that John has appeared, the matter is being resolved, so there is not much to worry about.

"Chieko-san, this matter also needs to be resolved. Why don't you come with us to see Akina?"

"Akina, we want to see her! You can't keep us imprisoned here! We want to see Akina!" At this moment, Nakamori Akio became energetic again, thinking that he could use Akina to negotiate with Hanami Kagami and get himself out of here.

"Shut up! You have no right to speak here. You think you can see Akina? How ridiculously ignorant! It's a blessing that you're alive. Don't provoke me any further, or your whole family, except for Chieko-san, will not survive!" Hanami Kagami's eyes were filled with endless anger at this moment. He didn't expect this stupid guy to dare to mention Akina and want to see her. If it weren't for this guy, everyone would not have been implicated like this.

Hanami Kagami doesn't possess such power, but those who operate in the shadows can, and they've paid a heavy price. It would be a lie to say they don't harbor hatred. If these guys wanted revenge on this family, they would make their lives a living hell. Right now, everyone is holding back because of Akina's presence, allowing this greedy family to escape punishment. Otherwise, their actions would have already been punished!

"Chieko-san, let's go. Don't waste time, or I won't be able to explain myself!" With that, Hanami Kagami ignored the ignorant and foolish Nakamori Akio and turned to leave with Chieko, leaving the whole family dumbfounded. They hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

"Chieko-san, I'm going to explain this in detail so you can be prepared and avoid unnecessary trouble. Akina attempted suicide, thankfully without any serious consequences, but her mental state is very unstable. And the reason for all of this is your family; it's the result of their coercion. You should understand how serious this is. The person behind her has come to Japan, demanding an explanation, and now he wants to see you!"

"How could this happen? How could Akina do this!" Chieko was also shocked by the news. She knew very well what would happen to her family if Akina got into trouble. Perhaps the big boss behind her wouldn't do anything, but many people in Japan would give him an explanation. At that time, the fate of her family would be unimaginable.

"It's because Akio and the others were too greedy, constantly harassing and pressuring Akina. Akina's foolish actions were the last straw that broke Akina's back, leading to this problem. The reason we imprisoned you was to wait for that person's arrival. Now he wants to see you, and this matter must be resolved. We hope you can step forward and persuade Akina not to make things too big, as that would be bad for everyone!"

"I will, I will do my best to persuade them!" Although she was just a woman, Chieko was much more responsible than Nakamori Akio, and she also understood the seriousness of the matter. If things got out of hand, her whole family would pay the price.

"That's good. Out of consideration for Akina, that person won't do anything drastic. But you need to admit your mistakes and make a promise. You need to give that person an explanation, otherwise this matter will be hard to let go!"

Good heavens, this is Hanami Kagami's intention, and also the intention of those guys in Japan—to make this family take full responsibility and admit their mistakes. Under these circumstances, even if John wanted to continue pursuing the matter, he would have no reason to. At least Chieko has already admitted her mistake; it's all their family's fault. They were the ones who forced Akina to this point. At that point, at most, they would just have to sacrifice that guy who walks the dark path to end it all. "President Hanami, is Akina really alright? How is she now?" Chieko was still worried about Akina's safety. Even though Hanami Kagami said Akina was safe, she was still concerned.

"Akina's condition is alright, but I've only heard from the hospital. I haven't seen Akina myself, and we didn't handle everything. I don't know much about Akina's situation either." At this moment, Hanami Kagami couldn't help but sigh. Even though Akina is from Ken-On Agency, they dared not take over all of this. The consequences would be too serious, and they couldn't afford to bear them. It would be better for Naoko to take over, at least there wouldn't be so much trouble and danger.

As they were talking, the car arrived at the hospital. Led by Hanami Kagami, Chieko arrived outside Akina's ward and saw the tight security measures.

"Miss Riko, Chieko-san has arrived. Is Mr. John still here?" Hanami Kagami was shocked to see Riko outside the ward. She hadn't expected her to be here. It seemed that even a big shot like Akio Morita had to be cautious, and even his confidante had been arranged to come here. Things were more dangerous than she had imagined.

"Mr. John is waiting for you inside. Go in quickly, don't keep him waiting too long!" Riko said, opening the door for Hanami Kagami and the others, and then entering the ward together.

"Chieko-san, President Hanami, please have a seat. We should also settle Akina's matter!" John's voice was calm, but Hanami Kagami could still feel a hint of pressure. It was natural for her to feel guilty, as she and Kenne hadn't fulfilled their promise to John. After all, John had entrusted Akina to him, and now this had happened.

"Mr. John, it's my fault for not taking good care of Akina, which led to this!" Hanami Kagami apologized without hesitation, taking the blame upon himself. This was an opportunity for him.

"It has nothing to do with President Hanami; after all, it all happened so suddenly. However, this matter needs a resolution. Since Chieko-san is here, let's settle this once and for all. It's beneficial for everyone. What do you think, Chieko-san?" John didn't avoid Akina at this moment, but instead resolved the matter in front of her to avoid future problems. It's best to handle such matters quickly and decisively.

At this moment, Chieko dared not have any objections. No matter how biased she was, she could not ignore Akina's safety, nor could she ignore John's existence. She could only nod in agreement and dared not speak.

"That's good. Actually, I don't have many demands. It's not that I don't know about your exploitation of Akina, but I didn't say anything for Akina's sake because it's a family matter. I thought Akina could handle it, but this happened in the end, and now I have to intervene. I can let bygones be bygones about what they did in the past, but I don't want them to see Akina again or have any more entanglements with her. Of course, as children, it's their duty to be filial. Even if they don't consider Akina family, but just someone they can use, a cash cow, that doesn't erase the relationship between Akina and them. If I remember correctly, Vanguard gave you a large sum of money back then, and over the past few years, they've taken almost all the money Akina earned. That's a large sum of money; it should be enough for them to live on."

John paused here, then turned his gaze to Hanami Kagami and said, "President Hanami, what is the average annual income of an individual in Japan now? They must take a lot of money from Ken-On every month, right?"

"Less than 400 million yen! Akio-san does indeed take a large sum of money from Ken-On every month."

"That's good. In that case, Akina will pay for this money and give it directly to Chieko-san. Chihoko-san will then distribute it. From now on, this will be settled. Akina will not give any more money to anyone else. All the money will go through Ken-On. President Hanami, is there any problem with this?"

"No, everything is as Mr. John said!" Hanami Kagami naturally had no objections to this matter. It meant that everything was out in the open, and the other party had no chance to cause trouble again. It also resolved a problem for Ken-on. He didn't want to create unnecessary trouble for Ken-on, or even for himself, in this matter!
