Masked Rider, but kindhearted

Although I care about my two daughters...Ryubei must die!

All that is left for me is revenge!

Thinking of this, Sherad drank the tea again, turned around and sat at his desk, devoting himself to his revenge.

......

Fuuto, Sonosaki family residence.

"Hello, Director Taniguchi!"

"Please give me your guidance in the future, President Horita."

"Master Chunyi, it's our first meeting. Please take care of me."

"Congratulations, Miss Yazi, and happy wedding."

At Sonosaki's wedding banquet, Jun'ichi Abe stole the limelight and became the object of these wealthy families and businessmen's flattery.

After all, it is well known that although Sonosaki-chan is the eldest daughter of Sonosaki Ryubei, the old man's favorite is his second daughter Wakana.

The role played by Sonosaki Yako is more of an acting leader of the museum rather than a true successor.

The Abe family is a real behemoth that can compete with the Sonosaki family, and this young master Junyi is the only heir.

Then it is obvious who to flatter!

Those who are invited to the wedding banquet are either powerful (beep——) or rich and powerful. Ordinary businessmen who are simply rich are not qualified to enter.

It is precisely for this reason that these people are all very smart and realistic. They will not deliberately offend others, nor will they engage in excessive useless social activities.

Some people have deeper considerations:

This is the Sonosaki family, the most powerful and mysterious family in Fuuto, the creators of Gaia's memory, and the kings of the underworld.

Japanese people have a contradictory mindset in their bones: they admire the strong and want to overthrow the strong.

The Sonosaki family is a well-deserved strong family, and the Abe family is also a well-deserved strong family. Compared with these two top elephants, their small families are at best Hajimi.

In the past decade or so, everyone has been serving as dogs for the Sonosaki family. Now, some people want to change their masters.

Some people may ask, who is a dog and why take the risk?

The answer is, there is a difference:

Firstly, this young eldest son of the Abe family is clearly inexperienced and easy to control;

Secondly, there are differences between dogs. Police dogs have a stable job and a stable job, but stray dogs might be stolen one day and made into dog meat sashimi (?).

The entire Sonosaki family is supported by the old man Ryubei. None of the younger generation is good enough. It might collapse in a few years.

Finally, the newly recruited son-in-law Sudo Kirihiko is an ordinary son-in-law, not an adopted son-in-law; and it is said that Abe Jun'ichi may marry into the Sonosaki family and become an adopted son-in-law.

There are also differences between sons-in-law, and the difference between the two is huge!

An adopted son-in-law is very different from an ordinary son-in-law. The latter is just a son-in-law, while the former is a son-in-law and half a son. Although he is a son-in-law, he can directly change his surname and become the eldest son of the family.

The original daughter becomes the daughter-in-law, and the other sisters in the family even have to call him brother instead of brother-in-law.

Under this distinction, if Jun'ichi Abe became the son-in-law and adopted son of the Sonosaki family, he would almost be the legal heir of the two major families!

If you can get close to him, the benefits of this investment will be even greater than following the dragon!

Chapter 122: Nani, what do you mean the new factory was taken over by Kamen Rider?! (4K)

Adopting a son-in-law is a unique culture of Japan. This adoption practice originated from shrine staff and was passed down to the Edo period.

Influenced by feudal legacy, in modern times, most chaebols and politicians have continued this practice.

Generally speaking, legitimate sons are given priority over illegitimate sons, and eldest sons are given priority over youngest sons. If there are no offspring, brothers, nephews or fellow clansmen are given priority. If no one who meets the requirements can be found, outsiders are looked for.

In the Edo period, if a samurai family had only daughters, they would often adopt a son from a samurai family of the same class, give him their own surname, and let him take on a position such as head of the family.

And his own daughters could marry normally and marry into other influential samurai families.

In this way, samurai families were able to pass on patrilineal authority and establish a strong family position in society.

There are two differences between the concepts of "home" in Japanese culture and "home" in Chinese culture.

One is "family business": it mainly refers to the occupations and crafts that have been carried out by a family for generations, not just property.

For example, a samurai's family business is to "serve" his lord, and a doctor's family business is to practice medicine.

One is the "family name", or the "surname" in Japanese (in the old days, "surname", "clan name" and "surname" were different concepts in Japanese), to be more precise, the family's signboard or name.

In Japanese culture, the most important thing for a family head is to preserve the family business and family name, with blood ties being secondary.

When the head of a family (called "family head" in Japanese) has only daughters or no daughters at all, it becomes inevitable to find a brother, nephew, or even an unrelated outsider as an heir (adopted son) to keep the "family business" and "family name" from being cut off.

That is what some people say: "The Japanese family is more like a company."

It is precisely for this reason that the protagonists of today's wedding banquet, Sonosaki Kazuko and Sudo Kirihiko, did not receive much attention.

Instead, it was Jun'ichi Abe who was invited and was treated like a star. Some shameless people even wanted to lick his shoes, as if he was the only one who could be the next king of darkness in Fuuto.

However, he declined these offers.

Born and raised in China, and educated by his father since childhood... museums and the dark side of Fengdu are just another form of gangs to him.

In Jun'ichi Abe's opinion, the Black Society is just a chamber pot, which is only used when necessary.

Taking it out in broad daylight...it's a bit sexy.

As for Gaia Memory?

There is a famous saying in China: Not having a sword in your hand and not using it are two different things... Although his original purpose was not so noble.

The guests around were still chattering, but Young Master Abe was in no mood to pay attention to their boasting.

Because he needed to concentrate and focus on dealing with the big chamber pot in front of him, Sonosaki Ryubei.

As the creator of Gaia's memory, the underground king of Fuuto, and the greedy head of the Abe family who covets the Abe family's property, Sonosaki Ryubei gives people the first impression of being a kind old grandfather.

“Hahaha→Haha↑~~~”

After a rather undulating laugh, Sonosaki Ryubei's next words were about accountability:

"Ah Chun, since you came to Fengdu, I've asked you out more than a dozen times, but I was either rejected or your housekeeper intervened. It wasn't easy to finally meet you this time!"

Haha, if I see you a few more times, I’m afraid the Abe family will disappear!

Previously, Abe Jun'ichi's housekeeper came forward to talk with this old man and reached a preliminary cooperation:

Several of the Abe family's businesses provide the Sonosaki family with regular orders every month.

In response, Sonosaki Ryubei took out the golden memory and the Earth Drive specially provided by the Sonosaki family.

After that, the Sonosaki family has been secretly encroaching on the interests of the Abe family, while Jun'ichi Abe has found the masked female Sherad and adapted to the power of memory on his own.

Although he complained in his heart, Jun'ichi Abe still smiled sincerely on the surface:

"My old man missed me too much, and he's been busy accompanying them. You know, building a family and a career is the most important thing for an old man. Family is more important than anything else."

"That's true." Sonosaki Ryubei nodded and said, "But now that you're an adult, you have to learn how to take over the Abe family's assets. Look at your old housekeeper, what kind of family is he in charge of! The Abe family's assets are almost all moved out of Fuuto!"

This is a fucking emergency! If I don't order him to move his property out of Fengdu, you old bastard will eat it all up sooner or later!

The Japanese really forget about morality when they see small profits, and cherish their lives when they plan for big things.

You old man, do you know what it means to be distant but not distant from your relatives?!

Oh, sorry mom, I think I accidentally used the map cannon AOE...

Jun'ichi Abe felt silently sorry in his heart - he was half Japanese by blood, but his nationality was Chinese, and he received Chinese education since childhood. Therefore, every time at this time, he would subconsciously distinguish the Japanese from the Japanese, but his mother was still a Japanese national... although she had a permanent residence green card.

"Uncle Sonosaki taught us that the Abe family made their fortune in Fuuto, so we shouldn't forget our roots!"

Jun'ichi Abe continued with his fake commercial smile.

Alas, my name is Chunyi, but I can’t survive in this kind of environment by remaining simple.

"Hahaha → Haha↑~~~ I'm an old man, I'm too talkative." Sonosaki Ryubei said, then stood up and looked outside. "Do you think it's hot and lively outside?"

It’s lively, indeed lively. With the speed at which your eldest daughter, Sono Saki-chan, is unlucky in marriage, you’ll soon be able to have another lively occasion.

Jun'ichi Abe had investigated this - the eldest daughter of the Sonosaki family was a bit scary. All of her ex-boyfriends, even those she had ambiguous relationships with, died in accidents without exception.

This groom Sudo Kirihiko, no, after today he will have to be called Sonosaki Kirihiko... I wonder how long he can hold on?

Junichi Abe really hopes that all the weddings and funerals of the Sonosaki family can be held on the same day to save trouble!

"That's right," Jun'ichi Abe said. He was still not used to this kind of occasion, and his fake smile was a little stiff. "It's really lively."

Who knew that this old fox set a trap here, and directly triggered the combo!

"I think our Sonosaki family could use a little more liveliness... You're not young anymore, it's time to think about your own lifelong affairs." Sonosaki Ryubei said with feigned concern, "My little daughter Wakana is here too. You're all young people, you can interact with each other, hahaha → haha↑~~~"

"Uncle Sonosaki, why don't you make a different request?"

Jun'ichi Abe didn't bother to fake a smile and replied coldly.

His lover is only Qianjian Qiuhua, and it can only be Qianjian Qiuhua. Even though she has left him forever, this heart will never have room for anyone else!

Before coming here, Abe Jun'ichi had made up his mind. He would rather give up some of the Abe family's property than agree to any messy marriage!

As soon as Jun'ichi Abe said this, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became cold.

Several guests who were chatting with each other not far away and actually eavesdropping also looked over here with surprised eyes.

"Why, you don't like Wakana?"

Sonosaki Ryubei really couldn't understand why Jun'ichi Abe chose to refuse such a tempting proposal from him?

And the rejection was so ruthless!

Not to mention that his daughter Wakana is as beautiful as a fairy, and the people pursuing her can line up from Fuuto to the center of Tokyo. Even with his reputation as the king of the underground, he shouldn't have any reason to reject him, right?

Could it be that this kid is so inexperienced that he is not afraid of tigers and still thinks that the Abe family is as powerful as before and can hold his chin high when meeting anyone?

"That's not the case." Abe Jun'ichi shook his head and said, "Ms. Wakana is as beautiful as a flower, and I am a popular singer at Fuuto Radio. And I am just an ordinary rich second-generation, I am not worthy of her..."

"Don't try to put me off with that kind of talk." Sonosaki Ryubei looked Abe Jun'ichi squarely in the eye for the first time and said in a deep voice, "Be frank and tell me your reasons. Even though I'm an old man, I'm not so heartless."

"I have someone in my heart. There is no place for Miss Wakana."

"It's a deal, double happiness! We're all young people, and our families aren't short of money, so liking each other is what matters most~"

A girl with a bun-like haircut appeared out of nowhere and interrupted excitedly.

She doesn't want any family marriage. It's a society of free love now.

If this Junji or Junsan agreed to her father Ryubei's proposal, she would dare not go home!

Anyway, she seldom goes home now and just lives at Tiandao's place... Bah, bah, bah, what does it have to do with Tiandao!

Miss Wakana is just, just looking for fun and wanting to be free!

"That's great! Miss Wakana is truly kind and beautiful, a true lady from a noble family. She's not as arrogant and domineering as the rumors say."

Abe Jun'ichi was moved, and it seemed that he should not rely too much on information on paper.

His father once taught him: "You can know a person's face but not his heart."

As expected, you can only know what a person is like after getting to know him or her through interaction with him or her.

Next... according to what the old butler taught me... it's probably the meat cutting part.

"But I really feel bad for rejecting your request." Abe Jun'ichi took a deep breath, recalled the famous book "The Actor's Self-cultivation", and said with tears in his eyes in an exaggerated manner:

"Please make one more condition. My Abe family will do it, even at the cost of our lives!"

"Ahahaha → Haha↑~~~, you're indeed a descendant of the Abe family, so generous!" Sonosaki Ryubei nodded and said, "In that case, my dear nephew, please do me a small favor."
