We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

However, he is now completely giving up, not vying for a position among the Eight Families of the Snake Clan at all, but instead working as a business manager in the Toyokawa Group.

Toyokawa Sadaharu, who was already very unhappy that his daughter Mizuho had chosen to marry him, was even more furious when faced with this situation.

Mizuho was already in poor health and could not withstand the backlash from the Toyokawa family bloodline, ultimately dying young.

He was heartbroken to lose his granddaughter, and in his grief, he thought of his granddaughter, Toyokawa Shoko.

Fortunately, she is still young. If she is trained from now on, she will definitely not repeat the mistakes of Mizuho.

However, his 'son-in-law,' whom he never truly wanted to acknowledge, had always been firmly opposed to letting his daughter come into contact with mixed-race society, and the two had long since parted on bad terms over this topic.

Later, the head of the Kanto branch, Akechi Asuya, found him and revealed a plan.

Toyokawa Sadaharu was overjoyed and agreed on the spot.

The Kanto branch is an important force within the Snake-Headed Eight Families, and they only obey the orders of their patriarch.

Every year, the Toyokawa Group would secretly send a considerable sum of money to the Kanto branch to support and consolidate the power of both sides.

Toyokawa Sadaharu would even secretly satisfy the quirks of some members of the Kanto branch.

Kiyotaka Toyokawa graduated from Kassel College, which wouldn't normally be a problem.

However, he refused offers from all factions within the Snake Clan, whether it was a specific family, the Execution Bureau, or the Kanto branch.

This was something that Tachibana Masamune could not tolerate, and it gradually wore down his patience with Toyokawa Kiyoko.

In addition, he bears the mark left by some being. Since he is unwilling to be used by the family, Tachibana Masamune, as the patriarch, has plenty of ways to make use of him.

After all... the real reason he wanted to become the head of the Snake Clan was that he wanted to become that kind of person.

Thus, with Tachibana Masamune's secret instructions and the support of the Kanto branch, Toyokawa Kiyoyuki was eventually expelled from the family.

As for whether the patriarch had any other plans after expelling him from the family, Toyokawa Sadaharu had no idea.

But now... within the entire Toyokawa Group, Toyokawa Sadaharu can no longer hear a single dissenting voice.

And he finally gained absolute power within the family, allowing him to pursue the goals he desired.

However... the final outcome of the family's handling of Toyokawa Kiyoko was in a limbo, which made him very uncomfortable, but he couldn't do anything drastic, so he could only leave it at that for the time being.

However, Toyokawa Shoko, a crucial part of completing the plan, already has a next step in mind.

Toyokawa Sadaharu was deep in thought when a knock came at the door.

Bang bang bang!

"Ok?"

He turned his head, but before he could say "Please come in," he saw Toyokawa Shoko rush in.

Chapter 117 Toyokawa Shoko, Why Don't You Come With Me First?

Bang bang bang! ! !

Toyokawa Sadaharu hadn't heard such urgent knocking on the door in a long time.

Since he became the head of the Toyokawa Group, all his subordinates have treated him with great respect.

Even when senior executives of the group have something to report to him, they are very polite. No matter what they think in their hearts, they will do their job perfectly on the surface, so that no one can find any fault with them.

At that moment, the knocking on the door of his study reminded him of the time when his father-in-law had sternly reprimanded him when he had just married his wife and was taking over the family business.

At that time, Toyokawa Sadaharu was even more subservient than Toyokawa Kiyoko, the second son-in-law.

After all, his father-in-law was a true direct descendant of the Toyokawa family, and was also an A+ grade hybrid with rich combat experience and far greater strength than him.

What Toyokawa Sadaharu respected was not only his strength, but also his absolute control over the family, which allowed him to take whatever he wanted.

Fortunately, his father-in-law had passed away many years ago, and the family had long forgotten about him.

He is now the absolute controller of the Toyokawa Group.

The days of being scolded are long gone. After his wife passed away, no one even dared to raise their voice at him.

He now stands in a position unattainable by the vast majority of people in Tokyo, and he has the power to change the destinies of countless individuals.

But he understood that there were many beings above him who were difficult to reach.

Those people are closer to the threads of fate of others than he is; with just a gentle touch, they can influence the life trajectories of countless people.

As the head of the Toyokawa Group, I have already experienced the intoxicating feeling of power, but what about them?

Toyokawa Sadaharu's ambition to go further and join the ranks of the Snake-Headed Eight Families deepened even further.

Even now, he doesn't care that the only direct descendant of the Toyokawa family has a problem with him.

She's just a teenage girl, raised in a sheltered environment, lacking a complete worldview and the ability to survive independently; she can't possibly cause any trouble.

With further education from the family for a period of time, and through his guidance, she can be successfully led back onto the path that the Toyokawa family should have taken.

Now is the perfect opportunity to thoroughly suppress her arrogance.

Toyokawa Sadaharu deliberately waited a few more seconds, without even turning his head, seemingly unconcerned about this uninvited guest.

That is, his own granddaughter, Toyokawa Shoko.

Toyokawa Shoko was breathing heavily, and it was clear that she had rushed up the stairs and sprinted all the way to the study.

His brief pause just now backfired. He should have immediately questioned Toyokawa Shoko about her lack of manners, but his deliberate coldness unexpectedly made Toyokawa Shoko recover.

Immediately afterwards, Toyokawa Shoko took the lead in asking questions:

"Grandfather, where is my father!?"

"You know, right!?"

"Ah……"

Toyokawa Sadaharu said calmly,

"That person is no longer a member of the Toyokawa family."

"The company was defrauded, and he resigned to take responsibility."

"Scam?" Toyokawa Shoko asked incredulously.

She suddenly recalled what her father had told her about the family investment he had recently been in charge of.

However, this investment was clearly a collective decision made at a group meeting, and it was related to the medical field.

How could someone in such a high-tech field be so easily scammed?

Before she could say anything, Toyokawa Sadaharu turned around and said in a serious and indignant tone:

"The losses amounted to as much as 168 billion."

"Huh? How could this happen?!"

Toyokawa Shoko's mouth dropped open.

"He's just so unlucky."

Toyokawa Sadaharu turned his head back, his tone softening slightly:

"Forget your father and become my daughter."

“You are the child left behind by Mizuho, ​​and I don’t want you to suffer.”

He had assumed that Toyokawa Shoko would have no choice but to agree to the request.

After all, she had lived a sheltered life since childhood, attended top-tier private schools like Tsukinomori, and her daily life was in line with the standards of a young lady.

Having already enjoyed the benefits of the Toyokawa family's wealth, she certainly couldn't accept living the life of an ordinary person, or even a life worse than that of an ordinary person.

It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality... This is an age-old saying.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Toyokawa Shoko immediately turned around and ran out of the study without the slightest hesitation.

It was as if she didn't care about any of this, completely thwarting Toyokawa Sadaharu's plans.

Even Toyokawa Sadaharu couldn't remain calm now.

He immediately wanted to use his A-level hybrid strength to forcibly grab her, making it impossible for her to leave the study.

Just kidding, no matter what, Toyokawa Shoko is a direct member of the family in this generation.

Despite being the head of the Toyokawa Group, he still needed someone to coerce the emperor into commanding the other lords and to prove his legitimacy.

Swah——

Toyokawa Sadaharu raised his hand, turned around, and was about to grab Toyokawa Shoko.

But the moment the thought crossed his mind, a chill, like a thousand icy needles, crept up his spine, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.

A feeling of being watched suddenly descended upon his soul, making it impossible for him to do the action he had intended.

"Damn it...damn it!!!"

It was only then that Toyokawa Sadaharu suddenly remembered what was hidden in the old Furukawa Garden.

Marrying into the Toyokawa family isn't a free lunch; there's no such thing as a free lunch.

The previous head of the Toyokawa family had already imprisoned him through the presence hidden in the basement, making it impossible for him to do anything harmful to any blood relatives who had Toyokawa blood in their veins.

It is the Toyokawa family's greatest secret, and has never been known to other forces.

Toyokawa Sadaharu had originally regarded it as one of the important hopes for the family's revival.

With its support, coupled with combat training from some mixed-blood individuals, the combat strength of the family's direct bloodline will definitely increase rapidly, and in time, it will surely far surpass his.

He also believed that by then, Toyokawa Shoko would surely understand his good intentions.

But now, before he could even take the crucial first step, he was already restricted and could only watch helplessly as Toyokawa Shoko left the study.

Toyokawa Sadaharu's spirit was exhausted:

"How will a sheltered young lady like you live if you leave here?!"

He was trembling with anger, but he was unable to make any move.

Last time, relying on the existence hidden in the family's basement, he forcibly suppressed Toyokawa Kiyokasa, who was also an A-level hybrid, simply by using his aura.

But now, when facing Toyokawa Shoko, it has in turn restricted itself, leaving him only able to watch helplessly and at most utter a couple of harsh words.

So frustrating!

"Humph."

"At that time, you'll have no choice but to come back and beg me."

Toyokawa Sadaharu was so angry that he laughed instead.

How can a teenage girl live independently? Especially when she has a child to support.

Even if she has some friends from school, they are all at most ten years old. What can they do, no matter how capable they are?

Compared to the Fengchuan Group, these are undoubtedly like throwing an egg against a rock.

In Toyokawa Sadaharu's mind, at most she would just run away from home, go to a few of her classmates' houses for a while, and then come back soon.

If Toyokawa Shoko returns, it will mean that her spirit has been severely crushed, and she will be easier for him to control.

"Ah……"

The icy aura emanating from Toyokawa Sadaharu gradually dissipated.

He was no longer in a hurry, and instead leisurely sat back down at his desk.

"You were going to find that good-for-nothing, weren't you...? Heh, I'll just send you the address of where he lives now."

“A place like that is so dilapidated that it would be hard for anyone to stand. I’d like to see how long you can last in a place like this, since you’re used to living in the old Guhe Courtyard.”

"Hehe... In three days at most, they'll come begging to me."

With that in mind, Toyokawa Sadaharu took out a document from the table and began to study it carefully.

…………

the other side,

Toyokawa Shoko was anxious.

"We must leave immediately..."

She rushed downstairs, then looked around the house, checking what she wanted to take with her.
