Even if he truly had killed Charlie, it would have been futile. The horror of the beating was already well-known among the Japanese people, leaving a deep scar in their hearts.


    Machi Takahashi wore a grim expression as he pondered how to console his son when suddenly, his cell phone rang. He nced at the screen, noting the unfamiliar number, and reluctantly pressed the button to answer.


    To his surprise, it was Ito Yuhiko’s voice on the other end.


    “Hello, Brother Takahashi! I heard that Lord Eiji was beaten in Tokyo today?”


    At first, Ito Yuhiko’s tone seemed to convey concern, but anyone with a bit of intelligence could tell it was dripping with sarcasm.<fndb6e> Th?s chapter is updated by f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fndb6e><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Machi Takahashi’s expression darkened as he replied, “Ito, I thought I saved your number. Did you change it?”


    “Nope,” Ito replied, chuckling. “My number is still the same. I’m using my assistant’s phone. I didn’t want to call you from my own. You see my name, right? Sorry to disturb you! Hahaha!”


    Machi Takahashi’s mood soured immediately.


    Ito Yuhiko was right; had he known it was this call, he would have let it go to voicemail. It was unbelievable that this man had the audacity to mock him like this.


    Noticing Takahashi’s silence, Ito Yuhiko continued with a smirk, “Oh, Takahashi, why the quiet? Are you embarrassed about how your son was humiliated right at your doorstep?”


    Unable to tolerate it any longer, Takahashi retorted, “Ito, what do you want? If there’s nothing important, I’m hanging up!”


    “Don’t!” Ito eximed cheerfully, “I mostly called to point out how worthless you and your son must feel! Look, when my daughter was hurt, the entire nation rallied around her. But after your son was injured, everyoneughed! How can there be such a stark difference?”


    Takahashi gritted his teeth in anger and replied coldly, “Ito Yuhiko, just how low can you stoop? I swear, I hope I never see you again!”


    Ito chuckled at Takahashi’s anger, saying, “There’s a Chinese idiom that perfectly describes your situation. Do you know what it is?”


    Machi Takahashi snapped, “I don’t want to hear it! Get lost!”


    With that, he ended the call in frustration.


    However, momentster, he received a text message.


    The message read: “Brother Takahashi, don’t me me for not warning you. You really need to change your attitude; otherwise, you might face the same fate as your son! Eiji is young, and breaking two arms isn’t the end, but if you’re older and break both arms, you might never recover!”


    This message sent Takahashi into a rage.


    Just then, another text arrived from Takehiko Ito: “Oh, and about that Chinese idiom I mentioned, it fits you perfectly: ‘A fool jumps over the wall!’”


    Furious and with no outlet for his anger, Takahashi mmed his phone to the ground, shattering it into pieces. He shouted in a frenzy, “Ito Yuhiko, you despicable bastard! Just wait; I swear Takahashi will have his revenge!”


    At that moment, for the first time, a murderous intent towards Ito Yuhiko stirred in Takahashi’s heart!<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
