Due to the current wife’s disapproval of Matsumoto’s eldest son, Matsumoto made the difficult decision to expel him from the family after marrying, allowing him to live with his ex-wife.


    Years went by, and Matsumoto’s second wife brought him joy with the birth of twins. As time passed, he found himself rarely thinking about his ex-wife or eldest son.


    However, tonight, Ryoto Matsumoto began to reminisce about his past rtionships, and for the first time in a long while, he felt a flicker offort in his heart.


    At least he found sce in knowing that after his death, the Matsumoto family legacy would endure, as his eldest son would continue the lineage.


    For Matsumoto Ryoto, nothing could bring him morefort than this realization.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The young woman from the Banks Family seemed to sense his inner turmoil.<fn6151> This update is avable on find?novel</fn6151>


    With a yful smile, she addressed Matsumoto, saying, “Mr. Matsumoto, I’ve heard that you have a son?”


    Matsumoto was momentarily stunned and eximed, “I don’t! Who told you that? It’s impossible!”


    The woman chuckled: “We’re all adults here; there’s no need to feel embarrassed about such a poorly crafted lie.”


    Her tone shifted as she continued coldly, “Your eldest son’s name is Matsumoto Taro. After you kicked him out, he took on your ex-wife’s surname, Kurosawa, and now goes by Kurosawa Shota. He’s twelve years old and lives in Yamanashi Prefecture, not far from Tokyo. Am I correct?”


    Matsumoto felt as though he had been struck by lightning upon hearing her words.


    After a moment, tears filled his eyes, and he sank to the ground, trembling as he pleaded, “Please, don’t harm my son. He’s my only child. If he dies, the Matsumoto family will bepletely extinguished. I beg you to spare him! I’ll do anything!”


    In desperation, Matsumoto pressed his forehead against the hard marble floor, his heart heavy with regret and hopelessness. Knowing his familyy lifeless nearby, he realized he had no means to save them, and his only wish was to ensure his eldest son’s survival.


    As he bowed, he poured all his sincerity into each gesture, hoping to sway the icy woman before him.


    After knocking his head three times, his forehead was already covered in blood.


    Yet, he didn’t stop; he continued to bow until his forehead was a bloody mess, nearly losing consciousness from the pain.


    With gritted teeth, Ryoto Matsumoto struggled to remain upright, choking out, “Please! I implore you! Please grant my one request!!!”


    The woman simply smiled and replied, “I’m sorry, but it’s toote. Just five minutes ago, Shota Kurosawa was poisoned and has died!”


    Upon hearing this, Ryoto Matsumotopletely fell apart. He raised his head and screamed in despair, “Why! Why are you destroying my Matsumoto family?! Why are you doing this to me?!”


    The woman sneered, saying, “This is the consequence of angering the Banks Family!”


    In that moment, Ryoto Matsumoto was consumed by sorrow, his tears mingling with blood, creating a haunting image.


    He had lost all hope and murmured, “Just kill me now!”


    The woman nodded, pulling a white jade sunflower seed from her pocket, and said calmly, “Ryoman Matsumoto, before you die, I want you to remember my name: Xion Banks!”


    With a swift motion, she flicked her wrist, sending the jade seed flying.


    In an instant, a small hole appeared in the center of Matsumoto’s forehead, and he copsed to the ground, devoid of life!<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
