I must say, Zayne’s acting abilities are quite impressive.
If not for Yuhiko Ito’s awareness of Zayne’s true character, one could easily be fooled by his cheerful and amicable demeanor.
Despite feeling disgusted internally, Ito maintained hisposure on the outside, forcing a smile as he said, “Mr. Banks, you are too kind. I had nned to personally greet you at the airport and arrange your amodations while you are here. I didn’t anticipate encountering so many unexpected events.”
Zayne quickly replied, “Oh no, Mr. Ito, there’s no need for such formality. The friendship between the Banks Family and the Ito family goes back a long way. We will certainly continue to strengthen our cooperation and deepen our ties in the future. Why should we let minor issues hinder us?”
Seeing Zayne’s insincere facade made Ito want to vomit his breakfast, but he could only nod and agree, saying, “Mr. Banks is correct! There’s really no need to be overly formal…”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Feeling satisfied, Zayne responded earnestly, “Mr. Ito, although the recent chaos in Tokyo has been distressing and has caused you significant trouble, I must point out a crucial fact. When everything settles down, the Ito family will emerge as the biggest beneficiary.”
Yuhiko Ito understood the implications of Zayne’s words. He recognized that beyond stating the facts, Zayne was also hinting at his own interests. Currently, with his family embroiled in internal strife, Zayne was positioning himself to gain from it all.
In essence, Zayne was subtly reminding Ito not to overlook the assistance the Banks Family had provided.
However, Ito was reluctant to casually owe such favors.
Ultimately, the survival of the Ito family in this conflict wasn’t truly reliant on Zayne, but rather on Charlie!<fn520f> This update is avable on FindN()vel</fn520f>
Let’s not forget that without Charlie’s intervention, Zayne’s children would not have survived either!
If Charlie hadn’t rescued Fitz and Zara, and Zayne hadn’t protected the remains of his children, the real murderer might never have been uncovered.
This reality made Yuhiko Ito sigh deeply: “Oh, Mr. Banks, the Ito family has faced a perilous journey toe through this ordeal!”
As he spoke, he patted his thigh andmented, “Look at my legs, they’repletely ruined. If it weren’t for my loyal servant Tanaka pushing me to leap from the overpass, I would have been stabbed to death!”
In this statement, Yuhiko Ito was effectively making a point to Zayne: if he had survived, it had little to do with Zayne or the Banks Family.
Then, Yuhiko continued, “And my daughter also faced a ninja ambush in Kyoto, but thankfully, a skilled master came to her rescue. Otherwise, I would truly be mourning the loss of a loved one.”
As he mentioned this, Yuhiko feigned curiosity and asked, “By the way, Mr. Banks, it seems your children were also saved by that mysterious master in Kyoto?”
Hearing this, Zayne’s expression turned a bit somber.
What he intended to convey earlier was to acknowledge Yuhiko Ito’s sess in eliminating Machi Takahashi and Ryoto Matsumoto, attributing much of the credit to the help of a stranger.
Unexpectedly, the shrewd Yuhiko Ito had directly addressed the topic, implying that gratitude was unnecessary between them; both owed their thanks to the enigmatic master, as their children could have faced dire consequences without that intervention. Though Zayne felt a twinge of frustration, he couldn’t argue with Ito’s assertion. After all, it was indeed that mysterious individual who had saved his children. Zayne had even inquired with his son and daughter about the identity of that remarkable person—someone so capable, could they not be of use to him as well?
However, Zara had informed him that this mysterious figure seemed indifferent towards her and her brother. Their primary concern was to assist Yuhiko Ito’s daughter, Nanako, and they had pursued her attackers relentlessly.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
