Chapter 1723

As Takahashi Machi finally made his decision, Eikichi’s operation had also been completed.

Seeing his son who had both his arms cast in plaster being pushed out of the operating room by the doctor, Machi felt a tug in his heart.

At this moment, he was filled with rage and wanted to smash the face of the b*stard who had injured his son.

But after contemplating carefully, he realized that the most important thing to do now is to get the cooperation of the Schulz family. Otherwise, if the Schulz family were to decide to collaborate with the Ito family, then his family would be in big trouble.

Due to this, Machi couldn’t bring himself to cause any trouble. Thus, he could only be patient and bear with it.

Fortunately, Fujibayashi Masatetsu had found the target and was currently on the lookout. He was eyeing him like a hawk! The probability of the target escaping was close to null and if he wanted him dead, it’s only a matter of time.

Takahashi Eikichi, who was still under the influence of the anesthesia, started breaking down and crying as he saw his father waiting outside the operating room. He felt moved and aggrieved as he shed tears.

“Father…Eikichi is an unfilial son…I’m so sorry for causing you so much trouble!”

Machi waved his hand and exclaimed, “It’s not your fault. Just rest well for these two days. Once your condition has stabilized, I’ll fetch you home so that you can have a good long rest.”

Eikichi nodded quickly.

Normally, children would tend to realize the comfort and warmth of a family after experiencing some pain in the outside world.

Eikichi’s only wish then was to go home to tend to his wounds.

At this moment, someone came running over to Takahashi Machi and spoke respectfully. “Chairman! Ito Yahiko has sent flowers and a fruit basket to express their condolences…”

“Ito Yahiko?!” As soon as Takahashi Machi heard those words, his brow immediately frowned.

He immediately yelled, “Huh! Based on what I’ve gathered about that b*stard, Ito Yahiko, he has purposely sent those flowers and fruit baskets to insult me! Laughing at me as if this is some kind of joke! Last time, his daughter had been badly injured during the world martial arts tournament held at Oskia and was recuperating in Kyoto hospital. I took the initiative to send them flowers and fruits to mock them. I didn’t expect them to be able to retaliate that quickly!”

Eikichi, who had both his arms in casts, shouted angrily, “Father! That old b*stard, Ito Yahiko, is a very calculative person! He'll get revenge when he gets the chance! He threw all the flowers and the fruit basket that you gave him in the past into the bin. Now, he’s sending the same gifts back to us! I’ve embarrassed myself this time round and I’m unsure as to what other tricks will this old fart use to humiliate me in the near future!”

Takahashi Machi smiled awkwardly and tried to comfort Eikichi. “My son, don’t get angry. Maybe Ito Yahiko doesn’t mean it this way. Maybe he’s sincerely trying to express his condolences?”

Eikichi asked Machi. “Do you truly believe that, father? When his daughter was injured, what were your intentions in sending those flowers and fruit baskets? Wasn’t it to mock them and hopefully they’ll put on a good show for you?”

Machi sneered. “You’re right. I was indeed trying to mock him…”

Eikichi then said with a saddened expression, “The video of Nanako’s defeat and how she had sustained the injury was widely spread all over Japan. The shocking part is that the Japanese respect her and love her, so she even has so many fans who wished her well and even defended her on the Internet. As for me…The whole of Japan is laughing at me! I’ve really humiliated myself beyond salvation…”

As he was speaking, his mind began to crumble. The more he thought, the more he started to fall into depression and it was getting hard for him to hold back his sadness and tears.

No one could blame him for his weakness. He used to be known as the ‘husband material of Japan’ and countless girls were crazily in love with him, calling him their husband on online platforms.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he was beaten into a pulp in front of the whole country. This incident could be classified as his biggest humiliation. Moreover, it was impossible to regain the dignity he had lost.
