Chapter 1727

The moment Sophie heard the words that were spoken by Machi, she couldn’t help but raise her brow.

In her heart she couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

Yesterday, Father just had a conference to collaborate with one of their families to eradicate the other family. Why would the Takahashi family suddenly offer the idea of collaborating with us to eradicate the Ito family today?! Did Takahashi Machi eavesdrop on the three-way conversation?

Sophie felt that maybe her hypothesis might not be too far-fetched.

In her mind, she thought.

Yesterday, before they entered the hotel, the bodyguards had already made a thorough inspection. It was confirmed that the room had no eavesdropping bugs nor any recorders. Nevertheless, this is Tokyo. This is the Takahashi family’s area. If he wants to eavesdrop on my brother and I, then it shouldn’t be too difficult to pull off…

Jaime too felt suspicious, wondering if Machi had eavesdropped on them.

However, due to Machi’s presence, Jaime couldn’t discuss with his sister at this moment. Therefore, he decided to signal to her with a wink.

Sophie didn’t make a sound and nodded ever so lightly. She then turned to Machi and said dully, “Mr. Takahashi, why do you want to completely eradicate the Ito family?”

Machi replied with a rage in his voice. “That piece of shit Ito Yahiko deserves death! He has been opposing me all the while. I’d be fine with it if it was merely just business conflict, but now, he even dares to threaten me and my family! He even went as far as to humiliate me and degrade my dignity!”

Machi went on and blurted out the flower and fruit basket incident to them. He even included the insulting and humiliating telephone call which he had received.

After blurting out all the information in fury, he continued to scold in an angry manner. “This Yahiko! He played my son as a fool! This is too much to bear! This has gone overboard! That’s why I came up with this idea during my visit to the hospital. In the future, Tokyo can only have one family—it’s either his family or mine!”

Machi was no fool. He knew that if he were to raise the matter of eradicating the Ito family, it would raise the suspicion of the Schulz family that he might have eavesdropped on their conversation.

Therefore, he deliberately exaggerated his words as he was mentioning Ito Yahiko. He purposely acted all furious and even added the proper expression into his acting. One could say that he was indeed a very talented actor with impressive acting skills.

He thought that if the Schulz family were to believe his words, then not only would they not feel suspicious towards him but they would also see him as an ally…

If everything were to go according to his plan, then it would be very natural for the Schulz family to choose him as the most suitable candidate to cooperate with.

Sophie listened to everything he has got to say and then sighed with relief.

Obviously, she believed the words that Machi had said. The reason for this is because everything he said sounds so fluent and true.

Machi’s son was indeed injured and at the same time, he became the laughing stock of all of Japan. This itself would have been a good reason for Machi to be furious. Plus, Ito Yahiko had purposely added fuel to the fire and laughed at his misery. It was only natural for him to be furious about it.

Thinking about all these, she smiled a little and replied, “Mr. Takahashi, I think it’s best if we discuss our partnership first. As for the term you’ve mentioned, I’m quite certain that everyone wouldn’t mind discussing it as well if the partnership goes off without a problem.”

Machi replied instantly with enthusiasm “That will be great! Ms. Schulz, don’t you worry! I can assure you that the Takahashi family will be the best choice! I am a hundred percent, no, two hundred percent sure! Sincerely!”

As Machi, Jaime, and Sophie were discussing the details of their collaboration, Charlie and his group arrived in Yokohama and they went straight to the Kobayashi Pharma production factory.

Graham’s medicinal materials had already arrived two hours prior to their arrival.

Therefore, Ichiro and Liam began organizing the workers at the Yokohama production factory to conduct the production trial of the Apothecary Stomach Pills.

The trial went smoothly and at about four o’clock in the afternoon, the first batch of Apothecary Stomach Pills were produced.

Soon after, Charlie and his group continued their journey to Nagoya, the most important city in central Japan.

When they arrived at Nagoya, it was already late in the evening.
