Chapter 1724

He was afraid that even killing Charlie wouldn’t help him restore his dignity. After all, the horrifying beating which he had endured was already known to every Japanese in Japan. It was already rooted deeply within the hearts of the people.

Machi’s expression turned sour and he was thinking of ways to comfort his son. During that moment, his cell phone rang.

Machi took out his cell phone and saw an unfamiliar number. He pressed on the answer button and answered the call.

From the other side of the call, a familiar voice rang. It was Ito Yahiko!

“Oh, Brother Machi! I heard that Eikichi was beaten up by someone in Tokyo today?”

Yahiko’s voice seemed to be somewhat concerned at first but anyone with a brain could have figured out that it was actually sarcasm.

Machi replied with a blackened face. “Yahiko, I remember saving your number. Did you change it?”

“No.” Tahiko replied with a cheerful tone. “My number is still the same. This is my personal assistant’s cell phone. I was afraid that you might not pick up if I were to call you using my own number. Afraid that once you see my name showing on the caller ID, you will be too embarrassed to pick up. Hahaha!”

Machi’s expression darkened instantly.

Yahiko was right. If he knew it was him who was calling, even if it means life and death, he wouldn’t have answered the phone.

Unexpectedly, this piece of garbage is quite good. He had purposely used a new number to call Machi in order not to raise any suspicion just to personally mock him on the phone?

Yahiko noticed that Machi did not reply and immediately continued speaking with a smile. “Oh, Machi. Why are you not talking? Are you feeling a little unhappy and unable to swallow the humiliation that your son was beaten up in front of your own house? Feeling a little embarrassed?”

Machi could no longer hold his tongue. Thus, he asked, “Yahiko, is there anything you want to discuss? If there’s no problem then I want to cut out the call now!”

“Don’t!” Yahiko said with a smile. “Machi, I called mainly because I feel a sense of unjust for you and your son! You see, when my daughter was wounded, the entire Japan was worried for her, and they tried to comfort and encourage her. Whereas for your son, when he was wounded, the entire Japan was laughing at him. The online community was especially toxic towards him. How could the treatment be so vastly different, am I right?”

Machi gritted his teeth angrily and replied coldly. “Yahiko, I want you to scram as far away from me as possible! Don’t let me see you ever again!”

Yahiko heard Machi’s cursing and smiled even wider. “Machi, there’s an idiom that describes you perfectly now. Do you know what it is?”

Machi scolded, “I don’t give a flying f*ck about some stupid idiom! F*ck you!”

After finished scolding, Machi hung up the call!

Not long after the call was cut, he received a message on his phone.

The content of the message is, “Brother Machi, don’t say that I, as a brother, didn’t advise you, but do keep in mind to change your bad temper. Or else, you will suffer whatever your son has just been through! Eikichi is still young, so losing both limbs doesn't mean anything to him, but you, on the other hand, are of a certain age. You might not recover from such injuries.”

After reading the message, Machi’s rage flared up and he was burning with anger.

During this time, the phone received another text message.

It was from Yahiko. “Oh right, the idiom used to best describe you right now is ‘A cornered dog.’”

Machi was furious but he had nowhere to vent. He slammed his phone to the ground where it shattered into pieces. He scolded hysterically.

“Yahiko! You disgusting b*stard! If I don’t take revenge, I will regret this for the rest of my life!”

During this moment, Machi knew in his heart that this was the moment he experienced his first murderous intent towards Yahiko.
