Takeda Dairo would never truly force his daughter to commit seppuku. With a disappointed expression, he continued, "Kyouko, considering your contributions to the family and the fact that you are about to get married, I will spare you from seppuku this time. However, while your death sentence is commuted, your living punishment cannot be avoided. Your position in the family company is hereby suspended. Take some time to reflect."
Takeda Kyoko said nothing; any words she could muster felt utterly powerless at this moment. She understood her father's cold, unyielding nature—he showed no mercy, even to family. Yet, they had truly underestimated Jiang Chen, which left her feeling anxious. However, tonight she could not voice her concerns any further.
With a deep sigh, Takeda Kyoko estimated that on the night of her wedding in two days, Jiang Chen would come to the Takeda Family. At that time, with their current attitude, many would surely suffer. Perhaps only after witnessing Jiang Chen's true strength and his ruthless nature would they believe her words from tonight. She hoped that news of what had transpired at Senso-ji in the afternoon would reach her family through other channels, convincing them of Jiang Chen's power—perhaps it was not too late.
That evening, Tengye Kikuko mentioned a party and invited Jiang Chen to join her. With nothing else to do, Jiang Chen agreed. Thus, Tengye Kikuko took him back to her home first.
Tengye Kikuko's house was located in a villa area in Kyoto and could not compare to the sprawling estate of the Takeda Family. However, living here still indicated that the Tengye Family possessed some strength and heritage.
As soon as Tengye Kikuko entered her home with Jiang Chen, she noticed her family looking at her with dark expressions. Their gazes toward Jiang Chen were particularly unfriendly.
"Kikuko, where did you go this afternoon?" a middle-aged woman dressed in a kimono asked sternly.
This woman was Tengye Kikuko's mother—a traditional and strict woman.
"I went to Senso-ji with this friend from Huaxia. What’s wrong, Mother?" Tengye Kikuko replied, feeling uneasy under the oppressive atmosphere.
"This is your friend? Since when did you have such a male friend from Huaxia? I had no idea," Tengye Kikuko's mother said as she shot an unfriendly glance at Jiang Chen.
"He's a friend of Yue Hui’s. I’m just acting as his translator at Yue Hui's request," Tengye Kikuko explained.
"You should keep your distance from him. Murata Kazuki just called," Tengye Kikuko's mother warned.
"What did he say this time?" Tengye Kikuko's expression darkened; she had had enough of Murata Kazuki's harassment.
"You know well what you did together at the Ginza restaurant at noon. This young man has offended Murata Kazuki; it’s best for you to stay away from him to avoid being dragged into trouble. Murata Kazuki has made threats and will not let this go easily," Tengye Kikuko's mother said seriously.
"Mother, you may not know this friend from Huaxia is named Jiang Chen and is no ordinary person. Mr. Jiang came to Island Nation seeking something from the Takeda Family. Murata Kazuki approached the Takeda Family, who sent Takeda Kyoko along with Ishii Ansei and Yamato Zawafu to deal with him but failed miserably! Ishii Ansei and Yamato Zawafu were killed!" Tengye Kikuko stated.
Upon hearing that Jiang Chen had killed Ishii Ansei and Yamato Zawafu, members of the Tengye Family were stunned but remained worried.
"Even if Mr. Jiang is highly skilled, we cannot rely on him as our protector! He is Huaxia People and will eventually return to Huaxia. Murata Kazuki is very displeased with you right now; he has lost his patience and demands that you marry him within a week. Otherwise, he will retaliate against our Tengye Family," Tengye Kikuko's mother said with a grave expression after recovering from her shock.
