Chapter 223 - 223: Intuition, Resolve & Deal
In such a delicate, important, and dangerous situation this young woman and had sprouted some things that might have just made things worse.
After all, even the two guys standing by his side that were the two vice heads of the Yakuza family, and the two people that most opposed Hatake Fujiwara in the organization, were here with him.
These two guys would usually just fight against him for the smallest reasons, trying to get one over him and rob the place of the head from him.
But right now, even these two were by his side and were looking at her with the same cold, and scary eyes.
There had been no occasion of this happening in the past, besides the moment that they were facing against the 5 big families of Japan.
Their presence in this place demonstrated that the deal with this worthless fly in Aman Fujiwara's eyes was on the same standing as the 5 big families.
This was certainly something that she would have never thought possible! After all, what could Eric possibly present, or offer to them that was on the same level as the 5 big families?
The next moment though happened something that completely shocked her even more, as her father Hatake Fujiwara bowed down to Eric, and said in a solemn voice,
"Young Master Eric, I don't know what my foolish daughter has told you, but please hear us out!"
Her father was bowing down to this young man in front of her without even caring about his dignity and pride, as he asked for an opportunity to be heard.
This was completely unexpected and shocking to her, but this wasn't the end as even the two vice-heads behind her father did the same.
Just what in the love of God was happening in there! Since when had there been such a figure that would make these guys bow their heads in front of a young man like Eric!
At the moment her jaw was on the ground, she was unable to believe all this situation. It was completely out of her expectations after all.
Eric, on the other hand, seemed to be calmer than her, even though he was a bit surprised by what was going on as well.
At this moment, Kirigaya Kaito appeared behind him, and with the same bowing style as the Yakuza head, he said towards Eric with a pleading voice,
"Master please hear them out! I can vouch for them!"
Hearing that, Eric turned his head to look at him a bit surprised, but this made the whole situation a lot clearer, and reasonable.
If Kirigaya Kaito was the one who might have given them a few hints, then it was completely understandable for them to show such an attitude.
But still, there was an unclear thing in the middle, and that was the relationship between Kirigaya Kaito, and the Yakuza head, so he immediately asked,
"Might I know why you are vouching for him Kaito!?"
"The Yakuza head is an old friend of mine, as well as a benefactor of mine Master! He is a man of his words and morale.
I am willing to place my head as a guarantee for him!"
Those words were truly big for someone like Kirigaya Kaito to talk about, so this whole situation piqued Eric's interest, as he turned towards the guests and said,
"Well I don't mind hearing from you, but let me tell you this, as I already have an idea of your proposal, and it wasn't really convincing!"
Hatake Fujiwara was happy to have received the favor, but when he heard that second part he couldn't help but send a deep deadly stare to his daughter.
This normally calm, and intelligent young woman, had gone forward and done such a stupid thing so suddenly, there was no way he couldn't have some anger towards her.
Still, he managed to recollect himself rather quickly, as he raised his head and gave a thankful look towards his old friend Kirigaya Kaito, and then to the young man upholding their fate, Eric.
Whoever saw Eric at first glance would never think that this guy was such an important, and valuable individual. His looks were good but that was all he had at first glance.
Still, the information he had couldn't be wrong, as it was handed over to him from those guys, and they wouldn't joke around about something like this.
Taking a deep breath to further calm himself down, he started speaking,
"Young Master Eric, the Yakuza has decided to give everything it possesses, and everything it has to you entirely, including our organization's power, assets, and the lives of all its members!
You will become the Sun and God to us!"
This guy was certainly a sweet talker, he had just said the same words that his daughter had said, just that he sounded more grandiose.
Eric wasn't easily swayed by words, as he didn't even lose his composure for a single moment as he said,
"Master Fujiwara you are offering the same building as your daughter, only that yours has a better front."
He paused for a moment, and then continued,
"Well, not that I don't like your offer, but there are some things I want to be sure about!
First, how much of the organization and its members do the three of you present!
And second, are you truly sure about your decision!?"
Fujiwara Hatake was a bit taken aback by the sudden question, but looking at his daughter, he must have understood what she had blabbered about, and decided to speak honestly!
"We represent only 65-70% of the organization, the rest either have a hidden agenda or don't want to let everything fall into your hands!
As for the second question, I was around 70% sure about this decision on my way here, based on my old friend's words, but now I am more than 85% sure about this.
Call it a premonition, or intuition but now I am assured that the Yakuza will bloom under your leadership!"
He truly felt like this, there was something about Eric that made him feel like this would be worth it, and his instincts had never failed him.
Eric's senses were truly sharp, and he could 'sense' a guy true or lie only from their heartbeat, but Fujiwara Hatake was many levels above him so it was impossible for him to do so.
Even though this guy seemed to be honest at first glance, he still didn't dare to believe it, but he could pretend as he did.
"Oh~! It seemed like you are truly sincere Master Fujiwara, just let me tell you that I have no intention of getting myself into more complicated situations at the moment.
I truly appreciate your offer, but if I haven't total control and loyalty then it's nothing more than a waste of my time, and efforts!
You understand what I mean right!?"
Fujiwara Hatake was a smart man, and he had expected something like this, in fact, he would have asked the same.
If it weren't for the fact that he was stuck in a difficult situation and stalemate with the 5 big families, and the situation at the organization, he would have already cleared up these flies.
Now that Eric asked for it, it just gave him a bigger push to do it, and clean his home from all these impurities, so he said with a confident, and resolved voice,
"Understood Master Eric, I will have it done by next week!"
Eric liked his decisive character, resolve, and determination, as he started looking at the guy with a different look, and then continued,
"Then what if I ask you to undress your daughter right here, right now, and let me have her right here, right now!?"
This time he didn't waste his words, as he just went towards his daughter that had been completely shocked until now, not understanding the least of what was going in there, and only said,
"I am sorry, but this is for the survival of our family! I know I am a worthless, and useless father, but I can't allow our family to burn down, and crumble in my hands!"
After that, he didn't wait for an answer, as he immediately grabbed her clothes, and pulled strongly, as he ripped them in tatters.
'Aaahh~!'
Fujiwara Amane still didn't understand what her father meant when she felt him rip his clothes in just one move.
This was completely out of her expectations, as no matter what she was his daughter right!? His only daughter left behind for him from the love of his life before death.
No matter how much he fell, he wouldn't fall that low right!? He would rip her clothes with his own hands, and then watch as she got raped by Eric in front of all of them.
This should be impossible!
But that wasn't the end of it, as immediately her body in undergarments was there in display for everyone to see, he went for her undergarments.
But he was stopped just as he grabbed her bra, as he heard Eric say in a decisive voice,
"Stop, that's enough!
I don't want to meaninglessly kill my subjects as soon as they pledge their loyalty to me!
You can leave now, you have yourself a deal when you complete the first condition. We will talk more about this later!
Leave your daughter behind though, there are some more things I want to talk about with her!"
Master Fujiwara was startled by Eric's order and words, but at the same time, he was relieved! It was just as Eric said, if he had allowed him to continue stripping his daughter naked, then he would go into a killing spree.
Even though he would probably die before killing Eric, he would still do everything he could in that direction!
He didn't mind giving his daughter to Eric, but he didn't want to taint and humiliate his daughter with the eyes of those other people in there.
In that line of thought, he just acknowledged Eric's words, as he got out followed by the vice-heads, and Kirigaya Kaito!
