Chapter 2004 Purification
This was why Masato, despite his advanced age and lack of involvement in Watanabe family affairs,
remained the soul of the family. It was Kawano's presence that allowed Masato to enjoy his old age innovelbin
peace.
As soon as Ryosuke had sat down, the door was knocked on, and then it opened again. Soon, Asuka
walked in. Upon seeing the situation, Asuka was also taken aback, especially when he saw Ryosuke
there, and conflicting emotions began to swell within him.
“You both arrived just in time. Please have a seat,” Masato said, waving his hand.
Everyone sat down and waited for Masato to speak. No one dared to show any signs of disrespect,
knowing that even the slightest movement would be met with Kawano's sharp katana.
“I've received news from the Thousand Crane Shrine that we, the Watanabe family, need to deliver our
resources and funds earlier this year,” Masato spoke slowly.
“Grandpa, I've already prepared the resources and funds, and they can be delivered at any time,”
Ryosuke replied immediately. With the election approaching, Ryosuke needed to show off his
capabilities.
“Good!” Masato nodded and continued, “I heard that our samurais had clashed with the Chanaean
government some time ago and killed many of their officials. Is that true?”
“Yes, I investigated this matter too. It was Asuka who ordered people to hunt down some enemies in
Chanaea, which led to a conflict with the Chanaea authorities and resulted in a negative impact on our
family. I have sent someone to Chanaea to explain this matter.”
Ryosuke immediately recounted everything he knew to Masato when the latter mentioned the incident.
He wanted to use this matter to prevent Asuka from competing with him for the position of head of the
family.
At this moment, there was no brotherly relationship between them.
Asuka glared at his older brother and began to explain, “Grandpa, I—”
However, Masato interrupted with a wave of his hand.
“Asuka, you did well. The Watanabe family will not be bullied by anyone. We will seek revenge,
especially when facing the people of Chanaea,” Masato said, leaving Asuka stunned.
The latter quickly nodded and said, “I will follow your advice, Grandpa.”
Ryosuke was also taken aback because he had wanted to suppress Asuka with this matter, but his
plan backfired. Masato then looked at Ryosuke coldly and said, “As the head of the Watanabe family,
you even took the initiative to apologize, which has damaged our family's reputation. I also heard that
you sent your daughter to study in Chanaea. You seem to have forgotten what blood flows in your
veins.”
Subsequently, the old man added, “Now that your daughter has been contaminated, she must be sent
to the shrine to be purified...”
What Masato said shocked Ryosuke to the core. It felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Everyone got up and left, and Ryosuke had no choice but to do the same. As soon as he stepped out,
he saw Asuka looking at him with a mocking smile on his face.
