Ryosuke hastily stepped forward and sputtered, “Mr. Chance, I-I didn't realize you were a deity! | have been a fool. | should not have taken you lightly!”
He would have worshiped Jared on an altar had he known the latter was a deity earlier. “A deity?” Jared was baffled by Ryosuke's words.
Flaxseed noticed his confusion and briefly explained the situation to him. Only then did Jared realize that this was one of Fandor's tricks.Belongs to - All rights reserved.
Jetroinians were well-known for their superstitious beliefs in deities.
In any case, Jared had just experienced a breakthrough and was eager to test out his improved abilities. He did not bother correcting Ryosuke's misconception and declared, “Please bring me to meet Asuka, Mr. Ryosuke.”
“Of course!” Ryosuke nodded eagerly. Ryosuke's mansion was barely a mile away from Asuka's, and the group soon arrived at their destination. Asuka and his son, Haruto, happened to be staring in the direction of Ryosuke's mansion.
A perplexed Haruto asked his father, “What's going on, Father? We barely arrived, and it looks as if a heavy thunderstorm is imminent.”
Asuka frowned slightly and replied, “That can't be right. | didn't hear of any incoming thunderstorms on our way here. How can the weather change in an instant? Let's not worry about that for now. Get everything in order and head to your great- grandfather's. The elections are starting soon, and | must secure my position as the next head of the Watanabe family.”
Then, Asuka returned to his room. Not long after that, Ryosuke arrived at his mansion with Jared in tow. Jared glanced at the front door. With a single kick, he smashed the pure bronze door into debris.
The commotion alerted the guards in Asuka's household. More than ten men armed with katanas rushed toward the front door, surrounding Jared in seconds.
Asuka stomped out of his room furiously, though anger quickly turned to confusion when he spotted his elder brother with an unknown young man in the center of the crowd.
He asked, “Ryosuke, what is the meaning of this? Did you bring someone here to smash down my door?”
“I'm not here to destroy your door; I'm here to see you. Haven't you always wished to avenge your son? This man here is your enemy,” Ryosuke explained and pointed at Jared.
Asuka stiffened in surprise. He looked at Jared and frowned. “This man is Jared Chance?”
Jared nodded in affirmation. “In flesh and blood. | was the one who killed Ichiro Watanabe.”
“That's impossible!” Asuka's disbelief was palpable as he continued, “Kazuo killed Jared a long time ago. How can he still be alive?”
Jared merely smirked and drawled, “Don't believe me? Why don't you call Kazuo and ask the man himself? Do you really think someone like him could actually kill me?”
Asuka's expression darkened at Jared's words. With a knowing glance, he sent Haruto off to call Kazuo and confirm Jared's allegations.
Alas, none of Haruto's calls went through. Asuka’s eyes narrowed thoughtfully. He was beginning to believe Jared's claims.
He shot Ryosuke an accusatory glare and demanded, “You're the head

He waved his hand and summoned his guards. “Get them! Kill that man!”
