Chapter 525: Chapter 524 Support

Fujiwara Hosokai was slightly stunned, clearly not expecting Ukawa Taro to ask such a question at a ti like this.

Then her brows furrowed as she spoke, "Now that our family is facing a major crisis, all previous issues, no matter how significant, seem trivial in comparison."

Ukawa Taro looked into his mother’s eyes.

Fujiwara Hosokai also looked at him and changed the topic, saying, "The future of the Ukawa Family rests entirely on you. The efforts your grandfather devoted his lifeti to must not be handed over to soone else. As long as you return, even if others in the clan harbor ambitions, they will have to hide them for the ti being, and I have already requested help from your maternal grandfather’s family."

Ukawa Taro’s expression changed slightly, he frowned and said, "This is an internal matter of the Ukawa Family, the Fujimura Family should not interfere. Mother, doing this goes against the ancestral teachings."

Fujiwara Hosokai was unperturbed, "What does it matter at this point? The position of my son as Clan Leader is what’s most important."

"I grew up overseas since I was a child and I have no interest in managing family affairs," Ukawa Taro said with a frown.

"Nonsense, at a ti like this, as the legitimate heir of the Ukawa Family, how can you ignore the future of the family? In a mont, your maternal grandfather and your uncles will co over, and all you need to do then is call out, and the uncles in the family will definitely not dare to be reckless. If they dare to contest with you, then kill them. The future of the Ukawa Family cannot be left in the hands of those incompetents," Fujiwara Hosokai’s tone suddenly beca harsh.

Ukawa Taro felt a chill in his heart as he perceived an inexplicable authority emanating from his mother.

No, it was a pressure.

A form of intangible oppression swept over him, causing his heart to race.

This was the first ti he had seen his mother angry.

In his mory, his mother was a gentle and compliant woman who never interfered in major family matters, acting gently and virtuously among his grandfather, father, and his brothers, never having seen her angry before.

Ukawa Taro couldn’t help but feel a bit lost in thought, finding the mother before him sowhat unfamiliar.

Fujiwara Hosokai seed to realize her lapse and adjusted her mood, continuing in that gentle tone to persuade, "Taro, listen to your mother. If you can’t stand up and take control at a ti like this, the Ukawa Family will head towards decline."

Ukawa Taro remained silent.

Since leaving Japan at the age of fifteen, he had little contact with the family, and now with his grandfather and elder brother dead, he felt even less attachnt and emotion towards the family.

Deep down, he did not want to be the next Clan Leader of the Ukawa Family.

But as a descendant of the Ukawa Family, he carried a mission and bore responsibility.

It’s just that, facing his mother right now, he still had so doubts that had not been resolved.

Why would his mother, who always seed peaceful and virtuous, be so eager to support him in taking a position after the death of his grandfather and brother?

This was not like the mother he rembered.

"By the way, Taro, I heard that you made quite a few impressive friends overseas. Now that the family is in a crisis, why don’t you call upon these friends to co and help us through this difficult ti?" Fujiwara Hosokai suddenly said.

Ukawa Taro felt a chill in his heart as he looked up at his mother.

Hope filled Fujiwara Hosokai’s expression.

Ukawa Taro slowly shook his head, "I don’t have many friends, and those friends I do have are ordinary people, incapable of helping in this situation."

Fujiwara Hosokai’s brows knitted slightly, "But the news I’ve heard is sowhat different."

"What has mother heard?" Ukawa Taro asked.

Fujiwara Hosokai’s face showed a proud and self-satisfied look as she said, "They say you’re very capable and have ford a club with so like-minded friends. You’ve made quite a na for yourselves overseas, striking fear into people’s hearts, haven’t you, my son?"

Ukawa Taro asked, looking into his mother’s eyes, "Who told mother this?"

"Is it true?" Fujiwara Hosokai also looked into his eyes, mother and son locking gazes.

Ukawa Taro looked into his mother’s eyes but did not respond.

He found the mother before him increasingly unfamiliar.

At that mont, a voice ca from outside the room, "Madam, the people from the Fujiwara family have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Hosokai was overjoyed and, as she stood up, she said to Ukawa Taro, "Co, let’s go greet your grandfather and uncles. They will beco the people closest to you, helping you secure your position as the twenty-seventh Family Head of the Ukawa Family and inherit the precious wealth of the Ukawa Family."

Ukawa Taro felt a certain indescribable resistance within his heart, yet he still nodded and followed his mother out of the room.

In the outer hall, more than a dozen mbers of the Fujimura Family were orderly paying their respects to the ancestral shrine, led by an elderly man in a black kimono with a crew cut. The old man was very neat, and his hair, whether dyed or not, was still maintaining a healthy black.

His na was Fujiwara Momokawa, the current Clan Leader of the Fujimura Family.

In the Japan Martial World, although the Fujimura Family also had a long heritage, its overall strength was weaker compared to the Yamamoto, Kagaya, Yanagi, Iga, and Ukawa Families.

Accompanying Fujiwara Momokawa were his three sons, along with several key mbers of the Fujimura Family.

Almost all of the renowned experts from the Fujimura Family within the Japan Martial World were present here.

This caused several of the Ukawa Family elders who aspired to compete for the position of Family Head to frown in secret.

This woman, Fujiwara Hosokai, was perhaps too impatient. The Clan Leader and others had not yet been laid to rest, and she was starting to fight for power already?

"Father!"

Fujiwara Hosokai approached the front of the hall, and looking grief-stricken, rushed to the side of the Fujimura Family mbers. Fujiwara Momokawa gently embraced her, consoling, "As things stand, you must be strong, my poor daughter."

Having joined the Ukawa Family for six years, Fujiwara Hosokai’s husband had died; now in middle age, her eldest son had been killed. As a woman, her life indeed was hard.

Fujiwara Hosokai sobbed for a while, wiped her eyes and then said to Ukawa Taro, "Taro, co and et your maternal grandfather and uncles. Today, they are here to decide for you."

As soon as these words were spoken, they imdiately brought dissatisfaction from the other mbers of the Ukawa Family.

A middle-aged man with a tuft of a goatee who seed to be in his fifties took a few large strides forward, his face cold as he said, "Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you speaking? How can outsiders be the ones to make decisions for our Ukawa Family affairs?"

"Indeed, the family affairs of the Ukawa Family should not be interfered with by outsiders," another middle-aged man stood up and joined in.

Suddenly, many mbers of the Ukawa Family began to agree out loud.

For the vast majority of the Ukawa Family, family matters were to be resolved behind closed doors, and to let outsiders ddle was a disgrace. Fujiwara Hosokai’s words had made them quite dissatisfied.

"Heh, Fujiwara Momokawa, given your longstanding friendship with our father, your presence here to pay respects and mourn is sothing all of us in the Ukawa Family deeply appreciate. However, I hope you will refrain from intervening in the family affairs of the Ukawa Family," said the goatee-bearded middle-aged man, looking at Fujiwara Momokawa.

Fujiwara Momokawa frowned slightly, staring at the goatee-bearded man, "Ukawa Nishio, your elder brother Ukawa Hao was the eldest son of the clan, and upon his death, your father took his legitimate eldest son under his wing to nurture him and designated him as the next Clan Leader of the Ukawa Family. Do you have any objections to this?"

Ukawa Nishio’s heart went cold as he replied, "So what if I do?"

Fujiwara Momokawa chuckled lightly and, pointing at Ukawa Taro, said, "Now that your father and the successor he designated have both been killed, according to the rules, the next Clan Leader of the Ukawa Family should be succeeded by the child of my eldest granddaughter, right?"

Ukawa Nishio snorted, "He only left behind a daughter, who is still of a young age, how can she take over as the Family Head?"

"True, the Ukawa Family is in tis of crisis; we cannot let a child take over as Clan Leader."

"At this critical mont, soone must lead the Family Head out of trouble and avenge the Clan Leader. The position of the new Clan Leader should only be filled by the deserving."

Several elders of the Ukawa Family began to speak one after another.

Fujiwara Momokawa smiled and said, "Indeed, my young grandson Ukawa Taro is a rare talent with personal capabilities and cultivation that surpass those of his elder brother. Now, he is the most suitable to succeed his grandfather and brother as the next leader of the Ukawa Family. My Fujimura Family will fully support him to avenge his grandfather and brother."
