Urban Invincible Ove Chapter 526 - 525 Something’s Wrong

Chapter 526: Chapter 525 Sothing’s Wrong

Fujiwara Momokawa’s voice echoed in the great hall, lingering for a long ti, and more than half of the Ukawa Family chose to remain silent.

Clearly, the performance of Ukawa Taro over the past few days had won the recognition of many mbers of the clan. Coupled with the fact that he was the biological grandson of the previous Family Head and now had the support of his maternal grandfather, Fujiwara Momokawa, who led the entire Fujiwara family, these Ukawa Family mbers felt that it would be quite acceptable for Ukawa Taro to assu the role of Clan Leader.

However, Ukawa Nishio wouldn’t have it, and he loudly protested, "There are many elders in the Ukawa Family, it’s not the turn of a junior to assu the role of Clan Leader."

"That’s right, hierarchy and seniority dictate that it should be we, the elders, who take on the role of Clan Leader. Although Ukawa Taro has perford exceptionally in the past few days and has made achievents for the clan, he left the family at the age of fifteen and has not established any rit for the family over the years, nor does he have a deep understanding of the family business. How could he possibly be qualified to assu the position of Clan Leader?"

"The two elders are correct. Originally, when grandfather was in charge, he grood Ukawa Ren as the successor, and there was much opposition within the clan. But over the years, Ukawa Ren’s performance was satisfactory, and he won the clan’s approval. Now that he is dead, although Ukawa Taro is also a mber of the family, he is too young and does not have sufficient prestige within the clan to take on such an important responsibility."

Fujiwara Hosokai frowned slightly before she stood out and addressed the few people opposing Ukawa Nishio, "On the day Kagaya Takeshi brought people to cause trouble, had it not been for my son Taro’s heroic efforts, the Ukawa Family would have been exterminated long ago. The only one who could withstand the Kagaya Clan’s experts that day was my son Taro alone. In this critical period, only those with a high level in the Martial Arts Realm can protect the family thoroughly. Though you few are respected and have seniority, you lack the capacity. How can you ensure the safety of our clan mbers, and how can you avenge the previous Family Head and restore the honor of the Ukawa Family?"

Ukawa Nishio scoffed, "Although Ukawa Taro’s combat strength is remarkable, he is not the strongest in the Martial Arts Realm within our clan. What’s more, we are living in an age of cold weapons. Protecting the family is sothing many people are capable of."

For a while, the Ukawa Family’s great hall was filled with incessant arguing.

There were those who supported Ukawa Taro’s rise to power, and many who opposed it.

Especially the opponents, who were elders with considerable influence in the clan. They had outstanding personal abilities, and they controlled not a small amount of family power and resources, so they also wanted to rise to the position.

Comparatively, although Ukawa Taro was of the Direct Lineage, he was young and had left the family at the age of fifteen to wander outside. He had not made significant contributions to the family over the years and, due to his absence, his relationships with clan mbers had grown sowhat distant. As a result, when people like Ukawa Nishio openly opposed his rise, those who supported him dared not speak out for fear of retribution from Ukawa Nishio and others in the future.

The Fujiwara family supported Ukawa Taro’s rise to power, while the family elders of the Ukawa Family opposed it, resulting in a deadlock that was embarrassingly unresolved.

Throughout it all, Ukawa Taro did not say a word. He watched his mother, who was fighting for him, as well as his maternal grandfather and uncles, and he watched these elders of his clan who denied his achievents due to his years away from the clan. He felt an imnse sense of irony.

The bodies of his grandfather and brother were not yet cold, and these people were already considering the distribution of future benefits.

Of course, having mixed in the outside world for many years, he was no stranger to such matters, but he had never expected such a thing to happen to him.

As for the position of Family Head of the Ukawa Family, he had absolutely no interest in taking it.

His priority was to uncover the truth behind the deaths of his grandfather and brother and to exact revenge.

Seeing that the argunt was getting nowhere and seed about to escalate into a fight, Ukawa Taro took a deep breath and said with a composed face, "Everyone, please hear

out."

His firm voice imdiately cald the crowd, and everyone turned to look at him.

Ukawa Nishio, watching this nephew of his, asked with a complex expression, "What do you have to say?"

Ukawa Taro said, "My grandfather, brother, and the blood relatives who died in the clan are still lying in their coffins, their eyes unshut in death. Their great vendetta has not been avenged, yet here we are fighting over power and profit, not even considering how to uncover the truth to avenge them. It’s truly laughable, and if they knew, they would be unable to rest in peace even in death, wouldn’t they?"

This statent made Ukawa Nishio and the other elders who were competing for power feel sowhat ashad, and they lowered their heads.

The others in the clan grew more fond of Ukawa Taro and nodded in approval.

"Regarding the position of Family Head of the Ukawa Family, I, Ukawa Taro, am not interested. However, the revenge for my grandfather and brother’s deaths is sothing that I must seek."

"Taro!" Fujiwara Hosokai’s expression changed as he spoke sharply, "Don’t talk nonsense. We must avenge our great grievance, but the position of Family Head is also yours, and no one can snatch it away."

A flash of insight crossed Fujiwara Momokawa’s eyes as he said to Fujiwara Hosokai, "Taro is a person who understands the bigger picture. Once he avenges our clan personally, he will be recognized by the family mbers. At that ti, who would oppose him becoming the Family Head?"

Suddenly realizing the truth, Fujiwara Hosokai’s face lit up with joy and he nodded, "That’s right, what Taro said is correct. At tis like this, squabbling over power and profit here will only make us a laughingstock to outsiders. Let’s discuss how to take our revenge first."

Ukawa Nishio cast a glance at Fujiwara Hosokai and Fujiwara Momokawa and others, saying with a sneer, "Who was it that brought up the matter of the successor to the Family Head just now? Yet now you claim others are vying for it, it’s truly laughable."

Fujiwara Hosokai, being mocked, felt indignant and could not help but look at his son with reproach in his eyes.

Just now, your old mother and your maternal family worried themselves sick over your affairs, yet you, boy, have nothing to say, truly like trying to prop up a lump of mud.

Ukawa Taro turned to Fujiwara Momokawa and said, "Grandfather, uncles, you have co from afar and are honored guests, please co with

inside to rest."

Fujiwara Momokawa paused for a mont, his gaze sweeping over Ukawa Taro a few tis before nodding, "Alright."

Ukawa Taro led the people of the Fujimura Family to his living courtyard.

Fujiwara Hosokai also followed along.

After closing the door, the family sat together. Fujiwara Hosokai looked at Ukawa Taro and asked, "Taro, rest assured, only you can sit in the Family Head’s position. Mom will support you with all her might. You’ve seen that your grandfather and uncles are also here to support you, you must not give up."

"Indeed, sister asked us to co over and help you. You really need to show so initiative," said Fujiwara He.

He was the third brother of Fujiwara Hosokai and the third uncle of Ukawa Taro. Among the Fujimura Family, he was one of the strongest in the Martial Arts Realm, his power already close to catching up with Fujiwara Momokawa, and he was the future head of the Fujimura Family.

Ukawa Taro nodded. He looked at Fujiwara Momokawa and said, "Grandson wishes to avenge his grandfather and brother and deal with the Kagaya Family. May I inquire if Grandfather would be able to provide great assistance?"

Fujiwara Momokawa nodded, "As I said before outside, you are my own grandson, and your affairs are the affairs of the Fujimura Family. Now that the Kagaya Family is the pri suspect, if you seek revenge on the Kagaya Family, our Fujimura Family will certainly offer great support."

A flicker of sothing different glead deep within Ukawa Taro’s eyes, but gratitude showed on his face as he knelt and said, "Thank you for the grace of my grandfather."

Fujiwara Momokawa gestured with his hand, "We are family, mutual support is natural; there is no need for such formalities. By the way, where are those friends you’ve made these past years in the outside world? With such a big incident having occurred in your family, shouldn’t those friends co to aid?"

Ukawa Taro’s heart skipped a beat, feigning ignorance as he looked at Fujiwara Momokawa, "What friends?"

Seeing his expression, Fujiwara Momokawa chuckled and said, "Everyone here is family; there is no need for further concealnt. Hahaha, you truly are my grandson, Fujiwara Momokawa’s grandson, to have made such a formidable reputation for yourself in the overseas underworld. Well done!"

"There’s no such thing..." Ukawa Taro started to explain.

However, Fujiwara He waved his hand grandly, interrupting, "There’s no need to keep hiding it, boy. We all know, you are a mber of the International Madman. Although the organization faced a significant incident two years ago, it was well-known in the overseas underworld before that."

Upon hearing the words "International Madman," Ukawa Taro’s heart trembled slightly, feeling a chill.

The na "International Madman" was indeed not small in the underworld, but the nas of the mbers had never been made public. Why do his mother and grandfather’s family now know?

And they kept hinting for the mbers of the International Madman Organization to provide help, which clearly was not right.
