Chapter 527: Chapter 526: Invisible Net
"Grandfather, Mother, several uncles, where did you hear that I was a mber of the International Madman Organization?" Ukawa Taro suppressed the shock in his heart and looked at his grandfather and others as he asked.
Fujiwara Momokawa laughed and said, "Don’t worry about how we found out. Just tell us whether you admit to it."
Ukawa Taro took a deep breath and slowly shook his head, "Although I have also heard of the International Madman Organization, I am truly not a part of it. I don’t know where you heard these rumors."
Fujiwara Momokawa and others hesitated, all looking up at Fujiwara Hosokai.
A chill ran down Ukawa Taro’s spine, and he too looked towards his mother.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Fujiwara Hosokai said to Ukawa Taro, "Taro, I was the one who told your grandfather and others. Not many people in Japan know about this yet."
Ukawa Taro asked, "Mother, how did you co to know this news? Moreover, it is false news."
Fujiwara Hosokai stared at Ukawa Taro and said, "Taro, I am your mother, and they are not outsiders. We would not harm you. You don’t need to hide your identity as a mber of the International Madman from us."
"Yes, if you truly are a mber of the International Madman, you only need to summon the mbers of the International Madman to co to our aid. This could resolve the current crisis of the Ukawa Family and even elevate the prestige of the Ukawa Family in Japan," Fujiwara He hurriedly said.
For the Fujimura Family, their only hope to rank among the top aristocratic families of the Japan Martial World was to stick closely to the Ukawa Family.
Previously, the clan leaders of the Ukawa Family didn’t think much of the Fujiwara family, but now the situation was different.
Ukawa Taro was the grandson of the Fujimura Family, and he urgently needed help to ascend to power. For the Fujimura Family, it was an excellent opportunity, so they would spare no effort to help Ukawa Taro ascend.
Compared to Fujiwara Hosokai, Fujiwara Momokawa and Fujiwara He were sowhat more anxious. Their eyes blazed with anticipation and longing as they looked at their grandson (nephew).
"So, Mother, where exactly did you hear this news from?" Ukawa Taro looked toward his mother and earnestly asked.
Fujiwara Hosokai said, "Taro, it doesn’t matter where I heard this news from. You just need to tell your grandfather and uncles that you are indeed a mber of the International Madman Organization and that you have the power to rejuvenate the Ukawa Family."
"I am sorry, Mother, but I do not have that ability," Ukawa Taro saw his mother avoiding the question, which instantly made him more alert, feeling as though an invisible hand was stealthily reaching out for him, leaving no room to escape.
He suddenly stood up and said, "I’m sorry, I need to step out for a mont."
Fujiwara Hosokai hurriedly rose to follow him, "Taro, where are you going at such a critical mont? What could be more important than competing for the position of Family Head right now?"
As Ukawa Taro walked outside, seeing his mother closely following, he glanced at her and said, "I’m going to the restroom, I’ll be right back."
Seeing him holding his stomach, Fujiwara Hosokai reluctantly chose not to follow, saying, "Go and co back quickly."
Ukawa Taro acknowledged with a response and hastily left.
Upon entering the restroom, he imdiately took out his phone and opened the communication app used by the mbers of the International Madman Organization, only to see Yang Fei’s ssage.
’I am here.’
The brief ssage ward Ukawa Taro’s heart and moved him deeply.
Years of friendship had not been in vain.
"Situation unclear, don’t appear," Ukawa Taro replied with eight characters.
After so thought, feeling uneasy, he edited and sent another ssage: All mbers have had incidents at ho recently, possibly a conspiracy targeting the International Madman. Also, my identity has been exposed, and it seems all mbers’ identities might have been compromised. An invisible net seems to be closing in on us, be extra cautious and vigilant!
After sending the ssage, Ukawa Taro slipped his phone back into his pocket. Although he didn’t use the toilet, he flushed it anyway before leaving the restroom.
Returning to the courtyard, his mother was waiting at the doorway.
His grandfather’s family was still inside waiting.
Ukawa Taro strode over and said to everyone, "I will strive to develop and strengthen the Ukawa Family."
Fujiwara Hosokai was overjoyed, "Good, that’s like my good son."
Fujiwara Momokawa and Fujiwara He also appeared excited and thrilled. In their view, Ukawa Taro must have made contact with the International Madman while he was out, and having received support, he ca back and made this decision.
...
A taxi sped along a road leading to the outskirts of Osaka.
The constant drizzle outside made the entire city of Osaka feel enveloped in a gloomy, rain-drenched atmosphere, causing great discomfort.
Yang Fei and Zhu Tianshou were sitting in the backseat when suddenly Yang Fei’s phone beeped with a notification.
He pulled out his phone and saw two ssages on an internal app.
He was about to reply when he saw that the other party had already gone offline.
rging the ssages’ content, Yang Fei’s brows furrowed and he said to the taxi driver, "Please pull over to the side."
The driver, puzzled, glanced at Yang Fei through the rearview mirror and kindly reminded him, "Sir, this is the outskirts. It’s raining outside and there’s no place to take shelter."
"It’s fine, please just pull over." Yang Fei spoke in Japanese.
Although he was not highly educated, he knew several languages, all learned from friends around him.
The driver, having no choice, reluctantly dropped them off at a remote waiting shed.
"What’s going on? Any changes?" Zhu Tianshou asked once the driver drove away.
Yang Fei replied, "Yeah, things are indeed not as simple as they seem on the surface. Soone is probably trying to deal with us."
"Who?" Zhu Tianshou asked. "Sky Net?"
Yang Fei slowly nodded and said, "Maybe, I’m not sure yet, need to check."
Yang Fei did not hide anything from Zhu Tianshou.
Zhu Tianshou was quite familiar with the remaining mbers of the International Madman, and he had already known about Yang Fei’s identity as ’Madman King’, so Yang Fei spoke without any reservations.
"Not going directly to the Ukawa Family?" Zhu Tianshou asked.
Yang Fei thought for a mont, shook his head, and said, "Not for now. Ukawa Taro sent a ssage asking us to observe in secret. I always felt there was sothing odd about this situation, and now Ukawa Taro has also sensed sothing wrong, which proves my earlier premonition was correct. We need to think this through and not rush to et with Ukawa Taro."
Just then, the phone began to ring.
Yang Fei pulled out his phone and saw that it was from Xu Yunshan.
"Hello, Mr. Yang, we have arrived. Where are you?" Xu Yunshan asked.
Yang Fei looked around but couldn’t see any landmark buildings and didn’t know where they were, so he said, "Head to the Osaka Hotel, we’ll et there."
Xu Yunshan hastily said, "Mr. Yang, having so many foreigners suddenly check into the Osaka Hotel might expose us."
Yang Fei silently slapped his forehead, right, how could he make such a basic mistake at this ti, it was simply foolish.
Damn, he wasn’t this stupid before, could it be that getting married and being with a woman had drained his vitality and dulled his wits?
"Right, you’ve got a point," Yang Fei replied, his mind bringing up an individual.
It was a Japanese Doctor he had t in the international dical community. This person had a great relationship with him, but he was purely a physician, so he was not involved in the International Madman.
This person owed him a favor and was quite reliable, probably trustworthy.
Just as he planned to ask Xu Yunshan to wait while he contacted that old friend, he heard Xu Yunshan say, "Mr. Yang, actually, I know a safe place, just not sure if you trust our Xu Family enough."
Yang Fei was taken aback, then said, "You’re being too formal. Tell , what place?"
Seeing Yang Fei respond this way, Xu Yunshan imdiately felt a sense of trusted happiness and quickly said, "Over the years, our Xu Family has managed so achievents abroad. We have a company base here in Osaka, and the Xu Family owns a manor here as well. It’s managed by disciples of our Xu Family clan, absolutely safe and reliable."
"Give
the address, let’s et there," Yang Fei said decisively.
He still trusted the Xu Family.
