The Amazing son in law Chapter 1812

Emi Ito acknowledged the situation, stating: “This is indeed true. Initially, we had intense competition with the Takahashi family, but I never anticipated that both Takahashi Machi and Takahashi Eiji, along with his son, would be deceased. The Takahashi family will undoubtedly suffer greatly from this loss.”

“Moreover, Ryoto Matsumoto was diligently working to catch up. Now that the Matsumoto family has been completely eradicated, all their business shares have become available. Can the Takahashi family effectively compete with us now? If we seize the opportunity to acquire the resources released by both the Takahashi and Matsumoto families, we could soon establish ourselves as the preeminent family in Japan!”

Yuhiko Ito nodded in agreement, but his expression was devoid of joy. He sighed, saying: “I aspired to embody the spirit of a samurai and engage in a fair competition with the Takahashi family, but instead, I find myself in the role of a snipe and clam. A fisherman who gains nothing from it all—it’s truly astonishing…”

At that moment, Charlie looked at Yuhiko Ito with admiration. While many would likely be filled with excitement, Yuhiko’s awareness of the situation was unexpected.

Emi Ito then suggested: “Brother, there’s no need to fret over how to win. What has happened to these two families is beyond our control. Even if we capitalize on it, those who can benefit should do so with a clear conscience. Our immediate focus should be on swiftly cleaning up the battlefield and seizing this moment to elevate the Ito family to a position of invincibility!”

Yuhiko Ito paused before turning to Charlie, clasping his fists in gratitude, and said earnestly, “Mr. Wade, thank you for everything! Without your intervention, the fate of the Ito family might have mirrored that of Takahashi Zhenzhi. If it weren’t for you, I fear the Ito family would have already been ensnared by Matsumoto’s schemes, leading to our downfall. You are truly the benefactor of the Ito family!”

Seeing this, Emi Ito quickly stood up, knelt on one knee, clasped her fists, and expressed sincerely, “Mr. Wade, my brother has difficulty with his legs, so I wish to extend our gratitude on behalf of the Ito family!”

Nanako Ito also rose quickly, kneeling beside her aunt, and added in thanks, “Charlie, please accept our gratitude from Nanako as well!”

Charlie sighed softly and replied earnestly, “Please, you both rise. There is no need for such gestures. Although I aided the Ito family by chance, the true fortune lies with the Ito family itself.”

Emi Ito and Nanako got up as instructed.

Emi Ito turned to Yuhiko Ito and remarked, “Brother, Mr. Wade is correct. Besides his assistance, we must acknowledge that our Ito family has been exceptionally fortunate! Not only can we absorb the shares released by the Takahashi and Matsumoto families, but we can also leverage the Takahashi family’s current weakness to foster cooperation with the Banks Family. They may see the Ito family as their only viable partner now!”

“No!” Yuhiko replied firmly. “From this moment on, we will not engage in any form of cooperation with the Banks Family!”

Emi Ito was taken aback and asked, “Brother, why is that?! Weren’t you eager for this collaboration?”

Yuhiko Ito explained with seriousness, “This is because I’ve come to realize that I do not have enough understanding of the Banks Family! However, through the recent events involving the Matsumoto family, I’ve discerned their true nature. The Banks Family is excessively hostile and lacks integrity; they spare no one, not even minors. Aligning with such a family is akin to seeking the skin of a tiger!”

Emi Ito’s expression shifted to one of fear as she acknowledged, “What you say makes sense… The Banks Family’s actions are indeed ruthless…”

An idea struck Emi Ito, and she quickly said: “Brother, I’ve heard that another Chinese family, which ranks just below the Banks Family, is looking to enter the ocean shipping sector. They’ve been competing against the Banks Family for years, much like our rivalry with the Takahashi family. If circumstances allow, we could consider a partnership with the Wade family.”

Yuhiko Ito shook his head decisively, stating, “No, the Banks Family and the Wade family are both immensely powerful. In recent years, China’s economy has surged, and their strength has far eclipsed that of other families in Asia. We are no match for either the Banks Family or the Wade family. Partnering with the Banks Family would be akin to courting danger, and allying with the Wade family would mean completely antagonizing the Banks Family. It’s best that we avoid placing ourselves in such perilous situations!”

After a moment of reflection, Yuhiko Ito said resolutely, “Thus, starting today, the Ito family will cease all cooperation with foreign families and will reject any invitations from them. We must concentrate our efforts on the domestic market in Japan, working diligently to strengthen our foundations. When our strength is comparable to that of the Wade and Banks families, then we can reconsider collaboration!”
