CHAPTER 2011 A DEITY
Ryosuke hastily stepped forward and sputtered, “Mr. Chance, I-I didn''t realize you were a deity! I have
been a fool. I should not have taken you lightly!”
He would have worshiped Jared on an altar had he known thetter was a deity earlier.
“A deity?” Jared was baffled by Ryosuke''s words.
xseed noticed his confusion and briefly exined the situation to him. Only then did Jared realize
that this was one of Fandor''s tricks.
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 dered, “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. I didn''t hear of any iing 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 I 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 nced at the front door. With a single kick, he smashed the pure bronze door into debris.
Themotion 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 exined 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. I 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 nce, he sent Haruto off to call Kazuo
and confirm Jared''s allegations.
s, none of Haruto''s calls went through. Asuka''s eyes narrowed thoughtfully. He was beginning to
believe Jared''s ims.
He shot Ryosuke an usatory re and demanded, “You''re the head of the Watanabe family,
Ryosuke, yet here you are colluding with the enemy. What is the meaning of this? Don''t you know he
killed Ichiro?”
To his surprise, Ryosuke replied sneeringly, “Don''t say anything else, Asuka. What haven''t you done to
fight for the position of the family head? I haven''t seen you as a brother for a long time! I already know
you and Masato conspired to send Yuri to the shrine. I will never agree to it.”
Asuka scoffed and retorted, “Did you truly think working with Jared would allow you to defy Grandpa''s
wishes, Ryosuke? Still, I suppose I must thank you for your little stunt today. It sure will save me plenty
of trouble.”
He waved his hand and summoned his guards. “Get them! Kill that man!”
