A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 886 Kneel and Beg for Mercy
Chiike Shizuka hung her head after she heard what Ye Fan said.
She was speechless and at a loss about how to describe how she felt now.
She was just an insignificant woman, but she had suddenly risen to the pinnacle of power to control vast wealth. Even an elderly person who had seen a good deal of upheaval would be incapable of staying calm after such a major plot twist, let alone a delicate young lady in her 20s.
Due to the things she experienced in the first half of her life, Chiike Shizuka didn't have confidence in herself.
Also, she had a meek personality and felt terrified, so she didn't dare to accept Ye Fan's gift.
Instead, Ye Fan comforted her with a smile, "Be more confident. Why do you belittle yourself? No one is born strong. It only comes with experience. If I can do it, I believe you can too. Don't worry. Before you can stand on your own two feet, I will get someone to help you."
Ye Fan stood with his hands behind his back as he spoke deeply.
Then he turned to the sorry-looking Iwai Zen and said coldly, "Before I decide to kill you, you will help her. Can you do that?"
Ye Fan's calm words quietly rang.
Iwai Zen didn't dare to oppose Ye Fan's order.
Since he had already committed an offense, he would probably die if he offended Ye Fan again today.
"Dragon Master, don't worry. I will do my best to support Miss Chiike Shizuka while she runs the show. May I die a horrible death if I show any disloyalty!" said Iwai Zen reverently.
Ye Fan nodded. "Good."
Then Miyamoto Nakanosuke suddenly snapped out of his shock and ran forward to kneel before Ye Fan and said respectfully, "I am willing to let Chiike Shizuka be the Miyamoto clan leader. From now on, the family will take orders only from you both!"
What?
"Grandpa, are you nuts? How can you say such nonsense? How could someone like Chiike Shizuka become the head of the Miyamoto family?!"
Chiike Tsubame could no longer stay calm after hearing this.
So she opposed Miyamoto Nakanosuke's decision as anger and jealousy boiled in her heart.
All along, Chiike Tsubame was the favorite child between the two sisters.
Their grandfather brought her along for all important events, but not Chiike Shizuka.
Her family even paid for her to study abroad while Chiike Shizuka went to an average local university.
Chiike Shizuka had always been overlooked in the family.
Chiike Tsubame enjoyed wonderful treatment compared to her younger sister all her life and received more attention and achieved greater success. However, the little sister whom she looked down on had suddenly risen to the pinnacle of power.
Even her grandfather was going to hand the family over to her and make her the leader, so everyone would have to regard her with great respect.
How could Chiike Tsubame take it?
She protested with her eyes red.
"You fool! Shut up! This is no time to get jealous of your little sister. Are you trying to get me killed and destroy the Miyamoto clan?"
Miyamoto Nakanosuke was so furious that he slapped her right away. He hit Chiike Tsubame so hard that she fell onto the ground and the blood from her nose covered her face. Judging from Ye Fan's actions, even a fool could tell that Ye Fan and Chi ike Shizuka had an extraordinary relationship.
His granddaughter might even be Ye Fan's woman.
Or else, why would Ye Fan hand Mikawa Group over to Chiike Shizuka so easily?
Everyone felt Ye Fan was doing this to make his woman his agent and help him control Mikawa Group!
Then Ye Fan would have better control of Mikawa Group.
So after Miyamoto Nakanosuke realized how close Ye Fan and Chiike Shizuka were, he held onto her like she was his last hope.
He was keenly aware that his survival hinged entirely on this granddaughter.
So Miyamoto Nakanosuke swiftly made her head of the Miyamoto clan as a show of loyalty to Ye Fan in hope of making amends for offending him.
Half of the blood flowing through Chiike Shizuka's veins belonged to the Miyamoto clan, so she wasn't an outsider. If she had a meteoric success, it was considered their family's glory.
But Miyamoto Nakanosuke didn't think that the idiotic Chiike Tsubame would choose to get jealous now and hurl verbal attacks at Chiike Shizuka.
Didn't she know that the survival of the Miyamoto clan hinged on Chiike Shizuka?
Miyamoto Nakanosuke could only hope that Ye Fan would spare them on account of Chiike Shizuka.
Ye Fan naturally saw through Miyamoto Nakanosuke's ploy.
He looked down at the old man kneeling by his feet and laughed coldly.
"Did you really think I would spare you because you tried to show some goodwill? You are already half a century old. I didn't expect you to be this naive."
Ye Fan shook his head as he smiled. He spoke so sinisterly that it sounded bitingly cold.
Miyamoto Nakanosuke was petrified to hear Ye Fan's words.
His heart went cold instantly.
Ye Fan wasn't going to let him off.
"No, don't kill me! I am really sorry! I was too blind to realize how powerful you are and offended you unintentionally. Please spare me on account of Shizuka! I swear you will be revered by the Miyamoto clan like our father and god! From now on, you are the king of the Miyamoto clan, and Shizuka is queen. Please spare us," begged Miyamoto Nakanosuke publicly with tears in his eyes.
He looked so sad that he lost all dignity as the head of the family.
He couldn't be bothered with his pride now.
Moreover, since even the president of Mikawa Group had to kneel to Ye Fan and beg for mercy, it was scarcely an embarrassment for the deputy chairman to do the same.
"Shizuka, please help me put in a good word. I admit that I didn't care about you enough in the past. I was blinded by your sister and trusted the wrong person. I'm sorry. I will make up for it 100 times over from now on. Please save me!"
Miyamoto Nakanosuke turned to crawl towards Chiike Shizuka and kept begging for forgiveness when he failed to convince Ye Fan to spare him.
He kept going on while he cried.
It felt heart-wrenching to see an old man suffering this way.
In the end, Chiike Shizuka looked at Ye Fan imploringly.
"Sir, c-can you spare Grandpa?"
Chiike Shizuka spoke in a small voice and clearly felt bad for asking.
She knew she had no right to beg Ye Fan for mercy.
Ye Fan owed her nothing. Instead, she owed him everything.
However, he was her grandfather after all. How could the innocent and kindhearted Chiike Shizuka turn a blind eye on his predicament?
