The patriarch's starting move was like a bugle call to arms.

Yotsuba Saki's father, stepmother, uncle, and aunt immediately took turns praising her, showering her deskmate and Sosuke with compliments.

In summary, it all boils down to one thing—you did a great job, you've brought honor to the family, and we hope you'll win another award next year!

Sosuke was actually a little uncomfortable with this kind of scene.

Aside from Ryuhei Yotsuba, who genuinely encouraged Saki Yotsuba at the beginning, everyone else, including her classmate's father, Nagayasu Yotsuba, didn't really care about Saki Yotsuba's feelings.

He talks nonsense, and even Saki's uncle's lover doesn't know what the Golden Eagle Flag competition is. His praises are completely irrelevant and almost nonsensical.

To put it bluntly, it was just a Golden Eagle Flag championship, which didn't really attract much attention from the leaders of conglomerates like the Yotsuba family.

But at least it's a good thing that's somewhat embarrassing.

So I took this opportunity to hold the family dinner that was just about to take place.

Despite his discomfort, Sosuke raised his glass to accept the blessings from these people and casually took a sip of the red wine.

It has a rich, smooth taste and must be a very high-end red wine.

However, the taste is far inferior to the Eight Salted Wine of the Beauty Master.

With the banquet about to end, he still hadn't found a suitable opportunity to bring up the matter of taking Saki away.

Just when I was scratching my head...

Yotsuba Saki, who had been silently accepting the praise with a bewildered expression, suddenly took a deep breath and opened her mouth towards her grandfather, Yotsuba Ryuhei.

Sousuke can guarantee that this is the loudest sound Yotsuba Saki can make today.

She said, "Grandpa, since...everyone thinks that I won the championship...yes, it's a good thing, then can I...make a request?"

It was quite a challenge for her to muster the courage to say such a long thing in front of so many elders.

However, she knew that if she didn't speak up now, it would be too late.

As a family with strict traditions, the Yotsuba family doesn't have a legitimate reason like "club training camp," so it's practically impossible for her elders to agree to her wanting to go to Sosuke's dojo for holiday training.

"What request?" Yotsuba Ryuhei was taken aback, not expecting his usually taciturn granddaughter to speak so boldly.

The other elders also looked at the girl, who had hardly ever spoken a long sentence, with great curiosity.

Yotsuba Saki took a deep breath, looked at her grandfather earnestly yet timidly, and said in a trembling voice, "Grandpa, I want to win more... championships in the future. To achieve this goal... I need to work harder with my teammates."

She paused, a little stuck, unsure how to continue.

Yotsuba Ryuhei, on the other hand, looked pleased. He nodded with a smile and said, "Well said! Saki, this down-to-earth and hardworking spirit is the family tradition of our Yotsuba family."

The elders immediately followed his lead and showered Yotsuba Saki with praise.

The basic meaning is—Saki, work hard boldly, everyone supports you!

Yotsuba Saki stared blankly at the assist they had given her.

That's exactly what you said, so this is perfect!

She took a breath and hesitated for a few seconds before mustering her courage and saying directly, "My classmates are all doing summer training camps at Atobe Normal School's dojo. I would like to join them too. Please support me, elders!"

what?

A girl is going to a men's dojo for intensive training.

The lively atmosphere gradually subsided.

The most embarrassed people were Yotsuba Saki's uncle and aunt. They had just been saying that they would support Yotsuba Saki no matter what she did, and then this happened.

Yotsuba Ryuhei remained silent.

Yotsuba Nagayasu's expression turned cold first: "Saki, your idea is a bit hasty. Go back and think it through before you talk about it."

On the other side, Hideki Yotsuba, the perverted sister-complex, immediately picked up on his father's words, saying gently, "That's right, Saki, what kind of behavior is it for a girl to go to a man's house alone for a training camp? You should take back that idea."

Seeing that Saki's father spoke first, several elders followed suit and began to persuade him.

“That’s right, Saki. A girl should pay attention to her reputation before she gets married. If you want to train, you can train in the club after school starts.”

“Saki, our Yotsuba family has always paid great attention to family traditions since we came ashore. As a new generation, you should also uphold the reputation of our family.”

"Besides..." Hideki Yotsuba spoke again, "Mr. Atobe certainly wouldn't let Saki get caught up in such a reputation scandal, would he?"

Clearly, Yotsuba Saki's request had made him unable to hold back any longer.

The caged bird that I've kept under my watch for years is now going to fly out and into another male bird's nest. What's the point of playing around with it then?

He stared directly into Sousuke's eyes, his gaze gleaming coldly, intending to warn this reckless brat to be sensible.

When Atobe Sousuke saw the murderous look in the eyes of the perverted siscon, he revealed a friendly smile.

Then he said, "As Yotsuba's teacher, of course I hope she can come to my place to practice more with the other club members. As for the issue of reputation, what era are we living in? You elders are overthinking it."

Nonsense! Even my cowardly classmate has taken the initiative to join the group. If he doesn't join now, what about the reputation of the dojo master?

What era are we living in now? Participating in a private training camp is perfectly normal.

Don't be fooled by how dignified and upright you uncles and aunts look.

As wealthy people, can you honestly say you've never been exposed to the glitz and glamour of Tokyo?

If you can't even set a good example yourself and you're more extravagant than anyone else, what right do you have to restrict Lao Tzu's disciples?

Sosuke's blunt words shut down all the elders' words.

Upon hearing Sousuke's answer, the perverted older brother Hideki Yotsuba wanted to say something, but the head of the family, Ryuhei Yotsuba, who had been silent until now, spoke up.

He looked calmly at Yotsuba Saki: "Saki, do you really want to participate in this summer training camp?"

Yotsuba Saki mustered her courage and looked directly into her grandfather's eyes: "Yes, I really want to."

“Then…” Yotsuba Ryuhei smiled slightly, “Go.”

"No way!" Just as things were about to settle down, Yotsuba Saki's father, Yotsuba Nagayasu, spoke up again, "Dad, this is simply outrageous. If word gets out that my daughter is doing this, it will be a disgrace to me. Absolutely not!"

Hearing her father's resolute attitude, Yotsuba Saki's eyes welled up with tears, and she bit her lip, unable to speak.

Seeing her like this, Sosuke sighed and was about to sit up to help.

The next second, a determined look flashed in Yotsuba Saki's eyes, and then, in front of everyone, she took off her glasses.

Her entire demeanor changed instantly, as if she had transformed from a timid and weak little white flower into a wild and domineering red rose.

Yotsuba Saki, no, it should be Yotsuba Emi.

With an arrogant look in her eyes, she sneered at Yotsuba Nagayasu opposite her, and spoke domineeringly amidst his shocked gaze.

"Dad, you've already made yourself look bad, you don't need me to make you look bad too!"

Hold the grass!

Sosuke's eyes widened as he watched his good disciple, who had just completed his transformation, immediately stand up and cheer.

Awesome, Emi!

Chapter 229 The Most Powerful Fighter in the World

"Dad, you've already made yourself look bad, you don't need me to make you look bad too!"

At the dinner table, Yotsuba Emi uttered something astonishing, leaving everyone stunned.

Beside her, Yotsuba Saki, who had been replaced, stared in disbelief and shouted in a panic, "Emi, are you crazy?! I wanted you to cover for me, not to come out and act crazy!"

Yotsuba Emi: "You're so naive. Who are you? The youngest daughter with the least say. If you try to explain yourself like this, don't expect to get out. The only way to turn things around is to pull them down from their moral high ground!"

Yotsuba Saki was speechless.

Outside, Yotsuba Nagayasu, suddenly rebuked by his daughter, blushed instantly.

He slammed his hand on the table, his eyes wide with rage, trembling with fury. Pointing at his daughter, he shouted, "Yotsuba Saki! Do you know what you're saying?!"

Yotsuba Emi was a fearless madwoman, so how could she be intimidated by her own father's meager presence? She repeated her words with a disdainful look: "I said, you've already disgraced yourself!"

She continued her rapid-fire attack: "You think I'd ruin your reputation and embarrass you? Do you even realize how badly you've disgraced the Yotsuba family?"

She stood up abruptly, pressing down on the dining table, and pointed directly at Yotsuba Nagayasu's stepmother. The young stepmother looked visibly uncomfortable at her pointing finger: "How many times have you been married since Mom passed away? Is this woman your fifth or sixth wife? How many mistresses do you have on the side?!"

Then she pointed at her adopted brother, Hideki Yotsuba: "How many guys like him might come knocking on our door at any time, thinking they can inherit the Yotsuba family's fortune?"

Hideki Yotsuba looked embarrassed, never expecting that his sister, whom he considered a caged bird, would have such a side.

Hui Mei looked at him with a mocking expression, and finally pointed at her father again: "How dare a man like you ask his daughter to care about her reputation?"

"Rebellious daughter! Rebellious daughter!!!" Yotsuba Nagayasu was speechless after Yotsuba Emi's words, and then his eyes immediately turned red with rage.

Given his age and maturity, he shouldn't have been rendered speechless by a few words from a little girl.

Faced with rumors and personal attacks about his lifestyle, he has a hundred ways to dodge the question, change the subject, and calmly deflect the criticism.

But when the person saying these words is his own daughter.

He broke down.

He slammed his hand on the table, his face terrifying like a wild beast: "Outrageous! Forget about any training camps, from today onwards, you are not allowed to leave the house!"

Emi gave a cold laugh: "What a joke! If I want to leave, who can stop me except Grandpa Sebastian!"

Sosuke looked up at her head; the word "madman" was currently burning fiercely.

He couldn't help but nod slightly. Indeed, in this state, no one present except Sebastian and himself could defeat Emi.

At that moment, Emi turned to look at the old butler, her arrogant expression instantly transforming into a pitiful one: "Grandpa Sebastian, you won't stop me, will you...?"

The old housekeeper stood ramrod straight, and upon hearing her words, smiled slightly without saying a word.

In reality, he was only outwardly calm; when he suddenly saw his "granddaughter" in this state again, he was just as bewildered.

The first time I saw it was at the Golden Eagle Flag competition. Sebastian thought that Yotsuba Saki's personality had changed drastically because of the atmosphere of the competition.

Moreover, she reverted to her timid and submissive personality after the competition, which the old housekeeper found a bit of a pity.

Unexpectedly, it has happened again.

"You...you!" Yotsuba Nagayasu pointed at Emi, his finger trembling uncontrollably. "You've learned a few shreds of kung fu from some kid and you think you're so great just because you can bully ordinary people, huh!"

He suddenly turned to look at Hideki Yotsuba: "Hideki, invite Mr. Himuro over immediately."

"Okay." Hideki Yotsuba nodded and took out his phone.

Just then, Yotsuba Ryuhei, who had been silent, suddenly shouted.

"Enough! How long are you going to keep this up?!"

Despite his advanced age, he possessed a powerful voice that resonated throughout the venue.

Everyone in the Yotsuba family immediately fell silent.

Yotsuba Ryuhei coldly looked at his eldest son: "Chōyasu, did Saki say anything wrong? You yourself have already lost face in the industry, what right do you have to demand anything of your daughter?"

"I..." Yotsuba Nagaharu was somewhat unconvinced, but after seeing the old man's murderous gaze, he suddenly felt as if his throat was blocked and he couldn't speak.

He suddenly realized that although the old man had gradually delegated authority to him to take over family affairs,

However, the true head of the Yotsuba family is still Yotsuba Ryuhei.

This is a legendary figure who started his career in the yakuza world in his youth, built a vast empire on a bloody path, and then climbed out of the deepest hell of the yakuza world to turn from black to white.

Even though he is now over eighty years old, the souls of the yakuza and his opponents who died at his hands are still wailing day and night!

At this moment, Yotsuba Ryuhei turned and glared at his other two sons and daughters, his imposing aura unyielding: "You two are the same, each of you is more playful than anyone else, and now you're pretending to be serious in front of the younger generation!?"

Yotsuba Saki's uncle and aunt immediately lowered their heads, their foreheads covered in cold sweat, not daring to breathe.

Yotsuba Ryuhei slammed his fist on the table again: "I was the one who brought the Yotsuba family up from the path of yakuza. What kind of petty theft haven't we done? If we're talking about disgracing the family and bringing shame to the clan, I'm the most shameful one!"

He sneered as he glanced at his children: "Now look what's happened, the Four Leaf Family has cleaned up their act and gotten back on their feet, and you're all starting to care about your so-called reputation?"

He said sarcastically, "Which of Japan's old-guard powers doesn't know that our Yotsuba family is just a bunch of nouveau riche who have come ashore, a bunch of scoundrels who can't stand up to scrutiny? What's there to pretend about? Back then, when I tried to talk about benevolence and morality, I didn't get any pity from any noble person. It wasn't until I showed my fangs that they turned around and were afraid of me, and let the Yotsuba family go."

He scolded her for a while, then looked at his little granddaughter and smiled gently again: "Saki, I'm very pleased that you dared to express your thoughts today. Go if you want to go, I support you."

Emi chuckled and nodded confidently: "Grandpa, I won't let you down. Before long, I'll become the best fighter in Japan, even better than Grandpa Sebastian."

She declared with boundless confidence, "When the time comes, I will protect the Yotsuba family!"

"Hahaha! Good, good, good!" Yotsuba Ryuhei laughed heartily, clapping his hands and teasing, "If you become the most powerful fighter in Japan, what about your teacher's college?"
