The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1724

He was afraid that even killing Charlie wouldn't help him restore his dignity. After all, the horrifying beating which he had endured was already known to every Japanese in Japan. It was already rooted deeply within the hearts of the people. 6

Machi's expression turned sour and he was thinking o f ways to comfort his son. During that moment, his cell phone rang. 2

Machi took out his cell phone and saw an unfamiliar number. He pressed on the answer button and answered the call.

From the other side of the call, a familiar voice rang. It was Ito Yahiko! 3

"Oh, Brother Machi! I heard that Eikichi was beaten up by someone in Tokyo today?"

Yahiko's voice seemed to be somewhat concerned at first but anyone with a brain could have figured out that it was actually sarcasm. 5

Machi replied with a blackened face. "Yahiko, I remember saving your number. Did you change it?"

"No.” Tahiko replied with a cheerful tone. "My number is still the same. This is my personal assistant's cell phone. I was afraid that you might not pick up if I were to call you using my own number. Afraid that once you see my name showing on the caller ID, you

will be too embarrassed to pick up. Hahaha!" s

Machi's expression darkened instantly.

Yahiko was right. If he knew it was him who was calling, even if it means life and death, he wouldn’t have answered the phone.

Unexpectedly, this piece of garbage was quite good. H e had purposely used a new number to call Machi in order not to raise any suspicion just to personally mock him on the phone?

Yahiko noticed that Machi did not reply and immediately continued speaking with a smile. "Oh, Machi. Why are you not talking? Are you feeling a little unhappy and unable to swallow the humiliation that your son was beaten up in front of your own house? Feeling a little embarrassed?” 3

Machi could no longer hold his tongue. Thus, he asked, “Yahiko, is there anything you want to discuss? If there's no problem then I want to cut out the call now!"
