It would be a shame not to praise him, but Sheldon's acting skills were indeed on point.
If it weren’t because Ito Yahiko already knew what a rotten person he was, he would’ve easily been
deceived by his warm smile and friendly approach. 1
Although Yahiko felt disgusted, he still forced a smile and replied, "You’re way too polite, Mr. Schulz. When you arrived in Japan, I wanted to personally welcome you at the airport and arrange the hotel stay for you, but I didn't expect to encounter so many incidents either." 4
Sheldon hurriedly replied, "Oh, there's no need to be so courteous, Mr. Ito. We the Schulz and Ito family have a long defining history. We will definitely continue to strengthen our cooperation and deepen our
relationship in the future. Why should we be bothered over something so insignificant?" i
Ito Yahiko saw through his hypocrisy and wanted to hurl his breakfast out, but all he could do was nod his head in agreement. "You're right. We shouldn’t be so bothered over something so petty as this..." 3
Sheldon nodded in content and continued with a serious tone. "Mr. Ito, although the things that have happened in Tokyo the past two days were chaotic and had caused you some serious injuries, I’d still like to try and set things right. Once the series of events
blows over, Ito family will still remain the biggest winner!" 5
Ito Yahiko knew exactly what Sheldon meant. He knew that in addition to explaining the situation, Sheldon also wanted to remind him that the family benefitting from the squabble was his family, the Ito's, and the mastermind was no other than Sheldon Schulz.
To put it in simpler terms, Sheldon was trying to remind Ito Yahiko not to forget his contribution to Ito family. 1
But this kind of favor was not something that Yahiko would like to owe Schulz's so quickly. 3
The main reason why Ito family was able to grace the current situation was not because of Sheldon, but Charlie Wade. 3
The Ito family did not rely on Schulz family at all. In fact, the reason Sheldon Schulz's own son and daughter were able to remain alive was all thanks to Charlie.
