"I came here on behalf of your future in-laws," Suzuki Daizo informed his nephew with a voice that rang with authority.
"Oh? I didn't know you were that close to my future in-laws, to be doing things on their behalf."
The mocking tune had returned in Aki's voice. He already had an idea what this old man was trying to do. Years ago, before his parents died, this man had pressured his father and mother into accepting an engagement between Aki and the daughter of Daizo's friend, the owner of the company where he worked at now: Axis Corporation.
"Of course, I'm the one who set it up, after all," the man said proudly, which made Aki's eyes turn into slits.
"It's amazing because my girlfriend's parent doesn't even know you," he scoffed, and he watched as Daizo stiffened.
"Who are you talking about?" the old man demanded. Of course, he knew Aki's fiancée. It was arranged by him.
