Chapter 1060 - 1056: Dark List Number One!

Chapter 1060: Chapter 1056: Dark List Number One!

The things that these masters in the family could think of, Xiao Tian naturally could also think of, and he thought even more thoroughly and clearly, including the potential chain reactions that might follow and possible problems they might encounter, leaving nothing out.

However, the more Xiao Tian thought about it, the harder it was for him to stay relaxed.

You must understand, whether in politics or the military, there are plenty of people who love to overexaggerate and accuse others of serious crimes. If things go wrong and he gets labeled as colluding with foreign powers, it would be impossible to clear his name, even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

It may sound absurd to some, but Xiao Tian understood that these things were almost certainly going to happen, and this was only being a bit conservative.

At the moment, Xiao Tian found himself in a difficult situation. Even though he understood that this was not something that could be done, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse when facing those eyes staring at him.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Tian gave a bitter smile and said, "Even if I agree, will your father agree? You may not understand, but this is not a simple matter. The complexity of it is something even I can only guess a rough outline of."

However, Ozawa Miwa shook her head and said, "I don’t care about how complicated it is. I just know that being with Brother Xiao Tian... makes me very happy, no matter how much suffering I have to endure!"

With words spoken to this extent, Xiao Tian understood that Ozawa Miwa was determined to be with him, even at the cost of giving up her noble royal princess status!

This inevitably made Xiao Tian feel slightly heavy-hearted, as those words of near-confession made him a bit flustered, but Ozawa Miwa simply expressed her desire to stay by his side, without putting forth any other conditions. It left him without a suitable angle to refuse.

Xiao Tian was afraid of letting her down, but Ozawa Miwa gave him no opportunity to do so, leaving him with no means to escape from the situation, unable to refuse but also finding nowhere to harness his strength!

Of course, in some respect, this was a situation Xiao Tian brought upon himself because if he had firmly refused, Ozawa Miwa, no matter how much she wanted it, due to her own personality, wouldn’t have continuously pursued him.

But Xiao Tian couldn’t resolutely refuse, completely dissuading Ozawa Miwa from this idea...

In fact, Xiao Tian was conflicted, too. He wondered whether deep down he actually wanted to take Ozawa Miwa away, or was he afraid that after refusing her, she might do something irrational again?

However, this question was not one Xiao Tian could figure out in a short time, and moreover, time did not allow him to be indecisive and hesitant.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tian sighed and said, "Regardless, it is necessary to seek your father’s opinion on this matter."

Ozawa Miwa blushed. Why did this sound like a couple meeting the parents before getting married?

She shook her head, throwing those unrealistic thoughts behind, and with trembling hands, she slowly moved towards Xiao Tian’s hand, cautious as if afraid he might pull away.

Xiao Tian was also taken aback but didn’t shy away and let her grab him. Watching her shy expression, he felt his mind go blank.

Then a low voice came by his ear, "Let’s go together!"

Coming back to his senses, Xiao Tian could only see the blush on the little princess’s cheeks spreading down to her neck at a speed visible to the naked eye. She held onto him and walked away, daring not to lift her head for a glance.

"You’re walking the wrong way!" Xiao Tian said helplessly, with a mixed feeling of amusement and exasperation.

It turned out Ozawa Miwa was so wrapped up in her shyness she didn’t notice which direction they were supposed to go, and only after Xiao Tian’s reminder did she react, hastily raising her head and quickly adjusting her course, then lowering her head again as she walked gracefully forward.

Fortunately, although this place wasn’t bustling, the roads were quite smooth. Otherwise, Xiao Tian would indeed worry whether she might fall into a pit or sprain her ankle walking like that...

...

Arriving outside the small courtyard from earlier, Ozawa Miwa reluctantly let go of Xiao Tian’s hand, hiding the unwillingness in her eyes due to keeping her head down, so Xiao Tian did not notice it.

Although she had mentally prepared herself along the way, arriving here, Ozawa Miwa couldn’t help but feel a certain unprovoked nervousness. This nervousness wasn’t out of fear or terror but rather a daughter’s instinctive fear of her father after doing something wrong.

Stopping her footsteps, Ozawa Miwa clenched her fists against her chest, continuously cheering herself up in her heart, repeatedly telling herself this was her only chance and if she missed it, she would be forever trapped in unwavering regret.

In this regard, Ozawa Miwa was deeply experienced. Recalling the scenes from her wedding with Sugai Yasuaki, the resistance and hopelessness she felt from the depths of her heart seemed almost tangible, causing her to shiver as she remained fearful of it!

Raising her head to glance at Xiao Tian beside her, Ozawa Miwa finally felt reinforced with some confidence, then she took a deep breath and pushed the wooden door open before stepping inside.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Three knocks sounded on the door, followed by a steady and deep voice from inside, "Come in."

Ozawa Miwa couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Tian again, only to find him also looking at her. Her face turned red again as she quickly pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Inside, a middle-aged man stood with his back to the door with his hands clasped behind him. As Ozawa Miwa and Xiao Tian walked in one after the other, he only slightly nodded his head.

Moments later, the middle-aged man turned around, looking past his daughter directly at Xiao Tian. He said, "Congratulations!"

Xiao Tian was stupefied by this sudden congratulations, thinking in his heart, is this person crazy? His daughter is about to leave with me, yet he’s congratulating me as if eager to send her away sooner.

What kind of mindset is this?

Then he considered the fact that Ozawa Miwa hadn’t spoken a word since they entered the room, and regardless of how skilled the middle-aged man was, he couldn’t have the ability to foresee the future. That "congratulations" must refer to something else.

This only left Xiao Tian even more bewildered. How had his strength not yet returned to average levels, and what was there to congratulate him on?

Furthermore, Xiao Tian noticed something: the tone the middle-aged man used to congratulate him was quite complicated. Although he was verbally congratulating him, it seemed rather insincere.

"What does it mean?" Xiao Tian, unable to come up with an understanding after a long thought, asked perplexed.

The middle-aged man squinted his eyes slightly, with a faint smile, said, "Leaping from the tenth position on the Dark List to a shining number one, shouldn’t you be congratulated?"

What the...!

Xiao Tian was truly shocked at this moment. First place? When did he become number one?

You must know the rankings on the Dark List are very systematic. The previous time they made a special adjustment for him was unprecedented. How could it happen again now?

Could it be that he inherently has the ability to break rules?
