Chapter 169: Met with the family head

He looked much younger and more vigorous on the outside. If I didn’t know his original age from Selena when speaking with her, I couldn’t believe that he was in his fifties.

Shigeru, whose head was leaning downward and watching something intently, immediately looked up due to the disturbance.

When he looked at his older daughter and the new son-in-law standing in front of him, who had married both his daughters,

he didn’t react much at first and walked slowly towards them from his place. He stood in front of them and watched them intently.

On the surface, everything looked normal about the old man. He looked like a harmless middle-aged man. But Jack’s instincts were triggered by the danger in front of him.

Jack got curious because of the alertness he received from his instincts. He focused more on his father-in-law in front of him.

Suddenly, a whistling sound was heard in the air. The old patriarch of the Akechi family kicked towards his head, aiming at the side of his forehead.

It was a deadly spot for an instant kill. Jack, who had already been alerted by his instincts, immediately blocked the kick with his hands.

Shigeru was somewhat surprised that the young man had caught his kick so suddenly. Jack released his tight grip from the leg.

Even though the old man had attacked first, he didn’t retaliate against him due to the seniority and respect he had for him because he was the father of the two important women in his life.

Shigeru, who had maintained a calm expression until now, suddenly laughed out loud.

"Hahahahah.....as expected of the man who conquered the hearts of my two daughters.

Come on... Come on... both of you sit down....

I have been expecting to meet you for a long time after I heard the news about you marrying my daughters.

But only now has the situation given me the chance to meet you."

Jack looked at the old man, who had changed his attitude like a chameleon changing its colours. The danger he had felt before was completely gone at that moment.

He thought to himself, this old man is really not normal. In other words, he was extremely dangerous.

Jack followed Selena’s lead and sat in front of the family head of the Akechi family.

Selena, who had silently watched everything happening in front of her until now, broke her silence and said,

"You... old man... is this necessary to test him like this? Did you not believe in your two daughters’ evaluation abilities?

The man chosen by the two of us is not someone you can intimidate or defeat with a single move."

Shigeru, seeing his daughter annoyed with him because of his previous rude actions, said,

"Girl... what do you know? It was my duty to test the young man who is the only son-in-law of our family after a long time.

This was between us men. Don’t intervene between us.

What do you say, young man?"

Jack, seeing the old man throwing the ball and diverting the problem towards him,

looked at Selena and waved his hand and said,

"Don’t bother, it’s nothing."

When Shigeru heard Jack say the attack earlier was nothing, he got irritated in his heart. But he didn’t show it on the outside.

He thought, it’s good this young man is capable, and asked,

"Young man, what’s your background? Which family are you from?"

Jack met the questioning glance of his father-in-law and said,

"I’m just an orphan. I have no background, and I’m just an ordinary young man."

When Shigeru heard Jack’s words, he snorted inwardly. This young man was lying through his teeth.

How could a normal person at such a young age have attained such a high level in martial arts?

Shigeru had already guessed that this son-in-law of his was really something. At this point, he had already married his two daughters and become family with him, yet he was still deceiving them and not revealing his background.

Jack noticed the scrutinising and doubtful look from his father-in-law. He was confused inside. Why is this old man looking at me like this? But he didn’t show any discomfort on his face and maintained his calmness.

After they continued the staring contest for some time, Shigeru broke the silence and said openly,

"Since you don’t want to reveal your background, I will not ask further about it."

Jack sighed to himself. He already understood that his father-in-law had done a deep background check on him, and he had deeply misunderstood everything because of his unmatched and powerful martial arts.

But he didn’t explain further. Instead, Selena answered,

"Father, can you stop doing this? My husband is not the type to hide things from me. I believe him, so stop being paranoid."

Shigeru, who got scolded by his daughter, snorted lightly and said,

"Girl, you know nothing. So stop intervening in everything. You first get out of here. I need to discuss something privately with the son-in-law of our family."

He turned back towards his personal secretary and ordered,

"You, take the young miss to rest."

Selena, seeing her old father shooing her away, didn’t bother with the schemes the old man was plotting.

Because she had full confidence that Jack would be able to handle her father. So she stood up and went with her father’s assistant to take some rest.

Jack, seeing Selena had already left, looked at the family head still eyeing him, and his expression already showed that he was about to say something important.

After Shigeru watched his daughter walk away and finally gave them some privacy, he said,

"I won’t hide anything from you. The women in my family are very interested in you since you gained the recognition of my two daughters.

All the eligible females in the family have become extremely curious about you. After all, my daughter Isabella was a top hand in the family.

You must have heard about the situation and the custom of our family from my daughters. Since they all want to challenge you, are you interested in accepting their challenge?"
