Chapter: 1960

Just then, Yè Chén glanced at Ito Emiko with some surprise, for most people in this situation would probably be excited and forgetful.

But little did he know that Ito Emiko had this kind of awareness.

At this moment, Ito Emi comforted: 'Brother, there's no need to get caught up in petty issues now. After all, the things these two families have encountered are not something we can take credit for. We can still be at peace even if we reap some benefits. What's most important is to quickly clean up the battlefield and seize this opportunity to let the Ito Family stand tall on the pinnacle of victory!'

Ito Emiko didn't immediately respond, but instead turned his head towards Yè Chén again, bowed deeply, and sincerely said: 'Mr. Yè, thank you for everything! If it weren't for you, the Ito Family's fate would not have been any different from Takahashi Junji's. If it weren't for you, the Ito Family and the Takahashi Family might have already been destroyed by Matsumoto Ryou.'

Ito Emi immediately stood up and knelt down with one knee, clasped her hands together in gratitude, saying: 'Mr. Yè, my brother is unable to move about freely, so as a representative of the Ito Family, I will perform a humble bow to express our gratitude!'

Ito Nanako quickly got up and followed after her aunt, kneeling down and expressing gratitude with words: 'Please accept Mr. Yè's respects from me as well!'"

Yè Chén let out a deep sigh and spoke sincerely: 'Two of you, please rise. You don't really need to do this. Although I did have the good fortune to help the Ito Family in some small way, it was ultimately the Ito Family's own good luck that allowed them to escape this calamity.'

Ito Emi and Nanako finally got up."

Ito Emi spoke again: 'Brother, Mr. Yè is right. Besides his help, our Ito Family did indeed have a bit of good luck! Not only could we seize the opportunity to absorb the assets released by Takahashi Family and Matsumoto Family, but we could also take advantage of this situation where Takahashi Family is severely wounded and push forward with cooperation with the Su Family. It seems that the Su Family now has no other choice but to cooperate with our Ito Family.'"

"No way!" Ito Takeru spoke without hesitation: "From now on, we will not engage in any form of cooperation with the Su Family!"

Ito Emi couldn't help but ask: "Brother, why is this so? You're always expecting a lot from this cooperation, aren't you?"

Ito Takeru said sternly: "That's because I don't have enough understanding of the Su Family! But now, through the Takahashi Family's incident, I've seen through the Su Family's style, and their behavior is too heavy-handed and lacks bottom line, even targeting young children. Collaborating with such a family is like consorting with tigers!"

Ito Emi's expression turned serious, and she nodded thoughtfully: "Brother, what you said makes sense...... The Su Family indeed behaves too brutally......"

As she spoke, Ito Emi suddenly remembered something and exclaimed urgently: "Brother, I've heard that another family in China, ranked second only to the Su Family, also wants to venture into the field of ocean shipping. They have a long-standing competitive relationship with the Su Family, similar to our situation with the Takahashi Family. If conditions are right, we could possibly collaborate with them."

Ito Takeru shook his head: "Forget it. The Su and Ye Families are both extremely powerful. China's economy has been developing rapidly these years, and these two families' strength far surpasses that of other Asian families. Whether it's the Su Family or the Ye Family, we're not their match. Collaborating with the Su Family is like consorting with tigers, and collaborating with the Ye Family would mean totally offending the Su Family's tiger-like nature. In my opinion, we should avoid putting ourselves in such a dangerous situation!"

As he finished speaking, Ito Takeru thought for a moment before speaking seriously: "From today on, the Ito Family will cease all cooperation with external clans and refuse any cooperation invitations from them. We'll focus on developing our strength within Japan's domestic market, digging deep and storing up provisions! When our strength is comparable to or not much different from that of the Ye and Su Families, we can reconsider collaborating with them."

It seems that Ito Takeru has a very good overall perspective and can control his internal greed, not seeking too much and not rushing forward recklessly.

If there were families with strong ambitions and desires, they would probably start vying for power immediately, using all means necessary to get ahead quickly and make themselves rich;

On the one hand, they would suppress other families in the country, working hard to eat away their share and become a big shot within a short time;

On the other hand, they would also have to collaborate with overseas powerful clans as soon as possible to open up more profitable channels and develop themselves quickly.

However, Ito Takeru can clearly see through this situation and recognize the hidden dangers and risks.

Undoubtedly, the Su Family is a tiger-like family.

Such families not only lack the etiquette of the martial world but have also lost their basic human nature.

Collaborating with such families requires constant vigilance, or they might stab you in the back without warning;

If you lean towards the Su Family's rival, it would be equivalent to standing directly opposite the Su Family, increasing the risk factor. JrNovels.com
