The Tokugawa Shogunate was a symbol of an era in Dongying, representing the two hundred and sixty-four years during which Dongying was ruled entirely by the Tokugawa Family!
At that ti, the Emperor Di of Dongying, representing the unity of divine and imperial power, had no actual control, being nothing more than a title.
And now, Xu Hao was sowhat surprised to see soone from the Tokugawa Family here.
These enormous families are indeed like centipedes, not rotting even in death.
Even though they have been extinct for who knows how long, they still possess enormous energy, forcing the Hatano Family to seek external aid.
It's important to know that the Hatano Family has been able to build their automotive group to the third rank in Dongying, which is no small feat, and their family's power is by no ans weak.
Yet even so, when faced with the long-dormant Tokugawa Family, they are still at a loss.
Hodoka Makoto nodded and quickly said, "I have to go greet them, otherwise Tokugawa Ryōji and the others will surely be angry."
But Xu Hao shook his head slightly and said, "Since you want to be my vassal family, I will surely protect you. Stay here and don't go out; let them co in by themselves. I want to see what waves this so-called Tokugawa Family can stir in front of ."
Seeing Xu Hao so confident, Hodoka Makoto quickly nodded, willing to stand with Xu Hao.
However, Hatano Naiko snorted coldly and said, "Master Xu, although you are strong, you are not one of us Dongying people. You will eventually leave Dongying. If you completely offend the Tokugawa Family now, what will we do if they retaliate against us after you leave the Hatano Family?"
"If you don't believe in my strength, then go out and greet them. If you're willing to be their lackey, I won't stop you. But if you do anything to harm my interests, I won't mind slaughtering you first." Xu Hao shot him a cold look and said.
Hatano Naiko pondered for a mont, then snorted and walked towards the door.
"Sigh!"
Hodoka Makoto let out a long sigh, not knowing what to say.
His son was no longer a child and any decision he made was sothing beyond his influence.
Xu Hao said calmly, "Let him be; everyone has their own ambitions, each with their brilliance."
Soon, with Hatano Naiko's welco, a group of haughty people walked into the courtyard.
Since Xu Hao had always kept his appearance hidden, they could not recognize him.
Xu Hao did not want everyone to know what he looked like, as it would interfere with his normal, mundane life.
Seeing Hodoka Makoto standing by Xu Hao's side, yet not going out to greet him, Tokugawa Ryōji, walking at the front, snorted coldly and said, "Hodoka Makoto, you are quite bold, aren't you? You are at ho but don't co out to greet . Are you looking for death? You don't take seriously, do you?"
Hodoka Makoto knew that he was already on the brink of falling out with Tokugawa Ryōji, so he simply said coldly, "That's right, I don't take you seriously."
The people were instantly stunned.
They hadn't expected Hodoka Makoto to dare to say such words to them in public.
After all, they were people from the Tokugawa Family!
Which is a family with a high reputation throughout Dongying!
And the one who had just spoken with Hodoka Makoto was none other than their family's eldest son, Tokugawa Ryōji!
Xu Hao turned to glance at Hodoka Makoto, thinking that although this old man seed aged, his mind was very clear. He knew whom he should rely on now, and he did so without any hesitation.
Such determination alone was sothing Hatano Naiko couldn't compare to.
Xu Hao instantly felt that the na Hatano Naiko was indeed fitting.
After a mont of dumbfoundedness, Tokugawa Ryōji shouted angrily, "Are you out of your mind, Hodoka Makoto? How dare you speak to like that?"
Hodoka Makoto snorted coldly and said, "Tokugawa Ryōji, I hope you recognize your elder status. I'm of your grandfather's generation. Is this how you speak to your grandfather at ho?"
"You... you're looking for death!"
Tokugawa Ryōji roared angrily, and Hatano Naiko quickly pleaded with him, "Young Master Tokugawa Ryōji, please don't take it to heart with him. Everyone in our entire Hatano Family holds great respect for you. He's just been acting senile recently. Please be understanding."
"Get lost!"
Tokugawa Ryōji roared furiously at Hatano Naiko, causing him to stagger back in fear, sitting down on the ground.
Seeing his son be so useless, collapsing to the ground after being shouted at, Hodoka Makoto snorted coldly, "Don't ever say you're my son. I have no such unfaithful, unfilial son!
"Wow, old man, you're quite bold! I'm curious, who exactly gave you such abundant courage? Why not tell ?" Tokugawa Ryōji suddenly sneered.
