Chapter 1423 What A Fearsome Girl
Sasha was one of them.
Does he know something we don’t?
Contrary to their expectations, Sebastian explained, “Isn’t it obvious? Only the one who is trained by the warriors of the royal family possesses such skills.”
“The warriors of the royal family? Doesn’t that mean Ichika is the chosen heir of the Minamoto family? My God! How could I have been so blind as to not realize her distinguished position!”
Being a knowledgeable person, Rufus widened his eyes when he heard Sebastian’s words.
It went without saying that everyone else was equally shocked.
No one had expected a clueless girl like Ichika, who never had an agenda, to be the heir to a noble family.
It was simply unbelievable to them.
The Hayeses aside, the paralyzed Himari couldn’t accept the fact too.
“What… What gives you the right to represent the Minamoto family? H-How are you qualified to punish me?”
“Simply based on the fact that I’m the future head of the Minamoto family. Himari, all this while, I’m aware that you are unsatisfied with Dad’s decision to choose me as the heir. However, when I married Mr. Akiyama, I gave up the position and convinced Dad to choose you as my replacement. But in the end, what did you do? Hmm?” Ichika tore into Himari as she pointed her finger angrily at her.
Himari was stunned.
S-She gave up her title as heir? No, that’s impossible. How could she be so stupid as to give such a noble position up? No, she must be lying to me.
Himari refused to believe her. “You’re lying!”
“Why would I lie to you? Ever since I was young, my goal was for our family to be happy. Instead, you wreaked havoc upon the family for the sake of the title. So what if I gave up my position to you? Himari, a capable person doesn’t prove themselves by their position. As long as we have a sense of duty and honor, our family would still be proud of us. Just look at our grandma, Judith. Even though she has left the country and started another family, the entire Minamoto family still respects and admires her greatly.”
Ichika’s final sentence was so inspirational that Sasha couldn’t help but feel humbled by it.
She suddenly realized that the one who carried Judith’s legacy was Ichika and not her. It was obvious she wasn’t worthy of doing so yet.
At that moment, Ichika exuded an air of authoritativeness.
Everyone couldn’t help but feel in awe of her. As for Himari, her spirit was finally broken as she collapsed onto the ground with her face pale as a sheet.
She was no longer able to get up.
And that was how things were.
Evidently, Sebastian was right. Between Giichi’s two daughters, it made sense for him to choose Ichika as the heir.
Whether one was suited for the position or not was obvious from their character.
In the end, Himari was dragged away from the scene. As for Ichika, after watching her sister being taken away, she shot a glance at the defiant Itachi. Biting her lip, Ichika turned toward Solomon and ran up to him.
“Darling… Can I borrow some money? I would like to get rid of him.”
In a split second, her usual clueless self returned. In fact, she looked like a cowardly rabbit.
Everyone was flabbergasted by the sudden change.
As for Solomon, his lips twitched for a moment before he took his phone out of his bathrobe.
“There’s no need to borrow. Is five million enough?”
“Yes, it is!”
Ichika’s eye sparkled brightly.
Just a while ago, she looked terrifying when she was teaching Himari a lesson. But when she raised her gaze again, she looked no different than a harmless kitten.
With the phone in hand, she hurried back to Itachi.
“This is five million. With regards to what happened today, pretend that it never did. From now on, my sister will never return to the Nogita family. You are free to do whatever you please as long as you don’t commit anything that incriminates yourself, or else…”
A cold glint flashed across her eyes, which sent a chill down Itachi’s spine.
After receiving the money, he left without any protest.
The crowd was speechless.
Before they regained their senses, Ichika carefully approached them. Lifting her eyes, she swept her gaze across everyone present.
Before she even said anything, everyone had the sinking feeling that there was no room to object to whatever she was going to say.
This is really frightening!
Fortunately, Ichika only requested everyone to not tell her parents about what had happened. Also, she hoped that they would deal with the aftermath so that the Minamoto family’s reputation would not be sullied any further.
Given that it wasn’t a problem at all, everyone nodded in agreement.
With that, she left with Solomon, while everyone else dispersed at the same time.
Jonathan remarked, “This girl is really extraordinary. She exudes the same aura as her grandma did.”
