Chapter 83 - To Japan Again
A woman came with a pink powder which she put on a flower petal.
"Shut up, Young Man! Open your eyes! This lotus flower pollen will heal your eyes."
"Thank you. My eyes don't hurt anymore." The silver-haired man, who was partly tied up, spoke.
"Forgive my daughter's carelessness, Son...?"
"Vincent. You can just call me Vin."
"Oh yes, Son. Where exactly are you from?" The Queen asked.
"I'm a prince from the Land of Fire-Water. If I may ask, where am I currently?" Vin asked softly to the woman who was his mother's age.
"You are in the Crystal Land Palace. And I am Acasha, the Queen of the Crystal Lands." The Queen said while rubbing Vin's head gently.
Vin immediately bowed, and put his right hand on his chest.
"Sincerely, Queen."
"There's no need to be so shy, Son. Get some rest! If you need anything there are ladies-in-waiting outside."
"Thank you, Queen."
Queen Acasha nodded and left the room.
Behind the door stood a beautiful girl, she looked so worried. Well, who else if not Princess Aludra?
Princess Aludra immediately pulled her mother's arm.
"How is the foreign man doing, Mother?" asked Princess Aludra.
"It's getting better, it seems. But, I saw that his left eye turned golden. He claimed to be a prince from the Land of Fire-Water," said the Queen Acasha.
"Done with me, Mom! Don't let my father know I hurt the prince of the Land of Fire-Water." Princess Aludra pleaded with her mother.
"Okay, mommy will keep this a secret from your dad." Queen Acasha responded to her daughter's request.
"Thank you, Mom." Princess Aludra kissed her mother's cheek.

-Yokohama, Japan-
In an instant, Zhang Sifeng and Zhang Yushen had arrived right near the gates of the Watanabe Family's house.
As usual, it was as if the guards had been waiting for their arrival. Before they rang the bell, the guards had already opened the gate for them.
The atmosphere is still the same as eleven months ago. Dozens of men in black suits and glasses were still standing guard around the European-style house. Without reducing the typical Japanese building there is a small garden in the side yard.
An old man, growing in height was waiting for Yushen and Sifeng at the door. He sensed that his grandson would arrive. It's just intuition.
The man hugged Sifeng and Yushen gently.
"Hahaha, long time no see, My Grandchildren! I firmly believe that you will return," said the old man as he lightly patted Sifeng and Yushen's back.
"Come on, come on in!" take the old man.
Sifeng and Yushen bowed before they finally followed the old man from behind. Sifeng and Yushen learn how to 'ojigi' on the internet.
The three of them sat in the living room. Sifeng had a tense expression on his face every time he entered the house. Sifeng did not know the cause. Perhaps, he was just afraid of being rejected as in the past.
"How are you? How is your father?" asked Mr. Yoshinori Watanabe, who was none other than Sifeng's biological grandfather.
"We're fine, Grandpa. Dad's fine too," Yushen replied.
Ask how Sifeng reacted? The boy looks so tense. Yushen finally patted Sifeng on the shoulder to wake Sifeng from his daydream.
"Huh, what?" said Sifeng, awkwardly.
"I hope you remember what you came here for, A-Feng! Don't get too carried away!" whispered Yushen, followed by a small pinch on his sister's thigh.
Sifeng nodded. Then Sifeng turned to look at Mr. Watanabe. Sifeng cupped his hands together.
"Grandfather, I apologize in advance. Although I am no longer expected in this family, but I still ask for your help. We ask for your help to restore our company, Grandpa!"
Sifeng's voice sounded so nervous. Even Sifeng took all night to memorize this dialogue. And Sifeng said it in one breath.
"I hope you don't take your mother's words to heart 11 months ago, Son. Believe me, you are my biological grandson! You will always be my grandson, Takumi," said Mr. Watanabe.
"Hah, Takumi?!" said Yushen, surprised. Yushen glanced at Sifeng.
Sifeng, who was also ignorant, replied by shrugging his shoulders.
"Then that means you are willing to be a major investor in our company, Grandpa?" Sifeng asked again. He focused his gaze on his grandfather.
"Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of authority, Son. I can only invest, but I don't have the authority to cooperate with your company. Grandfather doesn't own a company in the same field as yours.
"But, I have an acquaintance who owns a property company. I would recommend your company to cooperate with this big company," said Mr. Watanabe with a friendly smile.
"Thank you, Grandpa. I promise I will do whatever it takes to repay your kindness." Sifeng knelt at his grandfather's feet.
"Hahaha, never mind! There's no need to be like this, right?" Mr. Watanabe helped Sifeng to his feet. The man told Sifeng to sit beside him. After that, she hugged Sifeng gently back.

In a majestic place, a man with tattoos all over his body is smoking a cigar.
A moment later, someone came to him and lowered his head before finally making a sound.
"Report, Chief. As it turns out, the grandson of Mr. Yoshinori Watanabe is still alive. He is currently in Japan with his half-brother."
"Hmm, alright! Keep me posted about those damn Watanabe!" said the tattooed man. He smiled mysteriously as he continued to smoke his cigar.
Who is that mysterious man? What's the matter with him investigating the Watanabe family?

A man walked unsteadily down the hall in this magnificent palace. A glittering palace on every side.
Red lotus flowers also grow on the right and left side of the hallway. The man seemed to be walking in a red lotus desert, but he wasn't. The walls, floor and roof are made of shimmering red crystal.
The man didn't know what to call this place? Red lotus flowers can grow in a room? It's really weird, isn't it? Even the floor had no earth element, which a lotus root could occupy.
Vincent Greyrat continued to walk side by side in the room, hoping to find out where the Ancient Library was.
Well, Vin realized this was the Crystal Country his grandmother was talking about the other day. Luckily, the snow horse took him to the right place. Gil's Snow Horse once, now considers Vin his master.
"Hey, where are you going, huh?" A voice stopped Vin's steps.
Vin turned and gasped when the long sword was a few millimeters from his neck. Vin froze in place. He looked suspiciously at the owner of the sword. A girl, whom Vin believes has seen the girl somewhere. The girl's face was so familiar to Vin.
"You must be an intruder, right?" said the owner of the sword.
Slowly, Vin pulled the sword away from his neck using his index finger. Vin approached the owner of the sword. No words were spoken.
Vin roughly grabbed the girl's waist and pulled her closer to his body.
"Vin, you've grown up now, huh?" Maybe that's what Gil would say if Gil were here and saw how his little brother teased a girl.
The girl was so nervous that she dropped her sword.
"Don't cross your limit!" said the girl, a little frightened.
However, Vin ignored him. Vin brought his face to the girl's ear and whispered, "Sorry, you're not my type!"
A moment later, Vin left the girl with a thousand questions.
The girl blinked in disbelief. What was the meaning of the foreign man's words doing like that? Just make a heart sport, the girl thought.
"Hey! I'm not letting you go after this, Damn Man!" shouted the girl, who was none other than the Princess Aludra, the princess of this Crystal Land. Actually, he was the one who had injured Vin's eyes yesterday.

-Yokohama, Japan-
Zhang Yushen was enjoying the afternoon drinking tea in the side garden. Yushen didn't know why, Yushen really liked the place. Yushen went to get a coat because Yushen felt that the weather this afternoon was very cold.
Yushen was about to enter Watanabe's main house, before suddenly a girl bumped into Yushen and spilled the cappuccino on the clothes Yushen was currently wearing.
"Sorry! I'm sorry, Sir! I really didn't mean to," said the girl.
The girl tried to clean Yushen's clothes with her bare hands. The girl rubbed her finger on the cappuccino spilled earlier. For a moment, the girl could feel the curves on Yushen's sixpack stomach.
"Never mind! It's okay, Miss!" Yushen took a few steps back. Because Yushen felt weird being held like that.
"No, Sir. I have soiled your clothes. Now take off your clothes, I will wash them." The girl forced while tugging at the hem of Yushen's shirt.
Zhang Yushen flinched slightly at the girl's strange request.
"No need, Miss. I'll clean it myself later." Yushen refused.
