The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1351-1355

Chapter 1351

Seeing Jiro Kobayashi enter, Nanako Ito frowned. Since their last lunch, he'd harassed her five times, causing her considerable distress. During dinner that day, she'd explicitly stated her preference for a stronger partner, hoping to deter him. However, Kobayashi seemed to ignore her words completely. Worse, he'd moved to the Aurouss Hill International Hotel, directly opposite her, further fueling her dissatisfaction. Her father, Ito Yuhiko, constantly urged her to be friendlier, adding to her frustration. She felt disgusted but couldn't express her anger or dismiss him; he was like an irritating fly buzzing around her ears.

Koichi Tanaka, aware of his eldest lady's aversion to Kobayashi, accepted the flowers Kobayashi offered, saying respectfully, "Mr. Kobayashi, thank you for your thoughtfulness. We appreciate it."

Kobayashi nodded and approached Nanako Ito. Smiling, he said, "Miss Nanako, I'll cheer you on from the audience."

Nanako Ito replied flatly, "Mr. Kobayashi, I prefer quiet before a game. Please leave."

Kobayashi smiled, "I won't say anything; I'll just watch silently!"

Nanako Ito, surprised by his persistence, said, "Mr. Kobayashi, please leave me alone. I'll close my eyes and rest."

Kobayashi simply sat down diagonally across from her. Seeing her calm demeanor, he was captivated. He thought to himself, This woman is truly serene yet dynamic, heroic on stage yet gentle and soft; her beauty is captivating. She's the ideal Yamato Nadeshiko!

(The passage then explains the meaning of "Yamato Nadeshiko" in Japanese culture.) Kobayashi considered Nanako Ito his ideal life partner and resolved to pursue her relentlessly. He believed that winning her would be a life achievement.

Ten minutes later, a competition organizer knocked, announcing, "Ms. Nanako Ito, please prepare to enter the arena. Your match is in Ring Two."

Nanako Ito stood, bowed slightly, and thanked them. Yamamoto Kazuki, with a cold expression, asked, "Which ring is the Chinese player, Aurora?"

The staff replied, "Ring Four."

Chapter 1352

Yamamoto Kazuki told Nanako Ito, "Nanako, I believe you'll defeat your opponent in the first round. I won't attend your match."

Nanako Ito asked curiously, "Master, will you watch Aurora's match?"

"Yes," Yamamoto Kazuki replied. "I want to assess her coach's capabilities. He defeated Rodney Blanks decisively. If he's truly talented, he'll be a significant future threat. I also want to see Aurora's progress under his guidance."

Jiro Kobayashi rushed over, saying, "Mr. Yamamoto, please go ahead. Ms. Nanako, I'll accompany her throughout the game!"

Yamamoto Kazuki shook his head helplessly. He disliked Kobayashi, considering him unworthy of his exceptional student and finding him as annoying as a fly. However, out of respect for the Ito family, he chose to ignore him.

Kobayashi, noticing Yamamoto Kazuki's disregard, felt annoyed but suppressed his irritation. He seized the opportunity to flatter Yamamoto, saying, "Mr. Yamamoto, you're a renowned master. You needn't concern yourself with a second-rate Chinese player's coach. Under your guidance, Nanako will undoubtedly win two consecutive Olympic championships, becoming Japan's shining light!"

Yamamoto Kazuki, flattered by the compliment, felt a surge of pride. His past lack of Olympic success was a major regret. His current goal was to train an Olympic champion.

Nanako Ito and Yamamoto Kazuki left the lounge, followed by Jiro Kobayashi and Koichi Tanaka.

Chapter 1353

As they left, Charlie Wade and Aurora emerged from the next room. Aurora exclaimed, "Master Wade, that's Nanako Ito! And that's Japan's national treasure, Yamamoto Kazuki!"

Charlie Wade, impressed by Nanako Ito's beauty, noticed Jiro Kobayashi staring at him in horror. He recognized Kobayashi as someone unscrupulous.

Kobayashi trembled at the sight of Charlie Wade, recalling the latter's ruthless reputation. He'd investigated Wade after Wade had indirectly poisoned his father, orchestrated his brother's death, and extorted 11.1 billion dollars from his family. He feared meeting Wade.

Charlie Wade, intrigued by Kobayashi's fearful reaction, found him vaguely familiar. He then realized Kobayashi resembled Ichiro Kobayashi, the man whose bodyguards he'd had disposed of.

While Wade observed Kobayashi, Yamamoto Kazuki also assessed him, wondering if he was Aurora's new coach. Kobayashi recognized Wade as his family's nemesis.

Chapter 1354

Charlie Wade, noting Kobayashi's anxious expression, greeted him enthusiastically, "Ah! Mr. Jiro Kobayashi of the Kobayashi family, I presume?"

Kobayashi, terrified, stammered, "Y-Your ExcellencyMr. Charlie Wade, right?"

Charlie Wade laughed, "Mr. Kobayashi is astute. We've never met, yet you recognized me."

Kobayashi internally cursed Wade for the harm he'd inflicted on his family, but outwardly forced a smile.

Charlie Wade commented on Kobayashi's height, noting he was "a spirited guy, but a little short." This deeply offended Kobayashi, who'd always been insecure about his height.

Charlie Wade then remarked on Kobayashi's Mandarin, comparing it favorably to his brother's. He also noted Kobayashi's company's sponsorship of the Sanda competition.

Wade then pointed out Kobayashi's stature to Aurora, jokingly calling him "short." Kobayashi was humiliated.

Chapter 1355

Yamamoto Kazuki, offended by Charlie Wade's perceived arrogance, confronted him. Charlie Wade challenged Yamamoto Kazuki’s confidence in Nanako Ito winning, suggesting that Yamamoto’s experience and teaching were limited compared to true martial arts masters. He implied that Yamamoto's skills were merely those of a "second-rate or third-rate" practitioner, and questioned his ability to truly train a world champion.

Yamamoto Kazuki, angered by Charlie Wade's assessment, retorted, but Charlie Wade remained unconcerned, predicting Yamamoto would soon understand his point.
