100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 778 Ask Godfather's Help

Day Eighty-One…

Everyone was surprised to witness Arthur Wayne burst into a peal of unrestrained laughter. He seemed to enjoy his conversation with his grandson's date, Hanabi.

The woman looked a little bit serious so they didn't know what made the old man laugh. There was no way she cracked some joke with a straight face.

"Hanabi, I want to know you more." Alexander's grandfather expressed his interest to know Hanabi.

"I'm fine with that, sir," Hanabi responded with a faint smile.

Meanwhile, Alexander just darted his gaze back and forth between Hanabi and his grandpa. He was worried that Hanabi might say something again that would blow their cover.

His grandfather was a wise man. He could easily detect if someone was lying to him. He wondered if the old man had already figured out that they were a fake couple.

"What do you do? What is your occupation?" Arthur started profiling Hanabi. Did she come from a prestigious family as well?

"I'm working under the Sawada Clan. I'm the leader of their specialized unit," Hanabi replied, without filtering her words.

Alexander: "..."

Arthur: "..."

The grandfather and grandson duo exchanged meaningful glances with one another while the other guests who heard Hanabi started whispering. No one had expected her to mention her real work, revealing her connection with the Sawada Clan.

The Sawada Clan was a notorious organization in Country J along with the Red Dragon Mafia. The two organizations were still competing with each other.

The Red Dragon Mafia made several attempts to form an alliance with the Sawada Clan. But until now, they had never received a positive response from the opposing faction.

Who would have thought that Hanabi was a member of the Sawada Clan and she was a high-ranking official?

'My grandson managed to invite a representative of the Sawada Clan… he even introduced her as his girlfriend. Hmm, things are getting more exciting and interesting.' Arthur rejoiced inwardly. He heard that Alexander had been trying to pursue Mr. Hiroshi about this alliance. He wondered if Hanabi's presence was already a good sign for the possible alliance between the two organizations.

"Hanabi, if you don't mind, I would like to ask if your organization is willing to join forces with us?" Arthur asked her directly. He was frank to her.

Hanabi shifted her gaze to Alexander before answering Arthur Wayne. "It depends on your grandson's performance. Our godfather will assess his sincerity and capability."

"I thought you were his girlfriend, why don't you convince your leader to accept Alexander's proposal?" Old Man Arthur was trying to test Hanabi. How would she respond to that?

Alexander was about to utter a word on Hanabi's behalf but he stopped when he met his grandfather's warning glare. He signaled him to stay quiet. He only wanted to hear Hanabi's response.

Hanabi smiled meaningfully after hearing Arthur's suggestion. "I believe you know our godfather, sir. He is not someone who will get swayed by someone like me. I'm in no position to influence his decision. The only people who could change his mind and influence his decision are his daughters."

"Furthermore, if our godfather would ask me to break up with your grandson, I'll do it without asking any question. My loyalty still belongs to him, his daughters and the Sawada Clan."

Arthur fell silent when he heard that. He didn't know how he would react. Meanwhile, Alexander looked a little bit problematic.

'Oh no! This is bad. She can't even pretend that I am more important to her than her clan.' Alexander facepalmed while shaking his head in disappointment.

'My grandfather probably knows now that we are not a couple.' he lamented inwardly.

"Okay. For my last and final question, Hanabi…" Arthur paused for a moment, casting a look at his grandson. Alexander averted his gaze, avoiding his grandfather's eyes.

"Are you willing to marry my grandson?" the old man turned to her with a serious expression on his face.

Meanwhile, Alexander glanced at Hanabi anxiously. He had a bad feeling about this. He could already imagine how she would respond. 'Since she is so honest I bet she will answer NO.' Alexander almost forgot to breathe as he waited for Hanabi's response. He braced himself to what she was going to say.

"Yes, I am," Hanabi declared.

Alexander: "..."

'What? What did she just say?' Alexander blinked several times in disbelief, wondering if he heard it wrong. He hastily turned to Hanabi, giving her a questioning gaze. When she met his eyes, Hanabi just flashed her charming smile.

Badum! Badum!

Alexander's heart jumped off his chest when he locked eyes with her, witnessing her charming smile. 'Wait? Am I imagining things?'

His heart continued beating rapidly against his chest.

"Did you just say yes?" Alexander mumbled, not able to control his curiosity. "Are you sure… you are willing to marry me?" He asked her again for her confirmation, his cheeks blushing.

Arthur also noticed the crimson cheeks of his grandson, along with the anticipation in his eyes as he questioned Hanabi.

'Hmm. I think this is real. My grandson is infatuated with this woman… Hanabi.' The old man couldn't stop himself from smiling. This was the first time he saw his grandson feeling anxious in front of a woman. Hanabi's presence had a powerful effect on him.

'I don't care if they are pretending or not. What I can see right now is my grandson having a crush on this wonderful lady, Hanabi. I like her already.' Arthur added on his thoughts.

"Yes. I'm willing to marry you… especially if my superior will ask me to do it. I won't hesitate," Hanabi responded to Alexander.

The excitement in Alexander's eyes disappeared almost immediately after hearing that. His face contorted in disappointment.

'I knew it! I shouldn't have expected something from this woman. I got excited for nothing.' Alexander pouted his lips, feeling upset and disheartened.

"Hahahaha!" Arthur burst out into a peal of laughter once again. He saw how his grandson got disappointed when Hanabi elaborated her answer.

"Hahaha… my grandson… if you want to marry Hanabi, it looks like you have to ask godfather's approval as well. You should make a lot of efforts to win his favor. Hahaha."
