Chapter 213: FACING REALITY
" You are too much " Elder Amaya shook her head in annoyance.
" I will not share with Isamu," Zineb said. " You don’t expect me to find my mate and then share him? Your children want Isamu for his power and they are just obsessed with him. Let me ask you something Sayuri, what if you find your mate and he finds out you are married to Isamu? Do you think your mate will accept you ?"
Sayuri looked away and I saw the same shattered look on Kata’s face.
" She is playing with your mind " Elder Amaya tried to convince Sayuri.
" What kind of a mother are you? You are already a Yakuza elder and if so, Sayuri is the only one to take your place. I believe that in the ballroom at Fairfields Hotel, you already proved your loyalty when you defended Isamu. What more do you want ?" Zineb demanded.
" I doubt I will ever find my mate," Kata said.
" As for you, do you think that being married to Isamu will elevate your status? The Yakuza already are angry at your father and call him a traitor. The best thing that you can do is discuss this with your father, he steps down from his post as a council member and you step in. That way you will have secured your future"
" You are talking nonsense, " Elder Kanji responded in defense.
" Is she?" I spoke up. " I think for the first time in years, we have someone who is reasoning the right way. I must confess that I have been on the path to immortality for a long time. Hunting down Tizheruk and only to discover that the serpent race is alive and will defend him to his death was an eye-opener. I know that right now their defense has been heightened and hence it will not be easy to take them down. Especially with the fact that they chose to come to Sitka. "
" That is true, " Zineb nodded.
" And let us not even talk about Conri Dolf. No one can match his power" I added.
