Chapter 731 Refused To Accept Her Fate

Yama was anxiously waiting for the divine pills to arrive.

He was so eager to get his hands on the pills that he had instructed his family to arrange an ambulance to send him to the airport.

The Tokugawa family was indeed influential in Jetroina. Not only did they have their private plane, but they also had a high-end lounge in their private hangar, where Yama and Mina, his daughter, hung out while waiting for the divine pills.

Mina's beauty was comparable to that of Haruko, but the former was not trained as a fighter. Mina, who was Yama's only daughter, had been helping his father manage his pharmaceutical company since she was at a young age.

But when she hit twenty-two years old, some of the family members had suggested that the men should take over the business, whereas the women should handle menial chores.

They had intentionally made this move to prevent Mina from having absolute control over the Tokugawa business because they knew she would get married in the future.

The ideology of male superiority was still very much ingrained in the Jetroinian culture. To this day, the Jetroinians still believed that men should be the sole breadwinner of the family. Women, on the other hand, should just stay at home to take care of the family.

As a skilled warrior, Haruko was already an exception in the Tokugawa family. They did not want another powerful female to dominate the family anymore.

That was why they had roped in Takeshi, who had zero experience in running a business, to manage Tokugawa Pharmaceutical. Nonetheless, Yama was still the official chairman of the company.

Mina, who was pushing Yama around in his wheelchair, frowned. "I don't think Takeshi is capable of bringing back the so-called divine pill."

Yama could relate to her feelings. He consoled her by patting the back of her hand. "I know it must be difficult for you to accept that Takeshi is now running the company, but you can't do anything about it because you're a woman. If you were born a man, I'm sure you'd be the best candidate for the position."

Mina clenched her fists, and her eyes gleamed with ambition, but she concurred with what her father said.

Had I been a man, I would for sure be appointed as the next patriarch of the family. So what if I'm a woman? I will not resign to my fate.

Yama continued, "Don't think about it anymore, okay? You're my only daughter, and everything I own will still eventually go to you."

Mina responded with a grin and kept mum.

Deep in her heart, Mina hoped Yama would remain paralyzed for the rest of his life because she was afraid that her father might try to conceive another child should he regain full mobility. She believed he would give it a shot since he was only in his fifties. Should the child turn out to be a boy, she would lose her position in the family.

Meanwhile, Takeshi had touched down at the airport. He was overwhelmed with mixed feelings upon. seeing Yama.

"I've brought back the divine pill safely. Would you like to take it now?" Takeshi passed a box to Yama.

Yama could no longer contain his excitement. His hands were shaking when he accepted the box. This divine pill is going to give me a new lease on life!

During the heyday of Tokugawa Pharmaceutical some ten years ago, Yama had gotten into a racing accident that left him paralyzed.

He had traveled around the world to look for a cure but to no avail. All the hospitals he had visited told him that his paralysis was permanent.

Yama used to be a man with a big ego. Yet after the accident, he could no longer take care of himself. He would need the maid's assistance in everything he did in life, including going to the washroom.

The paralysis had caused Yama to suffer for about a decade. When he thought of the wonders the divine pill could do to his body, tears of joy started brimming in his eyes.

As he opened the box, four black pills appeared before his eyes. Without hesitation, he picked up one of them and swallowed it right away.

A maid then went up and served him a glass of water.
