Yashita Ichikawa did not want to die. He did not want to die decades ago, and he still did not want to die decades later. He used the excuse that he was about to die and wanted to see Logen one last time to deceive Logen into coming to the East Ocean.
Logen had lost many of his memories at the time, and he had been searching for who he was. When he heard that someone he had interacted with decades ago was looking for him, he came to the East Ocean with great interest.
Yashita Ichiko straightforwardly put forward his request to Logan. Naturally, this request was flatly rejected by Logan. However, this was within Yashita Ichikawa's expectations.
After being rejected by Logen, Yashita Ichikawa made another request. "I want to live to protect my granddaughter, Mariko. I don't want her to be harmed," he said at the time.
"The yakuza, the East Ocean government, all of them will harm her. Even her father cannot be trusted. Because I will pass on the entire Yashita Corporation to her. "Yashita Ichikawa held onto Logen's hand and said weakly.
Not long after he said that, Yashita Ichikawa fell into a coma and was declared dead by the doctor after a period of resuscitation.
In the end, Logen agreed to his other request, which was to protect Mariko Yashita. The woman who appeared as gentle as water, the perfect embodiment of Yamato Fukiko.
In the process of protecting Mariko, Logen fell into Mariko's gentle trap, and he fell in love with this woman. From Mariko's mouth, Logan learned everything that had happened.
Her father, Yashita Shingen, wanted to kill her in order to obtain the leadership of the Yashita Corporation. Her grandfather, Yashita Ichikawa, did not die. Instead, he went into hiding.
Yashita Ichikawa did not give up on seizing Logen's self-healing factor. In order to protect Mariko, Logen fell into a bitter battle. Shingen Shingen and Ichikawa used a lot of manpower and resources to deal with him.
Logen once took Mariko to Nagoya City to hide, the same village he had been to before. It was there that he and Mariko spent the happiest months of their lives.
It was also there that Logen completely fell. For the sake of Mariko, he had eliminated Yashita Shingen. Then, he had found Yashita Ichirou's hideout and eliminated him as well.
However, Wolverine did not get the life he had hoped for. Mahida Mariko had once whispered sweet nothings to him, promising to leave with Logen after settling the matters in the East Ocean.
He would completely give up on the Ashida Financial Group. When the time came, he could do whatever he wanted. However, after Logan dealt with all the stumbling blocks before Mariko's ascension to the throne, this woman seized control of the entire conglomerate with lightning speed.
She had already planted a large number of her trusted aides in the consortium, and she was only waiting for Logen to eliminate the biggest obstacle for her. Only then would she be able to completely unify the Yashida consortium for the last time.
After unifying the Ashida Financial Group, this woman's true nature began to slowly reveal itself. As a direct descendant of the Yashita family, she also had the same bloodline as her ancestor, sinister and vicious.
All her gentleness was a pretense to protect herself. All her honeyed words of love were a trap that had been calculated and carefully thought out.
Perhaps Mariko had fallen in love with Logen for a moment, but as she had said, she loved Logen, but she loved herself even more. She began to distance herself from Logen, and she did not mind revealing her vicious side to Logen.
Logen was deceived, and his heart was broken. In the end, he decided to leave the East Ocean and return to his homeland, Canada, to continue his life as a vagabond. He treated everything that happened in the East Ocean as a mere interlude in his life, and Mariko as nothing more than a passerby.
But when Logen received news from Li Jie, he understood that Mariko was far more frightening and scheming than he had imagined.
This woman was intelligent, even more so than her father and grandfather. From a meticulous female perspective, she understood that Logen was not an ordinary person the moment they first met.
Especially when Logen protected her time and time again, she understood how powerful this man was. She understood that such a man could not be easily destroyed. Her father and grandfather's plan was nothing more than a pipe dream.
Mariko disguised herself as a bird with broken wings to deceive Logen's sympathy. In fact, before she gained power, she had been pretending for many years.
Not only did she deceive Logen, but she also deceived her father and grandfather. She allowed two men with the traditional chauvinism of the East Ocean to look down on her.
Was Logen's self-healing factor eye-catching, or even tempting? The answer: Yes. No one could resist the temptation of longevity and eternal health.
But Mariko's sharp senses told her that to Logen, any forceful method would only incite a violent backlash from this powerful man.
Mariko also hoped to obtain the self-healing gene. Unlike her grandfather's simple and crude method, she believed that the self-healing gene had broader uses.
Thus, Mariko used the advantage unique to women to seduce Logen. She made Logen fall madly in love with her. This was not just to control Logen and get him to help clear away obstacles. More importantly, she needed Logen's bloodline genes.
She wanted to be pregnant with Logen's child!
And when she became pregnant with Logen's child, Logen helped her clear away all obstacles. The Kanto Queen of the East Ocean began to ascend the throne.
In order to prevent Logen from finding out about her pregnancy, Mariko began to distance herself from Logen. Not only did she treat him coldly, but she also began to reveal her true colors in front of him.
This caused Logen to become increasingly depressed. In the end, he left the East Ocean. All of this was part of Mariko's plan. She could not let Logen know that she had a child.
Because Mariko knew very well how much damage a berserk wolverine could cause. The bloody massacre was still vivid in her mind.
Thus, when Logen appeared in the vicinity of Nagoya, she immediately went to look for him. After a bout of entanglement with wolverine, she used words to provoke Logen into preparing to leave the East Ocean once more.
Everything was fine at first. But just as he was about to board the plane, a postcard from Li Jie stopped Logen.
And now, Logen understood everything. Everything was probably within Mariko's calculations. She wanted the self-healing gene, but she did not want to fight the powerful wolverine head-on.
She chose a tortuous and roundabout path, not hesitating to waste more than a decade of her time. She waited for her and Logen's child to grow up, to the point where his abilities began to appear, to the point where he could begin experimenting.
