It would be a shnot to praise him, but Sheldon's acting skills were indeed on point.

When you arrived in Japan, I wanted to personally welcyou at the airport and arrange the hotel stay for you, but I didn't expect to encounter so many incidents either." 4 Sheldon hurriedly replied, "Oh, there's no need to be so courteous, Mr. Ito. We the Schulz and Ito family have a long defining history. We will definitely continue to strengthen our cooperation and deepen our relationship in the future. Why should we be bothered over something so insignificant?" i Ito Yahiko saw through his hypocrisy and wanted to hurl his breakfast out, but all he could do was nod his head in agreement. "You're right. We shouldn't be so bothered over something so petty as this..." 3 Sheldon nodded in content and continued with a serious tone. "Mr. Ito, although the things that have happened in Tokyo the past two days were chaotic and had caused you sserious injuries, I'd still like to try and set things right. Once the series of events blows over, Ito family will still remain the biggest winner!" 5 Ito Yahiko knew exactly what Sheldon meant. He knew that in addition to explaining the situation, Sheldon also wanted to remind him that the family benefitting from the squabble was his family, the Ito's, and the mastermind was no other than Sheldon Schulz.
To put it in simpler terms, Sheldon was trying to remind Ito Yahiko not to forget his contribution to Ito family. 1 But this kind of favor was not something that Yahiko would like to owe Schulz's so quickly. 3 The main reason why Ito family was able to grace the current situation was not because of Sheldon, but Charlie Wade. 3 The Ito family did not rely on Schulz family at all. In fact, the reason Sheldon Schulz's own son and daughter were able to remain alive was all thanks to Charlie.
If it weren't for his help, the two children would have been dead by now, and they wouldn't be able to find the murderer. 6 Yahiko couldn't help but sigh. "Oh, Mr. Schulz, the Ito family is barely making through this rough patch...' As he spoke, he patted his own thighs and continued sighing loudly. "Look at my legs; they are completely useless now. If it wasn't for my loyal servant Tanaka who pushedoff the viaduct, I would have been slashed to death." 4 Ito Yahiko purposely brought this up to prove to Sheldon subtly that his survival had nothing to do with Sheldon or Schulz family.
He then continued, "As for my daughter, she was ambushed by ninjas in Kyoto and very luckily was saved by a master. Otherwise, I would probably be attending my daughter's funeral now. Imagine a poor white-haired old man like myself sending off his young, black-haired daughter!" 6 Yahiko then pretended to be curious and casually asked, "By the way, Mr. Schulz, your son, and daughter, it seems like they were also saved by the mysterious master in Kyoto, am I right?" 4 Sheldon listened to every word of his, and his expression turned a little sour. 2 Sheldon's intention was to remind Ito Yahiko that he had the last laugh only because Sheldon had at least contributed half of the effort to kill off Takahashi Machi and Matsumoto Yoshito. 3

The meaning was also simple and straightforward: Don't askto thank you because I won't. We both should be thankful to the mysterious master, or else my daughter would have perished along with your son and daughter, i Sheldon instantly felt shot down, but he couldn't refute Yahiko's words.
After all, his own children were indeed saved by this mysterious person.
He even asked them the identity of the person. Such enormous power... would it be possible to take him in and use his power for his own needs? But according to Sophie, that mysterious man did not seem to regard the duo very highly. He was very dismissive.
The main reason he helped them was that he was actually y trying to save Nanaka. It was just coincidental that had he chased them all the way. X
