My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Ran Mouri's father is currently just a clueless detective who only receives simple detective assignments.

Without Conan's help, he wouldn't have achieved the fame and connections of a renowned detective.

Chapter 58 Don't call her Auntie, call her Mother-in-law

"Big brother, is that girl with the overwhelming sense of justice pretty?"

Unlike Takayanagi Mitsuka, Takayanagi Kaoru wasn't worried that the girl with such a strong sense of justice might have some powerful backing that would make things difficult for Takayanagi Ichiro.

In Kaoru Takayanagi's eyes, Ichiro Takayanagi is the most powerful person, and no danger or difficulty can stop him.

What he cared about was whether the girl with such a strong sense of justice was pretty. If she was pretty, she would become his rival.

"She's probably pretty."

After all, the other party is Eri Kisaki's daughter, so of course she inherited Eri Kisaki's beauty.

After hearing this answer, Kaoru Takayanagi has come to regard Ran Mouri as his rival.

"Big brother, I'll have a good competition with that woman with an overflowing sense of justice at Teitan High School. I'll show you what I'm capable of."

Whether it's learning ability or the abilities a woman should have, Kaoru Takayanagi intends to surpass Ran Mouri in order to attract Ichiro Takayanagi's attention.

"Sure, I'm looking forward to your competition."

Ichiro Takayanagi wasn't angry; in fact, he was looking forward to Kaoru Takayanagi and Ran Mouri meeting.

Since Takayanagi Ichiro has already agreed to his daughter's request, Takayanagi Mitsuka won't offer any further reminders; it would only make her seem like a busybody.

"Ichiro, since we're going back to Tokyo tomorrow, I'll go pack my things."

Takayanagi Mitsuka wanted to pack some things, but Takayanagi Ichiro shook his head and stopped her.

After all, the most important things, Takayanagi Ichiro, have already placed in the system space; this is merely a symbol of the Takayanagi family.

All we need to do is let the maids from the Takayanagi family next door come in occasionally to help clean and maintain the appearance of the Takayanagi family's main residence.

"Auntie, don't bother packing anything else, you can pack me properly instead."

Upon hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's nickname, Takayanagi Mitsuka shook her head.

"Ichiro, there's absolutely nothing between me and that old bastard. You don't need to call me aunt."

She called Gao Liu Mihua "aunt" at the funeral hall just to provoke him.

But there's no need to keep calling her aunt now, so Gao Liu Mihua wants to correct that.

"Mom, let my older brother call you Mother-in-law, that would be more exciting, right?"

Kaoru Takayanagi suddenly spoke up at this moment, leaving Ichiro Takayanagi and Mitsuka Takayanagi speechless.

"What's wrong with that? I'm my eldest brother's bride, and Mom, you'll definitely be my eldest brother's mother-in-law."

Faced with Kaoru Takayanagi's matter-of-fact explanation, Ichiro Takayanagi laughed and looked at Mitsuka Takayanagi, who was blushing, and said:

"Mother-in-law, please take good care of your son-in-law from now on."

"Forget about the future, let me show you your mother-in-law's love today."

Kaoru Takayanagi said that she grabbed Ichiro Takayanagi with one hand and Mitsuka Takayanagi with the other, and that their destination was Ichiro Takayanagi's room.

..............

When Ichiro Takayanagi brought Mitsuka Takayanagi and Kaoru Takayanagi to the Tokyo office, he felt it was time to buy a car.

Because he was in school and his mind was focused on how to take back the Takayanagi family, he had no intention of buying a car.

After completing his replacement, Takayanagi Ichiro didn't have time to buy a car because he was about to return to the Takayanagi family home to attend his uncle's second marriage wedding.

This time I'm back to make a good start in Tokyo, so buying a car is necessary.

As for the house, let's leave it like this for now. After all, right now, Takayanagi Ichiro only has Takayanagi Mitsuka and Takayanagi Kaoru by his side, and there are rooms available upstairs in the office.

If I have more girls around me in the future, I might consider buying a house, and it has to be a very big one.

"Brother, is this your office in Tokyo? It's a bit small compared to the Takayanagi main office."

Before Ichiro Takayanagi returned to become the head of the Takayanagi family, Kaoru Takayanagi's activities within the main Takayanagi family were limited, but he could still sense that the main Takayanagi family estate was quite large.

After arriving in Tokyo, a big city, he found it to be much smaller, which is why he made that remark.

"Xiao Xun, this is where your older brother's business is just starting out. It will definitely grow bigger and bigger in the future."

At this moment, Gao Liu Mihua reminded her daughter to be careful with her words.

"Just like your mother said, it will grow bigger and bigger in the future, so don't worry about your life here."

"Ichiro, then I'll take Kaoru to do some cleaning."

After all, you haven't been back for several days, so you need to get things sorted out properly.

Takayanagi Mitsuka did not consider herself the mistress of the house, even though her daughter had become Takayanagi Ichiro's bride.

She knew that Takayanagi Ichiro was an outstanding man, so the mistress of the house must also be an outstanding one.

Of course, she wouldn't lower herself to a lower status; she would still fight for what she needed to fight for.

Just like now, not everyone is qualified to clean Ichiro Takayanagi's room.

"Then you can go upstairs and tidy up a bit. I'll also organize my documents."

After receiving this instruction, Takayanagi Mitsuka and Takayanagi Kaoru immediately went upstairs, while Takayanagi Ichiro's gaze fell on the Mori Detective Agency not far away.

The scene of the three of them returning is something Kogoro Mouri will definitely be able to see if he is in the office.

However, Kogoro Mouri has no intention of resolving the debt problem, so it seems he can only wait for his daughter Ran Mouri to come home from school.

However, to Takayanagi Ichiro's surprise, he spotted a familiar face the moment he looked away – Eri Kisaki, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time.

Before leaving the Takayanagi family home last time, Eri Kisaki left a note for Ichiro Takayanagi, saying that they should separate and calm down.

Although she had said that she would visit Ichiro Takayanagi's office when she had time in the future.

However, Eri Kisaki did not have the address of Ichiro Takayanagi's office. Either she would contact Ichiro Takayanagi herself, or Ichiro Takayanagi would contact her.

Seeing that Eri Kisaki was about to disappear, Ichiro Takayanagi immediately took out his phone and dialed Eri Kisaki's number.

It's a bit unrealistic to call out to Eri now, because the distance is too far.

Not long after, Eri Kisaki's phone was answered.

"Mosimoxi?"

"It's me, senior. I've already taken care of the main branch of the Takayanagi family. If you have time, why don't you come over to my office for a bit?"

After Ichiro Takayanagi revealed his identity, Eri Kisaki remained slightly silent on the other end of the phone.

Because she learned about what had happened to the main branch of the Takayanagi family through some channels.

Although the position of head of the Takayanagi family originally belonged to his junior, wasn't his way of doing things a bit too unscrupulous, completely different from what he had imagined?

"Ichiro, I have something to do today and it's inconvenient for me to come to your office. Let's do it another time when I'm free."

Chapter 59 Greeting Eri Kisaki in front of Kogoro

Eri Kisaki doesn't dislike Ichiro Takayanagi; rather, she worries that she won't be able to control herself if she sees him.

After returning from the Takayanagi family home last time, her student Kuriyama Midori said that her entire demeanor seemed to have been elevated, and she had completely become a different person.

She asked Eri if she had secretly taken any supplements or used any good cosmetics, as she wanted to try them too.

Kuriyama Midori is Eri Kisaki's student. She has never been in a relationship, so she doesn't know that romantic love can be quite helpful to one's mental well-being.

Eri Kisaki couldn't directly say that her improved condition was due to a very close relationship with Ichiro Takayanagi, so she could only say that she had fulfilled a wish from ten years ago.

Kuriyama Midori, of course, had no doubts. As Eri Kisaki's student, she had some understanding of her teacher's past and knew that she had been saving money to pay back the debt.

Because she's been thinking about this matter a lot these past two days, Eri's condition has slightly declined.

So I've been thinking about whether or not to contact Ichiro Takayanagi and maintain this state of mind.

As a woman, and a prominent lawyer at that, she had her own principles and would not proactively call Ichiro Takayanagi.

Now that Takayanagi Ichiro has taken the initiative to call her, she is afraid that if she goes there, she won't be able to control herself when they meet, so she refuses Takayanagi Ichiro.

"Senior, don't be so heartless. I just saw you."

I called you because you wouldn't hear me when I shouted.

"Impossible, how did you know where I was?"

Eri Kisaki isn't some little girl who would be easily fooled by such lies. She came here today mainly to see Kogoro Mouri.

Now that she had been intimate with Ichiro Takayanagi, she needed to have a proper talk with Kogoro Mouri about her relationship with him.

The two could secretly divorce beforehand, as long as they kept it from Ran Mouri.

Unfortunately, after arriving at the Mouri Detective Agency, Eri did not see Kogoro Mouri, and even after calling him, there was no response, which greatly disappointed her.

It's understandable that Kogoro Mouri wants to be a chauvinist, but he shouldn't be hiding from me.

Last time when she was at the Takayanagi family's main residence, Ran Mouri called her late at night to say that Kogoro Mouri was out all night.

Eri Kisaki certainly didn't mean to persuade Kogoro Mouri; she just hoped he would think carefully about his daughter's future.

If he doesn't take good care of his daughter, Ran Mouri might be tricked away by Shinichi's sweet talk, and then Eri Kisaki would fight for Ran's custody.

Ichiro Takayanagi said he saw himself, but unless his agency is located nearby, there is absolutely no way that could be possible.

"Senior, you're wearing a light blue suit today, aren't you?"

Ichiro Takayanagi didn't offer much explanation, but instead mentioned Eri Kisaki's outfit that day.

Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki was immediately shocked, because she was wearing a light blue suit today.

"Ichiro, where are you?"

"I live next to a Maori detective agency, and the newly opened loan company next door is my agency."

I thought it was my senior, that you found out my office address in Tokyo through other channels and came to see me ahead of time.
