The villainous second young lady becomes a god in a bizarre Tokyo.

Even though all four limbs are severed, an A-level character is still an A-level character.

Although it is the weakest of the weak, it is enough to deter ordinary people.

To maintain the dignity of the family head, Xia Rixuanlong cannot be the head of the family, but he is sufficient to serve as a protective shield.

Then, they made Summer Tiger, who was at the peak of B-rank, the head of the family, and with the assistance of Summer Genryu, the two of them together could barely reach the level of a complete A-rank.

That would allow Xia Rixuanlong to share a small portion of the rights.

In that case, Summer Dragon would probably be satisfied.

He, who had no chance at all, not only reached Rank A, but also gained a small portion of the power of the family head; it was simply a blessing from heaven.

Thinking about this, Xia Yuanliu became increasingly satisfied with this idea.

Upon seeing Shui Shenglin, he knew that Shui Shenglin and Xia Rixianlong were inseparable, and that Xia Rixianlong must have arrived at the clan residence by now. He immediately gave the order in a deep voice.

"Summon Genryu to the shrine to see me!"

Upon hearing this, Shui Shenglin remained silent.

It wasn't until Xia Yuanliu sensed something was wrong that he responded heavily, and a surge of murderous intent pressed down on Shui Shenglin's body like a thousand-pound weight.

"What happened?!"

Shui Shenglin then revealed a sorrowful expression, and two tears welled up in his deep blue eyes—a tough man shedding tears.

He said, his voice slightly choked with emotion.

"Young Master, he..."

"died."

Once inside the Xiahuoshan system, for some reason, Shui Shenglin gained the organization's traditional acting buff. He suddenly discovered that he could easily and skillfully shed tears.

"!!!!!!"

"How can it be?!!"

"Who dares to kill a member of the Xia family?!"

Xia Riliu's slightly open pupils suddenly widened in anger, his two white eyebrows bared like tiger whiskers, and his originally normal body swelled up with rage, his muscles bulging out like snakes and pythons.

It exudes a terrifying aura.

Unconsciously, a surging and vast killing intent swept over the entire shrine. Mizuki Rin felt as if he were on a battlefield, facing the killing intent of millions of people, which was suffocating and hard to accept.

However, when he managed to lift his head and look up...

But then I saw the bird-masked deity, its lips slightly upturned, as if it were smiling.

At this moment, Xia Yuanliu's mind was filled with thoughts that kept popping up like endlessly burning sparks.

In this country, everyone with superpowers knows the name of the Xia Ri Zaibatsu and the identity of Xia Ri Xuanlong.

Even an A-level being, the leader of a powerful force, wouldn't dare kill the young master of the Xia Ri Consortium, let alone Xia Ri Xuanlong, one of the heirs to the family headship!

It should be noted that the Summer Zaibatsu is still alive today, and his former fame still exists. Not to mention, the Summer Zaibatsu's god has overwhelming combat power, ranking among the top of all gods.

Even in his later years, Xia Riyuanliu, who possessed such a divine artifact, remained at the peak of his combat power. In fact, because of the artifact, his combat power was even greater than at its peak once he used it!

With such a strong foundation, even other major conglomerates would have to think twice before killing the heir to the Xia family head.

"Who?! Who?!"

"Who on earth is it?!"

Xia Yuanliu stood up, his pale golden pupils almost turning blood red, and he angrily rebuked Shui Shenglin.

You see, his perfect idea was destroyed by some unknown entity before it could even be implemented, so he had no choice but to resort to a middle-ground strategy.

This fueled his anger, doubling it in intensity.

The death of Xia Rixuanlong is not the most important thing; what is important is that it ruined his plans and destroyed the future development of the Xia Rizai Group.

Seeing that Shui Shenglin was unable to move or speak under the oppressive killing intent, Xia Yuanliu quickly withdrew some of the suppression and waited for the other party to speak.

But then he saw Shui Shenglin say with great sorrow.

“Master, there is not only one enemy. I was facing another B-rank enemy. When I rushed back, I saw the young master’s body being burned.”

The implication is that they don't know who the enemy is.

Xia Yuanliu was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent it, so he quickly searched his mind for his enemies.

Among them, one figure rapidly began to enlarge.

—Lord of Xiahuo Mountain!

Only the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain is not afraid of the Summer Zaibatsu's retaliation, because the other party has already made a complete enemy of the Summer Zaibatsu.

However, he immediately dismissed the idea.

According to Naoto Natsuhi's information, Natsuhi Genryu's death and the appearance of the Lord of Natsuhi Mountain in Kyoto were very close in time, unless it was a teleportation by a space-type ability user.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to cross such a long distance.

Moreover, the distance between Kyoto and Yokohama now is very short, even for a single A-rank being...

—It would be impossible to complete the teleportation without the deaths of a dozen or so B-level spatial ability users.

All the B-level spatial ability users from all the factions combined don't even number this many, and no A-level spatial ability users have appeared yet.

If it was done by the lord of Xiahuo Mountain, then it's even more impossible.

If the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain possessed subordinates capable of killing peak B-rank cultivators, why didn't he bring them along when he attacked Xia Rizong's residence?

Moreover, the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain is clearly an emerging force, and it's impossible for him to gather B-rank subordinates so easily. For example, the B-rank subordinates of financial groups are all cultivated slowly by themselves.

As for the exception, Rin Rei Natsumi, according to the Supernatural Abilities Association's informants, is currently working for the association.

So, who exactly is it?!

Xia Yuanliu was filled with boundless rage, with nowhere to vent it!

Chapter 124: Summer Flower Painting and Grand Filial Piety

Summer Day Liu never imagined that summer flower paintings could appear in both Kyoto and Yokohama at the same time.

However, the one in Kyoto is merely her divine form.

"Damn it!"

Xia Yuanliu's right arm gleamed with an alloy-like luster. He slammed his fist heavily into the supporting pillar beside him, causing it to shatter instantly.

The death of Xia Rixuanlong completely negated his plans, forcing him to devise other solutions.

Otherwise, we can only choose the middle option.

Forcibly upgrading to A-rank through special methods using artifacts is not without its side effects. The most obvious one is that the power of A-rank is not as strong as that of A-rank achieved through self-breakthrough.

The other point is lifespan.

Living to fifty is considered a success.

If Natsumi Yasutora doesn't have a child who reaches A-level aptitude before he turns fifty, then the succession of the Natsumi family head will face a gap.

This will only add a lot of variables.

Leaving aside external threats, the current Wild Beast and Water Life factions might just be harboring ambitions to further seize control of the Summer Zaibatsu.

However, if it is the child of Summer Tiger, then the chances of the Beast lineage are greater.

This is one of the drawbacks of the multi-pulse race.

When the main clan is dominant, it has no problem suppressing other clans. But once the main clan weakens, the other clans will be eyeing it covetously.

Xia Yuanliu's expression was gloomy and uncertain, but he knew that now was not the time to hesitate.

Commands must be issued quickly.

"Aquatic life produces scales."

"Gather a team to investigate the clues and go to the site of Xuanlong's death to search for every possible clue!"

"Which faction killed Xuanlong?!"

After hesitating for a moment, he continued.

"Also, inform Shui Sheng Shoucheng to take charge of Xuanlong's funeral."

Shui Sheng Shoucheng is the head of the Shui Sheng lineage and has some connection with the previous head, Xia Rixuanlong's mother's father.

We will take care of Xia Rixuanlong's funeral properly.

At this point, Xia Yuanliu couldn't help but sigh.

The elderly send off another elderly person... because the entire Xia Ri lineage has white hair.

Although Xia Riliu is the head of the family and everything he does serves the prosperity of the conglomerate, Xia Rixuanlong is still his proud second son. He was born two years later than Xia Ritaihu, but his level of superpower is in no way inferior to his opponent's.

In terms of talent alone, Summer Dragon is better than Summer Tiger.
