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

The only difference is the strength of the momentum.

These points indicate that the blonde girl is definitely under the command of the lord of Xiahuo Mountain.

But when he spoke, he was met with a long silence.

This made Natsumi Yosuke increasingly uneasy, and a string in his mind tightened more and more.

Just when he was about to give up.

The blonde girl finally spoke.

"Good, you have passed the test."

"The three members of the Xia family certainly qualify for cooperation."

Upon hearing this, Natsumi Yosuke breathed a sigh of relief, as it seemed that his conditions had been initially accepted.

"but……"

However, Chikyu's next words made him anxious again.

"As far as I know, the internal struggle of the Summer Zaibatsu is mainly a struggle between the head of the family's first and second sons. The so-called third son has a very little weight in this power struggle."

"With such a low profile, you dare to dream of gaining the support of the Mountain Lord."

Are you trying to fool us?

Summer Yijie's pupils suddenly twitched, his expression wavered, and he felt fear in his heart.

How could the other party possibly know the current internal situation of the Summer Zaibatsu?!

To date, the struggles within the Summer Zaibatsu have been conducted covertly, and they will never allow other organizations or zaibatsu to know the current situation of the Summer Zaibatsu.

Because once they find out, their first thought will be to take a bite out of the Summer Zaibatsu.

The reason why Natsumi Yosuke sought help from external forces was because he had no way to avoid it; whichever of his brothers won, a reckoning would begin.

Natsumi Yosuke himself is not a waste; his talent and methods are actually no less than those of the other two.

He was just born too late; what he lacked was time.

In the future, his two elder brothers will naturally begin to settle scores with him in order to prevent him from growing up, but they just don't have the time to do so right now.

Thus, his actions on this trip became a complete laughing stock.

With virtually no real power, what could he possibly have to garner the support of an A-level official?

"loyalty."

However, at that moment, the blonde girl's slightly ethereal words reached Natsumi Akisuke's ears, like a thunderclap, yet also like an alluring and seductive voice.

"Just offer your loyalty."

"Offer your loyalty and carry out the Lord of the Mountain's orders."

“The merciful mountain lord will give you a little push.”

To reap the rewards, you must first pay the price.

Natsumi Akisuke understood what the other person meant.

Although he didn't wield much real power within the Summer Zaibatsu, he was still the third son of the Summer family, and to those unaware of the inside story, he was just as prestigious as the first and second sons.

Using this, he took charge of the affairs of Xia Huoshan.

However, this will undoubtedly harm the interests of the Summer Zaibatsu, especially if someone finds something to use against them...

Natsumi Akisuke took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"I am willing to offer my loyalty."

This is only temporary. He is acting as the head of Xiahuo Mountain, but isn't he also using the other party's power to seize power for himself?

When his power reaches a certain level.

Maybe this will allow us to shake off the other party.

Of course, this is undoubtedly like asking a tiger for its skin.

But he had no choice but to take a gamble!

"very good."

The blonde girl nodded slightly, a satisfied look on her face.

Tonight, she finally completed the task her mother assigned her successfully, unlike the previous times when she could only barely get a passing grade.

"However, given your current value, the Mountain Lord will not meet with you."

"Until then, I will relay the instructions."

"You can only get help from me."

This was within Natsumi Yosuke's understanding; the other party was fully aware of his situation and naturally wouldn't take action personally, because it wasn't worth it.

However, a highly aggressive B-level ability user is also a great help to him now.

However, he still had some questions.

"If I encounter danger in a short period of time, how can I contact you? Is B-level speed sufficient?"

"Besides, if I encounter danger at the Summer Palace, how can you save me?"

Even with a B-level boost, Natsumi Yosuke found that he couldn't use it at will.

His most critical crisis was at the Summer Palace.

However, he saw a slight smile playing on the blonde girl's lips.

"Don't worry, you'll prove your worth when you complete the Lord of the Mountain's orders."

"It's not difficult to get B-rank assistance at the Summer Palace."

The blonde girl slowly removed her golden mask.

The face that Natsumi Akira recognized was revealed. Akira's eyes widened in horror, and a chill ran down his spine and into his brain.

He said in a trembling voice.

"Chikari...Shin?!!"

He knew Chigure Shin, a member of the Chigure lineage, who had reached the mid-C-rank at a young age.

Now, he has undergone a complete transformation and is now under the command of the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain. He has also concealed his true strength and reached the B-rank at the age of fifteen.

What extraordinary talent, what profound cunning!

What a terrifying lord of Xiahuo Mountain!

They actually managed to plant a pawn in the hands of the chaebol during the summer.

At the same time, Natsumi Yosuke realized whose black car it was—it was clearly Chikari Makoto.

That way, we won't need to go back to the ancestral home to conduct the investigation later.

That might displease the other party.

However, the lord of Xiahuo Mountain already had subordinates infiltrated within the Xia Ri Zaibatsu, and these subordinates were close associates of the patriarch stationed in Xia Ri Hua Hui.

It is clear that even the head of the family felt that Senju was not at fault and that his background was purely illegitimate.

So, could it be that he himself is also...?

Natsumi Akisuke pondered deeply, his mind swirling with uncertainty, considering possible candidates for the hidden identity, his eyes darting around.

He couldn't help but glance at Mikami Taku, who was also in shock beside him.

A sudden shock ran through me.

But he recalled various scenes from the past.

"Impossible. Uncle Tuo raised me since I was a child. How could I have such a thought?"

He shook his head and immediately denied it.

However, Natsumi Yosuke's body subconsciously moved half a step to the left.

This thought quietly took root deep in his mind, and a slight gap filled the space between the two of them.

……

……

Chapter 32: You're awake, the surgery was a success.

Summer day at the main residence, within the Sengoku lineage.

Mei Kuchiki slowly opened her beautiful eyes, a glint of light appearing in her dark pupils.

She looked up at the unfamiliar ceiling.

Feeling the softness under the bed.

Everything tonight felt like a dream, floating by, without any sense of reality.
