Therefore, they are a good candidate to make an example of someone, and you won't feel bad about killing them. In another year or two, the other party will probably fall to B-level.

Xia Yuanliu calmly withdrew his hand, his murderous aura subsided, and slowly spoke.

"No one objects to this decision, right?"

He surveyed the area like a lion patrolling its territory, and when he saw that no one was protesting, he nodded slightly.

However, at this moment.

A gentle and soothing female voice suddenly rang out.

"I object."

……

……

Chapter 229: Summer's Many Internal Traitors in the Financial Conglomerate

Because of its identity as Natsuhi Hanae, or Natsuhi Naomasa, it is located near Natsuhi Niyū.

Summer sun rose and willows set their sights on the distance.

But then they heard a voice nearby, and it was a very familiar voice.

A hint of shock appeared on his previously calm expression, and his half-closed, light golden pupils widened slightly.

Until his gaze shifted from the center to the left, his eyes reflected that exquisite and beautiful figure.

He said in astonishment.

"what?"

Even if she heard Natsumi Hanae's voice with her own ears, even if she knew that her five senses, being an A-level, would never be wrong.

However, that was Natsumi Hanae, who was always submissive and never objected to anything, even the smallest thing.

Not to mention, what Xia Yuanliu is talking about now is a big deal, and it could easily anger him.

After all, the last B-rank who angered him is now lying on the ground.

However, that is the situation.

Even the other housekeepers didn't object, but it was the gentle Xia Rihua who objected.

Xia Yuanliu could hardly believe it.

Seeing this, facing the gaze of Natsumi Yoriyuki, Natsumi Hanae pursed her cherry lips, her expression unchanged, and continued speaking.

“I said, I object, Father.”

Her expression remained unchanged, still gentle and graceful like a Yamato Nadeshiko, with a faint smile on her cherry lips.

However, even a B-level ability user would be terrified by Natsumi Yoriyuki's gaze, but Natsumi Hanae, an 'ordinary person,' remained completely unfazed.

This in itself is extremely abnormal.

Looking at the summer flowers now, Xia Yuanliu felt completely unfamiliar with them.

However, he still couldn't be sure that these words would come from Natsumi Hanae's mouth; it was more likely that they would come from Natsumi Rinrei.

He confirmed it repeatedly.

"What did you say?"

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Say it again.

A murderous intent surged within Xia Riliu's pale golden pupils, pressing down on Xia Rihua.

However, what he saw next was not the submission of Natsumi Hanae, an ordinary person, but a series of cold words uttered from her cherry lips.

"Is it because you're getting old that your hearing is failing?"

"Old thing."

Summer Flower's lips curved into a sweet smile, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents, creating a striking contrast with the words and tone she uttered.

Upon hearing this, the entire meeting room fell silent instantly.

Each of the butlers dared not even breathe, staring in awe at the second young lady, whom they remembered as gentle and beautiful.

At the same time, he looked at Xia Yuanliu's face, whose eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

But then, Xia Yuanliu calmed down after a moment of reflection.

He stared straight at Summer Flower Painting.

"interesting."

"Although I have never paid much attention to you, I can tell from some gossip that you are quite intelligent."

"However, that's understandable, after all, you inherited the bloodline of summer."

"It seems you've analyzed from various intelligence reports that I dare not do anything to you right now, which is why you said those words."

Summer flowers possess a certain wisdom, and summer willows certainly know it.

Knowing the specifics of the Summer Zaibatsu, he wisely protected himself, accepted his fate, and made no mistakes whatsoever.

He even had a good reputation among the stewards and servants.

Without wisdom, this is naturally impossible.

The fact that the other party dared to say that clearly shows they thought they had their weakness in mind.

As for his own weaknesses, Xia Yuanliu was naturally well aware of them.

The second thing I mentioned is because the main subject is Natsume Hanae herself; it's a plan centered around Natsume Hanae.

So, Summer Flower Painting has no other bargaining chips in the Summer Zaibatsu.

But in this particular matter, he used his only bargaining chip: himself.

However, this bargaining chip could actually have been used by Natsumi Hanae when she was involved in the marriage alliance with the Kujo Zaibatsu, but the other party did not take it.

It was clearly that clever person who thought the time wasn't right.

After all, the Kujo Zaibatsu is a top-tier Zaibatsu, and his current status as a live-in son-in-law is different from what he used to be.

Moreover, during this period, Natsume Hanae cultivated her reputation within the Natsume Zaibatsu very well, probably thinking that a butler or servant would stand up for her and speak the truth.

Because this husband who married into the family did not conform to the rules.

Not only that.

More importantly, Natsumi Rinrei, in his identity as Natsumi no Ueyama, may have known about the existence of the gods, and thus revealed some of the secrets of the Natsumi Zaibatsu in Natsumi Hanae.

At the Natsume family mansion, Natsume Nichiryu dared not kill Natsume Naomasa!!

This is probably the biggest advantage of summer flower painting.

Otherwise, all the careful planning would be for naught if it were killed instantly like that mad bone bull and horse.

It is the combination of these many reasons that led to an ordinary person named Natsumi Hanae daring to challenge the authority of the Natsumi family head at this moment.

Unfortunately...

Even though Summer Flower Painting has many plans, she has forgotten one thing.

In this world filled with gods, superhumans, and the bizarre…

——————Strength is paramount!

As an ordinary person, he possessed almost supernatural wisdom, but in the face of absolute power and authority, he was as laughable as a clever and cunning mouse.

It can be easily crushed with just one step.

Especially in this summer family home where he was the head.

He didn't need to exert any effort himself; many people were willing to flatter him and help him crush the rat.

For example, many of the butlers present would probably agree if he just said so.

However, Natsumi Hanae is somewhat useful now. After she helps Natsumi produce a few offspring, she can send the other party to their death.

As for now.

Having done something that challenged his authority, it was impossible for him to remain silent.

Let's just cripple one of their hands.

Anyway, it's just a hand, it won't affect fertility.

Thinking of this, a hint of indifference appeared in Xia Yuanliu's eyes, and he slowly spoke.

"Guards, sever one of Summer Flower's hands as punishment."

The moment she finished speaking, Xia Riyuanliu waited for any of the butlers to come out.

However, after a moment.

All sounds are silent.

Not a single butler came out.
