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

Upon seeing this, Xia Riyuan frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure appearing in her eyes.

True.

It's just cutting off an ordinary person's hand; there's no need for veteran butlers to intervene.

As for Natsumi Yosuke, that's impossible. Theoretically speaking, he is now the sole heir of the Natsumi Zaibatsu, and his status and position are much higher than those of a veteran butler.

And a new, experienced butler probably shouldn't overstep his bounds in such a situation.

However, aside from these two types, there are many more experienced butlers in between.

They are the most suitable targets, but why not take action?

Could it be that they disagree with his plan and feel that marrying Natsume Hanae a second time would be a disgrace to the Natsume Zaibatsu?

Or perhaps the good reputation that summer flower paintings have accumulated over the years has indeed played a role?

He couldn't very well kill all of these experienced butlers, as that would severely weaken the core strength of the Summer Zaibatsu, which would undoubtedly be adding insult to injury for the current Summer Zaibatsu.

We can only punish them privately when the time comes.

Let them know whether the authority of the current head of the family is more important or the so-called rigid rules are more important.

Moreover, do they really think it's ridiculous to use this method to cancel their decision?

This was a plan he devised to ensure the continuation of the Summer Lineage.

Xia Yuanliu looked at Shui Shenglin and spoke by name.

"Water-born scales, you will carry out the orders."

Shui Shenglin was his close attendant, and it was most appropriate for him to take the lead when no one else was doing it.

Upon hearing this, Shui Shenglin's blue eyes flickered darkly.

He clenched his right fist.

I'm trying to figure out what Summer Flower Painting is thinking right now.

In such a public setting, he could offend Xia Yuanliu's dignity, and if he were to step forward to do so, given the strength of the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain, he would certainly not be able to cut off the other party's hand.

However, what the lord of Xiahuo Mountain needs is precisely his own attitude.

Even if it can't be cut, if I really obey Xia Yuanliu's orders and harm the lord of Xiahuo Mountain...

When the time comes, what awaits them will probably not be a good ending either.

Moreover, now is the time for him to pledge his allegiance completely. As long as he sides with the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain, he will be completely incorporated into Xiahuo Mountain in the future.

All he had to do was take a gamble, betting on the current attitude of the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain.

So the aquatic scale remained motionless, sitting in place like a statue.

The fact that Shui Shenglin remained motionless caused Xia Riyuanliu to frown even more, and he spoke again.

"Water breeds scales, so ignore those so-called rules and obey my commands..."

Before he could finish speaking, a gentle voice rang out, interrupting Xia Yuanliu.

"Father."

A playful look appeared in Xia Rihua's bright red, glass-like eyes.

She parted her teeth slightly, a smile playing on her lips, and spoke softly.

"Is it possible that the aquatic butler doesn't want to manage those rules, but simply doesn't want to obey your orders?"

Summer Flower took a sip of the tea that everyone present had, with a composed expression.

He spoke to the aquatic scales not far away beside him.

"Lin, my tea is a little low, please pour me some more."

"Yes, second lady."

Without any hesitation, Shui Shenglin, having done his ideological work, took the teapot from the long table of the conference and walked towards Xia Rihua to pour tea.

Saw this scene.

Xia Yuanliu's expression shifted unpredictably as he finally realized that the situation was completely out of his control.

Right under his nose, a seasoned butler betrayed him?!

His pale gold pupils blazed with murderous intent as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Summer floral painting, what did you do?"

Xia Yuanliu did not question Shui Shenglin, for he knew that the root of the problem lay with Xia Rihua.

The other party likely has some leverage over her, which is why Shui Shenglin is on her side.

But that doesn't matter.

Now he must reclaim some of his authority. Since no one has made a move, even if he himself suffers some damage due to Susanoo's unconscious divinity, he must sever one of Natsume's hands.

"Whatever you did."

"You will pay the price for this."

call out------------!

A brief sound of something cutting through the air rang out as Xia Yuanliu used the same trick again.

A silver needle emerged from the flesh and bone of his hand, piercing straight towards Xia Rihua's right hand, wreathed in bloody killing intent.

As long as it hits the right spot.

If Natsume Hanae, who is an ordinary person, were to completely lose all sensation in her right hand.

Moreover, even if Shui Shenglin tried his best to resist, with the opponent's B-rank speed, he simply couldn't withstand his extremely fast attack.

In a flash of crimson light, it was about to pierce Natsumi Hanae's right hand.

However, at this moment.

A pale golden aura surged and boiled, revealing its A-level aura with a shimmering arc of light.

With lightning speed, it was as swift and powerful as golden thunder.

Arrive in front of the summer flower painting.

With his right hand encased in a gauntlet, Qian Shouzhen slammed down with a powerful punch, shattering the silver needle and leaving a perfectly controlled fist imprint on the long table.

She whispered through her pink lips.

"Thousand Feather Style... Lightning Strike".

At the same time, Natsumi Akisuke, standing to one side, spotted Chikari Makoto's incredibly familiar pale golden aura.

His eyes held a dark and uncertain expression, filled with a myriad of thoughts.

But in the end, he said nothing.

Natsumi Yoriyuki saw that Chikari had blocked his attack in order to save Natsumi Hanae.

His light golden pupils narrowed slightly.

"did not expect."

"Chikari Makoto, you are only fifteen years old, yet you have reached the A-level.

"Moreover, this speed is among the best in the A-level. Why would you choose to block me for the sake of years of master-servant relationship, instead of pursuing a promising future?"

"Don't you know that the Summer Zaibatsu existed first, before you gained your current status?"

"Instead of being the maid of a mere ordinary second young lady."

After speaking, Xia Yuanliu felt a deep and utter killing intent towards Qianshouzhen.

He still had reservations about the situation with aquatic scales.

We need to investigate thoroughly before making a decision. Besides, the other party is already around forty years old and is only at the high level of B-rank, which is the limit of their level. They won't cause too much of a stir.

However, Sengoku is different.

To reach the A-level at such a young age.

Cut off! No! Absolutely not! Keep it!

In the future, it is highly likely that it will reach the high-level of A-grade or even the peak of A-grade.

The current actions, which are meaningless and have started to create enmity, mean that they will become a major disaster in the future.

Moreover, Xia Yuanliu allows A-level beings to exist within the clan, but high-level A-level and peak A-level beings are not permitted.

So, let's just kill Chikari here.

It would be quite good to regain one's authority by sacrificing the opponent's A-level life.

He also wanted to show others that his fighting strength was still enough to support the entire Xia family.

The next moment, Xia Yuanliu's right arm instantly transformed into a sword radiating chilling energy, its killing intent surging and overwhelming.

Suddenly, he slashed at Chisato!
