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

Shui Shenglin knew the importance and urgency of the matter, so he immediately walked towards the door.

Not long after, he led Natsumi Yosuke and Mikami Taku in.

Upon entering, Natsumi Yosuke bowed slightly to Chikuriya Tsukasa and Mizuki Morinari and began to speak.

"Thank you, Stewards Chikyu and Mizuki."

Saw this scene.

Summer flowers painted her bright red glass-like eyes with a strange light, and her cherry lips were lightly outlined.

It seems that my elder brother has not remained unchanged; he seems to have been smoothed out by life and become much more worldly.

Then, Natsumi Yosuke glanced at Natsumi Hanae, but immediately looked at the person he considered more important...

——On Chikari Makoto.

His pale gold pupils were dark and uncertain, and his eyes were filled with contemplation as he spoke.

"Butler Chikari, Butler Mizuki."

"Before my father left, he entrusted me with a task: to interrogate these two traitors from Xiahuo Mountain."

"This is top secret, could you please step aside?"

This is a lie.

This was Natsumi Ikesuke's excuse; he wanted to have a chance to be alone with the people of Natsumi Mountain, but without a legitimate reason, he couldn't possibly get rid of these two clan leaders.

We can only rely on the power of Xia Yuanliu.

Fortunately, now that Xia Yuanliu has left, it is impossible to verify the information. Although he has not been recognized by Xia Yuanliu, he has been implicitly recognized as the successor.

Therefore, what he said has some effect.

However, precisely because he was not publicly acknowledged by Xia Riyuanliu as the heir to the Xia Riyuanliu conglomerate, he could not directly use his status as the heir to get the head of the family to push him away. Instead, he could only rely on Xia Riyuanliu's power.

If it were Natsumi Genryu and Natsumi Yasutora from back then, there would be no need for Natsumi Yoru's imposing presence.

Upon hearing Natsumi Yosuke's words, Chikuriya Tsukasa, Mizuki Morinari, and Mizuki Rin exchanged glances and nodded.

"it is good."

They naturally didn't need to ask Natsumi Hanae for her opinion on Natsumi Yosuke's question.

If they didn't even have this basic ability to make their own judgments, they wouldn't have been able to reach such a position.

They knew perfectly well that the Second Miss was not some ordinary person who had joined Xiahuo Mountain and gained a trace of divinity from the gods of Xiahuo Mountain, as Xia Yuanliu had imagined.

The Second Miss is the master of Xiahuo Mountain, and even more so, the deity of Xiahuo Mountain herself.

Putting the second young lady and Natsumi Yosuke in the same room is dangerous not for the second young lady, but for Natsumi Yosuke.

As the three of them stepped outside the door.

Mikami Takuya followed closely behind, stepping out of the door and standing outside to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

So, only three people remained in the room.

Even knowing that the other party was two members of Xiahuoshan, Xia Riyijie was not flustered at all. He would soon be promoted to B-rank at the age of less than twenty.

It is truly the heavens…

—After his pale golden eyes fixed on Chikari Makoto, Natsumi Yosuke stopped thinking.

At the age of fifteen, he had reached level A, making him seem like a genius in comparison.

However, the other party is currently imprisoned by her father's murderous intent and cannot cause her any harm. Furthermore, Natsume Hanae has lost her divinity and is now just an ordinary person.

As someone at the critical point of C-level, he naturally had nothing to worry about.

Moreover, with Uncle Weitaku guarding the door, if a problem were to occur, the Mizuki and Senju clans, who live not far from the door, would arrive instantly.

That's why he had the courage to come here.

Natsumi Akisuke, who was initially somewhat respectful to Chikuriya Tsukasa and Mizuki Morinari, gradually became arrogant when facing Natsumi Hanae and Chikuriya Tsukasa.

She has become the Natsumi Akisuke that Natsumi Hanae previously remembered.

It seems the other party hasn't changed much; they just hid it earlier.

Concealment happens to be one of Summer's Straight Meridians' talents.

However, Natsumi Akisuke's version was still somewhat rough.

Ignoring the summer flower paintings, I face Sengarama.

After all, in Natsumi Yosuke's eyes, although Natsumi Hanae and Sengoku Makoto were both from Natsumi Mountain, Sengoku Makoto, who had followed the Lord of Natsumi Mountain, was ranked higher up in Natsumi Mountain.

He spoke.

“I never expected that we would meet as your prisoner, Chikari Makoto.”

"Oh no……"

"I should call you — Bird Master."

Chikuri Shin: "..."

She wanted to reply, but with her mouth sealed, she couldn't say anything. So she looked at Natsumi Hanae.

Seeing this, Natsumi Hanae pursed her cherry lips, forming a faint smile, and said softly.

"The bird master has now entrusted everything to me."

"Brother, you used Father's name to separate Stewards Senju and Mizuki. You couldn't have just done it to say hello to us, could you?"

Upon hearing this, Natsumi Yosuke was startled.

His light golden pupils widened slightly.

Unexpectedly, Natsumi Hanae guessed correctly that he was using his father's name.

As expected, although Natsumi Hanae did not have any special abilities, her intelligence and her status as a member of the Natsumi Straight Lineage were what attracted Natsumi to her.

However, since the other party is now just a prisoner, there is nothing to be wary of.

However, as Summer Flower Painting said.

He came here with a specific purpose in mind, and it certainly wasn't for meaningless small talk.

Facing the summer flowers, Natsumi Yosuke's lips curled into a smile, appearing quite confident and feeling that everything was under control. He then spoke.

"You're right."

"Since you guessed it, I'll get straight to the point."

"I think we should use your lives as a bargaining chip to start a new collaboration with Xia Huoshan."

"You shouldn't have any reason to refuse, right?"

Admittedly, he is almost certain to take the position of head of the Xia family.

But when he finally takes the position of family head, no other clan in the current lineage takes him seriously. Will his position as family head truly be a position he deserves?

Therefore, he needs new power.

Now is the opportunity.

……

……

Chapter 232: Summer Flower Painting is a real headache

Without the suppression of his two elder brothers, and with the position of family head almost certain to be secured, he was ready to take the reins.

Natsumi Akisuke's demeanor underwent a transformation, becoming more confident and arrogant.

But in Natsumi Hanae's eyes, he seemed like a ridiculous clown, and his confidence and arrogance were more like an imitation.

It seems to be the pressure that Natsumi Yasutora and Natsumi Genryu faced back then.

The current Natsumi Akisuke has blended a bit of the two people's qualities together, resulting in this appearance.

However, as a spectator...

I do think the clown's performance has some merit.

Summer Flower Painting was quite interested. She pursed her cherry lips and said softly.

"So, what are the details of the cooperation?"

"If it's suitable, I wouldn't rule out considering it."

Upon hearing this, Natsumi Yosuke frowned. He glanced at Chikari Makoto, who showed no reaction, and then at the composed man who did not look like a prisoner at all.

However, it is a summer flower painting by an ordinary person.

He asked with a hint of doubt.

"Can you make the decision?"

"Or I could give you a communication opportunity to let the others on Xiahuo Mountain..."

However, before Natsumi Yosuke could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Natsumi Hanae, whose gentle and soft voice was quite certain.
