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

"I can make the decision."

In Xiahuo Mountain, no one was more in charge than her.

Upon hearing Natsuhi Hanae's words, Natsuhi Yosuke was initially skeptical, then looked at Chikari Makoto.

Upon discovering that Chikari Makoto had not made any move, he had clearly tacitly accepted Natsuhikae's explanation.

From this perspective, although Natsume Hanae has no power, her status in Mount Natsume seems to be quite high.

Natsumi Yosuke guessed that the other party must have obtained this status as a strategist.

After all, he was quite shocked when Natsumi Hanae's identity as Natsumi Hanae was revealed at the core meeting.

It's hard to believe that Natsumi Hanae, who always presented herself as gentle and demure in the main residence and was obedient and compliant to Natsumi Niinryu without any resistance, was so submissive.

Without a word, he actually became a member of Xia Huo Shan.

It is obvious that Natsumi Hanae is not only incredibly intelligent, but also extremely shrewd, deceiving everyone in the Natsumi family, including her father.

The difficulty involved is simply unbelievable.

However, since summer flower painting can take the lead, this is not without its advantages.

Enabling Natsume to communicate with the people of Natsume Mountain inherently carries a certain risk, as the other party might do something unpredictable as a result.

Therefore, if he runs away, even if his father doesn't kill him, he will inevitably be punished.

However, the fact that summer flower paintings can now take the lead eliminates this possibility.

With that in mind, Natsumi Yosuke no longer hesitated. He didn't know how many days it would take for his father to return, so he had to make arrangements quickly.

So, he spoke.

"Cooperation is very simple."

"I will persuade Father to let both of you live."

"However, once I become the head of the Summer Zaibatsu, Xia Huoshan will need to become my strength to help me secure my position as head of the family."

Of course, the 'Xiahuo Mountain' at that time was not the complete Xiahuo Mountain.

It was Xia Huoshan after he was castrated.

Leaving aside others, leaders like the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain must be eliminated.

Of the remaining people, those who were too fierce were all killed, leaving only those who were easy to control.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking on Natsumi Yosuke's part.

However, he felt that his plan was quite feasible.

After all, no matter what.

Xia Yuanliu absolutely did not want the next head of the Xia family to be a figurehead without any real power.

After all, Natsumi Yosuke knew that with his illegitimate rise to the position of family head and his weak strength, he would find it difficult to gain the respect of the people.

Therefore, we have to resort to other means.

A father only knows more than he does.

However, Natsumi Yosuke was unaware that Natsumi Yoshiyuki had his own plan: to first provide Natsumi Yosuke with a large amount of resources to raise him to the peak of B-rank or A-rank.

Then, by sacrificing Natsumi Akisuke's lifespan, he was forcibly promoted to mid-A-rank, or even high-rank.

By then, even if Natsumi Yosuke's position as head of the family was illegitimate, and he only became the head because two excellent heirs died one after another, it would still be his turn.

However, with the strength of a mid-to-high level A.

Even if there are people in the Pulse Clan who are not convinced by Xia Riyi Jie, they will submit to such power.

Although every head of the Xia family has had strength above the peak of A-rank, even if Xia Yijie only has the strength of the mid-stage or even the high-stage.

That's enough to keep his subordinates in check and prevent the authority of the Xia Ri Zhi Mai from diminishing.

This plan, in any case, has both advantages and disadvantages for Natsumi Akisuke. Although it can enhance his strength, it will also drastically reduce his lifespan.

Therefore, Xia Yuanliu did not reveal a single piece of information to Xia Yijie.

Even though Natsumi Yosuke is now the only known heir to the Natsumi Zaibatsu, he only vaguely knows about the existence of gods.

Unlike Summer Tiger and Summer Genryu, who knew a lot of secrets back then.

Of course, while Natsumi Yosuke's mind isn't exactly brilliant, it's not stupid either.

Xia Yuanliu might agree to his plan, but that's only a possibility.

After all, the power from Xiahuo Mountain inevitably poses certain risks.

However, even if Xia Yuanliu doesn't agree.

so what?

He wouldn't agree if he didn't want to, but when he was cooperating with Xia Huoshan, he would only tell Xia Huoshan that Xia Yuanliu had agreed.

First, secure the benefits of the cooperation; at least solve your current problem of a lack of available manpower.

Keep in mind that the only person he currently has at his disposal who is at least B-rank or higher is Takumi Mikami...

The Nianma lineage, which had barely managed to climb up before, recently underwent internal changes, and even the name of the lineage was changed.

He originally wanted to continue making contact, but he discovered that apart from still having black hair and black eyes, he didn't recognize a single person in the newly formed Kuki lineage.

As for the new leader of the Kuchiki lineage, Kuchiki Mei completely ignored him, let alone continued their previous relationship.

Therefore, even for those below B-rank, aside from a few hired butlers, Natsumi Yosuke has very few usable people.

However, his status as the heir to the Xia family conglomerate signifies a leap in social standing.

Some tasks require subordinates with high-level superpowers to accomplish.

To be honest, he was happy when he first learned that Natsumi Rinrei was Natsumi's subordinate.

This means that the Shui Sheng lineage once again has no candidates to support.

however……

When he excitedly went to the Shui Sheng lineage to recommend himself, he was met with news that the Shui Sheng lineage claimed to have been loyal to Xia Yuanliu from beginning to end.

At that moment, all he wanted to say was "mmp".

He's not blind.

He knew perfectly well that the Shui Sheng lineage first supported Xia Rixianlong and then switched to Xia Rilinli.

After all, while Mikami Taku wasn't a seasoned butler, he was just one step away from it.

He still has some connections within the Summer Palace.

Therefore, Natsumi Yosuke had heard that the Mizuki lineage, like Lü Bu, kept changing masters.

However, Natsumi Akisuke doesn't seem to mind this anymore.

Once he becomes the head of the Xia family and possesses a certain level of power, the Shui Sheng lineage will naturally align themselves with him.

As for now, once the cooperation with Xia Huoshan is confirmed...

Let's try to resolve some issues using the other party's current resources first.

Natsumi Akisuke made up his mind.

Just then, Xia Rihua's cherry lips blossomed into a radiant smile, and a glint seemed to flash in her beautiful, red, glassy eyes.

The words that came out between his lips sent a chill down Natsumi Yosuke's spine.

“Brother, you prioritized Xia Huoshan, but Zhen and I have been staying at the Xia Rizong residence.”

"Could it be that they're trying to take advantage of you and then leave without paying?"

"Do you really think I wouldn't see through such an obvious scheme?"

"Are you treating me like a fool, or are you treating yourself like a fool?"

Upon hearing this, Natsumi Akane's pupils dilated and contracted.

All her elaborate plans were so easily seen through by Natsume Hanae.

It seems that it can only end in failure.

He never expected that Natsumi Hanae, whom he already thought was highly intelligent, would be this intelligent.

No wonder he was recruited by Xia Huoshan as an ordinary person.

There's no need to stay here any longer.

"I'm not really thinking," Natsumi Yosuke said absentmindedly.

"Since you figured it out, then pretend I never said anything about this collaboration."

After saying that, he lifted his leg to leave.

However, Natsumi Hanae called out to Natsumi Akisuke.

"Looks like I guessed right."

“However, elder brother, you don’t have to leave so soon. I didn’t say I wouldn’t agree.”

When Natsumi Yosuke heard Natsumi Hanae say that she guessed correctly, he almost instinctively felt a lump in his throat, not expecting that the other party had actually tricked him.
