With such thick eyebrows and big eyes, and an honest and kind face, he would definitely be a candidate for a loyal minister.
Moreover, Shui Sheng Shoucheng is the head of the Shui Sheng lineage, and the Shui Sheng lineage was a supporter of Xia Rixuanlong back then.
However, Mizuki Shouben himself was directly under the command of Natsumi Yukimura.
After all, in terms of the structure of the Summer Zaibatsu, the person in charge of one lineage is actually on the same level as the young master.
Of course, this is only from a structural perspective.
Ultimately, strength is still the most important factor.
The person in charge of the Shui Sheng lineage, and even Xia Rixuanlong, occasionally had to listen to his opinions, while the person in charge of the Nian Ma lineage could only try to curry favor with Xia Rixuanlong, who might become the head of the family in the future.
Moreover, Mizuki Morinari and Chikuriya Tsukasa are different.
The Mizuki lineage has been intertwined with the Summer Zaibatsu for over a thousand years, so their loyalty is beyond question.
Natsumi Akisuke mobilized all his supernatural powers, transforming them into physical energy, and ran rapidly toward Mizuki Morinari.
His internal organs were injured by the punch from Chikuriya Tsukasa.
Therefore, my physical strength is not as good as before.
He was covered in a cold sweat, panting heavily, his legs were twitching, and he was running in a crooked and unsteady path.
However, his light golden pupils held an unwavering determination.
"Almost..."
"Just a little bit more..."
"...I must become the head of the family, I absolutely cannot...die here...!"
With a roar, Natsumi Yosuke squeezed out the last bit of his supernatural power and ran towards Mizuki Morinari.
His eyes were filled with hope.
Once you get there, once you reach that place.
Then you'll be safe.
Behind him came the sound of Chikuriya Tsukasa unleashing his ki ability, but that was because he had been injured and had been targeted by an unconscious divinity.
This gave him more time to escape.
Otherwise, given his speed, he wouldn't have been able to escape the rapid movement of Chikuriya Tsukasa.
Even so, he had to quicken his pace. The injuries inflicted on him by Chikuriya Tsukasa were not serious, which meant that the divine power targeting the other party was definitely not strong.
It's very likely that it won't be long before Chikuriya Tsukasa can break them up, so he has to act quickly.
Shui Sheng Shoucheng had just arrived and clearly didn't understand the current situation.
If Ichigariya Tsukasa takes advantage of Mizuki Morishige's ignorance upon entering and forcibly kills him, then everything will be over.
Although the final result will be one for one.
But he's already dead, so what's the point of trading one for one?
With great difficulty, Natsumi Akisuke finally reached Mizuki Morinari.
But, at the same time.
The sounds of Chikuriya Tsukasa and the divine battle behind him ceased, and the rapid, swift running sound was like the scythe of death sweeping past him.
The force of the opponent's punch was even felt on his back.
On the brink of life and death.
Thin wisps of black smoke rose from beneath Natsumi Akisuke's feet, followed by a final, faint explosion that shoved him violently toward Mizuki Morinari's side.
It became his ticket to survival.
He entered the protected area of Shui Sheng Shou Cheng.
A slight smile curved the corners of his dry, pale lips as he cheered for his life.
He spoke.
"Butler Mizuki, Chikuriya Tsukasa is trying to kill me! Save me!!"
The voice just fell.
Natsumi saw Mizuki Morinari's body emanate a pale blue power, which condensed in his hand to form a turtle shell with a diameter of one meter.
It was obvious that the purpose was to use this tortoise shell to block Chikuriya Tsukasa's attack.
You should know that when Shui Sheng was at the peak of B-rank, his father said that Shui Sheng's ultimate defense could withstand a normal attack from an A-rank.
Now that Shui Sheng Shoucheng has reached Rank A, no matter how terrifying the offensive power of Qi ability is, Qian Shou Gu Si is only at the critical point of Rank B.
Shui Sheng's defenses were more than enough to protect him.
Natsumi Akira's pale golden eyes widened; he wanted to take a good look at this moment.
however……
The more Natsumi Yosuke looked, the more he noticed something was off about the way Mizuki Morishige was waving the turtle shell.
Why does it look like it's coming straight for my head...?
"Bang——————!"
The next moment, Mizuki Morinari slammed the tortoise shell heavily onto Natsumi Akisuke's head.
A pleasant sound, like the striking of musical instruments, rang out.
Natsumi Akisuke, who was already struggling to stand and run, was struck by this heavy blow and immediately saw stars before collapsing to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Chikuriya Tsukasa, who was about to punch Natsumi Akisuke, immediately stopped in his tracks.
His gilded eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Shui Sheng Shoucheng with a hint of displeasure.
Without a doubt, this is a kill-stealing tactic.
The seemingly honest and kind-hearted Mizuki Morinari probably thinks that Natsuki Akisuke escaped from the second young lady's room by chance, and plans to capture him himself and hand him over to the second young lady.
In order to obtain a reward.
After all, the other party has tasted the benefits in this regard.
And he's also a professional backstabber.
Having betrayed Natsumi Genryu, he received the reward of becoming an A-rank, and now he's starting to get quite adept at betraying Natsumi Akisuke.
As for the reward, the second young lady was naturally generous.
This could potentially allow Shuisheng to further improve his level of defense.
If it weren't for the fact that Natsumi Yagyu didn't have enough sons, Chikuriya Tsukasa felt that Mizuki Morinari might have been able to reach the realm of gods by using the backstabbing technique.
The other party's appearance, combined with their ruthless methods, is indeed highly deceptive.
However, according to what the second young lady said.
This kind of escalation will have endless consequences.
The ability to enhance one's supernatural power through one's own efforts will decrease significantly, and because it is the power given by another person, one will become increasingly controlled by that person, namely the Second Miss.
In the end, if the Second Miss so desired, she could kill Shui Sheng and Shou Cheng in an instant, no matter how far apart they were.
However, Shui Sheng is nearly forty years old, and without the help of the Second Miss, it would be almost impossible for him to enter the A-level. For the Second Miss, this is probably a fortunate thing.
However, Tsukasa Chikuri is only a little over thirty years old and has reached the critical point of B-rank, so he still has the hope of entering A-rank on his own.
Moreover, it can reach even higher levels in the future.
Of course, if he can't make any progress on his own, then even if he's limited by the Second Miss, Chikuriya Tsukasa will be willing to accept it.
However, Chikuriya Tsukasa looked down on Mizuki Morishige, who joined later and whose talent was inferior to his own.
Not to mention, the other side is now suspected of stealing kills.
His golden pupils revealed a hint of threat, like a tiger baring its fangs, as he spoke.
"Shuisheng Shoucheng, you can leave now."
"Just leave the rest to me."
Seeing this, Shui Sheng smiled kindly.
"No need to trouble Steward Qianshou. This operation is a joint effort between our two clans."
"From both a moral and logical standpoint, as the person in charge of the Shui Sheng lineage, I should also be here."
Indeed, Tsukasa Chikuriya had guessed Mizuki Morinari's intentions perfectly.
Mizuki Morinari did indeed want to rely on Natsumi Ike to raise his rank again.
Having experienced the speed at which the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain could advance in rank, he was already beyond turning back.
Not to mention, after cultivating common sense on their own, the improvement in their supernatural power became negligible.
Of course, Shui Sheng Shoucheng knew this very well.
Such rapid advancement will definitely have negative consequences.
But so what?
