If it weren't for the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain, he would never have been able to reach Rank A. You have to understand, back then he was still one small rank away from the Rank B threshold.

He certainly wasn't willing to let go of the opportunity to be promoted again.

As long as he stays here, the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain will consider him to have contributed to capturing Xia Riyijie, but once he leaves, he will lose that credit.

Moreover, he himself had made contributions.

He was the one who stopped Natsumi Yosuke.

As for whether he felt any remorse for betraying Xia Riyuanliu.

That must be more or less...

———There is none at all.

After all, what the Shui Sheng lineage said a thousand years ago was to be loyal to the summer.

Summer floral paintings are also summer.

The Mizuki lineage has always been loyal to the Summer Zaibatsu, so where does their sense of guilt come from?

Most likely, they would seek another wise ruler.

Is it wrong to choose a more powerful head of the Summer family in order to make the Summer Zaibatsu even more powerful?

Of course, that's correct.

As for Natsumi Akisuke, after a brief period of dizziness...

Look at the subtle exchange between Chikuriya Tsukasa and Mizuki Morinari.

A look of confusion appeared in his light golden pupils.

who is he? Where is he?

If he remembered correctly, it wasn't Chikuriya Tsukasa who hit him just now, but Mizuki Morinari who used that turtle shell to deliver a heavy blow to his head!

Could it be that Mizuki Morinari also betrayed the Summer Zaibatsu?

But this isn't right.

Mizuki Morinari is currently arguing with Chikuriya Tsukasa. In his view, the two are more like they are wary of each other, so they are only arguing verbally and have not started a fight.

Furthermore, Mizuki Morinari's words implied a desire for the prosperity of the Summer Zaibatsu.

With that honest appearance, he certainly seemed to be considering the interests of the summer chaebol.

Furthermore, the Shui Sheng lineage has been assisting the Xia Ri Zaibatsu for a thousand years, and Xia Huoshan is merely a newly emerged figure, not worth the trouble of the other party changing their allegiance.

In other words, Shui Sheng has not betrayed the cause.

The blow the opponent just delivered was most likely aimed at making him dodge a strike from Chikuriya Tsukasa, by striking him downwards.

This can be seen from the mutual wariness they currently display.

Mizuki Morishige's hastily erected shield might not be able to completely withstand Chikuriya Tsukasa's attack.

However, that blow to the turtle shell was really heavy.

Natsumi Akisuke shook his head, still feeling a little dizzy.

If it weren't for the nightmarish, bizarre leather armor protecting his entire body, that slam of the turtle shell from Shui Sheng Shou Cheng might have dented his skull.

Of course, in a crisis, the other party can't be blamed.

I am already extremely lucky to have survived.

Next, let Tsukasa Chikuriya and Morinari Mizuki fight, while I seize the opportunity to escape.

We must inform my father that the betrayal by the Senju lineage could damage the foundation of the Summer Zaibatsu.

This very foundation could very well be the source of future troubles for the Xia Ri Zaibatsu when it falls out of the top tier of power.

After all, the Summer Consortium is now entirely supported by Xia Yuanliu, who is at the peak of A-level power. In reality, the combined power of its subordinates is already on the verge of becoming a very threatening force among top-tier powers.

Natsuki Akio never imagined that he would take over a dilapidated Natsuki Zaibatsu when he was in charge.

From this perspective, Natsuki Akisuke is genuinely considering the interests of the Natsuki Zaibatsu.

With difficulty, Natsumi Akira crawled forward a dozen steps before slowly standing up.

He prepared to walk towards the central area of ​​the ancestral home.

Summer Sun Willow's personal guards were there.

However, just as he took his first step, preparing to walk towards the exit...

Chikuriya Tsukasa and Mizuki Morinari both stopped talking at the same time, glancing at Natsumi Yosuke out of the corner of their eyes. Both of them were shrewd and would not be careless.

In fact, Natsumi Yosuke's every move was observed by them.

If the other party wants to leave through the door, they will inevitably have to leave.

Mizuki Morinari also noticed Natsumi Yosuke's unusual behavior. Although his own ability was extremely weak in terms of offensive power, it had now reached the A-rank level.

However, Natsumi Akisuke is merely at the C-level threshold.

Based on that blow, if it didn't crush the opponent's skull, it would at least give them a concussion, the kind that would keep them unconscious for a long time.

As a result, Natsumi Yosuke seemed to be fine, but he stood up with a slight dizziness and prepared to run away.

This suggests that the other party most likely has some defensive measures in place.

It's very likely to be nightmare-level.

Once Natsumi Yosuke steps out, even if there are people from the Mizuki and Senshu clans outside, they are helpless against the Nightmare-level leather armor.

Just as the two were about to pull Natsumi back, they immediately noticed something.

He quickly turned his gaze back to the front.

next moment.

Crisp footsteps sounded.

A gentle breeze caressed her face, and the hem of an exquisite black evening gown swayed slowly, creating ripples.

A gentle and tender female voice then followed.

"Brother, where are you going? Don't you want to stay and chat with your sister a little longer?"

Upon hearing this, Natsumi Yosuke's pupils contracted sharply, and he trembled all over.

Looking back, I saw the figure of Summer Flower Painting.

He suffered a severe injury to one of his arms. In such a short time, how could the other party have destroyed the divinity of the Summer Zaibatsu?

Is it that the divinity of the Summer Zaibatsu is too weak, or has Summer Flower's description of the divinity of the Summer Zaibatsu just deceived her?

However, from what Chikuriya Tsukasa just did when he faced divinity.

It only caused him a minor injury, but the divinity that emerged from it also stopped the opponent for quite some time.

what on earth is it.

But no matter what, I have to survive.

he shouted.

"Butler Mizuki, hold off Chikuriya Tsukasa!"

At the same time, he quickly put his mind to work.

Since he was no match for her in terms of strength, he could only rely on words to persuade Natsume to spare his life.

He organized his thoughts, and soon a general idea came to him, which he then began to say.

"Flower painting!"

“I am your elder brother. Although your father and other brothers, as well as I, have treated you poorly and regarded you as a commodity, and even called you a lowly bastard.”

"You are to be married off to the head of the Kujo family. Father doesn't even care about your reputation or the rules of the Zaibatsu. He is preparing to arrange a second marriage for you."

"But...we are your family."

"As for Xiahuo Mountain, it is just an unknown force. We have no idea what their purpose is."

"What you will suffer in the future may be even worse than what you experienced at the Summer Zaibatsu!"

"Not to mention the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain, who is cruel and cunning. Xia Rixianlong and Xia Ritaihu both died at her hands."

Do you think she'll let you off the hook since you also have the surname Xia?

“In order to eliminate the root of the problem, you and Rin will both be killed. Why not abandon the darkness and come to the light, return to the Summer Zaibatsu, and tell them the information about Summer Mountain? I beg my father to forgive your betrayal this time.”

Summer Day Yi Jie recounts.

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and the more convinced he was that what he was saying was right.

If we can persuade Natsume Hanae to turn against us, we can not only avert this crisis, but also obtain information about Natsume Mountain.

For example, the location of Xiahuo Mountain, and some information about the other party's deity. Xia Huhua has gained divinity, so the other party must know some information about the Xiahuo Mountain deity.

After hearing Natsumi Akisuke's words, Chikuriya Tsukasa and Mizuki Morinari...

Even Chikuriya Tsukasa's usually calm face showed a slight pursing of his lips.

Shui Sheng Shoucheng's honest and kind face twitched slightly, clearly showing that he was struggling to hold back his emotions.
