Chapter 40: Just 'Goods'

Summer Flower and Summer Rin exchanged a glance.

Summer Flower then looked at Summer Sun Willow, pursed her cherry lips, and spoke first.

"Yes, Father."

Summer Rinrei remained silent.

In the Xia Rizong residence, the only person she feared was Xia Rixuanlong. After all, the twisted, savage smile and cruel methods she witnessed that night when she was a child instilled a deep sense of dread in her.

However, Natsumi Rinrei was not afraid of Natsumi Yoriyuki.

Xia Yuanliu's chest is covered in scars, which frighten others but not her. When she is assigned a mission by the Supernatural Abilities Association, she finds herself in a strange battlefield.

Although the burst of killing intent was intense, it was not something that Natsumi Rinrei could not resist.

Moreover, from childhood to adulthood.

Xia Yuanliu's presence in Xia Rilin's life was quite weak; he would only see her once every few months, and she was merely a father in name only.

Not only that, when Natsumi Rinrei learned that she was to marry the head of the Kujo family, she caused a huge scene, ran away from home, and joined the Supernatural Ability Association.

Xia Rilinliu did not stop them at all. Moreover, Xia Rilinliu always had a kind and benevolent expression, so Xia Rilinli did not find Xia Rilinliu scary at all.

Little did they know that Xia Riliu himself did not take Xia Rilinli's act of playing house seriously at all, and was indifferent to it.

For him, the marriage of the Summer Sisters to the head of the Kujo family was a foregone conclusion from the very beginning.

As long as Rinri Natsumi doesn't die, even if he's crippled or seriously injured, as long as the time comes, it's perfectly fine to give him to the Kujo Zaibatsu like merchandise.

My two daughters are just a more important resource.

When the crowd was about to leave.

Xia Yuanliu glanced at the person in charge of the Shui Sheng lineage following behind Xia Rixuanlong, a slight thought appearing in his eyes.

"Shoucheng, wait a little longer by the door."

Upon hearing this, Shui Sheng Shoucheng, who was almost at the door with an honest-looking face, glanced at Xia Rixuanlong and saw that the other party walked away without paying any attention. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He bowed to Xia Riyuanliu without hesitation.

"Yes, my lord."

Shui Sheng Shoucheng was aware of the power struggles within the Xia Ri Zaibatsu, and his clan was on Xia Ri Xianlong's side.

As the patriarch aged, the clans naturally had to make their own plans.

The Shui Sheng lineage has always had close ties with Xia Rixuanlong, as Xia Rixuanlong's mother is the daughter of the previous leader of the Shui Sheng lineage.

They naturally stood behind Xia Rixuanlong.

If Natsumi Genryu had shown even the slightest dissatisfaction, Mizuki Morishige would have been in a very difficult position.

After all, his nominal allegiance was still to the Xia family head, but in the silent process of choosing sides, he had already pledged allegiance to the second young master.

If we forcefully obey the head of the family's orders, we will offend the second young master.

Fortunately nothing happened.

Xia Rixuanlong currently has no intention of directly confronting Xia Riliu; after all, the lingering influence of the family head still remains.

Then, Mizuki Shounen stood by the door.

When only the four of them remained in the room, he closed the door and stood by the door, his black uniform impeccably tailored, waiting.

And when the room became completely silent.

Xia Riliu's deep voice then slowly drifted over.

“The Kujo family came to see me today.”

"You will be marrying Kujou Shinobu in two months."

"I didn't expect you to be sixteen so quickly. It's time for me to complete the transaction."

"The wedding is approaching, so let Shoucheng take the two of you out today."

"Choose a few suitable wedding dresses and gowns, and get married in style two months later."

Summer Day Liu was not concerned with Summer Flower Painting and Summer Rin Rei.

He was indifferent to the two sisters, busy with other things, and only then did he realize that the two sisters were almost sixteen years old.

If we compare the two sisters to gifts, then the wedding dress is like a nicer package, making it more presentable when given as a present.

To outsiders, the marriage between the Summer Zaibatsu and the Kujo Zaibatsu appears to be a perfectly normal union.

From then on, there were even fewer entities that could pose a threat to them.

To deal with one of them, you will inevitably have to face the other.

Although both families actually understood that this was merely an exchange of goods, and that the marriage alliance was essentially a paper tiger.

"I disagree!"

Just then, Natsumi Rinrei's voice rang out.

"This marriage arrangement was made without consulting either me or Hanae!"

"If you want to get married, then go ahead and get married. I'm definitely not going!"

She gritted her teeth and flatly rejected the idea.

Get stronger! Get stronger! Get stronger!

If she can reach the B-level ability user level within two months, she will still have a sliver of a chance. Once she reaches the B-level ability user level, she will rise to a high position in the Ability Association.

At that time, the president of the Superpower Association will also be an A-level. If the Superpower Association uses its power to contend with the Summer Zaibatsu, the Summer Zaibatsu will definitely have something to worry about.

Without waiting for any reply, she slammed the door and left.

Time was running out, and she had to become stronger every moment in order to save herself and her sister.

Seeing Natsumi Rinri run away, Natsumi Yoriyuki's face showed no expression.

To him, the other person was something he could retrieve at any time, as long as he found her on the wedding day.

Then, he looked at the summer flower painting.

Summer Flower Painting revealed a delicate and warm smile. She pursed her cherry lips and spoke softly.

“Father, I understand.”

"I will go out with the housekeeper to buy wedding dresses for my sister and me."

"Thank you for taking care of me for the past fifteen years, Father."

From that moment on, she felt no attachment whatsoever to the Summer Zaibatsu.

If such a colossal conglomerate were to explode in a spectacular burst like fireworks and cease to exist, it would surely be an extremely dazzling and magnificent sight.

Even Xia Yuanliu smiled upon hearing the obedient words.

After all, he could see very clearly what kind of people his three sons were; they all wished he would die on the spot so they could start vying for the position of family head.

When such comforting words come from the mouth of his own direct subordinate, his mood improves.

So he gave another instruction.

"Shoucheng, protect Huahui well."

Shui Sheng Shou Cheng's special ability is a tortoise shell, whose defensive power can protect against any attack below level A.

With a strong push, it might even be able to withstand one A-level attack.

Summer Flower Painting is completely powerless, possesses no special abilities, and has extremely poor physical fitness.

Just in case something went wrong on this trip, Xia Yuanliu specially asked the best protective supernatural ability within the Xia Zaibatsu to escort her.

Otherwise, it would be bad if these precious goods were damaged.

"Thank you, Father. I'll go buy the dress now."

Summer Flower gently opened her mouth and walked outside.

Shui Sheng Shoucheng followed closely behind.

Chapter 41: Summer Flower Painting Has Been Kidnapped

Outside the family residence on a summer day.

The simplified information was learned by the other stewards, who were then tasked with finding information about the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain.

Several senior housekeepers also left.

The ordinary steward's mission to find the lord of Xiahuo Mountain was merely a cover.

These few individuals are of paramount importance; they are tasked with finding and capturing the semi-difficult level anomaly that gave rise to the rules.

In a dark corner on a distant rooftop.
