This coaching is not right.

On the other side, after Chairman Sakayanagi's mental energy withdrew from Sakayanagi's mental sea, it did not return to his body, but went directly to the mezzanine room next to his chairman's office.

That room, located between the office and the adjacent reception room, wasn't even a dark room in the conventional sense; rather, it was a spiritual space created by one of the elders of the Sakayanagi family.

Apart from the spiritual entities of the council members, no one can perceive or enter that place.

After Akihiko Sakayanagi's spirit entered the room, the long table was almost full of people.

Except for a few people from other organizations who didn't show up, almost all the council members were present.

Or, to put it another way, apart from Tsukishiro who stubbornly insisted on attending, this meeting was basically a private gathering of the Sakayanagi family.

Sakayanagi Shigemori (the real chairman of Sakayanagi) sat calmly at the head of the table, his eyes revealing a hint of composure.

To the left is Toshiaki Sakayanagi, who is 150 years old, but his spiritual ability allows him to sit here in good spirits to attend the meeting.

Chizuko Sakayanagi on the right is also of the same generation as Toshiaki Sakayanagi, but because of her special ability, she looks much younger than Toshiaki Sakayanagi on the opposite side.

She rested her chin on her hand, her gaze shifting back and forth between the real and fake Sakayanagi Narumi, a slight smile playing on her lips.

She had the same expression when she saw Toshiaki Sakayanagi being scolded by Narumi Sakayanagi on the other side last time.

The imposter, Sakayanagi Akihiko, reverted to his true identity, grinning at Sakayanagi Narumi, attempting to provoke him: "When my niece calls me 'Dad,' her voice is so sweet it could drip honey."

He suddenly straightened his arms, leaning over Sakayanagi Chizuko's position, his fingertips almost touching Sakayanagi Narimori's tie knot. "It's a pity our Narimori is so disobedient, locked up here, he can't even hear his daughter's sweet talk."

Sakayanagi Narumi remained unmoved on the surface, but he gripped the chair armrests tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white.

Seeing Sakayanagi Narumi's reaction, a shallow dimple suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she gently kicked Narumi's calf under the table with her toe.

“Mingyan, that was a brilliant sneak attack.” She moved closer to Cheng Shou, her lips near his ear, “If I were the head of the family, I would be furious.”

However, to her disappointment, Sakayanagi Narumi did not show the angry expression she had expected. Instead, he slowly spread his hands and let them hang down by the chair.

Sakayanagi Toshiaki, standing to the side, shook his head slightly and said, "Enough! Akihiko, stop showing off. If it weren't for your special ability, you wouldn't deserve to be here."

Before Sakayanagi Chizuko could even show her smugness, he turned to look at her and said, "And you, Chizuko! You're over a hundred years old, an old guy of my generation, and you're still calling Narimori and the others your brothers. Aren't you ashamed?"

Upon hearing Sakayanagi Toshiaki's words, Akihiko Sakayanagi paused slightly, then said softly, "Uncle Toshiaki, I was just joking..."

Seeing Sakayanagi Toshiaki's serious expression, he cursed him inwardly for being pretentious, but on the surface he still obediently lowered his head slightly and stopped provoking the nominal head of the Sakayanagi family.

Sakayanagi Chizuko also slightly restrained her movements: "Alright, alright, Toshiaki, look at you. It's because you're so serious every day and have no sense of humor that you look so much older than me."

As he spoke, a phantom appeared behind Toshiaki Sakayanagi.

"The thing girls hate most is having their age mentioned, don't you know? Old! Thing!"

"If you hear this again, I'll bury you!"

The temperature around Toshiaki Sakayanagi gradually dropped, and his suit began to exude a chill.

Sakayanagi Chizuko let go of her hand with a bored expression: "Oh dear, you can't even take a joke. Old Jumei is really boring."

Yuecheng chuckled, a hint of disdain in his eyes. He shook his head slightly and said softly, "Do all the Sakayanagi family members enjoy acting in comedies?" His voice was sarcastic, and not at all quiet.

Chizuko suddenly leaned towards Tsukishiro, the hem of her trench coat brushing against the back of Akihiko's chair. Her phantom clone clapped behind Toshiaki, tiny ice crystals scattering in the air as their transparent palms struck.

“Brother Tsukishiro, what you're saying isn't quite right~” Her voice rose at the end, “Our Sakayanagi family is best at creating tragedies.”

Inside the mezzanine, the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Heh, Chizuko-neechan, are you really willing to do that?"

"Ha, I just like honest people like you, Yuecheng."

Sakayanagi Toshiaki, too lazy to deal with their farce any longer, simply looked at Sakayanagi Narimori at the head of the table and said softly, "Narimori, have you figured out Ito Sawa's true nature?"

Sakayanagi Shigemori slightly opened his eyes and looked up at the monitor projection in the center of the table: "It's a pity, Uncle Toshiaki. Since the last game, he has basically not used his mental power. I can't see anything."

Sakayanagi Toshiaki sneered: "That's for the best. I hope Narumi won't be unhappy that I've let you stay here for the time being and deliberately keep quiet about it."

Sakayanagi Shigemori lowered his head: "How could that be? Obeying the elders' orders is also part of the head of the family's duty."

The story begins after the eighth round of the "Doctor's Game".

Just as Chairman Sakayanagi was about to go to Sakayanagi's spiritual sea to communicate with him, he suddenly felt a familiar spiritual force.

This spiritual force came from the council, carrying an unquestionable command, demanding that he go to the council.

When he arrived at the room first, he found that almost all the elders of the family had arrived.

"We need you to alter the content of this assessment so that we can conduct a more in-depth analysis of Ito Sawa."

That's what they said, but Chairman Sakayanagi knew in his heart: "Their research on Itōsawa is a pretense; their real intention is to take the opportunity to study Sakayanagi."

They witnessed firsthand how Sakayanagi had been humiliated by Ito Sawa.

He knew that the council's true intention was to find Sakayanagi's weaknesses by studying Itōsawa.

Although they couldn't confirm what Sakayanagi's ability was under their protection, whether it was the insight into the world of the mind, the foresight of the spirit, or even the rumored time-space ability, it was worth breaking the rules to test it out.

Unfortunately, he did not yet have enough strength to contend with the elders of the Sakayanagi family, and a hasty refusal would only cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, he decided not to go against the council for the time being, and readily agreed: "Alright, the junior will obey the elder's orders."

On the other hand, he was also curious about Ito Sawa's abilities, especially since Arisu cared so much about Ito Sawa, which made him want to see what made Ito Sawa so special.

As for Arisu, he had confidence in her; her true character was something these old guys couldn't possibly discern just by sitting in their positions.
