Chapter 301. Find the Traitor!

Heywait a moment

Tsunodas father said, but

Sadly, we dont have much time. If we dont get rid of the traitor as soon as possible, everyone in the hotel would be in danger now!

Michi gazes at the executives with sharp eyes.

Seki-san supplements what Michi said in panic.

The enemy has blended in with the uniformed guards of Kouzuki security service. In addition, the information here is leaked to theenemy, the checkpoints are cancelled arbitrarily, and they were easily allowed to invade the hotel premise. We can only think that theres a traitor among us executives

The executives look at each other.

The young men makes noise.

Butwe dont know any illegal or criminal organizations!

Kouzuki Souji and Subarus father shouts.

Just who the hell are attacking us right now? Kakkasaid that it was Cesario Viola but

Natsukis father asks, Seki-san answers.

The enemys boss is a criminal organization on AmericanCesario Viola. But, most of the enemy forces are thugs coming from the far east region of Russia. Its been identified that they came to Japan through Niigata port

The one who has connection with Russia and grounds of Niigata isKouzuki Noboru-sama?

Said by the father of Oohari from the prince faction.

Reallyboth the parent and child, the prince faction just keep speaking without hesitation.

On the other hand, those who just stay silent and watch over the situationis a feature of the rising faction it seems.

Speaking of whichNoboru-sama isnt here?

Tsunodas father said.

Though hes in a branch familyKouzuki Noboru is a member of the rising faction, not the prince faction.

His son, Kouzuki Kenshi has come to this place but

His father, Noboru ignored Jii-chans summon without making any contact.

Then, the traitor is Noboru-kun

Kouzuki Soujis father said displeased.

No, Noboru-sama isnt the only one who ignored the urgent summon ofKakka

Tsunoda said.

Shiba-sanhes not here as well, is he?

The most powerful among the rising groupShiba Okitachi, a capable executive whos considering to be independent from the Kouzuki group, has lost contact after informing that he had left Haneda airport on his way back from China.

After all, the most suspicious people are the ones arent here. Thats what I think!

Tsunoda strongly insists.

I

WellKakkasaid this

Saying that its fromKakkathe eyes of the executives concentrate on me.

Using russians or leaving too much evidence of entering from the Niigata portis a bit too much. It might be a trap to point at Kouzuki Noboru

I think so too. Noboru-san isnt someone who would do such a destructive thing

The one who said that is

Err, the rising factionTakagi Fuutas father?

Takagi Fuuta hasnt talked in theprivate schoolneither so I dont know the personality nor the position of his father that well.

Ratherif the traitor is in here, the executives and their children would be in danger, Jii-channo,Kakkais worried

Why is it dangerous?

Natsukis father asks me.

The other executives are dumbfounded.

Oh

These people dont have any imagination.

As I saidwhat happens if the traitor invites the enemy into this place and kill the other executives but himself? He can just manage to say that he survived with a few scratches

The traitors who survived will automatically manage the operation of Kouzuki group.

Hmmits a very interesting imagination but I dont think that theres a person here that would think that much. We may have different opinions butwe admireKakkaand love the Kouzuki group. Theres no such fool who would surrender to such desire

Kouzuki Soujis father says so but

Thats not a fact but your own imagination isnt it?

I said.

Its a logical guess. Based on my experience so far! Isnt it often said long ago that youre innocent until proven guiltyright?

Kouzuki Soujis father says confidently

Oh, they inherited the conceit and idiocy from their father.

Thats right!

Tsunodas father follows, as expected.

Shubibin!

Michis whip slaps the floor violently

Theres no time, Masterwhen it comes to this, lets just get rid of them quickly?

Wait, you, could it be?

Does everyone know that you will faint in shock if you experience severe pain?

Shubarurun!

Michi whips her ring!

No way, youwith that whip?

Natsukis father asks Michi fearfully

Yes. With this, everyone will faint in pain. That way, no matter who is the traitorthey wont be bothering to cooperate with theenemyin the future!

Shushushubaba!

The red whip slashes the air!

Ill say it just in casethose who have a weak heart may die of shock. In addition, if it hits hard, it would interfere with the flow of nerves and blood, it may leave some handicap so please understand

Michis cold eyes pierces the executives.

Hey, waityou

Everyoneif youre an executive of Kouzuki group then please prepare yourself!

Michi holds her whipapproaching the directors.

S-Seki-sanstop her

One of the executives call out to Seki-san.

Thats right, youre from Kouzuki security service arent you? You have a duty to protect us

Seki-san

Sorry to disappoint. I amKakkasfull-time guardKakkahas left all the dealing with this matter to himI cant do anything

That said, they look at me.

T-This kid

Yes. He is the one who receivedKakkasimperial order after all!

The attention gathered to me.

Hey, youstop this girl. To use a whip!

This is unbearable to do such a thing!

Thats right!

The executives all say to me.

In the first placewho are you? Whats your relationship withKakka?

Kouzuki Soujis father askthe young one, Tsunoda speaks up.

Aah, you see, this guy isMi

Shubababababa!!!

Before he would say Misuzu, the red whip hits Tsunodas feet!

Ouchhhhhhh!!!!

Tsunoda who was beaten by the whip on the tip of his footjumps up!

The skin of the solid and heavy leather shoes was torn.

Ive knocked it on a place thats protected on purpose!

Michi mutters.

B-Bitch!

You seem to have a very light mouthnext, Ill tear up your mouth!

Michi holds her red whip.

Michi, seriously?

Dammit, try it if you can! You bitch!

The angry Tsunoda tries to rush to Michi!

Everyone in the room focuses on the two peopleAt that time!!!

Haaaaa!!!

Suddenly, Michis whip flies diagonally!

Michis not looking at the whip.

Thoughthe tip of the red whip

Definitely hit Takagi Fuutas fathers arms!!!

Bishiii!!!

Uwaaaaa!!!

Takagi Fuutas father puts his hand on the inside pocket of the suit then topple over his back!

Dont move!

At the next momentReika jumpes in and thrusts the cane to Takagis father.

Take out that thing in your pocket slowly

Reika gazes harshlyTakagis father draws out his hand from the pocket.

Whats held in his hand isa mobile phone.

Hey, isnt he just trying to take out a phone?

Reika.

At the moment where the people in the room were paying attention to those children?!

Michi speaks up.

Even though all of the other peoplesQiwere focusing on me and yetyourQiis the only one heading to another thing!

Michis ability to sense humansQiis amazing

Pretending to confront Tsunoda(Child)Michis mind is always been exploring the directorsQi

Seki-san takes Takagis fathers phone

She look at the screen.

It looks like you were trying to mail without looking at the screen in your pocket. Emergency State Rescue Pleaseits not even converted to Kanji, you were just hitting Hiragana

The recipient?

Reika asks, Seki-san

It only saysMr.we would immediately know if we call it

No wayis it directly to Cesario Viola?

Either wayTakagi-san, youre the traitor

Seki-san saidTakagis father hangs his head.

No way

Takagi-san?!

No, but

If the sentence of the mail is true then theres no question

The executives turned noisy

Father

The son is also shocked dropping his shoulders behind his father.

Speaking of which

Indeed, Takagis father belongs into the rising faction but he tries to get involved in a conversation with us

Thats a strange indication.

I seeso it was him?

Jii-chan said that too.

The traitor would be in the rising faction

Of course, we wont let you faintTakagi-san will be interrogated in a separate room

Yeah

We have to ask his connection with Viola somehow.

Anyway, take her away from the other executivesKudou-san

Seki-san looks not at Michi but the mother.

W-What?

Kudou-mamas completely shocked.

Id like you to contact chief Tanizawa and tell him to prepare a room for interrogation. A floor thats not on this room. Alsoits better for the executives to move away from this room. This rooms position has already been identified by the enemy

Y-Yes

Kudou-mama hurries to the wall intercom.

Chief Tanizawa seems to be in touch with the hotels business line.

Meanwhile, Reika pulls up Takagis father.

If you run then Ill crush your limbs one by one. Okay?

Pounding the cane of death to the floorReika restrains Takagis father.

Uhmcan I go with father?

Takagi Fuuta asks Seki-san

I can no longer stay with everyone else!

If his father is the traitor then he can no longer be with the other students.

He have judged so.

Right. Youre going to come too

Seki-san answers.

Now thenfor the time being, our mission in this room is over.

Seki-san smiles at me.

Michi nods

Reika also smiles at me.

But

Somehow, I feel its lacking.

My heart is still restless.

Whats wrong?

Feeling worried from my reactionSeki-san peeks at me.

Nosomehow I feel unpleasant

Hearing my wordsMichi searched theQiinside the room again

Reika also looks at the directors faces while holding Takagis father.

Somethings not refreshing?

Looking backMargo-san and Nei-san smile at me.

Did both of them notice something?

I feel like somethings lacking

I answered.

Hmmwhats lacking?

I dont know

I answer Margo-san.

I dont know why but I feel like I havent solved anything yet. I feel like were overlooking something big

Well, it seems that your intuitions come to workYo-chans made some progress!

Nei-san smiles brightly

As expectedtheres an oversight.

What? No wayYou cant even notice something so simple?

Yukino whos at the back laughs at my troubled face.

Yeah, then tell me

When I say thatYukino

Since when did you assume that theres only one traitor?!

Ah

I see

Theres still a possibility that there are more traitors.

It cant be helped. Kouzuki-san deliberately made you believe that

Margo-san said.

Butthink again carefully. Kouzuki-san made you see a lot of things today

Yeah

Kouzuki house

Theprivate school

The inside of Shirasaka house

Using what youve gained from thosethink once again

What to think?

Margo-san smiles.

The traitors purpose

Purpose?

What is the ultimate aim of the traitor? Do you think theyre trying to kill Kouzuki-san?

Well

I dont. If the traitor is among the executives, then he knows the firmness of chief Tanizawa and the full time guardsbesides

Besides what?

Margo-san laughs happily

If the top dies right nowKouzuki groups framework would collapse

Right.

They may aim at Misuzu or Ruriko but

Theres no single attack targeting Jii-chan directly

Thenwhats the traitors aim?

That is

To kill all of the successors other than himself?

That idea comes to me.

The executives other than Jii-chan arent as protected as him.

If I can kill only the executives, then I will kill

Then, if only one survives

Hell clearly take the top spot of the Kouzuki group from Jii-chan

Jii-chan is needed to inherit the position.

In shortthe traitors target is?

The executives other than himselfJii-chans successors, Ruriko and Misuzu and their parentsand the people with Kouzuki surname in theprivate school

He should be thinking of cleaning up all of those who can possibly be at the top of Kouzuki group other than himself.

Now thenDo you think that only Takagi-san would think and act that way by himself?

Nei-sans word shocked me.

I know the cause of discomfort.

With Takagi Fuutas fatherI cant see that he has a backbone to contact Cesario Viola to take over the Kouzuki house.

Anywayhes very like a small guy.

Hes not the type that plans and act according to his willhes the type that moves by someones instructions

You seeIve noticed something, can I say it?

Yukino said.

Yeah, say what you want. Everything is welcome

I said, Yukino

You see, Ive been watching these people from far away, having a birds-eye view. These people arent the same as the group of their children

Thats right, Yukino

Shes been watching the state of people inside the room from near the door.

And yetsince earlier, that old man there and that old man over there have been exchanging eye signals occasionally Theyre making strange eye contacts. Even though theyre from different groups

Yukino points at the two people

One of them is an already discovered traitorTakagis fatherone belonging to the rising faction.

And the other one isprince factions Tsunodas father.

Tsunoda, you?!

T-This is a misunderstandingTheres no way I would oppose Kouzuki house! Right?!

Tsunodas father desperately tries to dodge the suspicion.

Tsunoda-sanlend me your phone

Seki-san said.

Ehwhy?

Ill look at the contact history and addressesI will check if Takagi-san has tried to send a mail to the sameMras Takagi-san

That is

Tsunodas frightened.

Theres one!

The same recipient

Or ratherhe knows the man namedMr.

Then this means

The lines connect inside my head.

Tsunoda is someone whos also used by people.

Theres no strong intention to become the ruler of all

The traitors bossis another one.

I see

Theres a conclusion that comes up inside my head.

Jii-chan said that didnt hepeople who try to stand on top of the organization dont dirty their own hands

Seki-san looks at my face then asks.

What do you mean?

The traitors boss doesnt need to bother coming here. Hell just let his minions do everything and stay in a safe place

Therefore

Leaving this place to Takagis father and Tsunodaand hell be absent himself

The traitors boss isKouzuki Noboru

I said.
