Chapter 335. Solving puzzles (Part 2)

The other one is also finally ready

Jii-chans voice echoes through the 19th floor.

The other one?

Theres still something else?!

Tanizawalet your men down This will be an inside talk

Okay

Kuormori people, Seki-kun, Fujimiya-kun will stay

Roger. Information staff, withdraw. Wait on 13th floor. Go!

Chief Tanizawa orders, the 100 machine gun unit starts to withdraw from the door they came in.

Yasuda, Tabuchi, and Hirooka will be the center, collect the collapsed combatants. There might be some who plays dead so be careful!

Followingthe 20 top elites collect Bandinis subordinates who were taken down by Margo-san.

Gueee!!

The guys who didnt faint, took another blow to make sure theyre asleep.

As expected of the top elites, all of them have a strong bodythey grab the neck of the black combatant and drag them across the floor.

Seki-kun, Fujimiya-kunIm sorry but could you monitor Viola and Bandini? Miss Cordelia, can you ask your subordinates as well?

I dont mind

Miss Cordelia orders the two with her eyes.

Lord

Does Reika still not trust chief Tanizawa? She look at me

Lets trust him for the time being

I answered.

Weve got Kyouko-san, Michi-chan and Edie-chan are on our side too. Theyll protect you properly. Its better if Viola and Bandini are on check

Margo-san said.

Okay. Ill let everyone else guard

Seki-san answers

Take care as well. Its this guys so they might still be hiding something

Yes, Ill be careful

Well be going

Seki-san and Reika responds to me and head towards Viola and Bandini

Oh, this boy trust those girls properly it seems!

Kyouko-san said as she look at me.

From what I heard from Margos reportI wonder what kind of guy you are, but. You made Ka-chan and Nagisa-chan stable like that?

Err

Far from those twoeven Minahos changed. Shes stable now

Margo-san said.

I also love Yo-chan!

Nei-san says as she snuggle with me.

Nei, just how much do you believe this boy?

A hundred and twenty percent! Yo-chan never lies to ushes kind, and hell never betray us!

Is that so?

Kyouko-san stares at me

Hes broken in his own way

Margo-san said.

The type that thinks his life is worthless?

Thats not it!

Michi speaks

Master is a man who throws out his life without problem just for our sake. But, I will never let Master die. We will be living happily forever. INo, we will

Michi

Werefamilyafter all

Michi saidKyouko-san thinks deeply

The thing I did to theKuromorikids was justcoping therapyin the end. Its not a fundamental healingbut, if you change that way voluntarily, then thefamily therapywas a good thing then

Familytherapy

Were seriously trying to become a family however

I said with a slightly annoyed tone.

I know. If youre not serious then its meaninglessthats how it is

Kyouko-san smiles.

OhI see.

My sense of commitment

She wont be convinced unless she trusts me

Shes a core ofKuromoriafter all.

Just like how Minaho-neesan, Margo-san, and Nei-san tested me

I have to take Kyouko-sans trial as well.

I think that its impossible for you to believe me right here, right now butplease take your time to check me. Please

I said.

You look like an idiot

Kyouko-san laughs

Normally, when youre surrounded by women that pamper you so muchmen become conceited and misunderstand. You seem to be different

No. Yo-chans an idiot

Nei-san said.

Yeahhes not too smart

Even Margo-san

Or rather Hes too much of an idiot its amazing

WaitYukino makes a remark at this situation.

Masters idiocy is the cute part of him

Even Michi

Oh, I see. Thats what Margo meant when she said this boy isbroken

Kyouko-san said

His head is so Innocent

EhInnocent?

Its not a complementinnocentin English was an insulting word before

Hmm

I can clearly tell Im being made fool of.

Buttrue, he might be what the currentKuormorineed right now. Everyones at their despaireveryones desperate

Kyouko-sanyou see, I want to make Yo-chan happy! Katsun, Nagisa-san and Sensei thinks so too!

Nei-san

YeahI think that its a good thing for you to find someone you want to protect. You want to be happytherefore, its afamilyI see

Kyouko-san seems to be convinced, but

I dont get it.

Margo, what do you think?

I dont have any romantic feelings for him like Katsuko-san or Nagisa-san butI think of him as my little brother. Hes a very good kid

Margo-san

The romantic emotions are a bit different thoughKa-chan and Nagisa-chan were turned to prostitutes when they were youngI think they just want to be kind to a boy, or not only be related using sex

I seeboth of them became prostitutes without even experiencing romance

Sex always intervenes with their relations with people.

Thats why they need someone like Yo-chan. Hes not feeling conceited just because Katsun and others are loving himin contrary, he never refuses and does his best!

What about you Nei?

Whatme?

Nei-san stopped thinking.

Kyouko-san, please waitNeis situation will depend on whats after this

Margo-san said

The situation after?

How do we dispose of Cesario Viola?

I look at Viola and Bandini who are somewhat far away.

Seki-san and Reikaand the two white women are monitoring them

I see, Nei-sans a bit frolic right now

Its because Violas treatment isnt known yet.

As long as Violas aliveNei-sans heart wont find peace.

Yo-chan

Nei-san cuddles me.

I embrace her body firmly

I dont know how Kouzuki-old man and Tanizawa pops will settle this buthow about we watch for a while longer?

Kyouko-san said.

Meanwhilethe withdrawal of the machine gun troops and carrying out of the fainted subordinates is over.

The 20 top elites left as well.

The people remaining on the floor are

Us, chief Tanizawa, miss Cordelia and her two subordinates and, Cesario Viola and Lorenzaccio Bandini

It seems that were ready. Mr. Kouzuki, when in business you must face the other party properly!

Miss Cordelia shouts.

Youre correct

Then

One of the floor walls rises up.

An elevator appears from the inside

Ding, it opens.

From inside the bright elevator, what comes out is

Jii-chan and Minaho-neesan???

Now then, lets do our last business

Jii-chan said.

I cant show this deal to people other from the inside. That is why we excluded Kudou and the outside guards

Only inside?

Jii-chan looks at me.

OriginallyI was going to hide to you too. However, you broke through danger and overcame so farI can only reveal the truth to you

Then he looked up at the screen on the wall.

Misuzu, Ruriko, Yoshiko, are you watching?

The screen shows Misuzu and Ruriko.

The image is on the basementthe monitor room.

Yes, grandfather. Ruriko-san, Yoshiko-san and I are here

Misuzu answers

Who else is there?

Only Katsuko-san. Nagisa-sama, Megumi-san, Mana-san, are waiting in the next room as you said

UmuKatsuko-kun. I feel sorry to ask but please watch over my granddaughters

Certainly

Katsuko-nee answers.

Whats going to start?

You all as wellI didnt intend to show whats going to start now. However, seeing your growth nowIve confirmed that youve become adults who can endure anything

Grandfather?

Misuzu, Ruriko, Yoshiko wont be lonely anymore. You have afamilythat will accept you whatever happens

Then, Jii-chan looks at me again

Youtake care of them

I

Even if you dont tell me that, Iwe will protect Misuzu, Ruriko, and Yoshiko-san

Im counting on you

Jii-chan faces the front.

Now thenlets begin. Tanizawa, let the people in wait enter

People in wait?

Didnt they only buy time to work with the Shirasaka house?

It really took a lot of time to gather all the concerned peopleso much we had to sacrifice the hotel entirely

Chief Tanizawa takes the microphone

Bring them

The doors on the left and right walls open at the same time.

Coming inside, is an unknown old menand Jii-chans full time guard, Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san.

On right Ootoku-san + an unknown old man.

On left Choumoto-san + an unknown old man.

The two unknown old men arent wearing suits but rather casual wear.

As if they were chilling at their house and got kidnapped

Ootoku, Choumoto, well done

Jii-chan speaks to the two.

The two full time guards have different atmosphere from when I saw them in the theater.

Could this beI feel a strong aura like Kyouko-san, but.

I see, the two of them were holding back in the theater.

They must have monstrous strength in reality I guess.

The unknown old men looks frightened.

Father!

Father too!

Misuzu and Ruriko are both surprised

Then this means.

This old men are the two sons of Jii-chan?!

My sonsShigeaki and Shigefuyu

Oh rightthe two full time guards went to protect Jii-chans sons, but

Actuallythey went to take them?

Gacha.

Then, another door opened.

Another different old man comes in.

Its an intelligent looking old man wearing a suit.

Kakkawhats going on?

The intellectual old man looks at the strange state of the 19th floor, then said.

Umusorry to cause you some inconvenience. Shiba-kun

Shiba-kun?

This old man, is Jii-chans most outstanding talent among the executives, Shiba Okitachi?

Whats going to start is Kouzuki houses problem, butI want you to be an observer

Jii-chan said.

Let me tell you beforehandIve already rewritten my will before Tanizawa-kun and Kuromori Minaho-kun

What?

Minaho-neesan disappeared together with Jii-chan

To witness the rewriting of will?

Speaking of which, chief Tanizawa was missing about the same time.

FirstMisuzu and Ruriko will become my adopted daughters. Therefore, my property would be inherited by my twos daughters, and Kouzuki Shigefuyu, my biological son

What?

The other sonKouzuki Shigeaki?

Why is he ignored?

Since of legal distributionsthe wealth will be distributed into three no matter what I desire. But, I have the right to decide the breakdown of the assets to be distributed. Therefore, all of the shares of the major companies of Kouzuki group will be inherited by Misuzu. Ruriko and Shigefuyus child will inherit mostly cash and land

Does that meanMisuzu-san will be the next successor of Kouzuki family?

Shiba Okitachi asks Jii-chan.

Thats right. Thats what I have decided to eliminate the future grief

Jii-chan said clearly

Uhmwhat will happen to me?

Rurikos fatherKouzuki Shigeaki asks worriedly

Who knows, I wonder. Well have Shigeaki laterShigefuyu!

Yesfather!

Misuzus father replies in panic.

ActuallyI also want you to abandon the inheritance rights. If possible, I would like to leave it mostly to Misuzu and Ruriko. Even if you dont inherit my legacy, Misuzu is a kind girl so she wont forsake you. What do you thinkShigefuyu

Jii-chan asks for his son to abandon heritage inheritance.

Of coursethe inheritance is your right. I wont force you. If you want it then accept it

Kouzuki Shigefuyu

FatherI was born in Kouzuki house but became a national bureaucrat and didnt contribute anything to the development of the Kouzuki group. Therefore, I think that its not a good idea to give me a property of Kouzuki family

Misuzus father is like this

I will be making my future with my own savings. I wont count on fathers legacy. I also know that Misuzus a talented childif you wish for Misuzu to become the head of Kouzuki house, Id gladly support it. Above all

Kouzuki Shigefuyu smiles.

If Misuzu inherits directly from fatherthe inheritance tax will be done only once

Father, thank you

Misuzus crying.

Then, I will write that in the inheritance document in the morning. Misuzu and Rurikos procedures for adoption will be completed by tomorrow

Jii-chan said, Ruriko

Please waitwhat about father? Whats going to happen to father?

Jii-chan

A person who will die ahead of me shouldnt inherit my legacy

Die ahead?

F-FatherI!

Kouzuki Shigeaki shouts butOotoku-san holds him down

Now thenlets proceed to business

Jii-chan turns to miss Cordelia.

Heywhats going on?

Lorenzaccio Bandini speaks to miss Cordelia.

Miss Cordelia laughs.

Its been a long time ago butyour team murdered a person named Kouzuki Shigeharu in Los Angelesdo you remember?

I-I dont remember that. Theres so many people weve killed. Dont expect me to remember each of them

Its a Japanese family. You killed the fatherraped the mother and then killed her. The boys were killed after Viola raped them. The bodies were dumped in the Mojave desert

Bandini and Violas facial expression changed.

This guys were the ones who killed Jii-chans eldest son!

Bitch! You sold us out!

Lorenzaccio Bandinis angry butMiss Cordleias subordinate held him down.

My, you dont get what situation your in yet Thecouncilhas already decided to dispose of you. Isnt it better to make money if youre going to be disposed of anyway, right?

You, no way!

Miss Cordelia laughs.

Yes. We have a contract with Mr. Kouzuki from the start. It was our job to bring you here

Thats why I gave you fake informationthe hotels security is easy, or that theres an escape route on the 19th floor!

Finally understood?

Bandinis main troops didnt head downstairs but head straight to the 19th floor

Is that why miss Cordelia sent false information?

Instead of bringing you here, the subject of the deal was to bring the people of Kuromori in here, butnow that I knew what Kyoukos true feelings are, I dont care about Kuromori anymore. The kill request from Shirasaka house will take double the price for breach of contractIm satisfied

Choumoto

Choumoto-san heads to the door where Misuzus father went out.

Then, he brings two heavy attach case coming back.

Then, he goes to miss Cordelia

The payments are in gold barsisnt it?

Jii-chan said, then Choumoto-san opens the first case.

Theres shining lumps of gold contained inside.

I think that the amount is way more than the contract, but

Miss Cordelia says while checking the gold bars.

This is a bonus wage. Dont mind it

If thats the case then I will accept it. I wont issue a receipt butyou dont mind it do you?

I dont want to receive an evidence from a criminal organization

Jii-chan answers.

ThenI will hand over Lorenzaccio Bandini and Cesario Viola, and their team to you

This is a trade.

By the waythough Ive already secured the principal offender who killed my son, would you tell me who sent out the kill request?

Jii-chan asks miss Cordelia

Unfortunatelywere a criminal organization. Though we sell each other, we never reveal the clients information

Jii-chan

Then, a different methodI will be asking for a kill job

Jii-chans eyes instruct Choumoto-san.

Choumoto-san opens another attach case.

Inside is

As expected, gold bars are packed inside.

I dont know who that is but there seems to be people who have paid a criminal organization to kill my sons family. I dont know who that person is. Im sorry but I want you to use your information network to the fullest, find himand kill him

Kouzuki Shigeaki shouts from behind!

F-Fatheeeeer!!!!

Ootoku-san holds down Kouzuki Shigeaki with all his strength.

Are you serious with this request?

Miss Cordelia looks at Jii-chans eyes

As the head of Kouzuki houseits something I cant overlook. I

Jii-chan closes his eyes

Before I am a fatherIm the head of a big organizatoin!

Understood

Please let him die without suffering

Miss Cordelia slowly heads to Kouzuki Shigeaki

Father! Father! Fahteeer!! Please wait, please listen to me!

Kouzuki Shigeaki is frightened as the footsteps of miss Cordelia comes closer

When Shigeharu dies, Kouzuki houses successor would be the second son, you. Normally, that is. I knew that from the start!

Jii-chan.

Therefore I wasnt able to retire all this timeI didnt reveal my successor. I set Ruriko and Misuzu aside so you cant make a move on them. I removed you from the mainstream of the Kouzuki groupso you cant engage with the key executives

Father, thats not it. Please wait!

The Kouzuki security service was also a countermeasure when you contracted with a criminal organization to request a murder

I, I

What you can only do was to wait for my death. Ive always thought so. But, you!

Jii-chan looks down at his son with bright red eyes.

You didnt stop planning behind the scenes!

Kouzuki Shigeaki opens his mouth in surprise.

What you fear isme leaving the management of the Kouzuki group to Shiba-kun. As long as the talented Shiba-kun becomes the key to management, even if I die and you become the owner of Kouzuki family, you wont be able to rule over the entire Kouzuki group. Shiba-kun wont allow you whos not talented to participate in management!

Shiba Okitachi looks at Jii-chan breathless.

Therefore you tricked Kouzuki Noboru, used Tsunoda and others to chase out Shiba-kun

ThentheMrin Tsunoda and others phones is

Jii-chans second son, Kouzuki Shigeaki?

Sending a spy on the security officers of Kouzuki security serviceit was you who tried to attack Shiba-kun at the airport tonight!

Shiba Okitachi didnt arrive to this hotel because of Kouzuki Shigeakis orders?!

I came to help Shiba-sama

Ootoku-san said.

Jii-chans full time guard whos been absent all this time helped out Shiba-sanand hid him

On top of that, it was to bring Jii-chans two sons to this place

Fatherfather, Im sorry!

Kouzuki Shigeaki shouts!

II was absolutely superior than my elder brother! Its wrong for the first son to inherit the while house just because he was born earlier!!

He whos being hunted stops at nothing.

Why, were brothers and yetI have to lower my head to my elder brother! Its strange! Thats why I turned it all over! If my elder brother isnt here then I would be the successor of Kouzuki house! If not, its strange! Isnt that the rule?! And yet!!!

Kouzuki Shigeaki looks up at her father with eyes of hatred!

Father keeps ignoring me!! Making fool of me! Dammit! Hurry up and die, die right now, I thought of that everyday! Yousomeone like youuuu!!

Miss Cordelia stands in front of Kouzuki Shigeaki.

Youre noisy

Shuba!!!

Miss Cordelias roundhouse kicktwists Kouzuki Shigeakis head!!!

It was turned to an impossible direction

Then it shook gently
