Chapter 578: Sigong Kyouya: Sōsaka, Sōsaka, Think of a Solution! (3/7, Request Subscription)

The Sigong family.

"Not a dream?"

Sigong Kyouya opened her eyes and looked to one side, where a small pile of gold still lay.

This was exactly what she had gained from signing in.

She reached out and touched it—the gold was cold.

She sat up abruptly, fully awake.

Gold did not surprise her; after all, born into a family whose wealth was measured in trillions, even a thousand catties of gold before her eyes would not stir her.

But the chat group connecting all worlds—that carried far more weight.

Immortality, absolute power!

Not just someone as sharp as Sigong Kyouya—even an ordinary person knew how vital these things were.

"How can I possibly sleep now?"

Sigong Kyouya sighed lightly, "But in that anime, they actually claim I like a commoner?"

"That's impossible!"

"Commoners have zero value—I could never like a commoner; that anime is definitely slandering me!"

"And what about this nonsense that I like photography?!"

As she muttered, footsteps sounded.

"Young Lady, did you have a nightmare?"

It was Sōsaka Ai's voice.

Sigong Kyouya's voice returned to its usual coldness: "Sōsaka, come in!"

Click!

The light turned on; Sōsaka Ai looked over and saw Sigong Kyouya gazing at her with a cold expression.

The Young Lady was more terrifying than usual—as if she had seen through everything.

"Sōsaka, can I trust you?" Sigong Kyouya's crimson eyes flickered with an inexplicable light as she asked.

Sōsaka Ai froze, her heart clenched, feeling her breath grow tight.

Could the Young Lady have discovered my identity as a spy?

Looking at Sigong Kyouya, she saw an expression of complete control.

"Young Lady, I..."

Sigong Kyouya got off the bed, walked over, and looked at Sōsaka Ai: "Sōsaka, past matters need not be mentioned. But from today on, you belong only to me."

"Yes." Sōsaka Ai exhaled in relief.

Why has the Young Lady become so terrifying today?

In the past, though cold, she was easy to deceive.

She did not know that today's Sigong Kyouya had finished watching the anime and now had a basic understanding of her own world.

"Come here."

Sigong Kyouya sat down in a chair and pointed to another one opposite.

Sōsaka Ai, unsure of what the Young Lady was up to, sat down with suspicion.

"Sōsaka, I've encountered something huge!"

Sigong Kyouya's tone shifted.

As Sigong Kyouya's personal attendant, Sōsaka Ai knew her mistress best.

She had never heard this tone before.

One could say Sigong Kyouya was now extremely agitated.

"Young Lady, what happened?" Sōsaka Ai's curiosity was stirred.

Sigong Kyouya: "I've encountered something that can change the world's balance of power."

Sōsaka Ai's expression froze: "Change the world's balance of power?"

Internally, she felt too drained to comment.

Change the world's balance of power!

Not even Sigong Kyouya herself, let alone the Sigong family, would dare say such a thing.

The Sigong family certainly had a lot of money.

But money meant nothing before politics.

"Yes!" Sigong Kyouya continued, "Late last night, half-asleep, I joined a chat group connecting all worlds—there are gods, demons, and countless strange people."

"I even watched a battle arena fight—the sky shattered, it terrified me."

Sōsaka Ai looked at Sigong Kyouya and ventured, "So... Young Lady, you still had a nightmare?"

"I already said it's not a dream!!" Sigong Kyouya snapped, "I'm completely awake!"

She grabbed Sōsaka Ai's hand and led her to the bed, pointing at the pile of gold.

"That's proof I joined the chat group!"

Sōsaka Ai was barely holding it together.

Gold is proof?

That proof was ridiculous!

For the Young Lady of the Sigong family, gold was far too easy to obtain.

Sigong Kyouya realized this and said, "Come here!"

Pulling her aside, he waved his hand, and at once another small pile of gold fell to the ground.

Judging by the amount, it was probably more than ten jin.

Hayasaka Ai was dumbfounded.

Ten jin of gold—Kaguya of Sigong absolutely could not have hidden it on her person in advance without her noticing.

That is to say—the matter might actually be true!

"Young Lady, does that mean the matter is true?" Hayasaka Ai's emotions surged.

If the Young Lady gained power, she would no longer have to be controlled by others.

Kaguya of Sigong nodded: "Of course it's true. Xiao Ai, this matter must be kept secret. Now, let's discuss our plans for the future."

Hayasaka Ai nodded: "Young Lady, please first tell me the situation in the group."

"Mm." Kaguya of Sigong nodded and began to recount in detail.

A moment later.

Hayasaka Ai ventured: "Since there's borrowing and lending, why don't we borrow some points?"

"Xiao Ai, you're too naive!" Kaguya of Sigong snorted lightly, looking as though she had everything well in hand. "I recall the Sigong family also has lending companies. Those companies often drive people to ruin their families and leave them with no way out. If I were to borrow, wouldn't the same happen to me?"

Hayasaka Ai was stunned.

Young Lady, the situation is different now.

Lending companies lend money to others because there's profit to be made.

Now, compared to the extraordinary beings of other worlds, what does the Sigong family have to gain?

Money?

Status?

To others, these mean nothing at all.

530　Hayasaka Ai: "But if we don't borrow, we don't have any startup capital either. Could it be that the Young Lady only wants to chat innocently in the group?"

"Of course I don't want to just chat innocently." Kaguya of Sigong clenched her fist, full of drive. "I want power—the power to master my own fate. But I just can't think of a way. Xiao Ai, hurry and think of something; you're always the one with the best ideas."

Hayasaka Ai listened, and her head began to swell.

Young Lady, the situation is different now.

In this world, as long as one puts forth the name of the Sigong family, most problems can be solved at once.

In front of the extraordinary beings of other worlds, what does the Sigong family count for!
