Chapter 893
"Alright."
The old lady tapped the table, attracting everyone's attention, and then she said: "How about this, Shin'ya even suspects us, and I feel bad just thinking about it. In that case, why don't we search all of our rooms immediately."
Having said this, she said coldly: "However, before that ring is found, don't hold this wedding, do you hear me?"
"Let's leave it at that, Lady Myo," Akaso Kaze stood up and hugged Katori Akane in front of everyone.
"I know the ins and outs of this matter very well. Since the Oga family is unwilling to marry her, let's just call it quits."
"What right do you have to manage our Oga family's affairs?" Oga Miwa asked unhappily.
Akaso Kaze's mouth curled up slightly.
"I accepted your commission to help you people. You are the ones who paid me to manage it."
"What? What do you mean by that?"
The Oga family members all looked at Akaso Kaze in surprise.
Akaso Kaze smiled slightly and said indifferently: "Let me reintroduce myself. I am Akaso Kaze, an Onmyoji from Tokyo."
"Lord, Lord Akaso!"
"You are the strongest Onmyoji in Tokyo!"
"Why didn't you say so earlier? Oh my, I'm really sorry, we were rude."
Oga Myo hurriedly pulled everyone to bow.
"No need to be polite. Although I accepted your commission fee, the situation in your family is really quite chaotic."
Akaso Kaze smacked his lips.
"Lady Myo, that ring was simply stolen by Ms. Miwa at your instruction, just to stop this wedding, right?"
In front of an Onmyoji, how would Oga Myo dare not admit it?
"Since you don't want her to marry into the Oga family, I will help you resolve this matter. I'm taking Katori Akane with me."
"Okay, okay, Lord Akaso." Oga Myo naturally had no objections.
"How can that be? I don't agree!" Oga Shin'ya said angrily, "Katori Akane is going to marry me. My family cannot make decisions for me."
Akaso Kaze's mouth curled up slightly, "Oga Shin'ya, you used helping her pay off debts to exchange for her marrying you. Is doing this right?"
"But, I am sincere about Katori Akane," Oga Shin'ya said with a flushed face.
Before Akaso Kaze could speak, Katori Akane, hiding in his arms, spoke up.
"I'm sorry, Shin'ya, I, I don't like you."
Oga Shin'ya was stunned.
He moved his lips, but couldn't say a word.
Akaso Kaze said indifferently: "Let's end this matter here. I will handle Katori Akane's affairs."
"And there's the matter of Lady Myo nearly dying recently; it happened twice in a row."
"First, the brakes failed on a rainy night, and the second time was on a sunny morning when she was walking on the nearby Dutch Slope and a stone suddenly fell from above. Fortunately, she was saved in time."
"Lady Myo commissioned me because of this, right?"
"Yes, Lord Akaso," Oga Myo said hurriedly: "Although there is no evidence, I have always felt that someone is targeting me."
"Now the Oga family relies entirely on me to maintain itself. If I die, I'm afraid the whole family will have big problems, so I asked you to come and help us."
Akaso Kaze nodded and said: "Those two times were indeed not accidental, but man-made. Takahashi Junichi, that was all done by you, right?"
"Takahashi?"
Hearing his words, everyone's eyes turned to the glass craftsman.
Takahashi Junichi's face turned pale, and he lowered his head without speaking.
Akaso Kaze smiled and said: "You also seem to have brought a bomb, intending to tie it to a hot air balloon and blow up Lady Myo when she takes off. Am I right?"
"What? A bomb?!"
Everyone was shocked.
"That's right!" Takahashi Junichi pulled out a dagger with hatred.
"Eldest Miss, you should have recognized me by now. Back then, your father was driven to suicide by this old woman! So she could never possibly let you marry into the Oga family!!"
"Ten years ago, the boss died because of this heartless old woman! Back then, Oga Bank suddenly made the boss pay off all the money he borrowed. The boss really had no choice but to commit suicide. I will never forget how miserable the boss looked at that time!"
"At that time, our boss hadn't received any big business for a while, so I went to Otaru to ask a wholesaler who had always been trading with the boss. Later, he told me that it was Oga Bank that wanted them to reduce their orders to us!"
"That's not true!"
Oga Shin'ya's father suddenly shouted to interrupt.
"My mother has always appreciated Mr. Katori's glassware. She hoped he would continue to operate, so she gave some suggestions regarding the workshop's operations. But Mr. Katori's creative temperament wouldn't listen at all, and he even told my mother that the glass he made was only sold to those who understood its true value."
Oga Shin'ya's father exhaled lightly, shook his head, and said in a deep voice:
"Later, Mr. Katori kept making glassware that took a lot of effort. The things made with such persistence were very artistically valuable, but they couldn't make ends meet, causing the workshop's finances to frequently show a deficit."
"In the end, the time for him to pay back the money kept being delayed from three days to a week, to two weeks. We are just a small bank, after all, and we couldn't keep going like that."
