Chapter 163: The Approaching Doomsday

In Kirito's room, Kirito was typing rapidly on her computer, and lines of data were flashing across her screen in quick succession.

Looking at the content displayed on the screen, Kirito's brows slowly furrowed. Beside her, Asuna, who was watching the computer, had an increasingly ugly expression; she had never imagined that Sugou Nobuyuki had been doing so many self-serving things behind her father's back.

What terrified her most was that at the very beginning of SAO, he had actually intended to intercept some of the SAO players and bring them into ALO to conduct illegal and inhumane brain experiments. If it weren't for the anomaly that occurred in the SAO world, perhaps he really could have succeeded in carrying out this heinous experiment.

Moreover, Asuna discovered another very important thing: her account had been locked by Sugou Nobuyuki! This meant that if SAO had operated normally, the moment she logged out of the game, she would have been dragged into ALO. In that world, she would have been at the mercy of Sugou Nobuyuki.

"That damn bastard!" Suguha said with an angry look on her face. "Someone like that should be thrown into prison and never let out!"

"My father trusted him so much, I never thought he would be an ungrateful wretch!" Asuna said, gritting her teeth.

"If this information is made public, Sugou Nobuyuki will certainly be punished by the law, but conversely, your family's company will also be implicated and suffer unimaginable blows! After all, Sugou Nobuyuki currently holds an important position in your family's company!" Kirito said, frowning.

"Then what should we do? This guy has done so many heinous things and even has ulterior motives toward me; we absolutely cannot let him off so easily!" Asuna said, her lingering anger still burning.

"Of course we won't let him off so easily!" Kirito said with a smile. "We can send this information to your father via an anonymous email. I believe that as the helmsman of a large group, having been able to develop a massive conglomerate to its current state, your father should know best how to resolve such matters!" Kirito proposed a reasonable suggestion.

"My father?" Asuna's tone was somewhat hesitant. "My father trusts Sugou Nobuyuki quite a lot. If we send an anonymous email like this, will he believe it?"

"Don't worry, as long as we put these few matters at the very beginning, I believe it will catch your father's attention. As long as he notices these few things, if he investigates further, he will definitely be able to discover the suspicious aspects of Sugou Nobuyuki!"

"Then let's act as soon as possible; after all, the longer this kind of thing drags on, the worse it is!" Suguha said.

"Watch me!" Kirito's fingers danced rapidly across the keyboard, packing up some of the data from her computer and sending it out. As for Yuki Shozo's private email address, it was naturally provided by Asuna.

After sending the email, Kirito performed a series of operations on the computer to wipe away her traces on the network, then shut down the computer.

"Alright, what we can do for now is finished. Next, it depends on what your father does, Asuna. If he doesn't take any action, or if he doesn't believe this stuff at all, we'll go find Lingyun and the others to discuss it then!" Kirito said.

"Mm." Asuna nodded.

Yuki Shozo had been feeling quite content during this period; on one hand, his company was thriving, and he possessed a young and promising talent like Sugou Nobuyuki. More importantly, his daughter, who had been involved in a mysterious disappearance incident several years ago, had returned safe and sound! It should be said that this period was the happiest time he had experienced in years.

However, when he opened his computer, his brows immediately furrowed. On his computer, an unsigned document had appeared.

One must know that this email address of his was confidential; even among those close to him, very few people knew of it. If it really were someone close to him, they would definitely not send him an email in this manner—after all, it was still a long way from April Fools' Day!

Frowning, he quickly opened the firewall and various security software on his computer, then clicked on the email.

However, after the email was opened, the security software on his computer did not issue any warnings, which meant that there were no obvious attack programs in this email. But he still did not let his guard down; after all, sophisticated hacker attacks could always catch people off guard.

But when he saw a portion of the content in the email, his brows could not help but furrow. He had never imagined that the information in this email would be about his trusted subordinate, Sugou Nobuyuki. As the content of the email gradually revealed itself before him, Yuki Shozo's expression turned gloomy, because it was all about some unknown things regarding Sugou Nobuyuki.

At first, Yuki Shozo only thought that this was some business rival trying to interfere with him, making him suspicious of his trusted confidant. However, the beginning portion of the material caught his attention; after all, it was written in such detail, and it just so happened that quite a few things had been occurring in his company recently.

These things seemed like small matters on the surface, but if looked at in conjunction with these materials, they were likely not small matters at all, but rather major issues that could deal an unimaginable blow to his group!

When he saw the last paragraph of the material vaguely mention that Sugou Nobuyuki might make a move against his daughter, Yuki Shozo's expression turned completely dark. He had never imagined that the person he favored had been secretly doing so many underhanded things.

Yuki Shozo closed his computer and let out a long sigh. Although many things in this material appeared to be correct, one could not rule out that this was a smokescreen set by his competitors; after all, this material was just too detailed!

After contemplating for a while, Yuki Shozo took out his private phone, dialed a number, and then spoke to the person on the other end: "I have something I want you to look into!"

After putting down the phone, a flash of determination crossed Yuki Shozo's eyes: "Sugou Nobuyuki, I hope this email I received is just a smear campaign against you by my competitors. Otherwise, even if you are my trusted confidant, if you have done such things, I will have no choice but to painfully take action against you!"

Meanwhile, Sugou Nobuyuki, who was working at the group, did not know that the man he considered his future father-in-law had already received the material about him and had already begun an investigation; his doomsday was already approaching. Right now, he was looking at the program in front of him with a look of joy.

"Finally finished. With this program, I will definitely be able to complete my grand plan!" A strange smile appeared on Sugou Nobuyuki's face. "As long as I let Asuna enter this game, you will belong to me forever!"
