Chapter 305: The Weak Strike the Weaker

Upright Devil, Upright Death, Ace of Swords.

All are negative.

The vision of the revelation had already appeared in Ren Amamiya's mind: a bride spitting blood, her face utterly lifeless, collapsed in a pool of blood.

"A Wedding of Blood."

The moment Ren Amamiya saw that vision, he had already determined the tone of this wedding.

The final outcome of this wedding would be a tragedy.

Who caused such harm to the bride was obvious.

The key lay in the reason behind it.

He continued shuffling the tarot cards in his hand, then drew three new cards.

Reversed Devil, Ace of Swords, Two of Swords.

A fierce-looking man chasing a culprit caused a car accident; a woman carrying a child was caught in the crash and died because she did not receive timely aid.

"Hmm, the grudge of the previous generation has carried over to this one."

The facts were very clear: this wedding was a deliberate act of revenge.

Ren Amamiya's dormant memories were also awakened; the details of this case unfolded exactly as the divination had foretold, with no twists whatsoever.

However, the divination's result was even more realistic than the story he remembered.

After drinking the poisoned lemon juice, Momoko Satsuki was not saved; death was declared immediately.

Well, after all, it was lye. Swallowing that basically burns through the internal organs entirely; how could there be any possibility of survival?

Moreover, the nearest hospital was still some driving time away; even attempting to neutralize the caustic lye through gastric lavage was not something easily done.

Therefore, once lye was swallowed, the outcome was inevitable.

Mao Li Lan and Suzuki Sonoko, listening nearby, felt their nerves tighten.

"A Wedding of Blood? That serious?"

"Ren, is there any way to avoid it?"

Ren Amamiya actually did not wish to get involved in this question.

Of course, the main reason was not unwillingness to help, but because the victim herself had accepted her fate.

"Even if you get involved, there are some things you cannot change."

"The problem here is that the person involved knew about the poison and drank it anyway; she chose to accept her own fate."

"If you get involved, it will likely happen again afterward."

"The change now would merely delay the time until that situation occurs."

Ren Amamiya explained the specific circumstances.

This caused Mao Li Lan and Suzuki Sonoko to fall silent.

If Teacher Momoko had been murdered, they could have helped change it.

But if Teacher Momoko knew who poisoned her and was still willing to drink the poisoned item, what could be done?

"Then just send the poisoner to prison, wouldn't that work?"

Kaguya Sigong immediately gave the precise answer to solving the problem.

Since the teacher's act of drinking the poison could not be changed, then simply dealing with the person who poisoned her would suffice, wouldn't it?

"Oh right! That would solve the problem."

Suzuki Sonoko clapped her hands; this was the best solution.

Ren Amamiya said nothing, but simply watched Sonoko quietly.

"Even if the poisoner is the groom?"

"Even if... the groom!?"

Suzuki Sonoko froze; she had not expected the person preparing to kill Teacher Momoko to be the very man she had chosen to marry.

She imagined in her mind Teacher Momoko voluntarily drinking the item poisoned by that man.

Suzuki Sonoko's body trembled involuntarily.

Teacher Momoko knew that man had poisoned it and still drank it; she knew it was something she had to drink, so she chose to die in that manner herself.

"Ren, what is the reason?"

"The grudge of the previous generation."

Ren Amamiya did not hide anything; instead, he spoke out the results he had just divined.

"Momoko Satsuki's father was a police officer."

"Back then, while apprehending a wanted criminal, her father accidentally caused a car accident and happened to collide with a woman taking her child out."

"That woman had bad luck and got caught up in it."

"That child originally hoped to hold onto Momoko Satsuki's father, hoping he would send the mother to the hospital."

"But Momoko Satsuki's father at that time had eyes only for the wanted criminal and did not notice the woman caught up in his accident; thus, the tragedy was created."

"Momoko Satsuki learned of this right before her wedding; one was her future husband, the other was the father who raised her; when unable to make a decision, she chose to die in her father's place..."

The reason for this revenge was very clear.

At that moment, all the girls around understood why the groom had poisoned the bride.

Because the groom wanted the bride's father to taste the loss of a loved one that he himself had tasted back then.

Suzuki Sonoko bit down hard on her back teeth.

"That bastard, did he know who Teacher Momoko's father was, and that is why he deliberately approached Teacher Momoko?"

Ren Amamiya nodded slightly.

"Using Teacher Momoko's feelings, and also seeking revenge against her father?"

"Then whose head should Teacher Matsumoto's grudge be charged to?"

"Why doesn't he dare to strike directly at Teacher Matsumoto's father!"

Suzuki Sonoko cursed angrily.

She had always looked down on that frivolous fellow before; God only knew why Teacher Matsumoto had taken a fancy to that kind of man.
