Chapter 32

He was infamous for his cruelty and notorious for his ruthlessness.

He would not discuss the topic of succession with Kaguya Sigong; instead, he would break Kaguya Sigong's four limbs, sever the tendons in Kaguya Sigong's hands and feet, step on Kaguya Sigong's head, and say, "Kaguya Sigong, kneel down, and I will discuss the matter of your family's heir with you."

Having received the answer, Nagi Sanzenin glanced at Kaguya Kaguya, who was already standing there in a daze.

"Old man, do not die just like that. I have some things I wish to do now."

"Heh~ Little Nagi, the old man may not have much, but he has a long life."

"That is good."

He chuckled lightly and hung up the phone.

Kaguya Kaguya slowly recovered from her trance.

"This gap is truly obvious enough."

Thinking of how she was treated with cold indifference by the Sigong family, while Nagi Sanzenin was doted on by her own family—this was something she could never obtain.

She took a deep breath and suppressed the sourness in her heart.

"Three days... truly worthy of the Sanzenin."

She offered praise without holding back.

She had now truly come to understand just how immense the Sanzenin's power was.

Kaguya Kaguya did not doubt the Sanzenin's ability at all; in fact, she was already considering what treatment the Sigong family would face over the next three days.

Nagi Sanzenin showed not the slightest trace of pride.

"In the end, that is also the old man's ability."

"The old man always likes to do some foolish things, but his vision has always been quite good."

"This is not merely 'quite good'."

Kaguya Kaguya did not believe it was merely 'quite good'.

There are countless smart people under heaven, whether innate or acquired, yet only one Sanzenin Dai has reached the height he stands at now.

That is not a problem that can be explained by having 'quite good' vision.

"But does this count as trampling the Sigong family underfoot?"

This emotion was slightly complex.

Yet, deep in her heart, there was an inexplicable sense of secret satisfaction.

"Once the old man has finished his business and you become the heir to the Sigong family, begin your actions. This test is quite important."

"Mm, I understand."

Kaguya Kaguya also agreed with the issue Nagi Sanzenin had mentioned.

Testing that person, and testing the rules of the diaries they hold—these are indeed very important matters for them.

"Additionally, even as the heir, you cannot watch over the Sigong family's business every moment; find a few trusted individuals and entrust the work to them."

"Becoming the heir to the Sigong family is not for the purpose of playing their money-making games with them."

Kaguya Kaguya deeply agreed with this as well.

Whether the family's enterprises make money is no longer a question she needs to ponder; the only thing she needs to consider is how to strengthen herself.

Some things, as long as one is strong enough, then those attached riches are merely a byproduct.

"Hayasaka..."

"Ah, if you intend to use the connections of your maid, I think there are some things you had better make clear to your maid."

The sudden warning made Kaguya Kaguya pause slightly, and then she understood.

"Hayasaka, is it the eldest brother or the third brother?"

At this moment, Hayasaka Ai kept her head lowered; her complexion was very poor. She knew this day would come, but she did not expect it to arrive so early.

"It is Sigong Huang Guang."

"Hmph, it is the eldest brother. He has always liked to make moves on people around me since the past."

Kaguya Kaguya's face was terrifyingly gloomy.

Undoubtedly, this was a very direct betrayal against her.

She had always hated those who betrayed her the most, yet who would have thought that Hayasaka, the person she trusted the most, was someone planted by the eldest brother to be around her.

She bit her lip lightly.

If it were anyone else who betrayed her, undoubtedly she would have driven them out directly.

But the problem is that person is Hayasaka.

She grew up with her since childhood, and since the past, they were friends who had nothing they could not talk about...

Kaguya Kaguya looked at Hayasaka Ai with eyes that were slightly red.

"Hayasaka, do you have nothing you wish to say to me?"

"... I am sorry."

Hayasaka Ai knew the result after her exposure; everything she had done floated before her eyes. Her actions were undoubtedly betrayal.

Kaguya Kaguya now wanted to give Hayasaka two punches "bang bang"; was this what she wanted to hear now? Could she not say some reasons and give her a way out?

However, her anger made her brain completely calm.

Needless to say, this matter was certainly not done by Hayasaka on her own initiative, but was specially arranged by that good eldest brother of hers.

Why Hayasaka? It was probably because the Hayasaka family was a vassal of the Sigong family, so Hayasaka was easier to control.

As for why it was Hayasaka, it was probably because that good eldest brother of hers saw the relationship between Hayasaka and her growing up together.

Having clarified this point, Kaguya Kaguya, though angry, still maintained her rationality.

"Hayasaka, we will discuss your matter properly later."
