Chapter 425: The Good Days of the Kaguya Clan Are Over

At three in the afternoon, the cruise ship docked at Tokyo's port, and the police had already received the news, immediately bringing a team to make arrests.

Several bodyguards escorted Ichiro Kaguya, whose hands were bandaged, off the cruise ship; this was the first time today that Kaguya Mariko and Kaguya Hachiro had seen their son.

His face was haggard, his expression listless, his eye sockets sunken, and even his bandaged hands showed a large pool of fresh, seeping blood.

This pitiful sight made Kaguya Mariko burst into tears.

"Ichiro... my Ichiro..."

She could hardly imagine what treatment her son had endured before being taken into custody yesterday, yet she could not utter a single word.

Because she knew this was what her son deserved; if he hadn't taken a knife to see the old man, he wouldn't have been treated this way.

"Death-seeking fool."

Kaguya Kozo watched coldly and couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

He was completely disappointed in these people; now that they were off the ship, he would begin his actions tomorrow.

Kaguya Kozo's eyes swept over Taira Masahiko, who stood at the very back with a look of disappointment; unfortunately, the original plan involving 15 was no longer needed.

Of course, Kaguya Kozo felt no regret about this, because he had just realized that his granddaughter seemed to have developed a deeper connection with that Young Lady's group.

Taira Masahiko's ability to act and his work performance were quite strong; giving him up directly was a pity, but this was also a choice made by his granddaughter himself, so let it be abandoned.

Compared to Taira Masahiko, it was crucial that his granddaughter could participate in that Young Lady's group.

This benefit was far more useful than having Taira Masahiko's assistance.

This expanded network of connections could provide Natsue with greater help, something Taira Masahiko could not compare to at all.

So, useless chess pieces should simply be discarded completely.

There would be no opportunity to meet again in the future.

At this moment, the entrance where the cruise ship disembarked was already surrounded by Jugo Tsukumo and his men.

The charge of attempted intentional homicide was no small matter; with solid evidence confirming the perpetrator, there was no need to waste much time, as bringing back the person and the evidence would be enough to close the case directly.

The bodyguards escorting Kaguya Ichiro handed him over, then produced a blood-stained kitchen knife handle inside a plastic evidence bag, along with a disk recording the video.

"This is the weapon used by the perpetrator; the other disk records the entire process of the crime."

Jugo Tsukumo glanced at the weapon and the disk; these items needed to be taken back for further investigation.

"Officer Sato, put these away."

"Yes."

Sato Miwako came forward to take the items; the weapon and the crime process were very clear, so the perpetrator's guilt was firmly established, and no one could easily shake it.

Her eyes swept over the perpetrator's hands; large patches of blood were seeping through the bandages, indicating he had been taught a lesson.

The bodyguards also noticed Officer Sato Miwako's gaze; to avoid causing trouble for the Young Lady and Miss Kaguya, they needed to explain.

"The wounds on his hands were inflicted by the perpetrator's target, Sun Nu."

"Officer, please note that this was a correct act of resistance taken to stop the perpetrator's crime."

"The disk also clearly records how the wounds on the perpetrator's hands were caused."

Jugo Tsukumo nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your hard work; we need to conduct a more detailed confirmation regarding the specifics of the case."

The bodyguards were very familiar with the police procedures.

"Miss Kaguya has stated she will fully cooperate with the police investigation. The cruise ship will not leave the port in the near future; the police may enter it to conduct investigations."

"The crew of the cruise ship knows the situation at the crime scene, but Miss Kaguya may not have time to undergo investigation, as school starts tomorrow."

Jugo Tsukumo breathed a slight sigh of relief; he hadn't expected this Miss Kaguya to be so reasonable, and as for not being able to cooperate with the investigation, it didn't matter, since this was merely attempted murder, not an actual homicide.

Furthermore, the perpetrator had no connection to Miss Kaguya this time, so it was acceptable for her not to cooperate with the investigation.

"That is only natural."

The bodyguard, having received the assurance, nodded slightly; at this moment, people from the cruise ship were already coming down one after another.

Leading them were naturally the members of the Kaguya clan.

"Mr. Kaguya Kozo, as the target of the perpetrator, we hope you will return to the Metropolitan Police Department for investigation and confirmation."

"Thank you for your trouble, Officer."

Kaguya Kozo did not choose to refuse; he definitely needed to appear to resolve this matter, and only his confirmation could send the delusional Kaguya Ichiro to prison completely.

This would also spare others from having any extra thoughts.

"Natsue, come with me."

"Coming, Grandpa."

As for the other members of the Kaguya clan, Kaguya Kozo did not even deign to look at them.

And Kaguya Natsue, who followed behind, did not look back at those former relatives behind her.

At this moment, she no longer considered these people to be her family; after the incident where Grandpa was almost stabbed to death by her cousin Kaguya Ichiro, Kaguya Natsue no longer believed that these blood-related people had any further connection with her.

She was completely disappointed in these former family members.

Next, Kaguya Natsue understood that the future focus was not on those family members, but on Mr. Fool, whom she now believed in.

The other members of the Kaguya clan walking behind watched the grandfather and granddaughter walking ahead; everyone felt a dark cloud gathering over their heads, and the bad feeling was already very obvious.

"It seems the old man has made his decision."

Kaguya Shoji sighed weakly; Ichiro's move this time had completely worn away the old man's remaining familial affection.

He was also one of those implicated.

But he actually understood that the old man was unwilling to pay for his so-called dream anymore.

Kaguya Shoji knew he needed to prepare himself mentally for the future.

Perhaps, after returning, he could dispose of his shops; otherwise, his life in the future would likely be very difficult.

"Why... always Natsue..."

Clad in a sexy V-neck gown, Harimoto Akie felt only an anger beyond words.

Since the past, she had been the one not favored by Chou.

When Mom and Dad were alive, they only doted on Xia Jiang.

After Mom and Dad passed away, Grandpa also only doted on Xia Jiang; as the older sister, she had always been overshadowed. Though she had done so much, she still received no attention whatsoever.

At this moment, she also felt that everything was drifting away from her completely; Harimoto Akie felt only overwhelming powerlessness.
