Getting Straight to the Heart of the Matter.

When Hasegawa Izumi learned of the two's purpose, she sighed.

"Hmm? Does big brother have the ability to foresee the future?"

Natsukawa Mana looked shocked.

"I was just imagining that outcome."

He smiled faintly.

"This is somewhat different from what I expected..."

Natsukawa Masuzu continued, "I originally thought it would be that person bullying you. After all, becoming the heir of the Natsukawa Family isn't easy. It's not unreasonable for them to exchange your happiness for some benefits in order to consolidate their position."

Natsukawa Mana remained silent and lowered her head.

She had also considered that possibility.

After all, in such wealthy and powerful families, people often have no say in the matter.

"But unexpectedly, that person himself got into trouble first. It really was like letting a wolf into the house. This is the result of his overconfidence in being in control of the whole situation."

The Witch let out a series of sneerful laughs.

"Oh? So you're still choosing to stand up for your Little Sister?"

Hasegawa Izumi raised an eyebrow.

"In this respect, that's probably the aspect in which I'm most similar to the Club President."

"That's definitely not it."

"That's true, the Club President is a total Sister Complex."

"Ha..."

As they talked, the topic veered off course.

"So, does that mean Xiao Liang has always cared about me?"

The girl with twin ponytails behind them had already realized what was happening.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just taking pity on you. After all, that was the path I was supposed to take."

Natsukawa Masuzu didn't turn her head; only Hasegawa saw her expression.

"Thank you, Xiao Liang, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

"What are you thanking me for, you idiot?"

Hasegawa Izumi silently watched the two sisters' awkward exchange, and almost laughed.

Even Kōko is more straightforward than these two.

"Alright, excuse me for interrupting you. Don't forget something important."

He interrupted.

"Oh right, we need to go rescue Dad..."

Natsukawa Mana realized what was happening.

"No need to rush, that person is just being held in captivity, he won't die anytime soon."

Despite uttering harsh words, Natsukawa Masuzu still took action, reaching out to take the arm of the person in front of her.

"Let's go, Club President. Consider this your evening walk with me."

This time, Hasegawa Izumi, out of consideration for her Sister Complex, slightly indulged the girl's transgression.

The three of them took the tram and arrived near the Natsukawa Family.

After walking for ten minutes, we arrived at a villa.

Well-dressed guards stood watch at the main entrance, maintaining a high level of security.

"Let's go straight, they can't stop us."

Natsukawa Masuzu chose a swift and decisive approach.

When she agreed to help, she was already destined to reveal something.

By now, the existence of superpowered Ability User is no longer a secret to those in power in high society.

Unless a major conflict breaks out between the two sides, this identity is entirely beneficial.

"Oh."

At this moment, Natsukawa Mana was like a puppet, having completely relinquished her autonomy.

"Oh, aren't these the two Young Lady? I heard you two don't get along very well, but it seems that rumor was false."

A bald man wearing sunglasses was the first to spot the two arriving.

"I thought Mana young lady had gone into hiding after hearing the news, but I didn't expect her to come back and walk right into our trap."

Then another security guard joked.

"I'm not walking into a trap, I'm here to save Dad!"

Natsukawa Mana couldn't help but retorted.

"Hahaha..."

Instantly, all the guards burst into laughter.

"Miss Mana, can't you see the truth? But you don't need to worry. Although Mr. Liang may lose some power, he can still live a comfortable life as a wealthy man. And that person doesn't necessarily want to kill you all... Come on, let the two Young Lady go home."

The bald security guard waved, signaling someone to open the gate.

In their view, two weak women and a boy posed no threat whatsoever.

Natsukawa Masuzu originally intended to take action directly, but seeing how generous they were, she went along with it.

It's not too late to take action after meeting Natsukawa Ryoji in person.

"Young man, are you going in too? It'll be troublesome if you want to come out later."

As Hasegawa Izumi walked by, one of the bodyguards said something out of kindness.

"It's alright, I'm leaving. No one can stop me."

A calm yet powerful voice drifted past my ear.

The bodyguard paused for a moment, then thought to himself, "Damn, if I had this level of swagger back then, wouldn't I have gotten girls all by myself?"

Once inside the villa, security became even tighter, with bodyguards stationed at regular intervals.

However, although it was imprisonment, it only restricted Natsukawa Ryoji's movements and did not use any violent means, indicating that the other party wanted to conduct a peaceful transfer of power.

So when they met, apart from looking a little haggard, Natsukawa Ryoji was no different from usual.

"Mana, why are you back? Didn't I tell you to hide? And M Liang..."

Upon entering the room, Natsukawa Ryoji walked quickly with a worried expression.

"Don't call me by my name. We've severed all ties."

Natsukawa Masuzu, completely unfazed, choked on the choke.

His expression immediately turned somewhat awkward.

"Dad, what's going on?"

Natsukawa Mana then asked.

"It's nothing, just a power grab... He's a capable man, the Natsukawa Family should be better off under his leadership."

At this point, he looked somewhat relieved.

"Dad, are you giving up already?"

Natsukawa Mana was completely baffled.

Hasegawa Izumi was starting to lose her composure.

No, I'm here to watch the show.

Is this already the end of your story?

"What else can I do? The others won't support me. I've confirmed it; that person is indeed Ability User... I never expected such a talent to emerge from the branch family. I guess it's fate."

"Useless! I was even planning to come and help you."

Just as Natsukawa Ryoji was about to give up, a Witch's angry shout came from the side.

"M Liang, you're actually going to help me? You must be joking."

A question mark appeared above his head.

"Dad, let me tell you, Xiao Liang is actually..."

Natsukawa Mana tiptoed and whispered in his ear.

"Really?! M Liang is actually...?"

His pupils snapped open.

"Real."

The daughter affirmed it again.

"Cough cough... M Liang. Now let's talk about how you're going to help me."

He coughed twice, rubbed his hands together, and his smile became more obsequious.

His initial arrogance followed by obsequiousness is laughable.

"You..."

Natsukawa Masuzu was speechless.

Hasegawa Izumi, on the other hand, found it very realistic.

The path to expanding the Natsukawa Family's influence was certainly not smooth sailing, and learning to be humble was perfectly normal.

64

Chapter 64 reveals the secret in a single sentence.

Natsukawa Mana looked disgusted.

She never imagined that her father, who was usually so domineering in her eyes, would be so spineless.

And this was in front of the older sister who had been bullied before.

"It's simple: use force to threaten and take back what's rightfully yours."

"It's simple and direct," said Natsukawa Masuzu.

She didn't want to waste too much energy on this matter, nor did she want the Club President to keep making fun of her.

"No, it's not that easy, is it? That person is in charge now, with strong security, and he's also an Ability User. Even if it's M Liang, you won't have an easy time breaking through, will you?"

"I can't help but worry," said Natsukawa Ryoji.

"Hehe."

The Silver-haired Witch chuckled softly, tossing her long hair which fluttered without wind, and said, "Foolish father, you should know... there are differences even among superpowered Ability User!"

Not everyone is a monster like the Miko of Light.

In their eyes, most Ability User with superpowers are just ordinary people!

"Yeah."

When Natsukawa Ryoji saw his daughter so confident for the first time, he was momentarily stunned, and then something suddenly came to mind.

"M Liang. I've already found your mother's current address. If you have time later..."

How is she doing now?

"Things are alright now. I have a new family and another daughter."

"I understand, that's enough."

After a slight flicker in Natsukawa Masuzu's eyes, she finally suppressed the lingering longing in her heart.
