Getting Straight to the Heart of the Matter. (Continued)

The beautiful memories of the past can only remain in our memories.

There's no need to ask why I left her, because the answer is already clear in my heart.

Now, things are peaceful and quiet, and we have nothing to do with each other; this is the best outcome for both sides.

Now, the only person she can rely on is one person.

The girl glanced at him furtively out of the corner of her eye.

"What's wrong? Is there some problem you need me to solve?"

Hasegawa Izumi noticed her gaze.

No, it's nothing.

Natsukawa Masuzu quickly turned her head away.

Her fair and rosy cheeks appeared even more vibrant red.

"Tsk tsk..."

The Little Sister next to me pouted and muttered something under her breath.

"So you call yourself an opponent of love... you just haven't met someone you like yet."

Natsukawa Masuzu's body trembled slightly, and her ears turned a bright red, from her earlobe to the tip.

"Guess what they were talking about inside?"

"What else could they be talking about? Probably about how to live the rest of their lives."

"How about we eavesdrop?"

"It's soundproof; you won't hear it."

At the entrance, the two bodyguards started chatting out of curiosity.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

"Mr. Natsukawa, if you don't need to use the restroom, please go back."

"If other people need to do something, they also need someone to accompany them."

They stood in the doorway and spoke.

However, the next second, the two of them collapsed to the ground.

Where they couldn't see, the Platinum Queen delivered a chop to each of them.

"Is this Xiao Liang's ability? That's amazing! Could it be that besides Ripple, she even has a Stand?"

"Although I don't understand it, superpowered Ability User are indeed amazing!"

The father and daughter, Natsukawa, started praising him, but they weren't too embarrassed because they genuinely thought he was amazing.

Let's go.

Natsukawa Masuzu took the lead and stepped out of the room.

At the same time, the four bodyguards standing guard in the corridor heard the sound of a person falling to the ground and all looked over.

"Oh no, Zhengyuan and the other two have fallen to the ground!"

"Be vigilant; there might be a skilled fighter among them."

Upon realizing something was amiss, everyone became on high alert.

They were all well-trained bodyguards, equipped with weapons for close combat; an ordinary person would have no chance of escape in such a situation.

Unfortunately, this time they encountered not an ordinary person, but a Stand User.

"Knock them out."

Natsukawa Masuzu glanced at the bodyguards on both sides, who looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and simply said one sentence.

Because the other party's methods were not very bloody, she showed mercy.

"Who are you giving orders to?"

While the two bodyguards on one side were still confused, they saw the two opposite them fall to the ground swiftly and cleanly.

"Could it be an invisible man?!"

"Is it a superpower?"

The moment this thought crossed their minds, everything went black before their eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Natsukawa Masuzu led the way, as if they were in a deserted place.

They reached the door with almost no resistance.

Natsukawa Mana glanced down at her feet and saw the bald bodyguard who had been chatting and laughing with them earlier.

Throughout the entire ordeal, the bodyguards didn't take any meaningful action, and they didn't even know who the 'person' who knocked them unconscious was.

"Too... too powerful!"

"Is this what superpowers are?"

Having experienced the entire process, Natsukawa and his daughter finally understood the fundamental difference between superpowered Ability User and ordinary people, and were deeply shocked.

"You're already impressed by this? How... shallow of you."

Natsukawa Masuzu scoffed.

However, this feeling is actually quite enjoyable.

Superpowered Ability User are truly the best!

"Although they were all defeated, it wasn't at the same time, so the people behind them should be aware of what happened here."

Natsukawa Ryoji offered a reminder.

[You're quite meticulous.]

It was only then that Hasegawa Izumi saw the demeanor of the head of the Natsukawa Family in him.

"It's alright, even if we let them prepare in advance, the result won't change."

Natsukawa Masuzu's eyes were still filled with disdain, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

[That's exactly the feeling I wanted!]

Hasegawa Izumi scrutinized the girl.

A towering office building stands prominently.

In the room on the top floor, a man in a suit gazed out the window at the night view below, his eyes gleaming with an air of arrogance that suggested he held the world in his grasp.

His name is Natsukawa Takehito, a neglected member of a branch family, but everything changed after that strange day.

He gained incredible power! Legendary superpowers!

He can use this ability to do things that he never dared to imagine before.

However, he was a cautious person, and considering that his initial awakening of his abilities was not much stronger than that of ordinary people, he held back for the time being. It wasn't until recently, when his abilities had reached another level, that he chose to show his true colors.

In fact, he wasn't particularly obsessed with being the head of the Natsukawa Group, since he had already gained superpowers. However, after hearing that there were shortcuts to improving one's strength, he became more interested in increasing his power.

There are limits to what one person can do; he needs more people to help him.

That's why he adopted such a gentle attitude towards Natsukawa Ryoji, and even planned to win him over later.

"Knock knock knock..."

"Come in."

"Boss, something's happened over there."

The secretary walked in hurriedly.

"Oh? What is it?"

With a light tap of his finger on the table, Natsukawa Takehito said with some surprise.

"It seems someone intervened to rescue Natsukawa Ryoji; the guards lost contact with him within minutes, and ultimately didn't even see what the person looked like..."

"However, they previously reported that his two daughters returned with a young man, Chairman, don't you think so?"

The secretary made inferences based on the information she obtained.

"Are they martial arts experts? But they're all well-trained bodyguards; their vigilance shouldn't be that bad... So, are they like me? Interesting."

After dismissing his secretary, Natsukawa Takehito said this with a smile on his face, but he was not at ease inside.

If it's just martial arts, although powerful, as long as one is on guard and doesn't let the opponent get close, he can easily handle it with his abilities. But if it's some kind of strange ability...

After a while.

The group arrived at the foot of the tall building.

"Arrive."

Looking at the familiar skyscrapers, Natsukawa Ryoji felt a mix of emotions.

I thought I was leaving the center of power forever, but I never expected to return so soon...

And it was because he had always disobeyed his daughter.

"Dad, let's go, don't think too much about it."

Natsukawa Mana took his hand and walked forward.

"Um."

He snorted and began to examine himself in his mind.

"Eh, it's the chairman... the former chairman? And Young Lady Mana too."

When the receptionist at the first-floor counter saw them arrive, she didn't immediately realize she needed to change her address.

After all, she only learned about this change in status at noon.

"Mr. Natsukawa, do you have an appointment?"

The receptionist remained polite, but her words clearly revealed a difference in their social status.

Do I need an appointment to come to my company?

After witnessing his daughter's abilities, Natsukawa Ryoji felt emboldened and his voice suddenly became louder.

"His name should be Natsukawa... Wu Ren, right? He should be upstairs now, shouldn't he?"

Natsukawa Masuzu spoke with a chilling tone.

"Miss, I'm sorry, I can't answer your question."

The receptionist, intimidated by the imposing manner, still responded in a low, hesitant voice.

"I see, he's here. That makes things easier."

As if reading something from her evasive gaze, Natsukawa Masuzu turned and walked towards the elevator.

"Miss..."

The receptionist reached out to stop her, but it was just a formality.

Hearing the commotion in the lobby, the security guard at the entrance hesitated for a moment but did not chase after them.

After all, they didn't cause any trouble or risk their lives in front of them!

Just leave it to the people on the other floors!

The elevator in this building does not go directly from the ground floor to the top floor; you need to transfer and obtain the necessary qualifications.

So, the group stopped on the seventh floor from the bottom.

Security guards are stationed at the elevators and stairwells on the top floors, maintaining tight security.

"Mr. Liang? Weren't you...?"

The team leader, who was on patrol, noticed this and came over.
