The Kujo Family's Idea of Taking a Son-in-Law / Shiina Hiyori Likes Holding Hands with Fingers Interlaced

Ichinose Honami's words weren't all said in anger; some of them were her true feelings.

Although she knew it was a little shameful to do this, Ichinose Honami had already made up her mind. What she wanted was to be with Hashiba Hikaru for the rest of her life, and she was willing to accept the price if it meant paying it.

"Honami, you really don't need to wrong yourself. I'm not..."

"He was just daydreaming a moment ago, Hikaru is so shameless!"

Ichinose Honami clung to his arm, her tone playful.

"Well."

"Alright, alright, I don't mean to blame Hikaru. After all, men are like that; they always want to pursue more experiences."

Ichinose Honami spoke eloquently, as if she understood her boyfriend's entire thought process.

"Since that's the case..."

Hearing her say that, Hashiba Hikaru smiled and said, "Then how should I make Honami happy?"

"Snort."

The girl rolled her eyes at him, then reached out and hugged Hashiba Hikaru's neck tightly.

"Of course, you have to fulfill your duties as my boyfriend first and serve me well!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

Chapter 811 The Kujo Family's Idea of Taking a Son-in-Law

On Saturday night, Hashiba Hikaru gave his girlfriend a lot of comforting, which greatly relieved her psychological burden.

The next day, when the boy got up to wash, Ichinose Honami was still fast asleep.

"It's been two days since we returned to school. Things should be going well with the Koenji Family, right?"

After all, this was a plan that had taken a long time to prepare. When Hashiba Hikaru took out his phone, he found a new news report in his group chat with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and Sakayanagi Arisu, which had been forwarded the night before.

[The Kujo Family has decided to hold a press conference next Monday. According to reliable sources, the content of the press conference is related to their chosen agent. Please stay tuned.]

"It really worked! This time, we might be able to deal a heavy blow to Ayanokoji Atsuomi's arrogance and prevent him from ever making a comeback."

Hashiba Hikaru touched her chin, looking forward to what was about to happen.

On the top floor of the Koenji Family, Kujo Hayato and Koenji Morito sat facing each other, with a pot of boiling tea on the small table between them, emitting a faint fragrance.

"Mr. Kujo, are you really sure about this?"

The blond man was very knowledgeable about tea ceremony; his movements as he poured tea were both elegant and skillful. The Koenji Family was not a nouveau riche family, but a noble clan with a long history.

"Yes, I didn't expect that wolf cub had already planned to sever ties with the Kujo Family. If he succeeds in becoming Cabinet Minister, how can our Kujo Family possibly benefit?"

Kujo Hayato has devoted decades to managing the Kujo Family, and even without a suitable successor in the younger generation, he still firmly holds onto the family's lifeline.

Since we misjudged the situation, we must cut our losses promptly.

"Of course, we can't predict these things before they come to light."

Koenji Morito took a sip of tea, his tone calm, "After all, Professor Ayanokoji is very capable, and has always done a very good job as the representative of the Kujo Family."

"Hmph! That bastard does have some tricks up his sleeve, but he's forgotten the most important rule."

The old man with a white beard had a gloomy look in his eyes, and his voice was filled with barely concealed anger, like a volcano about to erupt.

A person cannot stand without integrity.

"That's true. My father often mentioned this to me when I first came to work in the family business."

Koenji Morito nodded in strong agreement.

"If Morito hadn't obtained this information beforehand, I would still be kept in the dark by this wolf cub."

Kujo Hayato suddenly looked at the blond man sitting opposite him, and abruptly changed the subject.

"I was a bit hasty last time and forgot to ask you, Morito, how did you get this information?"

"Heh, Mr. Kujo, you're quite amusing. I kindly provided you with the information, and now you want to investigate me?"

Koenji Morito, of course, wouldn't give an honest answer. After all, his original plan was to wipe out the Kujo Family and Ayanokoji Atsuomi in one fell swoop. Although the current result was not bad, how could he say such a thing?

Upon hearing his excuse, a glint of shrewdness flashed in the eyes of the old man from the Kujo Family, and he asked a second question.

"In that case, I won't ask about the Koenji Family. I want to know something else."

"What's up?"

The blond man sized up Kujo Hayato sitting opposite him, and couldn't help but recall what had happened a couple of days ago.

When he handed over the information sent by Hashiba Hikaru, it was the first time that Koenji Morito had seen this old man, who had been in charge of the Court Noble Clan for decades, display such an extremely out-of-control demeanor that he even broke the cane in his hand.

That's really interesting!

"What I want to ask is, is the source of this information... related to that Hashiba you mentioned last time?"

A solemn expression appeared on Kujo Hayato's aged face, as if he took this answer very seriously.

Why did Mr. Kujo suddenly bring up Hashiba- kun?

Koenji Morito intended to change the subject.

"Because I have a feeling that this teenager, Hashiba- kun, must have played a huge role in this matter, otherwise you wouldn't have made that face."

Kujo Hayato had spent his entire life studying people, and even though Koenji Morito was a shrewd businessman, he still couldn't escape his eyes.

"Alright, since Mr. Kujo is so serious, I'll tell you then."

Koenji Morito thought for a moment. The Kujo Family hadn't been greatly affected yet. The best solution was to deal with Ayanokoji Atsuomi's future and then slowly erode their power. There was no need for the Koenji Family to break off relations now.

"This matter is indeed related to Hashiba- kun. He is a rare young talent. If he had been born into the Koenji Family, I would definitely have made him replace Rokusuke."

The blond man smiled. This wasn't a lie. If Hashiba Hikaru was truly his son, he would certainly receive the highest level of training and officially take over the family business after graduating from high school.

"Is that so?"

The old man from the Kujo Family seemed to recall a thought from long ago, and continued speaking.

Was he really born into a commoner family?

"Yes, Mr. Kujo only needs to do a simple investigation into his background, right? It's not a secret."

Koenji Morito knew that the Kujo Family was very powerful, and investigating a child from an ordinary family was child's play.

"If that's the case, then what I mentioned last time might actually happen."

The old man stroked his beard and murmured to himself.

"Wait, Mr. Kujo wouldn't be thinking of...?"

Upon hearing this, Koenji Morito's expression changed slightly.

"Hehe, I heard he's a very flirtatious kid, this flaw is nothing."

Kujo Hayato thought about it more and more and felt that this plan was very good, and a smile finally appeared on his aged face.

"I don't think Hashiba- kun will accept it."

"That's not necessarily true. What I can give him is the entire Kujo Family. If he wants women, I can even marry Rika and Aoi to him."

There is truly no suitable heir in the current generation of the Kujo Family's main branch. Both of Kujo Hayato's sons died in accidents, leaving behind only two granddaughters.

If he were to find a husband to marry into the family, he believed that Hashiba Hikaru the most suitable candidate.

"I've seen the child's picture; she is indeed very good-looking, and she doesn't disgrace my granddaughters."

The Kujo Hayato's eyes narrowed into slits.

"Once he becomes my grandson, he can have as many mistresses as he wants, as long as the children he fathers bear the surname Kujo."

After listening to the other person's monologue, Koenji Morito suddenly felt that the situation was not good.

Originally, according to his initial plan, Hashiba Hikaru should have become Koenji Rokusuke's assistant, working together to help the Koenji Family advance further. However, if she really chose to marry into the Kujo Family, his initial plan to annex the Kujo Family might encounter major problems.

After all, Koenji Morito had already experienced the boy's methods firsthand, and once he gained power, he would definitely become a very difficult opponent.

"Morito, since you are quite familiar with that child, please arrange a meeting for me. I will bring Rika and Kui with me to see him."

The old man stated his request and suddenly looked into Koenji Morito's eyes.

"..."

Chapter 812 Shiina Hiyori likes to hold hands.

Hashiba Hikaru, of course, had no idea that an old man had his eye on her.

Today is Sunday. He plans to meet with the members of his squad in the morning to exchange information, and then go on Shiina Hiyori in the afternoon.

After changing into simple casual clothes, the meeting place today was still that relatively secluded private room. Although Ayanokoji Atsuomi was currently in a quagmire, it was best to play it safe until he was completely dragged into hell.

After everyone had arrived, Sakayanagi Arisu spoke first.

After all, she could easily use the Sakayanagi Family's channels to gather all sorts of information, giving her a clearer understanding of the movements within the upper echelons of society.

"Classmate Hashiba's operation this time was very effective; rumors are already Ayanokoji that Ayanokouji Atsuomi has been abandoned by the Kujo Family."

The silver-haired girl sat next to Hashiba Hikaru, a smile playing on her lips.

"But I remember that Ayanokoji Atsuomi already had a group of staunch supporters. Even if he lost the Kujo Family, he shouldn't be so easy to defeat, right?"

Hashiba Hikaru is waiting for the Koenji Family's move. That document can not only sever the man's cooperation with the Kujo Family, but also make him a notorious "traitor" in politics.

This would maximize the chances of him accumulating power, turning him into a complete clown.

"Although he absorbed some of the remaining political forces on Kijima, the impact of this rumor, which has been widely circulated, is definitely not insignificant."

Sakayanagi Arisu her own unique understanding of politics, after all, she has been exposed to it since childhood and her thinking has always been sharp.

"We must urge the Koenji Family to take more action, and there is another important matter at the moment."

At this point, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka offered his own perspective.

"What?"

Hashiba Hikaru turned her head to look.

"Although the man had altered all the furnishings in the [White Room], its operations did not completely cease."

The expressionless boy's gaze slowly swept over the two people in front of him.

"We must completely deal with [the White Room] to eliminate any possibility of him."

"That's true. After all, the [White Room] is a very independent organization, responsible only to him."

Hashiba Hikaru stroked her chin, thinking that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's suggestion was indeed good. After the matter with the Kujo Family was settled, they would have to communicate with the Koenji Family to move things forward.

"Is there any other intelligence sharing?"

"We won't know the specific results until Monday, let's wait and see."

"Can."

The discussion among the three ended with Sakayanagi Arisu's statement that the Kujo Family had already given advance notice that completely severing ties with Ayanokoji Atsuomi would definitely affect the election at the end of the month.

"Then I'll be going now."

After glancing at the time on her phone, Hashiba Hikaru prepared to leave.

"It's Sunday today, what's the rush for you, Classmate Hashiba?"

Sakayanagi Arisu leaned back comfortably in her chair, gazing intently at Hashiba Hikaru, whose face was filled with anticipation.

"Well..."

I'm going back now.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had absolutely no desire to get involved in this matter, so he simply walked out and closed the door behind him.

After the door was closed, Sakayanagi Arisu looked at the hesitant boy and asked.

Are you going on a date with other women?
