The Final Notes Resound on the Uninhabited Island (Complete)

Hashiba Hikaru shook her head. As the saying goes, either don't do it at all, or do it thoroughly.

He never believed that this person, whom he had only met twice, was truly so friendly. How could someone as important as Kujo Hayato be completely unperturbed after being rejected multiple times?

It's just that it was well controlled.

Hashiba Hikaru had no interest in continuing to play along with his act. In any case, there were always many people eyeing the Kujo Family, and there were never many wolves who wanted to share the lion's flesh.

"Investigation Department?"

Upon hearing this name, Kujo Hayato's expression changed drastically. If his previous feelings were confusion and anger, now they were tinged with fear.

Because the investigation department and the police are not the same department, they are responsible for investigating very secretive cases in the country.

"Could it be because of that Ayanokoji guy?"

The old man's face twitched slightly. He seemed to remember something, and a look of fear flashed across his eyes.

"Didn't he say he had already taken care of everything?"

"Yes, processing documents and videos is incredibly simple, but Mr. Kujo may have forgotten one thing."

Hashiba Hikaru watched the helicopter getting closer and closer.

"Their information department is very capable. Restoring the files is a minor matter; more importantly, this is a great opportunity to earn merit."

The boy shook his hand, looking quite composed.

"Since Mr. Kujo has already figured out which part went wrong, I don't need to explain it to you."

"You bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Kujo Hayato, who had been maintaining his composure, finally lost it. His face quickly contorted into a ferocious expression, and a terrifying aura surged around him.

Like an old beast, though aged, its teeth and claws are still sharp.

As the head of a long-established political family, he was not some frail old man, but a genuine, ruthless man who had once taken lives with a knife.

"Hey, are you planning to attack me?"

Although he said that on the surface, Hashiba Hikaru was not careless at all. He brought up the System Panel, ready to activate [Peerless Overlord] at any time.

"Bang!"

Kujo Hayato moved swiftly, pulling a pistol directly from his chest. He gave Hashiba Hikaru almost no time to react before a bullet whistled out of the chamber.

Certainly.

It definitely didn't hit Hashiba Hikaru.

The boy's reaction speed was much faster than his; the instant Kujo Hayato reached into his chest, he dodged to the other side.

"That's really dangerous. I didn't expect you to carry a pistol with you."

After glancing at the gun barrels emitting smoke, Hashiba Hikaru touched her chest, as if she had been frightened.

"Now... we're truly locked in a life-or-death struggle, Mr. Kujo."

His eyes turned cold and sharp, gleaming with a chilling light.

"Since you've pushed me to this point, there's nothing more to say."

Kujo Hayato suddenly threw the gun in his hand aside, and then slowly took off the haori with the Kujo Family crest on his upper body, revealing the light blue samurai kimono underneath.

"Although I am old, I am a veteran of the battlefield. Does Hashiba dare to have a match with me?"

"Bet on with our lives!"

The old man suddenly spread his arms wide, his whole being exuding an incomparably heroic aura!

"What is there to be afraid of?"

Hashiba Hikaru suddenly smiled. If that were the case, it might not be such a bad ending.

He decided not to activate [Peerless Overlord] and instead have a fair duel with the old man.

"Let's go then!"

The boy suddenly raised his head, his gaze sharp as lightning.

Chapter 861 The Last Notes on the Uninhabited Island (The End)

Kujo Hayato has been through a lot in his life.

As a child, because he was not the sole heir in the family, he knew very early on that he had to work hard to achieve everything.

He defeated his elder brother and younger brother to successfully inherit the power of the Kujo Family. To protect this family business, Kujo Hayato's hands are already stained with blood.

However, he does not regret any of the decisions he has made.

"Everything I've done is for the Kujo Family!"

This is the roar in the old man's heart, and also the source of his indomitable spirit.

"Heh, the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind."

Hashiba Hikaru shook her head. "When the Kujo Family fails to produce a suitable heir in this generation, Elder Kujo should learn to restrain himself."

"Do you think my limited evidence alone is enough to get the Investigation Bureau involved? It's just that they've been keeping an eye on the Kujo Family for a while now."

The boy looked up at the distant sky; the helicopter was flying towards the Uninhabited Island and would arrive soon.

"Hmph! Enough talk, let me see what you're made of!"

"Come!"

The two figures quickly approached each other. Although she hadn't activated [Peerless Overlord], Hashiba Hikaru had already mastered [Combat Technique) ] and was quite composed in her fight.

However, when the young man, Seishu, clashed with Kujo Hayato, he was immediately astonished by the old man's physical prowess.

The opponent not only possessed fierce attacks, but also formidable strength. Every move he made was like that of an ancient warrior, both sharp and steady.

"That's incredible! I never knew you had such skills."

Hashiba Hikaru was indeed surprised. When he faced Ayanokoji Atsuomi, he was certain that he could easily defeat him after a few rounds. However, after fighting Kujo Hayato for more than ten rounds, he still couldn't find any weakness in his opponent.

"When I went to the battlefield, your father wasn't even born yet!"

With a loud shout, Kujo Hayato threw a punch straight at Hashiba Hikaru's face.

"Yeah?"

"Smack!"

After Hashiba Hikaru raised her arm to block the opponent's attack, she quickly retaliated with another punch coming from below.

Their fists and feet clashed, each move brimming with killing intent.

"Hmph, although I've read a lot of your information, it was only after fighting you personally that I realized you truly have exceptional abilities. No wonder you've reached this level."

After a period of close combat, a layer of sweat appeared on the old man's face.

"It's no use praising me now. I'll leave you here to await the Investigation Bureau's verdict."

Hashiba Hikaru rubbed her wrist. Kujo Hayato was indeed not to be underestimated. Despite being an old man over sixty, he was stronger than Ayanokoji Atsuomi.

"They have no right to judge me. Even if everything I've done is exposed, it won't matter!"

Kujo Hayato already knows about Hashiba Hikaru's plan. If he can't leave in advance, he can only wait for the Investigation Bureau to arrest him.

"You don't need to worry about that. Mr. Higashiyama has already told me how to handle this matter."

Hashiba Hikaru spoke calmly, showing no intention of backing down whatsoever.

Another dozen or so rounds of close-quarters combat ensued.

When Hashiba Hikaru landed a fierce punch on both of Kujo Hayato's arms, the old man suddenly staggered and took several steps back in one breath.

"While your performance certainly exceeded my expectations, your body has likely reached its limit."

After such a long battle, the boy had sensed the old man's physical limits.

He's really impressive; if it were someone else, the final outcome would have been very uncertain.

"My body can only do this much."

After a fierce battle, Kujo Hayato frowned slightly; he truly felt powerless.

If Hashiba Hikaru were just an ordinary high school student, she would have been beaten down long ago.

Unfortunately, he isn't.

"So, are you going to surrender?"

Hashiba Hikaru touched her chest. "Although you were just about to shoot me, I'm willing to let you go."

"Heh, what kind of person do you take me for?"

Kujo Hayato's sharp gaze fell on Hashiba Hikaru's face, and then he took out a small glass test tube from his pocket, inside which was a milky white pill.

Um?

Could it be that he needs to take medication too?

Hashiba Hikaru stared at Kujo Hayato's expression but made no move to stop him.

If the other person really wants to take the medication, then let them have that wish.

"Don't be so nervous. This is just an item I always carry with me; it's not some special medicine."

Kujo Hayato learned from Shimaku Norinori about what had happened earlier, including Ayanokoji Atsuomi's use of banned drugs during the battle.

"Yeah?"

Although Hashiba Hikaru nodded, he was still very curious about what kind of pills the other person was holding.

"I had already guessed this outcome before I even took action."

After this battle, Kujo Hayato regained his composure. Now that things had come to this, all he could do was try his best to preserve the Kujo Family's assets.

And this pill in my hand is the most important thing.

This is a new medicine developed by the Kujo Family, priceless, and Higashiyama Majo will definitely be interested.

So what do you plan to do now?

Hashiba Hikaru asked.

"Let's wait for the Investigation Bureau to land."

Kujo Hayato glanced at Hashiba Hikaru, "That Higashiyama guy will probably come along too, right?"

"Yes."

"Snort!"

The old man snorted coldly, staring at Hashiba Hikaru's features, and then suddenly let out a long sigh.

"It's fate."

"The seeds you sowed back then have yielded this result; this is not fate, but destiny."

Hashiba Hikaru had no interest in listening to his theory of destiny. Since he had done evil in the past, he should bear all the consequences now that he had been discovered.

The two fell silent until the helicopter landed in the distance.

After a while, the boy heard a dense sound of footsteps.

Looking up, I saw a large group of people emerging from the distant woods. Leading them were several members of the Investigation Bureau dressed in black uniforms, followed by students and teachers.

Hashiba Hikaru saw many faces.

Ichinose Honami, Horikita Suzune, Kushida Kikyo, Sakura Airi Shiina Hiyori, Kiryuuin Fuuka, and Sakayanagi Arisu.

The girls' eyes were immediately drawn to the boy. Although his clothes looked a little wrinkled, his figure was still upright.

It's good that you're alright.

This was everyone's first thought.

"Hashiba- kun".

Higashiyama Majo appeared from behind a member of the Investigation Bureau. He glanced at the boy beside him, then slowly walked up to Kujo Hayato, leaning on his cane.

"Kujo, it seems you've lost completely this time."
