Hashimoto Maya looked at the devastated Ruri Ujo, then at Nagumo Akira with his head lowered, and then at Nagumo's Biological Son, Nagumo Nobuharu, and quietly sucked in a breath.
"That little old man was way too impulsive. Even if it was to protect the daughter he'd only just acknowledged, what was the point of killing Kazami Yoshiteru? He was just a brainless playboy. If even he knew Nagumo Akira had a young lover, then his dad and that huge pack of paparazzi under his dad definitely knew more, and knew it more clearly. Otherwise, they wouldn't have so casually let Kazami Yoshiteru leak the rumor that 'Nagumo Akira was meeting his young lover in secret.'
"I remember that President Kazami was cunning as hell. He released the dirt he had in batches. According to his usual methods, he probably would have used the popularity of tonight's live broadcast to first expose that Nagumo Akira had a young lover with a huge age gap, then leech off Nagumo Akira's traffic while guessing this and that, dragging a whole bunch of female celebrities into the water.
"After that, once the heat died down, he would release the scoop that 'the young lover is Ruri Ujo,' keep leeching off that female celebrity's traffic, and by the way stir-fry the expired leftovers from before...
"But now that his precious only son had his throat cut by someone, he'd definitely change his tempo and retaliate like mad. And one of the ways he'd retaliate would be with Nagumo Akira and his 'young lover'... But now Nagumo Akira and Ruri Ujo actually turned out to be father and daughter. That, on the contrary, left him with nowhere to exert his strength. He'd have to change his methods all over again."
