The holographic screens floating in mid-air and the energy conduits flowing along the ceiling made the eldest daughter, who considered herself quite knowledgeable, wonder if she was dreaming.
Although the people before her were all handsome men and beautiful women, the kind who wouldn't be villains in a movie, Yukino Haruno knew all too well what "hypocritical" meant.
And when her gaze fell upon Jiang Lianqiu, Yukino Haruno's breath caught in her throat.
Even though she seemed to be at odds with her younger sister, Yukino Haruno was, at heart, a sister complex.
Naturally, for Yukino Yukinoshita, who was planning to live alone in high school, her older sister had asked Shizuka Hiratsuka to look after her a bit more, and had also taken the opportunity to learn about her sister's classmates.

"Mr. Jiang...?"
How could the Yukino family, who were at a critical juncture of transitioning from business to politics, not know about the Ginza Argentum Ring?
Their main source of income—the real estate industry—had many businesses that had purely commercial partnerships with the Ginza Argentum Ring.
"You know me?"
"I believe that once people reach a certain level, there's no one who wouldn't know of your existence as the true controller of the Ginza Argentum Ring. If Madam Belfast hadn't already issued a warning within certain circles, prohibiting everyone from disturbing you, your home would likely have been besieged by countless people long ago." She paused and looked at Belfast.
... ... ...
"I presume this lady here is the legendary Madam Silver Maid, Belfast, who makes countless wealthy family heads and leaders extremely envious of you, Mr. Jiang?"
Upon realizing the other party's identity, Yukino Haruno's attitude immediately changed.
She calmly got off the experimental platform, tidied her slightly messy short hair, and gave Jiang Lianqiu an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry for letting you see me in such an undignified state."
She was far too adaptable.
Even though she was the one who was kidnapped.
"When did you get that title?" Jiang Lianqiu looked at Belfast in surprise.
"It's just that you, Brother Qiu, don't pay attention to these things at all," Eriri said, pulling out a lollipop from who-knows-where and licking it. "Sister Beifa has a great reputation outside. After the death of the old master, she remained loyal and unwavering, leading Brother Qiu and helping him build a vast empire. She doesn't covet power at all, always prioritizing Brother Qiu, the ultimate maid—do you know how many wealthy families envy this situation to death?"
"Damn it! You're making me envious!"
"It's just a false reputation," Belfast said with a gentle smile, her beautiful eyes filled with an inexhaustible depth of affection as she looked at Jiang Lianqiu.
"I have already sworn to dedicate everything to my master."
Even though she knew her current situation might be quite precarious, Yukino Haruno couldn't help but sigh at these words.
Indeed, those people's envy was not without reason.
She wished she had a maid like that too!
