Yunyi looked at Sun Meiling, but some doubts arose in his heart.
"Those guys from ' No Head Dragon ' must have been trying to use her status as their adopted daughter to gain Richard Sun's support, right? But this girl doesn't look like a terrorist leader at all."
Despite his suspicions, Yunyi decided to detain Sun Meiling first. After all, he believed the source of the intelligence was reliable; perhaps Sun Meiling was just putting on a good show and had fooled him.
Remembering the idea he had back in the Ogasawara Islands, Yunyi took out his phone and dialed Tatsuya Shiba's number.
After a few rings of the dial tone, Tatsuya Shiba's voice came through the receiver. " Yunyi?"
"It's me, Tatsuya. I'm looking for you—no, I should say I need to talk to you and your siblings about something. Is it convenient for us to meet?" Yunyi didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
"Is it something urgent?" Tatsuya Shiba pressed.
"I guess so, I need your help. What's wrong, are you unavailable right now?" Yunyi asked.
Tatsuya Shiba glanced at Maya Yotsuba sitting opposite him, and after she nodded in acknowledgment, he said to Yunyi, " Miyuki and I are at the Yotsuba Clan main family."
"Oh?" A glint flashed in Yunyi's eyes.
"You've confronted Her Yotsuba Clan Queen Clover? So, who won?"
Hearing Yunyi's barrage of questions, Tatsuya Shiba didn't know how to answer. Moreover, his voice was transmitted to everyone present through the microphone.
Sitting next to Tatsuya Shiba, Miyuki Shiba tried her best to suppress the urge to laugh. For some reason, upon hearing Yunyi's words, she immediately pictured Yunyi's excited expression when watching a spectacle.
Sitting opposite her, Maya Yotsuba's lips seemed to be slightly upturned, but she suppressed it well, and it was not noticeable unless you looked closely. Standing behind Maya Yotsuba, Hayama was scrutinizing the phone in Tatsuya Shiba's hand with a serious gaze, as if he wanted to see through Yunyi through the phone.
"Shall we get back to your matter first?"
Tatsuya Shiba naturally couldn't discuss the Yotsuba Family's affairs with Yunyi, especially in front of Maya Yotsuba.
Yunyi raised an eyebrow. He already had some guesses in his mind, but those words were not suitable to be said on the phone, so he just went along with what Tatsuya Shiba had said.
"I've captured a new leader elected by the ' No Head Dragon,' and I want to get information about Richard Sun from her. However, these ' No Head Dragon ' basically have mental seals on their heads. If I interrogate them rashly, I might get nothing and even kill them. So I want to borrow your sister's Non-Systematic Magic to help me see if I can break the mental seals," Yunyi said, revealing his purpose.
Upon hearing his words, the members of the Yotsuba Family all showed some unusual reactions.
" Yunyi, don't you know what it takes for Miyuki to use Non-Systematic Magic?" Tatsuya Shiba Maya Yotsuba's prompting.
"Isn't it just temporarily freeing you from the constraints? What's wrong with that?" Yunyi asked, puzzled.
Hearing him say that, Maya Yotsuba's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Anyway, that's what I'm asking you and your sister about. Ask your sister if she's willing to help. If not, I'll think of another way," Yunyi said.
"I need to discuss this with Miyuki. I'll get back to you later, okay?" Tatsuya Shiba asked.
"Okay, I'll wait for your message." Yunyi replied and then hung up the phone.
After putting his phone away, Tatsuya Shiba sighed softly.
"Really, this child knows a lot. Tatsuya, does he also have special 'eyes' that can see the connection between you and Miyuki?" Maya Yotsuba suggested.
Tatsuya Shiba was about to answer "impossible," but before he could say it, he remembered the feeling of being completely seen through that they had experienced back in the Ogasawara Islands.
"I think it's possible," said Tatsuya Shiba.
"This is really troublesome," Maya Yotsuba repeated.
"Aunt, what do you think about this?" Tatsuya Shiba asked.
Tatsuya Shiba felt unprecedented pressure from Yunyi. He was only willing to listen to Maya Yotsuba's opinion in order to better protect his sister.
"A secret is only a secret when it's unknown. Now that it's been exposed, no amount of covering it up will help. But judging from his tone, he doesn't seem to be planning to completely sever ties with you. I think that's something we can use. Miyuki, what do you think?" Maya Yotsuba asked.
After pondering for a moment, Miyuki Shiba nodded in agreement with Maya Yotsuba's suggestion.
"Then, Miyuki, I'll leave the rest to you," Maya Yotsuba said.
She has already entrusted this matter to Miyuki Shiba, and even appointed her as the head of the family's acting head. For the Yotsuba Clan as a whole, this is already a statement to the other branch families.
"Oh, right, Miyuki. If possible, could you introduce him to one of the girls in your family? Fumiya or Ayako would be fine," Maya Yotsuba suggested.
"Aunt, isn't this a bit..." Miyuki Shiba wanted to refuse, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Maya Yotsuba's gaze.
" Miyuki, we are Yotsuba Clan." Maya Yotsuba explained her reasoning.
"Whether you're the next head of the family or a candidate, no one can remain uninvolved as long as you're part of this whole. Of course, if you could win that child over to the Yotsuba Clan, the outcome might be different. But you can't do that, can you?"
"Besides, Miyuki, it's just about getting to know each other; there's no need for any special relationship. This is a responsibility they should bear as children from the branch family," Maya Yotsuba instructed.
"Yes, I understand," Miyuki Shiba replied, bowing her head.
"Well, raise your head, Miyuki. As the acting head of the family, you need to adapt to this role as soon as possible." Maya Yotsuba gave her instructions again before letting the brother and sister leave.
After they left, Maya Yotsuba asked Hayama, "Are you sure the information wasn't leaked from within?"
"Yes."
"Whether they are insiders or the heads of the branch families who might know, I have thoroughly investigated them. However, nothing is absolute, and there may be other possibilities," Hayama said.
" Hayama, you're not suggesting that child can also log into the ' Supreme Throne, ' are you? A seventeen-year-old child?" Maya Yotsuba asked.
Hayama did not answer Maya Yotsuba's question; he only had a guess, but no concrete information to prove it.
"Should I find an opportunity to meet this child?" Maya Yotsuba murmured.
