The strongest high school student in Japan

Sagihara Shion's words hit his pain point, or more generally, hit the pain point of several generations of their family.

Ever since their ancestor offended the Emperor and caused the family to fall into decline, several generations have worked tirelessly to revive the family. Unfortunately, after several generations of efforts, although they can be said to be standing at the upper level of society, it is still far from their status in the past.

So when he was mocked in person by a humble girl who had nothing, the anger he felt was simply uncontrollable.

People's anger usually comes from facts that they cannot change.

And his anger came from the fact that what Sagihara Shion said was basically true.

At this moment, Mogami Junzheng and the senior were walking forward side by side. He didn't say anything the whole time, but just looked at Senior Sagihara with a look of slight surprise and admiration.

The senior student's eloquent speech just now had already shaken his nerves.

He had not expected that the usually taciturn senior sister Sagihara could be so eloquent and could even make a sophisticated adult like Matsukata Nobuyuki so angry in person, and also let him vent his anger.

But there was no expression on the senior student's face now, neither angry nor upset, she just kept walking forward with the folded umbrella.

Although it was already afternoon and the sun was not as strong as when it came just now, the scorching sunlight was still so strong that it quickly caused beads of sweat to appear on her pale skin.

"Senior, let's find a place to rest for a while?" Mogami Jun suggested. "It must be a bit hot, right? How about a cold drink?"

As he spoke, his eyes searched around and soon found a small shop selling milk tea nearby.

"Okay." Sagihara Shion nodded and agreed to Mogami Jun's proposal.

Then, the two of them sat down together in the store and ordered a cup of milk tea each.

Jun Mogami said nothing. His eyes were focused on the pudding milk tea in front of him, sipping it slowly.

Sagihara Shion looked at Mogami Jun's eyes with a joking look and couldn't help laughing.

"Chun Jun, it's rare for you to be so well behaved..."

Jun Mogami was a little embarrassed and speechless.

Just now at the Matsukata family, Matsukata Nobuyuki directly pointed out on the spot the intention of the Mogami family and the Izumo family to form a marriage, and he had been hiding this matter from Senior Sagihara, so now he is thinking about how to explain this matter smoothly.

However, the senior sister was not so easy to fool. He couldn't think of any perfect excuse, and he felt guilty, so he couldn't say anything. He could only lower his head and drink milk tea.

"Actually, there's no need to worry about it. I... knew it a long time ago." Sagihara Shion took a sip of milk tea and said quietly. "Didn't you notice that when Matsukata Nobuyuki said it just now, I wasn't surprised at all."

"Eh?" Mogami Jun was a little surprised and looked up at the senior. "How did you know that? Did Asana tell you?"

"She didn't tell me directly, but... there are some things that don't need to be said in person..." Sagihara Shion's smile was mixed with emotions. "When you first mentioned her current predicament and said that her mother was planning to marry her to her cousin, I was wondering if Jun-kun's family approached the Izumo family for this purpose? Later, after Asana and I met, I asked her about it several times and it really confirmed my conclusion. To be honest, I'm not surprised. This kind of thing should be a common occurrence in your circle."

Having said this, the senior student stopped talking, and a strange silence fell between the two of them.

Although the senior appeared very calm on the surface and was even trying to find excuses for him, Mogami Jun always felt that there was a kind of... an indescribable sadness hidden in it.

"Senior, I'm sorry..." Jun Mogami sighed.

"Jun-kun, you have nothing to apologize to me for. You have the freedom to act as you wish, and there is nothing wrong with obeying your parents' orders." Sagihara Shion shook her head. "Besides, no matter how you look at it, Asana is an impeccable match, right? Even if your parents want her to enter their home, it is completely understandable. It is also because of this understanding that I have never said anything so far. You don't have to mind. I really won't be angry about it."

"Even so, I still want to apologize, because I did hide it from you, although I didn't mean any harm." Mogami Jun finally raised his head and looked at the senior, his eyes full of sincerity, "Senior, since it has come to this, please let me tell you all the facts clearly."

Then, he told her everything that had happened between him and Asana since they first met, including the details of the blind date drawing at the shrine, without holding back.

Sagihara Shion had been listening the entire time, and only spoke again after he finished speaking.

"I never thought you would reject someone on the first day... Jun-kun, I admire you a little bit now."

"Senior, please stop joking..." Mogami Jun was a little embarrassed.

"I'm not joking, I really think so." Sagihara Shion replied, "Jun-kun, why did you reject me so directly? Is it because of me?"

Mogami Jun knew that the best answer here was obviously "Yes, it is indeed for you", but he didn't want to deceive his senior at this time.

So, even if it wasn't the best answer, he wanted to tell the truth.

"It's true that part of the reason was because I was concerned about my senior, but I was more concerned about not wanting our lives to be completely decided by our elders, and I didn't want to spend my life with someone who didn't like me. Although Asana is very cute, we didn't know each other at all at the time. If she just obeyed her parents' orders and stayed with me, it would only be a tragedy, and I don't like tragedy."

"So, in the end, Jun-kun's idea was, 'If you get married just for money, you won't be happy,' right?" Sagihara Shion seemed a little surprised. "I didn't expect that Jun-kun, who usually looks rebellious and arrogant, is unexpectedly conservative in this regard..."

"This has nothing to do with being conservative or not. I just don't want to repeat the same mistakes." Mogami Jun smiled bitterly. "I haven't told you about my parents. Actually, they also had this kind of marriage. My father married his boss's daughter for his own future, and my mother married my father because of my grandfather's strong recommendation. As a result, the two of them have always had incompatible personalities after marriage, and they always ended up quarreling. I grew up in the sound of their quarrels... If I have to repeat this kind of life again, wouldn't it be asking for trouble? I wouldn't do it no matter how much money you offer me!"

"So you and Asana have been together many times now, right? Do you know each other well enough? Are you still worried that if you marry her, you will repeat the life of your parents?" Sagihara Shion suddenly asked. "How is it? Are those properties attractive enough now?"

"Uh..." Jun Mogami was suddenly speechless.

He hasn't thought about it yet.

But if you think about it carefully...it seems, as if, not that hard to accept.

Unlike her mother, Asana would never initiate an argument with others. If she were to get married, she would definitely listen to her husband's opinions - although this might seem a little boring, it would definitely not cause her pain.

And that huge amount of wealth will also fall into the control of other people...

It is impossible to say that he completely despises money. He certainly knows what money can do in this society.

Most importantly, Asana is really cute...

So if you ask him now whether he would reject Asana, and if you answer according to his conscience, it seems that he really doesn't know how to answer.

But soon, he came to his senses.

"Senior, what do you mean by this?" He looked at Sagihara Shion seriously, "Do you think I'm really as despicable as Matsukata Nobuyuki said, that I deliberately want to sabotage other people's efforts because my proposal was thwarted, and then find another opportunity and finally take all the wealth for myself?"

He took a deep breath, and without waiting for Sagihara Shion's reply, he continued, "I admit that the current situation is a bit like this, but I have never thought about it this way. I helped Asana only because I felt sorry for her current situation, and I never had any evil thoughts... If senior sister doesn't believe it... ah..."

He couldn't continue speaking because Sagihara Shion suddenly picked up the milk tea cup in her hand and covered his mouth with it.

The milk tea shook violently, but fortunately it was blocked by the plastic lid so that it did not spill out. However, even so, the straw still shook back and forth in his mouth, scraping his mouth and tongue a little painfully.

"Don't say that! I never doubted you for a moment!" Sagihara Shion looked at him anxiously, "If I still don't dare to assert this now, what qualifications do I have to call myself Junjun's friend? I just... just... really think that if things develop to that point, maybe it will be better for Junjun..."

Then, she lowered her eyes slightly, "If we are talking about mean and evil, I should be the evil one."

Senior, evil?

Jun Mogami looked at her in some confusion. In his mind, these two words really could not be put together.

"When I thought about all this, I had sleepless nights..." Sagihara Shion laughed bitterly, "I have never hated anyone, but there was a moment when I suddenly thought that if I had taken the hundreds of millions of yuan myself instead of returning them to the victims, the situation might be very different now. A moment later... I cried. I was ashamed of this thought. I hated my evilness. I didn't know why I had such a thought. I found that I was about to become as bad as my father!"

As she spoke, she smiled bitterly, a smile that looked so heartbreaking.

Finally, Jun Mogami couldn't bear it anymore. He pulled hard and took down the senior's powerless hand. He put the milk tea cup back on the table. Then he grabbed the senior's hand and pinched it hard.

"Does this count as evil? Senior sister, how much do you despise the word evil? Even Tathagata Buddha can't be like a saint all the time, let alone you as a mortal? You can immediately reflect on your thoughts, which is better than most people. What do you have to feel guilty about?!" He opened his eyes wide and looked at the senior sister, "Senior sister, please stop blaming yourself, otherwise I will blame myself twice as much because it is me who has brought you these unnecessary troubles."

"But..." Sagihara Shion wanted to say something.

"There's no buts!" Mogami Jun interrupted her sternly, "In short, senior sister, you don't need to feel guilty, and you don't need to feel sorry for yourself. It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor. I don't care at all. It's just a few hundred million, right? With your ability, even billions in the future will be no problem! But I'm afraid you don't care about these things at all, right?"

Yes, he knew that for Sagihara Shion, money was just appearance and she had never cared about it.

She was just afraid that she couldn't be compared with Izumo Asana.

But what do these external things mean to Mogami Jun himself? He never looked up to Izumo Asana because of money, and of course he would not treat Sagihara Shion coldly because of money.

Maybe in the future, after being baptized by society, his ideas will be different, but at least now, the young man's passion is still of some use.

He would never agree with what Matsukata Nobuyuki did.

"Jun-kun..." Sagihara Shion had been looking at Mogami Jun, listening to his every word, and in the end she could hardly say anything.

But she kept every word he said in her heart.

The two fell into silence again.

"Okay, let's talk about how to help Asana. After all, this is the most important thing right now." After a long time, Sagihara Shion said in a low voice.

It seems that this period has passed.

"Please wait a moment for me to moisten my throat. I'm a little thirsty after talking so much in one breath." Mogami Jun replied with a smile.

Then, he picked up the milk tea cup that Sagihara Shion had just used to cover her mouth and took a deep sip from the straw.

"Eh!?"

Only then did Sagihara Shion remember what she had just done.

At the moment she could hardly say anything, she opened her eyes wide and stared at Jun Mogami in amazement.

246, Hunting

Under Sagihara Shion's incredulous gaze, the atmosphere suddenly changed from sadness to awkwardness.

She wanted to reprimand Jun Mogami for his behavior, but she quickly remembered that she was the one who delivered the cup.

Just now, because she was anxious and excited, she didn't care about anything else. She just picked up the plastic teacup in her hand and stuffed it into Mogami Jun's mouth, and then said what she was thinking.

Now when she thought of this, she suddenly found her face getting hot and she was speechless for a moment.

"Didn't you buy yourself a cup? Don't drink it." After a while, she said with a red face. "Give it back to me."

Mogami Jun simply handed the cup, which had only half of the cup left, back to her. Then Sagihara Shion felt even more embarrassed. She looked at the cup and didn't know what to do. She didn't dare to drink the rest in front of her.

But if she really wanted to scold Mogami Jun's frivolous behavior again, she couldn't bring herself to do it. After all, he was sincerely comforting her just now.

What's more...actually...I'm not really angry at all.

I just feel so ashamed.

Her face turned red and she had to change the subject to avoid this embarrassing scene.

"You're right. Now the matter over there is more urgent. We really don't have time to think about anything else."

Then, she smiled bitterly. "Although I just said such big words at the Matsukata family, saying that I must stop him, I still have no idea what to do. I always feel a little embarrassed..."

"Senior sister has done her best. It's amazing that she was able to find out the information about the Matsukata family so quickly. I think if it were someone else, they would be even more helpless now." Mogami Jun replied with a smile, and like her sister, she put the matter behind her. "Don't worry about this problem, senior sister. I actually have some ideas."

"A clue? What clue?" Sagihara Shion asked hastily. "Did you find any weakness of the Matsukata family?"

"Strictly speaking, it's not from the Matsukata family, but from the Izumo family—" Mogami Jun replied with a smile.

Then, he told Sagihara Shion about the rumors that the Izumo family might have been involved in illegal art transactions over the years.

"There is such a thing?!" Sagihara Shion was surprised at first, then showed some sympathy. "Asana... Asana would never have thought that her parents would be involved in such a thing... If she knew the truth, how embarrassed she would be..."

"First of all, this is just a rumor now. We can't be sure it's true. Maybe the Izumo family is not involved in such illegal activities." Mogami Jun answered calmly, "Secondly, even if my parents really did something like this, it has nothing to do with Asana. It's just the problem of the previous generation."

"That's what you say, but the world won't see it that way. If it's true and gets out, Asana will definitely be affected." The senior student answered worriedly, "Parents who behave improperly themselves and bring disaster to their children are really unqualified."

When senior sister Luyuan said this, she must have been thinking about her family affairs and was saddened by the scene.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this mentality that she cares so much about Asana - perhaps she doesn't want to see her own experience repeat itself on Asana.

"In fact, I didn't bring this up to destroy the Izumo family." Mogami Jun explained hastily, "I just wanted to use this as a handle to force Mrs. Izumo to obey our orders and stop forcing Asana. I think that given the Izumo family's position, if we really caught her weakness, Mrs. Izumo would definitely give in."

Sagihara Shion did not answer immediately, but frowned slightly and thought for a while.

After a moment, her brows relaxed and she nodded, agreeing with Mogami Jun's opinion.

"Indeed, although I have never met Mrs. Izumo, from your and Asana's description, she should be a very strict person with a strong sense of self-esteem. She must value the family's reputation more than anything else. If this illegal behavior is caught and exposed, it will be equivalent to destroying the reputation of the Izumo family. This is definitely a result she cannot accept, so...she will probably give in."

"What you think, senior, is exactly what I think." Mogami Jun clapped his hands gently. "As long as we can find relevant evidence and make Mrs. Izumo unable to deny it, then no matter how strong-willed she is, and no matter how arrogant and domineering Matsukata Nobuo is, they will all have to submit in the end! None of them can afford the price of disobeying."

"That is to say, at that time, the Izumo family would allow Jun-kun to do whatever he wants... Even if Jun-kun asked them to give Asana to him, Mrs. Izumo would not dare to say no, right?" Sagihara Shion answered leisurely. "Then we will reverse the situation and become winners from losers, right?"

"Ugh..." Jun Mogami, who had just taken another sip of milk tea, almost spit it all out.

What's going on? My mother made such a joke, and now my senior sister made the same joke again. Is it true that in their eyes, I am really like this kind of person?

But, in that case, would Asana really want to be used as a tool for her parents to apologize?

"Hahaha...Okay, Jun-kun, I'm just kidding, you don't have to take it so seriously." Seeing Jun Mogami's embarrassed expression, Sagihara Shion couldn't help but laugh. "I know, Jun-kun is not that kind of person."

Amid her laughter, the slightly tense and gloomy atmosphere between the two of them dissipated and became relaxed.

"So, Jun-kun, what do you want me to do now?" After laughing for a while, Sagihara Shion asked again. "Don't ask me to just stand by and watch and do nothing again..."

"Since you insist on participating, I will not say anything to ask you to stay out of it. Don't worry." Mogami Jun nodded and responded to the senior's request. "I really need your help this time."

"How can I help?" Sagihara Shion asked immediately, not giving Mogami Jun any time to relax. "Please feel free to ask me to do what I want."

Jun Mogami looked around and made sure that no one was eavesdropping on them, then he carefully lowered his voice.

"Senior, this time we went directly to the Matsukata family to find the real culprit. Although it seems a bit reckless, it also played an unexpected role, that is - diverting the other party's attention. They must be very panicked now, because they never thought that we would come directly to their door. Now, they must also think that we will do everything we can to retaliate against the Matsukata family, and this actually became a smokescreen, preventing the other party from seeing our real goal..."

"In other words, on the surface we will continue to vent our anger on Matsukata Nobuyuki, but in fact this is just a feint. The real target is Matsukata Shizuka, right?" Sagihara Shion immediately understood.

"That's right." Mogami Jun nodded. "The Izumo family is the real focus of the whole incident and the main conflict. As long as we have a firm grip on the Izumo family, they will have to give in no matter what. As for the Matsukata family, it is no longer important."
