The strongest high school student in Japan

Indeed, if he found evidence of the Izumo family's crimes, it would be like having a trump card, and he would be able to force Mrs. Izumo into a desperate situation. He believed that when the time came, Mrs. Izumo would definitely give in.

But what if she doesn't? What if Mrs. Izumo is just stubborn?

This is the cliff tactic, a bet on who is more ruthless.

If it really came to this, what should he do? Make everything public, so that Asana's family would be shattered and become a laughing stock; or give in at the last minute?

He estimated that based on his personality... he would probably choose the former.

Mom, you must have seen this, so you said Asana was pitiful.

When you think about it this way, it's really pitiful. People on both sides have high hopes for her, but both sides push her into the abyss.

"I don't think Mrs. Izumo is so stubborn..." Finally, Mogami Jun whispered. "She should surrender."

"This is not something you should 'feel' about, because you haven't paid any cost, and you won't pay any price, so you have no right to make decisions for others." Mogami Sayuki replied calmly, "The one who will truly bear all the consequences is Asana, and you made her lose everything so easily. If this is the case, how will she see you?"

"They'll probably hate me to death..." Mogami Jun smiled bitterly. "But, what should I do? Should I do nothing? That's impossible..."

"It's already come to this, and we can't stop." Mogami Sayuki shook her head, "But there is at least one thing we should do, and that is to reveal everything while there is still time, and let Asana decide for herself in the end."

"Ah?" Mogami Jun exclaimed. "I'm afraid she won't agree to this..."

"Everything depends on human effort. Maybe she will agree." Mogami Sayuki suddenly laughed. "Besides, since this is a critical moment that will determine her life, whether she agrees or not, isn't it natural to let her make the decision for herself? Don't you like making decisions for yourself?"

"I'm different from her..." Jun Mogami shook his head.

"What's the difference? Do you think she must be a silly young lady who is ignorant of the ways of the world and doesn't even have the qualifications to make decisions for herself?" Mogami Sayuki refuted her son again, "Be a little more confident in your eye for picking people, kid. I also saw Asana that time. Although she looks quiet and elegant, she is definitely not a fool. She is qualified to make decisions for herself."

When did I choose her... Jun Mogami couldn't help but complain in his heart.

However, overall, what my mother said is not without reason.

Asana is now facing a huge risk, and she also has her own responsibility in this.

Although she had asked me to help her before, she had never asked me to help her like this, right...?

She had reason to know all this and make her own decision.

I really have no right to decide the trajectory of her life.

Otherwise, what's the difference between her and her mother?

"Mom, what will you do if I don't agree with you?" asked Jun Mogami.

"Since I've already called Mrs. Izumo once, I can call her again..." Mogami Sayuki replied with a smile, "And I can call her anytime..."

Mogami Jun sighed.

Mom has said this now, what else can I do?

Never mind, just do as she wishes.

That's right, Asana is qualified to make decisions for herself, and I hope to see her make decisions for herself.

Even if she made a decision she didn't want to see, so what? No one stipulated that she had to live according to her own will.

Since it is a cliff tactic, then let her face the cliff by herself. This is the mercy that Jun Mogami should show to Izumo Asana.

I don’t know why, but at this moment, he felt a lot more relaxed.

"Okay, let's do this."

"Very good, you finally understand things--" Mogami Sayuki smiled happily, then suddenly grabbed his hand and dragged him out the door.

"Mom, what do you want to do?" Jun Mogami was very surprised and asked quickly, but his feet had already been dragged.

"Didn't I mention this to you before? We can just drive to her place like this..." Mogami Sayuki laughed, "It's a pity that you refused last time. We can't miss the opportunity this time!"

Why are you getting so excited about something like this... Jun Mogami smiled bitterly.

"But we haven't told Asana yet..." This was all he could say in the end.

"Then call now, there should still be time." Mogami Sayuki replied immediately.

With no other options, Jun Mogami could only follow his mother downstairs, take out his phone and call Asana.

"Jun...?" Izumo Asana's voice soon rang from the phone. "It's so late, what's the matter?"

"I'm sorry, Asana, for disturbing you so late at night." Mogami Jun coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment. "It's like this, my mother is very supportive of me helping you. She wants to take me and drive from Tokyo to see you. Is it convenient...?"

"Ah!" Chaona exclaimed immediately.

Mogami Jun was also very embarrassed and could only wait for her answer in silence.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" she asked in a low voice after a moment.

"There are various reasons..." Mogami Jun could only smile bitterly, "Anyway, are you free later?"

"How can I refuse a visit from my elders? That would be too rude." Chaona replied in a low voice, looking confused and embarrassed. "Call me when you get to school, and I'll tell you where to meet..."

"Thank you." Mogami Jun didn't know whether he was happy or sighing. "Okay, we'll talk about it later. Sorry to bother you! When adults act capriciously, it's really speechless... I've been fed up with her behavior since I was a child."

"It's okay, it's okay." Asana replied quickly, "On the contrary, I'm very happy. It's my honor that your mother is willing to help me like this... When we first met at the shrine, I felt that she was a very decisive and kind aunt..."

"Goodbye." Jun Mogami didn't know what to say, so he just hung up the phone.

Mogami Sayuki next to her was grinning, obviously she had heard what Asana had praised her just now.

Then, the mother and son took the elevator downstairs together, and then found Mogami Sayuki's Porsche in the parking area and got in together.

"Mom, did you anticipate this situation from the beginning?" Mogami Jun asked his mother while fastening his seat belt. "You cooperated with me at that time, but you were actually waiting for a sudden showdown at this moment..."

"Well..." Sayuki Mogami just smiled and said nothing.

Then she started the car.

Amid the roar of the engine, silence fell again between mother and son.

Jun Mogami kept looking at his mother's half-smiley profile, and he suddenly realized that although he had lived with his mother for many years, he had never understood her.

252, deep meaning

Under her mother's strong request, Mogami Jun had to follow her and set out for Asana's girls' school in the dark.

Sayuki Mogami had never been to that girls' school before, but luckily Jun Mogami had been there once, so he used the map on his mobile phone to find the location of the girls' school, turned on the navigation and led the car to the destination.

When within the urban area, the car could only follow other vehicles and drive slowly, but as the number of vehicles on the road became fewer and fewer, the speed of the car became faster and faster, until finally, Jun Mogami in the passenger seat began to hear the sharp whine of the wheels rolling over the ground, and the road and lights in front of him seemed to have become blurred.

Having once experienced a rush in a car with his mother, Mogami Jun was somewhat prepared and didn't panic like that day, but he still felt uncomfortable.

"Mom, can't you drive slower?" He couldn't help but complain. "Asana is not in a hurry."

"If we can't enjoy ourselves while driving, then what's the point of spending a lot of money to buy a car?" Mogami Sayuki looked disapproving, but continued to accelerate.

Then, she smiled wickedly again, "Mom can't wait for you two to meet as soon as possible~ Don't you want to thank me?"

This joke left Mogami Jun speechless and he could only look at her helplessly.

"Why, do you hate Asana?" Mogami Sayuki put away her smile and asked in a low voice.

"How could I hate her? I can't imagine who would hate her." Mogami Jun shrugged. "If you really hated her, you wouldn't have gone to such lengths to make this happen?"

"I think I understand. Maybe he's afraid that he likes Asana too much." Mogami Sayuki glanced at the rearview mirror and glanced at his son. "What an enviable and helpless little kid."

Then, she stopped teasing and focused on driving, and Mogami Jun was happy to be quiet.

The speeding car moves forward as time passes, and the light spots on the electronic map also move forward slowly, bit by bit.

Finally, we are about to arrive at our destination.

As they approached Ogiyuan Girls' High School, Mogami Jun picked up his phone again and made a call.

It was almost late at night, but when the call was made, it was answered immediately.

"Jun, are you here?" Izumo Asana's voice was a little sleepy, but still very polite.

"Well, we'll be there soon," Mogami Jun replied, "Where would it be convenient for you to meet?"

"Definitely not inside the school. No one will be allowed in without permission." Asana replied in a low voice, "But Umemiya-senpai can take me out, and we can meet outside the school gate. But... in that case, Umemiya-senpai and the others might be there too. Do you... mind? If you mind, I can ask them to leave."

"Ah, if possible, can... can they be asked to step aside at that time?" Mogami Jun replied somewhat awkwardly, "What we are talking about may be quite important, please forgive me."

"Huh?!" Asana let out a surprised cry.

Then she seemed a little flustered, but soon calmed down. "Okay, then after we get out, I'll ask them to stay away. Senior should be able to understand us..."

"Well, sorry to bother you, we'll wait for you at the school gate." Mogami Jun felt relieved.

Just as they finished their conversation, Mogami Sayuki had already driven to the last section of the road.

At this time, in the halo of the high beam, the outline of the school gate can be vaguely seen.

Then, Sayuki Mogami slammed on the brakes. Amidst a sharp whistling sound, the car slid along the road, leaving a long track, and finally stopped.

Everything was quiet again.

Mogami Sayuki turned on the interior lights of the car, then took out a small dressing box, calmly arranged her clothes in front of the mirror, and then put some powder on her face.

"She's very happy," she said while putting on her makeup.

"She doesn't look happy, does she? We're the ones who bothered her so late at night." Mogami Jun retorted. "She might even be impatient."

"You don't know enough about girls. Happiness or unhappiness is not something you need to say." Mogami Sayuki laughed disdainfully, "Didn't you feel that when she said she wanted to meet alone just now, she was really excited?"

"..." Jun Mogami did not answer.

To be honest, he felt it too.

"You have to think about it. She is in such a predicament now. She has been betrayed by the person she respects and relies on the most. She musters up the courage to resist, but she is also extremely helpless. Therefore, she will be particularly grateful to those who are willing to lend a hand to help her." Mogami Sayuki continued to analyze, "And you, you go to great lengths to help her, and even rush to see her in the middle of the night. Of course, she will be very happy, right?"

"That's not bad..." Mogami Jun nodded, then sighed. "But, what we're going to say next won't make her that happy..."

"It is indeed very uncomfortable, but this is the price of growing up. Sometimes people have to face things they don't want to face." Mogami Sayuki also sighed, "If we don't say anything, will what their family did no longer exist? You are not obligated to cover up everything, and you are not qualified to make choices for others. How Izumo Asana wants to live should be her own problem. You can help, but you can't be so arrogant as to do it for others."

What the mother said made sense, so Jun Mogami didn't refute it.

These words were not only spoken to Asana, but also to herself. She had always hoped that she could leave the shackles of her father and find a life of her own.

In this sense, my choice went against her wishes.

But even so, I have things I need to stick to, and I'm sure my mother can understand that.

What she wanted to see was Jun Mogami making a choice for himself.

"I will try my best to explain the facts to her and comfort her at the same time." Finally, Jun Mogami whispered.

"She has suffered so many blows in a row. If she suffers another heavy blow, she will definitely feel bad. It is necessary to comfort her, but I believe she should be able to get through it on her own." Mogami Sayuki put the dressing box back and turned to look at Mogami Jun. "There is one more thing I want to ask you."

"What's the matter? Please ask." Jun Mogami nodded.

"Didn't your grandpa say that after the matter is accomplished, you must threaten the Izumo family and make them give Asana to you?" Mogami Sayuki asked. "That old man would definitely say that, right?"

After all, they are father and daughter, and they know each other too well.

"Yes, that's what he planned." Mogami Jun didn't deny it. "But I didn't think about it that way. After all, I didn't ask for anything in return when I helped Asana. If I used this to threaten the Izumo family, wouldn't that mean that what others said against me was true?"

"So you see, mom has solved your problem, hasn't she?" Mogami Sayuki couldn't help laughing again, "Now it's up to Asana to make the decision - if she doesn't want to continue, then we'll stop; if she wants to continue, then we're just her hired thugs... The matter should be resolved within the Izumo family, and it's not up to outsiders to interfere."

"Ah...?" Mogami Jun thought about it for a while, and finally understood his mother's logic.

This is actually undermining grandpa...Mom just doesn't want him to be happy.

In his mind, he could already imagine Kousuke Heze's rage after learning all this.

"If you target him everywhere like this, he...he will definitely be mad if he knows, right?" he couldn't help but ask.

"It's not the first or second time that I've pissed him off. What's the big deal if it happens once more?" Mogami Sayuki shrugged, looking nonchalant. "Look, he's already an old guy half buried in the ground. Isn't it enough for him to just enjoy his old age? But he just refuses to let go of his obsession and forces his unrealized dreams onto you. He treats you and Asana as his pawns and would rather sacrifice your happiness to realize his own dreams... It would be strange if I didn't go against him! He's just an inhuman and stubborn old man!"

Seeing his mother angrily scolding his father, and recalling the way his grandfather scolded his daughter, Mogami Jun couldn't help laughing.

"Actually, grandpa isn't that evil... He just thinks those arrangements are in my best interest." He couldn't help but say something nice.

"I don't think so. Is it beneficial for you to marry someone you don't like early like me?" Mogami Sayuki opened her eyes angrily, "I've had enough of these twenty years. I don't want you to repeat the same mistake!"

After venting her anger, she calmed down again, "Son, I'm not saying that I don't like Asana. On the contrary, I liked her very much the first time I saw her. I just don't want you to use despicable means to snatch her away by force. In the end, no one will be happy. Instead, it will ruin her life and may even pass on the tragedy to the next generation. How can I bear it?!

On the contrary, if one day you can bring a willing Izumo Asana to me and call me mom, I will praise you a little...hahahaha..."

This teasing made Mogami Jun extremely embarrassed again.

Fortunately, at this moment, the tightly closed gate of the school slowly opened, and several figures walked out from inside and walked towards the car.

Because it was too dark, I couldn't see clearly at first, but as I got closer, I could finally see clearly with the help of car lights. They were a few girls wearing girls' school uniforms.
