Those cruel and disgusting memories of the past were brought back to her mind again, and her hands were shaking slightly.

"I...I won't say hello to you, Hyoudou-senpai."

267, Pressure

"I...I won't say hello to you, Hyoudou-senpai."

Although she looks as weak as ever on the surface, Sagihara Shion exudes an aura of inviolability that allows people to feel her anger and persistence.

"You are still ignorant of the current situation as always. You deserve to live in the mud." Hyoudou Takako was not very angry. She just narrowed her eyes and then looked at Mogami Jun again.

Fiberglass

"After not seeing you for so many days, you look even more dazzling, Mogami Jun." She continued in a mocking tone, "You look quite proud of yourself now?"

"Then, am I more handsome?" Mogami Jun asked with a smile.

"I didn't notice that, but your ability to talk tough has improved—" Hyodo Takako shook his head and glanced at the young man. "If you have any strengths, this is probably your biggest one."

"Thank you for the compliment, I will work harder on myself in this area in the future." Mogami Jun nodded solemnly, "To be honest, I am now the captain of our school's English debate team - I can't do this without some verbal skills."

"You're showing off such a small thing. Is your life really that pathetic?" Hyoudou Takako asked with a sneer, "Do you think I admire you for this? Hey, have you forgotten that I just came back from America?"

"I haven't achieved much in my life so far, so this little bit is enough to show off." Mogami Jun also responded, "But if I were to say my biggest achievement, it would probably be winning 2.3 million yuan one night -"

Although on the surface he was chatting and laughing with Hyoudou Takako and bickering with each other, Jun Mogami's brain was also working at a high speed at the same time, thinking about the sudden change.

He had already heard from his mother that Hyodou Takako had returned from the United States, so he was not surprised. However, he was a little surprised that Hyodou Takako actually broke into the school and found him.

As for the grudge between the two, Jun Mogami thought that he had already settled it with Hyoudou Takako through the battle that night. He also thought that with Hyoudou Takako's character, she would not bring up old grudges at this time, so he couldn't figure out why the other party would come to him again.

Moreover, she found it so accurately that she just happened to catch two people chatting in the library.

Jun Mogami wouldn't think this was a coincidence.

There is only one explanation - although Hyodo Takako left Japan for the United States, she still has spies in the school, and she is still keeping an eye on me and Sagihara-senpai, knowing that I and Sagihara-senpai will meet here regularly.

This is not an honor, but a trouble, even a danger.

In particular, he is now secretly plotting revenge against Hyodo Takako and privately collecting evidence of her previous heinous crimes, such as conducting human experiments on students from her alma mater.

Did she hear some rumors and want to find me to hold me accountable?

But judging from her behavior after she came in, it didn't seem like that.

No matter what, facing this arrogant, cruel and ruthless Miss Hyodo, one must be alert and never take it lightly, otherwise, with the Hyodo family's wealth, status and style of doing things, one will definitely suffer greatly.

"Pathetic... Two million and three hundred thousand have made you so complacent until now, is this the limit of your tolerance?" Hyoudou Takako didn't know what was going through Mogami Jun's mind. After hearing Mogami Jun's sarcasm, she immediately retorted, "In our previous duel, you were pretty good. I admit that you have some skills, but if you think that this proves how great you are, you are totally wrong. Forget two million and three hundred thousand, even if it's ten times or a hundred times, it's just a tiny amount to the Hyoudou family. What we played was just an after-dinner entertainment at best, not even a real game—"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Mogami Jun knew that what Hyoudou Takako said was right.

For the Teiai Group, 230 million yen is really just a drop in the bucket.

He had little reason to be complacent.

However, even knowing this, Mogami Jun understood even more clearly that in front of someone like Hyoudou Takako, humility or patience was of no use. She only saw strength in her eyes, and if he showed even the slightest bit of weakness, he would be gnawed to pieces by her.

Therefore, in front of her, one must act arrogant and uncompromising.

Yes, the person standing opposite him was just someone he had defeated once, so he had enough psychological advantage.

"So, Senior Hyoudou, you came all the way to find us, are you planning to fight me again? Well, as long as you prepare enough money, I don't mind letting you continue to taste the taste of failure—" He raised his head and looked at her confidently, "But this time, a mere 2.3 million won't satisfy my appetite!"

"Jun-kun." Before Hyoudou Takako could say anything, Sagihara Shion behind him became a little anxious and quickly pulled his sleeves, "Don't have anything to do with her anymore!"

She was too concerned and confused. Sagihara Shion didn't understand that Mogami Jun was playing psychological warfare. She was afraid that Mogami Jun would play the same life-and-death game with a demon like Hyoudou Takako. When she saw him having his blood drawn before, she was already heartbroken. If a similar situation happened again, she really didn't know if she could hold on.

In Sagihara Shion's opinion, with Mogami Jun's family background, they are not short of money at all, so there is no need for her to risk her life playing games like she did in the past. Why bother torturing herself?

Seeing Sagihara Shion's nervous and painful expression, Hyoudou Takako nodded with satisfaction, then laughed, "You are scared after all... Boy, don't hold on any longer. Even if it's just to prevent your senior from crying, you should also think about how to save your life in the future. Don't accidentally die because of your arrogance..."

Mogami Jun frowned.

Because he had been suppressed in terms of momentum, he stopped bluffing and instead shook hands with senior sister Sakihara, using this method to calm her down.

This feeling of being suppressed is definitely very uncomfortable.

Especially when this kind of suppression comes from someone you don’t respect or admire.

In his opinion, if Hyoudou Takako did not have the last name Hyoudou, he would never be able to be so arrogant and domineering in front of him.

So...if there is a chance to prevent the Hyoudou family from recovering, he will definitely trample them without mercy!

"Hyoudou-senpai, you came all the way here, right? You didn't come here just to win an argument with two juniors?" Mogami Jun asked unhappily, "If this is just a waste of time, we have to go back."

"You don't really think you can leave before I finish what I'm saying?" Hyoudou Takako asked back. "There are people standing guard at the door."

Jun Mogami secretly clenched his fists under the table.

He became even more unhappy.

"I didn't realize that after going to the United States, the senior has improved again - he has learned to block the door of the junior." He couldn't help but mock him. "If you tell others, everyone will admire you."

"Stop talking nonsense." Hyoudou Takako also frowned, and his expression became serious. "Mogami Jun, I'm here to help you, you'd better show your due attitude and thank me."

"Huh? Help me?!" Mogami Jun was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing. "Senior actually helped me? This is a bit unbelievable to me."

It was really beyond his imagination.

Of course he knew that Hyoudou Takako wouldn't be so bored as to come over and argue with him, but when he heard her say that she wanted to help him, he didn't believe it at all and just found it funny.

Would Hyoudou Takako be the kind of person who would take the initiative to help others? Especially since he had offended her before.

"Of course, I can't help you unconditionally. I have my intentions, but in the final analysis, you will be the beneficiary—" Hyoudou Takako said with a gloomy face, without any trace of joking on his face, "Mogami Jun, I don't think you have forgotten that you will go to my grandfather's party, right?"

"What party?" asked Sagihara Shion in surprise.

Jun Mogami did not speak, but remained silent.

Of course he remembered that he was going to attend a reception hosted by Hyoudou Kazutaka, the chairman of the Hyoudou Foundation.

This was an invitation that his father had fought for him, and his father also saw it as an important step for him to build up his social network.

However, he already knew that this party was not as simple as it seemed, but a place where Hyoudou and Zun played games.

If Hyoudou Takako's game was already bloody and cruel, then Hyoudou Kazuo's game would probably be ten or a hundred times more cruel. According to his father, he was really gambling with the lives of the debtors.

More importantly, he also accepted the request from Senior Umemiya, and was ready to join forces with each other to win the game at the party.

He didn't expect that Hyoudou Takako would suddenly come to him for this matter.

What is her purpose?

"Jun-kun, what party?" Seeing that no one answered her, Sagihara Shion asked again. She looked at Mogami Jun anxiously and continued to ask. "Are you hiding something dangerous from me?"

"Senior, don't worry, it's not a big deal." Mogami Jun shook his head.

"Don't use such empty words to perfunctory me!" Sagihara Shion was a little angry. "It's already like this now, how can I believe it? Tell me, what's going on?"

"Okay, Sagihara Shion, go back first and don't embarrass him anymore." Hyoudou Takako tilted his head, indicating that Sagihara Shion could leave. "Don't worry, no matter what, this matter will not involve you, nor will it cause any harm to you. I am not interested in torturing you right now - this is our business."

"No, I won't leave!" Sagihara Shion stood up suddenly and dragged Mogami Jun. "I won't allow you to harm Jun-kun again!"

She grabbed it so hard that Jun Mogami's arm felt a little painful.

It was obvious that if she wasn't told the truth, the senior would never leave. She absolutely didn't want to abandon herself.

This sincerity is really touching.

Ugh……

Mogami Jun sighed secretly.

"Senior, don't be nervous, it's really nothing, it's just a party."

Then, he told Sigihara-senpai everything about how he was invited to attend the party hosted by Hyoudou Kazuo and the nature of the party.

When she heard that the so-called party had such a cruel secret, Sagihara Shion was furious and filled with indignation, and glared at Hyoudou Takako.

"You...you can actually do such a thing!"

Hyoudou Takako ignored Sagihara Shion's anger and just sat there leisurely. It was obvious that the Hyoudou family did not care about such naive moral accusations at all.

In other words, they simply despise human morality.

After a moment, Sagihara Shion also came to her senses. This righteous indignation had no effect on Hyoudou Takako, so she looked at Mogami Jun again.

"Jun-kun... don't go, okay?" She asked earnestly, "You don't have anything you need from the Hyoudou family, right?"

If it was the beginning, Mogami Jun really didn't want to go, he didn't care about currying favor with President Hyodou; but it was different now, he had already promised his father and Umemiya-senpai, so he had to give it a try no matter what.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I will protect myself. It's okay." He patted the Senior Sister's hand. "Father has already agreed. We can't regret it now."

"Then...then I want to go too!" Sagihara Shion said loudly.

"Unfortunately, you can't get on board without an invitation. You don't qualify." Hyoudou Takako, who was standing next to him, replied coldly and harshly, "So I've already said that this has nothing to do with you."

Sagihara Shion was stunned. She didn't care about Hyoudou Takako's ridicule, but she found it hard to accept that she was of no help to Mogami Jun who might be in danger.

She hated herself for being like this.

"So, Sagihara Shion, you see, the person who can help him the most at that time is me, isn't he?" Perhaps seeing what she was thinking, Hyodo Takako suddenly asked with a smile, "At this moment, shouldn't you abandon the prejudices and grudges of the past and honestly beg me to do something for him?"

“……” Sagihara Shion fell silent.

Due to her pride, she was not willing to ask Hyoudou Takako for help, but her concern for Mogami Jun made her consider the possibility of asking Hyoudou Takako for help.

Seeing the senior sister's dilemma, Mogami Jun suddenly came to his senses.

Hyoudou Takako did it on purpose.

Just now she seemed to be trying to drive Sagihara Shion out, but her words and actions were deliberately creating a tense atmosphere, forcing Mogami Jun to confess everything to her senior and increase her psychological pressure.

If he really didn't want Sagihara Shion to be present, why would Hyoudou Takako deliberately choose the time and place when both of them were present?

So she did it on purpose.

She wanted to create tension between the two of them, using him to torture her and her to torture him.

At the moment, the senior sister has been forced into a state of panic by her - of course, this is mainly because the senior sister cares too much about herself.

It's really vicious.

Was this due to her evil hobby, or was there some other special purpose?

No matter what, at least I shouldn't lose my composure.

Come on horseback!

Mogami Jun stood up and looked down at Hyoudou Takako.

"Thank you for your kindness, Hyoudou-senpai. If you have any other plans, please tell me directly!"

268, alliance?

"Thank you for your kindness, Hyoudou-senpai. If you have any other plans, please tell me directly!"

Jun Mogami's slightly rude behavior did not arouse the anger of Hyoudou Takako. Instead, she pointed calmly at the place where Jun Mogami had just sat.

"Then sit back and listen to me carefully."

This commanding tone made Mogami Jun feel very unhappy, but he knew that this was not the time to argue, so he did not continue to argue, but just stood there, staring at the other party without backing down.

The two men stared at each other again, exchanging intense glances for a few seconds, weighing each other up.

"If you two have something to say, just say it nicely. The library is about to close. Do you want to wait for someone to kick us out?" Seeing that the two people were getting into a fight again, Sagihara Shion couldn't help but speak up to smooth things over.

If it were before, she would have hoped that Jun Mogami and Hyoudou Takako would have a falling out, and it would be best if they would no longer have any contact with each other. However, after hearing about the dispute between Jun Mogami and President Hyoudou Kazutomu, for the sake of Jun Mogami's safety, she decided to suppress her disgust for Hyoudou Takako and at least listen to what this woman was thinking.

After Sagihara Shion's kind words of persuasion, the two people who had not intended to fall out with each other in the first place also went downhill, and the atmosphere finally eased.

"Senior Hyoudou, what advice do you have for me?" Mogami Jun sat down and asked again.

"My grandfather has been playing this game for many years." Hyoudou Takako no longer kept the secret and went straight to the point. "This has always been his way of entertainment. He usually has to manage the entire Teiai Group and is very busy with work. He is also very nervous. Only at this time can he have fun and relax..."

"The result is at the cost of other people's pain and even their lives." Mogami Jun complained coldly.

"Tsk, I don't think you are a compassionate person. Why are you suddenly showing mercy at this time? Who are you kidding?" Hyodo Takako sneered in response, "My grandfather is in charge of Teiai and is responsible for the most important national economy and people's livelihood of this country. It is because of his efforts that tens of thousands of employees can live a life without worries about food and clothing, and the government can get taxes to do things that must be spent. In the face of such a grand contribution, what does playing a slightly out-of-the-ordinary game mean?

In the final analysis, even if he kills some of his toys, what has Japan lost? It has only lost a bunch of useless garbage, the dregs of society. These people lack the most basic self-control ability, and they are idle and in debt. They can't make any contribution to society while they are alive, and they will only drag down their families. Letting them leave the world early would be a mercy to them——"

"Hyoudou Takako! What qualifications do you have to insult those sacrifices?" Sagihara Shion couldn't help it and interrupted her loudly, "Please think about it, you and your grandfather are just human beings!"

"We are all human beings, but our values ​​are completely different—" Hyoudou Takako was unmoved. "No matter how much you preach, this is how the world is. Some people can do whatever they want, while others can only lie on the ground and let others do whatever they want to them."
