As usual, the call was connected quickly, and Yukio Tonegawa seemed to have a different view of Jun Mogami.

"Good morning. I guess you have good news for me?" His unhurried voice sounded on the phone.

"You are right, Mr. Tonegawa." Mogami Jun replied immediately, "I have captured Sagihara Masao. He is in my hands now. I can hand him over to you at any time--"

"Wow..." Tonegawa Yukio stretched out his voice, not seeming surprised, "Have you finally figured it out?"

He was implying that he had already guessed that Mogami Jun had already captured Sagihara Masao.

Mogami Jun pretended not to hear the hint, "He is in the school now, and I am holding him. When are you going to take him away?"

"Is it possible tonight?" Tonegawa Yukio always did things in a straightforward manner. "I still have a good relationship with the chairman. It should be okay to ask him to make some concessions."

"If that's the case, that would be great." Mogami Jun was relieved. "Then come over tonight."

"Thank you, Jun. You did a great job. Really great." Tonegawa Yukio's voice was still as flat as usual without any excitement. "I owe you a favor."

"Then can you guarantee that Kurosaki Yoshihiro won't take revenge on me?" Mogami Jun asked back.

"Of course, and I have to do it." Tonegawa Yukio replied immediately, "If I don't even protect the people who help me, then I don't deserve to be in my current position."

"Okay then, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Jun Mogami and Hirofumi Hanyu looked at each other again and relaxed with each other.

This matter has finally come to an end.

No matter how many twists and turns and difficulties the process had, in the end, they got what they wanted.

After school in the afternoon, they did not leave the school. Instead, they went to a small room next to the auditorium and found Sagihara Masao, who was still tied up, under the table.

Sagihara Masao, who has been detained for two days, is now in a very weak mental state. His already very thin body has become even thinner, and the scars on his wounds are even more shocking.

Mogami Jun looked at him and suddenly found that he no longer had any hatred towards him. After all, he was no longer a threat.

Sagihara Masao looked at him with cloudy eyes, as if he had a premonition of what was going to happen next.

"Someone is going to take you away soon." Mogami Jun didn't waste any words and told him directly, "It's Tonegawa Yukio."

Sagihara Masao opened his eyes wide and his body twitched slightly.

"Unfortunately, you couldn't escape this result after all. If you want to blame someone, just blame your bad luck. No one came to rescue you after so much time--" Mogami Jun replied coldly.

However, although he appeared so indifferent on the surface, Mogami Jun inexplicably felt a little compassion in his heart.

There is no doubt that if he fell into the hands of Tonegawa Yukio, Sagihara Masao would be badly wounded even if he didn't die - this can be seen from the fact that he was so frightened when he heard Tonegawa's name.

So, now I am the one pushing him into the fire pit.

Even though this guy has ruined Senior Sagihara's life and is now threatening her safety, there are still some psychological barriers when it comes to really pushing him into the fire pit.

Maybe this is hypocrisy... He smiled bitterly in his heart.

Pointless hypocrisy should be cast aside.

"Hehe...hehehehe..." Suddenly, Sagihara Masao grinned and laughed strangely in a low voice.

Jun Mogami looked at the other person's twisted smile and suddenly felt unwell.

Is this guy scared mad? Mogami Jun thought for a moment.

"You think... you think I'll be finished like this?" Sagihara Masao said with a sly smile, pausing each word, "You're too naive, kid."

Jun Mogami did not answer, but looked at the other person calmly.

“It’s been so long, and Kurosaki Yoshihiro still hasn’t come to rescue me. Whether he abandoned me or was unable to find me, we are now all done with each other… I have no reason to serve him anymore.” Sagihara Masao laughed and trembled, “People like me are useful everywhere. Even if I have to be a dog for Tonegawa Yukio, it’s… It’s okay… So don’t think I will die just like that. It’s just a little punishment, right? I can bear it, I can bear it… Hahahaha… Boy, just wait, I won’t die!”

Jun Mogami looked at his distorted face and sighed inwardly.

He said this perhaps to give himself confidence.

But...what the heck.

"As long as I hand you over to Tonegawa Yukio, then whether you live or die has nothing to do with me. The fact that you survived is a testament to your ability, and I congratulate you—" Mogami Jun said coldly, "But if you dare to mess with me and Senior Sagihara again, then next time, and the time after that, it will be the same, and I will make you suffer all the pain. If you don't believe me, you can try again!"

As they were talking, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Jun, I'm here." Then, Tonegawa Yukio's voice came from the door.

Jun Mogami opened the door immediately, and then Mr. Tonegawa's tall and burly figure appeared in front of him.

0--

Behind the Tone River stood several expressionless men in black suits and wearing sunglasses, two of whom were carrying a huge box.

Jun Mogami walked into the room with Tonegawa and others. Yukio Tonegawa looked at Sagihara Masao who was tied to the ground, and then waved his hand.

Then, Yukio Tonegawa lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly.

Someone immediately came forward, blocked Sagihara Masao's mouth with a piece of flannel, and then gave him an injection in the neck with a syringe.

Sagihara Masao immediately fell to the ground. If it weren't for the sound of his breathing, Mogami Jun would have thought he was dead.

Then, two people lifted up Sagihara Masao, stuffed him into a large box, and then carried the box into a car.

The whole process was smooth and quick, as if... as if they had done it countless times.

No, I must have done it countless times.

That’s what the Diai Group is all about.

Jun Mogami looked at Yukio Tonegawa.

He is also a member of the Teiai Group. Although they are cooperating now, maybe one day, they will be enemies.

"Well done, Jun." Perhaps sensing Jun Mogami's gaze, Tonegawa Yukio nodded to him with a smile on his face. "I don't have much time today, but if I have time later, I will definitely thank you properly - do you mind?"

"You go ahead and do your thing. Please do as you please." Mogami Jun spread his hands.

"Okay, goodbye." Yukio Tonegawa nodded to Jun Mogami again.

Then he walked out the door, got into his car, stepped on the accelerator, and disappeared into the dark night.

Jun Mogami looked at the deep darkness in the distance and it took a long time before he looked away.

No matter what, at least he has resolved the incident satisfactorily, and the result is very ideal.

What else is there to be sad about or complain about?

At this moment, his cell phone vibrated again in his pocket. He picked up the phone, looked at the number of the incoming call, and then answered the call immediately.

"Asana?"

"Chun, good evening!" Asana's gentle voice immediately came from the phone.

"Well, good evening." Mogami Jun also greeted, "What happened again?"

"I don't only think of looking for you when I'm in trouble..." Asana protested softly, "It's just... I just want to ask you something."

Although it was a protest, it was not difficult to hear the shyness in it.

This shyness dispelled the last bit of solemnity in his heart and made him laugh.

"I don't think so. I'm just worried that something might have happened to you..." He explained with a smile, "So what do you want to ask?"

"Um...um..." Asana seemed a little hesitant, and only made up his mind after a moment, "Are you free this weekend? I...I want to come to the city..."

294, Art Museum

"Are you free this weekend? I...I want to come to the city..."

Asana's shy tone reminded Mogami Jun of the first time he met her.

"I am free, but what is going on?" he replied.

"It's nothing big, it's just... the National Museum of Western Art is going to hold an art exhibition, and I want to go and take a look, and then... and then I want to ask if you are interested." Asana seemed to have some difficulty speaking, and he finished speaking intermittently, "If you have time, could you please come and take a look together? Maybe we can gain a lot..."

A Western art exhibition...it really seems like an event that young ladies would attend.

Jun Mogami asked himself if he had much artistic talent, but... Asana probably didn't invite him just to experience the exquisite art of Western painting together.

"Actually, if you have any better suggestions, I can also change the schedule." Mogami Jun's brief silence was misunderstood by Asana as his lack of interest, so she continued anxiously. "It's been a while since we last met, and I kind of... kind of missed Jun, so I wanted to see you."

...Jun Mogami suddenly felt a little guilty for letting Asana say such words despite her shyness.

Logically speaking, there are so many people begging to go to the art exhibition with her, but she hasn't even had the chance yet, so how can she be so picky?

"No, I think the exhibition is great. I've wanted to go there for a long time. I'll definitely go if I have the chance." Mogami Jun replied immediately. "It's been a while. I missed you a lot. This is perfect."

"Eh? Really...?" Asana seemed a little surprised.

"Really." Mogami Jun answered with certainty, leaving no room for doubt on the other side.

"That's great..." Asana breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, see you then—"

Then, the two of them agreed on a time and place to meet and hung up the phone.

================================================

The weekend came quickly, and on that day, Jun Mogami went out after breakfast, took the subway to Ueno Station, and finally arrived at the entrance of the National Museum of Western Art in Ueno Park.

There was still about an hour left before the agreed time, and he arrived early on purpose because he knew that with Asana's personality, she would definitely come as early as possible. So in order not to make Asana, who had come from afar, wait for him, he came first.

Just as he expected, shortly after he arrived at the door, a black car slowly drove over and stopped in the distance.

Then, a young girl got out of the car and walked towards them from a distance with light footsteps.

As the distance got closer, Mogami Jun quickly saw the other person's face - it was indeed Asana!

But... the girl in front of me wearing a light yellow halter dress and sandals...

Is it really Asana?

"Asana?" Jun Mogami greeted subconsciously.

The girl across from him stopped walking after hearing the greeting, and then looked at Jun Mogami, and then her face showed an expression of surprise and joy. "Jun? Why are you here so early?"

It’s really Asana... Jun Mogami blinked and walked towards the other party quickly.

Perhaps because of her strict upbringing as a young lady, although Asana is usually easy-going, she is very careful in her words and deeds, and is very tactful in her actions. She also strongly opposes dressing too frivolously.

But today she was wearing such cool clothes. The huge contrast made Mogami Jun a little stunned for a moment.

But in addition to being stunned, he felt more shocked.

The Asana in front of him, although the face was still the same, seemed like a different person. The slender white arms, and the large patches of dazzling white skin on the shoulders and neck were so eye-catching. The calves under the skirt were also slender and white. He could even be sure that Asana's toes were painted with oil.

Oh no, this is too shocking... Jun Mogami hastily looked away, but his mind was like a camera, and the image of Asana at this moment was deeply imprinted in his mind.

"Why do you have this expression? Doesn't it look good?" Asana asked nervously.

"No, it's very beautiful. Too beautiful!" Mogami Jun replied quickly, "It's just that it's a little different from your usual self, so I was a little surprised."

"I sometimes try different styles..." Asana blushed slightly and answered with her head down.

This is the outfit that my sisters spent a lot of time carefully selecting. Seeing how good the result is, everyone’s hard work has not been in vain.

Mogami Jun looked at her a few more times, and after getting over his initial surprise and shock, he got used to Asana's new look. He had to admit that she was really cute.

Perhaps because she felt his gaze, Asana never raised her head. It was not until a moment later that Mogami Jun realized that he was too rude.

"Well, since we're already here, why don't we just go in early?" He coughed dryly and turned the subject back to the main topic.

The National Museum of Western Art in the distance stood majestically in front of them. This building, which looked square and angular from the outside, was waiting for them to enter.

"Yeah! Okay!" Asana nodded slightly.

Then, the two of them took steps together and walked towards the gate.

"By the way, Asana, why did you suddenly remember to come and see the art exhibition? Is there any special exhibition today?" asked Mogami Jun.

"Today, a special exhibition of famous Japanese artists is being held." Asana finally raised her head and answered Mogami Jun, "Originally, the museum invited my parents to participate in the exhibition as famous collectors, but my mother refused to attend, so I told my father that I might as well come... Then I thought, why not invite you to come and take a look, so... That's how it happened."

"Is your mother still angry with you?" asked Jun Mogami worriedly.

"She has such a stubborn personality, how could she forgive me so quickly?" Asana's expression became a little bitter, but soon returned to normal. "But she didn't want to come here, not for this reason, but for a more important reason - she hates it here."

"Huh?" Mogami Jun was a little confused.

However, after carefully searching the memories in his mind, he suddenly realized.

"It's for the collections of the Matsukata family's ancestors, right?"

He had previously investigated the Matsukata family and learned about the deeds of the great collector Matsukata Kojiro.
