The strongest high school student in Japan

After thinking for a moment, Sagihara Shion spoke again. "You are right. There is no conflict of interest between us. I can give you the medicine. But... since I have no power over you, if I really give it to you, how can I ensure that you will not retaliate again? I don't trust you at all."

Sagihara Shion said this on purpose in order to give the other person hope.

Judging from Kurosaki Yoshihiro's performance, if he were to think that I was unwilling to give him the medicine, he would probably go crazy immediately. I no longer have any bargaining chips to restrain him, and I can only make him believe that I am willing to give it to him.

"You can rest assured about this. All I want is that little thing. If I really get it, why would I bother to deal with you at the risk of angering Tonegawa Yukio? I have no love or hate for you, and I don't want to do anything to you." Kurosaki Yoshihiro made a promise immediately. "Of course, you won't believe me if I say this without any reason. So tell me, what conditions do you want for you to believe me?"

Seeing that Sagihara Shion seemed to have given in, Kurosaki Yoshihiro changed his stern look and immediately became gentle and soft, "You can regard this as an opportunity for me to make an offer to you - just say it."

"What did Sakai Koichi ask you for?" Sagihara Shion asked, "I want to take a look at it."

"What he wants is very simple, nothing more than money and guarantee of safety..." Kurosaki Yoshihiro suddenly smiled, "These are also what you need. Since I can give it to him, I can naturally give it to you - how about it? Is it sincere enough?"

"That's not bad..." Sagihara Shion seemed even more shaken.

However, no matter what Kurosaki Yoshihiro said, she could not believe anything he said. She just wanted to delay time and try to make the other party believe that she was willing to cooperate.

"I need to think about it again." After another moment of silence, she spoke again, "Although I believe in your sincerity, the situation has now evolved into a situation that is difficult for me to control. I must consider carefully before making a decision."

"I understand your feelings." Kurosaki Yoshihiro nodded, but immediately changed the subject, "However, my time is very tight, and I can't give you too much time. Give me a reply within 48 hours. If I don't get a reply, then I can only express my deep regret. Well, goodbye--"

"Wait a minute!" Just as Kurosaki Yoshihiro was about to hang up the phone, Sagihara Shion called him.

"Is there anything else?" Kurosaki Yoshihiro was a little surprised and unhappy. After all, it had been a long time since anyone dared to talk to him like this. If he didn't need a favor from the other party, he would have turned against him long ago.

"I have always been curious about one question - why is my father so familiar with the situation in our school? I don't believe that he only found out about it after Sakai Mitsui appeared." Sagihara Shion asked calmly, "So, he must have planned to do something to me a long time ago, right? Is this his personal action, or is it directed by you?"

"Oh, that's quite perceptive." Kurosaki Yoshihiro sneered, "This is your father's personal action. You and I have no grudges against each other, and I have no intention of dealing with you. Even if his hundreds of millions of dollars are in your hands, I have no reason to be tempted. So don't worry, it's his own personal action - it's because he has been privately asking about your situation in school, so he knows more about the school. I gave him this mission by the way, but I didn't expect that he would disappoint my expectations. What an incompetent man!"

"I understand..." Sagihara Shion replied in a low voice.

I do understand.

Although my father went to school just for the purpose of trading, he never forgot to punish himself and take back his money. He never believed what he said.

Therefore, there is no way for me to escape this disaster.

When she thought of this, she gave up the last bit of guilt in her heart.

What happened to her father was his own fault and he deserved it. She would not show any mercy.

"Please don't mention this person in front of me anymore. From now on, I have nothing to do with him - goodbye." Sagihara Shion hung up the phone on her own initiative.

After hanging up the phone, Sagihara Shion looked at the night sky outside the window again.

Everything was so quiet.

She found that her mood was surprisingly calm.

There's really nothing to worry about, that's all.

She never worried about her own safety, but she had one bottom line, which was that she must not let Mogami Jun be in danger because of her.

Now I need to discuss this with him.

Although it's already very late, I can only disturb him for a while.

"I'm sorry, Jun-kun." Sagihara Shion said softly, then picked up the phone again and dialed Mogami Jun's number.

The call was answered quickly.

"Senior, what happened?" Mogami Jun asked with a little confusion.

"Yes, there was a small incident." Sagihara Shion looked out the window calmly, "Just now, I talked to Kurosaki Yoshihiro on the phone."

Although the senior said it calmly, Mogami Jun couldn't help but scream.

"What?! Senior, how are you now? How did he know your contact information?"

"Don't worry about me, Jun-kun..." Sagihara Shion laughed softly, feeling slightly happy about Mogami Jun's reaction. "I'm fine now, just listen to my explanation."

Jun Mogami finally calmed down and listened patiently to Sagihara Shion's explanation.

"I didn't expect that they would come to me so soon. We just discussed it today..." Mogami Jun let out a long sigh and seemed to have a headache.

"It's all your fault for keeping it a secret from me for so long, right?" Sagihara Shion complained, "If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have had so many surprises today."

"Sorry, senpai..." Mogami Jun felt guilty.

"It's okay, Jun-kun, I won't blame you, because I know your feelings." Sagihara Shion immediately softened her tone, "I just hope you can trust me a little more in the future. Only in this way can we face the problem together, right?"

Mogami Jun knew that the senior was still complaining about "ignorant happiness", and he felt guilty about this, so he could only apologize, "Senior, I understand, I won't do this again in the future."

"Well, let's talk about the future later. What should we do now?" Sagihara Shion changed the subject. "I didn't expect him to guess your existence so quickly, so I can only admit that the medicine is in our hands and stabilize him first, but he doesn't give us much time..."

"After all, he is a big shot who was able to climb to that position. It would be strange if he didn't have some skills." Mogami Jun sighed and began to think.

After a moment, he spoke again, "It doesn't really make much sense for us to deceive him now. It doesn't matter to him whether the drugs are in his hands or not. If he goes crazy, he won't care whether he's dealing with you alone or both of us. So, it's better to agree to his terms, so as not to become his mortal enemy for no reason."

Sagihara Shion actually thought so too. After all, she disliked Hyoudou Takako from the very beginning. She was so happy that someone was secretly dealing with her that how could she want to stop it.

If she and Kurosaki Yoshihiro became sworn enemies because of something like this, Hyoudou Takako would probably die of laughter after knowing the whole story...

"So you're willing to give him the medicine?"

"Luckily I left some medicine behind." Mogami Jun was somewhat thankful. "It doesn't matter if I give him some. He only wants these things anyway. He may not care much about whether Sagihara Masao lives or dies."

"But how can we trust him? This kind of person definitely has no moral principles." Sagihara Shion expressed her concerns. "Although we don't want to be his enemy, we have caused him a lot of trouble now after all——"

"So, why not just find a trustworthy middleman—" Jun Mogami suddenly replied.

"Eh? What middleman?" Sagihara Shion was a little surprised.

Jun Mogami knew that it was meaningless to talk about morality when facing a man like Kurosaki Yoshihiro. Only strength could intimidate him, but he and Sagihara Shion did not have such strength now.

If his father or mother were involved, the situation would definitely be different, but he couldn't involve his father or mother, so he had to find another way.

Fortunately, the "path" before him does exist.

There is indeed a middleman who can exist, and he is intimidating enough to intimidate Yoshihiro Kurosaki and prevent him from doing anything wrong.

What's even more interesting is that she also seems to have a problem with Hyoudou Takako...

So, that's her.

313, borrowing land?

When the morning sunlight shone through the blinds onto the head of the bed, Umemiya Xia Fei slowly opened her eyes.

She was in the girls' school dormitory and did not want to disturb her roommate who was still sleeping soundly in the same room, so she just gently pushed away the thin blanket covering her body, got out of bed and put on slippers.

Then, she walked carefully into the bathroom, took off her gauze pajamas, and turned on the shower.

Strings of water droplets rushed onto her fair and smooth skin and then rolled down, dripping onto the ground with a rustling sound, taking away the fatigue that still remained in her body.

Soon, she finished her bath and dried herself carefully with a towel.

Her slightly flushed skin seemed to emit the same fragrance as the flowerbed outside the window, but she had no intention of slowly admiring herself in the mirror. She just quickly put on her girls' school uniform.

By the time she walked back to the dormitory, her roommate had already woken up.

"Xia Fei, good morning!" The other party greeted with a smile, then yawned lazily.

"Good morning." Meigong Xia Fei nodded slightly.

It’s not that she was deliberately cold to her roommate, it’s just that this is her style of interacting with people normally, and everyone is used to her style.

Apart from the fact that each room only had two people living in it, so it appeared quite spacious, the furnishings in the dormitory itself were not much different from those in an ordinary girls' school. Umemiya Natsuhisa put the pajamas she had just changed into the clothes basket, ready to take them to the automatic washing machine downstairs to wash together with her roommate's pajamas.

The Diyuan Girls' School where she studied had a very long history, so it placed great emphasis on rigorous academic style. Even though there were a large number of upper-class girls there, it strictly prohibited students from competing with each other and squandering. In order to cultivate ladies who met the standards of aristocratic families, the furnishings in the dormitories were mainly practical and did not appear luxurious.

Similarly, although she came from a wealthy family, she did not advocate luxury by nature, so she easily adapted to this simple life.

However, there is only one living habit that makes her different from other students in ordinary girls' schools.

She opened her locker and took out her treasured bone china tea set. She put the black tea into the cup and then gently poured the boiling water into the cup.

The water level gradually rose, submerging the tea leaves, until it finally reached the middle of the cup. Mei Gong Xia Fei put down the kettle and waited quietly for a while.

Then, she poured milk into the teacup and watched patiently as the tea turned into her favorite light red color.

She gently placed the spoon into the quilt and stirred it carefully. When she felt it was right, she picked up the teacup and slowly brought it to her lips.

The rich aroma rushed into her nose along with the rising steam. She took a breath of enjoyment and then took a sip of the fruits of her morning labor.

The boiling hot tea slowly flowed over her tongue, bringing with it a refreshing and comfortable feeling that made her feel relaxed and happy. She couldn't help but close her eyes slightly.

She had no idea how many mornings like this she had gone through, always on time and everything was so regular.

And these rules contain the rare joy in her life.

This is the most leisurely moment of her day. She doesn't have to think about her family, her classmates, or anything else. She can just live for herself, and she cherishes this enjoyment very much.

A happy day always starts from this time.

However, things in the world are always not as planned. Before she could start the second sip, a sudden phone call interrupted her most enjoyable experience of the day.

When she heard the cell phone ringing, Meigong Xia Fei couldn't help but frown.

She wanted to pretend she didn't hear it, but she only gave her cell phone number to people she cared about, so she couldn't just turn a blind eye to it.

She wanted to take a sip of tea before talking, but she couldn't drink it.

My mood has been ruined and I no longer have the leisurely and comfortable feeling I had just now.

She sighed, put down the teacup reluctantly, then walked to the bedside with anger, picked up her mobile phone and looked at the caller ID.

In an instant, surprise made her almost forget her anger.

"Jun Mogami? You actually called me?" She answered the phone with uncontrollable surprise, and then asked directly, "What's the matter?"

"I'm really sorry to disturb you by calling you so early, Umemiya-senpai. I had to choose this time to avoid disturbing your class..." Of course, Mogami Jun didn't know that he had committed a heinous crime, but he also knew that it was definitely inappropriate to disturb others at this time, so he apologized first.

"Just tell me what you want to say. What's the point of apologizing now?" Mei Gong Xia Fei was thinking about the tea that was slowly cooling down, so she urged him directly.

"Well, it seems you are quite busy, so I won't be polite." Mogami Jun immediately got to the point, "Senior Umemiya, can I borrow something from you?"

"What is it?" asked Princess Xia of Meigong.

"Your home." Mogami Jun answered in a very calm manner, as if he was just talking about something ordinary.

"what……?"

Princess Umemiya Xia couldn't help but scream out in surprise.

Then there was a brief but suffocating silence on the phone.

Princess Xia of Meigong suddenly felt a little funny. Was it such crazy talk that disturbed her morning tea?

Is this the end of a leisurely day?

The amusement quickly turned into unspeakable anger.

"Did you take the wrong medicine?" Mei Gong Xia Fei almost yelled, "You called me this early in the morning just to play a joke on me? Are you trying to make fun of me?!"

"Of course I'm not kidding—" Mogami Jun laughed bitterly, "Senior, although we haven't interacted much, you should have a basic understanding of me. Do you think I'm a boring person?"

Mei Gong Xia Fei thought about it and thought it made sense, so she suppressed her anger a little.

"So what do you mean?"

"This is a bit of a long story. Do you have time to listen, senior?" Mogami Jun replied with a smile.

"It's already like this, is there any other choice? Speak!" Umemiya Xia Fei replied coldly, "You'd better pray that what you say next can move me, otherwise I will make you regret it, Mogami Jun."

"Well, actually, at the beginning of the story, I want you to confirm a rumor I heard before." Mogami Jun's attitude became serious. "Excuse me, is the Umemiya family really one of the behind-the-scenes coordinators of the large-scale project in the Kanto region?"

"Humph, so what?" Mei Gong Xia Fei replied coldly, "This matter is not really a secret anyway, so it doesn't matter if I admit it."

Although Umemiya Natsuki said it calmly, Mogami Jun truly felt the severity of it.

The Kanto region includes Tokyo, Japan's most prosperous metropolitan area. There are countless large-scale projects in it, hundreds of billions of funds flowing through it, and many forces trying to get a piece of the pie. Those who can act as coordinators between the government, businesses, and lawmakers for a long time have self-evident prestige and power.

"The so-called coordination, to put it bluntly, is to be responsible for the allocation when all parties negotiate and collude in the bidding, right?" Mogami Jun continued, "And the Umemiya House is also the main place for everyone to gather and coordinate."

Mei Gong Xia Fei did not answer immediately.

"Don't worry, I won't record. I'm not a reporter either, and I have no interest in interviewing how your family makes money... I'm just asking." Mogami Jun knew what Umemiya Natsuki was worried about, so he hurried to explain.

"It doesn't matter if I tell you. You're right." Mei Gong Xia Fei finally spoke, "So - you said you wanted to borrow my house because you wanted to coordinate with others? You're so young, are you involved with some construction company and are ready to be a lobbyist? Let me remind you, this business is very complicated and it's not that easy to get into. It's not a place for you kids to play house."

"I have no interest in the construction industry, but I know what it means." Mogami Jun continued to ask very seriously, "In the face of the prestige and power of the Umemiya family, as long as an agreement is reached, no matter whether everyone benefits or loses in the future, they will recognize the agreement. No one dares to risk angering your family and violate the original agreement, right?"

"Of course. To survive in this world, the most important thing is credibility. Once we reach an agreement, anyone who dares to violate it is challenging the dignity and prestige of our Umemiya family. We will definitely use all means to retaliate, otherwise we will not be qualified to sit there anymore—" Umemiya Xia Fei answered bluntly, "So, what exactly do you want to do?"

"I've made it very clear. I want to reach an agreement in your house, and then you can be a witness. Although the other party is very difficult to deal with, I think as long as he has the prestige of the Umemiya family as a guarantee, he will not dare to act rashly after the transaction..." Mogami Jun finally made his intentions clear.
