Yukinoshita Haruno fell silent. At this point, how could she not know what the bespectacled man had just said?

What goddaughter... He wants to capture both mother and daughter and take them back to be star slaves!

"Really... you underestimated the Yukinoshita family! You're going too far!"

Yukinoshita Haruno blurted out subconsciously: "Why don't you report..."

Before she could even finish her words, she realized how childish her question was. She shook her head in self-mockery. It seemed like when it came to difficult problems, she and Yukino were no different.

Everyone wants to solve problems with the help of higher-level forces and the help of others.

Given the status of the Yukinoshita family, it would be naive and ridiculous to expect the police to step in and solve the problem.

To ensure normal operation, the Yukinoshita family's construction company had some shady dealings going on. Haruno was aware of all this but chose to turn a blind eye. On a daily basis, the police were often called in to handle these shady disputes.

Ultimately, at their level, they're used to manipulating those below them to create and solve problems, leaving little room for the police to maneuver. They're the ones making the rules, so how can they expect them to protect them?

The adult world is cruel.

"You mean the police?" Yukinoshita Hisako pointed toward the gate. "The convoy at the gate just now was occupied by a police inspector who has always had business dealings with our Yukinoshita family. He's only just arrived in Chiba... What kind of police officers in Tokyo are there to support him?"

"Let alone a hundred missing persons cases related to them, even if there were more, they would just be treated as ordinary missing persons cases."

"This is truly... horribly bad."

Yukinoshita Haruno fell silent: "It's not too late now. Sell your family property and go to America."

"Haha..." Yukinoshita Hisako smiled miserably, "Hirano, the efforts of several generations of the Yukinoshita family are about to be destroyed in our hands, and destroyed without any chance of fighting back. For people like us, the destruction of a family is more terrifying than death itself."

"We are a prominent family here, but in the United States, we are just ordinary people with a little money."

"But he's still rich, isn't he?"

Yukinoshita Haruno sighed and waved her hand: "I will find a suitable buyer for the company's shares, but at this point, I'm afraid the price will be very low. If things reach a point of no return, our family will have to leave Japan. Japan is really rotten right now."

"Buyers?" Yukinoshita Hisako shook her head. "At this point, I'm afraid there won't even be any buyers. The only ones left will be outright robbers."

The mother and daughter looked at each other in silence, both knowing full well their current predicament.

Either the mother and daughter, no, perhaps all three, would throw themselves into the arms of that scumbag, thereby preserving the power of the Yukinoshita family, or even taking it to the next level. Or, they would sell off their assets at a very low price and leave Japan in disgrace.

With the power of the Yukinoshita family, there is no chance of a third scenario...

On one side stood the wealthy locals of the "countryside," and on the other, a cult rising from the economic and political center, adapting to the trend of the times. Even the once seemingly unbreakable alliance had shifted to the other side, leaving the Yukinoshita family with nowhere to go.

But even so, the mother and daughter never considered the first scenario. A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated. Although they were not scholars, they were accustomed to the position of the powerful and aristocratic class, and there was no way they would kneel down.

Yukinoshita Haruno sat on the sofa, feeling a little confused for a moment.

Ever since she entered university, she had been determined to dedicate everything to her family, determined not to let her sister become like her. After graduation, she took on various social functions and future political and business responsibilities for the Yukinoshita family, and has been working hard ever since.

But all the efforts, all the burning ideals, were extinguished by this conversation today.

Cool to the core.

All efforts are in vain. Just because of the threat from the enemy, all long-term efforts have to be sold at a very low price.

'This is really...' Yukinoshita Haruno clenched her fists unwillingly, then loosened them weakly.

He rubbed his temples helplessly. However, this situation wasn't hopeless. The only way out was for him, Yukino, or even his mother to find a suitable family to marry into, bringing home a peerless powerhouse who could suppress all evildoers...

There are many people who meet this condition, from the top down, such as the Commander-in-Chief of US Forces in Japan, etc. But, without exception, these people only do a better job than the cult leader on the surface. Who can say for sure what darkness they are in private?

Ultimately, a marriage of convenience without a foundation of affection only works when things are going your way. When things are going your way, neither beauty nor former influence will matter. Don't treat the rich and powerful as fools. By leveraging the limits of beauty achievable by humans and technology, you won't blind the powerful.

"So be it."

Yukinoshita Hisako waved her hand and said, "Don't tell Yukino about this for now."

She smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I have always wanted to let Xue Noi get out of the fairy tale fantasy, but I didn't expect that now, Xue Noi who is addicted to that fantasy is the luckiest one."

"I'll go see her." Yang No stood up and said expressionlessly, "By the way, tell her that she doesn't need to go back to the Yukinoshita mansion. She might be safer living alone now than staying at home. When we move again, it's time to leave Japan."

...

...

When Yukinoshita Haruno arrived at Yukino's apartment, it was around 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening.

I knocked on the door, but there was no response.

Yang No raised an eyebrow. It was impossible for Yukino to be asleep at this hour, nor was she taking a shower. She could see the light in the room through the crack in the door... But why wasn't the door open?!

"Could it be..."

Yang Nai was a little panicked, and quickly took out the spare key from under the carpet at the door, inserted it into the keyhole, turned it, and pushed the door open.

I saw...

Yukinoshita Yukino was lying on the sofa, her brows furrowed, sweating profusely, and her expression ferocious as if she was enduring some unspeakable pain.

"Are you asleep? Having a nightmare?"

Yang No was a little unsure. She remembered that Yukino's menstrual period would not be at this time, so this reaction could only be a nightmare.

"Really? You can't even live independently like this." Yang No was both angry and amused. She didn't expect that her sudden attack would reveal such an immature side of Yukino.

She walked over and caressed Yukino's hair lovingly. She carried her like a princess to the soft bed, tucked her under the covers, and quietly left her sister's room.

I went to the restaurant, poured myself a cup of hot water, and then collapsed on the sofa, feeling exhausted.

"Huh..." She tugged at her collar, a little melancholy: "Sometimes, I really envy you, Yukino."

"What are you thinking about as you fall asleep on this sofa?"

Yang Nai subconsciously lowered her head and looked at the densely packed information on the desk: "Huh? What is this?"

She picked up one and looked at it, and found that it was a news report that a prisoner had died of a heart attack.

"When did Yukino start caring about this kind of thing?" Yangno muttered, and picked up the second piece of news, which was still about the prisoner dying of a heart attack.

then.

The third...

The fourth...

Yang No suddenly remembered what she had mentioned to Yukino.

Volume 1: 62 I Want to Become a Partner of Justice (6K)

It is well known that most of the prisoners who died at Kira's hands died of heart failure.

"Why does Yukino care so much about Kira's affairs?"

Yukinoshita Haruno frowned as she flipped through the posted information sheets one by one until she came to a blank page. Instead of the detailed reports, there was only a simple name.

【Yamiyue】

Yang Nai picked up the paper and looked at it carefully, but could not see anything unusual.

Given Yukino's personality, why would she put a piece of paper with a boy's name on it among a bunch of cases about heart paralysis?

Who is he?

Haruno searched her memory. She had personally arranged Yukino's admission. She knew the class composition well, and there wasn't a boy named Light Yagami among them.

But why does the surname Ye Shen look familiar?

Yang No pulled out his phone and instinctively searched for the name Yagami. The first line that popped up was a report about the assassination of Yagami Tsuki Soichiro. Even after ten years, this explosive news was still etched in people's memories.

Yang No remembered why he felt familiar with the form of Yagami. Yagami Soichiro was praised by his mother as a rare good official, but good officials were not rewarded. He was attacked by a criminal in an alley.

Light Yagami, Soichiro Yagami...

Is there any connection?

Yukinoshita Haruno's fingers kept sliding down the screen, automatically filtering out the titles of those marketing accounts, such as "Reflecting on the case of Inspector Yagami, where is the taxpayer's money spent?" and "Education starts from an early age" and other irrelevant and meaningless reports.

My eyes stopped at a title——

[Evil will be punished! The prisoner who killed Yashin Police Inspector: Nakagawa Tomomasa, was found dead in prison.]

The report received little attention. After all, four or five years had passed since the trial and the death sentence, and even the most popular case would have died down. The media were all hyenas, so why would they bother to focus on a case that had already died down? Yang Nai searched through all the relevant reports and found only this one, which contained very little information.

After patiently and greedily reading word by word, Yang Nai breathed a sigh of relief.

To sum up, there are only a few key pieces of information:

[Died in a solitary cell], [No signs of fighting or poisoning]

A few years ago, Japan's forensic medicine system wasn't well-developed, so there wasn't much attention paid to this type of death row inmate. If it weren't for the fact that the inmate was a special criminal who had killed the Metropolitan Police Inspector, there probably wouldn't even be an autopsy, let alone a detailed cause of death examination.

But the mere presence of "no signs of fighting or poisoning" was enough to make Haruno think of many things. Although no signs of fighting or poisoning ≠ heart failure, if we assume this, what if it was Kira who did it?

Who is Kira?

Judging from Haruno's perspective, she was undoubtedly a vain, madman who wanted to be a messenger of justice, similar to Yukino. She didn't have the self-interest that adults should have, so logically, she wouldn't be concerned about a case involving a high-ranking official.

Take a look at the case reports that Xueno intercepted! Each of the above is a sinner who has committed unforgivable crimes and extended his murderous hands to ordinary people at the bottom of society.

But why did Kira kill Nakagawa Tomomasa? Because he killed the children of the Yagami family?

Clues were generated and connected in Yukinoshita Haruno's mind, and suddenly an extremely bold idea emerged in Haruno's mind.

If...she meant if.

What if Kira is the orphan of the Yagami family from the Yagami Soichiro incident? For example, the boy named Yagami Light mentioned by Yukino.

It all connects together!

Because his loved ones were killed, he fell into the "Yakuza" and awakened his superpowers, using his own private punishment to constantly punish the damned criminals... This is a perfect script.

"So... are there really such coincidences in the world?"

Yang Nai slapped her face hard, forcing herself to calm down. But she couldn't help but daydream...

She is different from Yukino.

She did not reject Kira's existence.

Although I scoff at Kira's playful, righteous ways, and deep down, I think he's just a childish fellow, when I first saw news about him, I imagined what I could do if I had Kira's power to kill anyone I wanted...

Finally, Yang No came to a conclusion.

She would be even more explicit and extreme than Kira.

Such ability is too wasteful in Kira's hands.

However, killing those criminals was simply a matter of whim, a matter of chance. Perhaps he'd just casually kill someone after work while checking the news. If such a power fell into Yang No's hands, he'd probably use it to repeatedly kill his competitors.

As the head of a real estate company, Yang No had seen too much of the ugliness of the adult world. The blood of those people was far greater than the number of criminals Kira had executed. Each of them deserved to die a thousand times over.

In comparison, the Yukinoshita family is only stained with some gray, and is comparable to a white lotus.

But Kira couldn't see these scum hiding in the dark corners. If he could do it himself, kill these guys... not only would he prove justice, but he could also allow the Yukinoshita family to grow bigger and stronger without any obstacles, and reach new heights.

This is such a beautiful thing~

That's why Yang No didn't have any resistance to Kira at all.

She wanted to take over Kira's trial work immediately, carry out a major cleansing of this terrible Japan, and restore justice to Japan.

What rule of law work, what change from within... If Haruno knew what Yukino was thinking, she would definitely sneer at it and say it was nonsense.

Rather, those with Yukino's awareness are a minority. Those with Haruno's mindset make up the vast majority of Japan. Better to kill someone wrongly than to let him go. This is the philosophy that is more applicable to Japan today.

When the effect of dopamine faded, the heat in Yang Nai's heart gradually subsided.

After all, Kira is still just a character similar to an urban legend, and I don’t know how far away I am from him... But now, I have a clue.

Yang No stared at the white paper with Light Yagami's name written on it in her hand, stunned.

"Kira, could it be Light Yagami?"

She searched for terms related to Light Yagami in the search software, but found nothing.

Yang No touched his chin: "If this character is not found by search software, then Yukino's channels for getting the name Yagami Light will become less..."

"Considering his status as an orphan, after all these years, Light Yagami should be in high school now?"

High school student?!

Is he at Sobu High School?!

Yes... With Yukino's somewhat "homebody" personality, she probably won't have any contact with people outside the school. In other words, Light Yagami is most likely a student of Sobu High School.
