Chapter 414 The truth comes out, everyone...
Everyone was shocked to see Karasuma Renya reveal his true form! He was over a hundred years old! How could he have rejuvenated? Could it be that... this old man had unknowingly succeeded in his research on immortality?
Li Muyang curled his lip in disdain. Don't be fooled by the fact that this old man came out of the secret door. In fact, his original body was not in this manor at all. He was forced to teleport here after Li Muyang exposed his identity.
Karasuma Renya was also afraid that Li Muyang would really lose his temper!
"That's more like it." Li Muyang clapped his hands and said, "To make a long story short, the Miyano sisters are working for me now, so I'm protecting the Miyano family! You handle it!"
Karasuma Renya readily agreed: "Okay, I will cancel the pursuit of Sherry and her sister."
"But..." the topic shifted.
Li Muyang looked at Wu Wanrenye without changing his expression, leaving her unable to guess his thoughts, and she could only continue speaking:
"As you probably know, I don't have much control over the organization right now. Even if I issue the order to cancel the pursuit, I'm afraid there might be others within the organization who would disobey orders."
Li Muyang nodded: "Yes, I know."
"That's why I called everyone here." Li Muyang silently looked around at the crowd.
Everyone fell silent.
Only then did Shiho Miyano realize something, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on Li Muyang's arm. Even though her fear of the brewery had been cured, a sense of sorrow and bitterness still rose in her heart.
So, the entire game was played by the opposing team??
Thinking back on some of my past actions, and the things I inadvertently revealed... damn it! I wish I could slap myself a few times!
She finally understood that if it weren't for Li Muyang, all her efforts to hide her identity would have been in vain!
Although Conan, the elementary school student known as the Grim Reaper, is sometimes overly wary of the Black Organization, regardless of his behavior, he never hesitates to express his vigilance towards the organization, fearing that his identity might be accidentally exposed.
In retrospect, it wasn't unnecessary at all!
Gin has long forgotten about the great detective... Haha, maybe Gin has forgotten, but the others haven't!
The circle of high-ranking officials in Japan isn't that big, but it's not small either! After all these years, these people know each other inside and out! Who doesn't know what kind of background everyone is?
Karasuma Renya remained outwardly unchanged, but inwardly he was secretly delighted! "You bunch of ungrateful wretches! Hahahaha! You thought you could just sit back and watch the tigers fight? Don't you think he's too naive?"
Li Muyang continued to explain leisurely to Zhibao: "Don't worry, the girls you deal with are basically not insiders. Those who have connections with the distillery are all these old guys and the people in charge."
Upon hearing this, the girls who hadn't yet come to their senses finally reacted and looked at their own people in disbelief, including Erii!
Erii: "..."
She was completely stunned! Genjiro was connected to the brewery?!
Yuan Zhisheng hurriedly swore to the heavens: "Wait! Is it me who has a connection with this organization? It's Yuan Zhisheng! I swear!"
"I never expected my brother to betray me like this!" Yuan Zhinü stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "What? You're trying to drag me into this to divert Erii's hatred?" She hurriedly explained, "Erii, don't listen to your brother's nonsense! Yes! It's true that I'm the one contacting this organization! But I had no idea about it before I returned to the family! It was only after I came back that he entrusted me with handling the matter of contacting this organization!"
"I've been framed!" Yuan Zhinu shouted righteously! He was just someone pushed out to take the blame!
Yuan Zhisheng wanted to say something, but he was speechless.
He had originally intended to say that before this, Genji had already been connected with this organization, so after returning to the family, he handed it over to Genji to manage.
But then I thought about it again, and realized it wasn't necessary!
Erii didn't say anything more, but her expression clearly turned cold. She silently walked up to Shiho Miyano and said, "I'm sorry, this was my oversight..."
"...It's nothing." What else could Shiho Miyano say? She could only admit that she hadn't been vigilant enough! It was because of Li Muyang that she mistakenly thought his friends were trustworthy, and even so, she hadn't revealed her true identity. But now it seemed that whether she had been exposed or not was probably only unknown to the parties involved. Who knew they were all undercover agents... Something didn't seem right?
Ahem, anyway, feeling like they'd been used by their families, all the girls were quite angry, and the heads of the families were also a bit embarrassed, ahem... it's a long story!
The only one who wasn't angry was probably Kido Saori. She had originally wanted to put on an act, but Poseidon saw through her: "Niece, who are you pretending to be with? We're all in this together!"
Saori Kido (??w??): "Hehe!"
Shiho Miyano is too tired to talk anymore, damn it!
I finally felt a spark! And you guys made me lose so completely!
Li Muyang silently handed over a clown mask. "Do you need one? You seem to fit the look perfectly."
Shiho Miyano silently took the mask, then *thud!* slammed it to the ground! Like throwing salt!
“Then I’ll continue,” Li Muyang said leisurely.
Shiho Miyano's expression finally changed again: "Don't tell me... that even Seiran Urashi has a problem!"
Li Muyang's lips twitched: "So clever..."
Seeing that Shiho Miyano had let go of his hand and was about to go home, Li Muyang hurriedly shouted, "Wait, wait, wait! Let me finish! There's something wrong with Qinglan Pusi! But she's not from the brewery! She's from another organization! I call it the Zoo! Everyone there uses animal names as code names!"
Shiho Miyano's eyes widened, but she calmly retorted, "Isn't it the same? What's the difference?"
Li Muyang shrugged: "Of course there's a difference! At least she hasn't done anything to wrong you! Besides, her organization is loosely managed, more like an employment arrangement, so it's really fine for her to get close to you!"
This relieved Shiho Miyano. Thankfully, she wasn't so blind that she couldn't recognize anything!
Seeing that Shiho Miyano had calmed down, the group breathed a sigh of relief. If she had really driven them away, things would have been much more complicated today! Perhaps Erii's side could be a little more relaxed because she was close to Li Muyang. The rest of them would all be held accountable!
Actually, the people present were all people Li Muyang wanted to test after returning from the higher-dimensional space to see how far he could use the power of spacetime. It was an accidental discovery, and wow, they were all villains!
With this setup, what can't you do in Japan?
Moreover, they can switch seamlessly between black and white at will! No wonder the Japanese police and the US federal police have had difficulty investigating them! It's all under the nose!
To be honest, anyone can understand. Even the four main gods over there could be considered to have nothing better to do. The Olympian gods were originally a bunch of fun-loving gods, so it's normal for them to have something to do with the brewery in order to have fun.
The fact that even Senzaemon Nakiri was connected to the sake brewery was utterly unbelievable to Li Muyang! It was truly mind-blowing!
Because this old man used to be surnamed Liu.
Yes, he wasn't originally from Japan; he was from the Liu family of Daxia, a descendant of the young master.
This isn't the first time I've seen this setting; it's quite normal. Many fanfictions have this setting, yeah!
"Ahem... Back then, due to some family matters, I came to Japan to develop my career, and I received help from the head of the Karasuma family at the time." Senzaemon Nakiri explained somewhat awkwardly, "But I can swear to our ancestor! I have absolutely never done anything against the family precepts or anything that goes against my conscience!"
Even Karasuma Renya spoke up for Nakiri Senzaemon: "I admit that he did receive my help, but Totsuki Culinary Arts was developed on its own and has nothing to do with the organization. We only exchanged information occasionally."
"Alright, let's leave it at that." Li Muyang closed his eyes and waved his hand. Continuing to pursue this issue would only lead to endless trouble! He came to solve problems, not to dig deeper into this bottomless pit!
Whether it's true or not is irrelevant. No matter how much they try to shirk responsibility, it won't change the fact that they are actually connected to the brewery! Moreover, they secretly investigated Ai's true identity, and even knowing this, they still allowed their girl to continue having in-depth conversations with Ai.
It's actually a double-edged sword. With Li Muyang's existence, it's already worth it for them to do this! It's always been this way since ancient times!
Seeing that Li Muyang was not going to pursue the matter further, everyone obediently shut up. In fact, it was their fault for doing something wrong, but no one could guarantee that Li Muyang would not take his anger out on the Miyano sisters in order to protect their feelings after he found out about this!
Then naturally it would be better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.
"I just want to tell you that while you shouldn't have the heart to harm others, you can't be without the heart to guard against them. This applies to everyone," Li Muyang said leisurely to Miyano Shiho. "Sometimes, other people's intentions aren't necessarily in your best interest! You can't guarantee that they don't have other motives! It's always good to be cautious!"
Shiho Miyano sighed with a wry smile, then asked with a melancholy expression, "And what about you?"
"Me?" Li Muyang smiled slightly. "I'm even wary of your sister! What do you think? Your sister knows it too! It's a necessary understanding, and a necessary precaution!"
"Girl, you've been sitting in the lab for too long. You're not suited to dealing with people. It's not that you have low emotional intelligence, but that you don't understand human relationships well enough! Where do you get so many clear-cut right and wrong? This world isn't just black and white! It's mostly a blurry gray!"
"Alright, alright! I got it." Shiho Miyano waved her hand helplessly. "I'm not that petty, I'm just a little disappointed in myself. I didn't expect to have such a big flaw!"
"Let's get down to business! Hurry up!"
Li Muyang shrugged, offering no further comfort, believing she would figure it out herself.
"I'll leave the Miyano family's affairs to you all." Li Muyang looked around at the family heads and said in a dignified tone, "Of course I won't let you work for nothing. So, you can all get involved in the virtual game console business. It would be difficult for me to run such a big business on my own."
"It is! It is!"
"That's exactly right!"
