Chapter 379 The Sonozaki Sisters Tearing Each Other Apart: Narumi and His Daughter Meet - A Sweet Mixture

Sonozaki Ryubei stared at Sonozaki Saeko with a meaningful look.

Although he knew that his daughter had her own agenda, he did not expect that Sonozaki Saeko could quietly establish a connection with the X Group.

It seems he underestimated his eldest daughter's abilities.

Or rather, charm?

"Father, you're too kind. That gentleman probably only accepted my invitation because of you," Saeko Sonozaki said with a sweet smile, remaining modest.

"Haha." Sonozaki Ryubei laughed and said, "Since that sir is coming, we should make proper preparations and invite all the famous pastry chefs in Fuuto."

"Father, should we get rid of that ordinary hybrid that has infiltrated our house?" Saeko Sonozaki asked.

"Ignore it," Sonozaki Ryubei said dismissively.

"I understand." Saeko Sonozaki nodded, got up and left the living room.

"What an insensible child," Sonozaki Ryubei shook his head as he watched Sonozaki Saeko's departing figure.

Although it's unclear what kind of collaboration Saeko Sonozaki and Foundation X have reached, but...

Foundation X is not a charitable organization.

He only hoped that his foolish eldest daughter wouldn't be taken advantage of by that devilish man.

……

The Sonozaki family.

Shen Yun, accompanied by A2 and Narumi Shokichi, arrived at the Sonozaki residence for their appointment.

Sonozaki Ryubei personally came to the manor gate to welcome Shen Yun and his party.

"Ryubei-san, I've come to bother you again." Shen Yun smiled as he looked at Sonozaki Ryubei who came to greet him.

"Hahaha." Sonozaki Ryubei laughed heartily and said, "How could that be? I'd be more than happy to welcome you."

As they were talking, Sonozaki Ryubei suddenly noticed Narumi Shokichi following behind Shen Yun, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

"Who is this?"

"It's Narumi Shokichi, as you know. He's now a senior executive in our X Group, and he's also my trump card against W," Shen Yun said with a slight smile.

"I see..." Sonozaki Ryubei nodded, her eyes behind her sunglasses filled with apprehension.

However, in the next moment, Sonozaki Ryubei recovered and said with a smile, "Let's go in first."

"Alright."

The two chatted and laughed as they arrived at the banquet hall of the Sonozaki family's house.

The banquet hall was now filled with tables and chairs.

"What's this?" Shen Yun asked, feigning ignorance as he looked at the dining table and chairs placed on either side.

"This is a special design; something interesting might happen later," Ryubei Sonozaki said with a smile.

"Oh? Is that so? Then I'll look forward to it," Shen Yun said with a smile.

"Please take your seats, everyone. The desserts and black tea should be almost ready," said Ryuhei Sonozaki.

Shen Yun didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly to the right of Sonozaki Ryubei.

As the head of the Sonozaki family, Ryubei Sonozaki should naturally sit in the main seat. How could a guest like him usurp the host's place?

A2 and Narumi Shoki also sat down next to Shen Yun.

Shen Yun had just sat down when Sonosaki Saeko, now dressed in a formal gown and with light makeup, descended the stairs of the banquet hall. She gracefully approached Shen Yun and smiled, saying, "I'm truly delighted that you accepted my invitation, sir."

"Oh? How happy are you?" Shen Yun asked with a playful smile.

Saeko Sonozaki was taken aback at first, but quickly recovered and boldly sat on Shen Yun's lap, wrapping her fair arms around his neck, and said with a soft moan, "Hmm, does Master really want to know?"

At this moment, the youthful and beautiful Sonosaki Wakana walked into the banquet hall from outside. After seeing Sonosaki Saeko sitting on Shen Yun's lap, she clicked her tongue in displeasure.

"Tsk."

"Looks like I've come at the wrong time." Wakana Sonozaki, a sweet smile on her face, walked to the other side of the table, put down her bag, sat down, crossed her hands to support her chin, and looked at Shen Yun with a bright smile, saying, "In a while, will I be calling you brother-in-law?"

Saeko Sonozaki stood up from Shen Yun without changing her expression and said, "Wakana, my affairs are none of your business."

"Tsk." Sonozaki Wakana tilted her head and clicked her tongue discreetly, then turned back with a bright smile and said, "So that means it's not true? Then why don't you consider me? I'm much younger and cuter than an old woman like Onee-chan."

Sonozaki Wakana deliberately emphasized the word "young".

"..." Shen Yun did not reply, but just smiled and watched the two sisters tear each other apart.

Brilliant, brilliant, absolutely brilliant! (Chow Yun-fat smiles and applauds.JPG)

"Wakana! You better be more presentable!" Saeko Sonozaki slammed her hand on the table, her beautiful eyes fixed on Wakana Sonozaki, and said in an unfriendly tone.

Seeing Sonozaki Saeko's reaction, Sonozaki Wakana, who originally just wanted to annoy her older sister, suddenly had a change in mindset.

Oh? She values ​​it that much? If she could snatch this man away from her sister…

Tsk tsk.

Just imagining my sister's helpless rage is enough to bring me joy.

"Onee-chan, aren't you being a bit too domineering? You won't even give me a chance to compete fairly? I like Mr. too." Sonozaki Wakana immediately put on a wronged expression and said with a tea-like tone.

"You!" Saeko Sonozaki was furious, her chest heaving slightly, clearly angered by Wakana Sonozaki.

"Enough! What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket!" Sonozaki Ryubei walked in, looking at Sonozaki Saeko and Sonozaki Wakana with a gloomy expression, and scolded them.

Seeing that Ryūhei Sonozaki was angry, Saeko Sonozaki and Wakana Sonozaki both shut up and stopped arguing.

"Oh! I'm sorry you had to see this." Sonozaki Ryubei sat down in the main seat and sighed.

"Every family has its own troubles," Shen Yun said with a smile.

"That makes sense." Sonozaki Ryubei laughed and said, "Come in, everyone."

As soon as Sonozaki Ryubei finished speaking, the maids of the Sonozaki family pushed in a food cart and distributed the tableware and desserts on the cart to each seat.

Next, the chefs and servants of the Sonozaki family filed in and entered the banquet hall.

After the maids distributed the desserts, they came to the table and poured everyone a cup of fine black tea.

After doing all this, the maids gave a slight bow and returned to their seats.

Outside the window, Shotaro hid and secretly watched what was happening inside.

When Shotaro's gaze swept over Narumi Shokichi's back, he was slightly taken aback.

This person's back view looks so similar to Ou Yasang's...

But O'Ya-Sang has already, already...

Shotaro's eyes dimmed; the night of beginnings was a pain that would forever remain in his heart.

He killed Ou Yasan...

If he had listened to him, wouldn't Ou Yasan have survived?

Shotaro leaned against the wall and slapped his cheeks hard to try and stop thinking about Ou Yasan.

He has more important things to do now, which is to protect Ouyasang's daughter.

After seeing the maids return to their seats, Sonozaki Ryubei stood up and said, "Well then, everyone. Today we have a special treat for you. Please feel free to enjoy it. Whether you're family or servants, let's all enjoy this ultimate delicacy together."

After saying that, Sonozaki Ryubei sat down.

"So, even the chef and maids are included?" Saeko Sonozaki asked, puzzled.

"That's right. And it seems like something interesting is going to happen," Sonozaki Ryubei said with a smile.

After Sonozaki Ryubei sat down, the chefs and servants present also sat down and enjoyed the desserts in front of them.

"Clang!"

At that moment, the door on the second floor of the banquet hall suddenly opened, and Akiko Narumi, dressed as a maid and holding a mop, appeared in front of everyone.

"Miss Narumi?!" The head maid sitting to the side stood up in disbelief when she saw Akiko Narumi.

"What, it's you again? You mere maid, aren't you being too presumptuous?" Sonozaki Saeko frowned slightly and looked at Narumi Akiko coldly.

Sonozaki Ryubei turned around and looked at Narumi Akiko, who was standing on the second floor.

After hearing the head maid's words, Narumi Shokichi also looked up at Narumi Akiko.

However, upon seeing Akiko Narumi, he felt a sense of familiarity and warmth.

Why is that?

"I'm not just a maid!" Akiko Narumi turned to Saeko Sonozaki and retorted.

"ha?"

Akiko Narumi grabbed the hem of her maid outfit, ripped it off, and threw it downstairs.

"Huh?!" Shotaro, who was outside the banquet hall, saw this scene and his expression changed instantly. He almost cried out in surprise.

However, Shotaro quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly covered his mouth.

Narumi Akiko, having removed her maid outfit, revealed her detective attire beneath, and said with a smile, "The beautiful maid was just a disguise. My true identity is the famous detective, Narumi Akiko! The culprit in the series of kidnappings is among you."

Seeing Akiko Narumi's reckless behavior, Shotaro Hidari, who was spying outside, covered his face in despair.

"That guy still went off to fool around."

"Narumi Akiko?" Narumi Shokichi fell into deep thought.

This name sounds so familiar and warm; I feel like I've heard it somewhere before. But where exactly?

"dad……"

Suddenly, a fragment of memory flashed through Narumi Shokichi's mind.

"Dad? I have a daughter?" Narumi Shokichi was even more confused.

"Shouji, are you alright?" Shen Yun asked, glancing at Narumi Shouji who was covering his head.

"I'm fine." Narumi Shokichi shook his head.

"It's good that you're alright." Shen Yun smiled and nodded, continuing to watch the farce unfold before him.

"Then, who is the culprit?" At this moment, a bespectacled maid suddenly stood up and asked.

"Let me reveal the answer to you," Akiko Narumi said confidently as she walked down the stairs.

"The real culprit is you, Miss Shirotsuka!" Akiko Narumi pointed to a plump maid and said.

"Me?! That kind of thing, how could it be! No, it wasn't me!" The chubby maid known as Shirozuka also stood up in surprise, defending herself.

"That's what all the prisoners say," said Akiko Narumi.

"Don't talk nonsense, where's the evidence?" Shirozuka asked.

"Um, she's round-faced and always eats only snacks, doesn't that seem suspicious?" Akiko Narumi said with a grin, expressing her speculation.

"Isn't this just judging people by their appearance?!" Shirotsuka protested.

"This child is really interesting. Are you really a famous detective?" Sonozaki Wakana laughed heartily.

"My reasoning is this: the culprit is extremely fond of sweets, so in order to catch him, I asked the owner to gather everyone here," Akiko Narumi explained.

"Is this the funny thing Ryubei-san was talking about? It is indeed very funny." Shen Yun couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the farce unfold before him.

Akiko Narumi is as good at creating mischief as ever.

So cute!

"I was hoping this surprise would be related to sweets," said Sonozaki Ryubei, somewhat disappointed.

Akiko Narumi smiled sheepishly and said, "I just made the desserts myself."

"Snap!"

Suddenly, a stack of plates containing snacks was slammed onto the floor, making a crisp sound in the quiet banquet hall.

Everyone present looked in the direction of the sound and saw the bespectacled maid leaning against the wall, constantly scooping out pastries from her mouth with her other hand.

Seeing the maid's behavior, Shen Yun inexplicably thought of a meme.

Nine-turn large intestine.

Did you do it on purpose, or accidentally?

If you don't eat, you won't be able to eliminate me; if you eat, you'll fall into my trap.

Although it's a dessert, for discerning palates, the dessert that Akiko Narumi casually made probably tastes about the same as braised pork intestines.

Meanwhile, Shotaro Sato, who was watching the show from outside, also received a call from Philip.

Shotaro quickly took out his stag beetle phone and answered the call. Philip's voice immediately came through the phone.

"Shotaro, I've figured out who the real culprit is. The person who created that magazine's ranking list is the infiltrator of the serial kidnappings of pastry chefs. The culprit is a writer famous for her food travelogues; 'that exquisitely sweet taste lingering on the tongue' is a phrase she often uses. That writer's name is—Yukiko Sasaki!"

Sasaki Yukiko wiped the corner of her mouth clean and stared at Narumi Akiko with an unfriendly expression.

"Miss Sasaki?!" Akiko Narumi was also puzzled by Yukiko Sasaki's behavior.

"You made me eat this?! You actually let my golden tongue get smeared with that shit-like dessert?! Unforgivable!!!" Sasaki Yukiko glared at Narumi Akiko with a ferocious expression, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"So it was you who took my father?! Give him back to me!" Asakawa Mai said angrily to Sasaki Yukiko.

"Shut up!" Sasaki Yukiko glanced coldly at Asakawa Mai, reached out and took out a dark red ordinary memory chip, and pressed the button on the memory chip.

"Sweet!"

After registering for the dessert memory, Yukiko Sasaki immediately inserted the memory into the connection port on the neck.

Then, a dark red data stream spread from Sasaki Yukiko's neck to her entire body, and the Dessert Memory slowly merged into Sasaki Yukiko's body.

Then, a creamy liquid gushed from Sasaki Yukiko's neck, enveloping her entire body and instantly transforming her into an ugly and grotesque hybrid.

Its bright red head looks like a shrimp's head, while its emerald green body is covered with sharp spines.

Upon seeing the adulterant in the dessert, the chefs and servants present screamed and scattered in all directions.

Only Shen Yun and his family remained calmly seated, sipping their red tea.

As soon as the dessert hybrid appeared, it raised the spray bottle in its left hand and sprayed out a creamy liquid that swept towards Mai Asakawa.

Mai Asakawa's hand was grabbed by a creamy liquid and dragged toward the dessert mixture.

Seeing this, Akiko Narumi quickly grabbed Mai Asakawa's other arm, trying to save her.

Seeing Akiko Narumi in danger, Shoji Narumi felt a little anxious for some reason. He took out his briefcase and was about to take out the Lost Driver from inside.

"Don't rush, it's not your turn to make a move yet," Shen Yun said, reaching out and pressing down on Narumi Shoki's arm.
