Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

At this point, everyone lost interest in sightseeing and headed home.

Two days later, on the rooftop of a building, Miyazaki Yu sat cross-legged, enveloped in a faint halo, as if his entire body was wrapped in a layer of luminous bubbles.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Chapter 365 Two People Join the Organization

"Ms. Sayama, it seems you haven't kept your promise to me and have brought other people with you."

The two who had just arrived were startled and hadn't even reacted when a streak of light suddenly appeared in the sky. The light was incredibly fast and arrived in the blink of an eye.

Under their horrified gazes, they finally saw clearly that what had suddenly flown towards them was a long sword, its blade gleaming with a crystalline halo, as if it had special effects.

Before the sword even fell, their sixth senses began to scream in alarm; the feeling of death had never been so close!

Just as the two were about to be pierced by the sword, the sword suddenly stopped, only inches away from them.

The sword exuded an exceptionally sharp aura, causing both of them a sharp, stinging pain even before it reached them. Its sudden stop was like a strongman lifting a large wine barrel weighing hundreds of kilograms and pouring it out.

The enormous barrels and tiny glasses created a striking contrast, but the wine stopped abruptly just as it was about to overflow the glasses.

Although they didn't understand the intricacies, the subtle feeling alone, along with the sudden sword control technique, was enough to make the two of them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"Lord Miyazaki... I!"

Just as Akiko Sayama opened her mouth, a hand gently landed on Satoshi Maeda's shoulder.

"So it's Mr. Maeda. It seems Mr. Maeda already knows something."

In an instant, Maeda Satoshi felt a tremor run through his body, and all his strength vanished after a slight tremor.

"I have no strength left. I can't move at all. My whole body is limp. What happened? Did he do something?"

Although I had prepared myself mentally before coming, everything still exceeded my expectations when I actually faced this great swordsman.

At this moment, Akiko Sayama turned around and noticed that Satoshi Maeda was acting strangely. His whole body was trembling slightly, and his eyes were constantly moving, as if he wanted to express something, but he couldn't even open his mouth.

She used all her strength to try to calm herself down, but she couldn't help but clench her hands tightly, her sharp nails piercing her palms. Only this stinging pain could suppress her fear.

This person is no longer human; he is a god or demon among men, capable of easily controlling the life and death of others. Faced with such a person, neither she nor her boyfriend, the former national karate champion, are anything but ants, utterly powerless to resist.

The fact that he broke his promise and brought Maeda Satoshi along was enough reason for the other party to kill him!

Generally speaking, people who are unpredictable in their moods are the most terrifying, because you never know what will trigger their anger, especially those with formidable strength.

Just like Gin, many people in the Black Organization fear Gin even more than the BOSS, because Gin not only has the power to kill, but is also unpredictable. If something seemingly insignificant or a minor issue fails to satisfy him, the consequences can be severe.

"Mr. Miyazaki, it was my own idea to bring A-Cong along. It was all my fault. I didn't consider your feelings!"

Miyazaki Yu smiled faintly: "I don't care about that. Whether he wanted to come or you brought him, the fact that he's here means he already knows some things he shouldn't know, and that's the key."

Akiko Sayama quickly realized the reason and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, A-Cong has decided to serve Miyazaki alongside me. This is my choice, and it is also his choice. We have absolutely not revealed a single secret of yours, and I swear to that."

Miyazaki Yu smiled silently, just looking at Sayama Akiko with a beaming smile. Time seemed to stand still. Sayama Akiko felt that time was very long. In just a few seconds, it felt like centuries had passed.

When Miyazaki Yu chuckled, it seemed as if all the ice had shattered in an instant.

He then patted Maeda Satoshi on the shoulder, made a sword gesture with his left hand, pointed to the sky, and the Hengyun Duan that was blocking the two of them turned into a stream of light and shot into the sky, disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

Maeda Satoshi coughed, his body regaining its mobility. His face paled, but he still instinctively stood in front of Sayama Akiko.

However, Akiko Sayama pushed him aside. She had finally realized that this young swordsman, who seemed gentle and mild-mannered, was actually domineering and forceful.

In normal circumstances, he would restrain his temper, but when he revealed his dark identity, it was a completely different story.

The order that exists in the darkness places even greater emphasis on hierarchy than the normal order, so she must never let the other party feel uncomfortable.

Miyazaki Yu smiled and said, "Alright, you don't need to do that. Mr. Maeda is only trying to protect you. However, I want to know what happened before deciding whether to let Mr. Maeda join. After all, the nature of someone I invite is different from someone who actively wants to join."

No one could predict his invitation, so those he invited must not have had any ulterior motives, but those who actively wanted to join were a completely different story.

Just like the Black Organization, which was already very well-organized, but was still rife with counterfeit alcohol, he didn't want his newly established private organization to be spied on and discovered by someone, who would then keep an eye on him.

Akiko Sayama nodded and then began to recount what had happened.

Actually, the whole thing is quite simple. Some things can fool anyone, but it's a different story if you want to deceive your spouse, especially someone who knows you very well.

Clearly, Satoshi Maeda was someone who was very familiar with Akiko Sayama's every word and action.

On the first night, he discovered the Dark Night Duke's clothes in Akiko Sayama's luggage, and a premonition arose in his heart.

He didn't point it out, but pretended not to know. He knew that Akiko Sayama was stubborn and that he could stop her for a while, but not forever.

However, things took an unexpected turn. Akiko Sayama did not take any action, and everything was calm. But unexpectedly, the next day, a shark attack occurred.

It was all too coincidental, yet everything was also perfectly linked, a perfect chain of evidence that plunged the already deceased Ehara Tokio into hell.

Only because he harbored doubts did he confront Akiko Sayama after the matter was over. Under his repeated questioning, Akiko Sayama finally decided to tell him, but on one condition: if he knew the truth, he would have to work with her for Miyazaki Yu.

Otherwise, those who know the truth will surely disappear!

Having learned everything, Maeda Satoshi also realized his own predicament. He knew he had no other choice, which led to the current situation.

This answer basically satisfied Miyazaki Yu, or rather, he had expected it long ago. In the original work, Maeda Satoshi had guessed that Sayama Akiko had committed a crime and was willing to exonerate her and take the blame. Sayama Akiko's simple methods could not be kept from him.

Akiko Sayama didn't know that she was just bait for Hayao Miyazaki; the fish he really wanted to catch was Satoshi Maeda.

This is the situation he wants. He is now willingly serving for his girlfriend's safety, rather than being coerced into joining.

As long as a person has a reason to convince themselves, they can lower their standards infinitely.

"It seems Mr. Maeda is still a devoted lover, which is good. I admire people who are sentimental the most, because only sentimental people can clearly know what they want to do."

Therefore, I hereby announce that Akiko Sayama and Satoshi Maeda have joined my organization.

Chapter 366 Secret Cooperation

"What? You recruited two people into our organization?"

Vermouth sat up in shock, saying that she had been leaning comfortably against Miyazaki Yu just moments before, but was now startled.

"When we first establish our force, what we lack most is manpower to work for us. We need people who are both capable and loyal, and such people are few and far between."

Vermouth remained noncommittal. Anyone who has built their own power base seeks competence and loyalty from their subordinates, but these two things seem to be inherently opposed.

Those who are loyal but lack ability are useless, while those who are capable but lack loyalty are a hidden danger.

It is extremely difficult to achieve both, and it may even require years of training. Many mysterious organizations secretly collect children for training, aiming to cultivate both sufficient ability and loyalty, and even train some fearless assassins.

“I understand what you mean, but how can you be sure of the loyalty of these two people? People who have never been exposed to darkness cannot adapt when suddenly placed in it.”

Miyazaki Yu turned to look at Vermouth and smiled, "So my criteria for choosing people are different from others. I like those criminal geniuses, letting them wander between hope and despair, completely breaking down their defenses, letting them feel the ultimate fear, and then letting them feel hope."

The human heart is like a thin wire; with enough patience and repeated bending, it can be completely shaped.

Although she was already Miyazaki Yu's woman, Vermouth was still deeply shocked by his words.

Her eyes were fixed on his profile, which was very handsome, with a sharp and resolute look that made one unable to resist being captivated at first glance.

But only those who truly understand him later will realize how much depth lies hidden behind that face.

She thought she knew him very well, but it was clear that what he was hiding was like an iceberg floating on the ocean; the part that was above the water was only the tip of the iceberg.

Seeing Vermouth lost in thought, Miyazaki Yu could guess what she was thinking, and reached out to pull her into his arms.

“I have always used these methods on outsiders. I am different from Karasuma Renya. He only uses everyone else as pawns for his immortality. But without friends and lovers, immortality is just endless pain. That is not what I want.”

Therefore, I will not discard anyone who is loyal to me as a pawn, especially my woman. Unless someone kills me, my woman will always be mine.

Vermouth's lips curled into a smile; this guy was always so domineering.

"That girl named Ran, and that Sonoko Suzuki, aren't they the girls you like? You little rascal, do you only like these kinds of innocent girls?"

This made Miyazaki Yu smile awkwardly, and alarm bells rang in his mind. He was not stupid enough to praise another woman in front of a woman; such a suicidal act was not something he would do.

Suddenly, her neck tightened, and her mouth was suddenly sealed by bright red lips. Vermouth only released him when her face turned red.

"Don't even think about dumping me, or you're dead!"

Faced with the tigress's tyranny, even a great swordsman could only cower and tremble in his bed.

In the darkness of night, within a luxurious and enormous manor, a figure was moving about. The courtyard here appeared simple, but in reality, it was equipped with exceptionally tight security measures.

Every place is watched in secret to ensure that nothing goes wrong. In addition to hidden sentries, there are also guards in the open, but those people are all outside the courtyard.

One in the light, one in the shadows; one outside, one inside—these elements ensured that the place was guarded flawlessly.

Such security setups are certainly not cheap; in fact, they can be considered extremely expensive. The cost of personnel alone is an astronomical figure each year, and the cost of equipment is a separate matter.

However, for the owner of this place, Morita Einobu, who is walking in the courtyard at this moment, it was all worth it.

The previous incident still haunted him.

Under that level of experience, the power and wealth he was so proud of became useless, and for the first time in his life, he tasted the bitterness of being an ant.

He finally came to his senses: without sufficient military support, any wealth or status is merely a means to an end, preserving only his frail body.

Once your physical body is destroyed, everything else will be for naught.

"Ding--"

His phone received a message. He paused for a moment, then chuckled and opened the message to read it.

After reading it, he immediately deleted it. And this was not a simple deletion. He and the special numbers he was in contact with were all on file in the operator's backend. Once the information he received was deleted, the backup information on the server would also be deleted.

In other words, unless he wants to, no one can know this information.

This is, of course, just the tip of the iceberg of all the security systems. The Morita family's computers, televisions, and all electronic products are encrypted with extremely high levels of security.

He was never on guard against petty thieves, nor just business rivals, but more so against the rulers of the country, because he didn't want his connection with that person to attract too much attention.

In a secluded living room within the villa grounds, Miyazaki Yu was quietly sipping tea when Morita Einobu pushed open the door and walked in.

"The presence of Miyazaki Kengo is an honor to the Morita family."

Miyazaki Yu chuckled, stood up and smiled, "Uncle Morita, you're too kind. I'm just an ordinary high school student. You don't need to be so polite."

The two exchanged a smile.

"You're coming to see me in the middle of the night, is it because you're running out of money to build your base? Don't worry, I'll immediately allocate some funds for you, is two billion enough?"

Miyazaki Yu smiled faintly, casually mentioning billions, truly showing his wealth and generosity, but this was also the Morita family's greatest sincerity.
