I created a foundation

Why hide?

Is this even necessary? Because the enemy is too strong! Because we can't defeat them! Because we'll be killed!

Isn't this a matter of course?

Lin Qing looked at their self-righteous and confused expressions and smiled again.

"Hasn't your goal from the very beginning been to take control of the entire Shinomiya family?" His words, like a key, once again ignited the fire of "ambition" in Kaguya's heart.

"Your father's wrath and your family's pursuit are a catastrophic disaster in your eyes. But in my opinion..."

He slowly turned around and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling Tokyo night scene below, which was dotted with countless lights like a galaxy of stars.

"...This is the best opportunity that comes once in a lifetime."

His voice was not loud, but it echoed clearly in every corner of the living room and in the hearts of the three girls. It was filled with the unquestionable dominance and composure of an absolutely strong man.

"Your father and your brothers all thought we were vulnerable bugs lurking in the shadows. They all thought they were hunters wielding butcher knives, high and mighty."

"So, they will not hesitate to mobilize all the strength they can muster. They will crawl out of their respective nests, gather together, and come here, ready to witness a crushing, unpredictable execution."

The corner of Lin Qing's mouth curled up into a fox-like, calculating smile.

"That's perfect. This saves me from going to each of them in person."

These words made Kaguya and Hayasaka's hearts shrink.

They heard a kind of crazy meaning in these words that made them feel extremely anxious.

He...did he want to...

"President," Kaguya's voice became a little dry because of an absurd guess, "You mean..."

Lin Qing slowly turned around.

The playful smile on his face had disappeared, replaced by an absolute, dominating confidence and majesty.

He looked at Kaguya's beautiful face which was filled with shock and disbelief, and in a tone as if stating an established fact that could not be refuted, he announced his crazy plan, word by word, which was enough to completely subvert the entire Japan.

"The plan originally planned for the future, which would have allowed you to ascend to the throne..."

"...arrive early and execute tonight."

"Shinomiya Kaguya."

He called her full name, and a very bright smile, one that could even be said to be full of "kindness", appeared on his face again.

"Tonight, I will make you the new head of the Shinomiya family."

silence.

Deathly silence.

At this moment, the entire luxurious villa living room seemed to have frozen even the air.

Shinomiya Kaguya, Hayasaka Ai, and Busujima Saeko who stood by and listened to everything from beginning to end.

These three are top-notch girls whose intelligence, strength, and knowledge are far beyond that of ordinary people.

At this moment, everyone stared blankly at the man who was smiling and uttering these shocking remarks, as if he were a madman, a delusional patient, or a lunatic who had completely lost his mind.

Let him... let myself become the head of the Shinomiya family tonight?

Does he know what he's talking about?

That's the Shinomiya Zaibatsu! A true behemoth controlling the nation's economic lifeline! The transfer of power within it is the most complex power game in the world, requiring countless rounds of maneuvering, calculations, and even bloody struggles, consuming years, even decades, to complete!

And now, he said that he wanted to get all of this done in just one night?

If this isn't crazy, then what is?

Faced with Lin Qing's crazy declaration that was almost like an oracle, Kaguya and Hayasaka, after a complete mental breakdown lasting one minute, finally accepted this absurd "fact" that made them helpless.

——Their president is either an incurable, extremely arrogant lunatic.

——Or, he really possesses the god-like power to turn these "crazy words" into reality.

No matter which the answer is, they have no choice but to bet everything they have on this unfathomable man.

"I understand." In the end, Hayasaka Ai, the attendant, was the first to regain her composure, that of a top professional. She looked at Lin Qing, her eyes filled with solemnity and determination. "President, what do you need me to do?"

Kaguya took a deep breath, forcing herself to suppress the turbulent emotions within her. She knew this might be the biggest gamble of her life. If she won, she would ascend to heaven and obtain everything she had ever dreamed of. If she lost… she didn't dare to think about the consequences.

"Very good." Lin Qing was very satisfied with their attitude.

He did not set off immediately, but like the best battlefield commander, he began to arrange the battle plan in an orderly manner, which could be called a "decapitation operation" against Japan's most powerful financial group.

"Hayasaka," his gaze first fell on this crucial "insider," "I need you to use your position as valet and all the authority you possess to infiltrate the Shinomiya family's central security room. After the operation begins, create a system vacuum sufficient for the entire assault team to silently infiltrate the core area."

"Yes." Hayasaka Ai nodded without hesitation.

"Eri," he ordered the blonde girl with twintails far away at the Foundation headquarters through the communicator, "you will be responsible for remote technical support. Connect to Hayasaka's signal, and once she begins to move, you will immediately launch a maximum-intensity electronic attack on the Shinomiya family's network firewall from the outside. Your mission is not to break it, but to create chaos and attract the full attention of their network security department, providing cover for Hayasaka's physical infiltration."

"Got it! I will complete the mission!" Ying Lili's excited and motivated voice came from the other end of the communicator.

"Shiyu," he looked at the black-haired senior student beside him, "you will be the on-site commander of this operation. Leading an Alpha Commando team composed of reinforced combat personnel, with the cooperation of Hayasaka and Eriri, you will be responsible for clearing all physical obstacles. Your mission is to clear a perfectly clean red carpet for me that leads directly to the conference room where Shinomiya Gan'an is."

"Yes, President." A confident yet dangerous smile appeared on Kasumigaoka Utaha's face.

"As for Saeko," Lin Qing's gaze finally fell on the purple-haired girl who had remained silent from beginning to end, just standing quietly behind him, wiping her huge Zanpakutō. "You are our last resort. If, and I mean if, any accidents occur during the infiltration operation and it turns into a violent attack, then..."

"I will cut everything for you." Busujima Saeko didn't even wait for Lin Qing to finish speaking, and replied in a calm tone as if stating the fact.

"Very good." Lin Qing nodded with satisfaction. "Then, the operation will officially begin in twenty minutes."

"Target—" A cold light flashed in his eyes, as if he was looking down at an ant.

"——Shinomiya family."

……

It's ten o'clock that night.

The Shinomiya family residence, located in the most central area of ​​Tokyo and covering an incredibly large area, is still brightly lit.

This is the true center of power that controls Japan's economic lifeline. Its security system is so strict that it would daunt special forces from any country.

Hidden pinhole cameras, covering every corner of the manor, covered every 360-degree angle. Buried beneath the lawns were state-of-the-art pressure sensors capable of distinguishing the weight of different creatures. Inside the walls, a dense, invisible infrared defense network was interwoven.

In addition, dozens of security teams composed of retired elite members of the world's top special forces conducted cross-patrols 24 hours a day. They were equipped with top-notch military-grade weapons that were sufficient to handle a small local war.

This place is said to be a land fortress that is "absolutely impenetrable from the outside."

However, facing the Foundation's combined attack that combined "supernatural," "technology," and "internal support," which could be described as a dimensionality reduction strike, this so-called "iron wall" seemed so vulnerable.

The moment the action began, Hayasaka Ai, who had been lurking near the central security room by taking advantage of her identity, quietly knocked down the two guards in charge of the handover like the most agile black cat, and used the authority cards on them to successfully enter the "heart" of the fortress.

She sat in front of the main computer, her hands turning into blurry afterimages on the keyboard.

At the same time, Eriri at the foundation headquarters also launched a tidal, saturation electronic attack on the Shinomiya family's external network firewall.

One inside and one outside, the two top hacker girls cooperated perfectly in the silent world of the Internet.

Soon, the Shinomiya family's security system, which was said to be "absolutely safe", had a fatal monitoring blind spot and system loophole that lasted for ten minutes.

"The channel has been opened, the time limit is ten minutes. Alpha team, you can start the breakthrough." Hayasaka Ai's voice calmly reached Kasumigaoka Utaha's ears through the encrypted channel.

"receive."

Outside the manor, in the darkest corner, several agile figures led by Kasumigaoka Utaha, wearing "mimicry combat uniforms" that can distort light and almost blend into the darkness, crossed the towering wall silently like ghosts.

Their actions were professional, efficient, and silent, as if they were a group of dark messengers from hell who had undergone countless drills.

With the intelligence support of Hayasaka Ai and Eriri, they perfectly avoided all physical traps and patrol sentries, and like a red-hot, invisible blade, they easily cut through the seemingly indestructible layers of defense of the fortress.

Occasionally, he would encounter a few security personnel who were responsible for fixed patrols and whom he could not avoid. Without making any sound or even noticing anything unusual, they would use high-frequency daggers to silently cut off his cervical vertebrae from behind, ending his life.

A "red carpet" paved with blood and darkness leading to the center of power is being quickly cleared.

Lin Qing, on the other hand, was like a late guest attending a dinner party.

He was wearing a decent, even somewhat casual, casual outfit, with his hands in his pockets, and followed the commandos slowly.

He strolled leisurely on the roads that had just been cleared and still stank of blood, as if he was not carrying out a "decapitation operation" that was enough to subvert a country, but was just taking a casual stroll in his own back garden full of exotic flowers and plants.

Soon, they arrived at their final destination.

The most magnificent meeting room belonging to the owner of the house, located in the center of the entire manor, full of classic and majestic atmosphere.

Kasumigaoka Utaha made a tactical gesture to Lin Qing, indicating that the passage has been cleared and everything is safe.

Lin Qing nodded.

He could clearly hear the arrogant and calculating conversations of the high-ranking officials of the Shinomiya family coming from inside the door.

They were enthusiastically discussing how to divide Kaguya's power and how to deal with that ignorant little bug called the "SCP Foundation".

They had no idea about the "guest" who was coming and could overturn their fate.

A smile full of coldness and mockery appeared on Lin Qing's face.

He reached out and grasped the door handle, which was made of thick Huanghuali wood and was extremely luxurious.

Chapter 0051: I'm here, kneel down! Now, you are all mine

Shinomiya main house, main residence, family meeting room.

This is the real power center of the entire Shinomiya Zaibatsu, this huge business empire.

A massive, twenty-meter-long oval conference table, crafted from a single, millennium-old yew tree, sat quietly in the center of the room. Its mirror-like surface reflected the massive, classically elegant chandelier on the ceiling, crafted from pure crystal.

The air is filled with the rich aroma of premium Cuban cigars and an invisible, heavy smell called "power" that can only be emitted by people who have been in high positions for many years.

At this moment, on both sides of the conference table, there were several men sitting upright, each with a different aura, but with eyes full of greed and calculation.

They are Kaguya Shinomiya's brothers, the rulers of the younger generation of the Shinomiya zaibatsu, and her most direct and powerful enemies in this brutal war of succession.

Sitting at the main seat at the long table was an old man wearing a traditional kimono, with a haggard face and half-open eyes, as if he was about to die.

He is the current head of the Shinomiya family, the absolute dictator of this vast business empire, and a taboo existence like a "demon king" in the eyes of everyone in the Japanese business community.

Sigong Yan'an.

Although he didn't speak, the cold, dead, yet absolutely majestic aura emanating from him was like a physical entity, turning the entire conference room into a suffocating, airtight iron box.
