What Ryunosuke did at school began to spread to the outside world. After all, something that big was impossible to hide. Out there, this incident attracted the attention of many big figures.
Among them was the leader of Japan's four major conglomerates, Shinomiya Gan'an.
Gan'an was the head of the Shinomiya Conglomerate. Currently he was already around 70 years old. His body was covered with medical equipment, oxygen tubes were attached to his nose, and he appeared very sickly—clearly his time was not long.
Currently, he was troubled by one problem. Namely, his children who were too ambitious fighting over the inheritance. He was afraid after he died, the situation would become chaotic.
And his youngest daughter whom he loved most, Shinomiya Kaguya, was undoubtedly the weakest among them. He was truly uneasy leaving her. He had thought about secretly transferring part of his wealth to Kaguya so his daughter could live the rest of her life peacefully. Unfortunately, his wives watched very closely, not giving him any opportunity at all.
Moreover, Kaguya was born from another woman outside, which made her position within the family even less solid. In outsiders' eyes, Kaguya was just an illegitimate child from a mistress, with absolutely no right to fight for wealth, let alone inherit the position of family head. Being able to survive this struggle was already a miracle Gan'an should be grateful for.
The only way he could think of now was to marry Kaguya to a great man, a figure who could protect her for life. Then, he could logically transfer part of his wealth in the name of dowry for Kaguya. At least that way, his daughter's future would be guaranteed.
Gan'an let out a long sigh with a face full of worry. At that moment, a sexy maid approached and whispered something in his ear.
Gan'an's gray and dim eyes instantly sparkled. He nodded slowly, signaling for documents to be brought immediately, while not forgetting to grope the maid's backside.
The maid appeared accustomed and didn't give an excessive reaction. For powerful people like this, keeping maids was indeed for the purpose of "playing." They had even slept together, so what did she care about just groping. If only Gan'an's physical condition allowed, he would definitely have done a hot scene there.
The maid immediately presented the document. Inside that document, Ryunosuke's face photo was displayed. The contents described what he had done at Advanced Nurturing High School, including expelling all second-year students.
Gan'an stroked his white beard while thinking. "This kid is quite excellent, and his background is clean. If he becomes Kaguya's husband, with his methods at school, he should be able to guarantee Kaguya's safety for life."
Gan'an immediately made a decision.

On the other side, Kaguya also received the same document. However, what she thought was different from her father. She thought about pulling this person to become her assistant.
Yes, Kaguya had not given up fighting for the position of family head. She knew very well in this cruel society, if she didn't fight, then she would become a victim. Although she was an illegitimate child with small chances, she still wanted to struggle.
Currently, she hadn't met Shirogane Miyuki yet, so she was still the cold Ice Princess Kaguya figure. With an expressionless face, she asked Hayasaka Ai beside her.
"What do you think about this person?" She handed that document to Hayasaka.
Hayasaka, wearing a maid uniform, received it gracefully, read it carefully, then nodded satisfied. "Quite good. This person is very extraordinary. Based on the data, he even appears to have a good relationship with the only son of the Koenji Conglomerate, Koenji Rokusuke. In terms of connections, there's no problem."
She gave a rational analysis and labeled this young man as "Excellent." Kaguya nodded satisfied while stroking her chin.
"I'm considering pulling him to our camp. What do you think, Hayasaka?"
Hayasaka's eyes trembled slightly; clearly she had other thoughts, but on the surface she answered normally. "Everything is up to Ojou-sama's arrangement."
Kaguya decided to pull this person to her camp. But the problem was, how? Advanced Nurturing High School was a closed school that prohibited outside visitors. Unless they were students' parents, only then did they have the right to visit. So, what identity should she use to approach him?
Kaguya momentarily felt difficulty, but then she made a decision.
"Hayasaka, in two years shouldn't I be entering Shuchi'in Academy? Change the destination to Advanced Nurturing High School."
"I plan to meet him that way. At least when I enter, he will be a third-year student and I'll be first-year. The opportunity is only once."
Hayasaka momentarily wanted to stop her, but she closed her lips without uttering a single word. She just answered softly, "Ready, Ojou-sama."
After that, she left the room and called Shinomiya Oko. Hayasaka was actually a spy placed by Oko at Kaguya's side.
"What is it? Didn't I already say don't call if there's nothing important? What if you're suspected?" Oko's tone was full of reprimand.
Hayasaka bit her lip and told the truth. "Kaguya-sama wants to enter Advanced Nurturing High School."
Oko's hand movement that was tapping the desk stopped; his face showed confusion. "Why does she want to go there?"
Hayasaka told everything. Oko signaled his head maid to retrieve Ryunosuke's personal data. After reading that document, he snorted coldly. He roughly knew what his younger sister wanted to do. Nothing other than seeking talented individuals.
As if as a woman, she had inheritance rights? Dream on. Even he himself, the son of Gan'an's second wife, had almost no chance, let alone that sister of his?
Oko threw that document aside and said indifferently. "Just let her be. Your task is just to continue watching her closely. Remember, your mother is still in my hands. Better never think about betraying."
Facing Oko's threat, Hayasaka could only comply. Since the Shinomiya Conglomerate destroyed the Hayasaka family, they had recruited the family's remnants to work for them. Her mother now became a personal maid under Oko. She only had this one family member; she had no other choice.
Hayasaka closed her eyes in despair; in her heart she apologized to Kaguya.
(Forgive me, Ojou-sama. I'm also forced to do this.)
Soon after, she hung up and returned to watch over Kaguya.
