The fact is as it is; his guess was nearly spot-on.

Right now, Fushimi Roku nudged Mizutani Junichiro's face with his toe, but the latter still didn't react, resembling a dead pig. He had no choice but to say, "He's passed out. Do you need me to call an ambulance?"

Saying this, he didn't wait for Kujo Mutsumi to reply and directly took out his phone to dial the emergency number: "Whether you agree or not, I have to call; the law obliges me to call for emergency assistance."

"Did you bring people to Hokkaido?" Kujo Mutsumi's first thought was that Fushimi Roku had other henchmen with him.

"No, it's just me." Fushimi Roku said.

"Then do you have a gun?" Kujo Mutsumi asked again.

"No, don't ask anymore. I knocked him out directly myself." Fushimi Roku counted the number of people and said, "There are a total of eleven people, all lying on the ground."

Kujo Mutsumi was silent for a moment, then said, "This is a misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstanding?" Fushimi Roku didn't have a small note at hand, so he picked up a shoe dropped by someone, contemplating that the messenger was either Kujo Mutsumi on the front or Kujo Hikari on the back. He tossed it to the ground, with the back facing up. He then continued, "Then let Kujo Hikari come and tell me. Don't dare act without facing consequences."

Kujo Mutsumi remained silent for a moment. He didn't ask how Fushimi Roku knew nor did he try to argue, but attempted to change the topic: "Recently, Tamako will stay here for a while. If you don't mind, you can return to Tokyo first."

"What do you mean?"

Fushimi Roku immediately thought about the previous argument, then about Taira Sakurako's comment 'confession might be rejected,' along with the possibility of Minamoto Tamako leaving that made him anxious, flashing these subtle emotions unconsciously, he asked: "Is she acting up or wants to break up with me?"

Kujo Mutsumi, having lived for over seventy years, could sense a vulnerability with just a sentence, and said accordingly: "I shouldn't say it directly, but... she did ask me to relay this."

Fushimi Roku's finger paused while dialing, shifting from a squat to a sitting position, plopping down on Mizutani Junichiro's back, staring at the waves outside the courtyard in a daze.

Two or three seconds later, he snapped back to reality: "She's just angry, right?"

Within these three seconds, Kujo Mutsumi quickly analyzed the pros and cons, judging the gains and losses.

Indeed, he had once thought of recruiting Fushimi Roku, but now his own biological son has already made a deadly move against Fushimi Roku. Even if he forces them to reconcile, once he's gone, his son's fate would not likely fare well.

Kujo Mutsumi hadn't even considered the possibility of his son personally suppressing and recruiting Fushimi Roku. Just the conversation in the tatami room indicated that maintaining the family business would already be quite commendable.

Since recruiting wasn't possible, it was best to minimize losses quickly. They hadn't reached the stage of marriage yet; everything could still be reversed.

Moreover, Kujo Mutsumi hoped to use Minamoto Tamako to tie Kujo Yua to Hokkaido.

Kujo Yua had once cared about in-laws, and now she would definitely care about Minamoto Tamako's husband and the parents-in-law. As long as Minamoto Tamako marries a local conglomerate, Kujo Yua would most likely be influenced.

Within less than half a second, he made a decision. Opportunities and fate do not wait for anyone; each time, he seizes the moment without hesitation.

"It's normal for young people to break up and get back together," Kujo Mutsumi said in a tone of a considerate elder: "Why not think carefully whether she really likes you? Does she like you for who you are, or is it something else keeping her with you... But maybe, she might just be temporarily discouraged. I think you still have a chance."

This statement is very provocative and applicable to all couples.

Kujo Mutsumi, at the age of seventy-six, had to resort to undermining efforts to clean up his son's mess, making some manipulative comments, epitomizing the family's misfortune and declining lineage.
