God!

"Alliance...?" 2x

Masa's uncle and father were at a loss for a moment as they looked at Maya, who proposed, and then subconsciously turned their gaze toward their nephew (son), who sat next to Maya. Yet, even so, the tenseness in their bodies couldn't be hidden, especially since even if Maya was a beautiful woman, her fearsome and frightening reputation was well-known. More importantly, the Yotsuba family was famous for its black ops and assassination, and none among the "Numbered Families" could match the Yotsuba Family, so those who were targeted by her definitely wouldn't have a good life.

At that moment, she was like a beautiful flower, with a scent and visage that matched such a description, but if they had carelessly touched it, they wouldn't have realized when they were poisoned and then dying. 

This was why no one dared to think of something dirty despite how charming her ripened body was. Yet, instead of making her appear less attractive, age made her more delicious and precious, like wine. 

Yet, even so, once again, facing Maya, Masa's uncle and father only wished to run away. Yes, due to Masa's achievement, which caused the rise of the Isshiki family, they felt like they had been above many, and they had their own pride, too, but this was just a fake status that came and was born from Masa, and because of that, facing Maya, whose strength was above theirs, they couldn't help but feel an intense nervousness as they knew well if they fought, Maya would gain the upper hand. 

The Demon King of the Far East. 

This nickname wasn't given to Maya just for fun; instead, it could be said that Maya was the strongest magician in the country, and she gained such a name. Even Juumonji, who was known to have the best defense in this country, if not the world, was helpless in front of her magic. 

If Maya could become their ally, it would be great, Masa's father and uncle thought, but was it the truth? 

Didn't she try to threaten Masa and them? 

After all, the branch family of the Yotsuba family, the Kuroba family, was just caught by them for trying to spy on them, so was that the reason why Maya came? 

Still, whether Masa's father or uncle, neither of them dared to make a careless decision right away, and because their confidence came from Masa, they subconsciously looked at him, and Masa nodded. "It's fine." 

Maya smiled as she ate the cut fruits that were prepared by Masa's followers, yet this smile frightened the two. "You don't have to worry. Our cooperation or alliance is a win-win proposal." Chewing the diced melon, she had to say it was the juiciest, freshest melon that she had ever tasted, especially when the sweetness was just right. "Can I bring some of the fruits later?" 

"Go ahead." 

"Then, I will leave first. You three must have something to talk about, right? I am waiting for the answer~!"

After Maya said so, she left without caring about Masa's father and uncle since, in her mind, they were just as good as Masa's followers. Even if they were Masa's family, she didn't care since, in her eyes, she only cared about Masa, and the rest of the Isshiki family was meaningless since the concept of family affection wasn't something that she cared about, especially after her twin sister killed herself in the past. 

As expected, when Maya left, Masa's uncle and father sighed in relief as if a heavy boulder had been taken from their shoulders. 

"...are we going to have an alliance with the Yotsuba family, Masa?" 

The risk and the consequences were too much, they thought. 

The Yotsuba family was famous for their infamy, and this family was even used by ordinary people to make children obedient and tried to make a mess at night so they would be obedient. 

This family was as good as a monster! 

"It's fine. Even if we don't, we will be seen to have one, especially after she came to my place."

"...." 2x

No one expected Maya to boldly visit Masa, which was why this sudden action threw them off. Even if nothing had happened between them, everyone would be in doubt, thinking they had been working together with the Yotsuba family. 

"Instead of having them question, doubt, and even if we do nothing, then we might as well do something, preparing ourselves in the case something happens." 

"You are right." 2x

Instead of waiting for the enemy to jump out and cause a mess for their family, they might as well cause a mess first for their enemy. 

"With our wealth continuing to increase, we also need someone to protect that. The Magician of One isn't enough, and the Yotsuba family can become our Cerberus." 

"...you treat the Yotsuba family as a dog?" 

No, from his words, shouldn't Masa treat all the Magicians of One as his dogs?

"I treat them as special." 

"...even if Cerberus is a legendary animal, it is still a guard dog, okay?" 

Yet, they knew well that the richer they were, the more danger for their family there was. All of their family might be strong, and they didn't cause trouble, but even so, sins among living beings couldn't be erased, and just because of a feeling, whether it was greed, envy, or just hatred, just such a simple feeling, many people would jump up, trying to rob them of everything, so they knew well the decision to make the Yotsuba family an ally would bring more advantage than a disadvantage. 

"But let's keep this problem ambiguous instead of being clear about it. If others ask, just pretend to be dumb and tell everyone that the head of the Yotsuba family is just interested in beauty care."

"Okay." 2x

Masa's uncle and father nodded. 

"By the way, you take care of her, too, okay? I am too nervous in front of her." 

"...yes, Masa, you are in charge of taking care of her." 

"...was that something you should say to your nephew and son? Don't you worry about my safety?" 

"It seems that you are all fine."

"Yup, we're going to die if we face her." 

The two were realistic. They knew that Masa was strong, and while they weren't weak, they weren't Maya's opponent, so they might as well leave the problem of Maya to Masa. 

As for Masa, might they have a hidden relationship with Maya? 

No one dared to think so, especially with how fearsome Maya was. The naughty thoughts, while they existed as a natural reaction that a man had toward an attractive woman, loved their lives more, so no one dared to have such a thought, especially those who had passed away silently, which showed how fearsome this family was. 

If Masa made a comparison, the Yotsuba family would be like the Zoldyck family on Hunter x Hunter. 

Even if the world knew this family was dangerous and had committed many crimes, no one dared to do anything openly. 

It was like how one shouldn't bother a hornet's nest. They had to be careful, or they might as well not do anything and just wait for the professional to handle it. 

Still—

"By the way, I have made a new plan." 

"...." Masa's father and uncle. 

"...our network's plan hasn't succeeded, and you are going to make another plan?" 

While everyone wished for the Isshiki Network to be completed as soon as possible, it was hard to gain permission for it, especially when many countries tried to stop showing their appeals, showing how afraid they were of these satellites. 

If it was just a normal satellite, it would be fun, but this was a satellite created by the Isshiki family, and everyone was afraid that all the satellites in this world might be taken control by Japan, which might lead to the tilt of a world balance as some extremists thought that this might be a method for the Isshiki family to dominate the world by dominating space, sky, and even the world over their satellites. 

After all, no other countries wished for Japan to grow stronger. 

Within the domestic, many supported the satellites prepared by the Isshiki family so their country could gain the upper hand over other countries, especially the military, who felt that they had to become strong, especially when the Isshiki family also had promised to let the country to use the satellites, too, the ministry of the foreign affair side, which thought that those satellites might cause the animosity of all countries, which might lead into war, refused to give such a permission to the Isshiki family. 

Still, this situation was a stalemate, and no one could gain the upper hand over the other, yet there was no doubt that the appearance of the Yotsuba family would cause the situation to become even more tense. 

Yet, even so, the Isshiki family wouldn't give up on this plan of the satellites since they knew how necessary it was.

"Just read it first." 

"Hmm?" 2x

Taking the documents from the table, the two read quietly, fell in silence, and then looked at Masa in a daze. 

As expected, this guy was a God!
