Hatoyama Jiken went to great lengths to borrow clothes from his neighbor. Wearing the ill-fitting clothes, he intended to go to his other residence to retrieve something. And that was the end of that.

After several attempts to contact his family, he learned that the entire company in Hokudo had been emptied out. Before any trouble broke out in Hokudo, he obeyed his family's summons and returned home.

When Tang Yue arrived at the Hatoyama family home, almost all the family members had returned. The Hatoyama family had made ample preparations when southern Japan suffered a disaster two years ago.

Most of their wealth was transferred to ordinary houses, like those belonging to ordinary families. Especially after the incident in Russia, they became even more certain that this theft gang did not rob ordinary people.

The Hatoyama family held a meeting during the day, and everyone will be staying at the Hatoyama family's old residence until this crisis is resolved.

During the day, they learned from the government that the entire northern sea had been looted. The head of the Hatoyama clan then unleashed the secret power that his Hatoyama family had nurtured for nearly a hundred years.

He had a feeling that the moment of truth for the Hatoyama family had arrived. If the Hatoyama family couldn't weather this crisis, they might be completely wiped out in this calamity.

As night deepened, Tang Yue silently arrived at the edge of the Hatoyama family's territory. From the air, the entire complex resembled a lurking behemoth in the darkness, its imposing presence inspiring awe.

The vermilion palace walls stretch for miles, and the glazed tiles on the top of the walls gleam with a cold, eerie light under the moonlight. The exquisitely carved mythical beasts on the eaves are lifelike, as if guarding this mysterious mansion.

Passing through a quiet, tree-lined path, a majestic gate came into view. Above the gate hung a huge plaque with three gilded characters, "Kyuyama Mansion," written in a powerful and vigorous style, seemingly exuding a faint sense of majesty in the night breeze.

On either side of the gate, two enormous stone lions crouched, their eyes sharp, as if ready to pounce on any uninvited guest who dared to intrude.

Upon entering the main gate, a wide bluestone avenue leads straight into the heart of the mansion. On both sides of the road, pavilions and towers are scattered in a well-organized manner, with flying eaves, bracket sets, carved beams and painted rafters, exuding luxury.

In the courtyard, artificial hills and strangely shaped rocks stand tall, with a babbling stream flowing around them, reflecting the exotic flowers and plants on the banks. Under the moonlight, it resembles a tranquil ink painting.

However, Tang Yue's keen eyes quickly noticed the abnormality.
