Chapter 232

Unlike the last time when he entered the Kamimura family's banquet with an invitation, this time Hoshikawa and Akira were welcomed into the banquet respectfully by the service staff as a formal member of the Kamimura family.

Perhaps to avoid gossip from the news media, the newly appointed head of the family, Shota Kamimura, attached great importance to his two remaining brothers, or at least showed an attitude of attaching great importance to them. In short, both Kamimura Yuta, the only son of the previous head's wife, and Hoshikawa Kazuaki, who had been living away from home, received the highest level of courtesy.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki was not surprised by this, and of course he did not have the illusion that he was really valued. He just cooperated with the trusted head of the family, Shota Kamimura, to put on a show, and took Kogoro Mori's family to eat and drink. The reason why he specifically agreed to this invitation was actually to complete the final handover with the new head of the family on some complicated inheritance procedures.

Unfortunately, some news media didn't think so. A special reporter from a tabloid might have thought that there was some very interesting news about Hoshikawa and Akira, so she shook her big brown waves and walked towards Hoshikawa and Akira who were enjoying the food in her high heels.

"Mr. Hoshikawa, right? Can I have some time for you?" The female reporter gave Hoshikawa and Ming a professional smile and pointed to the location of the lounge.

Maori Kogoro had long been attracted by the food and wine, and was eating and drinking heartily. Maori Ran followed behind him and whispered to him. Conan started running around as soon as he arrived here, trying to find the member of the organization who was hiding somewhere by posing as a child. So for the time being, only Hoshikawa and Ming were here.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki had no interest in being interviewed, and wanted to refuse. However, when he turned around, his eyes caught sight of Shota Uemura walking towards him. Hoshikawa Kazuaki didn't want to have any communication with the so-called new head of the family, rather than being interviewed. So he immediately changed his mind, nodded to the female reporter and said, "Okay, let's go over there and talk." Then he walked out ahead of her.

However, just after leaving the banquet hall, Xingchuan and Ming ran into Yuta Uemura who was standing in the corridor in a daze. When he saw who was coming, he immediately stared at him with a bad look, and anger was brewing on his face.

Although Hoshikawa and Ming don't want to have too much interaction with the people of the Kamimura family, they have a different feeling towards Yuta Kamimura in front of them.

Yuta Kamimura is the most beloved child of Sachiro Kamimura and his wife, and the only one among his sons who did not get the inheritance rights. This is a child who grew up in money and doting, even one year younger than Hoshikawa Kazuaki, but miraculously he has not been contaminated by the darkness hidden in the Kamimura family, and still maintains a rare purity and innocence.

However, after the last incident, Uemura Yuta completely lost his father, and his mother also paid the price for being an accomplice. It was a complete tragedy that his dearest mother teamed up with his most trusted housekeeper to kill his father. Uemura Yuta could not accept such a result, and could only place his hatred on Hoshikawa Kazuaki who exposed all this.

Xingchuan and Ming could understand his confusion and helplessness, so they didn't really blame him, but they didn't want to be entangled by him, so they could only try to hide. However, they didn't expect to run into him here. Xingchuan and Ming just wanted to dodge, but Uemura Yuta suddenly rushed over, grabbed Xingchuan and Ming's collar, and knocked him back, leaning against the wall of the corridor.

"What are you still doing here? Don't you think it's not enough to harm the Kamimura family?" Kamimura Yuta asked almost with gritted teeth.

"Don't be like this. The reporters are right behind us. You don't want to bring shame to the Uemura family left by your parents because of your unreasonable behavior." Hoshikawa Heming frowned and pried open Uemura Yuta's hands. He looked at the other party who suddenly came to his senses and abruptly distanced himself from him, and a faint helplessness rose in his heart.

After all, he is still a real child, eager to leave the last trace of his past life, but he is powerless to go against the will of a family. I don't know how the Uemura family plans to treat him in the future.

The female reporter had already walked out of the banquet hall at this time, but after hearing the sound of high heels, Yuta Kamimura turned around and ran away, making Hoshikawa Kazuaki, who had originally planned to cover up for him, feel a little amused.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki quickly straightened his clothes, and then nodded to the female reporter as if nothing had happened, and then opened the door of the lounge for her. The female reporter glanced sharply in the direction where Uemura Yuta left, and did not ask much, but when she looked at Hoshikawa Kazuaki's back, she showed a mysterious smile with deep meaning.

The lounge is located next to the hotel banquet hall and is a temporary resting place for guests at the banquet. The Uemura family chose this hotel to hold the banquet this time, considering that some guests may need temporary interviews. In addition, the reporter was invited by Uemura Shota, which shows how urgent Uemura Shota's need to gain media recognition is.

The female reporter seemed to be very interested in Hoshikawa and Akira from the beginning. As soon as she sat down, she asked, "I heard that Mr. Hoshikawa has made great achievements in the comics industry. At the same time, you also have the same inheritance rights as the new head of the Kamimura family. So, as the only two heirs with inheritance rights, but the position of head of the family was taken away by Kamimura Shouta, are you dissatisfied with this inheritance result?"

What's wrong with this female reporter? Why did she bring up such a controversial topic right at the beginning? This doesn't match the purpose of this banquet. Could it be that she is not a reporter specially invited by Shota Uemura to help build momentum?

Xingchuan Heming felt suspicious and his brows wrinkled slightly.

At the same time, in the banquet hall separated by a wall, Shota Uemura did not go to where Hoshikawa and Akira were standing. He walked through the crowd, greeted each guest calmly, and then came to the balcony alone, as if he was tired and needed some fresh air.

In the corner of the balcony separated by thick curtains, out of everyone's sight, a strange man in black casual clothes and a duckbill cap was leaning on the balcony railing and looking into the distance. When he saw Shota Uemura coming over, he turned around and greeted him:

"Congratulations, the new head of the Kamimura family. How does it feel to be the center of attention?" His features were not blocked by the brim of his cap, revealing only his smooth chin and a mocking curve at the corner of his lips.

Shota Kamimura immediately took a step forward anxiously, with a complex expression of fear and expectation on his gentle face, and asked respectfully: "Lord Melo, now that I have successfully inherited the Kamimura family's business, can the organization, as previously agreed, let me inherit my father's code name 'Kang Ting'?"

The man called Mello then turned around and sneered at him, reminding him: "You want to inherit your father's code name? But as far as I know, your father's original designated heir was not you, but another son who just returned to the Kamimura family and also has the right of inheritance."

Shota Kamimura's expression froze for a moment before he carefully retorted, "But Hoshikawa and Akira have fully agreed to transfer the inheritance rights to me, and the final handover procedures can be completed today. So I am still the actual heir..."

However, under the pressure of Mello's increasingly cold and dangerous aura, Shota Kamimura finally shut up, and the gentle demeanor on his face was completely transformed into fear.

Melo didn't care about his thoughts, but said to him in an almost commanding tone: "If you want to satisfy the organization, you must do as I told you before. It just so happens that Xingchuan, Ming and Uemura Yuta are all here today, so you can complete the task earlier and let the organization see your determination earlier."

He looked at Shota Uemura and said threateningly, "Or do you mean that you don't really want to be loyal to the organization?"

"No! How dare I!" Shota Uemura was so scared that he almost jumped up, and immediately defended himself: "I definitely don't mean that. Lord Mello, don't worry, I will complete the organization's mission before the end of today's banquet!"

Melo then contentedly withdrew his power, and the smile on his face became more meaningful. He said in a tempting tone: "After Xingchuan and Ming are completely convicted of murder, both the inheritance of the Kamimura family and the ownership of the code name 'Kanting' will truly belong to you."
