The crowd was chaotic, but Narumi remained calm. He stood up and made a gesture with his hands indicating for everyone to calm down and said, "Quiet now. I know that you hate the Akao family very much, and you also want to avenge Master Gushiken and Miss Yoshiya. However, our best course of action now is not to fight with the Akao family head-on."

"After all, now, Kento has won over quite a number of people and their power is on par with us. Even some members of this family are also standing on Kento's side."

"Are you trying to say that the Akao family is too powerful, so we shouldn't deal with them and let them walk free?"

"Don't you want to get revenge for Master Gushiken and Miss Yoshiya?"

"What are we going to do if we don't get our revenge?"

Facing the chaotic crowd, Narumi mumbled, "I said that we shouldn't fight now. It doesn't mean that we won't get our revenge. We have to act more wisely and not so impulsively."

"In a week, it will be the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Hachi Clan. At that time, all of the members will definitely come back to celebrate it, and Kento will also be present."

"Think about it, how would everyone judge him if we expose him for the murder of Master Gushiken and Miss Yoshiya at the ceremony? The people who are on his side, how would they react?"

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Then, a look of joy flashed across their faces, and they clapped their hands and cheered.

"Indeed, what a wonderful idea. When we publicly expose him for his sins, everyone will definitely be furious with him. At that time, Kento is going to be doomed."

"That's right. Kento has always denied the fact that he was involved with Master Gushiken's death. We will expose his lies and let the people standing on his side come to their senses. At that time, our chances of winning will skyrocket."

Everyone was excited. Liza also had a smirk on her face. She glanced at Narumi and said, "Master Uchida, what a wonderful plan. Then, we will follow your plan."

"Yes, Miss Liza!" Narumi was very respectful to her and then ordered everyone to keep it a secret.

They began to secretly prepare for the anniversary ceremony to be held a week later.

Fade also started talking about the clues that he found on the corpses but it was not very useful information. After all, the bodies had been preserved for such a long time and he was not here when they were fresh. Thus, there was a lot that he couldn't determine.

After coming out of the conference room, everyone left. Some of the elders who were initially dissatisfied with Fade had a change in attitude at this moment.

Liza, as the chairman, signed some documents and finally came out. Fade waited at the entrance and he had something he wanted to talk to her about.

However, Eichi was one step faster. He rushed in front of Fade, came to her side and said, "Liza, are you free? I have a report on the company. I have something to discuss with you."

"Well, let's go to my office to discuss it." She nodded and then was ready to head to the office with him.

However, just as she was about to head to her office, she saw Fade striding towards her. She couldn't help but ask, "Fade, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

He stared at them and said, "It's nothing. Liza you have something to attend to. You should attend to it first"

"This..." She paused for a moment and then said to Eichi, "Mr. Eichi, let's discuss the documents some other time. I'll have to talk to Fade first."

"This..." Eichi's expression changed, and his expression was a little strange, but he still forced a smile and nodded, "Yes, Liza."

"Well, Mr. Eichi, thank you." Liza nodded to him, then walked to Fade and said, "Fade, let's go to my room and talk."

Behind him, when Eichi overheard this, a flash of gloominess flashed across his gaze and he grimaced.

When Liza wanted to discuss the matter with him, she suggested going to her office but now, she suggested to Fade to go to her room. Such a difference made Eichi feel anxious. Arriving at her room, Liza asked Fade to have a seat. She brought a glass of water over and thanked him again, "Fade, I'm very grateful for today."

He shook his head gently and said, "It's nothing. Liza, I have something to tell you."

"Fade, what is it?"

He looked a little serious. He lowered his voice and said to her, "It's about the poisoning of your mother and grandfather."

"What, it is regarding the poisoning of my grandfather and my mother? This..." Liza was a little puzzled.

"According to my examination, both your grandfather and mother were indeed poisoned. The poisons used were nearly identical, but there was still a slight difference."

"To be specific, the poison in your mother's body was more advanced, and the toxins were more potent and harder to detect. However, the toxin in your grandfather's body is relatively lower and less potent." "This, how could it be?" She was taken aback when she heard this.

Meanwhile, she also stared at him with some doubts and said, "Fade, since you detected this, why didn't you say it in the meeting just now?"

He lowered his voice and said, "Liza, when I heard Narumi talking about the Jopeno Sparrow Powder, I decided not to talk about this."

"Why?"

"You also heard from Narumi that the Jopeno Sparrow Powder is very precious and very rare. The biggest difference between your grandfather's and your mother's toxins is the presence of the Jopeno Sparrow Powder." "Think about it, if it was someone from the Akao family who poisoned your mother and your grandfather, why would they use two different poisons? If they succeeded in the first poisoning, why would they want to change the poison the second time?"

"Perhaps the medicine was not enough! You also said that the Jopeno Sparrow Powder is very rare, and the Akao family may not be able to get enough of it anymore."

Fade shook his head and said, "This kind of poison is very potent. Almost half a gram is sufficient to poison a person to death. Would the Akao family really lack such a small amount?"

"If it isn't due to shortage of poison, what could it be? Could it be that my grandfather was killed by someone else?"

Fade had a serious expression and answered, "This might be a possibility. In short, according to my speculation, there is a difference between the poisoning of your mother and grandfather. The poisoning of your mother was carefully and meticulously planned. The poisoning of your grandfather was likely to be an unexpected situation, so the killer didn't have time to carefully prepare it and he needed him to die immediately."

"In short, no matter what the reasons are, this entire thing seems fishy. I don't want to make this matter public before I am certain."

After listening to his words, Liza's expression sank as if she had thought of something. After a moment of silence, she raised her head and stared at him. "Fade, do you mean that there's a murderer around me that isn't the Akao family?"
