I never said anything

Around 50 meters away from the car, Yuhara Kozue watches Rie kidnapped by the strange men. He notes the plate number of the van and calls the emergency number. He reports the kidnapping and runs to the car.

"Hey, redhead man, wake up." Yuhara Kozue shakes him. "Who were those men?"

Ren doesn't answer him. Yuhara notices that something is wrong. Ren's body is turning cold. His pulse is getting slower. There is no time. He takes him to the nearest hospital.

"What happened to him?" The female doctor asks him. Something heavy grips his chest. He makes some distance from the female doctor.

"We were involved in a kidnapping." He manages to utter out with some difficulty. "The kidnappers did something to him. His heart rate is slowing down."

"They are professionals," The detective tells them. "The van is found ditched nearby. They have changed the vehicles a few times. We are trying to track down the latest one, but it will take some time."

Kiyohira slaps the desk in frustration. "Do anything that it takes to find her."

"The professional kidnappers usually don't go this far. The orders must have been specific." The detective points out. "They injected poison into the boy's body. Luckily, the poison was identified at the hospital."

Takeuchi Miwako is dead. Who else could it be? Is it his grandmother? Things have been bad between him and his grandmother since the announcement of the engagement. He didn't go back to the Kamiyama mansion.

Ren is poisoned and lying in the hospital. If Yuhara has been a little late, Ren would have died. They were able to track the vehicle because of Yuhara's quick actions. She might have a goal to keep Rie away from him, but his grandmother wouldn't try to kill Ren.

During the world hack series, he has noticed some people's evil intentions toward her. If it's them, they wouldn't hurt Ren like this. Why would kidnappers inject poison in Ren's body and kidnap a mentally unstable woman? It could be that Miwako's unidentified friend. Takeuchi Miwako is already dead. Who will tell him the name of that person?

Chisa leaves her house at around 2 AM. She drives straight to the secret playhouse on the other side of the city. Kiyohira has been flapping his wings like a scared and desperate chicken. He couldn't find a single link between her and Rie. He has stopped suspecting her. He has already lost his reasons and looking for Rie like a crazy person.

He should suffer. Because of him, she lost an important person. If he hasn't delved his nose where it didn't belong, she wouldn't have sent Miwako to H country. Her important servant died a horrible death. No one in the world is as loyal and careful as Miwako toward her. If it has been someone else, she might have been caught by Kiyohira already.

Takeuchi Miwako is dead because of Kiyohira and Rie.

She has lost her cool when she heard that Miwako is dead. She commanded them to bring Rie as soon as possible and kill anyone who tries to obstruct them from taking Rie back to her even if it is Kiyohira. Rie is already brought to the secret playhouse.

"What do we have here?" Chisa smiles cruelly at the figure tied to a pole in the middle of the room. "Miwako was right. You are good at seducing men. I didn't expect that your level is so high."

Rie shudders violently. "Don't hurt me."

"So, you remember what happens when you wrong your master." Chisa grabs Rie's hair. "There is no one here today other than you and me. I have to do this on my own. If you don't make it hard for me, I will not hurt you." Much.

She snivels. "Please let me go. I didn't do any wrong."

"I was too busy to come and get you before." Chisa slaps Rie's face. "You must have told her name to Kiyohira, huh? Because of you, Miwako is dead."

"I never said anything." Rie struggles inside the ropes when she sees Chisa takes the iron rod from the table. "I never told them that it was you and Miwako."

"It happened because of you." Chisa raises the rod high. "Don't worry. I will do my best to fix you."

Rie is lying on her stomach. Her clothes are bloody. Several bones in her body are broken. She can't even crawl away when Chisa presses her foot on her wounded hand. She flinches in pain. "Did I do too much? I did lose control today. Along with your body, did I break your mind into pieces?"

Rie's eyelids flutter weakly. Chisa uses the rod to turn her body to look at Rie's face. The girl is already unconscious. "You have to hold on until I am satisfied. Honestly, it's no fun if you have already lost your sanity. I don't like broken toys."

She kicks her stomach. Hard. "See, it feels like I am playing with a dead body."

Chisa picks up the call. "Oh, Kiyohira is on his way here. They found it too soon... Don't worry, Father... Remember our promise? We will keep each other's secrets safe... No, I will clean it up on my own... I don't plan to keep her with me anymore... You are disgusted? You weren't disgusted when my friends helped you get the support you needed to save your company... Father, everyone needs hobbies. You have yours and I have mine."

She hangs up the call and looks down at Rie. "Kiyohira is a stubborn one. He will not stop until he finds you. My chosen prey wants my toy. I am not a benevolent person who gives away my broken toys to the needy one."

When Kiyohira and the cops arrive, the villa is on fire. He tries to rush inside, but he is held back forcibly. The firefighters arrive. After half an hour, Rie's body is brought out of the villa.
