As Alex expected the deal between Kai and Honami went smoothly.
The reason being that Honami was just too desperate too save her Clan.
She didn't know how that realistic footage even came to be in existence. But, Kai didn't care if it was real or not.
After all it was useful for Kai and now she was using it to blackmail Honami into accepting her terms.
Honami didn't even find it necessary to have a chat with her daughter who was current leader of the Clan before accepting almost all conditions Kai put forth.
" Do not think too much Matriarch of Hayashi Clan. I really respect you and won't make a deal that will harm you, " Kai laughed after their talk went through.
Honami was pretty surprised seeing the same Powerhungry, greedy and devilish women laughing so merrily now.
Honami had no thoughts to blackmail Kai by knowing that she was a women as the head of male-centered Clan.
Kai had just that much control over the whole Clan and she had shown it to Honami.
That's why Kai had literally ripped off Hayashi Clan by making Honami accept all the deals.
Hayashi Clan was now supposed to be the spearhead of Kageyama Clan!
" I'm glad you think so Clan leader, " Honami said with a forced smile.
Kai had already made it clear that Kageyama Clan no longer belonged to anyone but her.
She had even shown clear proofs which convinced Honami pretty quickly.
" Haha. Of course I think so. You're the women who built the Hayashi Clan from nothingness. Your existence itself makes me proud, " Kai praised.
" You're flattering me too much. I don't deserve those praises, " Honami said, she was feeling her danger sense tingling.
" So, as we're now in the same boat. How about we celebrate it with a drink and find a reason to bring out collaboration even closer? " Kai said with heartful smile.
" Of course, " Honami couldn't say otherwise.
If someone had told her yesterday that she will be having a drink with her most hated enemy tomorrow, then she wouldn't have believed them in any condition.
But, here she was now. Her whole Clan's existence resting on her ex-enemy's shoulders.
Honami and Kai both took a drink and then Honami asked, " So, will Kageyama Clan provide direct support to us from now on? "
" Hold your reins matriarch of Hayashi Clan. We haven't yet decided on the deal. There is still one last condition from me to bring our Clans mutually closer in public view. This will be more beneficial to you than me, " Kai said with a cunning glint.
" What do you suggest Kai-sama? " Honami asked.
" A marriage, " Kai said.
" A marriage? " Honami was slightly surprised.
" Yeah. A marriage that will bridge our Clans, " Kai said while looking at Honami with smiling eyes.
Honami even though was an experienced women, still felt as if she was being eyed by a predator.
Seeing Honami not speaking, Kai continued, " A marriage between two heads of our Clans. Between me and your eldest daughter Hayashi Honoka. "
Honami looked at Kai for a moment.
She then closed her eyes and thought about something.
She somehow felt that this decision was even more important than all other negotiations earlier.
But, in the end she nodded.
This marriage was only going to benefit their Clan.
Honoka was just the current Matriarch in name. She had no real powers.
Her post could be given to her younger daughter or Honami could keep it to herself now.
Kai grinned, " Then this asks for the celebration. We'll make the news public about me marrying your eldest daughter, the current Matriarch of Hayashi Clan tonight. Tell her to be ready and as we have talked tell no other soul about my real self, not even your daughter. Understood? "
Honami sighed and in the end gave a relieved smile knowing her Clan was saved for now.
" Hayashi Clan will always be loyal to today's deal Kai-sama, also your secret will be safe with me. We hope we have a long cooperation, " Honami stood up and extended her palm for a handshake.
But, Kai didn't even look at the hand and hugged Honami making her slightly surprised.
" We're soon going to be related. So, don't be so stiff. From today on Hayashi Clan and my Kageyama Clan will be eternal allies, " Kai said with a genuine smile.
She had completed what she was ordered to do by Alex.
Hayashi Clan was completely pulled into the mess to destroy Takahashi Clan.
Yamamoto Clan was secretly collaborating for its destruction as well.
This was now three vs one fight.
Takahashi Clan's fall was inevitable...
* * * *
" Why did you ask for that Kai to marry big sister? Don't you want to keep her as yours? " Hoshino asked intrigued.
" I don't mind Kai having a relationship with her. As in the end they will both spend their nights with me, " Alex chuckled while seeing the large sized TV in front of him.
Hoshino and Akiko were watching the live footage of Kai's deal with Hoshino's mother.
Everything went as Alex had planned.
Actually, before suggesting this Plan Alex had contacted Freya and Nanase.
Both of them were chosen ones like Hoshino's big sister Honoka.
From them Alex found out that even if they knew about each other's presence. These chosen ones hardly knew anything else about each other.
Each chosen one kept their distance from each other until they were brought together by fate.
So, Alex was sure that Honoka didn't know that Kai was a women.
Also Honoka didn't know that Alex had already taken control over the Kageyama Clan.
She must be thinking that he was still busy and handful with Yamamoto Clan's inner strife which was being exaggerated by Hikari right now to stay away from Takahashi Clan's mess.
Also, as Kai had asked Honami to keep her gender a secret from Honoka. She might not even suspect the domination of Kageyama Clan, as any Player was unable to brainwash a man.
" Master, your phone is ringing. It's the call from Kai-sama, " Akiko said while handing Alex his phone.
" Oh, thank you Akiko, " Alex just smiled at Akiko making her cheeks turn rosy with happiness.
Hoshino pouted, but still she moved closer to Alex to hear his conversation with Kai.
[ Hubby. Did you see me? ]
The slightly excited but yet still mesmerizing voice of Kai came from behind the call.
" Yes. You did nice. You know what to do next right? "
[ Hehe. ]
Kai first femininely giggled at Alex's praise.
She the continued [ Yes. I'll do my best ]
After that Alex and Kai had some small talks which ended with a small telephone kiss from Kai.
Hoshino who was glued to Alex, rained kisses on Alex as soon as he was done.
" What are you doing? " Alex asked while not stopping her.
" I'm trying to remove any effect of that gay bitch from you, humph, Akiko, help me! " Hoshino ordered to Akiko.
" Master I was forced by my mistress, I'm sorry, " Akiko apologized without any remorse and joined into the fun.
Their fun escalated and after few hours once again Hoshino and Akiko were sprawled on the sofa with their holes filled to the brim, their beautiful breasts covered in Alex's marks while their faces beautified even more by pleasured expressions they had.
Alex looked at his hardwork proudly. He wondered how real Kazuma will act seeing his two wives like this.
Alex was sure that his confrontation with him wasn't far away.
Ring! Ring!
Alex suddenly heard his phone ringing.
He had kept his phone on silent except for some of his closest women.
Also with situation going on he wasn't surprised to see Arisu's call.
[ Big brother Alex... ]
From behind the call came the listless but sobbing voice of Arisu.
Alex smiled at her plight. Weaker she was easier his task will be.
" Arisu, I'm really sorry for you... " Alex said, his voice laced with concern and gentleness.
[ Sob, sob. Big brother how did it happen... What should I do now... ]
Arisu sounded lost. She had no one to even complain.
Alex did his best to manipulate her by his words.
In the end he said, " Don't think anything useless. Sigh. I can't guarantee anything but, I'll do my best to save your brother. "
[ Thank you big brother ]
Arisu felt as if she was using Alex's kindness, but she really had now nothing to loose if even her brother was gone from her life.
With heavy heart she sat down on the chair in her small room feeling guilty for acting like a selfish bitch to Alex.
She closed her eyes as exhaustion took over her making her fall asleep.
She was still an innocent girl unlike her future self...
Knock! Knock!
Arisu woke up after who knows how much time.
She heard the door knock and fearfully went to open the door.
She didn't want to see one of her cousins who will curse her for her brother's crimes.
But, she was surprised to see her guardian Hina standing outside.
Hina gave Arisu a charming smile. But, Arisu could notice the hint of sorrow and exhaustion in those eyes.
It was evident that Hina was really sorrowful for her father's death.
" Can I come in little Arisu? " She asked.
" Y-Yes, " Arisu replied.
As soon as Hina came in she didn't waste her time and went to the topic.
" How did you convince the Prince of Yamamoto Clan to help you? " Hina asked.
" What do you mean aunt Hina? " Arisu asked surprised.
" He contacted me, to let your brother be exempted from an execution. So, my question is the same. How did you convince him to ask me for such a big favor without even caring for the costs on his side? " Hina asked curiously.
" I... I... " Arisu stuttered not knowing what to say.
Her eyes suddenly started welling up with tears of gratitude.
She for the first time ever felt that she wasn't alone.
Someone had her back.
This feeling was unexplainable. The relief she felt was not because Alex tried to save her brother but because he didn't go back on his words thinking she was worth more problems than use.
" You young'ns really are surprising. I didn't expect my little Arisu to be such a heart stealer. But, know this. It's impossible for me to let your brother go, " Hina said sternly seeing Arisu's hopeful expressions.
Arisu felt her relief going away, hearing Hina, " Please aunt. He is innocent. Why will he scheme against his own Clan? "
" The reason is clear. Anything that Hayashi Clan can give him is worth more than his life, " Hina explained shortly.
She then continued, " I can't let him go scot free. So, once he accepts his crime before everyone. He'll be subjected to imprisonment in Clan's prisons till death. That's the most I can do. I've talked this with your brother before coming here and he has agreed happily. "
" I-I see, " Arisu nodded after all anything was better than death.
" Also, try to bring some more benefits from your boyfriend. I'll be going now, " Hina said and got out of there.
As soon as Hina was gone Arisu fell on her bed, staring at ceiling.
Alex's face kept coming in front of her everytime she closed her eyes.
" He really did that for me... " A small smile came to Arisu's lips.
She felt her heart racing.
Unbeknownst to her, her maiden heart was already falling in Alex's grasp.

Soon, in the evening another massive news was spread throughout the country.
It was the news of the engagement of Kageyama Clan Leader Kai and Matriarch of Hayashi Clan Honoka.
The live show of their engagement on the full screen was a blatant slap to the face of Takahashi Clan.
The joyous occasion in Kageyama Clan and Hayashi Clan was the direct assault to the sorrowful atmosphere at Takahashi Clan.
Takahashi Clan elders chastised those two Clans openly not caring about their image.
The news of alliance between their opposition was too big of a blow for them.
Feeling fearful some of the external members even started liquifying their assets low-key.
But, amidst this storm another big news was buried.
It was the ascension of Aizawa Yumino as the new Head of the Aizawa Family.
As smart as Yumino's father was he understood repercussions that he was going to face by not emptying his spot.
He didn't care that much as he was still the leader of 'Dark Nest' Branch.
Alex who was seeing this all felt that he was not far dominating this whole country while completing his mission as well.
* * * *
" Our marriage is just a business agreement so you better not overthink it Kageyama Clan leader, " Honoka dressed in a beautiful white knee length skirt said to Kai while holding her arm.
Honoka had a charming smile upon her beautiful lips, completely opposite to her poisonous words.
Beautiful trinkets laced Honoka's body making her shine brighter than anyone.
Her feminine curves hidden behind the white skirt made her look as attractive as a celestial fairy.
Overall she looked like a charming and happy maiden at this joyous occasion which made her connected to the most desirable man in whole of the Sakura country.
" Of course miss Honoka. I expect nothing less than you as well, " Kai chuckled while posing for another picture with a naturally charming and handsome smile.
Alex had used his points to create an illusion around her which made it easy for her to hide her gender.
She was wearing a formal black suit which covered everything except her face.
Her slightly long hair were done elegantly which matched with her suit.
The small smile on her lips adorned with dignified and confident air around her made millions of maidens feel jealous of Honoka.
Kai was just that famous through the country. She literally was a national crush of every girl!
After the media exposure was done, Kai like a gentleman led Honoka to her car.
Once inside, Honoka saw the beautiful young maid driving the car, making her tsk in irritation, " What a Playboy. "
Kai was popular as maiden collectors. So, in Honoka's eyes she felt that she was marrying to a manwhore.
Kai laughed at Honoka's words and asked her, " What about having a dinner with your future husband? "
Honoka looked at Kai and smirked, " Nope. I need to sort out that mess you have pulled us into. "
" You can rely on me, " Kai said kindly like a realiable husband, offering her assistance.
" Humph! Only if you hadn't tried that assassination I wouldn't even need a help, " Honoka cursed. Thinking that Kai was the one who killed previous Takahashi Clan leader.
" Haha. I was also surprised at that, but nothing stopped me from using it to be closer to you, " Kai said like a typical Playboy not getting out of her role.
" Keep lying to yourself, " Honoka snorted.
" So, you are in for a dinner? " Kai asked with a smile, ignoring Honoka's displeasure.
" Only dinner. Don't get ahead of yourself, " Honoka said knowing she couldn't get out of it.
" I won't dare haha, " Kai laughed. She'll rather die than make a move on someone Alex had his eyes upon.
But, she added, " But, I won't stop anyone who wants a piece of myself. "
" Are you always this chatty? " Honoka asked in irritation.
" Only with beautiful girls of course, " Kai smiled.
" Oh. I'm flattered. So, should I now say fuck off? " Honoka cursed.
" You can always use my dictionary when I take you to my bed, " Kai joked.
" In your dreams, " Honoka rolled her eyes and looked out of the glass window.
Even though she acted indifferent, she felt that Kai was not all that bad as a lifelong partner.
In her assumption Kai is also a Chosen one like herself, that means they're both low-key immortals.
So, rather than marrying some other bastard, Kai is good.
Honoka nodded to herself after a long contemplation.
But, she didn't know that by thinking this way she was only falling more and more in Alex's trap.
