Who is this man? He was wearing the same school uniform as the Young Lady. Was he from another prominent family?
Lin Feng wasn't actively projecting his Divine Aura, so the onlookers merely felt that this boy possessed a natural dignity and an indescribable presence—one that compelled them to submit even more than Shinomiya Gan'an did.
However, as loyal servants and retainers of either Kaguya or Gan'an, they wouldn't bow down simply because of a vague aura.
Still, his sudden appearance in the middle of the hall left everyone in shock. What kind of power is this?
"Ha... Hayasaka! Kaguya, who is he?!"
Gan'an, trembling, pointed a finger at Ai and Kaguya, demanding an answer.
"Isn't that... the new transfer student? I heard from Iino Miko-san that they were holding hands at school."
Seeing Ai standing intimately with the transfer student, Kaguya felt a pang in her heart. A slightly bitter taste rose in her mouth; her exclusive personal maid didn't seem to belong entirely to her anymore.
"Me? I'm just a passing God," Lin Feng replied casually, not even sparing Gan'an a glance.
"G-God?!"
Lin Feng's statement stunned everyone. But then they recalled his sudden appearance, the intangible pressure, the aura that commanded submission, and how his soft voice carried clearly to everyone's ears.
These supernatural phenomena threw their minds into chaos.
"Impossible!!"
"I have lived in this world for a long time, and I have never heard of any Gods! Those are all fake, fabricated stories!"
As the head of one of the four great conglomerates, Gan'an had initially taken an interest in mysterious events. But every investigation he commissioned proved them to be hoaxes or man-made illusions. Since then, he had ceased to believe in such things.
"You old bastard! Feng-kun is a God from another world! Of course you haven't heard of his fame in this world!"
Hearing Gan'an slander Lin Feng, Ai became even angrier than Lin Feng himself. She stepped in front of him, pointing at Gan'an's nose and shouting loudly.
Kaguya watched Ai berate her father, feeling a strange sensation in her heart. The shadow of her father that had loomed over her for so long seemed to be dissipating.
Seeing Ai's efforts—her direct resistance against Gan'an's oppression right in front of her—made Kaguya realize that perhaps her father wasn't as terrifying as she had thought.
"You... You!"
"You what?! If you don't hand over the Shinomiya Group to Lady Kaguya, I'll send you to the afterlife right now!"
Ai's words became increasingly blunt. She seemed to be venting all the humiliation she had endured over the years. And she wasn't done; she planned to teach Kaguya's older brother, that bald Shinomiya Oko, a lesson later too.
"What?! Hand over control of the Shinomiya Group? Impossible!!"
Gan'an rejected the demand instantly. If he lost control of the conglomerate without anyone to protect him, he would quickly be wiped out by the enemies he had made in the past. He would vanish from the face of the earth.
Hearing this, the bodyguards and servants lowered their heads.
It was clear that Gan'an was losing this power struggle. If Kaguya succeeded in seizing control, these long-time servants who had followed her from the beginning would surely be trusted and promoted to better positions.
"Shinomiya Gan'an, you should relinquish your power. I can have Hayasaka Ai guarantee your safety."
Lin Feng glanced at Kaguya. Her mother was already dead, and although this father hadn't treated her well, it was probably better to spare his life.
Just as Gan'an was about to protest further, Lin Feng began to release his Divine Aura.
Everyone in the mansion saw Lin Feng begin to glow, his radiance becoming blindingly bright. The divine pressure forced everyone present to their knees involuntarily. However, Lin Feng controlled the aura specifically to exempt Ai and Kaguya from its effects.
Even so, Kaguya could still feel a trace of his power. As a proud young woman, she was shocked to find herself feeling a submissive urge toward a man—an urge she couldn't control.
"G-God... No, impossible..."
Kneeling on the ground, Gan'an muttered continuously, head bowed.
Minutes later, Lin Feng retracted his aura and sat on the sofa with Ai. Gan'an remained kneeling, refusing to rise. He was completely subdued, kneeling in atonement for his words and actions.
Lin Feng didn't care much for the gesture. If Gan'an weren't Kaguya's father, he would have been obliterated just like the bodyguards.
"Lord God! I will transfer the authority to Kaguya as soon as possible."
Realizing the reality of Lin Feng's power, Gan'an became extremely obedient. If a God existed... then didn't that mean immortality was possible?
With this thought, Gan'an cast a furtive glance toward Kaguya.
If the personal maid, Hayasaka Ai, could be so intimate with the Lord God, then his daughter Kaguya was certainly no less worthy! If the Lord God took a liking to Kaguya, that would be wonderful!
"Shinomiya Kaguya, I leave the arrangements for your father to you."
"Yes! Lord God!"
"Thank you, Lord God, and thank you, Hayasaka, for helping me so much!"
Free from her shackles, Kaguya felt incredibly light. She knew she owed everything to this transfer student God and Hayasaka Ai.
However, she was now very curious about how Ai and Lin Feng had met.
"If Lady Kaguya encounters any problems reorganizing the Shinomiya Group, I will definitely help you!"
Although they were mistress and servant, years of living together had made them like sisters. Otherwise, Kaguya wouldn't have tried to interfere when Ai got close to a boy.
She had originally planned to investigate this transfer student thoroughly later. To think he was actually a God... the thought made Kaguya shudder with retrospective fear.
Thank goodness this God was close to Ai and not an enemy. If he were against them, there would be no hope.
