Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was Kiyotaka's nominal older brother.
Although they were brothers, they actually didn't meet very often.
In the year after Kiyotaka "transmigrated" to this world and returned home from the hospital, that was when he saw Kiyotaka the most, sometimes once a week.
In the years since then until now, it hadn't been more than fifteen times in total.
Despite not meeting often, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka could confirm that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was definitely a genius.
He was intelligent and talented. Years ago, Kiyotaka accidentally discovered one of his practice problems, which showed that he had already mastered calculus, with a proficiency that even surpassed his own as a former graduate student.
He was cold in nature and aloof. When Kiyotaka chatted with him, he candidly admitted that he had no friends and didn't believe friends had any value.
He was very obedient to their father. Whenever his father commanded him, he never argued, and he would silently do whatever was asked.
He was a loyal executor, but—such a person harbored hatred towards his father.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka first noticed his hatred for his father when he first met him, but as he grew older, his face seemed to be adorned with a disguise, gradually hiding his emotions.
To this day, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka could no longer discern his thoughts.
Other than that, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka knew nothing else about Kiyotaka.
The schools he attended in elementary and middle school, the books he read, the games he played, the knowledge he studied…
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka knew none of these. He was shrouded in a huge mystery. Whenever Kiyotaka asked, he would always brush it off, never answering directly.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had a premonition—this might be the time for him to reveal these things.
"Kiyotaka…it's been a long time."
The moment he saw Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, a flicker of excitement appeared in Kiyotaka's eyes, but it quickly faded, leaving only a slight smile at the corner of his lips.
"Big brother, long time no see."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka sat down in the chair prepared for him and teased, "We haven't seen each other in so long, is this outfit the welcoming gift you prepared for me?"
He shook his head, "This outfit isn't for you to wear; it's for me to wear."
"Just as you said…we're being monitored?"
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka recalled the card written on the paper, and he smiled, shaking his head, "Big brother, you're overthinking it. At least when I came, I didn't feel anyone monitoring me."
"You know, there are too many surveillance devices at home. My senses have long been honed. If someone were monitoring me, I would definitely notice."
The presence of surveillance at home was a shared understanding between the two of them.
Just as Ayanokoji Kiyotaka knew Kiyotaka was a genius but never mentioned it, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had also long perceived that his younger brother's emotional intelligence far surpassed ordinary people.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka couldn't explain his transmigration, so he simply avoided bringing up the topic.
As for Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, it was as if due to their "brotherly" relationship, he always had an extremely high level of trust in Kiyotaka.
No matter what unusual behavior Kiyotaka displayed, he never doubted it, seemingly believing that was just his normal self.
They both knew each other's extraordinary qualities, but they tacitly agreed not to speak of them, accepting them as they were.
Therefore, when Kiyotaka suddenly brought up the surveillance, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was not surprised.
He spoke in a calm tone, "There are no surveillance devices on you, and no one is following you, but your whereabouts have indeed always been exposed to father."
Kiyotaka raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Why do you say that?"
"Father has always been using the public security department's surveillance equipment to track your phone number. He always knows where you are."
"Public security department?" Ayanokoji Kiyotaka looked up in astonishment, "Big brother, are you serious? I'm not a criminal suspect, so why would the police track my location?
Also, does father have such great power to mobilize the public security department for his personal matters?"
He was silent for a moment, then said, "…His power is greater than you imagine."
Ayanokoji knew that his "father," Ayanokoji Fugang, had an extraordinary identity, always accompanied by several bodyguards when he went out, but due to his father's and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's deliberate concealment, he had always been kept in the dark.
Even when he secretly investigated, he found nothing.
Online, it seemed all information about him was hidden. Searching for the name "Ayanokoji Fugang" yielded only a blank.
Not only his, but even Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's own and his brother Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's information were all hidden; nothing could be found.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's heart stirred at this moment.
Since Kiyotaka said so, did it mean he was going to reveal his father's identity to him?
He asked in a deep voice, "Big brother, I've always wanted to know what father's true identity is. You've always kept it from me, and now…can you finally reveal it to me?"
"We'll talk about his matters later."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's expression remained unchanged. As if reassuring Kiyotaka, he said, "You don't need to worry about being tracked now. The watch on your wrist can block signals. He can't track you now and doesn't know where you've come."
Ayanokoji looked down at his watch, and a long-standing doubt in his heart was finally answered.
His phone had been in his pocket, and he hadn't looked at it, so he didn't know about the signal being blocked, but people around him had been complaining about poor signal. It turned out it was his problem…He shouldn't have told that person that Huawei wasn't lagging anymore.
Suddenly, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka realized something.
"Since my phone card has always been tracked, then has my transit card also been tracked?"
Transit companies have internal networks that can query the top-up and consumption records of every card.
Consumption records can display the user's travel information, including the bus taken, subway line, date of travel, time, etc., and even the boarding and alighting stations are "recorded" in the form of numbers.
If his phone card was being tracked, his transit card might also have been monitored, with his information being grasped in real-time—he had used his transit card to swipe at the subway station.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka looked at him with an approving gaze, "You're right, your transit card should also be monitored. Father should already know that you got off in Suginami Ward."
"However, you don't need to worry. He only knows you're in Suginami Ward, but he doesn't know your exact location. Moreover, he generally won't specifically monitor you, so you can rest assured."
