You had only been working as a security

0:01

guard at the Unkai Mountain Villas for a

0:03

month when a beautiful female resident

0:04

brought you to her home using both soft

0:07

and hard tactics to get her away. That

0:08

morning, during your patrol, you

0:10

discovered a Porsche parked in the fire

0:12

lane. So, you called the owner to have

0:13

them move it. To your surprise, the

0:16

owner, Dichi, arrived and proceeded to

0:18

hit and curse you.

0:21

After striking you, Daichi dropped 200

0:23

yen and said, "Kid, I, Daichi, may have

0:27

nothing else, but I have money. Next

0:30

time you dare to manage my parking, it

0:33

won't just be a slap in the face." The

0:35

security captain, Itto, immediately

0:36

bowed to Daichi to apologize. "I'm so

0:39

sorry, Mr. Dichi. I will definitely

0:41

educate him properly." After seeing

0:43

Daichi leave, Itto whispered to you,

0:45

"The residents of this villa complex are

0:47

all wealthy tycoons. We as mere security

0:50

guards can never afford to provoke them.

0:53

You returned to the guard booth to

0:54

finish your shift. But as you were

0:56

heading to the dormatory, the manager

0:58

stopped you. Renos, please take these

1:01

two jugs of oil to Villa 303. Help me

1:04

explain to Mrs. Yang that when she paid

1:06

the maintenance fee the day before

1:07

yesterday, we were out of oil and this

1:10

is the new shipment. You didn't really

1:12

want to go. After being scolded by Reno

1:14

Yamada's husband, Daichi earlier, your

1:16

anger hadn't subsided, but you couldn't

1:18

afford to offend the property manager,

1:20

so you braced yourself and knocked on

1:22

the door of 3003. The villa door opened.

1:26

Renco was wearing a pink halterneck top

1:28

that exposed her porcelain white arms

1:30

and a black slit skirt that swayed

1:32

elegantly, revealing long, beautiful

1:34

legs through the black sheer fabric. You

1:37

had seen Rango many times, but this was

1:40

the first time seeing her dressed in

1:41

such a captivating way. That unique aura

1:44

of an elegant urban lady had a massive

1:46

impact on a country boy like you who had

1:48

never seen the world. Your heart began

1:50

to race uncontrollably.

1:53

Not daring to look too much, you kept

1:55

your eyes lowered. Hello. Manager Sato

1:58

asked me to deliver two jugs of oil. He

2:01

said you were out of luck when you paid

2:02

your fees, so he wants me to make up for

2:04

it now. Rancco swayed slightly, her

2:07

beautiful oval face flushed, and she

2:09

held a bottle of red wine in her hand.

2:12

Seeing that Rancco was drunk, you set

2:14

the oil down at the door, intending to

2:16

leave. I won't come in. I'll just leave

2:18

the oil here. But no sooner had you set

2:21

the oil down than Rancco pulled you into

2:24

the house. Just as you were about to ask

2:27

what was wrong, she pressed you against

2:29

the wall and kissed you directly on the

2:31

lips. You never dreamed that a cold,

2:33

highclass lady would pull you inside to

2:35

force a kiss on you. Just as you were

2:37

about to push her away, you saw a

2:39

wedding photo of Daichi and Rancco on

2:41

the opposite wall. You instantly

2:43

remembered Daichi's arrogant,

2:44

unreasonable face from noon when he

2:47

called you a guard dog. A nameless fury

2:50

flared up and your courage grew. You

2:53

reached out and scooped Rancco up into

2:55

your arms. In the sunset, you and Rancco

2:58

found emotional release in her bedroom.

3:00

An hour later, the two of you separated.

3:02

Ranco's intoxication had faded. She

3:04

quickly dressed, reverting from her

3:06

fiery passion back into the cold,

3:07

highclass lady. Rancco pulled open a

3:09

drawer, threw 2,000 yen at you, and said

3:12

coldly, "Forget what happened today. If

3:15

you dare to tell anyone, I will sue

3:17

you." Finishing that, she threw your

3:19

clothes at you. Put them on and get out.

3:22

Never come to my house again. And don't

3:25

contact me. You were stunned. Just

3:27

moments ago, she was so active and

3:30

passionate, and now she was cold and

3:32

threatening. However, you realized

3:33

immediately that while Rango was being

3:35

frantic with you, she kept muttering,

3:37

"I'll show you for cheating on me." This

3:39

meant she was simply using you to take

3:41

revenge on her ex-husband, Daichi. This

3:44

woman truly looked down on you as a

3:46

lowly security guard. Understanding

3:49

this, your tone turned cold as well.

3:52

Miss Yang, don't worry. I swear to the

3:55

heavens that I will never contact you

3:57

and I will never tell anyone about what

3:59

happened just now. You quickly dressed

4:01

but refused to take the money she

4:02

offered. As you reached the door, Rango

4:05

suddenly called out, "Wait a moment."

4:07

You turned back, looking at her with an

4:09

icy tone. "Is there something else, Mrs.

4:12

Yang?" She hesitated for a moment before

4:14

taking out her phone and holding it

4:16

toward you. "Add me online." You looked

4:19

at her in confusion. Just moments ago,

4:21

she warned you not to contact her, yet

4:23

now she was asking for your line. Was it

4:25

because your performance was so good

4:27

that she couldn't let go and wanted to

4:29

see you again? You guessed this, but

4:31

didn't pull out your phone. Since you

4:32

told me never to disturb you again, why

4:35

add me online? Rango's face turned

4:37

[music] red. Are you adding me or not?

4:40

If not, I'll report you. Helplessly, you

4:43

added her line. You guessed correctly.

4:46

Rango found your performance so

4:48

excellent that she was left wanting more

4:50

and hope to continue the affair in the

4:52

future. Rango was a rational person. She

4:55

wouldn't change her plans to remarry

4:56

Daichi just because of his deceit. But

4:59

the pleasure you gave her was 100 times

5:01

more intense than anything with him,

5:03

which the normally sensible Rancco

5:05

couldn't help but crave. After leaving

5:08

her home, you quickly called your

5:09

girlfriend Yuzuki. After what happened

5:11

with Ranco, you felt guilty toward your

5:13

girlfriend. As soon as the call

5:15

connected, Yuzuki's impatient voice came

5:18

through. Why are you calling me again?

5:21

Didn't I tell you I'm on a business trip

5:23

and very busy? Don't call me unless it's

5:26

necessary. Before you could speak, she

5:28

hung up the phone. You stared blankly at

5:30

your phone, your heart feeling choked

5:33

and uncomfortable. You hopped on your

5:36

electric scooter, thinking about your

5:38

situation with Yuzuki as you rode toward

5:40

the dorms. As you passed a secluded

5:42

grove, you saw a black BMW shaking

5:44

rhythmically, accompanied by a faint

5:46

sound from a woman inside. A sound

5:48

similar to what Rancco had made earlier.

5:51

You couldn't help but shake your head.

5:53

You had heard your roommate, old Woo,

5:55

mentioned seeing people having sex in

5:57

this grove before, but you never

5:59

expected to encounter it yourself today.

6:02

However, you weren't the type to pry.

6:04

Just as you were about to leave, the

6:06

woman in the car suddenly spoke. Please

6:09

be gentle, Kato. Hearing that voice,

6:10

your entire body felt as if it had been

6:12

struck by lightning. It sounded exactly

6:15

like your girlfriend, Yuzuki. A rush of

6:17

blood went to your head, and you wanted

6:19

to charge over and drag the pair of dogs

6:21

out to beat them, but you immediately

6:23

consoled yourself. I must have misheard.

6:25

Didn't Yuzuki just say she was on a

6:27

business trip? You continued riding, but

6:29

that sound felt like a thorn deeply

6:31

embedded in your heart, making you

6:33

incredibly miserable. After riding a

6:35

short distance, you finally turned back.

6:38

You needed to confirm that the woman in

6:40

the car wasn't your girlfriend so you

6:41

could pull that thorn out of your heart.

6:43

But when you returned to the Grove, you

6:45

saw Yuzuki getting out of the car. She

6:48

was wearing a micro skirt that barely

6:49

covered her backside and there was a

6:51

bruise on her thigh. In your memory,

6:54

Yuzuki was always conservative. She

6:57

never even wore kneelength skirts, let

6:59

alone something that short. Clearly, she

7:02

was dressing this way to please that

7:04

man. Blood boiled in your veins and you

7:07

dropped your scooter and charged

7:08

forward. You shameless woman, Yuzuki.

7:12

Yuzuki finally saw you. Ren Chin knows,

7:15

since you've seen it, I won't pretend

7:16

anymore. Let's break up. I see no future

7:20

with you. A sharp pain pierced your

7:22

heart. Yizuki, we have over 10 years of

7:25

history. [music] I gave up on university

7:27

to work and support your education, and

7:29

this is how you repay me? Yuzuki felt

7:31

some guilt and didn't dare look into

7:33

your eyes. The middle-aged man in the

7:35

car stepped out. Ren Chino, is it? I

7:38

suggest you stop pestering Yizuki. You

7:39

aren't worthy of her now, so why delay

7:41

her future? You looked at this man and

7:43

realized he was also a resident of your

7:45

villa complex. You clearly remembered he

7:47

had a beautiful wife who was a music

7:49

teacher. Kao's home wasn't far from

7:52

Ranco's. His wife was even more

7:55

beautiful and elegant than Rancco.

7:58

You never imagined that the man Yuzuki

8:01

was cheating with was this married man.

8:04

Yuzuki, do you realize this Kato is

8:07

already married? Kaiito [music] laughed.

8:09

Brother, your thinking is too

8:10

old-fashioned. So what if I'm married?

8:13

With my wealth, as long as Yuzuki is

8:15

willing. I can support her for a

8:17

lifetime and let her enjoy a life of

8:19

luxury. Kao leaned in close and

8:21

whispered in your ear. Your girlfriend

8:24

hasn't been used much, has she? She's

8:26

quite tender. It's a pity you haven't

8:28

seen her in that state. Furious, you

8:29

grabbed Kaio's collar, but he had hidden

8:32

a baseball bat behind his back. Before

8:34

you could get a grip, he smashed it into

8:36

your head. You fell to the ground,

8:38

dizzy. Kaiito gave you a few more fierce

8:40

strikes before pressing the bat against

8:42

your throat. Do you know who I am? A

8:45

lowly security guard like you dares to

8:47

raise a hand at me. If you even touch a

8:50

hair on me, I'll make you pay until

8:52

you're bankrupt. I warn you. Stay away

8:54

from my Yuzuki or I'll beat you every

8:56

time I see you. Ignoring the pain in

8:59

your head, you looked at Yuzuki. Did you

9:01

know he was married? You knew

9:03

reconciliation was impossible. But after

9:05

10 years, you didn't want to see her

9:07

sink to this level. Yizuki didn't answer

9:09

your question. Ran Ichin news. I will

9:11

slowly pay back the tuition and living

9:13

expenses you paid for me over these

9:15

years. Don't come looking for me again.

9:16

With that, she got into Kato's car and

9:19

they drove away. Although Yuzuki didn't

9:22

say if she knew about his wife, the fact

9:24

that she left with him after you exposed

9:26

the truth showed she didn't care about

9:29

being the other woman. You touched the

9:31

bruise on your head and suddenly thought

9:32

of Kaiito's wife, Haruka Kujo, who was

9:36

100 times more beautiful than Yuzuki.

9:38

Compared to the elegant and goddess-like

9:40

Haruka, Yuzuki was merely an ugly

9:43

duckling. To betray a perfect partner

9:45

for a woman like Yuzuki, Kaido truly was

9:48

a fool. You pushed your scooter back to

9:50

the dorm. It was already midnight. There

9:52

were three people in your dorm. Old Woo,

9:55

who worked the night shift, and old Ga,

9:57

who worked the day shift like you, but

9:59

he hadn't returned yet. You knew old

10:01

TakahashiSan was likely at the massage

10:03

parlor across the street looking for a

10:05

woman. Old Takahashi son was a few years

10:08

older than you, with a wife back home

10:10

raising their kids. Most of his salary

10:12

went into the pockets of the parlor

10:14

girls. You ignored him and went to the

10:16

bathroom to shower. When you entered the

10:18

bathroom, you noticed the injury on your

10:20

head from Kaio's attack had completely

10:22

vanished. There was no swelling and it

10:24

didn't hurt anymore. The speed of this

10:26

recovery was unnaturally fast. Then you

10:29

remembered something else. When you

10:30

passed Kaido's car, the windows were

10:33

tightly sealed. Normally, the sound

10:35

inside shouldn't have been audible. Yet,

10:37

you had heard Yuzuki clearly. Because

10:39

you were so agitated earlier, you hadn't

10:41

noticed these anomalies. Now under the

10:44

cold water in the shower, you calmed

10:46

down and finally realized these

10:48

abnormalities. Furthermore, you felt as

10:50

though something had been added to your

10:51

mind. You couldn't name it exactly, but

10:54

it seemed related to traditional

10:55

oriental medicine and funue, yet

10:58

slightly different. You suddenly

11:00

remembered something and checked your

11:02

chest. Sure enough, the talisman

11:05

birthmark that had been there for over

11:07

10 years was gone. When you were five,

11:09

you fell gravely ill and your mother

11:12

sent you to an old dowist who made you

11:14

his name disciple. The villagers said

11:15

the old dowist practiced a dark art. But

11:18

after you became his disciple, your

11:20

illness gradually faded. At age 10, the

11:23

old dowist drew a strange talisman on

11:25

your chest and solemnly told you it was

11:28

the inheritance of their sect. After

11:30

that, the old man disappeared into thin

11:32

air and you were left with the talisman

11:34

birthmark. But now that birthmark had

11:37

vanished without a trace. You remembered

11:38

it was still there when you showered

11:40

yesterday, meaning it had disappeared

11:42

today. You began to carefully rethink

11:44

everything that happened today, hoping

11:46

to find a clue. Finally, you remembered.

11:49

When you were being intimate with Rancco

11:51

on the bed this afternoon, a cool,

11:53

refreshing energy seemed to flow from

11:55

where your bodies joined into yours.

11:57

Could it be because of Ranco? But why

11:59

didn't you feel that when you were with

12:00

Yuzuki? You suddenly recalled the old

12:03

daist telling you that to inherit his

12:05

mantle, you required an energy fusion.

12:08

This fusion is a law of the universe. To

12:11

increase your strength, you must

12:12

cultivate and perform it continuously.

12:14

You exited the bathroom and saw old

12:16

TakahashiSIS dragging himself in looking

12:19

exhausted. You glanced at him and

12:21

noticed a problem. Old Gao, did you not

12:23

take precautions with that massage girl

12:25

these past few days? Old Takahashi son

12:27

looked shocked. How did you know?

12:29

Naturally, it was through the Dowist

12:31

inheritance, but that was your secret. I

12:34

can tell through my medical knowledge.

12:37

Have you noticed small red spots on your

12:39

body in the last 2 days? Old Takahashan

12:43

was stunned, nodding quickly. You're

12:45

exactly right. What's going on? You

12:48

rolled your eyes. Don't you know how to

12:50

search the internet? That woman

12:52

definitely has a disease and passed it

12:53

to you. Go to the hospital tomorrow or

12:56

it will be hard to treat. Old

12:57

TakahashiSian cursed the massage girl,

13:00

but then thinking about the high cost of

13:01

medical care, he begged you. Shaen, if

13:04

you can see my illness, you must be able

13:06

to treat it, too. Can you help me? I'll

13:08

pay whatever it costs. Old Takahashi son

13:11

didn't really trust your medicine, but

13:12

he felt it would be cheaper than the big

13:14

hospitals, which would charge him tens

13:16

of thousands for this quote difficult

13:17

[music] case. He really hated to part

13:20

with his money. You thought about it.

13:22

I'm not an expert, but I can give you a

13:24

traditional herbal prescription. Try it.

13:26

If it doesn't improve, you must go to

13:27

the hospital. Even though the

13:28

inheritance contained a cure, you had

13:30

never used it and weren't sure of its

13:32

effect, so you let him try it first. Old

13:35

Takahashi son [music] thanked you

13:37

repeatedly. You wrote the prescription

13:39

and went to bed. At dawn, you rushed to

13:43

shift duty. The security shift change

13:46

was at 700 a.m. Shortly after arriving

13:49

at your post, the manager called and

13:51

asked you to go to villa 46 at 10:00

13:54

a.m. to help unclog a drain. Your evil

13:56

thoughts surfaced immediately. 406 was

13:59

Kaido's home. Normally, drain

14:00

maintenance was the responsibility of

14:02

the property's repair man, but the

14:04

manager had outsourced it at a low price

14:06

to pocket the difference. It was said

14:08

the manager made over 100,000 a year

14:10

from this, but since he took the money

14:12

and did no work, the daily maintenance

14:14

fell to the security guards. You

14:16

prepared your tools and arrived at 46 at

14:19

10:00 sharp, ringing the bell. Soon, a

14:21

young woman opened the door, her makeup

14:23

was exquisite, her lips a bright red,

14:26

her hair loosely tied up. She wore a

14:28

light green floral high-neck top with

14:31

matching widelegg pants. Her style

14:33

blended traditional elements with modern

14:35

tailoring and she held a tassel ornament

14:38

radiating a blend of classical and

14:40

modern elegance. Seeing her, the image

14:43

of Shiaol Long from the return of the

14:45

Condor heroes flashed in your mind. This

14:47

woman was Kaido's wife, Haruka Kujo.

14:50

Seeing Kaido's wife, the scene of being

14:52

bullied by him earlier flooded back into

14:54

your mind. Perhaps due to her

14:56

profession, although Haruka was also a

14:58

wealthy lady like Ranco, she lacked the

15:00

cold, arrogant aura. There was a

15:03

welcoming affinity about Haruka that

15:05

made people feel very comfortable.

15:07

Seeing you, Haruka politely let you in.

15:10

Thank you, little master. Would you like

15:12

something to drink? You had been

15:13

thinking about whether to set a talisman

15:15

to get revenge on Kaio, but seeing her

15:17

kindness and the fact that she didn't

15:19

look down on you, you pushed the thought

15:20

aside for the moment. No thank you.

15:24

Haruka was truly a music teacher. Her

15:26

voice was soft and pleasant to listen

15:28

to. However, you quickly discovered

15:30

something wasn't right. Since receiving

15:33

the inheritance, you could see things

15:35

others couldn't. You realized someone

15:37

had secretly cast a peach blossom curse

15:39

on Heruka. Those cursed with it develop

15:43

a very intense demand for intimacy.

15:45

While unclogging the drain, you kept an

15:48

eye on Heruka. The inheritance stated

15:50

that the more beautiful a woman is, the

15:51

purer and higher quality the yang energy

15:54

in her body, making the energy fusion

15:56

much more beneficial. This had been

15:58

confirmed by Ranco and Yuzuki. Rano had

16:00

only fused with you once, yet the

16:02

benefits were 100 times greater than

16:04

twice with Yuzuki. Through observation,

16:06

you found that Heruka's physique was

16:08

indeed better than Ronos. Fusing with

16:11

her would certainly benefit your

16:12

cultivation. However, such a highquality

16:15

woman is generally impossible for an

16:17

ordinary man to satisfy. They wouldn't

16:19

last 3 minutes. Discovering this special

16:22

constitution, you finally understood why

16:25

Kato would cheat on such a beautiful

16:27

wife. You speculated that Kaido couldn't

16:29

last more than a minute with her, which

16:32

would be a huge blow to a man's pride.

16:34

Judging by her clear signs of hormonal

16:36

imbalance, you guessed he hadn't touched

16:38

his wife in a long time. It was truly

16:40

sad that Kaio married a beauty like her,

16:43

but couldn't handle her physically. You

16:45

quickly finished unclogging the drain. I

16:48

finished the job. Please take a look. If

16:51

there are no problems, please sign here

16:52

for me. Heruka smiled warmly. It's fine.

16:57

No need to look. As Heruka took the

16:59

signing book, her hand accidentally

17:01

brushed against yours. This shouldn't

17:03

have been a big deal, but when she

17:05

touched your hand, her whole body

17:07

shuddered and her face turned red.

17:09

Instantly, you knew at a glance that the

17:11

peach blossom curse had become very

17:12

severe. And with her husband not

17:14

touching her lately, the imbalance was

17:16

severe, making her extremely sensitive.

17:19

Even that light touch on your hand

17:20

triggered a clear reaction. Heruka,

17:23

afraid you'd notice her abnormality,

17:25

quickly turned away to sign. You thought

17:27

being a security guard was just standing

17:29

at the gate. In reality, most of your

17:31

work was helping residents unclog

17:33

drains. You thought a security guard

17:35

didn't earn much. In reality, you had a

17:38

significant income from helping wealthy

17:40

women with their illnesses. While

17:43

unclogging the drain, you continued to

17:45

quietly observe Haruka. The inheritance

17:47

said that the more beautiful the woman,

17:49

the purer the yin energy. Text repeats

127th. You couldn't help but say softly,

18:53

"I feel you might not be feeling very

18:55

well. Have you been dreaming about

18:57

intimacy lately?" Haruka was startled.

19:00

How did you know? Her face grew even

19:02

redder. She had indeed been having such

19:05

dreams, but it was too embarrassing to

19:07

tell anyone, even Kao. She never

19:09

expected you to guess it just by looking

19:11

at her. You didn't hide it. Your

19:14

situation is easy to guess. Because of a

19:16

hormonal imbalance and a peach blossom

19:18

curse someone put on you, such dreams

19:20

are normal. People cursed this way have

19:23

an increasing need for intimacy. If we

19:26

don't break the curse, in half a month,

19:28

you won't be able to control yourself.

19:30

Even a man brushing against your hand

19:32

will make you want to jump into his

19:33

arms. Haruka, being highly educated, was

19:36

skeptical about the curse, believing it

19:38

to be superstition. But when she touched

19:41

your hand, she really did feel that

19:43

urge. Although she suppressed it, her

19:45

body reacted significantly. She had to

19:48

believe it was real. Can this curse be

19:50

broken? Please help me. I will pay

19:53

whatever is needed, you thought. It was

19:55

a primary level curse, not hard to

19:57

break, but it required two weeks of

19:58

treatment. If you trust me, I can try.

20:01

Huruka was overjoyed. I trust you. How

20:04

much will it cost? You laughed. [music]

20:06

In the countryside, we never set a price

20:08

for such things. It's always up to the

20:10

person to decide. Haruka added your

20:13

WeChat without further questions and

20:14

immediately transferred 100,000. Seeing

20:17

her transfer the money so easily, your

20:20

impression of her deepened. Miss Haruka,

20:23

aren't you afraid I'm a scammer? Haruka

20:25

looked at you with a cute, puzzled

20:26

expression. A scammer? Because she had

20:29

been so protected by her wealthy family,

20:31

she didn't know the world's malice and

20:34

at nearly 30 was as simple as a young

20:36

girl. Her simplicity made you hesitant

20:39

to trick her. Miss Haruka, the world is

20:42

full of scammers. Don't be so trusting

20:44

in the future. Haruka looked at you. Are

20:46

you a scammer then? Seeing how innocent

20:49

she was, you joked. I'm the biggest

20:51

scammer in the city. You've fallen for

20:52

it this time. Haruka's expression

20:54

changed to one of alertness. You

20:57

laughed. Just joking. Don't be nervous.

20:59

I won't accept this 100,000 yet. Let me

21:01

do the first treatment. If it works,

21:03

then I'll take the money. Haruka

21:05

breathed a sigh of relief. You scared

21:08

me. After this small incident, the

21:10

tension between you naturally faded. You

21:13

felt her trust grow. Miss Haruka, if you

21:16

don't mind, let's start. I have things

21:18

to do this afternoon, so you'll need to

21:20

change into a thinner top and lie on the

21:22

bed. I need to draw the talisman on your

21:25

back. Haruka blushed.

21:28

Wait a moment. She went into the bedroom

21:30

and returned wearing a translucent white

21:33

tank top, covering her chest with her

21:35

hand.

21:36

Is this okay? Seeing her in that tank

21:38

top, your heart skipped a beat. Heruka

21:41

was about 1.65 m tall, slightly shorter

21:44

than Rancco. You thought her figure

21:45

might be less lush, but you realized she

21:48

was just as full as Rancco. You were

21:50

stunned. Haruka saw you staring and

21:52

blushed even more. Shiao Ren, is this

21:55

okay? You woke up and nodded. That's

21:58

fine. Please lie on the bed and expose

22:00

your back. Haruka gasped, clearly not

22:03

expecting to have to expose her back.

22:05

You knew she was shy. Miss Haruka, I am

22:08

a doctor and you are the patient. If

22:10

you're too embarrassed for this, you'll

22:11

have to find someone else to break the

22:13

curse. Haruka panicked. Wait. She

22:16

quickly lay down on the bed. You began

22:18

giving instructions. Close your eyes and

22:20

focus. I'm going to start. Don't speak

22:23

or open your eyes until I say so, or the

22:25

energy will leak. Peruka hummed and

22:27

closed her eyes, but she was anxious.

22:29

She was worried that if she felt that

22:30

urge again, she wouldn't be able to

22:32

control herself and would pounce on you.

22:34

You gathered a small amount of energy

22:35

and began drawing the talisman on her

22:38

smooth porcelain back. If your spiritual

22:41

energy were stronger, you could have

22:42

broken the curse in one go. But as a

22:44

beginner, you had to do it in phases.

22:46

The person who cast the curse was much

22:48

stronger than you, so you had to be

22:50

methodical. As your fingers touched her

22:52

back, a faint white light like fireflies

22:55

in the night appeared. Haruka gripped

22:57

her hands, fearing she would lose

22:59

control. But when your finger touched

23:01

her back, she was surprised to find that

23:04

[music] instead of an urge, a cool

23:06

energy flowed into her body, making her

23:08

feel exceptionally calm. Haruka was

23:11

naturally coldnatured. But for the past

23:13

2 weeks, her urges had been intense. The

23:16

coolness from your finger brought back a

23:18

long lost peace. After half an hour, you

23:21

said it was finished, and she opened her

23:22

eyes. The urge was completely gone. It

23:26

really works. Thank you so much.

23:29

She blushed and didn't dare look at you,

23:32

wanting to thank you, but not knowing

23:33

how, she said awkwardly, "Ahham, there

23:35

are drinks in the fridge. I'll get you

23:37

one and rushed to the kiten." Before she

23:40

could even get there, a car horn sounded

23:42

from the garage. "Honey, they said the

23:44

drain was clogged. Is it fixed yet?"

23:46

Kaio shouted before even entering the

23:48

house. Haruko was shocked. "Run through

23:51

the back door. My husband is incredibly

23:53

jealous. If he knows you were here,

23:54

he'll be furious. You wanted to use the

23:57

chance to anger him. But seeing Haruka's

23:59

pleading face, you gave in and hurried

24:01

out the back with your tools. However,

24:04

the moment you got back to the guard

24:05

booth, Kaiito chased you down. You

24:08

bastard. Who told you to go to my house?

24:10

You looked at Kaio and spoke

24:11

intentionally. Mr. Kao, you're being

24:14

unreasonable. Your wife invited me to

24:16

unclog the drain. Maybe you should ask

24:18

her. And by the way, are you okay? If

24:21

you can't even unclog your own drain,

24:23

why ask me? You said it with a mocking

24:26

double-meaning expression. Kaiito was

24:28

livid. He hated being told he wasn't up

24:31

to the task. Enraged, he swung a fist at

24:34

you. You had the inheritance now. Though

24:37

your spiritual energy was minimal, your

24:39

physical strength far exceeded an

24:41

ordinary man's. You moved before he

24:43

could land the punch and kicked him to

24:44

the ground. Just as you were about to

24:46

teach him more, two guards held you

24:48

back. He's a resident. If you hit a

24:51

[music] resident, you'll be fired. Kaio,

24:54

seeing you being held, grabbed a stick

24:56

and swung it at your head. You used the

24:58

two guards as leverage and delivered a

25:00

double kick to Kaio's stomach, sending

25:03

him crashing to the ground. It was a

25:05

heavy blow. He screamed in pain. Kid,

25:08

you dare hit me, I'll have you locked up

25:10

today. He immediately started making a

25:13

call. Half an hour later, a police car

25:15

pulled up. A man and a woman got out.

25:17

The leading male officer was in his 40s

25:19

with sharp eyes. The female officer

25:22

following him was under 30 with a

25:23

capable short haircut. Kao ran up to

25:26

them. Officer Leo, this kid just hit me.

25:29

The officer looked at you. Why did you

25:31

hit him? Worried that they knew each

25:32

other. You were relieved when he asked

25:34

why you hit him instead of simply

25:36

arresting you. I didn't start it. I

25:38

acted in self-defense. It was a mutual

25:40

fight and he simply lost. Kaiito

25:42

shouted, "Bullshit."

25:45

As if I couldn't beat a dog like you.

25:48

You're just a gatekeeper. dare to fight

25:50

back. Believe me, I'll kill you."

25:54

Officer Sato stopped the frantic Kao.

25:57

"Mr. Kao, swearing is beneath you. Let's

26:00

look at the surveillance footage." Kaio

26:02

whispered in his ear, "Brother, no need

26:04

for footage. Just one word from you is

26:07

enough. This kid has no money or

26:09

background. Give me some face. Lock him

26:11

up for a few days, and I'll treat you to

26:13

dinner later." Since you're Heruka's

26:16

cousin, you can at least do me this

26:17

favor. Hearing that officer Sato was

26:19

Heruka's cousin, you felt worried. But

26:22

to your surprise, the officer showed no

26:24

favor. "Mr. Kao, we must act impartially

26:27

as state officials. Even if you were my

26:29

own brother, we'd still do things by the

26:31

book. If you're right, I'll help you."

26:34

He turned and headed to the security

26:35

room. You frowned. The officer's

26:38

attitude was ambiguous. You didn't know

26:40

if he intended to be just or if he was

26:42

still going to favor Kaido. If he chose

26:44

the latter, you were in real trouble. In

26:47

reality, the officer's cold attitude

26:49

wasn't just for justice. His cousin

26:51

Haruka had already called him and told

26:53

him not to make things difficult for

26:55

you. She had been following her husband.

26:58

And when she saw him call the police,

27:00

she realized he would call her cousin.

27:02

So, she acted first to protect you.

27:04

Kenji was an inherently righteous man.

27:07

Seeing Hiroshi's arrogant verbal abuse

27:09

toward you, [music] he could already

27:11

guess that Hiroshi was the one looking

27:12

for trouble. After checking the

27:14

surveillance, Kenji looked at Hiroshi.

27:17

President Hiroshi, it's not that I don't

27:19

want to help you, but the fact is they

27:21

are right. It was indeed you who struck

27:24

first. This counts as self-defense.

27:28

Forget about you just being injured.

27:29

Even if you had been killed, you

27:31

couldn't blame them. [music] Hiroshi was

27:33

stunned upon hearing this. However, he

27:36

also knew Kenji's character. He was very

27:38

rigid and only spoke the truth without

27:40

showing any favoritism.

27:42

Even so, Hiroshi had no intention of

27:45

letting you off. Kid, you got lucky

27:48

today. Just you wait. I'll show you how

27:50

I'll deal with you. After saying [music]

27:52

this, Hiroshi turned and left. After

27:54

Hiroshi left, Kenji went to the side to

27:56

make a phone call. Your hearing was

27:58

exceptional. And although the two of you

28:00

were tens of meters apart, you still

28:02

heard the content of Kenji's

28:03

conversation with Hiroshi's wife, Chioo.

28:06

Only then did you realize that the

28:08

reason Inspector Kenji had insisted on

28:10

fairness was because Chiyoko had

28:12

secretly put in a good word for you

28:13

beforehand.

28:15

You couldn't help but feel a renewed

28:17

sense of affection for Chiyoko. Although

28:20

Chioko was Hiroshi's wife, she was

28:22

completely different from him. Hiroshi

28:24

was arrogant and doineering, liked to

28:27

use his power to suppress others, and

28:29

looked down on security guards like you.

28:32

Chiioyoko, however, was very polite to

28:35

security guards and had never made

28:36

things difficult for you. But this

28:38

actually put you in a difficult spot.

28:40

Just now, while dispelling the peach

28:42

blossom curse for Chioko, you discovered

28:45

that the yin energy within her was of

28:47

extremely high quality. If you could win

28:50

Chioko's heart and share a moment of

28:52

intimate union with her, the benefits

28:54

would be far greater than those brought

28:56

to you by Ran. However, because of

28:58

Chioko's character, you didn't feel

29:00

comfortable using those lowly methods to

29:03

obtain her body. Yet, you didn't give

29:05

up. The incident just now made you

29:07

realize that the marital relationship

29:09

between Chioko and Hiroshi didn't seem

29:12

very good. You could use the opportunity

29:14

of dispelling the peach blossom curse to

29:16

gradually develop your relationship with

29:18

her and eventually capture her heart. By

29:21

then, Chioo would offer herself to you

29:23

voluntarily. Since you discovered that

29:25

your childhood sweetheart Yumi had

29:27

betrayed you for money, you had stopped

29:29

believing in love. Now you only wanted

29:32

to make money. And the best way to make

29:34

money quickly was undoubtedly to use the

29:36

inheritance from the old dowist to

29:38

rapidly build your own business

29:40

connections and network in Yamashi. You

29:42

had already made new plans for your

29:44

future. Before, without the Dowist's

29:47

inheritance, all you wanted was to earn

29:49

more money to save enough for a down

29:51

payment on a house in your hometown's

29:52

county so you could marry Yumi. As for

29:55

buying a house in Yamashi, you didn't

29:57

dare to imagine it. The house prices in

29:59

Yamashi were too high. You would even

30:01

dare to think about it back then. Take

30:03

the Unki Villa where you worked as a

30:05

security guard, for example. The house

30:06

prices there were as high as 30,000 yen

30:09

per square meter. The villa where

30:10

Hiroshi's family lived was worth tens of

30:13

millions. It was a figure you hadn't

30:15

even dared to dream of before. But now

30:17

that you had the Daist inheritance, you

30:19

felt that it was not entirely impossible

30:21

to earn enough money to buy a house in

30:23

Yamashi. You adjusted your future plans,

30:25

preparing to save enough money within 5

30:27

years to buy a villa like Hiroshi's.

30:30

However, you did not relax your efforts

30:32

to improve your spiritual cultivation.

30:35

The discovery of the peach blossom curse

30:37

on Chioko earlier alerted you to the

30:39

fact that you were not the only one in

30:41

Yamashi who understood spirit talisman

30:43

techniques.

30:45

At least the mysterious person who

30:47

placed the curse on Chioko also knew the

30:49

art of judging by the curse on Shia. You

30:53

inferred that the mysterious person who

30:54

cast it had at least twice your level of

30:56

power. With such a strong enemy in the

30:59

shadows, you naturally didn't dare to be

31:01

careless. To improve your spiritual

31:04

cultivation, the fastest path right now

31:07

was to find exceptional women like Ran

31:09

and Chioko and engage in intimate union

31:12

with them. The union you had with Ran

31:14

yesterday provided you with a boost that

31:16

could offset 3 months of your own

31:18

practice. The problem was that Ran

31:20

clearly looked down on you, making it

31:23

very difficult to ask her out again. As

31:25

for Chioko, it was even less likely you

31:27

could take her in a day or two. Chioko's

31:30

personality was more conservative and

31:32

you didn't want to hurt her or use

31:34

talismans to force a [music] union. Just

31:36

as you were thinking about how to

31:38

improve your spiritual power, your phone

31:40

chimed. It was actually a transfer

31:42

record sent to you by Ran. You were

31:44

overjoyed. But just as you were about to

31:46

message her, a Porsche sped past,

31:49

splashing a puddle of muddy water all

31:51

over you. Canaro wore a wicked grin. Yo,

31:55

I wondered who it was. It turns out to

31:58

be you, the guard dog. You're not a very

32:01

good guard dog, are you? Didn't you even

32:03

know to greet your master when he

32:05

arrived? You baldled your fists, but

32:07

were held back by your captain, Eegi.

32:10

Ren, you just offended Hiroshi, it's

32:12

hard to say if you'll even keep this

32:13

job. If you offend Lord Canaro as well,

32:16

you'll definitely be fired. You wanted

32:18

to say that even if you were fired, you

32:22

had to teach Canaro a lesson. But Canaro

32:25

had already driven away. With your anger

32:28

pent up and nowhere to vent, you

32:30

immediately thought of Canaro's cold,

32:33

aloof wife, Ran. Since you couldn't take

32:36

it out on Canaro, you'd vent your

32:38

frustration on his wife. Although Ran

32:41

was drunk yesterday, she had been very

32:43

passionate. Later, even though she told

32:46

you not to look for her again, she

32:48

insisted you add her on WeChat. And just

32:51

now, she transferred 2,000 yen to you.

32:54

You speculated that Ran was You

32:56

immediately sent a message to Ran to

32:58

test her attitude. Sister Ran, thank you

33:01

for the money, but I can't accept it.

33:03

Why don't we have dinner together? Are

33:05

you free? Ran's reply was very fast. We

33:08

can have dinner, but I will choose the

33:10

place. You found this amusing. Ran

33:12

appeared strong and always in control,

33:14

but from her earlier warning not to

33:16

contact her again to her immediate

33:18

agreement now, it showed she was

33:20

intoxicated by the pleasure you brought

33:21

her yesterday and couldn't extricate

33:23

herself. No problem, Sister Ran. Just

33:26

send me the location and time when

33:28

you've decided.

33:30

Ran replied quickly. Within 10 minutes,

33:33

she sent the location and time. You knew

33:35

this woman might already be hooked. You

33:37

sent an okay message and went back to

33:39

work while internally pondering what you

33:41

should do tonight. [music] You thought

33:42

being a security guard in the

33:44

residential area meant just guarding the

33:46

gate. In reality, the work you did most

33:48

was helping residents unclog their

33:50

sewers. You thought being a security

33:52

guard wouldn't earn you much income in a

33:54

month. In reality, you had a significant

33:56

income from helping the wealthy women in

33:58

the complex with their ailments. After

34:00

work this evening, you didn't take your

34:02

electric scooter, but hailed a taxi

34:04

directly to the restaurant where you had

34:06

arranged to meet Ran. Ran had chosen a

34:08

Hunan style tea house, which was quite

34:10

far from your complex. You speculated

34:12

that Ran was probably worried about

34:14

running into acquaintances if it were

34:15

too close to home. You didn't wait long

34:17

in the private room before seeing Ran

34:19

push the door open. Ran was wearing a

34:22

pink mid-sleeve top paired with a

34:24

patterned skirt. Simple yet exquisite.

34:27

Her overall attire showcased urban

34:29

fashion, while her brow and demeanor

34:31

faintly exuded the charming aura of a

34:33

mature woman. Seeing Ran's appearance,

34:35

you knew she had dressed up carefully.

34:38

Her long hair was slightly curled, her

34:40

eyes were filled with affection, and her

34:42

lips were beautifully tinted. As the

34:44

saying goes, a woman beautifies herself

34:47

for the one who admires her. When a

34:49

woman dresses up carefully for a man, it

34:52

is often a strong signal she is sending

34:53

him. You both tacitly ordered food and

34:56

ate, chatting about trivial matters.

34:58

After the meal, seeing that Ran made no

35:01

move to leave, you knew she was waiting

35:03

for you to take the initiative. Sister

35:05

Ran, I have an important matter I'd like

35:07

to consult you about, but it's not

35:09

convenient here. Do you think we could

35:11

go somewhere else? Ran naturally

35:14

understood what you meant. Then I'll

35:15

book a room across the street. Just as

35:18

you said you would book the room, Ran

35:20

sent you the room number directly. Then

35:22

she pulled a room card from her bag and

35:24

placed it in front of you. I'll go

35:26

first. You follow in a while. It was

35:28

clear Ran had already booked the room.

35:30

You could understand why she wouldn't

35:31

let you book it. She wanted the pleasure

35:33

you brought her, but didn't trust you,

35:35

fearing you might set up a camera to

35:36

record indecent videos of her. After

35:38

all, your social statuses were worlds

35:40

apart. If you had an intimate union, she

35:43

feared you could blackmail her with it.

35:45

Even though she knew this risk, she

35:47

couldn't resist. It showed how much she

35:49

missed the pleasure you gave her

35:50

yesterday. You waited 10 minutes after

35:52

Ran left before getting up to pay. At

35:54

the counter, you found out she had

35:56

already paid. Upon arriving at the hotel

35:58

across the street, you saw Ran in the

35:59

elevator. Seeing you, she acted as if

36:02

she didn't know you, not even glancing

36:04

your way. You understood she was worried

36:06

about being seen by acquaintances.

36:09

Only after the elevator doors closed did

36:11

she whisper in your ear, "Wait in the

36:14

hallway a bit before coming to open the

36:15

door, and don't walk too close to me."

36:18

Seeing Ran's guarded demeanor, your

36:20

desire for revenge against Fatty Canaro

36:23

grew even stronger. Knowing that

36:25

Kentaro's ex-wife was willing to take

36:27

such risks just to meet you was the

36:30

greatest revenge you could inflict upon

36:31

him. You waited in the corridor for 10

36:33

minutes before using the card to open

36:35

the door. When you pushed it open, Ran

36:38

had changed into a beige silk slip

36:40

dress. Since she was sitting on the edge

36:42

of the bed looking down, you could

36:44

clearly see. Ran looked [music] at you

36:46

with a mysterious smile. Earlier, you

36:49

said you had an important matter to

36:50

consult me about. Now you can tell me.

36:52

Seeing Ran still playing the part, you

36:54

sat down next to her. I just wanted to

36:56

consult you on whether you were

36:57

satisfied with the problem I helped you

36:59

solve last time. Ran blushed slightly,

37:02

but immediately looked up at you boldly.

37:05

I was satisfied enough yesterday. If you

37:07

can satisfy me again today, I'll give

37:09

you a little reward. Once Ran finished

37:11

speaking, she went to undo your clothes,

37:14

but you pushed her down directly.

37:16

Yesterday, she had taken the lead, but

37:18

today you had to seize the initiative.

37:20

You had to teach the arrogant Ran a

37:22

lesson and show her your true strength.

37:24

After an intense exchange, you both had

37:26

a new understanding of each other's

37:28

capabilities. The pleasure left her very

37:30

satisfied, and after the union, your

37:33

spiritual energy increased

37:34

significantly. With your current

37:36

spiritual power, dispelling the curse on

37:38

Chioko would no longer take two weeks.

37:41

At most, one would suffice. Thinking

37:43

about the benefits Ran had brought you,

37:45

you wanted to give her something in

37:46

return. Sister Ran, are you having any

37:48

troubles? If you're in any trouble, you

37:50

can tell me. Maybe I can help you solve

37:52

it. Ran's guard against you had clearly

37:54

dropped, but she didn't trust your

37:56

ability. Still, your initiative made her

37:58

very happy. How is it? Have we only

38:01

spent a few hours together and you want

38:04

to solve my problems? I appreciate your

38:06

intentions, but you and I live in

38:08

different worlds. The trouble I'm facing

38:10

isn't something you can solve. You

38:12

weren't angry. You knew your status was

38:14

far from hers. Seeing that she didn't

38:16

want to tell you about her troubles. You

38:18

didn't ask further. Ran quickly dressed

38:20

and left the hotel. Before she left, she

38:23

tried to transfer money to you, but you

38:25

didn't accept it. Although you knew she

38:26

didn't have real feelings for you and

38:28

only viewed you as a play thing, you had

38:31

gained immense benefits from her. Your

38:33

spiritual power had increased

38:35

drastically. You felt it wasn't right to

38:38

take more of her money. After Ran left,

38:40

you waited another half hour before

38:42

exiting the hotel. Just as you arrived

38:45

at your dormatory, you received a call

38:47

from the manager. You had been fired and

38:49

you had to move out tonight. You weren't

38:51

surprised. Since you hit Hiroshi today,

38:53

the company firing you was to be

38:55

expected. Manager, it's already 9:00 at

38:57

night. I can't find a place to move to

38:59

now. Can I move out tomorrow? The

39:01

manager refused firmly. No, you must

39:04

move out tonight. After that, his tone

39:06

softened. Ren, don't blame me. Hiroshi

39:09

specifically instructed that you move

39:11

out immediately. I have no choice.

39:13

Hiroshi has many connections in Yamashi.

39:15

If I don't comply, I might lose my job,

39:18

too. You understood that this was all

39:20

Hiroshi's doing.

39:21

and you didn't want to make things

39:23

difficult for the property manager. All

39:25

right, you sighed helplessly. I'll pack

39:28

my things and make sure I'm out tonight.

39:30

You didn't have many belongings, just

39:32

two suitcases, one large and one small.

39:35

You tied the small one to the backseat

39:37

of your electric scooter and clamped the

39:39

large one on the front footrest.

39:40

Brother, don't be in such a hurry to

39:42

leave. Someone wants to buy something

39:44

from you. Two men with tattoos on their

39:46

arms blocked your path with steel pipes.

39:48

I have nothing to sell. If you want to

39:50

buy something, go to a store. Seeing the

39:53

thugs blocking your way, you knew

39:55

nothing good was coming. You didn't want

39:56

to linger and twisted the handlebar to

39:58

leave. But the taller thug snatched your

40:01

suitcase from the scooter. He pulled out

40:03

a folding knife and sneered. Someone

40:05

wants to buy two of your fingers. They

40:08

don't sell those at a store. You weren't

40:10

surprised. Since Hiroshi was a boss,

40:12

[music] he naturally had some local

40:14

influence. Why would he settle for just

40:16

getting you fired? Did Hiroshi send you?

40:19

As soon as you spoke, Hroshi walked out

40:21

from an alley across the street. Kid,

40:24

you're not stupid. I'll give you a

40:26

chance today. If you kneel and

40:28

apologize, I'll cut off one less finger.

40:31

After all, your girlfriend was quite

40:33

satisfying when I You didn't get angry.

40:37

Yumi's ruthlessness had left you with no

40:39

attachment to her. Sorry, Yumi isn't my

40:42

girlfriend anymore. She's yours now.

40:45

Speaking of women, Hiroshi, your wife's

40:47

figure is quite nice and her touch is

40:49

first class. I think with your physique,

40:52

you probably can't satisfy her. No

40:55

wonder you still don't have children. Do

40:57

you want me to help you? Hitting

40:58

Hiroshi's nerve, he exploded in rage.

41:01

Beat him. Break one of this kid's legs,

41:03

and I'll give you each 5,000. The

41:05

cameras in this area are broken. Go

41:06

ahead. The two thugs rushed at you with

41:09

steel pipes. However, you were no longer

41:11

the simple security guard you once were.

41:14

The Tauist inheritance included not only

41:16

magical talismans but also formidable

41:18

ancient martial arts. Before they could

41:21

reach you, you stepped [music] forward.

41:23

Within a few strikes, you had

41:25

neutralized both of them. Hiroshi was

41:28

shocked. Seeing you approaching step by

41:30

step, he turned to run. But before he

41:33

could get far, you grabbed his collar

41:35

and slammed him to the ground. Hiroshi,

41:38

you said the surveillance here was

41:39

broken, right? Then if I break your leg,

41:42

I won't have to be held responsible,

41:44

right? You picked up a steel pipe as you

41:46

spoke. Hiroshi's face turned pale. Ren,

41:49

I was just joking. Don't take it

41:51

seriously. I'll give you money if you

41:52

let me go. Seeing him so terrified, you

41:54

pressed the pipe against his chest.

41:56

Knowing regret now, huh? Weren't you

41:58

very arrogant just a moment ago? Just as

42:01

you were about to teach him a lesson,

42:02

you heard a shout from behind. Don't

42:03

move. Hands up. I'm a police officer.

42:05

You turned to see a middle-aged

42:07

policeman rushing toward you with a

42:09

baton. Hiroshi seized the chance to

42:11

scream, "Officer, you're just in time.

42:14

This kid tried to rob me. You must

42:16

uphold justice for me." When the officer

42:19

heard about a robbery, his expression

42:20

turned stern, and he moved to restrain

42:23

you. You quickly explained, "Don't

42:25

believe this guy's lies. I wasn't

42:27

robbing him. He hired men to block my

42:30

path and threatened to cut off my

42:31

fingers." His name is Hiroshi, the owner

42:34

of unit 46 at Anki Villa. I used to work

42:38

there as a security guard and we had a

42:41

conflict, which is why he's trying to

42:43

frame me. Seeing that you knew Hiroshi's

42:46

name and his home address, the officer

42:48

realized this wasn't a robbery. If it's

42:51

not a robbery, then it's a brawl. Come

42:54

with me to the station to give a

42:55

statement. He cuffed you and took

42:57

Hiroshi and the two thugs to the station

42:59

as well. It was dawn by the time you

43:01

finished your statement. Just as the

43:03

officer was about to release you, he

43:05

received a phone call.

43:07

He walked outside and after the call, he

43:10

locked you back in while releasing

43:11

Hiroshi and the two thugs. Hiroshi

43:14

looked triumphant.

43:16

Kid, in this world, it's all about

43:17

connections. Raw's strength isn't

43:19

enough. Don't worry. I've already had my

43:21

lawyer file a suit. You'll be in jail

43:23

for intentional injury soon. He walked

43:26

away looking smug. You had overheard

43:28

Hiroshi speaking to a chief's son,

43:30

demanding he punish you. Although you

43:32

knew it was a setup, you had no

43:34

connections or assets in Yamashi to

43:35

compete with him. You had the dowist

43:37

inheritance, but it couldn't help you

43:39

with legal matters. Hiroshi was right.

43:42

In this era, connections were

43:44

everything. You reminded yourself to

43:46

strive for success. Otherwise, as an

43:49

ordinary person facing a boss like

43:51

Hiroshi, you'd always be the victim of

43:53

his underhanded tactics. You were

43:55

furious, but you needed a way out. One

43:58

person could help. Hiroshi's wife,

44:00

Chioo. Her cousin, Kenji, was a police

44:03

station chief. You didn't know if he

44:05

covered this area, but his influence was

44:07

far greater than Hiroshi's. You sent a

44:09

message to Chioko. You had wanted to

44:11

call, but it was barely 6:00 in the

44:13

morning, so you opted for a message

44:16

detailing Hiroshi's setup. Chioo replied

44:19

quickly. I am so sorry. This is all

44:22

because you helped me. I'll call my

44:24

cousin now.

44:26

10 minutes later, you were released. The

44:29

officer said, I advise you not to

44:31

provoke Kroshi in the future. He has

44:33

money and power. You'll always lose. You

44:36

knew the officer meant well, but you

44:38

didn't plan to let Hiroshi off. He had

44:40

taken your girlfriend and tried to frame

44:41

you for a felony. There was no way you

44:43

were letting that slide. First, you

44:45

needed a place to stay. You also had to

44:47

fulfill your promise to Chioo. You knew

44:50

the mysterious person who cursed her was

44:52

powerful, and you had to consider them

44:53

before launching a full-scale

44:54

counterattack against Hiroshi. You

44:56

prefer to be cautious. Leaving the

44:58

station, you rode your scooter to

45:00

Sandun, a village within the city near

45:02

Uni Villa. It was just a temporary fix.

45:05

[music] You rented a room, paid the

45:07

deposit, and went to get food. Outside

45:10

the complex, someone called your name.

45:12

It was your [music] captain, Eg.

45:14

Captain, you live here, too? Ag

45:18

enthusiastic. I've lived here for years.

45:21

You haven't eaten? Come over for a

45:23

drink. I'm sorry I couldn't save your

45:25

job, but your peach blossom luck might

45:28

be coming. A beautiful female owner came

45:30

to the office today asking for your

45:32

contact info. Ag teased, keeping the

45:35

woman's identity a secret. You followed

45:37

him to his rented room in a farmhouse

45:39

building. Across the hall lived a young

45:42

couple. The husband was a butcher and

45:44

the wife was a housewife. As you walked

45:47

up, you saw the young woman, Moco,

45:49

playing with her phone on the bed. She

45:51

was average in looks but had a very

45:53

voluuptuous figure. Eg shouted across

45:55

the hall. Moka, my buddy is over for

45:58

dinner. Don't cook. Join us. Your

46:00

husband and son aren't coming home for

46:01

lunch anyway. She agreed [music] and

46:03

came over. You greeted her politely. As

46:06

she passed you, you immediately sensed

46:08

she had an affair with Eig.

46:11

The lingering scent of his energy was

46:12

undeniable, a residue only someone with

46:15

your inheritance could identify. You

46:18

weren't a busy body, so you kept this to

46:20

yourself. Moko was industrious and soon

46:23

she had two dishes ready. EG poured

46:25

drinks. Hiroshi has too much influence.

46:28

I tried to talk to the manager, but he

46:30

said he couldn't afford to offend him.

46:31

This is all my fault. You felt bad for

46:33

EG's self-reroach. Captain, maybe it's a

46:36

blessing in disguise. I might do better

46:37

outside the villa. You had full

46:39

confidence in your future. You were

46:41

already planning to help EG once you

46:43

succeeded. EG's phone rang. He walked

46:45

downstairs to answer. His voice was

46:47

hushed. Hiroshi, I've lured Ren here for

46:50

drinks as planned. I'll drug his wine

46:52

and the woman's, too. Then I'll put him

46:53

in her bed and take photos to send to

46:55

the husband. He's a violent butcher.

46:58

Once he sees the photos, he'll

47:00

definitely break Ren's hand. Hiroshi's

47:02

voice came through, sounding [music]

47:03

satisfied. Excellent. If you succeed,

47:06

I'll give you 10,000 yen and tell your

47:08

manager to give you a raise. EG was

47:10

ecstatic. You had heard everything

47:12

clearly. You smirked. You were a changed

47:14

man and you wouldn't fall for these

47:16

petty tricks. However, you wouldn't

47:18

leave just yet. You had to teach Hiroshi

47:21

and Ag lesson. EG returned and the meal

47:24

continued. Mooko wasn't a heavy drinker

47:27

and soon became tipsy. Eg helped her

47:29

back to her room and returned. When you

47:32

went to the restroom, he surreptitiously

47:34

drugged your wine, expecting you to pass

47:36

out. You had already noticed and swapped

47:38

the glasses. Soon, EG slumped over the

47:40

table out cold. You moved Eig to

47:43

Motooko's bed, removed their clothes,

47:45

and used his face to unlock his phone.

47:48

You sent the photos to her husband and

47:49

left. Half an hour later, a burly man

47:51

charged up the stairs with a meat

47:53

cleaver. Eg, get out here. You dare to

47:55

sleep with my wife? I'm going to chop

47:57

you up. Eig woke up in a panic to find

48:00

himself naked with MCO. He realized what

48:03

happened and knew you were behind it.

48:05

But since he really was having an affair

48:07

and the butcher's knife was real, he

48:09

turned pale. Tiger, listen to me. I was

48:12

framed. The butcher didn't listen. I

48:16

don't believe your lies. He swung the

48:18

cleaver. Egg, losing all sense of shame,

48:22

threw his clothes at the husband and

48:24

scrambled down the stairs. The husband

48:26

chased him, circling the apartment

48:28

building. Residents came out to watch,

48:30

some even live streaming the event.

48:32

Standing [music] in the crowd, "You

48:33

found the scene hilarious. Eg had

48:35

brought this upon himself. He deserved

48:37

it for trying to set you up." The police

48:38

arrived and stopped the butcher who

48:40

collapsed panting. The neighbors laughed

48:43

at the naked Ee until the police

48:45

dispersed the crowd. Remembering your

48:47

appointment with Chioo. You checked your

48:48

phone. She had already called. Ren, are

48:50

you free? When is it convenient for you

48:52

to come and dispel the curse? I'm free

48:54

all day and evening. Sister Chiyoko,

48:57

when are you free? Chioo shook her head.

48:59

I'll come to you. My husband nearly

49:01

misunderstood last time and you lost

49:03

your job. Let's meet at a hotel this

49:05

time. You immediately recalled ran in

49:06

the hotel room. Was Chioko using this as

49:09

an excuse to play games, too. You

49:11

thought being a security guard meant

49:12

just guarding the gate. In reality, you

49:15

did more to help residents with their

49:16

plumbing. You thought it didn't pay

49:17

well. In reality, you earned a lot from

49:19

your medical services. Yet, when helping

49:22

Chio, you were caught by her jealous

49:24

husband, Hiroshi, which led to you being

49:26

fired. "Sure, Sister Chioko, book a room

49:29

and send me the address." "Okay." She

49:32

sent the details shortly after. When you

49:33

arrived, Chioko was already there,

49:36

wearing loose loungewear, her hair damp

49:38

from a shower, carrying the scent of

49:40

bath soap. Seeing you, she gave a

49:42

gentle, shy smile. You understood that

49:44

the curse was flaring up again. But you

49:47

kept your intentions strictly

49:48

professional. Initially, you wanted to

49:50

use this to get back at Hiroshi, but

49:51

after spending time with Chioo, you

49:53

realized she was a genuinely kind woman.

49:56

You wouldn't harm her to get to him. You

49:58

maintained a respectful distance. You

50:00

don't look well today. The curse seems

50:02

worse than yesterday. She sat on the

50:04

bed, blushing. The hotel atmosphere made

50:06

things feel a bit different. Sister

50:08

Chioo, please lie on the bed. I need to

50:10

use the talisman. She complied and

50:12

pulled up her shirt. Your heart skipped

50:14

a beat, and you focused your gaze

50:16

elsewhere, taking deep breaths to calm

50:19

yourself. Once calm, you began drawing

50:21

the talisman on her back. [music] You

50:23

realized the curse was indeed stronger,

50:25

confirming it was more difficult to

50:27

break than you had thought. Thankfully,

50:29

your union with Ran had boosted your

50:31

energy, or you wouldn't have been able

50:33

to suppress it. [music] Even so, it took

50:35

great effort. When finished, you were

50:37

covered in sweat. "How are you feeling?"

50:39

she whispered. "Much better" and hurried

50:42

into the bathroom, blushing. When she

50:44

came out, she had changed into a beige

50:46

sleeveless top and a skirt. "Looking

50:49

incredibly elegant." "Sister Chioko, you

50:52

look beautiful. Your sense of style is

50:54

wonderful." She blushed with delight.

50:57

Her marriage was a hollow shell, and

51:00

Hiroshi was unfaithful. She hadn't heard

51:03

such sincere compliments in years.

51:06

Most men either fawned over her beauty

51:08

or were intimidated by her status. You

51:12

treated her like a normal friend. You're

51:14

a smooth talker. Do a lot of girls like

51:16

you? You shook your head earnestly. Not

51:19

at all. In my heart, compared to you,

51:21

other girls pale in comparison. She shot

51:23

you a glance, but was pleased. I heard

51:25

you were fired because of my husband. A

51:27

friend of mine runs a real estate

51:28

business and needs a reliable driver. I

51:31

can recommend you. The pay is better

51:33

than security work. You shook your head.

51:35

I don't want to work for others anymore.

51:37

I've suffered enough in Yamashi for 4

51:39

years. I want to try starting my own

51:41

business. Shyoko's eyes brightened.

51:44

That's a good attitude. With your

51:46

yin-yang fune skills, you can easily

51:48

establish yourself in Yamashi's elite

51:50

circles. The rich here really believe in

51:53

this. Register a company and I'll take

51:56

you to some parties. My friends own

51:58

companies. They'll love to work with

52:00

you. She tapped the table thinking. What

52:03

kind of business should we start? You

52:05

smiled. I've worked many odd jobs.

52:08

Delivery, construction, warehouse

52:10

loading, but mostly renovation. I worked

52:12

for a guy from my hometown for 2 years.

52:15

I can handle plumbing, painting, and

52:16

flooring, though I'm not a master. Her

52:19

eyes lit up. Then let's do renovation.

52:21

You were concerned. [music]

52:22

The market is competitive. That's why my

52:25

friend had to go home. Don't

52:26

underestimate me. With my connections,

52:28

we won't lack business. I can easily

52:31

pull in 30 million yen in high profit

52:33

orders a year. You were stunned. Sister,

52:36

you're amazing. She was delighted. I'll

52:38

handle the orders and the registration,

52:40

but you must ensure quality. Since you

52:43

don't have a team, I suggest we partner

52:45

with a major company and subcontract the

52:47

work, taking a share of the profit.

52:50

Yumi's company, Sinichi Renovation, is

52:53

one of the top three listed in Yamashi.

52:55

How about them? Chioko nodded. That's a

52:59

great choice. I've worked with them

53:01

before. How much to register a company

53:03

like that? You asked. She held up three

53:05

fingers. For high-end orders, the

53:08

registered capital can't be less than 3

53:10

million. 3 million? You were worried.

53:14

Your life savings barely totaled 10,000

53:16

yen, including the 7,000 Ren gave you.

53:19

It was an astronomical figure. Chioko

53:21

saw your distress. Don't worry about the

53:23

money. I'll cover it and you can pay me

53:25

back once the company is profitable.

53:27

Just give me your ID and I'll handle the

53:29

registration. You just need to check out

53:31

the designers at Sinichi. You nodded.

53:34

You felt a bit like a kept man, but

53:37

knowing you'd pay her back relieved the

53:39

burden. You discussed the plans and then

53:40

went to dinner. Chioko was much more

53:43

relaxed than [music] ran and didn't mind

53:45

being seen with you. Before leaving the

53:47

hotel, she said, "I've booked this room

53:48

for a year. It'll be convenient for your

53:50

treatments. If you don't mind, you can

53:51

stay here instead of the village." You

53:53

took the card, thinking, "Being rich is

53:55

nice." You would have agonized over a

53:58

five-star hotel room, but she booked it

54:00

for a year. You declined to stay,

54:02

preferring the vibrancy of the village.

54:04

You felt grounded there, and the

54:06

atmosphere was better for your

54:07

cultivation. Back at the village, you

54:09

were buying cigarettes when you saw

54:11

three or four men blocking the shop

54:12

entrance. Owner, your husband's 50,000

54:16

yen debt is three months overdue. If you

54:18

don't pay today, we'll find other ways.

54:21

You saw the dragon and tiger tattoos on

54:23

their arms and knew they were trouble.

54:25

You were about to leave, but the shop

54:27

owner spoke and you paused. Seven. I

54:29

really don't have the money. Please,

54:32

another half a month. Once I transfer

54:34

the shop, I'll pay you back immediately.

54:36

You peaked in. The voice was familiar.

54:39

It was your old neighbor, Caori. You

54:41

remembered her from high school with her

54:43

red hair clip and fashionable coat. As a

54:46

teenager, you dreamed of her. She had

54:49

left after getting married, and you

54:51

hadn't seen her since. You looked in and

54:53

saw the face you remembered. She was

54:55

wearing an old red shirt, but her mature

54:56

charm was evident. Her figure was

54:58

accentuated by her jeans. She was almost

55:01

as beautiful as Chioko and ran. Memories

55:04

flooded back and you were excited to see

55:06

her. The thug at the door glared at you.

55:09

Kid, are you blind? Can't you see we're

55:11

busy? You didn't flinch, pushing past

55:13

him effortlessly. You do your thing. I'm

55:16

just here for cigarettes. You walked up

55:18

to Cowry. Cowry, it's been a long time.

55:21

Do you remember me? She recognized you

55:23

instantly, but fearing for your safety,

55:25

said, "You've mistaken me for someone

55:28

else, kid." She turned to the leader,

55:30

"Take whatever you want from the shop.

55:32

Just give me a few more days." The man,

55:34

Sato 7, was a collector for a debt

55:36

agency. He used to be a protection money

55:38

thug. Seven sneered. Your shop isn't

55:41

worth 10,000 yen total. You're pretty,

55:44

so I'll give you a way out. Work at my

55:46

boss's place for a month and you'll earn

55:48

20,000 30,000. Pay off the debt in 3

55:52

months. My boss hi said if you're

55:54

willing, he'll guarantee 20,000 a month.

55:57

How's that? Cory turned pale. She knew

56:01

what kind of work it was. Seven. I can't

56:04

do that kind of money. Please give me

56:05

more time. Seven raised his hand to

56:08

strike her. You don't appreciate the

56:10

favor? You acted quickly, grabbing his

56:12

wrist before he could hit her. If she

56:15

doesn't want to, why force her? Seven

56:16

glared at you. Kid, you dare interfere?

56:20

Are you tired of living? He struggled to

56:23

pull his hand away, but couldn't. As he

56:25

prepared to signal his men, you let go.

56:28

Seven. Have you been feeling cold lately

56:30

and having nightmares at night? Seven

56:32

was stunned. How did you know? Because

56:35

your lifestyle has made you physically

56:36

weak, you said calmly. Seven was

56:39

embarrassed, especially in front of his

56:41

friends. His face turned red. You're the

56:44

one who's weak. Are you looking for

56:46

death? You ignored him. If I'm not

56:48

mistaken, you've been to several

56:50

hospitals, but nothing worked, right?

56:52

You stayed silent, pride keeping him

56:54

from admitting it. Was I wrong? Then I

56:56

can't help you. You shook your head,

56:59

looking regretful. Seeing your reaction,

57:02

he couldn't help but ask, "If someone

57:04

has this problem, how do you treat it?"

57:06

You spoke profoundly. It's not a major

57:08

illness, just some evil energy. If not

57:11

dispelled, it will drain your vitality.

57:13

In a month, your energy will be gone.

57:16

You'll only live another month at most.

57:18

Seven pald. You mean I only have 2

57:21

months left? You shook your head. That's

57:23

the best case scenario. If you keep

57:25

fighting people, it'll be even faster.

57:28

At most one month, seven panicked. How

57:31

do I know you're not lying? Fate finds

57:33

those meant to be saved. If you don't

57:35

believe me, forget I said anything. You

57:37

started to leave. Panicstricken, seven

57:39

blocked you. Please save me. You were

57:41

right about everything else. You

57:43

inspected him. The evil energy you've

57:46

picked up belongs to the water element.

57:49

You need a earth element, spiritual item

57:52

to suppress it. Where do I find such an

57:55

item? You pointed at a jade disc in the

57:58

display. [music]

57:58

Cowori, may I see that jade disc? Caori

58:01

was stunned. She hadn't seen the fat kid

58:04

from the village in 5 years. She had no

58:07

idea he had such powers. She hurriedly

58:09

handed it to you. You took it and said,

58:11

"What a pity." COI, this cost you at

58:13

least 50,000 yen, right? Cowori was

58:15

shocked. She had bought it for 50 yen,

58:18

but seeing your wink, she caught on. I I

58:22

don't know the exact value. A friend

58:24

gave it to me. You held the jade in your

58:26

left hand and formed a hand seal with

58:28

your right, drawing a talisman onto the

58:30

jade. The energy formed a white glow as

58:33

if carved by a laser. Seven was no

58:36

longer skeptical.

58:38

>> You finished the talisman, wiped the

58:40

sweat from your brow and handed it to

58:41

Seven. Seven, hold this against your

58:44

chest. He did, and his face lit up. This

58:47

jade is warm. How is this possible? This

58:50

jade is of the earth element. The

58:52

perfect counter to your water evil. Wear

58:55

it for 10 days and the evil will be

58:57

gone. Your illness will be cured. Seven

59:00

was overjoyed. Master, what is your fee?

59:03

You had only wanted to help Caori. I

59:06

usually charge 100,000 for exorcism, but

59:09

since you're a friend of Caoris, I won't

59:11

charge you. Just pay her 50,000 for the

59:14

jade disc. Seven turn to Caori. owner.

59:18

I'll use this jade to settle the debt.

59:20

Is that okay? Having seen your display,

59:23

he was much more respectful. Caori

59:25

nodded quickly. She was thrilled to get

59:27

50,000 yen for something she bought for

59:29

50. Fearing she might change her mind,

59:31

Seven quickly pulled out the debt note

59:33

and handed it to her. Kangyoko was

59:35

overjoyed and hurriedly took the IOU to

59:38

tear it up. Then she said to you, "Kao,

59:41

thank you so much. If it weren't for

59:43

you, I wouldn't know what to do." Kao,

59:45

have you had dinner? Why don't I treat

59:47

you to a meal? As she spoke, Kung Yokuo

59:51

began packing up her things to prepare

59:52

to close the shop. The debt of 50,000

59:55

yen had been weighing her down until she

59:57

could barely breathe. Now that you had

59:59

solved this debt for her, she was deeply

1:00:02

grateful from the bottom of her heart

1:00:03

and wanted to express her thanks

1:00:05

properly. Just as you were about to say

1:00:07

you had already eaten, Sati leaned in

1:00:09

again. Master, my boss has a female

1:00:12

secretary who also recently became

1:00:15

possessed. Whenever she has an episode,

1:00:17

she starts throwing things and biting

1:00:19

people. Could you please take a look at

1:00:21

her, too? You did not refuse when you

1:00:23

heard this, but you still needed to keep

1:00:26

up the facade of a master.

1:00:28

I can take a look, but the free

1:00:30

treatment I gave to brotherqi just now

1:00:32

was out of respect for Sister Yo. If

1:00:35

your boss wants me to exercise a spirit

1:00:38

from his secretary, he will have to pay

1:00:40

the standard fee. However, I am always

1:00:43

fair in my dealings. If the exorcism has

1:00:46

no effect, I won't take a single penny.

1:00:49

You can call your boss first and ask if

1:00:51

he can accept my fee. I will try to help

1:00:53

his secretary. Although you didn't plan

1:00:55

on making a living solely through

1:00:57

exorcisms, you were willing to give it a

1:00:59

try since you could earn 100,000 yen so

1:01:01

easily. Although Shiro Mashiro was

1:01:04

already preparing to register a company

1:01:06

for you, you were currently short on

1:01:08

cash. Being able to earn this 100,000

1:01:10

yen would immediately make your

1:01:12

situation much more comfortable. Ryuku

1:01:14

Kiuchi hurried outside to make a call. 5

1:01:18

minutes later, he jogged back in.

1:01:20

"Master, my boss said that as long as

1:01:23

you can cure his secretary's illness, he

1:01:25

is willing to pay not just 100,000, but

1:01:28

200,000." You said a few words to

1:01:30

Kanangyoku before getting into Sati's

1:01:33

car. Ryukiuchi drove you to an old

1:01:35

street and led you into a maong parlor.

1:01:38

Boss, I've brought Master Ren. A

1:01:40

middle-aged man who was playing Maong

1:01:42

stood up. The man was in his 30s or 40s,

1:01:44

wearing glasses and looked quite

1:01:45

scholarly, though his small eyes

1:01:47

revealed a sharp cunning. Master Ren,

1:01:49

nice to meet you. I am Kito Nishimura,

1:01:52

Satoshi's boss. Sati must have told you

1:01:55

about the situation, right? I don't know

1:01:57

what happened to my secretary. A few

1:01:59

days ago, she suddenly became possessed.

1:02:02

She has episodes from time to time.

1:02:04

Whenever she does, she smashes things

1:02:06

everywhere and bites people. I

1:02:08

previously invited two other masters,

1:02:10

and they both said she was possessed.

1:02:12

But after they performed rituals, she

1:02:14

didn't get any better. If Master Ren can

1:02:16

cure my secretary, I will definitely

1:02:18

reward you generously. A young man with

1:02:21

dyed yellow hair nearby glanced at you

1:02:23

with disdain. This guy looks like a

1:02:25

bumpkin. You actually dare to believe

1:02:27

his words? The two masters I hired last

1:02:30

time were high-ranking monks brought at

1:02:32

great expense from famous mountain

1:02:33

[music] temples. Even they couldn't cure

1:02:36

her illness. How could this brat

1:02:38

possibly do it? Brother-in-law, don't be

1:02:41

fooled by this peasant. You had thought

1:02:42

that being a security guard at an

1:02:44

apartment complex was just about sitting

1:02:46

at the gate. But the work you did most

1:02:48

often was helping tenants clear their

1:02:50

clogged drains. You had thought that

1:02:51

working as a security guard wouldn't

1:02:53

yield much income. But you had a

1:02:55

substantial income from treating wealthy

1:02:57

women. And today, the income from

1:02:59

treating two wealthy women in one day

1:03:02

was astonishing. At this moment, Kido

1:03:04

Nishimura kicked the yellow-haired man.

1:03:06

Shoen Kobayashi, shut your mouth. If you

1:03:09

dare to be disrespectful to Master Ren

1:03:10

again, I'll break your legs myself. The

1:03:13

yellow-haired man stopped talking, but

1:03:15

his eyes were still full of disdain. You

1:03:17

had originally wanted to make Shoen

1:03:19

Kobayashi suffer a little, but seeing Ko

1:03:21

Nishimura take the initiative to get

1:03:22

back at him for you. You decided not to

1:03:25

bother with him. Kito Nishimura

1:03:26

apologized to you. I'm sorry, Master

1:03:28

Ren. My brother-in-law is just like

1:03:30

that. [music] Please don't take it to

1:03:32

heart. Let's head upstairs and see the

1:03:34

patient. You followed them to the second

1:03:35

floor and Ko Nishimura had someone open

1:03:37

the room on the south side. In the room,

1:03:40

a young woman in professional attire sat

1:03:42

on the bed with her hair disheveled.

1:03:44

Because her hair was hanging down, you

1:03:46

couldn't see her face, but judging by

1:03:47

her figure, this young woman must be

1:03:49

quite beautiful. Seeing you walk in, the

1:03:52

woman stared at you with a murderous

1:03:54

glint in her eyes. Kato Nishimura and

1:03:57

his group were so frightened that they

1:03:58

retreated to the doorway. She might bite

1:04:01

again. Kato Nishimura warned you. Before

1:04:04

you could even speak, the woman suddenly

1:04:06

lunged at you like a ferocious beast.

1:04:08

Without waiting for her to reach you,

1:04:10

you quickly pressed a finger onto the

1:04:12

tangue point on her chest. The woman's

1:04:14

whole body instantly went limp and she

1:04:16

collapsed to the floor. Although the

1:04:19

woman lay helplessly on the ground, her

1:04:21

eyes remained fierce and the group still

1:04:23

dared not approach. Master, can you cure

1:04:26

her? You helped the woman onto the bed

1:04:28

to lie down before saying to Kato

1:04:30

Nishimira, "Don't worry. Since I'm here,

1:04:33

I will definitely help her recover. Now,

1:04:36

please go outside. I need to use a

1:04:38

secret family technique to exercise her,

1:04:41

and no one can watch." After Kito

1:04:44

Nishimura, and the others left, you

1:04:46

closed the door and approached the

1:04:47

secretary. Secretary Fun, is it? I know

1:04:51

you aren't possessed. If you tell me why

1:04:53

you are pretending, I might be able to

1:04:55

help you. But if you continue to fake

1:04:57

it, I will have no choice but to expose

1:04:59

you to Ren. As soon as Fun Yuan Yuan

1:05:02

heard this, the murderous look in her

1:05:04

eyes vanished, replaced by a look of

1:05:06

pleading. Master, you absolutely cannot

1:05:09

tell Ren Nen, otherwise his wife will

1:05:11

ruin me. Fun Yan Yuan lowered her head

1:05:14

dejectedly. I graduated from university

1:05:17

last year and was originally working as

1:05:18

a cashier at a supermarket. After I met

1:05:21

Kato Nishimura, he scouted me to be his

1:05:23

secretary. He was very generous and paid

1:05:26

me a salary of 20,000 yen per month,

1:05:28

which was several times higher than what

1:05:30

I earned at the supermarket. So, I was

1:05:32

naturally happy. But later, I realized

1:05:34

that being his secretary meant I not

1:05:35

only had to handle company affairs, but

1:05:37

also had to accompany him in other ways.

1:05:40

A few days ago, Renan snuck into my

1:05:42

room, but it was discovered by his

1:05:44

brother-in-law, Shoen Kobayashi, who

1:05:46

told his sister, "Renan's wife vowed to

1:05:49

sell me off overseas.

1:05:51

I was so scared that I had to pretend to

1:05:53

be possessed. Seeing that Fang Yuan Yuan

1:05:56

sounded sincere, you figured she wasn't

1:05:58

lying to you. Then how do you want me to

1:06:00

help you? Fun Yuan thought for a moment.

1:06:02

I don't want to be the secretary

1:06:04

anymore. If you can convince the boss to

1:06:06

let me leave, I will cooperate with you

1:06:09

and stop pretending. You looked at Fun

1:06:11

Yuan Yuan. Although her hair was still

1:06:13

disheveled, you could tell she was

1:06:15

indeed very beautiful. While she wasn't

1:06:17

quite the rare beauty that Shiro Mashiro

1:06:20

was, she was prettier than your

1:06:22

ex-girlfriend Ryunimi. Both were recent

1:06:25

university graduates. But while Fun Yong

1:06:27

Yuan was also involved in the situation,

1:06:30

she had been tricked into the trap by

1:06:32

Kato Nishimura. In that sense, she was a

1:06:35

100 times better than Ryunimi. As long

1:06:37

as you cooperate with me, I will try my

1:06:40

best to get Kato Nishimura to let you

1:06:42

go."

1:06:43

After saying this, you asked her to lie

1:06:46

face down on the bed. Fong Yuanuan

1:06:48

blushed, thinking you wanted to take

1:06:50

advantage of her. Master Ren, Kato

1:06:53

Nishimura, and the others are right

1:06:54

outside. Her voice grew softer. If you

1:06:58

really want me, can we go to a hotel

1:07:00

after I get out of here? You realized

1:07:02

she had misunderstood. Don't worry, I

1:07:05

have no interest in you. I just saw that

1:07:07

you've been under high mental stress

1:07:08

lately, causing some physical issues,

1:07:10

and I wanted to treat you while I'm at

1:07:12

it. After all, I'm about to collect

1:07:14

100,000 yen from the boss. I'd feel bad

1:07:17

doing nothing. Fun Yuan Yuan was

1:07:19

somewhat skeptical. Master Ren, aren't

1:07:22

you here to exercise spirits? How do you

1:07:24

know how to treat illnesses? You

1:07:25

laughed. What's so strange about that?

1:07:28

The doctors in our village clinic

1:07:30

sometimes even perform spirit calling

1:07:32

rituals. Lately, haven't you been

1:07:35

suffering from dizziness, palpitations,

1:07:37

and chest tightness? Fun Yanuan nodded

1:07:40

quickly. Master N, you are truly

1:07:43

amazing. You knew my symptoms just by

1:07:45

looking at me. Knowing that you were a

1:07:48

real healer, she obediently lay on the

1:07:50

bed, no longer worrying about you

1:07:52

attacking her. Funuan Yuan indeed had a

1:07:55

great figure. Lying there accentuated

1:07:58

her curves, but you didn't have any

1:08:00

intentions toward her. You pushed and

1:08:02

pressed on her back and waist for over

1:08:03

10 minutes before stopping. How do you

1:08:05

feel? Funs face was flushed and her eyes

1:08:09

sparkled. I feel much better. That faint

1:08:12

chest tightness I've had is gone. You

1:08:13

nodded, whispered a few instructions in

1:08:15

her ear, and then opened the door. Kito

1:08:17

Nishimura and his group rushed forward

1:08:20

immediately. How is it? You pointed at

1:08:23

the secretary on the bed. Boss, you can

1:08:26

go see for yourself. I have used a

1:08:28

secret family method to clear the evil

1:08:30

spirits from Secretary Fun. However, to

1:08:33

completely cleanse her, we still need to

1:08:35

hold a ritual. Please prepare some

1:08:38

yellow paper, cineabar, and a peachwood

1:08:41

sword. Kito Nishimura immediately sent

1:08:44

Sati to prepare them. 2 hours later, you

1:08:47

finished the ritual for Fun Yuan, and

1:08:49

she was completely back to normal. Kato

1:08:51

Nishimura was overjoyed, immediately

1:08:54

transferring the 100,000 yen to you on

1:08:56

the spot and also gifting you a piece of

1:08:58

jade jewelry worth several thousand.

1:09:01

You didn't forget the promise you made

1:09:03

to her. Since you are so generous, I'll

1:09:06

give you a word of advice.

1:09:08

Secretary Fun's fate is at odds with

1:09:10

yours. Your eight characters,

1:09:13

astrological compatibility, do not

1:09:15

match. Keeping her by your side will be

1:09:17

detrimental to your business. Hasn't

1:09:20

your business been going poorly lately?

1:09:22

Kishimura nodded repeatedly.

1:09:25

Master Ren, you are absolutely right.

1:09:27

Business has indeed been very difficult

1:09:29

lately. So, it was because of her. I

1:09:32

will get rid of her right now.

1:09:34

As he said this, he immediately called

1:09:36

Fun Yong Yuan over and gave her a sum of

1:09:38

money to leave the company. Fun Yuan Yan

1:09:40

was delighted, but didn't dare show it.

1:09:42

Only after she left the company did she

1:09:44

send you a message of thanks and

1:09:46

transferred an extra 10,000 yen as a

1:09:48

token of gratitude. After chatting with

1:09:50

Ko Nishimura for a while longer, you

1:09:52

took your leave. He walked you all the

1:09:54

way downstairs and had Sato Chi drive

1:09:56

you back. It was past midnight and the

1:10:00

surrounding shops were closed, but Kong

1:10:02

Yoku Yo, yes, small shop still had its

1:10:05

lights on. You knew she was waiting for

1:10:07

you. As soon as you walked in, Kanakyoku

1:10:10

happily greeted you. How did it go? Did

1:10:12

you cure the secretary's problem? You

1:10:15

smiled and nodded. Sister Yo, why

1:10:18

haven't you closed up even this late?

1:10:20

Were you waiting for me? Kong Yoku Yo

1:10:22

blushed, but immediately denied it. Of

1:10:24

course not. I was just in a good mood

1:10:26

today. and wanted to stay open a bit

1:10:28

longer. You knew she wasn't telling the

1:10:30

truth, but you didn't expose her. Sister

1:10:32

Yo, I made a little money from that boss

1:10:35

today. 100,000 yen. Let me treat you to

1:10:38

a late night snack. Kyoku Yo shook her

1:10:41

head.

1:10:42

I'll pass on the snack. I have a bit of

1:10:44

a headache and want to go back and rest.

1:10:46

Only then did you notice her face was

1:10:48

unusually flushed. You reached out and

1:10:50

touched her forehead and were startled.

1:10:52

Sister, yo, your forehead is burning.

1:10:55

You must have a fever. Kanyuku Yo shook

1:10:57

her head weakly. I don't know if it's a

1:11:00

fever. I just feel completely drained of

1:11:02

energy. You quickly steadied her. Sister

1:11:05

Yo, where do you live? I'll take you

1:11:07

back to rest right now. She shook her

1:11:09

head immediately. No need. Just help me

1:11:11

close the shop. I have fever medicine at

1:11:13

home. I'll just take two pills. The

1:11:15

place where Kanguku Yo lived was a dark,

1:11:17

damp basement, and she didn't want you

1:11:20

to see her in such a desperate state.

1:11:22

You didn't insist.

1:11:24

Although you didn't fully know her

1:11:26

heart, you could roughly guess her

1:11:27

thoughts. It was a rare coincidence to

1:11:30

meet in this city. She had already been

1:11:32

seen by you in the embarrassing

1:11:34

situation of beingounded by Sato Chi for

1:11:37

debt in the afternoon, and she really

1:11:39

didn't want you to see her living in a

1:11:41

basement. You helped her close the shop

1:11:42

and rode your bike to take her to a

1:11:44

nearby demolition zone housing complex.

1:11:46

Thank you, Kao. I live in this complex.

1:11:48

I'll treat you to a meal when I have

1:11:50

time tomorrow. Although he used to call

1:11:52

her sister-in-law in the village, her

1:11:54

husband was now deceased and he hadn't

1:11:55

been good to her while alive. He was

1:11:57

lazy, had borrowed 50,000 yen in her

1:12:00

name, and often frequented red light

1:12:02

districts. Kenyuku Yo didn't want you to

1:12:04

call her sister-in-law because she

1:12:06

didn't want to be reminded of those sad

1:12:09

past events. You knew she didn't want

1:12:10

you to know exactly where she lived, so

1:12:12

you didn't insist. After dropping her

1:12:14

off, you rode away, but you didn't

1:12:16

actually leave. Instead, you followed

1:12:19

her quietly from a distance, mainly

1:12:21

worried about her fever. Kjoku Yo waited

1:12:24

until you turned into the alleyway

1:12:25

before walking confidently toward the

1:12:27

basement of an apartment building. The

1:12:29

basement where she lived was very dark

1:12:31

and [music] there were no lights in the

1:12:33

hallway. To make matters worse, there

1:12:35

was a puddle of water on the floor

1:12:36

today. Exhausted by the high fever, she

1:12:39

was finding it difficult to walk.

1:12:41

Stepping into the water, she lost her

1:12:43

balance and fell directly to the floor.

1:12:45

Kenyoku Yoyo felt soreness all over her

1:12:48

body. She tried to crawl up but couldn't

1:12:50

summon the strength despite trying

1:12:52

several times just as she was falling

1:12:54

into despair. She saw the tall, warm

1:12:57

figure of a man under the moonlight.

1:13:00

Sister Yo, what's wrong? You had

1:13:02

discovered where she lived and

1:13:03

originally didn't intend to enter to

1:13:04

avoid making her feel awkward, but

1:13:07

hearing her cry of shock, you couldn't

1:13:09

worry about that anymore. You rushed

1:13:10

into the basement corridor and saw her

1:13:12

lying on the floor with blood on her

1:13:14

palms. You quickly picked her up, not

1:13:16

minding the dirty water on her clothes

1:13:18

at all. Where do you live? I'll take you

1:13:20

back. Kanyoku Yo had no strength left at

1:13:23

this point and couldn't put up a front,

1:13:25

so she pointed to the basement room at

1:13:27

the very end. When you open the door,

1:13:29

you found the place was incredibly

1:13:31

simple. Nothing more than a bed and a

1:13:33

basic wardrobe. There wasn't even a

1:13:35

table. I'm sorry, Kao. I didn't tell you

1:13:38

the truth earlier. I don't actually live

1:13:40

in the main apartment area. You gave her

1:13:42

a gentle smile. Sister, I understand,

1:13:45

but we're basically family now. You

1:13:47

don't need to hide things from me.

1:13:49

You're ill and have a fever, and the air

1:13:51

in this basement is too poor. It's not

1:13:53

good for your recovery. I think you

1:13:55

should come stay at my place for a few

1:13:57

days. As it happens, I'm covering a

1:13:59

night shift for a colleague and won't be

1:14:01

back until 7:00 a.m. She was just about

1:14:03

to refuse, but hearing that you would be

1:14:04

busy with the night shift, she didn't.

1:14:07

Then I'll trouble you, Kaio. The place

1:14:10

where she lived wasn't far from yours,

1:14:12

so you carried her all the way to your

1:14:13

newly rented place. Although your rental

1:14:16

wasn't fancy, it was much better than

1:14:18

her basement and even had a private

1:14:20

bathroom. Kanyokuo saw you about to put

1:14:22

her directly on the bed and stopped you

1:14:24

hurriedly. "Kao, I'm dirty. Let me take

1:14:26

these clothes off first." You carried

1:14:28

her to the bathroom and gave her a set

1:14:30

of your pajamas. Listening to the sound

1:14:32

of water in the bathroom, you couldn't

1:14:34

help but imagine the scene. You had

1:14:36

noticed earlier that her body was

1:14:38

exceptionally soft, even softer than

1:14:40

Yang Ran Ruo's, [music] and her chest

1:14:43

seemed a size larger. The rushing water

1:14:45

in the bathroom made you recall the

1:14:47

dreams of your youth, where she was

1:14:48

always your unattainable goddess. You

1:14:51

never thought you would one day be able

1:14:52

to hold her. Just as your mind was

1:14:55

wandering, her voice came from inside.

1:14:58

Kaio, can you come in here for a second?

1:15:00

You felt a jolt of excitement, but you

1:15:02

knew she wasn't trying to seduce you.

1:15:05

She was far more conservative than Yang

1:15:06

Ran Ruo and would never do such a thing.

1:15:08

You pushed the door open to find her

1:15:10

sitting on a plastic stool, one hand

1:15:12

covering her chest with a towel and the

1:15:14

other leaning against the toilet to keep

1:15:16

from falling. You rushed to pick her up.

1:15:18

Sister, what's wrong? Her face went

1:15:20

redder and she frantically tried to

1:15:21

cover her vital spots. I suddenly felt a

1:15:24

wave of dizziness and heart

1:15:25

palpitations. You laid her on the bed

1:15:27

and used another towel to wipe her body

1:15:29

dry. She was too weak to move and though

1:15:31

embarrassed had no other choice. Even

1:15:34

though you couldn't help but steal

1:15:35

glances, you didn't take advantage of

1:15:37

her. You wouldn't take advantage of her

1:15:39

when she was vulnerable. You helped her

1:15:41

dress, gave her the fever medicine, and

1:15:43

then used your spiritual energy to

1:15:45

massage a few points on her neck and

1:15:47

back. After your massage, she felt much

1:15:49

lighter and soon fell asleep on the bed.

1:15:52

Since her husband passed away, she had

1:15:54

been harassed by people around her and

1:15:56

hadn't slept peacefully in a long time.

1:16:00

Today at your place was the best sleep

1:16:03

she had had in years. Saying that she

1:16:05

was completely defenseless against you,

1:16:07

you tucked her in and spent the night in

1:16:09

a chair. Since receiving the inheritance

1:16:12

from the old master, you found that you

1:16:14

only needed 2 or 3 hours of rest to feel

1:16:17

as refreshed as a full night's sleep.

1:16:19

You woke up at dawn, went out to buy

1:16:21

breakfast, and she woke up just after

1:16:23

you returned. Your spiritual energy

1:16:25

worked much like Chiong and was very

1:16:27

effective for healing. Combined with the

1:16:30

medicine from the night before, her

1:16:31

fever was gone by the morning and she

1:16:34

felt even more energetic than usual.

1:16:36

Having broken into a sweat during the

1:16:38

night, [music] she decided to take a

1:16:40

shower in the bathroom. Before, she had

1:16:42

no private bathroom and always had to

1:16:43

bathe in a tub while keeping an eye out

1:16:46

for voyers. Here, those worries were

1:16:49

gone. She began to fall in love with

1:16:51

showering. You watched her come out with

1:16:53

wet hair. Her thin white tank top soaked

1:16:55

through and her curvaceous figure

1:16:57

vaguely visible. Your heart raced and

1:17:00

the events of the previous night flashed

1:17:02

through your mind. Although she was 28,

1:17:05

her beauty hadn't faded at all. She had

1:17:07

even more of a mature charm than in her

1:17:09

youth. You couldn't help but stare. She

1:17:12

noticed you watching and her face turned

1:17:14

red, but she wasn't angry. She just

1:17:16

glanced at you. If you keep looking, I'm

1:17:18

leaving. You quickly looked away.

1:17:20

Sister, you are just too beautiful. You

1:17:24

were no longer the shy boy from your

1:17:25

youth. Even when facing a goddess, you

1:17:28

could keep your composure. She blushed

1:17:30

more. I'm almost 30. I'm old. Kaido,

1:17:33

you're so capable and handsome. Your

1:17:35

girlfriend must be very pretty, right?

1:17:36

You shook your head. I don't have a

1:17:38

girlfriend yet. Why don't you be my

1:17:40

girlfriend, sister? You were testing her

1:17:43

half jokingly. If she were willing, you

1:17:45

truly would marry her. She was the

1:17:47

goddess of your youth after all. Her

1:17:49

face reened again. What are you saying?

1:17:52

I'm four or five years older than you

1:17:54

and a divorce. A How can I be your

1:17:56

girlfriend if you don't have a

1:17:57

girlfriend? I'll introduce you to

1:17:59

someone else later. I guarantee she'll

1:18:01

be prettier than me. Just as you were

1:18:03

about to say it wasn't necessary, your

1:18:05

phone rang. Seeing it was Kito

1:18:07

Nishimura, you were surprised. Boss, do

1:18:11

you need something? Kato Nishimura

1:18:13

hesitated for a moment before saying in

1:18:15

a fawning tone, "I [music] heard from

1:18:17

Sati that Master Ren can consecrate

1:18:19

jade. I would like to ask you to

1:18:21

consecrate a piece for me. Name your

1:18:23

price." You didn't refuse. Then meet me

1:18:26

at the entrance of my sister's shop.

1:18:27

I'll be there in a moment. After hanging

1:18:30

up, you took her to open the shop. Sure

1:18:32

enough, as soon as you arrived, you saw

1:18:34

Kato Nishimura and Sati smoking at the

1:18:36

entrance. Upon seeing you and her

1:18:38

together, Kon Nishimura immediately

1:18:40

shifted his gaze. Master Ren is

1:18:42

impressive. Your girlfriend is so

1:18:44

beautiful. She blushed deeply. Afraid of

1:18:47

her feeling awkward. You quickly

1:18:48

explained to Ko Nishimura. Don't

1:18:50

misunderstand, boss. This is my sister,

1:18:53

not my girlfriend. Kato Nishimura

1:18:55

watched her go to open the shop and

1:18:56

whispered into your ear. There's nothing

1:18:58

better than dumplings to eat and nothing

1:19:00

better than a sister-in-law to play

1:19:02

with. I understand, brother. You looked

1:19:04

at her, not sure how to explain it. Kato

1:19:06

Nishimura said to Sati, "Hey, didn't Joe

1:19:09

Nishimura want to order 300,000 yen

1:19:12

worth of mid-autumn gift boxes from us?

1:19:14

You haven't handled that yet, right?"

1:19:16

Ryukiuchi shook his head immediately.

1:19:18

"Haven't gotten to it yet." Kito

1:19:21

Nishimura pulled out his phone and

1:19:23

transferred a list to you. As the saying

1:19:25

goes, "Keep the fertilizer on your own

1:19:27

field. Since the shopkeeper is your

1:19:29

sister, I'll order those 300,000 yen

1:19:32

worth of gift boxes from her shop. see

1:19:34

if these prices work for her. Kito

1:19:36

Nishimura was an old pro and was

1:19:38

speaking in double meanings, but you

1:19:40

didn't quite catch it. Hearing it was a

1:19:42

300,000 yen deal, you immediately

1:19:44

transferred the list to her. After

1:19:47

reviewing the list, she was overjoyed.

1:19:49

These items were standard, and the

1:19:51

profit margin was substantial. If she

1:19:54

took the whole order, she would make at

1:19:55

least a 50% profit. Her small shop

1:19:58

barely earned 4,000US 5,000 yen a month

1:20:01

after expenses. A 150,000 yen profit was

1:20:05

a huge deal for her. Upon hearing the

1:20:07

profit margin, you said to Kido

1:20:08

Nishimura, "Boss, my sister says she can

1:20:10

do this order." Keto Nishimura took out

1:20:12

his phone again. And transferred the

1:20:14

full 300,000 yen to her. Since the boss

1:20:18

can do it, I'll leave the gift boxes to

1:20:19

you. When they're ready, just have Sati

1:20:22

pick them up. Don't worry about the

1:20:24

quality. Just make them look decent. She

1:20:26

was ecstatic. I'll go prepare right now.

1:20:28

Seeing her start working on the order,

1:20:30

you took Kido Nishimura aside. Boss, you

1:20:34

mentioned wanting me to consecrate a

1:20:35

jade Buddha this morning. Did you bring

1:20:37

it? You knew he was doing this entirely

1:20:40

out of respect for you, sending a

1:20:42

profitable order her way. In return, you

1:20:45

had to reciprocate so he would continue

1:20:47

to favor you in the future. You

1:20:49

understood that in the business world,

1:20:51

friends were built on the exchange of

1:20:53

interests. Kito Nishimura took out a

1:20:55

highquality jade Buddha. I have a

1:20:57

daughter who hasn't been sleeping well

1:20:59

lately. We've seen several doctors, but

1:21:01

they couldn't find anything. [music]

1:21:02

This morning, I heard from Sato Chi that

1:21:04

after wearing the jade piece you

1:21:06

consecrated, he didn't feel as cold

1:21:08

anymore and slept well. So, I wanted to

1:21:10

ask you to do the same for my daughter.

1:21:12

You didn't say much. You took the jade

1:21:14

Buddha and began channeling your

1:21:16

spiritual energy to paint a talisman on

1:21:18

the back. As your fingers moved, a

1:21:20

translucent white talisman image

1:21:22

appeared on the jade.

1:21:23

>> [music]

1:21:23

>> Kito Nishimura had heard of your skills,

1:21:26

but seeing it with his own eyes, his

1:21:27

eyes lit up. Since you had been using

1:21:29

spiritual energy constantly since last

1:21:32

night, you were starting to drain your

1:21:34

reserves. Although you finished the

1:21:36

talisman, you were sweating profusely

1:21:38

and had to sit down, gasping for breath.

1:21:41

You knew you needed to find a woman to

1:21:43

perform the fusion with to replenish

1:21:45

your energy quickly or you would be in

1:21:47

trouble when it came time to dispel

1:21:49

Shiro Mashiro's peach blossom curse in

1:21:51

the evening. The curse in Shiro

1:21:53

Mashiro's body was only temporarily

1:21:55

suppressed. If not dispelled with

1:21:57

spiritual talismans, it would only grow

1:22:00

worse. If it flared up, this kind and

1:22:03

beautiful noble woman would lose all

1:22:04

self-control and ruin her reputation.

1:22:07

You realized the person behind the curse

1:22:09

likely intended exactly this outcome.

1:22:12

Even though you hadn't known her long,

1:22:13

Shirro Mashiro had been very kind to

1:22:16

you. She didn't look down on you for

1:22:18

being a bumpkin. Instead, she helped you

1:22:20

start your own company with 3 million

1:22:22

yen. She was your first true benefactor.

1:22:26

You would never let her reputation be

1:22:28

ruined. However, the only person willing

1:22:30

to perform the fusion with you to help

1:22:32

restore your energy was Yang Ran Ruo.

1:22:35

Although she liked you, her conservative

1:22:36

nature meant she wouldn't agree to it so

1:22:38

quickly. Shiro Mashiro<unk>'s progress

1:22:41

with you seemed faster. But not to that

1:22:44

extent yet. You had no choice but to

1:22:46

find Yang Ran Ruo. Yang Ren Ruo was

1:22:49

prder than the others, and you weren't

1:22:50

sure if you could get her out. After

1:22:52

leaving the shop, you sent her a

1:22:54

message. Sister Yang, are you free

1:22:56

today? I've been thinking of you

1:22:57

suddenly. Yang Ran Ruo replied quickly.

1:23:01

I have a 2-hour break at noon. I've

1:23:02

booked a room at the usual hotel. Go

1:23:04

wait for me there. You were pleasantly

1:23:06

surprised. [music] She was clearly

1:23:08

addicted to your relationship. You rode

1:23:10

your electric scooter to the hotel, but

1:23:11

didn't go inside immediately. Without a

1:23:13

room card, waiting in the lobby was

1:23:15

awkward if you ran into someone.

1:23:17

Instead, you wandered around the area

1:23:19

and booked a private room at the Hunan

1:23:21

restaurant across the street. To save

1:23:23

time, you ordered the tea she liked in

1:23:25

advance. You knew her financial firm was

1:23:27

nearby. You calculated the timing

1:23:30

perfectly so she could eat as soon as

1:23:31

she arrived. Sure enough, just after

1:23:34

12:15, she called. Why don't I see you?

1:23:37

You laughed. I'm at the Hunan restaurant

1:23:39

across the street. You must be hungry

1:23:41

after a morning at work. Let's eat

1:23:43

first. We need energy for the real

1:23:45

stuff, right? Yang Ran Ruo blushed.

1:23:48

Since being with you, she felt as if she

1:23:50

were addicted and couldn't leave you.

1:23:52

Still, deep down, she felt you weren't

1:23:54

on her level and that being married, she

1:23:57

shouldn't be doing this. But after

1:23:59

trying to resist for 2 days, your

1:24:01

message broke her resolve, and she

1:24:03

booked the room herself.

1:24:05

Arriving at the restaurant, she felt a

1:24:07

wave of desire just looking at you,

1:24:09

which increased her affection for your

1:24:11

attentiveness. I have an appointment

1:24:13

with a client for a facial this

1:24:14

afternoon. You had just picked up your

1:24:16

chopsticks when a beautiful woman's

1:24:18

voice spoke at the doorway. Ranu, I

1:24:21

thought I was seeing things. It really

1:24:22

is you. [music] You looked toward the

1:24:24

door and saw a fashionably dressed young

1:24:27

woman. She had long flowing hair, large,

1:24:30

bright eyes, and bright red lips. She

1:24:34

wore a dark blue cinched waist dress

1:24:36

with a delicate bow, and her elegant

1:24:39

demeanor was stunning. You were

1:24:41

momentarily stunned. Her beauty was on

1:24:44

par with Yang Ran Ruo<unk>s and her

1:24:46

aristocratic aura was even stronger.

1:24:49

Only Shiro Mashiro could compare. Yang

1:24:52

Ran Rua noticed you staring and feeling

1:24:54

a surge of jealousy pinched your waist.

1:24:57

She then stood up and smiled. Purple

1:25:00

jewel. Meow. Zit. What are you doing

1:25:03

here? Meow. Zi Chong glanced at you.

1:25:05

Well, am I interrupting your date with

1:25:07

this handsome guy? Yang Ran Ruo quickly

1:25:09

made up an excuse. Don't misunderstand.

1:25:11

He's just a distant cousin from my

1:25:13

hometown. Meowzi Chong didn't buy it. Is

1:25:16

that so? If he's your cousin, then I'm

1:25:19

going to make my move. Yang Ran Ruo

1:25:21

panicked. No way. Meowzi Chong laughed.

1:25:24

And you said you had nothing going on.

1:25:26

Yang Ran Ruo leaned over to whisper

1:25:28

something, causing Yaozi Chongs face to

1:25:30

turn bright red. Those alluring eyes

1:25:33

secretly peeked at you. The two beauties

1:25:36

then huddled to whisper. They thought

1:25:38

you couldn't hear them, but with your

1:25:40

heightened senses, you heard every word.

1:25:42

You were shocked to hear that Yang Ran

1:25:44

Ruo had actually told Meowzi Chong about

1:25:46

your private affairs and even described

1:25:48

how intense you were, saying she wished

1:25:50

she could be with you everyday. Hearing

1:25:51

her recount the intimacy so vividly was

1:25:53

too much to handle. You made an excuse

1:25:55

to go to the restroom. Upon returning,

1:25:57

you found them having ordered three

1:25:58

bottles of red wine. You didn't pay much

1:26:01

attention, but before you knew it, you

1:26:03

had drunk enough to lose consciousness.

1:26:04

Others work as security guards just to

1:26:07

watch the gate. You work as a guard to

1:26:08

help tenants clear drains. Others have

1:26:11

meager income as guards. You get rich by

1:26:13

treating wealthy women. And today, your

1:26:16

specialty was revealed to your woman's

1:26:18

best friend. You were shocked that Yang

1:26:20

Ran Ru had shared these things with

1:26:22

Meowzi Chong. She even bragged about how

1:26:24

deathdeying the experiences were,

1:26:27

wanting you everyday. Hearing her detail

1:26:28

your intimacy, you excused yourself to

1:26:30

the restroom. When you returned, you

1:26:33

found them with three bottles of wine,

1:26:35

and you eventually lost consciousness.

1:26:37

You woke up to find both Yang Ran Ruo

1:26:39

and Miyazi Chong sitting on the bed

1:26:41

dressing. Both were still flushed from

1:26:44

the wine. Clearly, they had drank quite

1:26:46

a bit. Yang Ran Ru patted her leg. Why

1:26:49

so excited just now? Meow. X Chong

1:26:52

blushed and couldn't look at you. I'm

1:26:54

leaving. She grabbed her bag and hurried

1:26:57

out.

1:26:59

Only then did you sit up? Sister Yang,

1:27:02

what happened? I blacked out. Did the

1:27:05

three of us? Yang Ran Rua rolled her

1:27:07

eyes. Don't pretend with me. You were so

1:27:09

energetic just a moment ago. You

1:27:11

pleaded, "I really blacked out, Sister

1:27:13

Yang. I don't remember anything." She

1:27:15

wasn't satisfied with your explanation

1:27:17

and huffed. Not knowing how to soothe

1:27:19

her, you decided to simply embrace her

1:27:22

and perform your duties once more. She

1:27:24

was no longer angry. "Why so rough? Are

1:27:27

you trying to kill me? Despite her

1:27:29

complaints, she held you tightly, unable

1:27:31

to let go. You asked about Meowzkyong,

1:27:33

Sister Yang, who is this Ms. Meow with

1:27:36

an aura matching Shiro Mashiro? You

1:27:38

guessed her identity was significant.

1:27:40

Yang Ran Ruo chuckled. What? Still

1:27:43

thinking about her? Let me tell you, you

1:27:45

only had a chance because we were drunk.

1:27:48

You won't have another opportunity. To

1:27:50

you, she is an immortal in the sky. Stop

1:27:52

dreaming or you'll lose your life. You

1:27:54

didn't answer, but you weren't giving

1:27:56

up. You noticed your spiritual energy

1:27:59

had increased several times more than it

1:28:01

did with Yang Ran Ruo alone. She was a

1:28:04

new treasure, and you wouldn't give up

1:28:06

on her. Soon after, Yang Ran Ruo had to

1:28:08

leave for an appointment with a client.

1:28:10

As she left, you received a friend

1:28:12

request. Meowi Chong, you accepted and

1:28:15

sent a message. Sister Meow, when are

1:28:18

you free? I'd like to treat you to a

1:28:20

meal. The message was met with silence.

1:28:23

Just as you thought it was hopeless, a

1:28:25

reply came. I'll contact you if there's

1:28:27

a chance. Don't message me otherwise.

1:28:29

You tried to send back why, but received

1:28:32

a notification. Message could not be

1:28:34

delivered. Blocked by recipient. You

1:28:36

realized she had blocked you. You were

1:28:39

confused. She had added you, chatted for

1:28:41

a moment, and then blocked you. But you

1:28:43

had no time to ponder her motives. The

1:28:46

sun had set, and you had to dispel the

1:28:48

curse on Shiro Mashiro. Waiting until

1:28:50

tomorrow would make it much harder. You

1:28:52

checked your messages and saw several

1:28:54

missed calls from her. You called her

1:28:56

back. Shirou White sister, I am so

1:29:00

sorry. I ran into some friends and got a

1:29:02

bit drunk. You called? Are you free now?

1:29:06

Her voice sounded urgent. I'll be there

1:29:08

immediately. Let's meet at the usual

1:29:10

place. You hung up and headed to the

1:29:12

Kinyatu Hotel. To save time, you took a

1:29:16

taxi instead of your electric scooter.

1:29:18

From her urgent tone, you guessed her

1:29:20

condition wasn't good. You wondered if

1:29:22

she would be able to hold herself

1:29:23

together by the time you arrived. When

1:29:25

you arrived at the hotel, she was

1:29:27

waiting in the lobby, wearing a mask to

1:29:29

avoid being recognized. She was dressed

1:29:31

elegantly in a cream colored knit top,

1:29:34

light brown skirt, and pink studded

1:29:36

heels. "Seeing you," she waved. Just as

1:29:39

you were walking toward her, you saw a

1:29:42

familiar figure pass by. Although you

1:29:44

couldn't see his face, his aura

1:29:46

identified him. It was her husband, USO

1:29:50

Coyama. You saw USO Coyama with his arms

1:29:52

around an attractive woman. At that

1:29:54

moment, he turned around [music] and

1:29:56

your eyes locked. He stopped

1:29:58

immediately. Oh, isn't it our security

1:30:01

guard, Ren? Did you get fired from our

1:30:03

building and come here to work security

1:30:05

instead? If I knew you were working

1:30:07

here, I would have brought your

1:30:08

girlfriend, Ryu Nimi. How exciting would

1:30:10

it be if I were in the room with her

1:30:12

while you stood guard outside? He

1:30:14

laughed excitedly. You were calm. You're

1:30:16

mistaken. Usoyama Ryu Nimi is no longer

1:30:20

my girlfriend. She is your mistress.

1:30:23

As you said this, you glanced at Shiro

1:30:25

Mashiro and had a wicked thought. If he

1:30:28

knew you were here to sleep with his

1:30:29

wife, would he die of rage? However,

1:30:32

seeing the pleading look in her eyes,

1:30:34

you kept her identity secret. You didn't

1:30:36

want to make things difficult for her,

1:30:39

and you wouldn't offend such a vital

1:30:40

benefactor for a moment of satisfaction.

1:30:42

You were no longer the impulsive youth

1:30:45

of your early days. Years of working in

1:30:47

the city had made you calm. She wasn't

1:30:50

just someone you helped. She was the

1:30:52

person who would help you achieve

1:30:53

success. Uso Coyama noticed you looking

1:30:56

at her and followed your gaze. She

1:30:58

panicked and lowered her head. Dressed

1:31:00

in a new style with a different haircut

1:31:02

and a mask. He didn't recognize her at

1:31:04

all. Uso Coyama looked at her with

1:31:06

disdain. Renzo, [music]

1:31:08

how do you manage to get into the

1:31:09

Kenyatu Hotel? Oh, I see. You've learned

1:31:12

how to mooch off a rich woman. He

1:31:14

pointed at you. Listen here, you

1:31:16

pathetic gigalo. You are a disgrace to

1:31:19

men. As he scolded you, he felt a sharp

1:31:22

gaze and turned to see her staring at

1:31:24

him with killing intent. Startled, he

1:31:27

quickly left with his companion. Seeing

1:31:29

him leave, she hurried upstairs with

1:31:31

you. Once the door was closed, she

1:31:32

pulled off her mask. You saw her

1:31:34

breathing was heavy and her face was

1:31:36

flushed with an unusual heat. You

1:31:38

immediately realized that because of the

1:31:40

stimulation from USO Coyama just moments

1:31:43

ago, the peach blossom curse within

1:31:45

Shiro Mashiro's body had been triggered.

1:31:48

You were just about to break the curse

1:31:49

for her when Shiro Mashiro pinned you

1:31:51

against the wall. Before you could even

1:31:52

say, "Sister Shirou, she kissed you."

1:31:55

Her lips were incredibly soft. The

1:31:57

feeling was completely different from

1:31:58

Ranuo Yangs. Compared to Shiro Mashiro,

1:32:01

Yuka Yanagi fell short by a mile. Being

1:32:04

kissed by Shiro Mashiro caught you off

1:32:06

guard and you felt yourself getting lost

1:32:08

in [music] the moment. However, when she

1:32:10

grabbed your hand and guided it inside

1:32:11

her top, you suddenly snapped back to

1:32:14

your senses. Sister Shirou, we cannot do

1:32:17

that right now. Until your peach blossom

1:32:20

curse is completely lifted, if we do

1:32:22

that, your curse will never be

1:32:23

removable. But Shirro Mashiro had

1:32:26

clearly lost her reason by this point.

1:32:28

She reached out to undress you. You

1:32:30

deeply desired Shiro Mashiro as well,

1:32:33

but you knew that if you made contact

1:32:35

before the curse was lifted, it would

1:32:37

become permanent. [music] She would turn

1:32:39

into an insatiable woman who would sleep

1:32:41

with anyone. Naturally, you couldn't

1:32:44

ruin her life. You quickly used your

1:32:46

spiritual energy to forcefully suppress

1:32:48

the urges within you, then pressed your

1:32:50

palm against her chest, slowly

1:32:53

channeling your energy into her body. As

1:32:56

your energy entered her, it quickly

1:32:58

suppressed the curse.

1:33:00

Shiro Mashiro finally regained her

1:33:02

senses. Coming back to reality, she

1:33:04

quickly pulled away from you. Ren, I I

1:33:08

She was so ashamed she couldn't even

1:33:10

look at you. Shiro Mashiro had always

1:33:13

been a conservative woman. Aside from

1:33:15

her husband, US Coyama, she hadn't even

1:33:18

held another man's hand. Yet just now,

1:33:21

not only had she kissed you, but she had

1:33:23

guided your hand inside her clothes. The

1:33:26

more she thought about it, the more

1:33:28

embarrassed she felt. If she didn't

1:33:30

still need you to break her curse, she

1:33:32

would have fled the room immediately.

1:33:34

Shirro Mashiro silently cursed herself

1:33:36

in her heart. Shirou, how could you be

1:33:39

so shameless? Not wanting her to feel

1:33:41

too awkward, you proactively offered an

1:33:43

explanation. Don't feel bad. You only

1:33:45

lost your reason because the curse

1:33:47

flared up. Any other woman would have

1:33:50

acted even more aggressively than you

1:33:52

did. Hearing this, Shiro Mashiro was

1:33:54

finally less embarrassed. She

1:33:57

immediately laid down on the bed and

1:33:58

pulled up her top. Ren, please hurry and

1:34:01

treat me. What happened just now still

1:34:03

leaves me shaken. Your heartbeat

1:34:05

accelerated again. You couldn't help it.

1:34:07

Shiro Mashira's figure was truly

1:34:09

perfect. Not a bit too thin, not a bit

1:34:11

too fat. Although the woman Uso Kuyama

1:34:14

had brought earlier had an exaggerated

1:34:16

figure, in your opinion, that kind of

1:34:19

physique couldn't compare to Shiro

1:34:20

Mashira's perfectly balanced body. You

1:34:22

took several deep breaths [music] to

1:34:24

suppress your stray thoughts and began

1:34:26

the treatment thanks to your intimacy

1:34:28

with Ranuo Yang and Ezekiel Meow earlier

1:34:31

in the afternoon. Your spiritual energy

1:34:33

was not only fully restored, but was

1:34:35

even stronger than yesterday. The

1:34:38

results were excellent. You estimated

1:34:40

you could guarantee Shiro Mashiro would

1:34:42

not have another episode for at least 3

1:34:44

days. After breaking the curse, you

1:34:46

reminded her again, "Sister Shirou,

1:34:49

remember, until the curse is completely

1:34:51

gone, you must absolutely not play

1:34:53

around with men or it will be impossible

1:34:55

to fix." Shiro Mashiro blushed and

1:34:58

looked at you with a charming

1:34:59

expression. I'll remember. You were

1:35:01

primarily worried she would be with her

1:35:03

husband, USoyama.

1:35:06

But in reality, Shiro Mashiro had long

1:35:09

been separated from him. After seeing

1:35:11

him earlier with that woman, she

1:35:13

wouldn't let him touch her again.

1:35:16

Afterward, you returned to Yukoski's

1:35:18

shop. She was just about to close up for

1:35:21

the night. Seeing you arrive, she

1:35:23

immediately came forward. Ren, this

1:35:26

300,000 yen order you got from Master

1:35:28

Ren is all thanks to you. I'll keep

1:35:32

160,000 for supplies and I'll transfer

1:35:35

the remaining 140,000 to you. You

1:35:38

quickly stopped her. Sister Seki, this

1:35:41

is an order for you. It wouldn't make

1:35:43

sense for me to take all the profit.

1:35:45

Yukoski shook her head. I know Ren only

1:35:48

gave me this order because of you.

1:35:50

Keeping 160,000 will net me about 5,000

1:35:53

yen in profit, which is enough. The rest

1:35:56

should be yours. You immediately shook

1:35:58

your head. That's not how you run a

1:36:00

business. A large order like this will

1:36:03

inevitably have unexpected expenses. If

1:36:06

you only keep 5,000 yen, you're likely

1:36:08

to end up losing money. Yukoski thought

1:36:10

for a moment. Then I'll keep an extra

1:36:13

5,000. You hadn't expected Yukoski to be

1:36:16

so ungreedy. It's one thing for a

1:36:18

wealthy person not to be greedy as they

1:36:20

don't lack money, but for someone like

1:36:22

Yuko Seki, living in the bottom of

1:36:25

society in a dark basement, to be so

1:36:27

selfless was rare. It spoke volumes

1:36:30

about her character. You smiled and took

1:36:32

her phone. Sister Saki, if you really

1:36:34

feel bad about it, let's treat my share

1:36:35

as an investment. [music] From now on,

1:36:37

this shop is a partnership between us.

1:36:39

I'll be responsible for bringing in

1:36:41

orders, and you handle the deliveries.

1:36:44

Yukoski was delighted, but hesitant.

1:36:47

That's too much. My shop isn't even

1:36:49

worth 30,000 yen. You could make over

1:36:51

100,000 from this order alone if you put

1:36:54

it all in. Wouldn't I be taking

1:36:56

advantage of you? You pulled Yukoski

1:36:58

aside to sit down. Sister Seeki, we're

1:37:01

family now. Why are you keeping such

1:37:02

strict accounts with me? If you really

1:37:05

feel like you're taking advantage of me,

1:37:07

then let me take advantage of you later

1:37:09

and we'll be even. Yukoseki blushed

1:37:11

immediately remembering the scene from

1:37:13

last night when she was suffering from

1:37:14

palpitations while bathing and you had

1:37:16

carried her out of the bathroom. At that

1:37:18

moment, she was covered by only a small

1:37:20

towel. Thinking of that, she lowered her

1:37:22

head in shame. [music] I'm already a

1:37:24

faded flower. What advantage could you

1:37:27

possibly gain from me? Seeing her shy,

1:37:29

lovely expression, you couldn't help but

1:37:32

take her hand. Sister Si, be my

1:37:34

girlfriend. Yukoski panicked and quickly

1:37:36

pulled her hand away. I need to close up

1:37:38

and go home. Didn't you say you had to

1:37:40

cover a night shift for your friend?

1:37:41

Seeing her reaction, you knew the timing

1:37:43

wasn't right yet, so you didn't force

1:37:45

it. Although her beauty and elegance

1:37:48

were slightly less than Shiro Mashiro's,

1:37:50

she was the goddess of your youth and

1:37:52

held a special place in your heart. You

1:37:54

didn't want to cause her any

1:37:55

unhappiness. You helped her close the

1:37:58

shop and assisted her in moving her

1:37:59

things from the basement to your own

1:38:01

rented room. After getting her settled,

1:38:03

you rode your scooter back to the

1:38:04

Kenyatsu Hotel. But shortly after

1:38:07

leaving the village, Yuka Yanugi called.

1:38:09

Seeing it was Yuka Yanagi, you didn't

1:38:11

want to answer, but remembering your

1:38:13

many years together, you picked up. What

1:38:15

are you calling me for now? Yuka

1:38:17

Yanagi's voice was slurred. She was

1:38:19

clearly drunk. Can you Can you take me

1:38:23

home? You refused directly. You aren't

1:38:25

my girlfriend anymore. You're US

1:38:28

Coyama's mistress now, remember? You

1:38:30

prepared to hang up. Yuka Yanagi

1:38:32

hurriedly said, "Ren, I'm being targeted

1:38:34

by two thugs. If you don't come save me,

1:38:37

you might never see me again." Hearing

1:38:38

that she was in danger, you finally

1:38:40

softened. "Fine, send me your location."

1:38:43

Once you received it, you immediately

1:38:45

hailed a taxi. When you arrived, Yuka

1:38:48

Yanagi was sitting alone on the side of

1:38:49

the road with a few thugs watching her

1:38:52

like predators. They scattered as soon

1:38:54

as they saw you approaching. You frowned

1:38:56

seeing her in such a state. How did you

1:38:58

get this drunk seeing you? Yuka Yanagi

1:39:01

lunged at you and grabbed your neck.

1:39:03

Ren, do you know? Uso Coyama promised to

1:39:07

divorce his wife and marry me next

1:39:09

month, but today he said he couldn't get

1:39:11

a divorce yet. I've been tricked by him.

1:39:14

You felt no sympathy. She didn't deserve

1:39:17

it. Who can you blame for this? This is

1:39:20

the path you chose. You put her in a

1:39:22

taxi and took her back to her apartment.

1:39:24

The place Uso Coyama rented for her was

1:39:27

a three-bedroom flat, fully furnished, a

1:39:29

hundred times better than the room you

1:39:31

used to rent. As you laid her on the bed

1:39:33

and turned to leave, she grabbed you.

1:39:35

Ren, let me make it up to you tonight.

1:39:37

You looked at her. Are you planning on

1:39:39

breaking up with USO Coyama? Yukayanagi

1:39:42

shook her head. No, but I can still use

1:39:44

my body to compensate you. Think about

1:39:46

it. I'm not your girlfriend anymore. I'm

1:39:48

the woman USO spent a fortune to buy. He

1:39:51

spent a fortune on me, but now I'm

1:39:53

sleeping with someone else. You're

1:39:54

getting the better deal. You hadn't

1:39:56

intended to touch her, but hearing that,

1:39:58

you couldn't resist and pinned her to

1:40:00

the bed. Just as you were about to

1:40:03

undress, you heard the sound of a key in

1:40:05

the door. Yuka Yanagi's face turned

1:40:08

pale. She quickly pulled up her clothes

1:40:10

and hid you in the closet before opening

1:40:12

the door. When the door opened, Yuka

1:40:14

Yanagi saw two subordinates carrying USO

1:40:17

Coyama inside. Mistress, the boss is

1:40:21

drunk. Where should we put him? Yukaya

1:40:23

Yanagi told them to put him in the spare

1:40:25

room, then took a towel to wash his face

1:40:27

and take off his shoes. But as soon as

1:40:28

the men left, Yuka Yanagi abandoned USO

1:40:31

Coyama and returned to her room,

1:40:33

resuming her fervor with you, knowing

1:40:35

that she was now USO<unk>s woman. You no

1:40:38

longer held back. In the spare room, USO

1:40:41

Coyama was still mumbling in his sleep.

1:40:43

Yanigi, don't worry. I guarantee I'll

1:40:46

divorce Shiro Mashiro soon and make you

1:40:48

my wife. In the master bedroom, Yuka

1:40:51

Yanagi was already lost in your

1:40:53

intensity, holding you tight and

1:40:55

whispering in your ear, "Ren, I'm

1:40:57

dying." You wore her out completely

1:41:00

before finally getting dressed and

1:41:01

leaving. Before you left, you glanced at

1:41:04

the still drunk USO Coyama in the spare

1:41:06

room. He was still sleeping like a log,

1:41:10

completely unaware that his woman had

1:41:12

just been singing in your arms. After

1:41:14

leaving her place, you went to the

1:41:15

Kinyatu Hotel. Shiro Mashiro was far too

1:41:18

good to you. Not only did she rent you a

1:41:20

room in this five-star hotel, but she

1:41:22

had bought you a closet full of clothes

1:41:23

from jackets to pajamas, underwear, and

1:41:26

socks. Nothing was missing. Living here

1:41:28

was far more comfortable than in your

1:41:30

old rental. Although you had visited

1:41:32

twice before, you had never stayed the

1:41:34

night. After sleeping there, you finally

1:41:37

understood why some wealthy people

1:41:39

choose to live in hotels long-term. It

1:41:41

was incredibly comfortable. After eating

1:41:43

breakfast, you took your small scooter

1:41:45

back to Yukosiki's shop. Since the

1:41:48

company registration Shiro Mashiro was

1:41:50

handling for you wasn't ready yet, you

1:41:53

had nothing to do and went to help

1:41:54

Yukoski.

1:41:56

However, just as you arrived, you

1:41:58

received a call from Nishimura Ren.

1:42:01

Master Ren, are you free today? If so,

1:42:04

I'd like to ask a favor. Help me

1:42:06

accompany old 7 to collect a debt. If

1:42:09

you can help him recover this debt, I'll

1:42:11

give you a 20% commission. That's

1:42:14

400,000 yen. You were never interested

1:42:16

in debt collection, but hearing the

1:42:18

commission was so high, you immediately

1:42:20

became interested. I'll be at your

1:42:22

company now. When you arrived at

1:42:23

Nishimura Ren's company, Sati was

1:42:26

already waiting at the door. Master Ren,

1:42:28

I'm so glad you could come. As Sati

1:42:30

drove, he explained the situation. The

1:42:33

woman we're collecting from today is

1:42:35

Yuko Yang, the owner of a beauty salon.

1:42:37

Her husband used the salon as collateral

1:42:39

to borrow 2 million yen months ago, but

1:42:42

he's vanished. Our task today is to get

1:42:44

that 2 million back from her. Ryu Kiuchi

1:42:47

drove to an old apartment complex and

1:42:49

led you to knock on one of the doors.

1:42:51

The door was opened by a woman under 30.

1:42:54

She had long, dark, smooth hair, bright

1:42:56

eyes, and was wearing a highquality

1:42:58

royal blue crepe shirt paired with a

1:43:01

black skirt that accentuated her figure.

1:43:03

She carried an exquisite black handbag,

1:43:05

giving her the air of a successful

1:43:07

professional woman. Despite looking

1:43:09

somewhat anxious, she was undeniably a

1:43:12

great beauty. Her expression changed

1:43:14

when she saw Sati. Ryukiuchi walked

1:43:17

straight into the house. "My Yang, we

1:43:20

agreed to repay the money today. You

1:43:22

can't let me leave empty-handed again,

1:43:23

right?" Yuko Yang spoke calmly. "I want

1:43:26

to repay you, but as you can see, my

1:43:28

only beauty salon has been sealed off by

1:43:30

creditors. I have no way to run it. I

1:43:32

sold my car to pay off my husband's

1:43:34

other debts. I'm only renting this

1:43:36

apartment. I have to take on odd jobs

1:43:38

every day just to get by. Where do you

1:43:41

expect me to find 2 million [music] yen?

1:43:43

Ryukiuchi sneered. Ms. Yang, a debt must

1:43:46

be paid in blood. Since you can't pay, I

1:43:49

have no choice but to send you to sell

1:43:50

your body to pay the debt. Hearing this,

1:43:52

Yuko Yangyang<unk>s face changed. She

1:43:54

suddenly turned back, grabbed a fruit

1:43:56

knife from the table, and held it

1:43:58

tightly against her own neck. Ryu

1:44:00

Kiuchi, don't force me or I will die

1:44:03

right here. If I die, you won't get a

1:44:05

single scent. Seeing her willing to die,

1:44:07

Sati backed off two steps. Last month,

1:44:11

his company had pushed a debtor to jump

1:44:13

from a building, and the company was

1:44:15

almost shut down as a result. Now that

1:44:17

Yuko Yang was pulling the same trick,

1:44:19

Sati was truly at a loss. He looked at

1:44:22

you. What do you suggest? You stepped

1:44:24

[music] forward. Ms. Yang, please don't

1:44:27

get excited. We guarantee we won't force

1:44:29

you to sell your body. Please put the

1:44:31

knife down. Yuko Yang didn't believe

1:44:32

you. If you really won't force me, then

1:44:35

write me a statement allowing me to pay

1:44:36

back the 2 million over 3 years. I

1:44:38

guarantee I will pay it off. You looked

1:44:40

at Sati who shook his head. Seeing him

1:44:42

shake his head, Yuko Yang became

1:44:44

agitated again. Since you won't agree,

1:44:47

you were lying to me. As she spoke, she

1:44:49

pressed down and blood started dripping

1:44:51

from the blade. You were shocked. Miss

1:44:54

Yang, don't be impulsive. As the saying

1:44:56

goes, there are always more solutions

1:44:59

than problems. As long as you're alive,

1:45:01

there's a way. Yuko Yang<unk>s voice was

1:45:03

filled with despair. What solution? I

1:45:06

have nothing left, but they are forcing

1:45:08

me to pay right now. I'd rather die than

1:45:10

earn dirty money. You thought for a

1:45:12

moment. Miss Yang, I have an idea. I

1:45:15

know an extremely effective beauty

1:45:17

formula. Let's go talk to the creditors

1:45:20

to get your salon back into operation,

1:45:22

and then I'll give you this formula with

1:45:24

my secret recipe. Your business will

1:45:26

definitely boom. That's much faster than

1:45:29

working odd jobs. Yuko Yang was

1:45:31

skeptical. Is that true? Without wasting

1:45:34

words, you typed out a beauty formula on

1:45:36

your phone. After seeing the formula,

1:45:39

Yuko Yang finally put the knife down.

1:45:42

Ryuki breathed a sigh of relief.

1:45:45

Nishimura Ren had specifically asked you

1:45:47

to come along because he was worried

1:45:48

Yuko Yang would do something extreme.

1:45:51

If Satoshi had pushed her to her death

1:45:53

today, the debt collection business

1:45:55

would be finished. Although Yuko Yang

1:45:57

had put down the knife, she still had

1:45:59

little faith in your formula and

1:46:01

remained guarded, especially against

1:46:03

Sati. To get her to lower her guard and

1:46:05

help her reopen the salon, you said to

1:46:07

Sati, "Old seven, I'll [music] take

1:46:10

responsibility for Miss Yang<unk>s debt.

1:46:12

You can head back first." Ryu Kiuchi was

1:46:15

delighted. He knew Yuko Yang didn't even

1:46:18

have 100 yen to her name. Forcing her

1:46:21

would only lead to a tragedy and he was

1:46:23

happy to dump this hot potato on you.

1:46:26

Ryukiuchi didn't hesitate to take off.

1:46:29

Seeing him leave, Yuko Yang<unk>s

1:46:31

vigilance visibly faded. You then said,

1:46:33

"Miss Yang, I know you don't fully

1:46:35

believe in my formula. Why don't we mix

1:46:37

the ingredients and do a test?" Yuko

1:46:39

Yang was intrigued. What aspect does

1:46:42

this formula target, Mr. Ren? You

1:46:44

laughed. To be honest, I haven't used

1:46:46

this personally, but it's recorded in my

1:46:48

family's medical texts. By applying it

1:46:50

externally and taking it internally, it

1:46:52

makes the skin soft and fair, and it

1:46:55

also fades dark spots. Hearing that you

1:46:57

hadn't used it yourself made her doubt

1:46:59

it again, but she still went with you to

1:47:02

a Chinese medicine shop to buy the

1:47:04

ingredients and mixed a set of beauty

1:47:06

powders. Under your guidance, Yuko Yang

1:47:09

tested it on herself. The results were a

1:47:12

pleasant surprise. Recently, due to high

1:47:14

stress and working odd jobs, she was

1:47:16

sleeping only four or five hours a

1:47:17

night, making her skin rough with dark

1:47:19

spots. After using your powder, her skin

1:47:22

regained its white, supple texture, and

1:47:24

the spots had vanished. The formulas she

1:47:26

used in the past were effective, but

1:47:28

none acted this fast. Plus, after taking

1:47:31

the internal powder you prepared, she

1:47:33

felt her overall physical state improve.

1:47:35

For the last few days, her legs had felt

1:47:37

like lead, making every step a struggle.

1:47:40

Now, that heavy feeling had disappeared.

1:47:42

Yuko Yang waved her hand excitedly.

1:47:45

Let's go. We're going to see Miz Sun.

1:47:48

She was referring to the creditor who

1:47:50

had seized her salon, a supervisor at

1:47:52

Rangen Financial. You hailed a taxi and

1:47:56

accompanied Yuko Yang to a commercial

1:47:58

tower. Miss Sun's office was inside.

1:48:02

She's very difficult to deal with. Try

1:48:04

not to speak when we go in. Yuko Yang

1:48:07

warned you. When they arrived, she

1:48:10

approached the receptionist. I'd like to

1:48:12

see Miss Sun. Could you please ask if

1:48:14

she's free? Yuko Yang placed her

1:48:16

business card on the desk. The girl

1:48:17

picked up the card and made a call.

1:48:19

Putting down the phone, she politely

1:48:21

refused. I'm sorry, Miss Yang, but Miss

1:48:24

Sun says she is too busy to see you.

1:48:26

Yuko Yang quickly asked, "When will she

1:48:28

be free?" The girl shook her head. "She

1:48:30

didn't say, so I don't know." Yuko Yang

1:48:32

sighed. "It looks like we'll have to

1:48:34

wait here." They waited until the lunch

1:48:36

hour when they saw a woman in a

1:48:38

professional skirt escorting a fat bald

1:48:40

man out the door. Yuko Yang ran up to

1:48:42

her. Miss Sun, I have an important

1:48:44

matter to discuss. Could you spare me 5

1:48:47

minutes? Ms. Sun was in her early 30s.

1:48:51

Though not classically beautiful, she

1:48:53

had a tall and voluuptuous figure.

1:48:55

However, her attitude toward Yuko Yang

1:48:57

was arrogant. Miss Yang, right? We have

1:49:00

already entrusted the debt collection to

1:49:02

professionals. Don't waste your time

1:49:04

here.

1:49:05

Miss Sun turned to walk away. Yuko Yang

1:49:07

felt a wave of despair. If she couldn't

1:49:09

get her salon back, your formula was

1:49:11

useless. She couldn't think of a way to

1:49:13

persuade her. Just as Ms. Sun was about

1:49:16

to leave, [music] you spoke up. Miss

1:49:18

Son, I have a matter that I'm sure you'd

1:49:20

be interested in. Miss Sun stopped and

1:49:22

glanced at you dismissively.

1:49:24

Speak fast if you must.

1:49:27

She was a woman who lived in elite

1:49:29

circles. One look at your cheap under

1:49:31

200 yen clothes and she naturally looked

1:49:33

down on you. You saw her disdain but

1:49:36

weren't offended. Are you sure you want

1:49:38

me to say it here, Miss Sun? You might

1:49:40

regret it. Miss Sun glared at you coldly

1:49:43

and walked away. You spoke. Miss Sun,

1:49:46

the one last night must have been

1:49:48

exhausting. Yuko Yang was confused, not

1:49:50

understanding what you meant. But Ms.

1:49:52

Sun's face changed dramatically. She had

1:49:55

already entered the elevator, but

1:49:57

hearing your words, she immediately

1:49:58

retreated. Come to my [music] office.

1:50:01

Yuko Yang was shocked that a simple

1:50:03

strange sentence had worked. She hurried

1:50:05

to follow, but Miss Sun stopped her.

1:50:08

Miss Yang, you stay here. I have

1:50:09

something to discuss with this gentleman

1:50:11

alone. Yuko Yang waited at the door,

1:50:13

completely bewildered. You had thought

1:50:15

working as a security guard was just

1:50:18

about watching a gate, [music] but the

1:50:20

work you did most often was helping

1:50:22

tenants clear their clogged drains. You

1:50:24

had thought that working as a security

1:50:26

guard wouldn't yield much income, but

1:50:28

you were now using your special skills

1:50:30

to make wealthy women willingly send you

1:50:32

money. In the luxurious office, Miss Sun

1:50:35

shut the door and whispered, "What did

1:50:37

you mean by that?" You smiled faintly.

1:50:40

"We're both smart people." "Do you

1:50:43

really want me to spell it out?" Miss

1:50:45

Sun looked at you coldly. "Tell me," you

1:50:47

sighed. "Fine, if you insist. The bald

1:50:51

man you just escorted out was one of the

1:50:53

two men you were with last night. When

1:50:54

you saw her, you smelled the sense of

1:50:56

two different men on her. You deduced

1:50:59

that she had entertained both men

1:51:01

simultaneously last night. The scent of

1:51:03

one matched the bald man she had just

1:51:05

sent off. You knew Miss Son was married

1:51:08

with a child. She certainly wouldn't

1:51:10

want her husband to know about the two

1:51:12

men. Miss Sun realized you knew exactly

1:51:14

what she had done and immediately

1:51:15

panicked. The arrogant Miss Sun now wore

1:51:18

a fawning, pleading smile. "Sir, how

1:51:22

should I address you? I'm Ren, a friend

1:51:23

of Ms. Yang. [music] You can just call

1:51:25

me by my name." Miss Sun smiled

1:51:28

flatteringly. "Mr. Ren, may I ask how

1:51:31

you knew about last night?" [music] You

1:51:32

smiled mysteriously. "You might not

1:51:35

believe it, but I calculated it. My

1:51:37

family has been fortune tellers for

1:51:39

generations. This is a trivial matter

1:51:41

for me." "Miss Sun didn't believe you,

1:51:44

but seeing you wouldn't tell the truth."

1:51:46

She relented.

1:51:47

Ren, let's talk straight. What do you

1:51:50

want in exchange for keeping this

1:51:51

secret? You sat up straight. I don't

1:51:54

want to make it hard for you. I just

1:51:56

want to help Ms. Yang get her salon

1:51:58

back. Only by running her business can

1:52:00

she pay back the 2 million owed to your

1:52:02

company.

1:52:04

Miss Sun breathed a sigh of relief. Half

1:52:07

an hour later, you walked out with the

1:52:08

keys to the beauty salon. Yuko Yang had

1:52:11

been waiting anxiously. How was it? Did

1:52:13

she agree to see me? You shook your

1:52:15

head. You don't need to see her. As she

1:52:18

looked at you in despair, you jingled

1:52:20

the keys in your hand. Yuko Yang

1:52:22

recognized them immediately. She was

1:52:24

overjoyed. Ren, you are truly amazing.

1:52:27

As she hugged you tightly, she suddenly

1:52:29

realized how close she was, blushed, and

1:52:31

let go. Sorry, I was just too excited. I

1:52:34

didn't mean anything else. You certainly

1:52:35

weren't unhappy. Her beauty was on par

1:52:37

with Ran Ru Yangs, and you weren't a

1:52:39

normal man if you weren't pleased to be

1:52:40

hugged by such a beauty. It's fine. Just

1:52:44

don't squeeze so hard next time. Yuko

1:52:46

Yang blushed deeper, but wasn't angry.

1:52:49

The two of you went to the beauty salon

1:52:51

located next to an upscale complex. It

1:52:53

had been closed for half a month and was

1:52:54

covered in dust. Yuko Yang opened the

1:52:57

door and sighed with relief to find

1:52:59

everything still there. With her bank

1:53:02

accounts frozen due to her credit score,

1:53:04

she would have had no way to replace the

1:53:06

items. After cleaning up, her confidence

1:53:09

returned.

1:53:10

I'll reopen tomorrow. In 3 months, I can

1:53:13

pay off that 2 million.

1:53:16

Seeing her confidence return, you felt

1:53:17

relieved. Just as you were preparing to

1:53:19

head back to the hotel, you saw several

1:53:22

thugs approaching. Seeing them, Yuko

1:53:24

Yang<unk>s expression changed and she

1:53:26

tried to pull down the rolling shutter,

1:53:28

but it was too late. A thug in a red

1:53:31

vest caught the door. This isn't cool.

1:53:34

You said your husband owed us 100,000

1:53:37

yen [music] and you'd pay it, but the

1:53:39

next day you closed the shop. We've been

1:53:41

looking for you for half a month. Trying

1:53:44

to hide again? Yuko Yang couldn't hide.

1:53:46

Rey, I didn't mean to default. It was

1:53:49

just that the creditor closed me down. I

1:53:51

just got the keys back. Give me 1 month

1:53:53

and I promise to pay that 100,000. The

1:53:56

leader, Dyiky Mory, refused instantly.

1:53:59

Not a chance. How do I know you won't

1:54:01

close up tomorrow again? Yuko Yang

1:54:02

begged. Ry, please, just one month.

1:54:05

Okay. Dyiky my looked her up and down.

1:54:09

My boss says he doesn't really care

1:54:10

about the 100,000. He's just unhappy

1:54:13

that your husband fled overseas to avoid

1:54:15

the debt. Mistress, it wouldn't be hard

1:54:18

to wipe that debt clean. Just sleep with

1:54:20

our boss a few times. You're not a girl

1:54:22

who hasn't been with a man before.

1:54:24

Anyway, you lose nothing and get the

1:54:26

debt erased. Great deal, right? Yuko

1:54:28

Yang<unk>s face changed. Rey, I already

1:54:31

told your boss, Dragon, I'm not that

1:54:33

kind of woman. I'll pay the debt. I just

1:54:35

don't have the money right now. Dyiky

1:54:38

Mory's expression darkened. Mistress, if

1:54:41

that's how you want to be, don't blame

1:54:42

us for being rude. You stepped out and

1:54:44

shielded Yuko Yang. Friends, let's leave

1:54:47

room for future negotiations. Miss Yang

1:54:49

really doesn't have the money. Just give

1:54:51

her a month. It's better for everyone

1:54:54

than pushing her into a corner.

1:54:57

Dyikimorey looked you up and down.

1:54:59

Seeing you weren't particularly

1:55:00

muscular, he sneered. Kid, do you know

1:55:04

who I am? You dare to stick your nose in

1:55:06

my business? Are you looking for a

1:55:08

beating? Yuko Yang quickly pulled you

1:55:10

back. Rey, I'm sorry. Ren doesn't know

1:55:13

you and Dragon. Please, let me apologize

1:55:15

on his behalf. Dimori ignored her and

1:55:18

swung a fist at your face. Since this

1:55:21

kid doesn't know us, I'll have to teach

1:55:22

him. He was over 1.85 m tall and far

1:55:26

more muscular than you. He thought

1:55:29

dealing with you would be simple until

1:55:30

you caught his punch with ease. You

1:55:33

gripped his fist and applied a bit of

1:55:36

pressure. He felt as if his knuckles

1:55:38

were about to shatter. Dyiky my begged

1:55:42

for mercy.

1:55:44

After you let go, he stepped back and

1:55:46

pointed at you.

1:55:48

Kid, you just wait.

1:55:52

He reached for his phone to call for

1:55:54

backup. You didn't stop him. If you

1:55:57

didn't resolve this for Yuko Yang, the

1:55:58

shop wouldn't stay open and you wouldn't

1:56:00

get your 400,000 yen commission. To get

1:56:04

that, you had to settle this once and

1:56:05

for all. Dyke my quickly brought over a

1:56:08

dozen thugs carrying steel pipes. Today,

1:56:12

I'll show you the true power of Rey.

1:56:14

Yuko Yang was shocked and tried to plead

1:56:16

for you, but you stopped her. Don't

1:56:18

worry, Miss Yang. These small-time thugs

1:56:20

aren't my match. You walked toward the

1:56:22

door. Daiki and his men surrounded you.

1:56:25

Seeing your calm demeanor, he felt a bit

1:56:27

of doubt. Kid, I'll give you one more

1:56:30

chance. Apologize, and we can forget

1:56:32

this today. Ry, if you're scared, just

1:56:34

say so. Dy couldn't lose face in front

1:56:36

of his men. He hesitated, looking for a

1:56:39

way out. But his subordinates didn't see

1:56:41

his hesitation and rushed you, steel

1:56:43

pipes in hand. As if you had eyes in the

1:56:45

back of your head. Before they could

1:56:47

even get close, you unleashed a series

1:56:49

of back kicks, sending the two attackers

1:56:51

flying to the ground. Seeing the fight

1:56:53

had started, Daikim my gritted his teeth

1:56:57

and charged with his pipe. He still

1:56:58

believed that with over a dozen [music]

1:57:00

brothers, they couldn't possibly lose

1:57:02

until he actually engaged you and

1:57:05

realized how much he'd underestimated

1:57:07

your strength. Despite their numbers,

1:57:09

they were no match for you. In less than

1:57:11

5 minutes, Dyiki and all his men were

1:57:13

lying on the ground, unable to get up.

1:57:15

Yuko Yang looked on with eyes sparkling.

1:57:18

She had suffered so much humiliation in

1:57:20

the last two months, and she longed for

1:57:22

a strong man to protect her. Previously,

1:57:25

she was only grateful for the salon and

1:57:27

the recipe. But now, seeing you easily

1:57:30

defeat 10 men, the admiration she felt

1:57:33

was overwhelming. However, remembering

1:57:35

the consequences, she worried for you.

1:57:37

Ren, leave quickly. Behind this ray is a

1:57:40

big boss named Dalong Chian. He's

1:57:43

wealthy and powerful. You're no match

1:57:45

for him. You didn't leave. Don't worry,

1:57:48

Sister Yang. I wouldn't have acted if I

1:57:50

couldn't handle the aftermath. You

1:57:53

walked over to Dyiky my take me to your

1:57:55

boss. Dyke my glared at you. You better

1:57:58

think this through. My boss has experts

1:58:00

under him. [music] When you raised your

1:58:02

hand, he scrambled up. Fine. If you're

1:58:05

not afraid of dying, I'll take you to

1:58:06

Dragon. Seeing you following him, Yuko

1:58:09

Yang worriedly closed the shop and

1:58:11

followed you. You were surprised to see

1:58:12

her. I might have to fight. Hey D Longi,

1:58:15

you don't need to come. Yuko Yang shook

1:58:17

her head. You took this risk because of

1:58:20

me. How can I let you face this alone?

1:58:24

You hadn't expected that. She was loyal,

1:58:26

so you didn't try to dissuade her

1:58:27

further. The two of you got into the car

1:58:30

with Dikimi and soon arrived at a

1:58:32

factory on the outskirts of the city. As

1:58:34

you arrived at the office building, you

1:58:36

heard a voice booming. I'd like to see

1:58:38

what kind of expert dares to wreck my

1:58:40

Dalong Xians place. A middle-aged man in

1:58:43

his 40s walked out. He was over 1.9 m

1:58:47

tall, built like a tower with two blue

1:58:50

dragons tattooed on his arms that seemed

1:58:52

to writhe as he moved his muscles. Yuko

1:58:54

Yang<unk>s face changed. Although she

1:58:56

was brave to follow you, seeing Dong

1:58:59

Chian in person, she was intimidated by

1:59:01

his oppressive aura. You felt nothing.

1:59:04

Since receiving the inheritance, your

1:59:07

mindset had changed. This kind of

1:59:09

intimidation no longer stirred a ripple

1:59:11

in your heart. Dalong Tion saw you

1:59:13

facing him calmly despite your ordinary

1:59:16

appearance and realized your strength.

1:59:18

He cupped his hands. Mr. Ren, is it nice

1:59:21

to meet you? My brother went to collect

1:59:23

a debt today. And Ren, [music] you hit

1:59:25

my brother. That doesn't seem right,

1:59:27

does it? You didn't intend to fight him.

1:59:28

You knew this world wasn't about

1:59:30

violence, but human relations. Even if

1:59:32

you won the fight, you might create more

1:59:34

trouble for Yuko Yang. You wanted money,

1:59:36

not a blood feud. You cupped your hands.

1:59:40

My apologies, dragon. I was impulsive.

1:59:42

But your men were disrespectful to my

1:59:44

sister first. Since I'm here, let's

1:59:47

solve this. I'll pay the 100,000 yen

1:59:50

debt myself. What do you say? Dong Chian

1:59:53

wasn't surprised. And how do you intend

1:59:55

to pay it? You stepped forward. Since

1:59:57

it's a gambling debt, why not have one

1:59:59

more round? If I win, the debt is

2:00:01

settled. If I lose, I'll pay you

2:00:03

200,000. Dong Chian's eyes lit up. He

2:00:06

didn't care about the 100,000. He was

2:00:09

using it as an excuse to force Yuko Yang

2:00:11

to sleep with him. He loved her beauty

2:00:13

in the air of a strong woman she

2:00:15

carried. Conquering her would give him a

2:00:17

great sense of achievement. No problem.

2:00:19

How do you want to play? People say

2:00:21

being a security guard has no future,

2:00:23

but you discovered your own unique

2:00:25

specialty while doing it. Not only did

2:00:27

you help owners clear drains, you also

2:00:29

helped beautiful owners with their

2:00:31

health. You spoke calmly to the

2:00:32

underground casino owner. I don't

2:00:35

usually gamble and I don't know fancy

2:00:36

games like Py Gao. Let's keep it simple.

2:00:39

Dice, high or low? How about it? Dang.

2:00:42

Clean was delighted. He was a master at

2:00:45

dice. You can challenge me, but at my

2:00:47

level, 100,000 is too small. Let's make

2:00:50

it 500,000 minimum. You shook your head.

2:00:54

I don't have that much money. D Longquen

2:00:56

had anticipated this. He pointed at Yuko

2:00:58

Yang. Then let's use Ms. Yang as the

2:01:01

stake for the 500,000. If I win, I don't

2:01:04

need the money. She just has to sleep

2:01:06

with me for a month. You refused

2:01:08

immediately. That's not [music]

2:01:10

happening. This is a gamble between you

2:01:12

and me. She isn't a stake. The Long

2:01:14

Chian sneered.

2:01:17

Then how will you pay me? Yuko Yang

2:01:19

pulled you aside and whispered. Ren, how

2:01:22

confident are you? You had recently

2:01:23

learned to use spiritual energy to

2:01:25

manipulate small objects. While you

2:01:28

could only move very light things at low

2:01:30

speeds, it was more than enough to

2:01:31

control dice. 80%. Yuko Yang gritted her

2:01:35

teeth. Fine, then let's gamble. She

2:01:39

turned to Dalonian. I'm willing to be

2:01:41

the stake. If he loses, I'll sleep with

2:01:43

you for a month. She knew this was her

2:01:45

only chance. She wasn't betting on luck.

2:01:48

She was betting on you. Although she had

2:01:50

known you for only 2 days, she trusted

2:01:52

your character and your abilities.

2:01:54

Seeing her take the risk, you said

2:01:56

nothing further. Dong was overjoyed and

2:01:59

led you into a gambling room. His

2:02:01

factory was a front for an underground

2:02:03

casino. You sat down opposite him.

2:02:06

Dragon, you go first or me. Dong Kan was

2:02:09

full of confidence. Guests first. You

2:02:12

didn't stand on ceremony. You picked up

2:02:14

the dice, glanced at them, and gave them

2:02:16

a simple shake. The gamblers in the room

2:02:18

were veterans. One look at your

2:02:20

technique, and they knew you were a

2:02:21

complete novice. Dyikimorey was the

2:02:24

first to scoff. With that skill, you

2:02:27

dare challenge our boss? He's the god of

2:02:30

gamblers here. He can roll whatever

2:02:32

number he wants. Usoyama had just

2:02:35

finished speaking when you stopped the

2:02:36

dice cup in your hand. It's your turn to

2:02:39

roll, brother Ryu. Ryu Chian picked up

2:02:41

the dice cup in front of him and began

2:02:42

to shake it. In his hands, the cup

2:02:45

danced with such flare it rivaled the

2:02:47

gamblers in the movies. The crowd

2:02:49

erupted in cheers. USokoyama immediately

2:02:52

began sucking up to Ryu Kan again. Did

2:02:55

you see that, kid? That's the true power

2:02:57

of brother Ryu. You ignored USokoyama

2:03:00

and said to Ryukan, "Brother Ryu, you

2:03:03

reveal yours first." Standing behind

2:03:05

you, Yuko Yanagi had her heart in her

2:03:06

throat. Ryu Chan confidently lifted the

2:03:09

cup, but upon seeing that it wasn't

2:03:11

three sixes, his brow furrowed. What's

2:03:14

going on? I haven't missed in a long

2:03:15

time. What's wrong with today? When Yuko

2:03:18

Yanagi saw it wasn't three sixes, she

2:03:20

let out a silent sigh of relief. But

2:03:22

when she saw you were about to reveal

2:03:24

your dice, she held her breath again in

2:03:26

tension. You lifted your dice tray. It

2:03:29

was the highest possible result. Three

2:03:31

sixes. Yuko Yanigi was overjoyed. She

2:03:34

had bet her innocence on you, and you

2:03:37

hadn't let her down. Ryuian wore a look

2:03:40

of confusion.

2:03:41

Strange. Let's go again. That was your

2:03:44

first time using spiritual energy to

2:03:46

control dice, so you weren't fully

2:03:48

accustomed to it. However, after

2:03:50

controlling the dice in Ryujian's cup

2:03:52

and your own, you had gained more

2:03:54

experience. Seeing Ryuji wanted to keep

2:03:56

betting, you naturally wouldn't refuse.

2:03:59

But brother Ryu, shouldn't you pay me

2:04:01

the 400,000 yen first? Ryu Chan was

2:04:04

still a man of his word. He immediately

2:04:07

transferred the 400,000 yen to you. Then

2:04:10

he picked up the dice cup again and

2:04:11

shook it forcefully. This time, he shook

2:04:14

it for a long while before slamming it

2:04:16

onto the table. Ryu Chan glared at you.

2:04:20

Your turn. You picked up the cup again,

2:04:23

shook it carelessly a few times, and set

2:04:25

it down. Ryu Chan lifted the cup with a

2:04:28

flourish. Triple. But when he opened it,

2:04:31

it wasn't the three sixes he expected,

2:04:34

but three ones.

2:04:37

Ryu Chan's complexion changed. You

2:04:39

slowly lifted your cup. It was still

2:04:41

three sixes. Ryu Chian looked at you

2:04:43

coldly. Kid, did you pull some kind of

2:04:46

trick? In our world, reputation is

2:04:48

everything. Since you lost, you should

2:04:50

accept it. If you say, "I used tricks."

2:04:54

What evidence do you have? As far as I

2:04:57

know, you have at least six security

2:04:58

cameras in this room. You can easily

2:05:01

pull the footage and see if I used any

2:05:03

tricks. Ryu Chian didn't waste words. He

2:05:06

immediately had his men pull all the

2:05:07

security footage from the room and

2:05:09

examine it closely. After careful

2:05:11

review, Ryuian still couldn't find any

2:05:14

sign that you had cheated. Only then was

2:05:17

Ryu Chan convinced. Fine, since you won

2:05:20

by your own ability, I accept the loss.

2:05:23

As he spoke, he transferred another

2:05:25

500,000 yen to you. You hadn't expected

2:05:28

Ryuian to be so honorable. You said to

2:05:31

him, "Since you are a man of your word,

2:05:33

I'll give you a warning. [music] Be

2:05:35

careful of someone trying to stab you in

2:05:37

the back." Ryuchian frowned.

2:05:40

"Mr. Ren, what do you mean by that? You

2:05:43

didn't say anything more. instead

2:05:44

glancing at Ryu Chian's subordinates

2:05:46

nearby. Ryu Chian caught on instantly.

2:05:50

All of you get out. I have important

2:05:53

matters to discuss with Mr. Ren. No one

2:05:55

is to enter without my order. Everyone

2:05:57

acknowledged and left one by one. Only

2:06:01

when they were gone did Ryu Chian say,

2:06:03

"Mr. Ren, now you can tell me which

2:06:05

backstabbing rat is trying to frame me."

2:06:08

You shook your head. I don't know who

2:06:10

the person is either. I just noticed

2:06:12

something wrong with the bracelet you're

2:06:13

wearing, so I deduced someone might be

2:06:15

trying to harm you. Rio Chian frowned,

2:06:18

puzzled. This bracelet was blessed by

2:06:20

the abbot of the Tamagawa shrine. How

2:06:22

could there be a problem? You didn't

2:06:24

argue, but instead asked Ryuchian,

2:06:27

"Brother Ryu, have you been feeling

2:06:29

anxious lately? Sometimes you can't even

2:06:31

control your urge to lash out at

2:06:33

people." Ryuian was shocked. How did you

2:06:36

know? You pressed further.

2:06:38

Brother Ryu, think carefully. Did you

2:06:41

start feeling this way after you put on

2:06:42

this bracelet? Ryan thought for a

2:06:45

moment, his face contorting with rage

2:06:48

that expletive actually dared to plot

2:06:50

against me. As he spoke, he grabbed a

2:06:53

weapon from the side and prepared to

2:06:54

charge out. You were alarmed. Ryu

2:06:57

Chian's bracelet had been hit with the

2:06:59

bloodslaughter curse, which had severely

2:07:01

affected his mind. If you didn't stop

2:07:04

him, he would likely kill someone

2:07:06

tonight.

2:07:07

In today's highly regulated society, if

2:07:10

Ryuchian committed murder, he wouldn't

2:07:13

escape legal punishment. You suspected

2:07:16

that this was the true intent of the

2:07:18

person behind the plot. You grabbed

2:07:20

Ryuian and simultaneously used your

2:07:22

right hand to quickly press the soulgate

2:07:24

acupoint on his back. Struck in his

2:07:26

vital point, Ryuchan slumped to the

2:07:29

floor like a deflated balloon. USO

2:07:32

Coyama and the others outside saw this,

2:07:35

rushed in, and surrounded you. Kid, how

2:07:38

dare you attack our boss. Release him at

2:07:40

once or we'll tear you to pieces. You

2:07:42

glared at USO Coyama. Are you stupid?

2:07:45

I'm not trying to harm your boss. I'm

2:07:47

saving his life. Can't you see that?

2:07:49

Hearing this, the crowd stepped back a

2:07:52

few paces. You first took the bracelet

2:07:54

off Ryu Chan's right wrist, then quickly

2:07:57

tore open his shirt. A blood red pattern

2:08:00

shaped like a ghostly face appeared on

2:08:02

his chest. Everyone retreated in fear.

2:08:06

What is this? You didn't explain.

2:08:07

[music]

2:08:08

Instead, using your spiritual energy to

2:08:10

draw a sigil on Ryu Chan's chest. As the

2:08:12

translucent white light faded into his

2:08:14

body, the terrifying blood red ghost

2:08:17

face disappeared. Ryuian slowly regained

2:08:21

consciousness. As soon as he woke up, he

2:08:23

tightly gripped her hand. Master Ren,

2:08:26

you saved my life. Just now, I don't

2:08:28

know what came over me. I was suddenly

2:08:31

so irritable. All I wanted to do was

2:08:34

kill. If you hadn't stopped me, I would

2:08:36

have been finished. Ryuian dismissed his

2:08:39

men again before whispering to you,

2:08:42

"Master, what exactly is up with that

2:08:44

bracelet?" You picked up the bracelet

2:08:46

from the floor. This was hit with a

2:08:49

bloodslaughter curse. Anyone who wears

2:08:51

it becomes increasingly irritable and

2:08:54

eventually develops an insatiable blood

2:08:56

lust. Brother Ryu, your mind was being

2:08:59

controlled by this curse. Ryuchan

2:09:01

gritted his teeth in hatred. That

2:09:03

expletative actually dared to plot

2:09:05

against me. After cursing, he

2:09:08

immediately dialed a number. When the

2:09:09

call connected, he changed his tone.

2:09:12

Darling, where are you? I just got

2:09:14

something nice and want to give it to

2:09:15

you. Come to my office. After hanging

2:09:18

up, Ryu Chan explained to you, "My wife

2:09:21

gave me this bracelet. She told me it

2:09:23

was blessed by the abbot of the Tamagawa

2:09:25

shrine to ward off evil. I never

2:09:27

imagined that expletive would plot

2:09:29

against me. I don't understand. She eats

2:09:33

and drinks on my dime and I give her

2:09:35

200,000 yen in pocket money every month.

2:09:38

Why would she do this to me? Ryu Chian

2:09:40

took you and Yuko Yanagi to his office.

2:09:43

He didn't want to air his dirty laundry,

2:09:45

but since he needed your help to get to

2:09:47

the bottom of the plot, he had to let

2:09:49

you in on it. Having spent 20 years in

2:09:51

the underworld, he knew how dangerous it

2:09:54

was. His wife plotting against him meant

2:09:56

someone else was pulling the strings. If

2:09:59

he couldn't expose the mastermind, he

2:10:01

might fall for it again. Master Ren,

2:10:04

please hide in the small room inside

2:10:06

with Miss Yanagi. You and Yuko Yanagi

2:10:09

had just hidden in the back room when

2:10:11

you heard the sound of the door opening.

2:10:13

You peeked through the window crack and

2:10:14

saw a middle-aged woman in a red dress

2:10:16

enter. She looked to be about 40. She

2:10:19

had been a beauty in her youth, and

2:10:20

though she was a bit plump now, she

2:10:22

still held the charm of a mature woman.

2:10:25

You knew this must be Ryu Chan's wife,

2:10:27

Umech. As soon as Ume entered, she sat

2:10:31

opposite Ryu Chan with a smile. Honey,

2:10:34

you said you had something nice for me.

2:10:37

What is it? Ryu Chan took out the

2:10:39

bracelet and placed it in front of her.

2:10:41

A flash of panic crossed Ume's eyes, but

2:10:44

she quickly masked it. Honey, isn't this

2:10:47

the bracelet I gave you? Do you want to

2:10:48

give it back to me? Ryujian's voice was

2:10:51

cold. Tell me the truth. Where did this

2:10:54

bracelet really come from? The panic in

2:10:56

Ume's eyes deepened, but she tried to

2:10:58

cover it. I got this from the Tamagawa

2:11:01

shrine. They told me it was blessed by

2:11:02

the abbott to ward off evil, so I bought

2:11:04

it for you. Ryan was no fool. He had

2:11:08

already caught the panic in his wife's

2:11:10

eyes twice.

2:11:12

In that case, can you help me get

2:11:14

another one? A friend of mine really

2:11:16

likes it and wants one, too.

2:11:19

Ume breathed a silent sigh of relief. No

2:11:23

problem. I'll go to the Tamagawa shrine

2:11:25

tomorrow and get you another one, but

2:11:27

these aren't cheap. [music] They're

2:11:29

300,000 yen each. Ryuian immediately

2:11:32

took out his phone and transferred

2:11:34

300,000 yen to Ume.

2:11:36

Ume happily kissed Ryu Chian on the

2:11:39

cheek. Honey, you're the best. Are you

2:11:42

coming home to sleep tonight? Ryu Kon

2:11:44

shook his head.

2:11:46

I won't be home tonight. I have some

2:11:48

important guests to host. Ume walked

2:11:52

behind Ryu Chan and began massaging his

2:11:54

shoulders. You work too hard, honey. Do

2:11:56

you want me to give you a full body

2:11:58

massage? Ryu Chan took her hand. No

2:12:01

need. I'm busy with these guests. Don't

2:12:04

cause trouble here.

2:12:07

After dismissing Ume, Ryu Chan opened

2:12:10

the door to the small room. Master, did

2:12:13

you notice anything wrong with my wife?

2:12:16

You looked at Yuko Yanagi before pulling

2:12:18

Ryu Chan aside and whispering,

2:12:20

"Sister-in-law is likely unfaithful." As

2:12:23

your spiritual energy increased, your

2:12:26

perception had become sharper. Even

2:12:28

through the door, you could sense the

2:12:30

presence of another man's aura within

2:12:31

Ume, a man who was definitely not Ryian.

2:12:36

That was why you dared to say this. Ryu

2:12:38

Chan's face turned ghastly. In fact, he

2:12:42

had already suspected as much, but

2:12:44

hearing you confirm it made him furious.

2:12:47

However, given his position, he wasn't a

2:12:49

man without patience. He clenched his

2:12:51

fists. I knew it. Why else would that

2:12:55

exploitative refused to let me touch her

2:12:56

lately? It seems this bracelet is

2:12:59

connected to that expletative she's

2:13:01

with.

2:13:02

Ryukian stepped aside to make a call.

2:13:05

Half an hour later, he said to you,

2:13:07

"Master, can you accompany me to catch

2:13:09

them in the act?" That expletive has

2:13:11

gone to a hotel with a pretty boy. My

2:13:15

men tell me the boy is just a jigalo

2:13:16

from a club, but I suspect someone is

2:13:19

pulling the strings. People say there is

2:13:21

no future in being a security guard, but

2:13:24

you are thriving as a security guard in

2:13:26

the villa district. You don't just help

2:13:28

residents unclog their drains. You've

2:13:30

also made a fortune treating the

2:13:31

illnesses of beautiful residents. Today,

2:13:34

you didn't expect boss Kan to invite you

2:13:36

to catch an affair. You didn't refuse.

2:13:39

No problem. You were actually interested

2:13:42

in this. It wasn't because you wanted to

2:13:44

watch the chaos involving Ryu Chian's

2:13:46

wife. You weren't that bored. You had

2:13:49

discovered that the bloodslaughter curse

2:13:50

on the bracelet was of the same origin

2:13:52

as the peach blossom curse on Bwanchin.

2:13:55

This meant that the person who cursed

2:13:57

Ryu Chan might be the same person who

2:13:59

cursed Bwanchin. Or at least they were

2:14:02

related. You knew Biwanchin had been

2:14:04

investigating the mysterious person who

2:14:07

cursed her, but she hadn't found any

2:14:09

clues. Helping Ryuian might provide

2:14:12

clues for Biwanchin. Besides, you didn't

2:14:15

need to treat Biwanchin tonight anyway,

2:14:17

so this was a perfect opportunity. After

2:14:19

leaving Ryu Chians factory, you sent

2:14:21

Yuko Yanagi home before following him to

2:14:23

the hotel. The car drove to a remote

2:14:25

hotel. Ryu Chian took you directly

2:14:27

upstairs. The girl at the front desk

2:14:29

wanted to stop them, but seeing the two

2:14:32

blue dragon tattoos on Ryu Chan's arms,

2:14:35

she sat back down in silence. Ryu Chan

2:14:38

took four or five of his brothers and

2:14:40

you directly to room 303. Ryu Chan gave

2:14:43

a look to his subordinate who stepped

2:14:44

forward and knocked. Police raid. A few

2:14:48

minutes later, a slick-haired man opened

2:14:50

the door. He looked to be in his early

2:14:52

20s. Perhaps in his haste, he had even

2:14:54

put his undershirt on backward. Seeing

2:14:57

Ryu Chan at the door, the man was

2:14:59

stunned.

2:15:01

Who are you? Before Ryu Chian could

2:15:03

finish, Ume's complaint came from inside

2:15:06

the room. Which police station is so

2:15:09

bored that they have to bother a couple

2:15:10

in a hotel room? Without waiting for Ume

2:15:13

to finish, Ryukian grabbed the young man

2:15:15

by the hair and dragged him into the

2:15:17

room. Ume was still lazily getting

2:15:19

dressed. You police officers dare to lay

2:15:22

a hand on me? Ume looked up and her face

2:15:26

turned ghostly pale. She collapsed to

2:15:29

her knees with a thud. Honey, I was

2:15:32

wrong. Ryu Chan slapped Ume across the

2:15:36

face. You shameless thing. I've provided

2:15:39

for you with the best and you go behind

2:15:41

my back and cheat on me. Seeing Ryu

2:15:43

Chan's anger, you quickly held him back.

2:15:46

Brother Ryu, don't be impulsive. This

2:15:48

kind of woman isn't worth getting angry

2:15:50

over. If you kill her, you'll end up in

2:15:52

prison. It's more important to find out

2:15:54

the truth about that bracelet. Ryu Chian

2:15:57

calmed down. In truth, Ume wasn't his

2:16:00

only woman, and his physical passion for

2:16:02

her was not as intense as that of an

2:16:04

average couple. Ryu Chian tossed the

2:16:06

pretty boy to his subordinates and threw

2:16:08

Ume onto the bed. Now, tell me the

2:16:11

truth. Where did that bracelet come

2:16:12

from? The boy on the side was so

2:16:14

frightened, his face turned pale, and he

2:16:16

tried to run, but he hadn't counted on

2:16:19

Ryu Chian leaving two men at the door.

2:16:21

As he reached the exit, USO Coyama

2:16:23

kicked him in the stomach and knocked

2:16:25

him back inside. Ume quickly pointed at

2:16:27

the boy on the floor. It's all Wu

2:16:29

Ching's doing. He told me to have you

2:16:31

wear it. He said it was a good thing

2:16:33

that would bring you constant [music]

2:16:34

wealth. Seeing Ume so pale, Ryu Chan

2:16:37

figured she wasn't lying. He turned to

2:16:40

the boy Wuing and stepped on his

2:16:42

stomach, making it hard for him to

2:16:44

breathe. Speak. Who told you to use this

2:16:47

cursed bracelet to plot against me?

2:16:49

Wuing was trembling. It It was your

2:16:52

closest brother, Takahashi San Hayang.

2:16:54

Ryu Chian was skeptical. Impossible.

2:16:57

Takahashi San Hayang is my best brother.

2:17:00

We fought side by side for over 10 years

2:17:02

to get where I am today. How could he

2:17:04

plot against me? Wuing shook his head. I

2:17:07

don't know about that, but he is the one

2:17:09

who told me to seduce the mistress and

2:17:11

use her to get that bracelet to you. Ryu

2:17:13

Kan didn't think Wuing was lying, but he

2:17:15

remained deeply confused. He turned to

2:17:17

you. Do you think this guy is telling

2:17:19

the truth? You nodded. I don't think he

2:17:21

would dare lie to you. Ryu Chan was even

2:17:24

more confused. But this makes no sense.

2:17:27

Takahashi San Hayang is not only my

2:17:29

brother, but a shareholder in my

2:17:30

factory. If I die, the company's clients

2:17:34

will definitely disappear. He won't gain

2:17:36

anything. He'll lose a huge amount of

2:17:38

money. You, however, had already seen

2:17:41

the problem. You looked at Ume

2:17:44

sister-in-law. How long have you been

2:17:46

intimate with Takahashi San Hayang?

2:17:48

Umeikome May's face changed

2:17:49

dramatically.

2:17:50

What? What nonsense are you talking

2:17:53

about? I've always treated Takahashi San

2:17:55

Hayyang like a brother. How could I be

2:17:57

intimate with him? You said If

2:17:59

I'm not mistaken, you were together just

2:18:01

3 days ago. And Takahashi San Hayang

2:18:03

didn't take any precautions. You had

2:18:04

long ago sensed not only Wuing<unk>s

2:18:06

aura within Ume, but also that of

2:18:09

another man, a man who was not Ryu

2:18:12

Chian. You hadn't intended to bring it

2:18:14

up, but hearing Ryu Chian wonder why

2:18:16

Takahashi San Hayang would harm him, you

2:18:18

deduced that Takahashi San Hayang likely

2:18:21

did it because he feared Ryu Chian would

2:18:23

discover their affair and decided to

2:18:25

strike first. Umeikome's eyes widened in

2:18:28

horror. How? How do you know? Are you

2:18:30

human or a ghost? Ryu Chian had thought

2:18:33

you were wrong, but hearing his wife's

2:18:34

reaction, his eyes turned red. You

2:18:37

expletive? How dare you cheat on me with

2:18:40

Takahashi San Hayyang. Tell me the

2:18:43

truth. How long has this been going on?

2:18:45

Ume May was hoisted up by her collar,

2:18:48

trembling. Honey, we were just drinking

2:18:50

a few days ago and it was an accident. I

2:18:52

swear that was the only time. Ryu Chan

2:18:55

didn't believe a word she said and

2:18:57

looked at you. Master Ren, is she

2:19:00

telling the truth? If it was just an

2:19:02

accidental night after drinking, it

2:19:04

would be easier for Ryu Chien to take.

2:19:06

You looked at him. Brother Ryu, do you

2:19:09

want the truth or the lie? Ryuian caught

2:19:12

on instantly. You're saying this

2:19:14

expletative is still lying to me? You

2:19:17

acted mysterious? Counting on your

2:19:20

fingers while your left hand gently

2:19:21

rested on Ume's neck. According to my

2:19:24

calculations, sister-in-law, you and

2:19:27

Takahashi San Hayyang have maintained a

2:19:29

relationship for at least 20 years, and

2:19:31

you even bore him a son. You weren't

2:19:33

actually calculating. You had deduced it

2:19:35

from her physiological signs and the

2:19:37

aura of the man within her. Your insight

2:19:39

into human aura was like laboratory

2:19:41

analysis. You didn't need equipment.

2:19:43

Just by resting your fingers on someone,

2:19:46

you could use spiritual energy to

2:19:47

determine how many men a woman had slept

2:19:49

with and when, with accuracy down to the

2:19:52

month. This was a new ability you

2:19:54

discovered after your spiritual energy

2:19:56

significantly increased following your

2:19:58

yinyang fusion with Lan Rua Yang and

2:20:01

Meowzi Chong yesterday. Umeiko May was

2:20:03

terrified, falling to her knees again.

2:20:06

Brother Ryu, I was wrong. Please spare

2:20:09

me. Ryu Chian's eyes were bloodshot.

2:20:12

You expletive. You even bore Takahashi

2:20:16

San Hayyang a son. Ryu Chian suddenly

2:20:19

realized something. So my son might

2:20:22

actually be yours and Takahashi San

2:20:25

Hayyangs. I'm going for a paternity test

2:20:28

tomorrow. You shook your head. No need

2:20:30

to go to that trouble. Just show me a

2:20:32

picture of your son and Takahashi Sanhay

2:20:34

and I'll know if they're father and son.

2:20:35

Ryu Chian immediately took out his

2:20:37

phone. You only had to glance at the

2:20:39

photo. Brother Ryu, there is a 70%

2:20:43

chance your son is Takahashi San

2:20:44

Hayangs, but he is 100% not yours. Ryu

2:20:48

Chan, hit by one blow after another,

2:20:50

actually became calm. You two deceived

2:20:54

me for over a decade. I married you

2:20:56

because I thought you were pregnant with

2:20:57

my child. All these years I fed you and

2:21:00

you treated me like a fool. Fearing Ryu

2:21:02

Chan might lose control and kill

2:21:04

Umeikome. You pulled him away. Brother

2:21:07

Ryu, it's already happened. Getting

2:21:09

angry won't help. The most important

2:21:11

thing is to capture Takahashi Sanhayang

2:21:13

and find out where he got that bracelet

2:21:15

so we can avoid this in the future. In

2:21:18

truth, you wanted to find the source of

2:21:20

the bracelet to help Baiwan find the

2:21:22

person who cursed her. Ryu Chian took

2:21:24

out his phone and called Takahashi San

2:21:26

Hayang. Hi, young brother isn't feeling

2:21:28

great today. Can you come over and have

2:21:29

a drink with me? Ryuchians patience was

2:21:32

truly impressive, earning even your

2:21:34

admiration. His wife had been sleeping

2:21:36

with this man for 20 years, and he was

2:21:38

even raising their son. Yet, he could

2:21:40

still act as if nothing was wrong to

2:21:42

lure him in. Gao Hayyang replied

2:21:45

immediately, "Brother, where are you?

2:21:47

I'm coming over now." Ryu Chian glanced

2:21:50

at Ume. Come to my office. After hanging

2:21:53

up, Ryukian said to you, "Master Ren,

2:21:56

thank you so much today. If [music] it

2:21:58

weren't for you, I'd still be blind to

2:21:59

this affair." "Don't worry, I won't let

2:22:02

you work for nothing." He pulled out a

2:22:05

card. There's a million yen on this card

2:22:07

as a token of my gratitude. If you ever

2:22:10

have any trouble, don't hesitate to call

2:22:11

me. You were pleased. Thank you, brother

2:22:14

Ryu. Back at the factory, Ryu Chan

2:22:16

received a message. Takahashi San

2:22:19

Hayyang had somehow found out about the

2:22:21

hotel raid and had fled Shanghai in the

2:22:24

middle of the night. Learning that

2:22:25

Takahashi San Hayang had fled, you had

2:22:27

to temporarily abandon the search for

2:22:29

the bracelet's origin. Though you didn't

2:22:31

find the lead, you had earned 2 million

2:22:33

yen, which was a great hall. After

2:22:36

bidding farewell to Ryu Chan, you left

2:22:38

the industrial district by taxi. You had

2:22:40

planned to return to the hotel, but as

2:22:42

soon as you got in the car, you received

2:22:44

a call from Yuko Yanagi. As you

2:22:46

answered, you heard her worried voice.

2:22:49

Ren, did things go smoothly with Brother

2:22:51

Ryu? You nodded. It went well. Brother

2:22:54

Ryu received quite a shock. I'm on my

2:22:56

way back to the hotel. Yakoyunagi said

2:22:58

immediately. If you aren't too busy,

2:23:01

could you come to the beauty salon and

2:23:02

help me with a small favor? You knew she

2:23:04

was in trouble. What's wrong? Are some

2:23:07

thugs bothering you again? Yuko Yanagi

2:23:09

shook her head. No, it's a mouse. I

2:23:11

found one upstairs, and now I'm too

2:23:13

scared to go up to bathe and sleep.

2:23:15

Hearing it was just a mouse, you

2:23:17

relaxed. Is that all? Don't be afraid.

2:23:19

I'm coming over now. It was the middle

2:23:21

of the night and the surrounding shops

2:23:23

were closed. When you arrived, Yuko

2:23:26

Yanagi was standing with a stick,

2:23:28

watching the stairs nervously, seeing

2:23:30

her so frightened. You walked over with

2:23:32

a smile. Sister Yanagi, you aren't even

2:23:35

afraid of death. Why are you so scared

2:23:37

of a tiny mouse? Yuko Yanagi let out a

2:23:40

long sigh of relief when she saw you.

2:23:43

Ren, you came just in time. After that

2:23:46

mouse ran upstairs, it never came out.

2:23:49

[music] And now I'm too scared to go up

2:23:51

or take a shower. You went upstairs to

2:23:53

check, but didn't see the mouse. Using a

2:23:56

bit of spiritual energy, you sensed it

2:23:58

hiding in one of the treatment rooms.

2:24:00

Just as you were looking for a stick,

2:24:01

you realized Yuko Yanagi was right

2:24:04

behind you. When you turned, you bumped

2:24:06

into each other. You felt the familiar,

2:24:08

firm pressure of Yuko Yanagi against

2:24:10

you. A thought crossed your mind bigger

2:24:13

than Lanua Yangs. Up to now, you had

2:24:16

been with three women. But with Z Chong

2:24:18

Meow, you had been too drunk to know

2:24:20

anything. And as for Ruan Lu, her

2:24:23

dimensions couldn't compare to Yuko

2:24:25

Yanagi's. Yuko Yanagi, who had been

2:24:27

focused on her fear, blushed upon

2:24:28

bumping into you. She was a proper woman

2:24:31

who hadn't been this close to a man

2:24:32

other than her husband. Tonight, your

2:24:34

heroic actions had already caused her to

2:24:36

fall for you. And in this intimate

2:24:38

contact, she felt her whole body go

2:24:40

soft. Seeing her about to collapse, you

2:24:43

quickly caught her by the waist. Sister

2:24:45

Yanigi, are you okay? In your arms, she

2:24:48

felt even weaker, but she was too

2:24:50

embarrassed to let you see it. I'm just

2:24:52

a little shaken. I'll be fine after a

2:24:54

rest. You carried her to a treatment bed

2:24:57

and massaged her chest to help her heart

2:24:59

rate. You were only trying to help her

2:25:01

relax, but because of the sensitive

2:25:03

area, her body's reaction was even

2:25:05

stronger. People look down on being a

2:25:08

security guard, but you're thriving as a

2:25:10

security guard in the villa district.

2:25:13

You don't just help residents unclog

2:25:15

their drains. You've also made a fortune

2:25:17

treating the illnesses of beautiful

2:25:18

residents, but you were eventually

2:25:20

discovered by her jealous husband. He

2:25:22

demanded the property management fire

2:25:23

you. Yet, you used your supreme medical

2:25:25

skills to capture the hearts of the

2:25:27

wealthy women. You placed Yuko Yanagi on

2:25:30

the bed, noticing her reaction was even

2:25:32

stronger than yours. She was a normal

2:25:35

woman. She had needs and her husband had

2:25:37

been gone for months hiding from debts.

2:25:39

For 3 months, she hadn't been with a

2:25:41

man. You had saved her from the edge of

2:25:42

a cliff and were infinitely brave. Her

2:25:44

inner admiration caused her to fantasize

2:25:46

about you. Pressed by your touch, she

2:25:48

felt like a squeezed sponge. The

2:25:50

moisture was unstoppable, causing her

2:25:52

even more embarrassment. Fearing you

2:25:54

would see her as a loose woman, she kept

2:25:57

her legs tightly [music] shut to hide

2:25:58

her secret. You realized her situation.

2:26:01

You weren't the naive kid you once were.

2:26:04

Every time you held Lan Ruo Yang, she

2:26:06

reacted the same way. Except Lan Ruo

2:26:09

didn't hold it in. She would just push

2:26:11

you down. You stepped back. Sister

2:26:15

Yanugi, I'll go take care of that mouse.

2:26:17

Only when you turn to leave did she

2:26:19

finally relax. You killed the mouse with

2:26:21

your stick easily. Yuko Yanagi let out a

2:26:23

sigh of relief. Sister Yanagi, since the

2:26:26

mouse is dead, I'll head back. Yuko

2:26:28

Yanagi grabbed you. Can you not go

2:26:30

tonight? You looked at her. Sister, is

2:26:32

that appropriate? You weren't divorced

2:26:34

yet. Her face turned even redder,

2:26:37

looking enchanting. You had only known

2:26:39

her for a day, but so much had happened

2:26:41

that you knew she was a good woman. If

2:26:43

she made the move, you wouldn't refuse.

2:26:46

Her beauty was on par with Lenuo Yangs,

2:26:48

and merging with her would certainly

2:26:49

boost your spiritual energy. But Yuko

2:26:52

Yanagi blushed and stepped back. Don't

2:26:54

misunderstand. I didn't mean that. I'm

2:26:57

just afraid more mice will appear. There

2:26:59

are two small rooms on the second floor.

2:27:01

We can each sleep in one.

2:27:04

She went to get a pair of men's pajamas.

2:27:08

These were my husbands. They should fit

2:27:11

you. You didn't refuse. It was the early

2:27:13

hours of the morning, and after a quick

2:27:15

shower, you both went to your respective

2:27:17

rooms. At dawn, Yuko Yanagi was already

2:27:20

up preparing for business. With your

2:27:22

help, she had retrieved the salon, but

2:27:25

the true test had begun. If your beauty

2:27:27

formula didn't open the market, Sun Xiao

2:27:29

Yu from Ringan Financial would seize it

2:27:31

again in a month. Ringan Financial was a

2:27:34

massive international firm and Sun Xiao

2:27:37

only had the authority to give her a

2:27:38

1-month grace period. You knew today's

2:27:41

business would decide her fate. You

2:27:43

didn't leave. You had nothing to do and

2:27:46

you needed to help Bunchin with her

2:27:47

curse [music] anyway. After your last

2:27:49

treatment, she was stable for 3 days.

2:27:52

Even if you delayed it a day, it would

2:27:54

be fine. But this was different. You

2:27:56

hadn't tested this beauty formula

2:27:57

yourself, and you were worried about

2:27:59

accidents. Staying here meant you could

2:28:01

help if something went wrong. [music]

2:28:03

After breakfast, she hung the new

2:28:05

business and new secret formula signs.

2:28:07

They waited until noon without a single

2:28:10

customer, making her anxious. She posted

2:28:12

the news again to her clients and social

2:28:14

circle. At 2:00 in the afternoon, the

2:28:16

first customer arrived, a woman in her

2:28:18

40s who had developed spots after her

2:28:20

third pregnancy. Hearing about the

2:28:23

hundfold better results, Sato Feefe came

2:28:25

to test it out. Yuko Yanagi was

2:28:27

overjoyed. Manager Sato, long time no

2:28:30

see. Leo Fifi rolled her eyes. Your shop

2:28:33

has been closed for a month. I still

2:28:35

have 2,000 yen worth of credit left

2:28:37

here. Yuko Yanagi felt embarrassed. My

2:28:40

apologies. I had some trouble. I

2:28:42

guarantee you'll be satisfied today, but

2:28:44

this new spot removal package is

2:28:46

expensive. 8 800 yen per session. Liu

2:28:50

Fifi pulled out her phone and

2:28:51

transferred 6,000 to cover her credit.

2:28:53

Forget 88 800. If it can remove these

2:28:56

damn spots, I'd pay 88,000. If it

2:28:59

doesn't work, I'm filing a complaint.

2:29:00

Yuko Yanagi swore she would guarantee

2:29:02

it. Leo FIF went upstairs for the facial

2:29:05

treatment. You wanted to see the

2:29:07

effects, but it wasn't appropriate to go

2:29:09

upstairs, so you waited below. Half an

2:29:11

hour later, a cheer of joy came from

2:29:14

upstairs. It's beautiful. Madam, where

2:29:17

did you get this formula? The results

2:29:19

are amazing. I've been to seven or eight

2:29:21

shops trying a dozen so-called formulas,

2:29:24

and none worked. I can't believe it

2:29:27

faded this much in just one session.

2:29:29

Hearing this, you breathed a sigh of

2:29:31

relief. Yuko Yanagi was thrilled. I told

2:29:34

you we also have internal medicine

2:29:36

powder to help the results even more.

2:29:38

It's $18,000 for a course. Leo Fe, whose

2:29:41

family ran a major business, didn't care

2:29:43

about money and immediately transferred

2:29:44

the 18,000.

2:29:46

After Sato Fei left, Yuko Yanagi sighed

2:29:50

in relief. Because Sato Fei advertised

2:29:53

in her circle of wealthy friends, two

2:29:55

more ladies came in the afternoon,

2:29:57

spending over 20,000 each. By the end of

2:30:00

the day, she had earned over 80,000 yen

2:30:02

and recovered her confidence. You left

2:30:05

the salon and called Biwin. Sister Bi,

2:30:08

are you free tonight? By Wanchin's voice

2:30:11

was exceptionally gentle. Is your debt

2:30:14

collection business finished? You nodded

2:30:17

just about. By Wanchin was pleased. Then

2:30:20

let's meet at the old spot tonight. Even

2:30:22

though she wasn't intimate with you, she

2:30:24

felt amazing after your curse-breaking

2:30:27

treatments. A sensation she had become

2:30:29

addicted to. That evening, Baneen

2:30:32

arrived at the hotel early. She had

2:30:34

bought you many things, clothes,

2:30:36

supplies, and a luxury watch worth over

2:30:39

a h 100,000. She didn't brag, just laid

2:30:41

them out in the room. She was afraid

2:30:43

that telling you how expensive they were

2:30:45

would make you feel inferior. Yet, she

2:30:47

was also worried about you wearing

2:30:49

shabby clothes and being looked down

2:30:51

upon by others. You had to [music] admit

2:30:54

Baywanchin was truly thoughtful toward

2:30:56

you. When you arrived, she was sleeping

2:30:58

on a chair by the window. She was

2:30:59

wearing a royal blue kneelength dress

2:31:01

and sandals, her long legs resting on

2:31:03

the chair, looking elegant. Fearing she

2:31:06

might catch a cold, you turn the AC up

2:31:07

2°, waking her. Ran 18 knows you're

2:31:11

here. You hadn't seen her in two days

2:31:14

and noticed she looked haggarded, but it

2:31:16

only added to her charm, making your

2:31:18

heart race. Did you run into trouble

2:31:21

these past 2 days? Did USO Coyama bully

2:31:24

you? She shook her head with a smile.

2:31:27

No, it's just that my father has been

2:31:29

coming over every day, insisting I go

2:31:31

back to take over his business. I didn't

2:31:33

agree, so he keeps coming by, and I

2:31:36

haven't slept well. Hearing this, you

2:31:37

felt better. You took out your phone.

2:31:39

Sister B. I earned 2 million recently.

2:31:42

You only need to advance 1 million for

2:31:44

the company registration. You

2:31:46

transferred 2 million to her. Bwan

2:31:49

looked at the transfer but didn't accept

2:31:51

it. What's this? We haven't seen each

2:31:54

other for a few days and now you're

2:31:55

treating me like a stranger. You shook

2:31:57

your head. That's not what I mean. This

2:31:59

company relies on your business

2:32:01

connections. If I can't even afford the

2:32:03

registration fee, that would be

2:32:05

unacceptable. Biwanshin smiled and sat

2:32:07

beside you. Afraid of being called a

2:32:10

kept man, you suddenly smelled a faint

2:32:12

exotic fragrance, one unique to

2:32:14

Bwanchin. You remembered a video you saw

2:32:16

online. It said that if a woman suddenly

2:32:19

exhibits a unique exotic fragrance, it

2:32:21

means she is falling for a man, a

2:32:23

biological instinct like a peacock

2:32:25

spreading its tail. You didn't know if

2:32:27

that was the case, but you knew you

2:32:29

hadn't smelled it the first two times

2:32:30

you met. You thought of her curse.

2:32:32

Sister, have you found the person who

2:32:34

cursed you? By Wanchin shook her head.

2:32:37

No clues yet, you said immediately.

2:32:40

[music] I ran into someone today who was

2:32:42

also cursed. Although his curse is

2:32:44

different from your peach blossom curse,

2:32:46

they belong to the same sect. It's

2:32:48

possible it's the same person. You told

2:32:51

her about Ryu Chian. Biwan frowned. Now

2:32:55

that you mention it, I remember. Last

2:32:58

month at a friend's party, I met a

2:32:59

dowist nun who claimed to be from the

2:33:01

Tamagawa shrine. I didn't pay it much

2:33:03

mind then, but it seems that was right

2:33:06

around when the abnormalities started.

2:33:07

You were elated. Can you still contact

2:33:10

her? While you weren't sure you could

2:33:12

defeat her, you knew that if you met

2:33:14

her, you would be able to tell if she

2:33:16

was the one who cursed Bwanchin. Every

2:33:18

curse is completed with the caster's

2:33:20

blood essence, and you could use your

2:33:22

unique secret technique to compare it

2:33:24

with the curse on Bwanchin.

2:33:26

Bwan shook her head. I lost touch. My

2:33:30

friend said she's very mysterious and is

2:33:32

always unreachable. You thought for a

2:33:34

moment. Then let's go to the Tamagawa

2:33:36

shrine tomorrow. You knew there were

2:33:38

many powerful experts in the world and

2:33:40

this trip might be dangerous, but to

2:33:42

repay Bwanchin for her help, you decided

2:33:45

to go. By Wanchin nodded. I'll take a

2:33:48

day off tomorrow to go with you. That

2:33:50

night after you broke the curse, you

2:33:52

stayed at the hotel. It was a

2:33:54

two-bedroom suite, but you didn't have

2:33:56

intimacy. The next morning, you went to

2:33:59

the restaurant where you saw USO Coyama

2:34:02

with that same woman with the

2:34:03

exaggerated figure. People look down on

2:34:06

being a security guard. But you are

2:34:08

thriving as a security guard in the

2:34:10

villa district. You've made a fortune

2:34:12

treating the illnesses of beautiful

2:34:14

residents. Yet, the resident USO Coyama

2:34:17

tries every trick to get you fired. He

2:34:18

doesn't know that even if you are fired,

2:34:20

his wife's illness can't be treated

2:34:22

without you. USO Coyama saw you and

2:34:25

mocked you, expecting you to fight back.

2:34:27

You didn't. Sounds great, Mr. Hugh. Feel

2:34:30

free to call me if you have any

2:34:31

business. As you spoke, your right hand

2:34:34

quickly reached into the woman's bag.

2:34:36

You swiped your phone. Your move was so

2:34:39

fast and you used your body to block

2:34:41

their view. Neither USO Coyama nor his

2:34:44

partner noticed. USO Coyama wanted to

2:34:47

keep insulting you, but you pushed him,

2:34:50

sending him tumbling to the ground. Once

2:34:53

USO Coyama stood steady, you and Yuko

2:34:55

Yanagi had already entered the elevator

2:34:57

and reached the ground floor. You made

2:34:59

an excuse to go to the restroom and

2:35:01

asked Yuko Yanagi to wait in the car.

2:35:04

Once in the restroom, you immediately

2:35:06

used the photo of the woman you had just

2:35:08

taken to unlock her phone. You only

2:35:10

wanted to try, but to your surprise, you

2:35:13

unlocked it easily. Since you had

2:35:15

access, you didn't hold back. You

2:35:17

immediately found the contact labeled

2:35:19

husband on her WeChat. After confirming

2:35:22

it wasn't USO Coyama, you quickly sent

2:35:24

the photo you just took to that contact.

2:35:26

You also sent a location pin. After

2:35:29

doing this, you found a hotel attendant

2:35:31

and told her you had found a lost phone

2:35:33

and asked her to return it to the owner.

2:35:35

Leaving the hotel, you got into Yuko

2:35:37

Yanagi's car to wait for the show to

2:35:39

begin. In the second floor restaurant,

2:35:42

USO Coyama was feeling smug after

2:35:45

insulting you. While eating with the

2:35:47

woman, he was already brazenly touching

2:35:48

her thigh. Because of USO Coyama's

2:35:51

impetence, he dared not touch his own

2:35:53

wife, which had warped his mindset.

2:35:56

Touching someone else's wife in a place

2:35:57

like a restaurant made him exceptionally

2:35:59

excited. Just as Uso Coyama was enjoying

2:36:03

himself, he suddenly heard a roar. USO

2:36:06

Coyama, you bastard. USO Coyama looked

2:36:09

up to see that the woman's husband had

2:36:11

appeared before them. The husband was a

2:36:13

new construction worker recently hired

2:36:15

by USO Coyama's company. Even among

2:36:18

crooked bosses, there is a saying,

2:36:21

"Don't eat the grass near your own

2:36:22

burrow." But USO Coyama had no such

2:36:25

scruples. After discovering the worker's

2:36:28

wife had a fiery figure, he had quietly

2:36:30

used money to win her over. [music] This

2:36:32

was their third time meeting at a hotel.

2:36:35

Seeing the worker holding a massive foot

2:36:37

long pipe wrench, USO Coyama turned

2:36:40

pale. Ryu, Leu, don't be impulsive. I

2:36:44

swear nothing is happening between me

2:36:46

and your wife without letting us coyama

2:36:49

finish. Ryu swung the wrench at him.

2:36:52

USoyama, do you take me for a fool? I

2:36:55

just saw you touching her leg with my

2:36:57

own eyes. And you dare tell me nothing

2:37:00

is happening? US Coyama turned and ran,

2:37:03

but the restaurant was cluttered with

2:37:05

tables and chairs, slowing him down.

2:37:08

Although security arrived to stop Ryu,

2:37:11

Uso Coyama was still struck twice, his

2:37:13

face swelling up on one side. Ryu waited

2:37:16

until Usoyama stumbled out of the hotel

2:37:18

with his swollen face before telling

2:37:20

Yuko Yanagi to drive off. Yuko Yanagi

2:37:23

had seen Ryu storm into the hotel with

2:37:25

the wrench and realized what happened

2:37:27

when she saw USO Coyama's face. She

2:37:30

didn't realize it was your doing. She

2:37:32

sighed softly.

2:37:35

Let's go. Her feelings toward her

2:37:37

husband, USoyama, were complex. She was

2:37:40

disgusted by his moral decay, but they

2:37:43

still shared 10 years of history. They

2:37:45

were college classmates. Back then, USO

2:37:48

Coyama had once saved her from a gang of

2:37:50

thugs at the risk of his own life. It

2:37:52

was this act of heroism that convinced

2:37:53

Yukoyanagi to marry him. Watching her

2:37:56

husband being helped into an ambulance

2:37:58

with mixed emotions, she finally started

2:38:00

the car and headed toward the Tamagawa

2:38:02

shrine. The Tamagawa Shrine is located

2:38:04

on Tamagawa Mountain about 200 re

2:38:07

outside of Shanghai. Like most local

2:38:09

shrines, it wasn't particularly popular.

2:38:12

Compared to the bustling temples in the

2:38:13

city, the Tamagawa shrine was sparse.

2:38:16

You and Yuko Yanagi drove directly to

2:38:18

the shrine gate. Sister Yuko, wait in

2:38:20

the car. I'll go check things out. Yuko

2:38:23

Yanagi grabbed your hand, worried.

2:38:24

[music]

2:38:25

Be careful. Regardless of whether the

2:38:27

peach blossom curse was caused by

2:38:29

someone here, don't reveal your

2:38:30

involvement. Although she didn't know

2:38:32

much about curses, she knew that after

2:38:34

you tried to break hers four or five

2:38:35

times without success, [music] the

2:38:37

person behind it must be much stronger

2:38:39

than you. You patted her hand. Don't

2:38:41

worry, sister. I'm just here to observe.

2:38:43

Even if they realize I'm a fellow

2:38:45

practitioner, they won't suspect I have

2:38:47

anything to do with this. She finally

2:38:48

let go of your hand. You walked toward

2:38:50

the shrine. It was a scorching summer

2:38:52

noon, and the place was deserted. Not a

2:38:55

single tourist nor a single monk in

2:38:57

sight.

2:38:58

After circling the shrine and seeing no

2:39:00

one, you were about to leave when

2:39:02

someone called out from behind, "Master

2:39:04

Ren, it really is you." You turned

2:39:07

around, surprised to see Kento Ren. Ren

2:39:10

Jinga, "Uncle Ren, what are you doing at

2:39:13

the Tamagawa Shrine?" Kento Ren laughed

2:39:16

sheepishly. "My wife insisted."

2:39:20

After you blessed the Jade Buddha for my

2:39:21

niece, she was worried you might have

2:39:23

tricked us, so she wanted the shrine

2:39:24

master here to take a look. Don't be

2:39:26

offended, Master Ren. She's just

2:39:28

overprotective because that niece is the

2:39:30

only child my late brother and

2:39:32

sister-in-law left behind after they

2:39:34

died protecting us. Hearing this, you

2:39:35

weren't offended. I understand. That

2:39:38

shows your wife has a good heart. Why

2:39:39

would I be angry? By the way, have you

2:39:42

seen the shrine master? I've circled the

2:39:44

whole place and haven't seen a soul.

2:39:46

Kento Ren chuckled. Master Ren, it's so

2:39:49

hot today. The monks are all in the back

2:39:51

side hall where there's air

2:39:52

conditioning. Nobody stays in the main

2:39:54

hall at noon. You're happy. In that

2:39:57

case, you know the shrine master. Could

2:39:58

you recommend me? I also want to ask the

2:40:01

master to bless a jade three purities

2:40:03

talisman for protection. Kento Ren

2:40:06

laughed. Master Ren, you can bless jade

2:40:08

yourself. Why do you need to ask the

2:40:11

shrine master? You shook your head. It's

2:40:14

different. I hear the shrine master here

2:40:16

is a master of profound cultivation. A

2:40:18

jade talisman blessed by him would

2:40:20

surely be better than mine. A man in our

2:40:23

line of work deals with various evil

2:40:25

spirits. Having a talisman blessed by

2:40:28

him is safer.

2:40:30

You made up an excuse. Kento Ren didn't

2:40:32

suspect you, but he curled his lip and

2:40:34

whispered, "I advise you not to waste

2:40:36

your time. I just watched him bless a

2:40:39

pendant. The old monk just burned two

2:40:41

sheets of yellow paper, sprinkled some

2:40:43

water, and mumbled a few

2:40:44

incomprehensible spells." The jade

2:40:47

didn't change at all. To me, he's just a

2:40:49

swindler. You were skeptical. Surely

2:40:52

not. I heard the blessings at Tamagawa

2:40:54

Shrine are the most effective within 500

2:40:56

Ry. Kento Ren saw you didn't believe

2:40:59

him, so he took you to the back hall.

2:41:01

Several believers sat in the side hall.

2:41:04

Clearly wealthy people like Kento Ren. A

2:41:07

man in his 50s wearing purple robes was

2:41:10

performing a ritual. On the altar set a

2:41:13

row of jade pendants. The monk sat in

2:41:16

the center holding a hosu flywh whisk

2:41:19

dipping it into a bronze basin of water

2:41:21

and splashing it onto the pendants. You

2:41:24

scanned the area from afar and

2:41:26

immediately realized that none of the

2:41:28

items on the altar had a shred of

2:41:30

spiritual energy. You finally believed

2:41:32

Kento Ren, the old monk, was indeed a

2:41:35

fraud. You lost interest and turned your

2:41:37

gaze to the six believers sitting

2:41:39

opposite. You were startled to see a

2:41:41

familiar face. Mio Kaijo. Meow Zang, the

2:41:44

close friend of Ran Yo, Yang Ru, and was

2:41:46

standing there. She was dressed more

2:41:48

modestly than last time, wearing a long

2:41:50

sleeved black top, a delicate gold

2:41:52

bracelet, and tight jeans instead of a

2:41:55

skirt. Even dressed modestly, her

2:41:56

natural beauty eclipsed the other women

2:41:58

present. As you watched Mio, she spotted

2:42:01

you, but she pretended not to know you.

2:42:04

She whispered to the man beside her.

2:42:06

"Honey, I have a stomach aac. I'm going

2:42:09

back to the car to wait for you." The

2:42:11

man beside her grunted and let go of her

2:42:14

hand. "Mio hurried past you with her

2:42:17

head bowed. You looked at the man she

2:42:19

called honey." He was in his early 40s,

2:42:22

nearly 1.8 m tall, and looked ordinary,

2:42:25

but his eyes radiated an unmistakable

2:42:27

murderous intent. Though you were 20 m

2:42:30

away, you could feel that he had killed.

2:42:33

and not just once. You didn't know who

2:42:35

he was, but you knew he was dangerous.

2:42:37

You suddenly understood why Rano had

2:42:39

warned you never to provoke Moajo. As

2:42:42

you studied him, the man felt your gaze

2:42:44

and turned. His eyes were sharp as

2:42:46

knives, and you quickly looked away.

2:42:49

Even with the old monk's inheritance,

2:42:50

you had no desire to confront this man.

2:42:53

Seeing he wasn't paying attention, you

2:42:55

whispered to Kento Ren, "There really

2:42:57

isn't anything to see, Mr. Ren. I'm

2:43:00

heading out." Kento Ren followed you

2:43:03

out. Once outside, you whispered, "Do

2:43:06

you know that man in the white shirt?"

2:43:09

Kento Ren shook his head. "No, but he

2:43:12

carries heavy murderous intent. He must

2:43:14

be a [music] big-time crime boss."

2:43:16

"Aren't you a boss in the Shanghai

2:43:18

underworld, Mr. Ren? Are there people

2:43:21

you don't know?"

2:43:23

Kento Ren laughed self-deprecatingly.

2:43:25

"I'm nothing compared to a real boss.

2:43:27

I'm just a small shrimp. That's why I

2:43:29

had to go into debt collection.

2:43:31

Realizing you wouldn't get information

2:43:32

from him, you planned to meet Ran Yo

2:43:34

back in Shanghai and ask her who Mio

2:43:37

Khou s husband was. Just then, your

2:43:40

phone rang. It was from the number of

2:43:42

Myio, the one you had blacklisted. Do

2:43:44

you have a death wish following me here?

2:43:47

If my husband finds out about what

2:43:48

happened between us, I promise he'll

2:43:51

throw you into the Hangpoo River. You

2:43:52

replied immediately. I didn't follow

2:43:55

you. I'm here on business. Mio Kaiou

2:43:57

sent an emoji of relief. In that case,

2:44:00

leave immediately. I'll ask you out some

2:44:02

other time. You replied, when is some

2:44:05

other time? But she had already

2:44:06

blacklisted you. You said goodbye to

2:44:08

Kento Ren and went down the mountain to

2:44:10

find Yuko Yanagi.

2:44:12

Since the shrine master had no spiritual

2:44:15

energy, the Dowist nun from before was

2:44:17

likely using the shrine's name falsely.

2:44:20

Down at the base of the mountain, Yuko

2:44:22

Yanagi was already worried. Seeing you,

2:44:26

she hurried over. How was it? Any luck?

2:44:30

You shook your head. The shrine master

2:44:32

is just an ordinary man who uses fake

2:44:34

goods to fool people. You kept her

2:44:36

encounter with Mioajjo a secret. Hearing

2:44:38

this, Yuko Yanagi was relieved. She had

2:44:41

been worried you were in danger if the

2:44:43

shrine were truly involved in her curse.

2:44:46

Since the shrine isn't related, let's go

2:44:48

back. I'll find another way to track

2:44:50

down that nun. Back at the hotel, you

2:44:52

tried to break the curse again. You

2:44:53

thought your spiritual energy had

2:44:55

doubled, but you soon realized the curse

2:44:57

was far stronger than you had

2:44:58

anticipated. After exhausting your

2:45:00

energy and breaking into a cold sweat,

2:45:02

you had to stop. Yuko Yanagi felt bad

2:45:05

seeing you so exhausted. Renichos, let's

2:45:08

take it slow. Don't overexert yourself

2:45:11

and hurt your body. As she spoke, she

2:45:13

gently wiped your forehead. Looking like

2:45:16

a virtuous wife, you shook your head

2:45:18

wearily. I'm fine, just drained. I need

2:45:21

to find a way to recover my energy

2:45:22

quickly. Yuko Yanagi looked at you with

2:45:24

concern. What do you need to recover? If

2:45:27

there's any way I can help, please don't

2:45:29

be shy. People say there is no future in

2:45:32

being a security guard, but you are

2:45:35

thriving as a security guard in the

2:45:37

villa district. You don't just help

2:45:38

residents unclog their drains. You've

2:45:41

also made a fortune treating the

2:45:43

illnesses of beautiful residents.

2:45:45

Yesterday, Kento Ren went to Yoko Yang

2:45:48

Yu Hong s beauty salon and found that

2:45:51

business was booming after your help. He

2:45:53

would surely recover his 2 million yen

2:45:55

soon. [music] Kento Ren had more

2:45:57

confidence than ever in your debt

2:45:58

collection abilities. Daisal

2:46:02

drove you to an industrial area on the

2:46:04

outskirts. It was decrepit with weeds

2:46:07

growing in the abandoned factories and

2:46:09

not a soul in sight. You frowned. Isn't

2:46:13

Kenji Song Wonggh's company in

2:46:16

construction? Why is it located here? Da

2:46:19

sneered. You don't know, master. This

2:46:22

Kenji is a thug. He gets contracts by

2:46:24

sending his brothers to cause trouble at

2:46:27

other sites. The developers just give

2:46:29

him a slice of the contract to keep the

2:46:31

peace. This kind of company belongs in a

2:46:34

free rent industrial zone. You shook

2:46:36

your head. It's a miracle he hasn't been

2:46:39

arrested. Desi explained. He has

2:46:41

connections in the department and his

2:46:43

work, while mediocre, is just barely up

2:46:45

to standard. Business was booming until

2:46:48

the real estate market cooled down. They

2:46:50

pulled up to a small factory with a sign

2:46:52

reading Wong Hoo Construction Company

2:46:55

Limited. It was silent. As you entered,

2:46:58

you saw Ran Yo Yang Lan Ruo carrying a

2:47:01

briefcase following two men in suits.

2:47:04

Ran Yo wore a black professional suit.

2:47:06

The skirt hugged her figure, and

2:47:08

although only her calves were visible,

2:47:10

she was very attractive. The pointed toe

2:47:13

heels added to her aura as a high-end

2:47:16

corporate executive. Seeing you, Rano

2:47:18

froze and then walked aside, pretending

2:47:20

to make a call. Seeing her signal, you

2:47:23

made an excuse and followed her. She led

2:47:25

you to a secluded corner. Didn't I tell

2:47:27

you not to contact me? Now you're

2:47:29

following me. Do you want me to report

2:47:31

you for harassment? You were about to

2:47:33

explain you weren't following her, but

2:47:35

her threat annoyed you. Go ahead and

2:47:37

report me then. You turned to leave.

2:47:40

Rano stomped her foot, but then realized

2:47:42

you weren't stalking her as you headed

2:47:44

toward the office building with Da. She

2:47:47

breathed a sigh of relief, but worried

2:47:49

about you, she called your phone. Seeing

2:47:51

her name, you asked Da to wait. You

2:47:54

answered, "Miss Ran, what is it?" Rano

2:47:56

said softly. "I'm sorry. I

2:47:58

misunderstood. Come back. I need to ask

2:48:01

you something important. You returned to

2:48:03

her. She asked immediately. Are you here

2:48:05

to collect a debt? You looked at her.

2:48:08

Not bad. You guessed it. Although you

2:48:11

had slept with her three times, you

2:48:12

didn't really know where she worked or

2:48:14

what her position was. Rano glared at

2:48:18

you. You don't know how dangerous you

2:48:20

are. The owner of this company is a

2:48:22

notorious thug. You're walking into a

2:48:25

death trap. You realized she was worried

2:48:27

for your safety. You smiled at her. Are

2:48:30

you afraid that if I die, no one will

2:48:32

play with you anymore? She blushed and

2:48:34

glared. I hope you die soon. Despite her

2:48:38

harsh words, she warned you. I know you

2:48:41

need money, but don't take this. I'll

2:48:43

lend you 200,000 yen if you're in a

2:48:45

hurry. Just leave. Seeing her offer,

2:48:47

your fondness for her grew. You grabbed

2:48:50

her hand. Since you know it's dangerous,

2:48:53

she sighed. Yeah. You think I want to be

2:48:56

here? My boss made me come with these

2:48:58

clients. I'm just a legal consultant. I

2:49:00

hope you won't be too hard on me. She

2:49:02

urged you to leave again before going

2:49:04

back to her colleagues. You stayed. Once

2:49:07

she left, you and Duke went to the third

2:49:09

floor where she was discussing something

2:49:11

with a middle-aged man. The man was bald

2:49:14

with a tiger tattoo on his arm. Dais

2:49:17

whispered, "Master, that's Kenji." Kenji

2:49:20

frowned when he saw you. "Are you here

2:49:22

to collect, too?" Dau smiled nervously.

2:49:26

"Kenji, I'm the manager for Mr. Ren's

2:49:29

firm. We're here for the 20 million owed

2:49:31

to the gold tripod company, but my boss

2:49:33

has negotiated it down to 10 million to

2:49:35

clear the slate. Kenji sneered. Tell him

2:49:38

I wouldn't give him a single thousand.

2:49:40

Dau went silent, looking at you. You

2:49:43

stepped forward. Kenji, let's be

2:49:45

reasonable. I know you're broke, but

2:49:47

your wife has a dozen properties. You

2:49:49

recently paid 10 million for a project

2:49:51

with redacted, but you never had a

2:49:54

contract with them. Isn't that right?

2:49:56

Kenji laughed. The kid has guts. Rano

2:49:59

pulled your sleeve, warning you not to

2:50:01

provoke him, but you ignored her. You

2:50:03

sat down opposite Kenji calm. I, Renos,

2:50:06

I'm saying this. If you don't pay that

2:50:08

10 million today, I guarantee you'll be

2:50:10

carried out of this office. Kenji

2:50:11

laughed. In 10 years, you're the first

2:50:13

person to threaten me like that. For

2:50:16

your guts, I'll leave you a whole

2:50:17

corpse. Rano panicked, pleading for you.

2:50:20

He's just an ignorant country bumpkin.

2:50:22

He doesn't know your prestige, Kenji.

2:50:24

Why bother with someone like him? Just

2:50:27

teach him a lesson and throw him out.

2:50:29

Kenji smirked. Lawyer ran. If you sleep

2:50:32

with me, I might spare him. He reached

2:50:35

for her waist. You pulled Rano behind

2:50:37

you. This is between us. Leave her out

2:50:39

of it. Her colleagues panicked. Since

2:50:41

there's nothing for us here, we're

2:50:43

leaving. They told Rano to come with

2:50:45

them. But she froze in fear. Kenji

2:50:47

sneered. They can leave, but lawyer Ran

2:50:51

stays. He glared at the colleagues and

2:50:53

they fled, abandoning her. Reno felt

2:50:56

desperate as her colleagues deserted

2:50:58

her. Kenji tried to touch her, but you

2:51:00

grabbed his hand. A big boss like you

2:51:02

bullying a woman, doesn't that damage

2:51:03

your reputation? Kenji threw a punch at

2:51:05

your face. Ignorant kid, I'll show you.

2:51:08

He had studied BWA palms in his youth,

2:51:10

and his punch was fast and ruthless. You

2:51:12

tilted your head and easily avoided it.

2:51:15

Kenji was surprised.

2:51:17

You're fast, but your luck ends here. He

2:51:21

threw another punch at your chest. You

2:51:24

turned your right hand into a palm,

2:51:26

guided his fist, and pulled. He nearly

2:51:29

stumbled to his knees. Kenji realized

2:51:32

you were stronger than he thought. He

2:51:34

backed up, getting serious. He started

2:51:37

attacking again, but his martial arts

2:51:39

were no match for you. In under 10

2:51:41

moves, you struck his shoulder, nearly

2:51:43

knocking him down. You didn't want to

2:51:45

cause serious injury. You wanted the

2:51:47

money. But Kenji didn't learn. He pulled

2:51:50

out a shotgun from his drawer, pointing

2:51:51

it at your head. Good martial arts, but

2:51:54

you're not beating a bullet. Kneel and

2:51:56

apologize or I'll kill you. Rano

2:51:58

screamed for you to apologize.

2:52:01

You stood still. You couldn't smell any

2:52:03

gunpowder, so you knew it was a fake gun

2:52:05

despite it looking perfect. Kenji was

2:52:08

shocked. This fake gun had helped him

2:52:10

bluff many veterans. He realized you

2:52:14

were dangerous.

2:52:15

He summoned his dozen thugs from

2:52:17

outside. You frowned, shielding Rano.

2:52:20

Alone, they meant nothing. But with her

2:52:22

here, you had to be careful. You looked

2:52:24

at him. Kenji, I see a dark aura on your

2:52:28

forehead. You have a disaster coming,

2:52:30

and it's quite significant. Kenji

2:52:32

laughed. You think you can scare me with

2:52:34

ghost stories? He sat back in his chair,

2:52:37

ready to have his men drag Rano over,

2:52:39

but as soon as he sat, he let out a

2:52:42

sharp cry and jumped up. He reached

2:52:44

behind him and pulled out a bloody

2:52:46

thumbtack. Which bastard put this on my

2:52:49

chair?

2:52:50

You had placed it there with spiritual

2:52:52

energy. You looked at the chaos and

2:52:55

interrupted. Kenji, I told you you had a

2:52:58

disaster coming. Do you believe me now?

2:53:00

People look down on being a security

2:53:02

guard, but you are thriving as a

2:53:04

security guard in the villa district.

2:53:06

You don't just help residents unclog

2:53:08

their drains. And here you have

2:53:10

accumulated connections. You used to be

2:53:12

honest and simple. Now you know that

2:53:14

honesty doesn't get you anywhere in this

2:53:16

city. You helped a boss collect a debt.

2:53:19

using your spiritual energy to teach him

2:53:22

a lesson. But Kenji still didn't believe

2:53:23

it. Still playing tricks? I want to see

2:53:25

you try again. You used your spiritual

2:53:28

energy again, sending a tack flying

2:53:29

directly into his. Kenji let out another

2:53:32

scream and pulled a second bloody

2:53:34

thumbtack out of his trousers. Kenji

2:53:36

finally panicked. This was too bizarre.

2:53:39

His thugs were terrified. Thugs don't

2:53:42

fear fighting, but they fear the

2:53:44

supernatural. Boss, maybe he's right. Is

2:53:48

this place haunted? Rano grabbed your

2:53:50

hand, terrified. The men whispered about

2:53:51

this land being an old graveyard.

2:53:53

Someone suggested, "Boss, maybe ask him

2:53:56

to perform a ritual." Kenji glared.

2:53:58

"Shut up. There are no ghosts here. He's

2:54:00

just scaring you." You sat on a chair

2:54:02

and poured yourself some tea. Kenji was

2:54:04

annoyed. Get up. You drank slowly.

2:54:07

"Kenji, you've been targeted by

2:54:10

something dirty. If you don't treat it,

2:54:11

you won't last 3 days." Kenji was scared

2:54:14

but stubborn. kid. Before he could

2:54:16

finish, a toothpick struck him again. He

2:54:19

screamed in agony, pulling out the third

2:54:21

object. He finally surrendered. Master,

2:54:24

please save me. I'll do anything. This

2:54:27

was the result you wanted. Fine, but

2:54:29

what about the 20 million? Kenji cried.

2:54:32

I really can't pay 20 million. Can I pay

2:54:34

10? You agreed. Fine, 10 million for

2:54:37

now. Kenji rushed to call his office.

2:54:40

Half an hour later, Kento Ren called.

2:54:42

You're a genius. He just wired 10

2:54:45

million to us. How did you do it? You

2:54:47

gave a vague answer. I'll tell you

2:54:49

later. I still have to perform a ritual

2:54:51

for him. You turned to Kenji. That 10

2:54:53

million was a debt. This ritual is a

2:54:55

separate fee. Kenji was humble now.

2:54:57

What's the fee? You said coolly. For a

2:55:00

spirit this strong, $2 million. Kenji

2:55:03

looked pained. I don't have that cash.

2:55:05

Can I pay with a commercial storefront I

2:55:07

own? You checked his expression, saw no

2:55:10

lie, and agreed. Bring the deed. He

2:55:13

called his assistant. A young woman

2:55:15

arrived with the deed. The storefront

2:55:16

was nearby, 200 square meters across two

2:55:19

floors. Yoko Yang Yu Hong had been

2:55:22

talking about opening a branch salon.

2:55:25

This was perfect. She had even given you

2:55:27

60% of the salon shares. This wasn't

2:55:30

just her business anymore. It was yours.

2:55:32

You smiled. This will work. Keep the

2:55:35

deed. I'll perform the ritual and we'll

2:55:37

transfer the title tomorrow. Kenji

2:55:39

sighed in relief. You had him prepare

2:55:41

yellow paper, cineabar, and a brush to

2:55:43

make it look authentic. He quickly

2:55:45

complied. You had him go shirtless on

2:55:47

the desk. He believed in you completely.

2:55:49

You painted talismans from the old

2:55:51

master's inheritance. You didn't use

2:55:53

real exorcism talismans, but ones for

2:55:56

treating kidney deficiency since that's

2:55:58

what [music] he really needed. You threw

2:56:00

the paper in the air and it burned. You

2:56:02

caught the ash in a bowl of water,

2:56:04

copying movie rituals to keep up the

2:56:06

charade. Because your talisman had a bit

2:56:09

of spiritual energy, the water glowed

2:56:11

white, cementing their belief. You

2:56:13

poured the water over his back and

2:56:15

struck his back firmly. 10 minutes

2:56:17

later. The spirit is gone. Kenji, stand

2:56:21

up. He walked around feeling much

2:56:23

better. Master, thank you. I'll have

2:56:26

someone accompany you to the title

2:56:27

office tomorrow. You had him in the palm

2:56:29

of your hand. No rush. I'll call you. He

2:56:31

bowed and escorted you to the gate. You

2:56:33

told Dicegate to head home and that

2:56:35

you'd take Reno back. Reno had driven

2:56:38

here herself. Once inside the car, she

2:56:41

couldn't hold back. When did you learn

2:56:43

all this? You laughed. Sister ran. Other

2:56:46

than knowing how to untie my belt, what

2:56:48

else do you know about me? She blushed

2:56:50

and pounced on you. It wasn't the first

2:56:53

time, but you wouldn't do it at his

2:56:55

factory gate. Let's go elsewhere,

2:56:57

sister. It's dangerous here. She drove

2:56:59

to a secluded spot and pounced on you

2:57:01

again. Previously, she only wanted

2:57:03

physical satisfaction, but seeing you

2:57:05

dominate Kenji had stirred something

2:57:07

else. She had always looked down on you

2:57:10

as a uh country bumpkin, never letting

2:57:13

you kiss her. But this time, she kissed

2:57:15

you back. Kissing, she realized you were

2:57:18

now more important to her than her

2:57:20

husband, Hangai. She held you tight even

2:57:22

after finishing. Your spiritual energy

2:57:24

surged more than the last two times,

2:57:27

though still less than the time with Mio

2:57:29

Kajou and Rano together. You realized

2:57:31

that the more she liked you, the more

2:57:34

spiritual energy she provided. You

2:57:36

thought of Mioajjo who had a superior

2:57:38

constitution. Sister Ran, I saw Moajjo

2:57:42

at the shrine, apparently there to pray

2:57:43

with her husband. Rano grew tense. You

2:57:46

saw her husband? You nodded. He had such

2:57:49

murderous intent. Who is he? Rano

2:57:52

stopped hiding it. Her husband is a

2:57:54

crime boss in Jan. I heard that if

2:57:56

anyone eyes her, they just disappear.

2:57:59

At least a dozen men have died because

2:58:01

of him in the last two years. That's why

2:58:04

I warned you. Right then, she got a call

2:58:06

from her husband, Huang Dhai. Wife, I

2:58:09

heard you had trouble at the factory. Do

2:58:11

you need me to call a friend? I know an

2:58:13

uncle in the police station. Rano shook

2:58:15

her head. It's handled. I'll be home

2:58:17

soon. Hangai asked. I heard you ran into

2:58:20

that idiot Ren Ichino at the office. Is

2:58:23

it that security guard from our complex?

2:58:25

Reno glanced at you. Yes, it's him.

2:58:28

Huangdah Hai said, "Wife, stay away from

2:58:30

him. He's a loser and he'll drag you

2:58:32

down with him." Rano looked at you and

2:58:35

saw your irritation. She grabbed your

2:58:37

hand and pulled it into her clothes to

2:58:39

appease you. You were annoyed, but then

2:58:41

you thought, "I'm sleeping with his

2:58:43

wife. Why be angry at the loser" remark?

2:58:46

You were fine. You pinched her chest

2:58:47

intentionally. She whimpered and

2:58:49

squeezed her legs together. "Are you

2:58:51

mad?" You shook your head, lit a

2:58:53

cigarette, and blew a ring of smoke.

2:58:55

Divorce, Huang Dahigh. A flash of light

2:58:58

appeared in her eyes, but she refused.

2:59:00

"I don't want to divorce yet." You

2:59:02

looked at her, confused. "That man

2:59:05

doesn't deserve you at all." Rano looked

2:59:07

into your eyes. "If I divorce him, will

2:59:09

you marry me?" You shook your head. "No,

2:59:12

but I can support you for the rest of

2:59:14

your life. I can guarantee you'll never

2:59:17

have to worry about food or drink." "You

2:59:19

didn't want to lie to Rano. Ever

2:59:22

sinceQing Ching Jiu Chingqing betrayed

2:59:25

you, you no longer believed in the

2:59:27

nonsense of love.

2:59:29

Even if it were Yuko Yanagi or Miteru

2:59:32

Shiroy asking to marry you, you would

2:59:35

have to think about it very carefully.

2:59:37

Rano gave your thigh a heavy slap.

2:59:40

Scumbag, I knew you wouldn't marry me,

2:59:42

yet you still want me to get a divorce.

2:59:44

Yesterday, they were still trampling you

2:59:46

under their feet. Today, you have made

2:59:48

it so they can no longer even reach your

2:59:50

level. Once you were just a lowly

2:59:52

security guard that the wealthy look

2:59:54

down upon. In just 30 days, you have

2:59:56

made those titans with millions in

2:59:58

assets not even worthy of looking up to

3:00:00

you. Even the high and mighty wealthy

3:00:02

woman who first sought your help now

3:00:05

looks at you with eyes full of envy. And

3:00:07

you simply stopped following the honest,

3:00:09

humble path you were on, deciding

3:00:11

instead to give as good as you got to

3:00:13

those crooked bosses. You sat in the

3:00:15

car, slowly lit a cigarette, and blew a

3:00:18

smoke ring. divorce da hungai. A flash

3:00:21

of light crossed rano sass eyes, but she

3:00:24

immediately shook her head in refusal. I

3:00:27

don't want to divorce just yet, you

3:00:28

looked at her, confused. That daisy

3:00:31

doesn't deserve you at all. Rano looked

3:00:33

into your eyes. If I divorce him, will

3:00:36

you marry me? You shook your head. Not

3:00:39

for now. Give me one year. I can make

3:00:42

you wealthier than you are now. Although

3:00:44

I can't marry you, we can have two

3:00:45

children. I can visit you and the kids

3:00:48

occasionally. Isn't that better than

3:00:50

being with that short fat man Duke? The

3:00:53

light in Rano. Its eyes grew brighter,

3:00:56

but she still shook her head. You can't

3:00:59

even afford a villa like the one we live

3:01:00

in right now. How dare you talk about

3:01:03

making me wealthier than I am? You

3:01:05

looked at her with confidence. Do you

3:01:07

think with my skills I can't earn enough

3:01:10

for a villa like yours in a year?

3:01:12

Rananiel felt increasingly tempted but

3:01:15

finally shook her head. Earn the money

3:01:18

for a villa like mine first and come

3:01:20

talk to me. As she spoke, Rano started

3:01:23

the car. I have to get back quickly or

3:01:25

Dais will get suspicious. She no longer

3:01:28

called Dake husband because she had

3:01:31

already decided in her heart. From now

3:01:33

on, she would live separately from him

3:01:35

and would not let him touch her again.

3:01:37

From now on, her body belonged only to

3:01:39

you. Rano dropped you off at the

3:01:42

entrance of Kento Ren's company and

3:01:44

drove away. Seeing you return in

3:01:46

triumph, Kento Ren led the whole company

3:01:48

to the entrance to greet you. Brother

3:01:50

Ren, if you hadn't stepped in to help

3:01:52

this time, my company wouldn't have

3:01:54

survived. Say no more. Tonight, this

3:01:57

older brother will take you out for a

3:01:58

proper night on the town. You didn't

3:02:00

know what kind of activity he meant by

3:02:02

night on the town. Thinking it was just

3:02:04

drinking and karaoke you didn't refuse.

3:02:07

Although you were now worth several

3:02:09

million yen, you had never been to such

3:02:12

entertainment venues and knew nothing

3:02:14

about them. Uso Coyama and his men were

3:02:17

veterans of such places. When they heard

3:02:19

Kento Ren was taking you out, they were

3:02:20

delighted. Seeing Kento Ren walk away to

3:02:23

make a reservation, USO Coyama patted

3:02:25

your shoulder. Master, you've never been

3:02:28

to a high-end club before, have you? It

3:02:30

was true. There was no need to put on an

3:02:32

act for Kento Ren and USO Coyama. They

3:02:36

wouldn't look down on you just because

3:02:37

you hadn't been to such places. Uso

3:02:39

Coyama let out a wicked laugh. Then

3:02:42

today you're in for a treat. Master,

3:02:45

what kind of uniform do you like? Flight

3:02:47

attendant, office lady, nurse, maid, or

3:02:51

maybe a teacher. If you like these

3:02:53

student, look, you have to tell boss

3:02:55

Kento in advance. I hear the girls in

3:02:58

student uniforms at the Metropolis Club

3:03:01

are very popular. You usually have to

3:03:03

book them ahead of time. You were

3:03:04

completely bewildered by Uso Coyama's

3:03:07

words. What office lady? What teacher?

3:03:09

What do you mean? USO Coyama gave

3:03:11

another leerous grain. Master, if you

3:03:14

really don't understand, don't ask. Once

3:03:16

you get to the Metropolis Club, you'll

3:03:18

naturally understand. Filled with

3:03:19

questions, you followed Kento Ren and

3:03:21

the others to the Metropolis Club. The

3:03:24

club wasn't located in a bustling area,

3:03:26

but the decor was extremely high-end and

3:03:28

luxurious. Upon entering, there was a

3:03:31

high platform with dozens of steps, and

3:03:34

on both sides stood two rows of

3:03:36

beautiful women wearing various styles

3:03:38

of chong. These women were all tall and

3:03:41

slender with impressive figures. As you

3:03:44

walked in, the 20 plus women bowed in

3:03:46

unison. Welcome. You had never seen such

3:03:48

a display and couldn't help but whisper

3:03:51

to USO Coyama, "Brother who? Spending a

3:03:54

night here must cost a fortune, right?"

3:03:56

USO Coyama laughed and waved his hand.

3:03:59

Master Boss Kento is paying today, so

3:04:02

don't worry about the cost. You continue

3:04:04

to press. I just want to know how much a

3:04:06

night costs. If I need to entertain

3:04:08

important guests later, I might want to

3:04:09

bring them here. The face they put on at

3:04:11

the door is quite impressive. Usoyama

3:04:14

then whispered, "I heard from the boss

3:04:16

that every time he hosts a dinner here,

3:04:18

the bill is never less than 20,000 yen.

3:04:22

You sighed in relief. if it was only

3:04:24

20,000. With your current strength, you

3:04:27

could afford it. [music] Once inside the

3:04:29

private room, Kento Ren handed you a

3:04:31

menu. Master, do you prefer things to be

3:04:34

wild or a bit more reserved? You were

3:04:37

confused. What do you mean? USO Coyama

3:04:40

hurriedly explained. If Master likes it

3:04:42

wild, we'll all stay in one big suite,

3:04:45

and everyone picks a girl to hang out

3:04:46

together. If master prefers to be

3:04:49

reserved, we can get you a smaller room

3:04:51

downstairs and get you two girls of your

3:04:53

own. Your heart began to race. You

3:04:55

didn't know what kind of hanging out

3:04:58

they meant, but you guessed there were

3:05:00

definitely programs not suitable for

3:05:02

children. You decided to play it

3:05:03

reserved. Being in a room with a bunch

3:05:06

of old men doing those kinds of things

3:05:07

was something you couldn't accept. Even

3:05:09

if it wasn't as extreme as the rumors

3:05:11

said, you still couldn't stomach it.

3:05:14

Kento Ren understood immediately.

3:05:17

Then I'll get you a private suite and

3:05:18

two girls. Master.

3:05:21

As he spoke, he picked up a tablet on

3:05:23

the table and opened the photo gallery.

3:05:26

The gallery was filled with young

3:05:27

beauties wearing uniforms. Some wore

3:05:30

flight attendant outfits, some student

3:05:32

uniforms, some professional office wear,

3:05:35

and a few were dressed as teachers with

3:05:36

pointers. Seeing these photos, you

3:05:38

finally understood what USOyama meant by

3:05:41

uniforms. Earlier, you scanned the

3:05:43

screen and chose a girl in a flight

3:05:45

attendant uniform. You had always been

3:05:48

poor and had never even been on an

3:05:50

airplane. A flight attendant had always

3:05:52

been a distant, [music] unreachable

3:05:54

existence to you. Kento Ren finalized

3:05:57

the package and a waiter led you to your

3:05:59

suite. Although it was a small room, it

3:06:02

was over 10 square meters and featured a

3:06:04

sofa, a sound system, a huge screen, and

3:06:07

a private restroom. A girl in a flight

3:06:09

attendant uniform pushed the door open.

3:06:12

She looked to be in her early 20s,

3:06:14

wearing heavy makeup that made her true

3:06:16

face hard to see under the lights. But

3:06:18

her profile was beautiful. Her figure

3:06:20

was also excellent. Sir, I am happy to

3:06:22

serve you. The moment you saw her, you

3:06:25

felt a sense of familiarity.

3:06:28

Now hearing her speak, you immediately

3:06:30

remembered someone. Your high school

3:06:32

classmate, Cowori. He shaman. Cowori was

3:06:36

the class beauty and her family was the

3:06:39

wealthiest in the class, but she only

3:06:41

attended your school for two years

3:06:43

before transferring in her senior year.

3:06:45

You hadn't seen her since. However, you

3:06:48

had heard classmates discussing her in a

3:06:50

group chat last month, saying her

3:06:51

father's company had gone bankrupt,

3:06:54

leaving him with massive debt, and that

3:06:56

he had even had his hand cut off by

3:06:58

thugs. Caori had also dropped out of

3:07:01

university in Shanghai. You never

3:07:03

expected to meet Caori here. Just now

3:07:06

when you were picking girls, it was

3:07:07

because the photo looked like her that

3:07:09

you chose the name Little Rain. You

3:07:12

truly hadn't expected it to actually be

3:07:14

the class beauty from your high school

3:07:16

days. You studied Caori for a long time

3:07:18

before finally confirming it was her.

3:07:21

Caori, why are you working here? Caori's

3:07:23

face changed instantly. By now, she had

3:07:26

recognized you, but she desperately

3:07:27

denied it. I'm not Caori. My name is

3:07:30

Little Rain. Sir, you have the wrong

3:07:32

person. As she spoke, she turned in a

3:07:35

panic and tried to run out. Just as you

3:07:38

were about to chase after her, you saw

3:07:39

Caori bump into a short, fat man. When

3:07:42

the man saw Caori, he grabbed her wrist.

3:07:44

Little Rain, I came here today

3:07:46

specifically to find you. Your foreman

3:07:48

actually lied to me and said you weren't

3:07:50

working today. Caori looked at you with

3:07:53

a desperate plea for help. You stepped

3:07:55

behind her. Let her go. The man looked

3:07:58

up and laughed immediately.

3:08:01

And here I thought it was some big shot.

3:08:04

It's just you, Ren. Ichinos, that

3:08:06

stinking security guard. What's this?

3:08:09

Just because you're a lowly dog guarding

3:08:10

a gate, you think you can fight me for a

3:08:12

woman? Only then did you recognize the

3:08:14

fat man holding Caori. He was Ron Yo s-

3:08:18

husband Daikke Hangai. You didn't waste

3:08:21

a single word on Da. You flicked your

3:08:24

finger directly against his wrist. Da

3:08:26

screamed in pain and instantly released

3:08:29

Caori. You pulled Cowori behind you.

3:08:32

Dau, let me tell you, Cowori is my

3:08:34

girlfriend. If you dare harass her

3:08:36

again, don't blame me for being unkind.

3:08:39

Dau burst into laughter. Kid, you really

3:08:41

know how to brag. Just a stinking

3:08:44

security guard, a popper. How could you

3:08:46

land such a beautiful girlfriend? Da

3:08:48

stared at Carrie with a leerous look.

3:08:51

This is the Metropolis Club anyway. Even

3:08:53

if she is your girlfriend, isn't this

3:08:55

place for men to play? Don't worry about

3:08:57

me not being able to afford it. Since

3:08:59

we're old acquaintances, name your

3:09:01

price. I'll take her for the year. You

3:09:03

didn't let him finish. You slammed a

3:09:04

fist into Duke's stomach. You fat piece

3:09:07

of trash. Keep your mouth clean or don't

3:09:09

blame me for what happens next. Dice

3:09:11

didn't dare step forward after the

3:09:13

punch. He immediately shouted behind

3:09:15

him. Where's the manager? Get your

3:09:18

manager over here. Your lousy security

3:09:20

guard is beating a guest and you're just

3:09:22

going to stand there. Daisy still

3:09:24

thought you were working here as a

3:09:26

security guard after being fired from

3:09:27

his complex. The manager of the

3:09:29

Metropolis Club arrived shortly with two

3:09:32

security guards.

3:09:34

The manager was a man in his 30s. Seeing

3:09:36

the blood on DaK's face, he hurriedly

3:09:39

apologized to him first. I am so sorry,

3:09:42

Mr. Duke.

3:09:44

Da pointed at you and shouted at the

3:09:46

manager. An apology to me is useless.

3:09:48

Hurry up and grab this brat.

3:09:51

Make him kneel and lick the soles of my

3:09:53

shoes or I'll file a complaint with your

3:09:55

boss. How dare a stinking security guard

3:09:58

in your club hit a customer. I don't

3:10:01

think you want to stay in business. Only

3:10:04

then did the manager notice that you,

3:10:06

the person who did the hitting, were not

3:10:08

an employee of the Metropolis Club. The

3:10:10

manager was in a difficult spot. Mr.

3:10:13

Duke, this gentleman is a guest of ours,

3:10:16

not a security guard. Duke didn't

3:10:19

believe it at all. Impossible. I know

3:10:21

exactly [music] what this brat is worth.

3:10:23

He used to be a security guard at our

3:10:25

complex and was fired just last month.

3:10:27

How could he have the money to consume

3:10:29

in such a high-end place? You looked at

3:10:31

Daik and said faintly,

3:10:33

"Mr. Da, there's a saying, a dog looks

3:10:36

down on people. You've never heard of

3:10:37

it." Daisy's face turned livid with

3:10:40

anger. Brat, who are you calling a dog?

3:10:43

Believe it or not, one phone call from

3:10:45

me and I'll have you kneeling and

3:10:46

begging for mercy. You had already

3:10:48

prepared to take Caori and leave, but

3:10:50

Daike kept pestering you and wouldn't

3:10:52

let you go. Seeing that Duke wouldn't

3:10:54

let it go, the manager didn't dare let

3:10:56

you leave. You couldn't help but frown.

3:11:00

Since you want to call people, call them

3:11:02

quickly. I don't have time to waste with

3:11:04

you. Duke immediately made a phone call

3:11:06

to round up some backup.

3:11:09

Soon, seven or eight men looking like

3:11:10

thugs appeared in the hallway. Which one

3:11:12

of you blind idiots is making our boss

3:11:14

Duke angry? Daskuke was overjoyed and

3:11:17

pointed at you immediately. It's this

3:11:19

brat, brother 6. Help me teach this brat

3:11:22

a lesson. The leading pockm marked thug

3:11:24

looked at you. You even dare to offend

3:11:26

our boss Duke? You really are tired of

3:11:29

living. Before the thug could finish the

3:11:31

word living, he was so terrified that he

3:11:34

knelt directly in front of you. Master,

3:11:37

I was wrong. I truly didn't know it was

3:11:39

you. This brother 6 was a henchman of

3:11:42

Kenji Song Wong Hu. This afternoon in

3:11:46

Kenji's office, he had seen with his own

3:11:49

eyes how you played their boss, Kenji,

3:11:51

like a puppet. How could Brother 6 dare

3:11:54

to offend you? You didn't have much of

3:11:56

an impression of this Brother Six. You

3:11:58

know me. Brother Six hurriedly put on a

3:12:00

fawning face. Master Ren, you are a big

3:12:04

shot. Naturally, you wouldn't notice a

3:12:06

nobody like me. I am Huroku, a

3:12:10

subordinate of Kenji. This afternoon in

3:12:13

our boss's office, I saw your brilliance

3:12:16

with my own eyes. Learning that this man

3:12:18

was Kenji's subordinate, you didn't make

3:12:20

things difficult for him. Since you are

3:12:22

one of Kenji's men, I won't make things

3:12:24

hard for you. You all can go. Who Roku

3:12:27

thanked you repeatedly and hurriedly ran

3:12:29

off with his henchmen. Da didn't expect

3:12:32

the backup he spent a fortune to hire to

3:12:34

be scared off by you. He was extremely

3:12:37

unwilling, but he didn't dare to make

3:12:39

another move against you, so he could

3:12:41

only leave a parting threat before

3:12:42

hurriedly fleeing. Brat, you just wait.

3:12:46

Sooner or later, I'll make you kneel and

3:12:48

beg me. Seeing Dais leave, you had no

3:12:51

interest in staying, so you called Kento

3:12:53

Ren to say you had something to attend

3:12:54

to and were leaving. When you went

3:12:56

downstairs, you happened to see Caori

3:12:58

being scolded by that manager. Caori was

3:13:00

being scolded until she looked agrieved,

3:13:02

but dared not talk back. You walked

3:13:04

over, took K's hand, and walked away. We

3:13:07

aren't doing this job anymore. How much

3:13:09

money do you need? I'll lend it to you.

3:13:10

Kori shook your hand off. You say it

3:13:13

easily. My father had a hand cut off and

3:13:15

two ribs broken. He needs 300,000 yen

3:13:17

for surgery. Can you lend me that?

3:13:19

Without thinking, you agreed. No

3:13:21

problem. I'll transfer it to you now.

3:13:23

Saying that, you immediately transferred

3:13:24

300,000 yen to Coori. Seeing you

3:13:27

actually transfer 300,000 yen, Caori's

3:13:30

eyes turned red instantly.

3:13:33

To pay for her father's surgery, Caori

3:13:36

had been forced to give up university

3:13:38

and work as a waitress in a place like

3:13:40

the Metropolis Club. Although she hadn't

3:13:43

been touched by any men yet, she knew it

3:13:46

was only a matter of time. Now that you

3:13:48

had lent her 300,000 yen, how could she

3:13:51

not be moved? Caori took a deep breath

3:13:54

for 2 seconds before saying, "Don't

3:13:56

worry. I will definitely pay this

3:13:58

300,000 back to you." As she spoke,

3:14:01

Caori turned and ran toward the

3:14:03

hospital. You hurriedly chased after

3:14:05

Caori. Caori, are you going to the

3:14:07

hospital wearing that outfit? Only then

3:14:09

did Caori remember she was still wearing

3:14:11

the flight attendant uniform. She

3:14:13

hurriedly went back to the dressing room

3:14:15

to change clothes before rushing

3:14:17

downstairs to call a taxi. Worried, you

3:14:20

accompanied her to the hospital. Cowry

3:14:22

asked you to wait downstairs.

3:14:25

Half an hour later, she returned to your

3:14:27

side. Reni Chino say, "Thank you so much

3:14:29

for today, but regarding my job, I hope

3:14:32

you won't interfere." "I don't know when

3:14:34

I'll ever be able to pay back this

3:14:35

300,000 yen, let alone the 3 million my

3:14:38

father owes," you looked at Caori. "Then

3:14:40

have you thought about yourself? If you

3:14:42

keep working in that kind of place,

3:14:43

you'll eventually be eaten up by those

3:14:45

men." Cowori lowered her head. "But my

3:14:48

family is in desperate need of money,

3:14:50

and I have no specialized skills.

3:14:53

Apart from this job, which pays 20,000

3:14:55

yen a month, I can't find another job

3:14:57

that pays that much. The more she spoke,

3:15:00

the softer her voice became. If there

3:15:03

had been any other way, Caori naturally

3:15:06

wouldn't have gone to work at a place

3:15:07

like the Metropolis Club. How about

3:15:09

this? Become my secretary. I recently

3:15:12

registered a company that will open

3:15:13

soon, and I'm looking for people. If

3:15:15

you're willing, I'll pay you 20,000 a

3:15:17

month. Plus, I'll give you two points of

3:15:19

equity in the company. If the company

3:15:21

does well, the annual dividends won't be

3:15:23

less than your salary. A flash of joy

3:15:25

crossed Caori's eyes, but she

3:15:27

immediately lowered her head again.

3:15:29

Forget it. I don't understand anything.

3:15:32

How could I be your secretary? You took

3:15:34

Coyi to the small flower garden in front

3:15:36

of the hospital building. Ki, don't

3:15:39

think I'm asking you to be my secretary

3:15:41

out of pity. I truly need a reliable

3:15:44

person. To me, whether a secretary has

3:15:48

great ability is not important. The most

3:15:51

important thing is loyalty. My company

3:15:54

is currently just a shell. Apart from an

3:15:56

office, and me, the boss, there's almost

3:15:59

nothing. Carrie was confused. Then how

3:16:02

do you make money? You laughed. In

3:16:04

Shanghai, people who make big money

3:16:06

often don't rely on doing the work

3:16:07

themselves, but on networking. I have a

3:16:09

friend who has various resources and can

3:16:11

help me get contracts for construction

3:16:13

and renovation. Once I get the contract,

3:16:16

I find a reliable renovation company to

3:16:18

do the work. I just act as the middleman

3:16:20

and can make the money safely. Cowori

3:16:23

looked at you with a glimmer of

3:16:24

admiration in her eyes. I never thought

3:16:27

after 5 or 6 years you'd be doing so

3:16:29

well in Shanghai. Since you trust me so

3:16:32

much, I'll give it a try. You were

3:16:33

delighted.

3:16:35

Yesterday, Mitu Shiroy told you the

3:16:38

company was registered and the office

3:16:40

was set up, telling you to find two

3:16:42

reliable people to get it running. You

3:16:44

had been worrying about this for the

3:16:46

past 2 days. In Shanghai, finding talent

3:16:49

is easy, but finding someone reliable is

3:16:52

harder than in small cities. Your first

3:16:54

thought was Yuko Yanigi. If you handed

3:16:56

the daily affairs to her, you would be

3:16:58

absolutely at ease. But Yuko's ability

3:17:00

was limited. She hadn't attended

3:17:02

university. Furthermore, Yuko still had

3:17:04

to run her small shop. Currently,

3:17:06

because Kento Ren was helping her, the

3:17:08

shop was doing well. You estimated she

3:17:10

wouldn't be willing to close the shop to

3:17:12

manage your renovation company, and you

3:17:14

didn't have many other friends in

3:17:15

Shanghai. If Ryoko, Leo Ruan, hadn't

3:17:18

betrayed you, handing this job to her

3:17:20

would have been ideal. But because of

3:17:22

money, she chose to be a mistress for

3:17:24

USO Coyama Hu Yuong. A woman like that

3:17:28

you could never trust again. Now that

3:17:29

you had met Cory, the problem was

3:17:31

solved. Cory, where do you live? I'll

3:17:33

take you back. Caori blushed. I'm

3:17:37

staying at a classmates for now. You can

3:17:39

just drop me at the complex gate. You

3:17:41

took a taxi to drop CORI off. As you

3:17:44

both got out of the car, she asked. So,

3:17:46

when do I start work? You smiled as you

3:17:48

looked at her. When do you want to

3:17:51

start? Ciori said immediately.

3:17:54

The sooner the better, naturally. Under

3:17:57

the moonlight, the face of Caori, now

3:18:00

washed of her heavy makeup, looked pure

3:18:02

and a bit shy, making your heart

3:18:04

flutter. Then let's start tomorrow. I'll

3:18:07

take you to see our office. Back in high

3:18:09

school, you actually had a secret crush

3:18:11

on Caori. At that time, most of the boys

3:18:14

in your class did. But Caori was not

3:18:16

only beautiful, her family was wealthy.

3:18:19

Even though you all had a crush on her,

3:18:21

no one dared to confess, including you.

3:18:23

The reason you chose to date Rayoko

3:18:25

after Cowori was gone was that Ryoko's

3:18:27

features were 30% similar to hers. But

3:18:30

compared to Cowori, Ryoko was far

3:18:31

behind. Watching Caori's shyness, you

3:18:34

felt a sense of triumph. There is no man

3:18:37

who wouldn't feel smug having the

3:18:39

goddess he had a secret crush on in high

3:18:40

school working as his secretary. After

3:18:43

telling Kiori the office address, you

3:18:45

watched her enter the high-rise building

3:18:47

before taking a taxi back to the hotel.

3:18:49

Because the peach blossom curse in

3:18:50

Mitiushiroyy's body was stable today.

3:18:53

She didn't come to see you tonight. The

3:18:55

next morning after breakfast, you took a

3:18:57

taxi to the golden tripod tower where

3:19:00

Caori was already waiting downstairs.

3:19:02

Miteru Shiroyy's rented office was on

3:19:04

the sixth floor. Caori was wearing a

3:19:07

white shirt with an exquisite bow tie,

3:19:09

simple yet elegant, paired with a black

3:19:12

pencil skirt that traced her lovely

3:19:14

curves. The overall look was capable yet

3:19:16

feminine. Seeing you, Caori hurried

3:19:19

over. Good morning, boss. Ren, hearing

3:19:21

her call you. Boss, you weren't quite

3:19:23

used to it. Carrie, don't call me boss.

3:19:25

Just call me by my name. Cowie shook her

3:19:28

head. That won't do. I'm your secretary

3:19:31

now. If I call you by your name, others

3:19:33

will think I don't respect you as my

3:19:35

boss. As the two of you talked and were

3:19:37

about to enter the elevator, you

3:19:39

suddenly saw a familiar figure run over,

3:19:41

your ex-girlfriend, [music]

3:19:42

Ryoko. When she saw you, her face

3:19:45

darkened. Renichos, are you sick? I

3:19:47

already told you it's impossible for us

3:19:49

to get back together. Why are you still

3:19:51

following me to my company? Don't think

3:19:53

just because we did it once last time,

3:19:55

you can push for more and get me to

3:19:57

reconcile with you. I'm telling you,

3:19:59

even if Huyu Song can't marry me, even

3:20:02

if I have to be his mistress forever, I

3:20:04

will never get back together with you.

3:20:06

You didn't expect Ryoko to be so

3:20:08

self-centered. You said coldly, "Don't

3:20:11

worry. Even if you wanted to get back

3:20:12

together, I wouldn't." Ryoko didn't

3:20:14

believe it at all. If you don't want to

3:20:16

get back together, why follow me to my

3:20:18

company? You really didn't want to talk

3:20:20

to Ryoko, so you simply ignored her. But

3:20:23

Riyoko thought you were feeling guilty.

3:20:26

What did I guess right? Can't answer

3:20:28

because you're feeling guilty.

3:20:31

>> Standing beside you couldn't watch

3:20:32

anymore and explained, "Rayoko, you

3:20:35

misunderstood. Boss Ren isn't here for

3:20:37

you. His newly opened company is right

3:20:39

here on the sixth floor of this tower."

3:20:41

Ryoko looked at Caori. The two hadn't

3:20:44

seen each other in over 5 years, and

3:20:46

Riyoko didn't recognize her. Beauty, you

3:20:48

must be a hired actress he brought in,

3:20:50

right? You should put more effort into

3:20:52

your acting. Didn't Ren Ichos tell you?

3:20:56

The sixth floor of the Golden Tripod

3:20:58

Tower is our Siru renovation. Caori had

3:21:01

never been to the Golden Tripod and

3:21:02

didn't know the situation. She hurriedly

3:21:05

looked at you. It was your first time

3:21:07

here, too.

3:21:08

I don't know what's going on either.

3:21:11

Anyway, the address my friend gave me

3:21:13

was the sixth floor. Let's go up and see

3:21:15

the situation first. Ryoko looked at you

3:21:18

with disdain. Act. Go ahead and act. You

3:21:21

really didn't want to waste words with

3:21:22

someone like Ryoko, so you didn't

3:21:24

explain further. The elevator reached

3:21:26

the sixth floor quickly. Ryoko went to

3:21:29

punch her clock while you and Cory

3:21:32

searched for your office. The sixth

3:21:34

floor of the golden tripod tower was

3:21:37

thousands of square meters. After

3:21:39

circling around, you finally found a

3:21:41

small storefront on the side with a sign

3:21:43

that read Unshow Renovation. You knew

3:21:46

the name Miterushiroy had registered for

3:21:48

you was indeed Unshow Renovation. So,

3:21:51

you took out the key and tried it. Sure

3:21:54

enough, the door opened. You sighed in

3:21:56

relief. Luckily, there was no mistake.

3:21:59

It was Coori's first day, and it would

3:22:01

have been embarrassing if you had gotten

3:22:03

the wrong address. Seeing that the place

3:22:05

wasn't clean, Coyi immediately picked up

3:22:07

a broom to start sweeping. Boss, you

3:22:10

stand at the door for a moment while I

3:22:12

clean up. Standing at the door, you

3:22:13

looked at your shop. Although it was

3:22:15

less than 100 square meters, this was

3:22:17

your first shop, your first company. You

3:22:19

couldn't help but think of your days as

3:22:20

a security guard [music] at the Kumokawa

3:22:22

Villa. Back then, you were busy all day,

3:22:25

barely making 5 or 6,000 a month, often

3:22:27

suffering the abuse of the owners, not

3:22:29

to mention having your pay docked. Back

3:22:31

then, you would never have imagined

3:22:33

you'd have a company of your own one

3:22:34

day. As you looked at your company and

3:22:37

thought about your old life, Ryoko's

3:22:39

voice came from behind. Oh, you really

3:22:43

came prepared.

3:22:45

So, you successfully got a job as a

3:22:47

renovation worker here, huh? A worker

3:22:49

pretending to be the boss. Renichos, how

3:22:53

was I so blind as to not realize you

3:22:55

were this shameless? If I had known, I

3:22:58

would have broken up with you long ago.

3:23:00

You ignored Ryoko and walked into the

3:23:02

office. But Ryoko kept chasing you

3:23:05

inside.

3:23:07

What? Exposed by me? So now you feel

3:23:09

embarrassed. If you feel embarrassed,

3:23:12

don't brag in front of me. You threw the

3:23:14

company's business license right in

3:23:16

front of Ryoko. Ryoko looked at the name

3:23:19

of the legal representative on the

3:23:20

license. She suddenly froze. She picked

3:23:22

up the license and stared at it for a

3:23:24

long time, discovering that the legal

3:23:26

representative was indeed your name.

3:23:28

Ryoko felt her brain shortcircuit. This

3:23:32

This is impossible. You're just a poor

3:23:34

security guard who guards gates with no

3:23:36

money and no degree. How could you

3:23:38

possibly open a company? You still

3:23:40

didn't explain. After putting away the

3:23:43

license, you said to Ryoko, "Designer

3:23:45

Ryoko, [music] since you know I wasn't

3:23:47

bragging, can you leave now?" Ryoko

3:23:50

walked back to her company like a lost

3:23:51

soul. With the help of Huy Yuong, she

3:23:55

had successfully joined Siru Renovation,

3:23:57

but she was only a junior designer with

3:23:59

a team leader above her. Her team leader

3:24:01

was a middle-aged woman in menopause

3:24:03

named Sato Chion, who had argued with

3:24:05

her husband yesterday and was in an

3:24:07

exceptionally bad mood. Seeing Riyoko

3:24:09

sitting foolishly in her chair, not

3:24:11

doing any work, she immediately scolded

3:24:13

her. Riyoko, what are you doing? The

3:24:15

company pays you to work not to go on

3:24:17

vacation. Don't think just because you

3:24:19

have Huyong backing you, I can't do

3:24:21

anything to you. If you don't finish the

3:24:23

tasks I assign, I'll still have you

3:24:25

fired by the manager. Ryoko hurriedly

3:24:28

lowered her head to work, but the fact

3:24:30

that you opened a company was like a

3:24:32

thorn in her heart, making her unable to

3:24:34

let it go. As soon as she finished the

3:24:37

tasks, she made an excuse to go to the

3:24:39

bathroom and secretly ran to your

3:24:41

company again. At this time, only Caori

3:24:44

was in the office, continuing to clean.

3:24:46

Ryoko observed Cayori from afar for a

3:24:48

long time and finally realized that she

3:24:50

seemed to be their high school

3:24:51

classmate. Ryoko was delighted and

3:24:54

immediately entered the company. You're

3:24:56

Cowori, right? When Caori saw Ryoko

3:24:58

enter, she smiled. Why did it take you

3:25:01

so long to recognize me? Ryoko

3:25:04

immediately said, "It's not that I

3:25:06

didn't recognize you. It's just that you

3:25:08

look so much more beautiful than in high

3:25:10

school. I didn't dare to be sure."

3:25:12

Ryoko's words were half flattery and

3:25:14

half fact. Cowori was pretty in high

3:25:17

school, but even prettier now. Cowori

3:25:20

pulled out a clean chair for Riyoko to

3:25:21

sit on. Cowori was quite simple-minded,

3:25:24

far from being as cunning as Ryoko.

3:25:26

Look, today is our first day open. The

3:25:28

cleaning isn't even finished, and we

3:25:30

don't even have tea. I'm so sorry. Ryoko

3:25:33

pretended to be affectionate and took

3:25:35

Cowori's hand. Cowori, we're old

3:25:38

classmates who haven't seen each other

3:25:40

in years. You don't need to be so

3:25:41

polite. Ryoko's eyes rolled as she said

3:25:45

this. Kyori, you wouldn't happen to be

3:25:48

Renie Chinos's new girlfriend, would

3:25:50

you? Kyrie hurriedly denied it. Of

3:25:53

course not. [music] Renie Chinos is a

3:25:55

big boss now. What qualifications do I

3:25:57

have to be his girlfriend? Rayoko

3:25:59

glanced out the door and seeing you

3:26:01

weren't back yet, pulled Cayori aside to

3:26:03

ask about you. Where did this guy get

3:26:06

the money to open a company? Caori shook

3:26:08

her head. I don't know either. I just

3:26:10

ran into him last night and found out he

3:26:12

opened a renovation company. Caori had

3:26:14

no defenses against Ryoko and told her

3:26:17

everything about their meeting. Seeing

3:26:18

that Caori also didn't know your

3:26:20

situation, Ryoko stopped asking. But

3:26:22

Cayori asked Ryoko, "I heard you and Ren

3:26:26

Ichinos talking earlier, did you just

3:26:28

break up? Why? Renchinos is so excellent

3:26:31

and such a good person. Why would you

3:26:33

break up with him?" Although Ryoko

3:26:36

didn't know how you opened this company,

3:26:38

she was convinced that opening it right

3:26:40

next to theirs meant you would

3:26:41

definitely not be able to compete and

3:26:43

would go out of business before long.

3:26:46

She made no secret of her disdain for

3:26:48

you. Cowori, are you talking about

3:26:50

Renichos? I dated him for 5 years. How

3:26:53

did I never discover what was excellent

3:26:55

about him? As for being a good person, I

3:26:57

admit he treated me well. But for a man,

3:27:00

having no money is the original sin. If

3:27:03

he has no money, what use is it to treat

3:27:05

me? Well, you've heard that saying,

3:27:07

right? I'd rather cry in a BMW than

3:27:09

laugh on the back of a bicycle. After

3:27:12

saying this, Riyoko ignored Caori and

3:27:14

turned to leave. In Rayoko's view, Caori

3:27:17

was just too stupid to come work for a

3:27:19

small company like yours. In a few days,

3:27:22

when your company couldn't get business,

3:27:24

it would naturally close down, and Caori

3:27:27

wouldn't even get paid. If Ryoko knew

3:27:29

that the salary you gave Cayori was

3:27:31

20,000 yen a month, three times her own,

3:27:34

who knows if she would still think the

3:27:36

same way. Ryoko returned to her company

3:27:39

and Satian immediately started scolding

3:27:41

her again. I turned my back and you

3:27:44

start slacking off, right? Ryoko

3:27:46

hurriedly explained. Sister Leu, I just

3:27:49

went to the restroom. Ryukiuchian gave a

3:27:52

cold snort. Took you half an hour to go

3:27:54

to the restroom. Sat Chian grabbed a

3:27:57

file folder and threw it in front of

3:27:59

Ryoko. This is the design plan I made

3:28:02

for Mr. Zho's Kajendoji bookstore. Take

3:28:04

it to Zhaoan immediately. If he has any

3:28:07

suggestions, be sure to note them down

3:28:09

and report them back to me clearly.

3:28:11

Riyoko looked troubled. Sister Leu,

3:28:14

didn't Mr. Xiao say yesterday that the

3:28:15

renovation of his Kjun doji bookstore

3:28:17

has already been given to someone else?

3:28:19

Even if you make a design plan, Mr. Xiao

3:28:22

won't let us do it. Ryukuchian

3:28:24

glared at Riyoko. If I tell you to

3:28:27

deliver it, deliver it. Why so much

3:28:30

nonsense? Are you the team leader or am

3:28:32

I? I'm telling you. If you can't deliver

3:28:35

this plan to Mr. Xiao's desk today, get

3:28:38

out. Ryoko hurriedly grabbed the file

3:28:40

folder to deliver it to the building

3:28:42

across the street. Once out of the

3:28:44

company, she immediately started

3:28:45

muttering, "Old witch, once I have my

3:28:48

own clients, let's see if I still serve

3:28:50

as your assistant." At the very same

3:28:53

time Ryoko went to deliver the file. You

3:28:55

were in an office in the building across

3:28:57

the street discussing a renovation plan

3:28:59

with a man in his 40s. Mr. Zho, this is

3:29:03

the initial design for your Kinjun Doji

3:29:05

bookstore. If there's anything you're

3:29:07

dissatisfied with, you can tell me or

3:29:09

write it directly next to the design

3:29:11

drawing. I'll have them fix it as soon

3:29:13

as I get back. Zoi put down the design

3:29:16

drawing in his hand and smiled. This

3:29:18

renovation is actually just a small

3:29:20

business. I originally intended to have

3:29:22

Sat Kien of Saru Renovation do it.

3:29:25

Later, Mitu told me that a friend of

3:29:27

hers had just opened a renovation

3:29:28

company. So, I gave the order to her.

3:29:30

Xiaoiu began to look you over. I heard

3:29:33

from my Miteru that you are not only

3:29:35

good at renovations, but you also know

3:29:36

some spiritual things. You nodded.

3:29:39

[music]

3:29:40

I know a little, but I wouldn't call

3:29:42

myself an expert. Zo Xiu was delighted.

3:29:45

Then, hurry and help me check the fune

3:29:47

of my office. I specifically hired a

3:29:49

fune master to design this office for

3:29:52

me. You carefully looked over the

3:29:53

office. Miteru Shiroy had already told

3:29:56

you that Zho Shiu was her cousin, and

3:29:58

now that he had entrusted you with an

3:30:00

order worth over a million yen in

3:30:01

profit, you naturally had to be

3:30:04

diligent. After carefully inspecting his

3:30:06

office, you spoke. Mr. Xiao, most of the

3:30:09

Fenue design of your office is

3:30:10

excellent, but there is one thing that

3:30:12

is problematic. Zho Xiu immediately

3:30:15

asked, "Which one?" You didn't answer

3:30:18

immediately, instead asking him, "Mr.

3:30:20

Xiao, have you been having frequent

3:30:21

headaches lately and sometimes feeling a

3:30:23

bit mentally translike?" Xiaoiu was

3:30:25

startled. How did you know? Only then

3:30:28

did you explain? Mr. Xiao, it wasn't

3:30:31

hard to guess. Someone has hidden

3:30:32

something in the ceiling right above

3:30:34

your head. If you weren't having

3:30:35

headaches, that would be the strange

3:30:37

thing. Xiao was even more astonished. No

3:30:40

way. Little Zen, you can tell just by

3:30:42

looking. There's a hidden object in the

3:30:45

ceiling above my head. You didn't

3:30:47

explain. Mr. Xiao, if you don't believe

3:30:50

me, you can have someone bring a ladder

3:30:52

and tear down a few pieces of the

3:30:54

ceiling. You'll naturally know if what I

3:30:56

said is true or false. Zho Xiu

3:30:59

immediately called two employees and

3:31:00

told them to tear down the ceiling where

3:31:02

he usually sat. Since the ceiling was a

3:31:05

single piece, it couldn't be dismantled.

3:31:08

So, he ordered them to break it open

3:31:09

with a hammer. After the two employees

3:31:12

smashed through, a bloodstained Kuji

3:31:14

charm/dagger fell directly out from

3:31:17

above. The two men were caught off guard

3:31:19

and almost got pricricked [music] by it.

3:31:22

Xiao Shiu's face changed drastically.

3:31:25

Bastard. He dared to sabotage me. You

3:31:27

picked up the item. Mr. Xiao, this

3:31:29

object has killed people, so it carries

3:31:31

very strong Shaw energy. Keeping

3:31:33

something like this above your head. If

3:31:35

you weren't having headaches, it would

3:31:37

be strange. Zho Shiu slammed the table

3:31:40

in anger. Get this thing out of here

3:31:42

immediately. You stopped him. This

3:31:44

object is still stained with the

3:31:46

victim's blood. If you send it to the

3:31:48

police station, they should be able to

3:31:49

find out who the victim was. Perhaps

3:31:51

through this clue, you can find out who

3:31:53

the person harming you is. Zoi, you

3:31:55

nodded repeatedly. Little Zen, you are

3:31:58

so thorough. He immediately went to make

3:32:00

a phone call. After hanging up, Zoi took

3:32:03

your hand with exceptional warmth.

3:32:05

Little Zen, you aren't using X-ray

3:32:07

vision. So, how did you find that hidden

3:32:08

object? You smiled and explained, "If

3:32:11

this were just an ordinary object, I

3:32:12

wouldn't have easily noticed it, but it

3:32:14

has killed people, and its shaw energy

3:32:17

is extremely strong. Even through the

3:32:19

ceiling, it's quite obvious. For those

3:32:20

of us who understand fune, it's easy to

3:32:23

find." After hearing your explanation,

3:32:26

Zho Shiu slammed the table in anger

3:32:28

again. It seems I was scammed by that

3:32:31

fune master I hired last time. After my

3:32:34

office was renovated, I specifically

3:32:36

invited him to take a look. That old

3:32:38

thing said my office design was

3:32:40

excellent and there were no problems.

3:32:43

What is the background of this master

3:32:44

you invited? Xiaoiu shook his head. I'm

3:32:48

not sure. The head of the Oumi shrine

3:32:50

recommended him to me. The old monk said

3:32:52

this master was a very good friend of

3:32:54

his and had a great reputation in the

3:32:56

world, so I trusted him. Hearing that it

3:32:58

was recommended by the head of the

3:32:59

Oizumi Shrine, you immediately said, "If

3:33:02

so, the fact that there was a cursed

3:33:04

object on the ceiling might not be

3:33:06

something he intentionally hid. He might

3:33:08

not have seen it at all." A few days

3:33:10

ago, I accompanied Sister Mishu to the

3:33:13

Oizumi Shrine and watched their head

3:33:15

monk perform a ritual on the spot. I

3:33:17

discovered that the monk's consecration

3:33:19

was just a hoax with no effect

3:33:21

whatsoever. Zho Shiu looked surprised.

3:33:24

Is that so? People in my circle all say

3:33:27

the head of the Oizumi shrine is very

3:33:29

powerful. Turns out this old monk is

3:33:31

also a scammer. Ziao thought for a

3:33:34

moment and dialed the Fenue Master's

3:33:36

phone. Master Zang, I have another job

3:33:39

here. I'd like to invite you to take a

3:33:41

look. Do you have time today? An old

3:33:43

man's voice came from the other side.

3:33:45

Oh, Mr. Xiao, I have a job this

3:33:47

afternoon. I might not be able to come

3:33:49

today. Could I come tomorrow to take a

3:33:51

look for you? Xiao Xiu immediately said,

3:33:54

"I'll add another 20,000 yen for you."

3:33:56

The Master Ciang on the other side

3:33:58

changed his tone immediately. "All

3:34:00

right, since Mr. Xiao is in such a

3:34:02

hurry, I'll drive over now. Send me your

3:34:04

address." Xiao Xiu suppressed his anger.

3:34:08

Just come straight to my office.

3:34:10

>> After hanging up, Zho Xiu said to you,

3:34:13

"Little Zen, when this old fraud arrives

3:34:16

in a moment, help me expose his tricks."

3:34:19

You felt a bit troubled, "Mr. Xiao, we

3:34:22

are all eating from the same world of

3:34:24

fune. Cutting off someone's path to

3:34:26

wealth is like killing their parents. If

3:34:28

you ask me to do this, won't they hate

3:34:30

me to death?" Xiao Xiu gave a cold hum.

3:34:34

What are you afraid of? I'll back you

3:34:37

up. You don't need to fear this old

3:34:39

thing, Jangui.

3:34:41

As long as you vent this anger for me

3:34:43

today, I'll give you a contract of no

3:34:46

less than 2 million yen every month from

3:34:48

now on. You were delighted. The

3:34:51

contracts Xiao Shiu gave, you had a

3:34:53

gross margin of over 40%. Even if you

3:34:56

passed it through someone else, you

3:34:57

could at least earn 30%. 2 million yen

3:35:00

would yield a profit of 500,000 or

3:35:02

600,000. That meant from now on, just by

3:35:06

relying on Zho Shiu, you could earn 6 or

3:35:08

7 million a year. You couldn't refuse.

3:35:12

All right, then I'll give it a try.

3:35:14

Seeing you agree, Zho Shiu patted your

3:35:16

shoulder. Good man. The old thing won't

3:35:19

be here for at least an hour. If you

3:35:21

have anything to do, go ahead. You

3:35:23

remembered that you had forgotten to

3:35:25

leave the office key with Caori, so you

3:35:27

prepared to head back. On the first

3:35:29

floor of Xiao Shiu Cex company, [music]

3:35:32

Riyoko was negotiating with the

3:35:33

receptionist. Beauty, I am really here

3:35:36

to deliver a design plan to Mr. Xiao.

3:35:39

Can you please call Mr. Xiao for me? The

3:35:41

receptionist was unmoved. Sorry, Miss

3:35:44

Ryoko. Our Mr. Xiao said he has

3:35:45

important business today and won't see

3:35:47

any outsiders. If you really are here to

3:35:49

deliver a design plan, just leave it.

3:35:51

When Mr. Xiao has time, I will pass it

3:35:53

on to him. Ryoko knew Xiao Shiu had

3:35:56

already rejected her team leader, Sato

3:35:58

Chan. If she left the plan, he

3:36:01

definitely wouldn't look at it. Ryoko

3:36:03

insisted on seeing him so she could try

3:36:05

to fight for it one more time. She was

3:36:08

confident that since she was pretty and

3:36:10

had a good figure, Zoi shouldn't have

3:36:12

the heart to refuse her. But no matter

3:36:15

what she said, the receptionist wouldn't

3:36:17

let her in.

3:36:19

Riyoko had been grinding her lips

3:36:20

against the receptionist for over half

3:36:22

an hour with no effect. Just as Ryoko

3:36:25

was thinking if there was any other way

3:36:26

to sneak into the company, she saw a

3:36:29

familiar figure come down from the

3:36:30

second floor. Ryoko was stunned. Renie

3:36:34

Chinos, how are you here? You had

3:36:36

intended to go back to give Caori the

3:36:38

key. And seeing Ryoko at the entrance

3:36:40

made you frown. I'm here to see a friend

3:36:43

about something. You turned and walked

3:36:45

away. You had completely seen through

3:36:47

Ryoko and didn't want to waste words on

3:36:49

her. But Ryoko wouldn't let it go.

3:36:52

Renichino, stop lying. You think I don't

3:36:55

know what you're thinking? You must have

3:36:57

heard that we are negotiating a big

3:36:58

order with Mr. Xiao, and you want to

3:37:00

steal our order, right? Rayoko let out a

3:37:03

cold laugh. Renich knows you really

3:37:05

overestimate yourself. With just a

3:37:08

twoperson company, you want to steal

3:37:10

business from me. Do you know how many

3:37:12

people our company has? Let me tell you,

3:37:14

we have hundreds of branches nationwide

3:37:16

with over a thousand designers. If you

3:37:18

count the renovation workers, there are

3:37:20

at least 5,000. A company that hasn't

3:37:23

even been open for 3 days wanting to

3:37:24

steal business from us. Ridiculous. You

3:37:27

ignored Riyoko again. Back at the

3:37:29

company, you gave the key to Caori and

3:37:31

told her that if she had time, she

3:37:33

should hire two designers online. You

3:37:36

hadn't planned to hire them yet, but now

3:37:37

that Xiaoi said he would give you a

3:37:39

monthly order of no less than 2 million

3:37:41

yen, you decided to hire them

3:37:43

immediately. That way, you wouldn't have

3:37:45

to outsource the designs. Currently, the

3:37:47

design plan you were using was still

3:37:49

done by a friend Miteru Shiroy had found

3:37:51

for you. After instructing Cowori, you

3:37:54

hurried back. You had to help Xiaoi Yu

3:37:58

expose the tricks of the scammer Zongju.

3:38:01

You didn't know what kind of tricks

3:38:02

Zangui used to fool Ziau. But with your

3:38:06

master's inheritance, you were confident

3:38:08

you could expose him. You returned to

3:38:10

Xiao Xiu s company. After waiting for

3:38:14

half an hour, you saw a little old man

3:38:16

in a gray Chinese style jacket enter.

3:38:18

The old man had long hair and was

3:38:20

carrying a toolbox, looking quite like a

3:38:22

master. Xiao Xiu didn't want the little

3:38:24

old man to know they had discovered the

3:38:26

cursed object in the ceiling of his

3:38:28

office. So he received Jang Jeki in a

3:38:31

different office. As soon as Jangeki

3:38:33

entered, he apologized to Zho Shiu.

3:38:36

I'm so sorry, Mr. Xiao to have kept you

3:38:39

waiting. I was just too busy today. It

3:38:41

took me half an hour to convince today's

3:38:43

client to reschedule so I could come to

3:38:45

see you first. Mr. Zhao, where do you

3:38:48

want me to look at the fune? Joshu said

3:38:51

intentionally. I felt something was

3:38:53

wrong with this office lately. A few

3:38:55

days ago, a girl in our company broke up

3:38:57

and jumped out of the window here, so I

3:38:59

always feel a bit of negative yin energy

3:39:01

in this office. Master, please take a

3:39:03

look for me. Zangi took a compass from

3:39:05

his toolbox and circled the office in a

3:39:07

pretentious manner. After circling once,

3:39:10

he immediately said, "Mr. Xiao, what you

3:39:13

said is not wrong at all. There is an

3:39:15

extremely heavy yin energy in this

3:39:17

room." As he spoke, he handed the

3:39:20

compass to Zho Shiu. Mr. Xiao, look. The

3:39:24

needle on my compass is shaking

3:39:25

violently, which proves there is a very

3:39:27

powerful evil spirit around here. Ziao

3:39:31

Xiu intentionally acted scared. Master,

3:39:34

what should I do? Can you help me remove

3:39:36

this evil spirit? Juaki pretended to be

3:39:39

troubled. Mr. Xiao, let me tell you the

3:39:42

truth. With my skill, removing this evil

3:39:44

spirit is not impossible, but it will do

3:39:46

great damage to my own power. Zho Xiu

3:39:49

immediately said, "I'll add another

3:39:51

20,000 yen. Does that work?" Jang Zueki

3:39:54

was inwardly delighted. This was exactly

3:39:56

the effect he wanted. "Mr. Xiao, you

3:39:59

really give me Jang Xui too much face."

3:40:02

"All right, then I will try." As the

3:40:05

saying goes, "A man dies for a friend.

3:40:08

And since Mr. Xiao thinks so highly of

3:40:10

me, no matter how powerful this evil

3:40:12

spirit is, I will try my best to remove

3:40:15

it for you." After saying this,

3:40:17

Jangjuiki started taking out his tools

3:40:20

to exercise evil spirits. His tools were

3:40:23

very complete. Not only were there

3:40:25

pre-drawn talismans, cineabar, and a

3:40:27

peachwood sword, but also ritual rulers,

3:40:30

ropes, and seals. Even you had to admit

3:40:32

it looked professional. Just as you were

3:40:34

watching the excitement, you discovered

3:40:36

that at the very bottom of Jangeki's

3:40:38

toolbox, there was an item that faintly

3:40:41

emitted a somewhat familiar aura.

3:40:43

However, because the bottom of the box

3:40:44

was covered with a piece of black cloth,

3:40:47

you couldn't tell what was hidden

3:40:48

underneath.

3:40:50

Nevertheless, you soon discovered that

3:40:52

this somewhat familiar aura was the same

3:40:54

as the aura of the peach blossom curse

3:40:57

on Machiru Shiroy.

3:40:59

That is to say, the thing hidden at the

3:41:01

bottom of Jangjeki's box was related to

3:41:04

the mysterious person who had cursed

3:41:06

Machiru Shiroy.

3:41:08

The person who controlled this item of

3:41:10

Jungeki should be the very same

3:41:12

mysterious person who placed the curse

3:41:14

on
