Chapter 032 – Collectible
“Fully take over? What are you going to do?” Yukinoshita Saori’s pupils shrank: “You want to sell off the law firm that the Yukinoshita family has accumulated over generations?”
“Mother, our only choice now is to give up these things, do you think many people are willing to take them over at this time?” Yukinoshita Haruno shook her head: “The only one who has offered a price at this level is one person.”
“How much money?” Yukinoshita Saori quickly asked.
Haruno casually mentioned a figure and the name of the buyer.
Yukinoshita Saori was just about to explode, after all, the price offered was simply taking advantage of the situation.
With the buyer’s financial capacity, they could easily swallow the law firm and then restore it to its original value.
But after thinking about it, she sat back down dejectedly.
Indeed, at this time being able to offer this price is already very rare.
“The reason I’m willing to sit here and talk to you is because I need your consent.” Yukinoshita Haruno said softly: “Your way is completely unreliable, we can’t pin our hopes on vague occultism, but should rely on our own abilities to solve the current problem.”
“Then what about our future?” Yukinoshita Saori couldn’t help but feel confused.
She had never imagined that her family would be on the edge of the cliff due to the three circuit breakers.
The Yukinoshita family was actually doing very well, at this point taking a step back wouldn’t lead to everyone jumping off a cliff.
“It’s the three choices I mentioned, we rely on a big family, and the Yukinoshita family will cease to exist, just like the Shijo family relying on the Shinomiya family, but even being able to rely on a family like the Shijo is lucky for us.” Yukinoshita Haruno analyzed calmly: “The Yukinoshita family will be subject to others in the future, but our enemies won’t swallow us up.”
“What else?” Yukinoshita Saori continued.
“The second choice, go abroad, be a small-time wealthy person in another country, don’t even think about big cities.” Yukinoshita Haruno said: “At least this way we can ensure that we few won’t run into danger.”
“What’s the third one?” Yukinoshita Saori began to weigh the options.
After calming down, or rather, accepting reality, it wasn’t that difficult to choose anymore.
“Become a small family, operate a few industries, maintain the status quo, Yukino can forget about relying on the family to advance in her career, father also needs to keep a low profile, including you and me, if others bully us, we can only choose to endure, not retaliate, in this way…” Yukinoshita Haruno sighed: “Maybe the next generation will adapt, and after accumulating for two more generations, if everyone is very outstanding, it’s not impossible to reach the current level.”
“Sigh, let it be.” Yukinoshita Saori said indifferently: “The future of the Yukinoshita family is in your hands.”
“Okay, remember to sign the papers when the time comes.” Yukinoshita Haruno nodded, put down the red wine, and walked out.
“You’ve been drinking, remember not to drive.” Yukinoshita Saori said.
“Don’t worry, the driver has to finish this month’s work.” Yukinoshita Haruno waved behind her.
Seeing Haruno leave, Yukinoshita Saori seemed to have made up her mind about something, and started to get dressed, preparing to go to that mysterious izakaya.
She wanted to know, how much could the family bleed if she staked herself, whether there was a chance of not being cheated.
As a former business tycoon, she was still very good at reading contracts.
Hopefully… the devil really is as respectful of the spirit of the contract as the legends say.
At this moment, a pure white feather fell on her head.
The fate of those few people was very clear…
Yukinoshita Saori’s gaze quickly became resolute.
So what? At this point, can they still rely on the gods to save the Yukinoshita family?
Haruno is working hard, she can’t fall behind either.
Sometimes, people have to go into the abyss, even the gods can’t stop them.
They all have their own reasons, their own purposes.
Some for family, some for love, some for the family, some for wealth and status.
To achieve their goals, even if it means selling their souls, even if they’ll die the next moment, they are unafraid, there are things more important than life or even the soul.
…
At the same time, Sora Ginko had already left the izakaya, and Luo Feng had followed.
“Where are you going?” Luo Feng asked.
“I don’t know.” Sora Ginko turned her head away.
She had realized that Luo Feng was really obeying the contract, at 8 o’clock sharp, he directly stopped his… actions towards her.
Given his physical strength and abilities as shown yesterday, he clearly could have gone on for much longer.
“Aren’t you going to play shogi?” Luo Feng adjusted his hat.
“Shogi?” A faint smile appeared on Sora Ginko’s face.
She could now respond to that child’s expectations, right?
When the time for the matches comes, she can show off her new shogi style.
Was this all… not in vain?
“Yes, I’ll go play shogi.” Sora Ginko nodded firmly, then her gaze became a bit complicated: “I don’t know how I should interact with you during the day…”
As for the night, no need to say, with this guy’s despicable nature, he probably won’t waste a single second.
She had originally thought that she wouldn’t be able to get out of bed today, and her voice would be hoarse, but unexpectedly, she was quite normal now.
“It’s up to you, an occasional izakaya owner, a passing devil, a big brother, or even wanting to make me your boyfriend or husband, all are possible.” Luo Feng said casually: “I will try my best to accommodate whatever way you choose to interact with me, and if you need me, I can even keep you company when I’m bored.”
“You’ll marry me?” Sora Ginko was taken aback.
“Of course not.” Luo Feng looked at her with a puzzled expression: “When did you get the illusion that a devil would get married?”
“Then why did you say I can treat you as a husband?” Sora Ginko gritted her teeth.
Even though he did that kind of thing to her last night, now he’s just acting like he didn’t take responsibility, is this what a devil is like?
No, he is taking responsibility, it’s just that his way of taking responsibility is different from normal people.
She suddenly had the illusion that she was somehow being “rented” by him…
“I never said you can treat me as your husband.” Luo Feng said frankly: “How you handle our relationship is your own business, it has nothing to do with me. Oh right, you have to remember, you can’t have intimate contact with anyone other than me, at most you can shake hands.”
“Tch…” Sora Ginko turned her head away: “We’re just a simple transactional relationship, whether others touch me or not…”
“It’s very important, if you don’t believe me, go to the museum and let them touch those precious collectibles, see if they agree?” Luo Feng smiled: “If I think you’re not clean anymore, not only will you be punished, the other party will too.”
“How can that be the same?”
“It’s the same, you are my collectible.”
