Chapter 037 – The Turbulent Upper Echelons
“A good show…” Yukinoshita Haruno frowned slightly, suddenly having an ominous premonition in her heart.
“That’s right, a good show.” Luo Feng saw a maid pass by, casually picked up a glass of wine from the tray she was carrying, and took a light sip: “Didn’t you think I’ve been deceiving you all along?”
“Isn’t that the case? Serving for ten years and all that…”
“Don’t misunderstand.” Luo Feng shook his head: “Your soul quality is too average, sleeping with you would make me feel like I’m at a loss, I just want you to be my secretary for ten years.”
“Hmph, a ploy of feigning weakness to overcome, is it?” Yukinoshita Haruno no longer wanted to bother with Luo Feng, her gaze fixed on the person she was waiting for.
He was dressed in a proper suit, looking to be around forty years old, but if he took good care of himself, fifty wouldn’t be impossible either.
This person is a real estate tycoon in Tokyo, planning to expand his business in Chiba, the Yukinoshita family’s construction company has complete procedures, enough talent, and good hardware facilities.
If it weren’t for the fiasco in the stock market, he wouldn’t even be able to consider acquiring them.
The price he offered, though still unreasonable, is at least stronger than others, he just wants to use his prestige to directly take over the Yukinoshita family’s construction company, to avoid other variables.
Haruno has been keeping an eye on him, he brought two bodyguards, a secretary, and a driver.
Judging from the female secretary’s appearance, in terms of temperament, she is in no way inferior to Haruno, she looks like a very capable secretary.
After he came in, he didn’t greet Haruno first, but went to visit the host, an Englishman.
After that, he should first talk to those with more influence, and by the time it’s Haruno’s turn, it would be at least half an hour later.
Social etiquette can sometimes be very real, they can’t just ignore the famous ones and go straight to someone like Haruno.
In the past, her ranking may have been much higher, but unfortunately the Yukinoshita family has fallen.
“I wonder, what kind of dark soul is hidden under this glamorous appearance?” Luo Feng had an entranced expression: “The evil in these people is countless.”
“You don’t naively think that those who can build such a family business are all good people, do you? How naive.” Haruno sneered.
“Hmm, never mind.” Luo Feng, holding a glass of wine, headed towards his driver.
His bodyguards and secretary have been following him, only the driver was left alone.
Haruno was somewhat puzzled, she couldn’t understand Luo Feng’s behavioral pattern at all.
Soon, Luo Feng approached his driver, a middle-aged man who looked very honest.
“Hello there.” Luo Feng greeted him.
“Hello, I’m Kuboyama, the driver for Mr. Ishiyama.” Kuboyama was a bit puzzled, why would a ‘big shot’ want to greet him, but he still respectfully bowed.
Could it be that he wants to get close to the master and find out about Mr. Ishiyama’s hobbies?
“You have a pretty good wish.” Luo Feng looked at the chatting Ishiyama, with a half-smile: “You want to kill your boss.”
“Sir, please don’t talk nonsense!” Kuboyama frowned slightly.
“Nonsense?” Luo Feng’s squinting eyes opened a little wider: “Didn’t you download an app called the Seven Deadly Sins?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Kuboyama wanted to distance himself from Luo Feng, but found that he couldn’t move.
The entire mansion seemed to be covered in black and white, only Luo Feng and Kuboyama were in color.
Those people were motionless, as if time had been frozen.
Haruno looked horrified at the freely moving Luo Feng, although she couldn’t move, her mind was still active.
Other people’s time has been stopped, but hers hasn’t!
This, this has already gone beyond the realm of magic, even the Kaitou Magician Gang wouldn’t dare to do this!
Soon, both Haruno and Kuboyama felt a shudder from the depths of their souls, a fear of the supernatural.
In the black and white world, ghostly souls, earth-bound spirits who haven’t transcended death, and some yokai normally unseen, began to manifest in the air.
The seemingly peaceful Kyoto, was like a night parade of a hundred demons.
The golden sky earlier, at this moment seemed to be dyed in the color of blood, it was not a blood-red sunset, but a sea of blood floating in the sky!
And Luo Feng’s figure, in the eyes of the two, suddenly became mysterious and towering.
He is a devil, he is truly a devil!
This was the cry in Haruno’s heart.
Previously, her disrespect towards Luo Feng was entirely because he behaved just like a normal person, just like a trickster.
In today’s society, it is increasingly difficult to deceive people, especially someone as sharp-minded as Haruno.
If he didn’t show some supernatural means, it would be impossible to convince people.
If Luo Feng had shown this hand earlier, Haruno definitely wouldn’t have treated him with the previous attitude.
Of course, Luo Feng didn’t mind, if she had believed him right away and signed the contract, wouldn’t he have been shortchanged?
He won’t stop until he’s drained the other party of everything.
“I am a devil, the devil who grants you power.” Luo Feng turned around and looked at Kuboyama, then sat down on the floor.
“Your wife, sister, they’re all involved with your boss, aren’t they?” Luo Feng sat on the ground, smiling at him: “You’ve served him for twenty years, your wife was introduced to you by him, he attends your daughter’s birthday every time. You’ve long since discovered something was wrong, but faced with the high salary, you’ve endured in silence, even berating your own wife.”
“That…that app is real…” Kuboyama muttered.
“Of course.” Luo Feng took a sip of red wine: “Originally, you were willing to endure if it was just your wife, but when you discovered your own sister went to a love hotel with him, you could no longer endure it, but you lacked the ability, you didn’t even know where to get a gun, so you could only turn to the devil for revenge, right?”
“Can you really help me get revenge?” Kuboyama was taken aback.
“Of course, I can give you power, give you weapons, but I won’t kill anyone.” Luo Feng shook his head: “Devils like transactions, not assassinations.”
“But if I kill him, I’ll go to prison…” Kuboyama swallowed.
“Prison? You’ve already lived like this, your wife, your sister, are all his mistresses.” Luo Feng stood up and walked up to him: “At this point, are you still afraid of death? Do you think your life still has meaning?”
To endure it this way, Luo Feng was quite impressed with him…
