Chapter 040 – Happy Sora Ginko
Luo Feng disappeared from Haruno’s sight as if he had never been there.
“It’s over, it’s all over…” Haruno sat on the ground, murmuring: “No, it’s not over yet, there’s still a chance, since he’s willing to pay, maybe there will be another willing to pay? The price, can be lowered another 20% and it’d still be acceptable… Can’t make a deal with him, this guy is a true devil.”
She knows what it means for a wish to be twisted and realized.
The traps in Luo Feng’s words wouldn’t be hard to discover in normal times, as long as one looks at it rationally.
But the situations of those people didn’t allow for much thinking, they could only choose to sign the contract.
Haruno has taken a heavy blow now, she doesn’t even care about the shock of the dead anymore.
The rationality she’s maintained these past few days is starting to collapse.
Her mind is in a mess now, overloaded.
She has no idea how to save the family.
The events happening here are no longer related to her, when the police come, she won’t say a word no matter how they ask.
The police also didn’t think much of it, many of the people present were severely shocked by the murder, how many of these so-called aristocrats have actually seen blood?
Moreover, this case is really too easy to define, no need to investigate much, the only suspicious thing is the source of the gun.
…
When Luo Feng returned to the izakaya, he found Yukinoshita Saori standing at the entrance.
He teleported back to the izakaya, had just opened the door, when Yukinoshita Saori walked in from outside.
She had been waiting outside the whole day, daring not to leave, but no matter how she knocked, Luo Feng didn’t respond.
She was about to give up when Luo Feng finally opened the door from the inside.
“Hello.” Yukinoshita Saori said softly.
“Hello, my beautiful lady.” Luo Feng gave a gentlemanly bow, then stepped back, hanging up his hat and coat.
Just as he did that, Sora Ginko walked in from outside, passing by Yukinoshita Saori.
She clearly remembered she had to be at Luo Feng’s by 7 pm, she didn’t know what would happen if she was late.
At first today she was a bit uncomfortable, but as soon as she started playing shogi, she immersed herself in the game.
Except for Kiyotaki Keika, no one noticed her abnormality, including Kuzuryuu Yaichi.
He found Sora Ginko’s strength has increased, she can even play against him, the two talked about nothing but shogi, unknowingly happy, like an old bachelor.
Her teacher was also quite happy, after all everyone was worried about Sora Ginko playing in the 3-dan tournament, but now her strength is such that challenging for a professional spot isn’t that difficult, unless all the 3-dans this time are freakish players, meaning all the Shoreikai 3-dans have to be at Yaichi and Kunugi Souta’s level, and Sora Ginko just happens to be unlucky, then she might fail.
As for how her shogi style has changed and improved, she said it was inspired by playing against Kunugi Souta.
In a sense, this is also true, if it weren’t for the match against Kunugi Souta, she wouldn’t have met Luo Feng.
It’s Kiyotaki Keika who wanted to keep her to chat today, but she didn’t stay.
She could face the “has another woman” Kuzuryuu Yaichi calmly, face her teacher calmly, but she didn’t want to face Keika-nee, afraid Keika-nee would discover her lying, discover her improper relationship with Luo Feng.
It’s like going to a loan shark, not wanting your family and friends to find out.
Although the analogy is a bit exaggerated, Sora Ginko’s transaction with Luo Feng doesn’t look normal no matter how you look at it.
The only good thing is that she is trading her talents, the capital for her dreams, not money.
“You’re here, go change in the back.” Luo Feng saw Sora Ginko arriving on time, casually said.
“Change clothes? What do you mean?” Sora Ginko was taken aback.
She had already mentally prepared herself from this time till 8 am tomorrow morning, how come he’s telling her to change clothes?
Could it be…
Don’t even think about it!
“The waitress uniform, of course.” Luo Feng looked at her puzzled: “Didn’t you know what it means to serve me for half a year? This izakaya can’t be run by me alone, right?”
“But, but you didn’t…”
“If you want, I can…”
“No, I don’t want to, I’ll go change right away!”
Sora Ginko’s mood suddenly lifted, hurriedly ran towards a door.
So there’s this kind of operation?
The contract said service, service can have many interpretations, being a maid is also a kind of service, isn’t it?
Wait, isn’t the woman beside me the same one that despicable guy showed me last time?
She knows Luo Feng’s way of granting wishes may be twisted, yet she’s still willing to come?
Indeed, once targeted by this guy, there’s no good outcome.
She feels pity for this person, but she can’t even protect herself now…
“Do you want this card?” Luo Feng held up the bank card he just acquired: “There’s quite a bit of money in it.”
He doesn’t have that high a need for money, giving it to Sora Ginko to spend wouldn’t matter.
“No need, I have my own money.” Sora Ginko said, leaving Luo Feng’s line of sight.
“Suit yourself then.” Luo Feng casually tossed the card on the table.
The guy he just dealt with was quite wealthy, it was him who wanted to give it, Luo Feng didn’t feel right not taking it.
The money here seems to be enough to make up the Yukinoshita family’s losses by another 200 million yen.
Even if Sora Ginko knew there was so much money, she most likely wouldn’t dare to spend it, taking advantage of Luo Feng is too difficult.
Yukinoshita Saori silently watched the interaction between the two, she felt Sora Ginko looked familiar, but couldn’t remember where she had seen her.
She doesn’t know what the relationship between Sora Ginko and Luo Feng is, didn’t rashly speak up, since Luo Feng didn’t invite her to sit, she also didn’t find a place to sit, keeping a low profile.
“Feel free to sit, want something to eat?” Luo Feng said.
“…”
Yukinoshita Saori couldn’t help but find it puzzling, do you really think you’re running an izakaya here?
She didn’t dare show it, obediently found a place to sit: “Just bring a few dishes.”
“Okay.” Luo Feng went to the back to make some for her.
What should I make for her today? Three servings of fried pork cutlet, simple and filling.
“Umm…”
“Wait till I’m done before saying anything.”
Hearing Luo Feng’s words, even though Yukinoshita Saori was impatient, she could only wait bit by bit.
At first it was Luo Feng wanting her to make a deal, now the identities have reversed, from the buyer’s bargaining power to the seller’s.
Just then, the open computer let out a flat female voice.
“We now interrupt with a news update.”
“A shooting incident has occurred at the Spencer residence, the victim is the famous real estate tycoon Ishiyama Sakuya, the gunman has been shot dead, identified as Mr. Ishiyama’s driver. The cause is still under investigation. Currently no other civilians were harmed, the police have the scene under control.”
“This news report is brought to you by reporter Kato Megumi(1) from the Legal Affairs Weekly.”
