Chapter 046 – Mother Yukinoshita’s Rhetoric
No wonder there are so many unsolved cases in this world, it turns out there really are things like devils and angels.
Actually… sometimes this isn’t even the devil’s doing, Luo Feng says the devil doesn’t want to take the blame, those who have watched Detective Conan know, the ability of the Japanese police is really…
It’s not that they don’t have capable ones, but most are just mediocre.
Japan’s overall public security is still pretty good, so these people who can just sit back and collect their pay can be acceptable?
Anyway, it’s not in China, so who cares.
“Sell my soul, save our family.” Yukinoshita Saori said softly: “But my soul is not enough collateral, so I need you.”
“The soul… what will happen to it…” Yukinoshita Yukino stared at Yukinoshita Saori.
“It will go to hell.” Yukinoshita Saori picked up the tea in front of her, took a small sip: “I don’t even expect to go to heaven.”
How many bad things she’s done in her life, she herself doesn’t even know.
Going to hell after death, that should be pretty normal, right?
It’s only now that she realizes, the only one in their family who might go to heaven after death is likely Yukino.
Normal evil people, if they don’t sell themselves to the devil, and are still subject to heaven and hell, they might be tortured for a few days to a few hundred years after death, the sentence based on their sins in life.
Reincarnate afterwards, memories erased, a new start.
If sold to the devil, then it’s forever under hell’s management, how to deal with it is the devil’s business.
“I still feel there’s a trap, at worst we lose the law firm and the money invested in stocks, the family still has some assets left, plus father and my salaries, it should be enough for expenses.”
Yukinoshita Yukino is currently the calmest one in the family, she has the least contact with the family’s affairs, so her consideration of problems and consequences couldn’t possibly be like Haruno and Yukinoshita Saori.
Relatively speaking, she has also had the least exposure to the family’s dark side.
In her view, at worst they can start over from scratch.
She and her father have public service positions, how can they do anything to them?
Yukino doesn’t completely not understand, but sometimes the darkness of the world really exceeds imagination.
Yukinoshita Yukino’s father and she herself are still fine, they can’t do anything too obvious, but Yukinoshita Haruno and Yukinoshita Saori are in trouble.
Moreover, even if they let go, Yukinoshita Saori and Haruno might not be able to get through that kind of life.
“You’re thinking too simply, without the family, your position in the future won’t have any room for advancement, no one to sponsor you, you’ll gradually become a redundant employee, only needed when there’s danger.” Yukinoshita Saori rarely sat down to chat with her younger daughter.
“I’m not afraid of danger.” Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head: “In this position, someone will always die, it can be someone else, why can’t it be me?”
“Tsk…” Yukinoshita Saori was a bit troubled, what have the universities been teaching her? She’s been thinking all day about how to get her married off, why can’t she just open her eyes a little?
Haruno, the education problem of Yukino was entrusted to you, how did you raise such an unreasonable one?
“Have you considered the feelings of the family when you go play the hero?” Yukinoshita Saori said.
“Don’t the other sacrificed colleagues have families too? Don’t try to dissuade me.” Yukinoshita Yukino said: “I think this deal is wrong.”
“This time he didn’t want your soul, just mine, even if you don’t sign, I will, it’ll just be one billion then.” Yukinoshita Saori said: “Since you don’t want to, then I’ll go with your sister.”
“My point is, no one should sign, this matter is too strange, I want to find a way to check the information.” Yukinoshita Yukino said.
“Do you think I haven’t checked?” Yukinoshita Saori gave a bitter smile: “Apart from myths and movies, I couldn’t find anything. His public identity is just an izakaya manager, when I tried to use my remaining connections to investigate, I only found out his deeper dossier is top secret, I believe even the higher-ups don’t know about this so-called top secret, but I’m sure anyone who touches it will be in trouble.”
“Then don’t sign at all!” Yukinoshita Yukino said.
“Yukino, you can’t do this.” Seeing she couldn’t persuade Yukino, Yukinoshita Saori put on her stern demeanor again, the same expression and tone she used to deal with Yukino.
Her gaze was benevolent and warm, her voice soft and soothing, as if comforting Yukino. But on the other hand, it contained a coercive force that wouldn’t tolerate refusal.
She still had a smile on her face, but this smile made one’s heart feel cold.
Yukino instinctively dared not resist.
Even the strongest people, as long as controlled since childhood, even if they’ve grown up, will have psychological shadows.
If it weren’t for this stock market crash, Haruno would still be under Yukinoshita Saori’s control, let alone the less mature Yukino.
“You have to think of the family’s interests, your mother is willing to sell her own soul, you just need to work for him for a year.”
“I…”
“Yukino, you know your mother’s abilities, even now that the Yukinoshita family has fallen, there are still many things I’m capable of doing.”
“You’re trying to?” Yukino’s pupils shrank: “I won’t let you…”
“Do you think you can stop me?” Yukinoshita Saori shook her head: “Yukino, you need to listen. Aren’t you a self-proclaimed justice warrior? Right in front of you is a devil, a really bad one, no matter how many cases you solve, it’s not as good as reforming this one.”
“He has powers beyond ordinary people, if you can use your own justice to reform him, change him, do you know how much he can do for this world?”
“Mom knows about your high school dream, you were ostracized and bullied by those small and ugly people, and had a hard time, that’s unreasonable. So you need to change, including this world.”
“Do you think it’s easier for you to do this, or for him?”
Yukino opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Yukinoshita Saori again.
Interrupting others is a very impolite behavior, but some parents don’t care about being polite to their children.
“If you’re willing to sign this contract, I promise, I’ll never interfere in your future again, only help with your advancement, won’t choose a husband for you again, and the family won’t ask you to do anything else, let alone use your position to do something.”
Yukinoshita Saori sat firmly in front of Yukino after finishing: “If you’re unwilling, I’ve already warned you how I’ll act.”
Compared to telling the truth, this is the negotiation method Yukinoshita Saori excels at.
Now she can’t be so forceful with others, but with Yukino it’s still possible.
First threaten, then enlighten with reason, move with emotion, tempt with benefits.
For many people, using this kind of thing on their own family is a very callous act, but Yukinoshita Saori has never felt she was wrong.
She’s willing to sell even herself, still caring about Yukino’s feelings?
