“It’s difficult,” Inagawa Hanahi said quietly. “With Yamagata Kenji’s power, it’s only a matter of time before he finds it.”
"Then why the hell did you ask me to cooperate!" Shirakawa Natsu almost cursed. Inagawa Hanahi wasn't there to find a partner; she was there to drag him down with her.
So what if I fucked your mother? Let's trade one for one, shall we?
"Just take care of him," Inagawa Hanahi said calmly.
“You…” Shirakawa Natsu gritted his teeth, understanding why Inagawa Hanahi had suddenly come to him at the funeral to seek cooperation.
Inagawa Kahime collaborated with him only because Yamagishi Hikaru and Yuzuriha Yu showed him high regard; in reality, she wanted to know the Yamagishi family's actions and attitude.
None of these association chairpersons are simple-minded; even Inagawa Hanahi, at such a young age, has a dark heart.
Just as he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of a black sedan parked on the side of the road. The door opened, and a familiar figure walked towards him.
"Yes, dumplings and Mapo Tofu. Please bring an extra pair of chopsticks and deliver them to room 02 on the 12th floor." Shirakawa Natsu said with a smile, then hung up the phone, stood up, and smiled at the person who came in: "Mr. Yamagata Ken."
"Xia likes to eat Yan cuisine." Yamagata Ken smiled, holding a file folder in his hand. Unlike his serious demeanor at the hotel, he looked exceptionally warm.
The man in black behind him retreated to the side of the black car, not daring to listen to the conversation between the two.
"Yes, I've been busy until now," Shirakawa Natsumi said calmly with a smile.
"Sit down." Ken Yamagata pointed to the flower bed and sat down without any hesitation.
Shirakawa Natsumi's heart pounded, her face remained calm, but her heart was in turmoil. Fortunately, she had seen many big scenes these past few days and was still able to maintain her composure: "Mr. Yamagata Ken, is there something you need from me?"
Ken Yamagata's gaze swept over him, a half-smile playing on his lips: "I've been dealing with you young people for over 40 years. Some of you are doing it to climb the ladder, and some are forced into it. I can tell whether a young person is lying just by sniffing."
"Mr. Ken Yamagata, if you have something to say, just get to the point." Shirakawa Natsu felt a chill run down her spine from his gaze, but she remained calm on the surface.
Ken Yamagata nodded, then suddenly pointed at the man in black who had come with him: "He is one of the demons that Yuzuriha Yu sent to my side."
"Huh?" Shirakawa Natsu was taken aback and looked in the direction he was pointing. The man was in his thirties and stood next to a black car, looking like a bodyguard.
He saw Ken Yamagata suddenly raise his head and point at him, clearly also in a daze.
The next second, an office worker walked past him. In the instant the two passed each other, the ordinary office worker suddenly pulled a dagger from his briefcase and plunged it directly into the heart of the bodyguard in the suit.
The bodyguard in the suit stared in disbelief at the knife hilt in his chest, his body went limp, and he collapsed forward onto the other man.
The office worker skillfully opened the car door, shoved the man in the suit into the back seat, and then opened the driver's side door and drove away.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and no one around even realized what was happening.
"Huff...huff..." Shirakawa Natsumi gasped for breath, her face filled with fear, and cried out, "I didn't! I was in a relationship with Inagawa Hanahi's biological mother, Hojo Maki, so I wanted to get along with Inagawa Hanahi. I really don't know what she did!"
Ken Yamagata chuckled and then placed his hand on Natsu Shirakawa's shoulder: "Don't be nervous. I can't see any suspicious signs in your bloodshot eyes, and the blood in your veins can't support any talent for cunning."
Shirakawa Natsumi opened her mouth, still unable to speak, staring at Yamagata Ken in disbelief.
Of course, he was faking it all; he was genuinely scared, and what he just witnessed had truly frightened him.
At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he was a time traveler and had the Minotaur's heart. If he were really an 18-year-old freshman, he would probably have confessed everything by now.
The relationship between Inagawa Hanahi and Hojo Maki is a secret, but only to ordinary people.
But Yamagata Ken's visit to him must have been because he had already investigated his social connections, which couldn't be kept secret. Shirakawa Natsumi bet that he saw him get into Hojo Maki's car at that funeral, which is why he suspected him, but he couldn't produce any evidence.
If there were solid evidence, they wouldn't be here to scare him; they would be sending gunmen directly.
“You are appreciated by Yuzuriha Yu and Yamagishi Hika. I am a close business partner with the Yamagishi family. I have a nephew who is about your age. You can call him Uncle, just like he does.” Yamagata Ken smiled warmly and handed him his briefcase. “Xia likes to eat Yan cuisine. Here is 20% of the hotel shares from this morning. It’s a gift for you.”
"No, I..." Shirakawa Natsu quickly declined.
"Don't refuse the kindness of your elders." Ken Yamagata placed the file bag beside him and then stood up.
Another car drove up beside them, and he waved to Shirakawa Natsumi before opening the door and leaving.
Shirakawa Natsu watched the car drive away, then quickly picked up the thick folder of documents, opened it, and sure enough, it was a share transfer agreement.
Simply by signing, you can immediately acquire a 20% stake in a five-star hotel.
As the agreement was pulled out, a stack of documents followed.
Shirakawa Natsu picked it up, his eyes narrowing slightly. It was a detailed file about him, including his family members, relatives, friends, and even Minoki, who was close to him.
He also saw Hojo Maki inside, but he didn't find out that they had slept together; he only found out that he and Hojo Kanna were friends.
Judging from the level of detail, it appears that Ken Yamagata began investigating his background after that memorial service.
"Old fox." Bai Chuanxia's face was gloomy. If it were an ordinary person, they would have given in to his intimidation and sweet talk.
But Ken Yamagata overlooked one thing: with the Yellow Hair App around, he never paid attention to these mundane things from beginning to end.
How can we prevent danger from happening? Of course, we should address the problem at its root.
He sat there lost in thought, as the sun set and the whole world was draped in a red veil.
"Ring ring ring!" A cell phone rang.
Shirakawa Natsumi took out his phone. It was Aunt Maki calling. He quickly answered the phone; it must be something important, otherwise she wouldn't be calling him: "What is it?"
“Ken committed suicide, cutting his carotid artery with shards of glass in the bathroom.” Hojo Maki’s voice was icy.
"Suicide...? How could he commit suicide? That's impossible!" Shirakawa Natsu hung up the phone in disbelief.
He sat back down on the flowerbed. Ken's sudden suicide was definitely related to Yuzuriha Yu's meeting with him today.
Yuzuriha said she would try to save him, but he said he couldn't escape.
What else did they say?
Yuzuriha Yu also said that secrets cannot be kept forever.
Key committed suicide to keep the secret.
"No!" Shirakawa Natsu felt as if he had grasped a thin thread connecting everything, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.
Why would Ken say that after his older brother's death, only Yuzuriha Yuu is left? Logically, the current head of the Yamagishi family should be Yamagishi Hikaru.
There were also weapons prepared by Ken Yamagata.
Chapter 226 I like you
Terrifying speculations arose in her mind, and at that moment, Yamagishi Hika, this beast-like woman, became the center of the vortex.
"Calm down!" Shirakawa Natsu took a deep breath, forcing her heartbeat to steady itself.
As the sun sets, the evening breeze caresses my face, bringing a slight chill.
He was waiting; the side quest would refresh in less than an hour, which was typical of the Huangmao app.
When a new friend appears, the first task will be prioritized for that new friend.
Now we're just waiting to see what missions Yuzuriha will trigger, and then we'll decide what role he'll play in the upcoming major events.
Time passed by, the sun set, and the surrounding light gradually dimmed.
The surrounding streetlights illuminated the city of Tokyo as night fell, but the undercurrents beneath the surface hinted that this night would not be peaceful.
The countdown for the tasks on the Huangmao APP has officially reached zero, and the tasks have been refreshed.
"Mission Name: The Person You Admire Is My RBQ (Righteous Sexual Abuse)"
"Random friend: Yuzuriha Yu".
"Mission objective: Higanbana on the mountain bank."
"Task start condition: Photography (Beginner)."
"Task 1: Make Hikaru Yamagishi stick out her tongue, make a V-sign, and rub it on her face. Take a picture and send it to Yuzuriha Yu. (Reward: 30 points)"
"Task 2: Have three or more people have sex with Yamagishi Hikaru, make her read the slave declaration, and film the scene and send it to Yuzuriha Yu. (Reward: 100 points)"
Special Reward: Complete any of the above tasks to receive a random item.
After reading the side quest, Shirakawa Natsumi's vision went black.
Instead of making a terrifying woman like Hikaru Yamagishi stick out her tongue and make a V-sign, it would be better to just throw her into the cement to pave the road.
As for Task Two, he didn't even bother to look at it.
"This is killing me!" Shirakawa Natsu covered his face. In the past, he could quickly come up with a plan for missions.
He couldn't even find a theoretical possibility of completing this task.
The mission name gave him some information; he never expected that Yuzuriha Yu admired Yamagishi Hikaru.
The two have completely opposite styles.
Shirakawa Natsu sat there, pondering the feasibility of completing the mission.
But no matter what assumptions are made, under the current conditions and given their respective positions, there is no possibility of completing this task.
Even if he doesn't want to admit it, he's like a teddy bear trying to seduce a lion.
Putting aside Yamagishi Hikaru's status as a yakuza boss, even if you just throw the two of them together, the result is that he gets torn to pieces by the lion.
"Sigh..." Shirakawa Natsu's spirits sank, and she collapsed.
This state only lasted for three minutes before he sat up straight again and shook his head.
He and the lecherous fox had agreed that he would handle these matters on his own, but who knows where the lecherous fox might be hiding and watching.
After taking action to rouse yourself, process the information you have received in your mind.
I took out my phone, opened the Yamagishi Hika phone number, and my fingers started to tremble uncontrollably as I looked at the name.
But he quickly gritted his teeth and pressed it down.
Shirakawa Natsu had her eyes closed, her legs trembling slightly.
"Beep beep beep." After three rings, the call was answered.
There came a cacophony of footsteps and the clanging of metal—the sound of guns being cocked and loaded.
The person on the other end of the phone was clearly inspecting the firearms, and there were quite a few people around.
"What is it?" Yamagishi Hika's voice was devoid of emotion.
Shirakawa Natsumi took a deep breath and lowered her voice: "Yamagishi-nee, I have something important to report to you."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, like a hand gripping his heart.
He sees no possibility of completing the mission at present, and he must create an opportunity, but a dangerous woman like Yamagishi Hika is definitely not someone he can control.
"Okay, let's go to the villa today."
After saying that, Yamagishi Hika hung up the phone.
Shirakawa Natsu put down her phone, calmed her breathing, and hailed a taxi on the roadside.
The Yamagishi family's villa complex was still brightly lit at night, and there seemed to be more people patrolling than during the day.
The taxi stopped a long way off and refused to move forward.
Shirakawa Natsu had no choice but to get out of the car and walk to the entrance of the villa complex. After being checked, she was allowed to pass.
Several groups of gang members ran past him, well-trained and with serious expressions.
Shirakawa Natsu sensed the change in atmosphere and, not daring to look around, quickly walked to the villa where Yamagishi Hikaru was located.
From afar, I could see her casually sitting on the steps at the entrance. The villa was dark, so she had come from elsewhere to wait for Shirakawa Natsumi.
"Sister Yamagishi." Shirakawa Natsu stepped forward and saluted.
"Sit down." Hikaru Yamagishi pointed to the steps beside her, indicating that he should sit down.
Shirakawa Natsu relaxed slightly; so far, Yamagishi Hika has not shown any hostility towards him.
In order to complete the mission, he had to show off some amazing skills.
"Don't be nervous. I've said it before, you're mine." Yamagishi Hika glanced at him out of the corner of her eye: "Just say what you need to say."
“Ken Yamagata came to see me today.” Shirakawa Natsumi took out a share transfer agreement from her pocket and handed it to Yamagishi Hika: “He gave this to me.”
Hikasa Yamagishi didn't take it, her expression completely indifferent: "Since it was given to you by him, just accept it. Is there anything else?"
Shirakawa Natsu took a deep breath. The crucial moment was approaching; success or failure hinged on this. He lowered his voice.
"I discovered that Ken Yamagata wants to take action against the Yamagishi family."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shirakawa Natsu felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by a wild beast.
Hikaru Yamagishi narrowed her eyes, her gaze no longer calm but dangerous.
