Standalone Tokyo

Chapter 236 Heartbreaking
After spending that debauched afternoon and having dinner, Fujiwara Masato lazily lay on the balcony at the rear of the yacht, looking at the beautiful sunset that was dim but not dazzling. Behind him, Asami Inoshita and Keiko were cleaning up things in the kitchen.

At this moment, Fujiwara Masato's heart was filled with longing for a better future.

"Jingle Bell……"

In this poetic atmosphere of "the sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is near dusk", Fujiwara Masato's satellite phone rang at an inopportune time, interrupting this beautiful atmosphere.

"Hello, who is that?"

Because he was in a unhappy mood, Fujiwara Masato's tone was not very polite, which made the person on the other end of the phone feel a little nervous.

"I am very sorry, Master Fujiwara Masato. I am truly sorry to bother you at this time."

It’s Masaki Aiko.

After realizing that the person opposite him was a girl, Fujiwara Masato relaxed temporarily and his tone became less serious.

"It's Masaki Aiko...what's going on?"

"...I'm very sorry to bother you at this time, Master Fujiwara. Is it convenient for you to talk now?"

Listening to these honorifics that were repeated too much and contained very little effective information, Fujiwara Masato felt sick of it. This Japanese was really difficult to listen to, and inverted sentences were popular. There were too many honorifics, and the long and boring words were so long that you had no idea what she wanted to say until you finished listening to her.

"It's convenient. If you have something to say, just tell me."

"Hey... Master Fujiwara, I wonder if I could know where you are now?"

"I'm on vacation now. As for where..."

As Fujiwara Masato spoke, he was thinking about the meaning behind Masaki Aiko's question.

"On the beach, listen to the sound of the waves."

Fujiwara Masato has complicated feelings about Masaki Aiko.

When he first came into contact with this girl, driven by physical reasons, Fujiwara Masato had certain fantasies about this junior high school maid, and therefore had a lot of good feelings towards her.

This kind of imagination is human nature, and it exists for both men and women. When men and women see a beautiful person of the opposite sex, they will subconsciously think of things that cannot be described to a second person. As long as the imagination is not put into practice in reality, it is not a sinful thing.

The goodwill brought about by this imagination was one of the reasons why Fujiwara Masato accepted Masaki Aiko to stay with him. Unfortunately, this goodwill only lasted until after the New York incident and then disappeared.

When Masaki Aiko left Fujiwara Masato for no reason, the latter's good impression of the former also flew away.

Fujiwara Masato is a very rational person. He can accept that Masaki Aiko came because of the family's orders. When Masaki Aiko left for the same reason, Fujiwara Masato did not blame her. However, the goodwill brought by the fantasy naturally disappeared.

Because Fujiwara Masato discovered that since you come and go for the same reason, do you have feelings for me? Have you ever been attached to the benefits I have given you and my position in the poker organization?
Fujiwara Masato felt that there was no such person, so from that moment on, Masaki Aiko lost the opportunity to truly gain his trust.

Now that Masaki Aiko called, Fujiwara Masato subconsciously guessed her intentions, and did not think that the latter called out of concern.

Masaki Aiko on the other end of the phone fell silent. Young but smart, she naturally noticed from this conversation that Fujiwara Masato was being perfunctory and wary of her.

"...Master Fujiwara, Master Uehara wants to see you. He asked me to ask you when you have time to go to Uehara Manor."

"Probably three months later." Fujiwara Masato answered without hesitation.

This was a perfunctory remark, because he himself had not yet decided when to end this journey, but he would definitely not return to Tokyo until the revenge action was over.

Fujiwara Masato is not stupid. He has seen Daisuke Inoshita's revenge plan, although it is very covert.

But Shintaro Uehara is a cunning old fox. Knowing the whole story, even without evidence, he can definitely guess who is responsible for the troubles that Uehara Kazuto has encountered recently.

What are you going back to Tokyo for now?
Should I accept the biased attitude of this cheap old man Uehara Shintaro, or should I let Uehara Kazuto scheme against me for the second time?
As for whether the angry Shintaro Uehara and Kazuto Uehara will take action against the poker organization, non-NPC subordinates, and those pharmaceutical companies that are making money, Fujiwara Masato is not worried about it.

No matter when, your own life is the most important thing. Once your money and the lives of your subordinates are gone, they are gone too.

Money can be earned again. Now that the poker organization is on the right track, it is not difficult for Fujiwara Masato to make money.

The same goes for subordinates. If they are gone, they are gone. You can find new ones. As long as the important NPCs are alive, you can take the time to slowly recruit non-NPC subordinates again.

So, no matter what, Fujiwara Masato would not return to Tokyo at this time.

Masaki Aiko may not understand what happened, but she has now realized that something is wrong. In the subsequent reporting conversation that lasted more than ten minutes, she no longer asked where Fujiwara Masato was, and hung up the phone after finishing the business.

Masato Fujiwara looked at the number on the satellite phone, shook his head slightly, and picked up the walkie-talkie beside him.

"Captain, change course now and leave this area."

"clear."

Although doing so may seem overly cautious, the fact is that satellite phones can also be tracked by communication signals, but the location of the signal will not be very accurate, and trackers can only get the approximate location of the user.

In order to prevent any unexpected events, Fujiwara Masato felt that it would be better for the Platinum Star to move a little and travel four or five hundred kilometers, because it was now near the coast of the Japanese archipelago and within the range of civilian helicopters.

……

"Why don't you ask where Fujiwara Masato is?"

Just as Masaki Aiko put down the satellite phone in her hand, a questioning voice rang out. She looked up to the side and saw the heir of the Uehara family, Uehara Kazuto, standing there, glaring at her angrily.

"Master Uehara, I asked Master Fujiwara, but he didn't want to tell me!"

"Bagaya road!"

"Snapped!"

A big slap landed on Masaki Aiko's face, and the huge force forced her to turn around and fall. When she turned around, Uehara Kazuto could see the red and swollen handprint on her pretty face.

Uehara Kazuto had no sympathy for women. When he saw Masaki Aiko's face, he only felt disgusted.

"Waste, a woman who can't even ask a question properly."

After saying that, Uehara Kazuto waved his hand and left the room belonging to Masaki Aiko in Uehara Manor, leaving the latter crying silently.
