The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 560: Battle for Ajian

“No, no, no… that’s not right.” Nanajo Masato quickly shook his head and denied, “How could it be an Immortal Spirit? I must have made a mistake.”

When Nanajo Masato heard Fushiki Ino describe the Pure Spirit, the first image that came to Nanajo Masato's mind was a beautiful, pure female ghost who was kind-hearted but had unfulfilled wishes and remained in the world. She radiated an illusory white light, and looked holy and quiet.

After learning that there was such a special ghost, because he had to rely on her to solve the curse, Shichijo Masato even thought of some sad and beautiful stories that made people cry.

But he absolutely refused to admit that the fat guy next to Inuyama Heita was the pure spirit he imagined!

Ken and Inuyama Heita didn't notice the strange guy staring at them across the street. Ken continued, "Hey, hey, Inuyama, do you want to go support Kiki and the others in a few days? They're preparing to release a new album, and they're warming up for it recently. I think we can even shake hands with them up close, hehehehe..."

Hearing that wretched smile, Nanajo Masato was certain that this was definitely not an Immortal Spirit! He wanted to turn around and leave.

...But it can think, can talk, and is not an evil spirit. Doesn't this description perfectly fit Fuki Yin's statement?
Nanajo Masato was extremely reluctant to admit that the fat guy was what he was looking for, but the pressure of reality forced him to bite the bullet and walk over to say hello to the other party.

"Hello, Heitaro, what a coincidence."

Inuyama Heita heard someone calling him, and turned around to see an office worker wearing a mask, but he looked familiar.

"It's me." Shichijo Masato took off his mask.

"Ah, Mr. Nanajo." Inuyama Heita bowed slightly. This man was a big moneymaker and he couldn't neglect him. Could it be that he was here to settle the commission? If so, that would be great. Inuyama Heita said, "Are you here to see Brother Otoko? He should be in the office now."

Nanajo Masato said, "No, I came to see you."

"We...you mean me and Brother Yi?" Inuyama Heita was a little confused. To find them, wouldn't he have to go upstairs to find Brother Yi?

At this time, he heard Ken beside him say a little nervously: "Inuyama... I think he is not talking about you and Brother Otoko, but... us? He seems to be able to see me?"

Only then did Inuyama Heita notice that Shichijo Masato's eyes were fixed on his side, where Ken was.

Although Ajian also knew Shichijo Masato, he had never appeared in front of psychics other than Qian Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita, so he was so scared that his whole body was stiff and he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Mr. Nanajo...what are you looking at?" Inuyama Heita asked tentatively.

Nanajo Masato's eyes sparkled: "Isn't this obvious? I just heard that your name seems to be Ken, right?"

"Ah~~~ He can really see me!" Ajian was so scared that he quickly hid in the jade pendant in Inuyama Heita's pocket.

Nanajo Masato was also startled. He murmured in surprise: "Is it really a ghost?..."

Inuyama Heita asked curiously: "Mr. Nanajo, can you see Mr. Ken? When will you also..."

"This is a long story." Nanajo Masato sighed and asked, "Anyway, I need Mr. Ken's help. Is he your shikigami or something? Heitaro, can you sell Mr. Ken to me? This is very important to me." Inuyama Heita said, "Well, you misunderstood. Mr. Ken is not my property..."

"How much do you want to sell it for?" Qijiu Zhengren said, "I can transfer the commission I owe you to you. Then, as for Mr. Jian, I can pay another 100 million to buy him."

"One...one hundred million?!" Inuyama Heita showed a surprised expression, and he was a little dizzy.

"Not satisfied?" Nanajo Masato frowned and said, "I know Mr. Ken is a very precious thing, but I have no choice now. Then I will add another 100 million, plus your agency's commission, a total of 300 million. This is the cash I can transfer to you now. If you are still not satisfied, I will reward you handsomely after the matter is completed... Please, Heitaro!"

"Actually, my name is Inuyama Heita..." Inuyama Heita corrected him awkwardly, then took a deep breath and said, "Well, Mr. Nanajo, I'm really not trying to shirk responsibility. Mr. Ken is indeed not my property. In fact, he is still my colleague. I am not qualified to decide who he belongs to. Maybe you should ask Brother Otoko for his opinion..."

"Colleague? That's Xiao Yi's property?" Shichijo Masato nodded. He patted Inuyama Heita's shoulder and said, "Then take me up, Heitaro. I'm looking for Xiao Yi as well."

"It's Heita..." Inuyama Heita said helplessly.

So, Inuyama Heita brought Shichijo Masato to the office again. After Qian Xiaoyi opened the door, he was about to close the door when he saw Shichijo Masato's face, but he squeezed in.

“Hey, wait! I’m not here to ask you to join the consortium this time.” Qiji Masato blocked the door with his body, and used his body to stop Qian Xiaoyi from closing the door: “I’m here to find you… Ouch! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! I’m still here, don’t close the door forcibly, you bastard!”

Finally, he sat on the sofa and explained his purpose to Qian Xiaoyi.

"Want to buy that fat guy? Are you blind?" Qian Xiaoyi raised his eyebrows, puzzled at first, then immediately realized: "So that's what you were thinking? Let Ajian bear the curse for your elder brother and eliminate the source of the curse, right?"

"That's right. Please name a price." Nanajo Masato said seriously, "Since you are unwilling to go to the consortium to help me, then you can sell the ghost to me, right?"

"No need to talk." Qian Xiaoyi took a sip of tea slowly and said, "I will not make any deal with your consortium. I dare not take your consortium's money."

"Eh..." Inuyama Heita showed a regretful look on his face. He was still thinking about the commission money. But he didn't say anything. Brother Yi always had his reasons for his decision. Maybe it was a good thing not to take the money.

Nanajo Masato slammed the table and said angrily, "What a joke! I can accept not going to the consortium to help, but you won't help me with this? My family members are already lying in the hospital, and even I may be killed. Even so, you still watch them die without helping? I still regard you as a friend!"

Qian Xiaoyi was unmoved: "Believe me, even if Ajian sacrifices himself, your current situation will not be much better. The only way is to leave the consortium and cut off the connection with your relatives. That is your only way to save yourself."

"It's unreasonable! It's really unreasonable!" This time, Nanajo Masato was really furious.

"Besides... it's not easy to get Ajian to sacrifice for you willingly." Qian Xiaoyi said, "If you want to take him away by force and force him to bear the curse, Ajian may be contaminated by negative emotions and turn into a vengeful spirit, so how can you convince him? He is my employee after all, I can't agree to this, please go back."

"I will definitely get him." Nanajo Masato's eyes became extremely cold. He left the office angrily and slammed the door shut.

After Nanajo Masato left, Jian came out of the jade pendant. He wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and said, "How terrible... It seems that my beautiful body is indeed coveted by the world. I am really a man with a deep sinful mind. But even if they get my perfect body, they can't get my pure heart. There is only one person I love, and I will never give in!"
