The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 627: The Bizarre Adventure of Shichijo Masato Part 2 ()

"Okay, no more jokes." Shichijo Masato waved his hand and said, "I haven't degenerated to the point of begging for money from friends like a beggar. I just need a place to live temporarily. Once I find a job, I won't have to bother you anymore."

Qian Xiaoyi said curiously: "It seems that you are in a good mood. I thought you would be depressed after something like this happened."

Nanajo Masato shook his head. "If I were to say I was shocked, I was definitely a little shocked. After all, I myself could not have imagined that even though I had awakened Grandpa, the situation would turn out like this... But even so, compared to the real life threat you faced from the Hundred Ghosts, my situation is much better. At least now there won't be a madman who suddenly appears and wants to kill me. After seeing what happened to Miss Fushigi and how you were injured, I understand a lot."

"Ah, speaking of this..." Qian Xiaoyi asked, "How are the Fumu couple doing now?"

Inuyama Heita also pricked up his ears. He had a pretty good impression of Miss Fushiki Yoko, and he didn't want anything to happen to her.

"Ms. Yoko is out of danger for the time being." Nanajo Masato said, "But... she doesn't seem to have woken up yet and is still in a coma. Mr. Fushigi is a bit impatient and doesn't want to talk to me at all."

"Of course, but her situation... is it the demon sword?" Qian Xiaoyi frowned, recalling the situation at that time: "She should have been hit... So, now you not only owe me the commission fee, but also owe that Mr. Fuki a large commission fee and work injury compensation?"

Nanajo Masato's expression immediately became awkward: "This... there is nothing we can do about it, right? I didn't know it would be like this. Even if the police arrest me now and sue me in court, I have nothing to pay back."

"What a useless guy~" Qian Xiaoyi said with disdain, but just like what Qijo Masato said, even if he asked him for the debt now, he couldn't get it, and he probably wouldn't get much if he sold it. So he asked: "So what are you going to do next?"

"Anyway, find a job first." Nanajo Masato said confidently, "Although I came back before completing my master's degree because of family matters, I have studied at a prestigious business school abroad. I believe it should be no problem to find a well-paid job in another company... Now that I'm out of the company, I feel much more at ease. I don't have to worry about those petty internal struggles. I'm free and at ease, just like when I was studying abroad. I feel an inexplicable sense of relief."

"Speaking of work, what major did you study?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

Masato Nanajo said proudly: "I obtained a double degree in finance and management during my study abroad. I believe it will not be difficult to find an ideal job."

Qian Xiaoyi had a strange expression on his face, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Then I wish you good luck."

He paused, then asked, "What about the consortium? What do you think about this?"

Nanajo Masato put away his smile, touched his chin and said, "My grandfather's behavior is very abnormal, which undoubtedly shows that there is a huge danger hidden inside the Nanajo Foundation. That's why my grandfather did this the first time he woke up. Your previous advice to me was correct. Only by getting out of it can we see more clearly. I was too narrow-minded before... I plan to take some time to observe the movements within the foundation after my work stabilizes, and then make a decision."

"Finally you've learned your lesson~" Qian Xiaoyi said with a smile: "If it were before, you would probably rush over and question me again, right?"

"My grandfather's behavior shattered my last fantasy..." Nanajo Masato sighed, "It seems that our Nanajo family must be related to Baigui, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. Whether grandpa was coerced or for some other reason, I can no longer excuse the consortium... Well, let's not talk about this for now. There's no point in rushing about this kind of thing. But has the crisis been resolved on your side?" Qian Xiaoyi knew that he was talking about Baigui's revenge, so Qian Xiaoyi replied, "For now, although it's not a complete victory, at least the blue ghost has been dealt with, and the enemy has also revealed his true colors. The next step is to find out their identities. Those people are definitely not a small organization, and their identities are not a secret. I believe they can be found out soon."

Nanajo Masato nodded: "In other words, before the war, we will have a period of stability?"

"That's probably it." Qian Xiaoyi said, "The members of Baigui are a bunch of guys who don't do anything without profit. I guess no one is willing to avenge their companions' sacrifice. In this incident, we exorcists proved our strength and prevented the losses from continuing to increase. We also united the exorcists. Faced with this situation, most enemies should choose to lie dormant, but those guys who were hooked by us will not be so easy to hide."

"That's good." Nanajo Masato said, "I am indeed a little tired during this period. If some more messy things come, I don't know if I can hold on."

At this time, the TV began to broadcast news about the typhoon.

"...Recently, due to the impact of the typhoon disaster, more than ten people have died in the Kanto region..."

Nanajo Masato's attention was drawn to the news, and he asked, "Are all these dead... enemies?"

"Maybe~" Qian Xiaoyi shrugged: "If this plan fails, then we exorcists may be one of these 'victims'."

Thinking of Miss Fushiki Yoko who was still unconscious in the hospital, Nanajo Masato's expression suddenly became much more solemn. This news made him realize once again what kind of terrifying enemy they were facing and what terrible consequences they would suffer if they failed.

"Can we... really win?" asked Nanajo Masato worriedly.

Qian Xiaoyi glanced at him and said, "If I say we can definitely win, you will definitely not believe it. But... even if we can't win, can we just surrender? I can only say that we have a chance to win. Whether we can seize these opportunities is the key to our victory... Ah, maybe this has nothing to do with you. Since you have been kicked out of the consortium by your grandfather, if you behave like an ordinary person, maybe the other party will let you go..."

"What a joke!" Nanajo Masato's anger was ignited, he gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what role our Nanajo family played in this, one thing is certain, that is, our family was used! The consortium became the enemy's nourishment, and they even didn't let go of my relatives! My eldest brother is an example, so... I won't give in like this! I will definitely teach those hateful guys a lesson!"

"You're very motivated~ But you should find a proper job first before talking about Prince's Revenge." Qian Xiaoyi patted his shoulder and said, "Let me make it clear first, there are only sofas or floors for you to sleep on in the office, and there are ghosts at night, I hope you can get used to it."

Nanajo Masato, who faintly heard the sounds of some wild beasts and the laughter of children, began to twitch his mouth. Generally speaking, it is normal for an exorcist to have ghosts in his home, right?
