Iruma leaned gently against the window, his gaze fixed on the Kyogoku-ya across the street.

"May I ask, young master?" Li Xia was completely bewildered by the other party's mysterious behavior.

I really don't understand why they were so startled and suddenly running around.

Iruma replied calmly, "What are the names of the two children next to you?"

The two little ones looked at him innocently, and Li Xia answered for them, "Because they won't be using their original names here, I named them Momoka and Karin."

"Momoka is the older sister, and Karin is the younger sister."

Unlike her older sister, Momoka's eyes are divided in two, with two semi-circular black pupils.

The younger sister has normal eyes, but even at such a young age, she already has rouge on her eyes.

Iruma nodded, then turned to the three of them: "Although I'm not really interested in this kind of thing, you may or may not need to thank me."

"I'm grateful that so many people have disappeared here, and that I'm still alive."

Upon hearing this, all three were frightened. The number of people disappearing from Youguo Street recently had been increasing, and many people were beginning to feel uneasy.

"What do you mean, young master?"

Iruma looked calmly at her and the two little ones: "The three of you, I'll buy them."

"Is it three hundred million?"

"Huh?" Koi Xia was stunned, and the two little ones were stunned too.

They never imagined that someone would redeem them, let alone be willing to pay such a high price.

The two children looked on in disbelief and asked excitedly, "Is it true, young master?"

"of course."

"So, will we be following you from now on?"

"Yes, that's about right. I'll let you live the life of normal children."

"Oh! Thank you so much!" The two children followed suit and knelt down to express their gratitude.

Iruma smiled calmly: "No need for thanks, please hand over that madam."

Upon receiving the order, the two little ones ran downstairs excitedly, especially when they learned that they no longer had to stay in this awful place.

"Why are you going to such lengths?" Li Xia wasn't stupid and was deeply suspicious.

"Don't doubt my ulterior motives. This amount of money is nothing to me. I'm giving you your freedom, but in return, I need you to do something for me during this time."

"What's wrong?" Li Xia was somewhat relieved this time. If it was just about handing over money, then there was definitely something worse going on.

"...Kyogoku-ya, that courtesan, Warabi-hime, right?"

"Hey, that's right."

"While ensuring your own safety, inquire about her affairs and whereabouts. Remember, never be discovered."

Iruma stopped talking at this point, simply drinking his tea. The madam who had rushed over didn't know what was going on, and simply knelt respectfully before him.

"May I ask what your orders are, young master?"

Iruma glanced at her, his voice icy: "How much for the three of them?"

"Eh?"

I asked, "How much can I buy it for?"

Faced with Iruma's extremely imposing question, the madam did not dare to hesitate and quickly replied, "Please wait a moment, this matter must be calculated by the boss himself."

"Okay, then hurry up and call him up. I don't like waiting."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll take care of it right away." The madam ran downstairs like a shot and quickly went to her husband's room.

"Hurry up and come upstairs with me." She picked up the abacus, grabbed the other person, and walked out.

The boss looked puzzled: "What are you doing?"

The madam whispered, "That young master of the Genji family wants to buy Koika and those two little ones. I said you need to go there in person to settle the accounts, so don't come up with any stupid ideas later."

After listening, the boss immediately understood what the other party meant: they wanted to take advantage of the situation.

And they rip you off badly, because you might not encounter such a sucker in your lifetime.

The redemption of the courtesan will indeed have a temporary impact, but if she can make a fortune from it, what does it matter?

Soon the two went upstairs, and the boss quickly used the abacus in front of Iruma, the clattering sound of the abacus sounding particularly pleasant at this moment.

This isn't about counting numbers; it's about striking gold!

How about exchanging Chapter 497 for gold?

After a moment, the innkeeper, feigning concern, said, "Food, clothing, lodging, transportation, outstanding fees, plus ransom, all these expenses combined amount to six..."

Six hundred million yuan, you see."

To be honest, even he himself found it hard to say such an absurd amount.

If word gets out that such an outrageous price is being asked, it could cause a lot of trouble.

The two looked at Iruma cautiously, while the three people beside them, including Koika, were completely bewildered.

It's unbelievable that the boss would quote such an absurd amount.

She was also wondering whether she should tell Iruma the inside story.

"Six hundred million?" Iruma slowly turned his head, his voice exceptionally cold.

"That's right." Faced with this extreme sense of oppression, the boss began to feel fear, wondering if he had angered the other party.

"I'll give you a billion."

"I'm so grateful!"

The boss and the madam looked up, their expressions utterly astonished and filled with disbelief.

They thought their offer was outrageous enough, but to their surprise, the buyer actually raised the price themselves!

This isn't just a windfall; it's like the God of Wealth has come knocking on your door!

Li Xia and the other two were completely dumbfounded, their expressions increasingly comical and absurd.

That's a whopping 50 million RMB!

Iruma 237 tapped the table lightly and continued, "But I have a request."

"It's alright, it's alright. Please feel free to ask if you need anything!"

The boss dared not refuse at all, and was even afraid that the other party would not make any requests, otherwise he would feel guilty.

"Tomorrow, the Genji clan will send someone. Instead of giving you 1 billion yen, I will give you 200 catties of gold directly."

"is that OK?"

"Huh—?" The boss and the madam immediately knelt down. This wasn't just a god of wealth, this was their second parents!

What does 200 jin (100 kg) of gold mean?!

Even if their store's annual turnover were only enough to buy less than 100 kilograms of food.

Now that they suddenly have an extra 200 jin of gold, they don't care if they close their shop for two or three years.

Iruma took a sip of tea: "After that, these three people should stay quietly in your office and be well taken care of. I will personally take them away after a while, understand?"

"understand!"

"Please feel free to give me your orders, young master!"

"I am willing to dedicate myself to serving you with all my heart."

“Very good, I like obedient people.” Iruma placed a gold token in front of him: “Consider this a deposit, and the gold will be delivered to your door tomorrow.”

"Yes! Thank you so much for your great kindness, young master!" The shopkeeper held the token with both hands and carefully put it away.

Iruma continued to give instructions: "From now on, Koika, the courtesan, will not receive anyone, and a letter will be sent out a week later saying that she will be leaving the pleasure quarters."

"do you understand?"

Although he didn't know what Iruma's intentions were, the boss didn't care. He just wanted to get paid and get things done, so he quickly agreed.

After the two left, Iruma quietly ate the food that was served, including ramen, oden, and yakitori.

The three people sitting next to him are still in shock.

To be able to buy it with two hundred pounds of gold, that requires immense power and wealth!

"You've gone to too much trouble, Young Master." Li Xia felt grateful but also full of doubt.

"There's no need for that. I was just using you as bait, so this is just compensation for you."

"Bait?"

“That’s right, bait. Too many people have been disappearing from this street recently, and the disappearances are too bizarre. I came here to investigate after receiving the letter.”

"Is there some kind of serial killer or human trafficker?" Li Xia asked, her face full of worry.
