"Nothing, I just wanted to see if you have any cooler clothes."

Miwako Aso closed Roy's closet as if nothing had happened and walked away.

Kitchen, living room, guest room, study, balcony, Aso Miwako passed through these places one by one, but didn't find what she was looking for. Finally, she turned her eyes to the bathroom.

"Little Roy, can I use your toilet?"

"Um, I just finished taking a shower in the bathroom and it's a bit stuffy. Why don't you go later, Sister Aso?"

Seeing Roy's somewhat unnatural expression, Miwako Aso curled up a smile and said, "I finally caught your fox tail."

"It's okay. I don't mind."

After saying that, Miwako Aso opened the bathroom door directly. When she opened the door, there was indeed a gust of hot air blowing in her face, but at a glance, the bathtub was empty as well and there was no one there. Hmm, did I guess wrong?

Miwako Aso showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes and turned around to close the door.

"Ms. Aso, do you go to the bathroom so quickly?"

"The bathroom is still a little too stuffy, just like you said. I'll go in later. By the way, I have something to tell you after you finish eating."

"Well, I'm done eating, Sister Aso, let's go to the study and talk. I just bought the storage box you suggested to me last time. Sister Aso, can you help me take a look?"

With the disappearance of footsteps and the sound of doors closing, the living room returned to silence. At this moment, the bathroom door suddenly opened quietly, and a snow-white figure came out silently, ran quickly and silently through the living room, opened the door carefully and closed it silently, and did not relax until the figure came outside the door.

Patting his chest, Xue No Shen Dong breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had a sudden inspiration and stuck himself in the blind corner of the bathroom door frame, otherwise he would have been discovered.

However, it seems that the relationship between the landlady and Roy is not just that of landlord and tenant. They look like mother and son in attitude, like siblings in addressing each other, like lovers in relationship, and like father and daughter. It is really strange. But no matter what, I have decided on Roy in this life. No matter what happens between Roy and the landlady, I will never give up on Roy.

When Yukino left the room in the middle of winter, Aso Miwako happened to mention her in the study.

"Do you know Mrs. Yukino who lives next door to Little Roy?"

Roy's heart trembled when he heard the name Yukino, but he controlled his facial expression very well and did not show any abnormality.

"Yes, you mentioned last time that she hasn't paid the rent for several months."

"I talked to her yesterday. I suggested that she work as your housekeeper to help me take care of you for a monthly salary of 300,000 yuan. She was tempted but had some doubts and didn't agree on the spot. I'll ask her later what you think."

So that's how it is. So Mrs. Yukino came to see him last night because of this matter.

"I have no problem. I will listen to Sister Aso in everything. Sister Aso must be doing it for my own good. I recently negotiated a small business deal. The money is not a problem. It is enough to support Sister Aso and me for several lifetimes."

When Aso Miwako heard Roy's words, the softest part of her heart was touched, but her expression remained serious.

"What do you mean by several lifetimes? We are just the landlord and tenant. We have a good relationship at best. Don't talk nonsense outside."

"Okay, okay, Aso-san and I are just tenant and landlord. How about this: I'll pay 2 million yen to rent a house from Aso-san for the rest of her life."

After Roy finished speaking, he took out a bank card with 5 million yen and handed it to Miwako Aso.

"Sister Aso gives it to you. The password is your birthday, Sister Aso. I will depend on you for the rest of my life."

When she saw the black bank card that Roy handed to her, Miwako Aso recognized that it was a black card issued by Eastern Union Bank, which only accepts savings of 100 million yen. She was frightened and kept refusing.

"No, Roy, this is too expensive! This money is enough to buy this apartment. Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money?"

"Run away, how could Sister Aso run away? I have paid the betrothal gift and the rent for life, how could Sister Aso run away? Besides, in my eyes, Sister Aso's trust in me is worth more than a few hundred million yen."

Miwako Aso was both happy and shy when she heard what Roy said. She was happy because she had not expected that her status in Roy's heart was so high (hundreds of millions of yen), and she was shy because she could tell that Roy was not paying rent but a betrothal gift, and he had even let it slip himself.

"Hmph, I can't argue with you. Leave the money with me for now. It's not rent, but I'll keep it for you to prevent you from being cheated by other bad women. Okay, okay, I won't stay here with you anymore. It's time for me to go find Yukino and talk to her about work."

"Snapped."

After Miwako Aso closed the door, the smile on her face gradually disappeared. She leaned against the wall of the corridor with her hands behind her back and sighed helplessly.

I really can't let this little bastard Roy take advantage of me. He gave me hundreds of millions of yen without blinking an eye, and still said those sweet words. I couldn't get angry at all.

Forget it, just forgive him for cheating this time. It was only a matter of time anyway. I was originally planning to find someone to share the burden.

But, hum, sister Yukino, I didn't expect that you were not only moved yesterday, but also went straight to bed. I must have a nice talk with you later.

As she spoke, Miwako Aso took something out of her pocket, looked at it in front of her eyes, and then put it back into her pocket.

What was put into the pocket was a long snow-white hair.

Chapter 22. Bad News: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net

It has been more than a week since Yukino Fuyuki agreed to work for Aso Miwako.

Roy also initially adapted to getting along with Mrs. Yukino. During this period, a lot of things happened when Mrs. Yukino came to take care of him, such as wearing a maid outfit and an L-neck apron. Roy said that he could not control himself at all.

But what made Roy feel a little strange was that things had changed on Aso-san's side ever since Mrs. Yukino came to work as his housekeeper.

For some reason, Sister Aso always seemed to be avoiding him before, and would only come to his house once a day at most. But now it is different. She comes three or four times a day without any problem, and she no longer comes to collect rent once every two or three days like before. Now, Sister Aso will not refuse him if he wants something.

One thing that made Roy feel a little strange was that Sister Aso and Mrs. Yukino were almost never present at the same time. They seemed to have a tacit understanding that one would not come to the door while the other was away. Roy suspected that there was some kind of connection between them. The evidence was that one of them would often leave and within a few minutes the other would come knocking on his door. It was a seamless connection.

Roy also tried to ask Mrs. Yukino and Sister Aso indirectly, but unfortunately he didn't get any clues. In response to Roy's questions, both Mrs. Yukino and Sister Aso either smiled and said nothing or directly changed the subject. If all else failed, they would use the beauty trap to block Roy's mouth with their bodies.

Unfortunately, the Holy Son Luo of the Female-Respected World rejected the request of Roy of the Li Fan World because, as the Holy Son of the Yangju Sect (the isomorph of the Yinkui Sect), he had access to many techniques. Unfortunately, due to the particularity of his main technique, the Heavenly Demon Technique, his master Shi Zhixuan, the leader of the Yangju Sect, had ordered that no dual cultivation techniques should appear in front of him.

Moreover, according to the Holy Son Roy, their Yangju Sect belongs to the Demonic Sect. Most of the dual cultivation techniques of the Demonic Sect in their world are techniques of replenishing Yin with Yang. That is because of the special nature of their sect, which is mainly for males, there are several techniques of replenishing Yang with Yin. However, he cannot see these techniques, and even if he sees them, Roy in the Fan World probably won't be able to use them.

What Roy wanted was a proper dual cultivation method like the one in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine.

With faint dark circles under his eyes, Roy was typing passionately in front of the computer. This was his way of making up for the debt he owed some time ago.

In the past week, Roy was addicted to the dress-up game of Aso Miwako and Yukino Shinto. Roy, who was exhausted in the game, naturally had no time to do typing work. The task would not disappear but would only be transferred, so Roy's typing task this week was very heavy. Fortunately, the happy time in the previous week made Roy full of inspiration and his literary talent was like diabetes insipidus. In addition, his physique was strengthened. Roy's current typing speed can be called a tentacle monster. Five or six thousand words an hour is not a problem.

After a flurry of keyboard typing, Roy finally coded the heroine's love story, which had been giving him a headache before, in one go.

It turns out that some things can only be written with true feelings after one has personally experienced them. Things that are imagined out of thin air will always lack the flavor and feel less real.

Save and archive. Today's coding task is done. It's time to do something else.

"Ding ding stare."

When Roy closed his computer, his cell phone rang.

"Hello, it's me. I see. I'll pay attention and remind them. Okay, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Roy rubbed his eyebrows and looked a little troubled.

The call just now was from his good friend Kosuke Kitahara, who was calling with news about the group of people who were targeting the patent.

After the two major consortiums confirmed the authenticity of the patent and the extremely broad financial prospects, the two behemoths entrenched in District 11 began to slowly expand their bodies that covered the sky and prepared to crush all enemies that stood in the way of their feasting: businessmen, police, politicians, yakuza, gangsters, both the underworld and the white world were mobilized under the power of the consortium.

The group of people who were eyeing the patent were quickly found out. They were a group of emerging interest groups that relied on the Internet. After they achieved success on the Internet as upstarts in the financial market, they turned their attention to other lucrative industries such as real estate, medicine and other industries.

While extending their tentacles to collect intelligence, they discovered the treasure in Akizuki Takashi's hands through their extraordinary information gathering abilities. As a group of street lamp kings of the new era, they naturally knew the value of what was in Akizuki Takashi's hands. As long as they could get it, with this thing they would definitely be able to break the monopoly of the leading pharmaceutical company in District 11 and expand their sphere of influence into the pharmaceutical industry.

Unfortunately, the people they sent out messed up everything. People who use backdoors to recruit relatives and fools who act on their own can be found in every force. The only difference is that there are more old ones and fewer new ones. But when a fool who acts on his own is recruited through the backdoor and is asked to handle an important matter, things are bound to change in an uncontrollable direction.

Shido Koji, the son of Tokyo City Councillor Shido and the younger brother of Shido Koichi, one of the new internet elites in District 11, is undoubtedly a greedy and arrogant fool. Ninety-nine percent of the billions of yen in patent purchase fees were eaten up by him. He wanted to buy a medical patent with a commercial value of hundreds of billions of dollars for just tens of millions of yen. This is not the way to rob money.

When he found out that Akizuki Kozo did not obediently accept his "good intentions" and offer both the person and the patent to him, but instead wanted to sell the patent to a hostile interest group, in order to avoid being discovered that he had eaten up the funds, Shido Koji ordered people to kill Akizuki Kozo without hesitation. This time he did not intend to give money, he wanted to rob him openly, and he even planned how to deal with Akizuki and the other two.

Unfortunately, his plan was disrupted by Roy who suddenly appeared. Shido Koji never thought that a poor student would be involved with the consortium, so when he was still waiting for his men to borrow the patent from Roy, what he got was a large group of people in black suits who came to arrest him.

Next, the two major consortiums pried out intelligence from Shido Koji, and following the clue of the Shido family, they investigated the plans of this group of upstarts. After the investigation, the consortiums found that this group of upstarts had a big appetite and were ready to bite off a large share in real estate, medical care, transportation, etc., and were also ready to join forces with foreign capital to besiege the old forces.

This investigation was terrible. The ungrateful wolf raised in the house was ready to join forces with the jackals, tigers and leopards outside the house to bite the owner. This was possible. The Kitahara and Suzuki Groups, which were originally preparing to take direct action against the people behind the scenes, stopped their actions and then passed the news to several other major groups in District 11. Although they didn't want the other to die and go bankrupt immediately, they were natural allies when facing attacks from emerging interest groups.

After each of them verified the accuracy of the news, the upper-level giants in District 11 prepared to join forces to kill the monkey and offer sacrifice to the chicken, and have a good meal at the same time.

Facts have proved that the weapon of criticism is no match for the criticism of weapons. The upstarts who call the shots on the Internet are still too naive when facing the consortium that controls the food, clothing, housing and transportation of millions of people.

When the top leaders are in agreement, business wars do not require any fancy operations such as intrigue and strategizing. Water and electricity will be cut off, employees will collectively quit their jobs, and families will be in turmoil. The consortium may not understand what the Internet is better than them, but it understands human nature better than them. High-end business wars only require simple means.

In just a few weeks, the company founded by these nouveau riche who were ready to overthrow the powerful became someone else's property, while no news was revealed in public opinion and the government was also not unusual. The consortium and politicians are two sides of the same coin in District 11.

In fact, these upstarts are not without opportunities to fight hard, such as holding a press conference or something, but the honest rich men refused to do so and had to jump around. The consortium is not someone who is easy to talk to, and they can arrange to pour cement and sink it into Tokyo Bay.

Among them, the Shido family was pulled out to give a good demonstration. Just as Shido Koichi was about to hold a press conference, he "unfortunately died of illness" in an accident. Then the city councilor Shido was also exposed for taking bribes, sheltering gangsters and other black materials, and was sent to prison on an expedited basis.

With the example of the Zi Teng family in front of them, everyone else just waited quietly to be slaughtered and didn't dare to make any unnecessary moves.

At this moment they understood that the reason why the consortium is a consortium is not just because they have money and know how to do business.

However, when the consortium was dividing the bodies of the upstarts, an accident occurred. A guy named Shido Koji ran away and his whereabouts are unknown.

This is also the reason why Kosuke Kitahara called Roy and asked him to be careful to prevent him and the group of people around him from being attacked.

Roy thought about it and took out his cell phone to call Akizuki Kayoko. However, he did not tell her the exact news. He just told Akizuki Kayoko that there was a criminal who had a grudge against Akizuki Kozo wandering around outside, and asked the three of them to be careful and try to find a safe place to live during this period if possible.

After getting a positive reply, Roy hung up the phone. This was all he could do for them. It was impossible for him to stay with her day and night.

At the same time, not far from Akizuki's house, a pair of resentful eyes were staring at Akizuki Huayoko who was on the phone.

"Just wait, you damn woman. At night I'll take care of your whole family and that kid named Roy. Once I get rid of them, it will be your turn."

Chapter 23: Roy's unexpected neighbor

"Mom, who is calling so early? Is it the moving company?"

Akizuki Airi asked Akizuki Kayoko curiously while packing her pink suitcase.

"It's not the moving company, but Roy called and told us to be careful recently..."

Akizuki Kayoko's face was relatively calm. If she had known the news a few days ago, she would definitely not have acted so calm. Ever since she stayed in the Metropolitan Police Department for a few days, she has had a serious lack of security. She is often suspicious at home and always suspects that someone is hiding in her house.

She would only feel a little better when there were many people around, and she dared not step out of the door at night. As long as it got a little dark, she would lock the door early and stay in a room with her two daughters.

Not only Kayoko Akizuki shows this lack of security, but also Airi Akizuki and Marina Akizuki show this lack of security, and Airi Akizuki's symptoms are the most serious.

Now she can only fall asleep peacefully in the company of her sister or mother, and she cannot leave in the middle of the night because if she leaves, she will definitely wake up from a nightmare. In Ellie's own words, she will only feel safe and secure when her sister and mother are by her side.

Regarding the symptoms of herself and her daughter, Akizuki Kayoko also consulted a psychologist online. This is a common symptom of severe stimulation or excessive shock. If you want to alleviate it, you can first rely on time to slowly forget it, secondly, find someone or something that makes you feel safe to stay together, and thirdly, do long-term psychological counseling.

Faced with these three choices, Akizuki Hanayoko silently chose option 2. The first option would have too much of an impact on her two daughters who were entering high school and would affect their grades, while the third option would cost too much for them.

Long-term and regular psychological counseling is no less than the cost of the several tutoring classes that Marina and Airi have signed up for now. Although they are relatively wealthy now thanks to the part of Akizuki Kozo's inheritance that Roy got, this savings must at least cover the living expenses of the three mothers and daughters for the next seven years and cannot be spent at will.

So Kayoko Akizuki could only choose the second option, to find someone or a place that could make her feel safe. At this time, there was only one person who could make the three of them feel at ease, and that was Uesugi Roy, who freed them from their fear. When Kayoko Akizuki tentatively suggested moving next door to Roy, she received unanimous approval. When Kayoko saw the impatient expressions on Airi and Marina's faces, she knew that they had decided to move into this house.

The day before yesterday, Kayoko Akizuki found the landlord, Miss Aso Miwako, and talked to her about renting a house. But what made Kayoko a little strange was that the young Miss Miwako didn't want to rent the house to them at first. Later, after learning about their mother and daughter's situation, she agreed to the rental contract as if she had made some huge sacrifice, which was very confusing.

Today is actually the day their family is moving, so when Roy called her today, Akizuki Kayoko didn't seem panicked at all. She was going to move to Roy soon, so she wasn't worried about this problem.

However, there is no need to worry about safety issues. When Kayoko Akizuki saw Akizuki Airi who became excited when Roy was mentioned, and Akizuki Marina who seemed to be unconcerned and didn't even notice that she held the book upside down, she felt that she might need to consider whether her two daughters would become enemies because of a man in the future.

Maybe if I made Roy their stepfather, I could avoid the problems between the two of them?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, it was suppressed deep into Akizuki Kayoko's mind the next second. What was she thinking? She was the stepmother of Roy's child, and there was such a big age difference between her and him that it was not appropriate. Besides, she was almost thirty years old now, and she was old and not as pretty as a young girl.

Kayoko Akizuki used a series of denials to deny this idea which could be described as incest, but she herself did not realize that although she kept denying it, none of the reasons she used was that she did not like Roy.

In fact, deep down, Kayoko Akizuki already had an indelible impression of Roy, just like Airi Akizuki and Marina Akizuki. She didn't realize it only because she subconsciously denied it for some reason in her heart.

"Okay, Ellie, stop being so nosy. Hurry up and pack your things. We are moving next door to Roy-kun today and we will be his neighbors. If you move quickly, you might even be able to invite Roy-kun to dinner."

"I'll pack it up right away*2."

After eating the loving lunch prepared by Mrs. Yukino, Roy, who was full and satisfied, decided to make good use of his free time to catch up on some sleep. He had dark circles under his eyes from staying up late and having sex in recent days. He finally had the chance to show off his good looks again, so he had to learn to cherish them. He was tired of being treated mediocrely.

"Hmm, what's the noise? Is there a new tenant moving in? Oh, Aso-san didn't tell me about this. I have to go check it out. As the second-in-command of the apartment, I have to assess who the new tenant is. I can't let a yellow-haired guy move in. This is the world of anime where you can only judge a person by his appearance."

Roy, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the noise of moving downstairs and next door. After listening to the noise and figuring out what was going on, Roy quickly got dressed and got out of bed. In his mind, this apartment had almost become Roy's, and anyone who wanted to move in would have to go through him.

Let me think about it. Well, first of all, male students cannot be recruited. Male students are full of vigor and vitality, and they will definitely not be able to resist a woman as beautiful as Sister Aso, so they will just pass them by. Then, office workers, this place is a bit far from the main traffic artery.

So those who live here are definitely not serious office workers but very likely creeps. Then, handsome guys cannot be hired. Pretty boys who live here must have evil intentions. They are either after money or sex, so we will just pass them by as soon as we see them. Lastly, ugly guys cannot be hired as they will lower the overall appearance of the apartment. Secondly, just looking at them will affect your mood.

Well, that's enough for me to explain to Sister Aso. Now let me see who is so tactless to move in. Watch how I, Roy, make you go back and forth.

As soon as Roy went out, he saw Akizuki Kayoko, whom he had called to remind him this morning, standing at the door next to him. Also coming in and out of the room were Akizuki Marina and Akizuki Airi.

"Aunt Kayoko, Sister Marina, please be gentle when bumping into Sister Airi. Why are you here?"

Kayoko Akizuki pulled Akizuki Airi off Roy's body without leaving any trace and pulled her behind him, then she stopped Airi and Marina and got herself in front of Roy.

"Didn't Roy tell me this morning that I felt a little unsafe recently? To be on the safe side, I had no choice but to move here to be with you. Now in Tokyo, you are the only person my mother and I can trust."

Roy naturally didn't know that Akizuki Kayoko had made preparations a few days in advance. He really thought that he had called Kayoko in the morning to remind her, but before noon the whole family moved in to be his neighbors. This efficiency really made Roy ashamed.

At the same time, he forgot all the speeches he had prepared to talk to Sister Aso. How could a generous and hospitable person like me, Roy, drive away my neighbor, especially when he was an acquaintance.

Roy fell asleep after that. As a boy, how could he sit and watch a girl work so hard to move things, especially his stepmother, stepsister and stepsister, so Roy took the initiative to take over the task of moving furniture.

With his strong physique, Roy completed the work that would have taken half a day in just a few hours. He not only moved the furniture in, but also cleaned the place.

While Roy was working hard, Qiuyue and the other two girls were not idle either. They took turns wiping Roy's sweat, handing him water and fanning him. I don't know why the three girls always liked to wipe Roy's abdominal muscles and pectoral muscles. Although his body was sweaty, it didn't affect his work. Isn't it enough to just wipe the sweat on his face?
