Chapter 106 Shutoku Mai

While Cheng Sui was still playing a shooting game with Erii.

Takashimaya Times Square welcomed a special guest.

The moment she appeared, it was as if a queen had descended upon her territory, surveying every luxury store that had its doors open to her.

"Wrap up all of these, these, and those in the shop window."

She pointed casually, her voice cold yet carrying an undeniable air of command.

The shop assistants bowed respectfully, not daring to look directly at her stunning beauty.

She only left them an address.

"Deliver it here."

After saying that, she turned and left, her demeanor elegant yet resolute, as if the millions of yen she had just spent were nothing more than a few coins in her pocket.

The crowds in the mall silently parted to create a path for her.

The men's gazes were firmly drawn to her, fixed on her long, slender legs, barely visible beneath her black, high-slit pencil skirt, swaying with every step she took.

She had a very high ponytail tied behind her head, as black as ink, which swung sharply with her steps, revealing a section of her fair and slender nape.

Several men who considered themselves extraordinary mustered up their courage and stepped forward to try and strike up a conversation.

But as soon as they got close, they were swept over by her icy gaze, and all their carefully prepared words froze in their throats, forcing them to retreat in a sorry state.

And so, under their watchful eyes, Mai Shude walked away with an air of nonchalance, her figure likely to appear in the dreams of these men countless times.

At this moment, Mai Shude is standing on the edge of the observation deck on the top floor of the shopping mall.

She leaned against the cold metal railing, the wind blowing a few strands of hair across her forehead.

She held a glass of red wine, the crystal-clear red liquid swirling gently in the glass, reflecting the bustling street scene of Tokyo below.

Her gaze did not linger on the scenery, but rather, through a pair of high-powered binoculars, she precisely locked onto the bustling crowd.

In the video, a boy is holding a girl's hand tightly as they nimbly weave through the crowd.

Not far behind them, several men in black suits were slowly closing in, their movements professional and deadly, like a pack of cheetahs hunting an antelope.

"Long legs, long legs, how's the signal?"

A slightly languid female voice came through the headset, accompanied by a soft "click" sound, indicating that the person was enjoying a snack.

"I told you to stick close to the target, how could you let him get away so easily?"

Mai Shude did not answer immediately; instead, she stretched out in an extremely relaxed manner.

The curves of her body were accentuated to the extreme by the tight dress, a sight that would make any man present's blood boil.

She took a sip of red wine, savoring the slight astringency of the tannins on her tongue.

"Potato Chips, I'm warning you, a clerical worker sitting in an office typing on a keyboard, don't try to boss us frontline combatants who are making a living in a hail of bullets, okay?"

Her voice carried a hint of resentment.

"I was in Paris this morning, just after watching Dior's Fall/Winter Haute Couture show, and my boss made a phone call and dragged me from the Champs-Élysées to here."

"I haven't even adjusted to the time difference yet."

"So, this is your reason for rushing into Takashimaya the moment you landed, spending a full three hours there, and making millions of dollars vanish from my account?"

Su Enxi's voice suddenly rose in pitch on the other end of the headset, and the sound of her chewing potato chips became fierce, as if she were chewing on the flesh and blood of Shude Mai.

"Oh, my dear potato chips."

Jiu Demai chuckled lightly, deftly changing the subject.

"A few million US dollars is nothing to you; it's just a matter of lifting a finger and reaping profits from the stock market."

She raised the binoculars again, pointing the lens at the boy.

"Let's get down to business. What does the boss mean by suddenly assigning us to monitor this boy?"

Cheng Sui's profile was clearly visible through the telescope's field of view.

"Hmm—she's fairly good-looking, but not stunningly beautiful."

Mai Shude was making her own comments.

"However, the way he pulled that girl away from the men in black was quite cool, with a kind of fugitive vibe."

She slightly moved the camera, switching the view to the girl being protected behind Cheng Sui.

The girl, wearing a somewhat outdated dress, followed timidly behind the boy, like a startled fawn.

Mai nodded.

"She's a pretty girl, but this outfit is so tacky. What tasteless country bumpkin picked this out for her? It has no style at all."

"Long legs, just shut up!"

Su Enxi's voice was filled with a sense of madness.

"The boss was so angry about this that he was about to flip the table."

Mai Shude raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly.

"Why is the boss angry?"

"He's been busy paving the way to the throne for our dear protagonist lately, and that's where the problem lies."

Su Enxi sighed heavily, her voice full of distress.

"That plain-looking pretty girl you mentioned is the bride the boss has arranged for Lu Zhu, the future leading lady," said Mai Shude, raising an eyebrow.

"Now that the bride has been snatched away by someone else, do you think the boss, with his controlling personality, wouldn't be angry?" Su Enxi's voice revealed helplessness.

Mai Shude paused for a moment.

She looked at Cheng Sui through the binoculars again.

"So, this boy is the one who suddenly appeared and tried to steal the bride. Hmm—it makes the whole scene even cooler," she commented with interest.

"No matter how you look at it, Cheng Sui is much more charming than our Lu Shenren who's still flirting with artsy high school girls."

"Isn't Lu Shenren still completely infatuated with that literary girl who exudes the scent of a green tea b*tch?"

A brief silence fell over the earpiece, with only Su Enxi's heavy breathing audible.

"Long legs".

Su Enxi's voice drifted over softly.

"Have I ever told you that your mouth is more venomous than your knife?"

"Perhaps," Mai Shude replied nonchalantly, "but I remember saying that your stock growth rate is flatter than your butt."

"Sake Virtue Mai!"

Su Enxi's roar was almost piercing her eardrums.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll freeze your supplementary credit card! From now on, you'll have to pay for all your Hermes and Chanel purchases yourself!"

"oh."

Jiude Mai shrugged indifferently.

"Even if you don't buy it for me, I can just go to any high-end banquet and there will be a dozen young millionaires lining up to pay for my bill."

A clear grinding sound came from the other end of the phone.

Mai Shude chuckled lightly, bringing the topic back on track.

"So, what does the boss plan to do with Cheng Sui? He can't expect me to kill him, can he?"

She gazed down at the composed figure standing calmly in the crowd.

"I don't have that ability. I bet with his current strength, he could easily take on a Dragon King head-on."

"From which corner of the world did this monster just pop out? Even the boss was surprised by his appearance."

Jiu Demai looked at Cheng Sui in the crowd.

This is the boy who saved his silly sister in Egypt, but he is much more formidable now, his sharpness almost piercing through the lens of a telescope.

Is this the transformation of a young person?

"I don't know either!"

Su Enxi's voice was filled with helplessness.

"The boss only gave us the order to break them up, but he didn't say a word about how." She seemed relieved. "Fortunately, according to our intelligence, the two of them haven't officially confessed their feelings yet, so we still have a chance."

Mai Shude curled her lip in disdain.

"Potato Chips, I really don't want to discuss dating with someone like you who's been single for over twenty years."

"Confessing your love is a game for children."

"In the adult world, there is only seduction."

She put down her wine glass and extended a slender, fair finger.

"The first step in seduction is to abandon humanity. Specifically, it's nothing more than three classic tricks: become a cat, become a tiger, or become a dog that's getting soaked in the rain."

Mai Shude's tone shifted to that of a seasoned relationship coach, lecturing a foolish student.

"Our bride, the little princess of the Uesugi family, has hardly ever left the house in her life. She's dull and lifeless, like a delicate puppet without any emotions. This is the first step."

She held up her second finger.

"Then, this silly girl met Cheng Sui when she was soaking wet and at her most helpless. This is like a dog that has been soaked in the rain, which can arouse a man's most primal protective instincts."

"Afterwards, she was extremely obedient to Cheng Sui, like a docile kitten, satisfying all of a man's desire for control."

She then raised her third finger and gently shook it.

"And that Cheng Sui, since arriving in Japan, has become more ferocious and stronger every day. He is now like a domineering tiger."

Saketoku Mai sighed, picked up her wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Look, there's an innocent puppet, a soaking wet dog, a gentle kitten, and a domineering tiger."

"All the elements that make it fatally attractive have been gathered. You want to break them up, potato chips? That's harder than sending us to assassinate a sub-species."

"What do we do then?!" Su Enxi wailed. "Long legs, this task is left to you! I really don't understand all this love and romance stuff!"

At this moment, in the presidential suite of a luxury hotel in Tokyo.

Su Enxi scratched her hair in frustration and rolled around in the soft velvet quilt.

Her silk pajamas slipped down with her movements, revealing her rounded, fragrant shoulders.

She turned off the communicator, and the room instantly fell silent.

She turned over wearily, picked up a potato chip from the bedside table, and mechanically put it in her mouth.

The refreshing cucumber flavor lingered in her mouth, but it couldn't alleviate her inner anxiety.

She suddenly knelt up from the bed, straightened her back, and looked at the huge floor-length mirror in the bedroom.

The girl in the mirror had a face that could captivate countless people, with long, golden hair cascading down like a waterfall.

The silk pajamas perfectly accentuated her shapely figure.

Su Enxi bent back as far as she could.

She turned to the side and carefully examined her curves in the mirror.

"It's really flat—"

She muttered to herself.

"It seems like... not really."
