Tokyo, the shady intelligence of private detectives

Chapter 150 One hundred million yen

Two graceful young women walked up to Maki Shiramo and stopped beside her.

Their white gauze dresses concealed their bodies, and their appearance immediately drew the attention of everyone present.

The male believers are now in a state of tense excitement. After the satisfaction they had just experienced in the hot spring, they are ready to take action at any moment in the face of the renewed visual stimulation.

His Holiness the White Peach Dharma King spoke in a gentle tone with a touch of sacred solemnity: "Now that you have understood the great path to happiness and have severed your worldly attachments and delusions, you can enjoy your own unique blessings."

"Ordinary believers can only listen to the teachings, calm their minds, and cultivate themselves superficially. But those who sincerely dedicate themselves and are willing to give everything to follow the Great Way can obtain the Blessing Life Heart Sutra, receive blessings and protection, and be the first to transcend the mundane world and ascend to the realm of enlightenment."

She picked up a simple, ancient-style thread-bound Buddhist scripture from the tray on the left. The cover was a dark, deep black with dark gold patterns.

"This is the 'Mingxin Fusheng Sutra,' printed on specially made Xuan paper soaked in sandalwood incense for many years. Each page is handwritten and transcribed by a virgin. Possessing this sutra can accelerate the cleansing of karmic obstacles, stabilize the mind and body, accumulate supreme blessings, and enter the path of blissful birth sooner. Women who purchase it can be directly promoted to senior volunteers and have the opportunity to serve the Dharma King or the Head of the Religion."

Then she picked up a palm-sized, dark jade pendant from the tray on the right. It looked warm and delicate, with intricate patterns carved on the jade body and the edges polished smooth.

"This is the Jade Pendant of Blessing and Peace that President Kurokawa wears close to his body. Male believers who obtain this jade pendant will receive the president's blessing and will rise in rank within the association. You can be promoted directly from a junior member to a Spiritual Retreat Master and have the opportunity to become a regional leader, enjoy priority access to association resources, and receive the gifts of the Great Way of Blessing."

Maki Shiramo's voice was soft, yet highly persuasive: "The scriptures and jade pendant are the most precious treasures of the Fusheng Society, sold only to those who sincerely follow the path of Fusheng, and the highest bidder wins."

Baihe Wanchun stood up. "All the companions who came with me can now gather together to discuss and bid on the scriptures and jade pendants."

The young woman on the left said, "The starting bid for the 'Mingxin Fusheng Jing' is 500,000 yen."

The young woman on the right said, "The Chairman's 'Good Fortune and Peace' jade pendant has a starting bid of two million yen."

Seto Natsuri also stood up. "Those with the deepest sincerity will receive the greatest blessings. I will give up all my worldly possessions in exchange for endless blessings in this lifetime. Please discuss carefully before making your bids."

Seeing Masahiro Hanyu stand up, Natsumi Seto said softly, "I hope that with Mr. Yamamoto's efforts, Ms. Mio can at least purchase the Chairman's jade pendant. If the Holy King approves of our work, you will have passed the test."

Is it possible to pass the test by spending money to buy a jade pendant? Masahiro Hanyu didn't quite understand Natsumi Seto's intentions.

But given the current situation, he really had to do it; only by advancing his position within the Fusheng Association could he obtain more clues.

Masahiro Hanyu nodded slightly. "Okay, I will do my best."

Seto Natsumi's tone became more serious, "No, it's a must, otherwise you will miss out on the wonderful part of tonight, and you might even lose your freedom."

After nodding again, Masahiro Hanyu walked to Yui Satsuki's side. "Ms. Mio, I think—"

Yui Satsuki interrupted him, "The scriptures and jade pendant are indeed worth having, but does Yamamoto-kun have the financial means?"

Masahiro Hanyu bowed deeply: "I don't have enough money, but I beg you, Ms. Mio, to support me!"

Natsumi Seto, who was following behind, said softly, "Ms. Mio, this is the time when Yamamoto-kun needs your support the most."

Satsuki Yui didn't speak, but stared at the two beautiful young women in front of her. "Yamamoto-kun, these two ladies are quite lovely. Would you like to have them?"

Yuzuru Masahiro was taken aback at first, then said, "Ms. Mio, how can those two be compared to you?"

The aroma of medicine in the lecture hall made Satsuki Yui's cheeks flush alluringly red. "Alright, I'll consider your request!"

At this point, Shirakawa Manchun announced that he would preside over the auction and that the bidding for the scriptures would begin.

After a brief silence, the couples present began to bid eagerly, and the sounds of bidding rose and fell in the closed attic.

"Six hundred thousand yen, for a copy of the 'Sutra of Blessing and Life'!"

"Six hundred and fifty thousand! I would like to have one copy."

The female believers present eagerly raised their bids, no longer hesitant to spend their money.

Prices soared, and the bidding for the scriptures quickly surpassed one million yen, with the atmosphere gradually becoming frenzied.

After repeated bidding wars, the price of the scriptures finally settled at 3.5 million yen.

Masahiro Hanyu looked at Yui Satsuki and said, "Ms. Mio, don't you want to try?"

Yui Satsuki shook her head slightly, without saying a word.

The copy of the *Mingxin Fusheng Sutra* was purchased by a thin, middle-aged woman. She danced with joy, exclaiming, "Now I can serve the Chairman and the Dharma King! Congratulations to me!"

Shirakawa Manchun announced loudly, "Next up is the auction for the Chairman's Lucky Jade Pendant, starting at two million yen."

"I'll offer five million yen!" the middle-aged, overweight man who had reported the female reporter suddenly shouted, raising his hand.

A brief silence fell over the scene. "I'll offer ten million yen!" the female reporter's male companion raised his hand.

"Eleven million yen!" the middle-aged fat man continued to raise the price.

"Twenty million yen!" A man with a small mustache raised his hand.

As prices continued to rise, Yui Satsuki leaned close to Masahiro Hanyu and whispered something in his ear.

Masahiro Hanyu's eyes widened suddenly, then he puffed out his chest, raised his hand, and said, "One hundred million yen!"

The bidding in the entire lecture hall suddenly stopped, and everyone's eyes turned to look at Masahiro Hanyu, their eyes filled with shock.

One hundred million yen was far beyond what anyone present could afford.

When Yui Satsuki whispered for him to make a price quote, Masahiro Hanyu was also shocked.

Although he knew that Yui Satsuki would definitely bid, he didn't expect it to be this high.

However, considering the involvement of the investigation department, once Fu Sheng is severely punished and investigated, the money will eventually be returned, which makes sense.

Shirakawa Manchun's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his tone became more sincere in his praise: "Mr. Yamamoto, you are truly blessed."

After a brief silence, Shirakawa Manchun slowly spoke, "Anything over 100 million yen? 100 million yen once, 100 million yen twice, 100 million yen three times! Sold!"

"The Jade Pendant of Blessings is presented to the faithful followers of the Red Faith Society. May Mr. Yamamoto enjoy boundless blessings."

A young girl carrying a tray walked up to Masahiro Hanyu, knelt down, and raised the tray above her head with both hands.

The White Peach Dharma King approached and solemnly held up the black jade peace pendant with both hands. "How should I address this gentleman?"

Masahiro Hanyu bowed slightly. "Ryuji Yamamoto!"

The eyes behind the mask of the White Peach Dharma King sized him up and down. "You may leave the manor only after you accept the Jade Pendant of Blessing and Peace and receive 100 million yen."

Yui Satsuki took Masahiro Hanyu's arm and said, "For Yamamoto-kun, I am willing to give everything. Please rest assured about the money, Your Majesty."

The White Peach Dharma King looked at Satsuki Yui and then handed her the jade pendant, saying, "May Mr. Yamamoto's heart return to Fusheng, never to be separated from him for life, and to follow him without question."

Yuzuru Masahiro accepted the jade pendant with both hands, displaying reverence and respect, declaring, "I will never abandon you, I will follow your every command!"

Inside the lecture hall, believers cast envious glances. Possessing this jade pendant would grant access to the inner circle of the Fusheng Society.

At that moment, Natsumi Seto suddenly exclaimed, "Mr. Yamamoto and Ms. Mio are devoted to the path of happiness and deserve to be rewarded. Tonight, let us all witness their wonderful moment together!"

Masahiro Hanyu was startled. In front of everyone?
