Tokyo: They say it's just dating, but they're serious about it.

“Okay,” Sheng Yan said, grabbing one of his fingers and snapping it back sharply.

"Ah~~~ Sato Hiroji, Sato Hiroji! It's Sato Hiroji! Spare me, spare me..." the man with the waxed hair cried out urgently.

Katsuhiko straightened his bent index finger, then grasped his middle finger and asked, "What abilities does he have that would threaten your family?"

"I made it up, I made it up, if you expose me I won't pay you..." The man with the hair wax was crying and snot streaming down his face.

Katsuhiko continued to hold his middle finger, slowly bending it towards the back of his hand, and said, "During the day at the factory, you said a boss wanted to go on a date with Eiya. Who was it?"

“Sato Hiroji, it’s Sato Hiroji…” The man with the waxed hair was filled with terror.

"I don't believe he can come up with that much money."

As Sheng Yan spoke, he pressed his hand down.

Click!

"Ahhh~~" the man with the hair wax let out a heart-wrenching wail, "It's all made up, all made up, I didn't take any money, it's not even to pay off the debt... I just wanted to trick Yingdai..."

“I can’t tell if what you’re saying is true or false,” Sheng Yan straightened his middle finger again, then held his ring finger. “Give me a reason to trust you.”

Yingdai and Qinye, each wrapped in a blanket, walked out with pale faces and trembling fear.

Eiyo said in a trembling voice, "Katsuhiko-kun, people will die, call... call the police... those two... they seem to be dead..."

Sheng Yan glanced back at the bedroom doorway and saw two people lying face down on the floor, their heads touching, with a small pool of blood between them.

Sheng Yan paused for a moment, then let go of the wax-wearing man's hand and quickly half-squatted at the bedroom door. He checked the carotid arteries of both of them, and they were still beating.

I felt that if I didn't get to the hospital soon, I really wouldn't survive.

Luckily, he had a spare coin in his pocket... Katsuhiko thought for a moment, then grabbed each of their legs and dragged them into the bathroom. Two long trails of blood slid down the floor...

Yingdai and Qinye were so frightened that they collapsed to the floor.

The man with the waxed hair gaped in terror, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets. As if divinely inspired, he scrambled to his feet and dashed out of the room, shouting, "Murder!!! Murder!!!"

The night was deep and dark, and the screams were deafening...

Katsuhiko didn't want outsiders to see the properties of the [Recovery Potion]. He had previously given Eiyo half a vial of the potion diluted with water, which proved that unless the whole vial was drunk, it wouldn't restore the body immediately. Half a vial would only have half the effect.

Katsuhiko fed each person a quarter of the contents. The wound on their foreheads hadn't healed, but they opened their eyes.

"How are you feeling?" Katsuhiko asked.

The two men's bewildered expressions suddenly froze. They were acquaintances, having participated in being beaten by Sheng Yan at the factory.

The two had already recognized Katsuhiko. Lying on the white ceramic tile floor, they trembled and didn't move, their lips quivering as they said, "Please, please let us go... please? I thought I was dead... I'll never do it again..."

Katsuhiko repeated the question he had just asked, and his answer was exactly the same as the one given by the man with the hair wax.

Fortunately, they both have "honest" faces and "sincere" eyes, making them trustworthy.

Yingdai and Qinye, wrapped in their blankets, walked to the toilet door. They seemed relieved that no one had died, but their faces were still tense.

Suddenly, the sound of police sirens came from outside.

Then the man with the waxed hair screamed, getting closer: "Officer, officer, it's inside! That devil killed my brothers, two of them, two lives!"

A moment later, two policemen carrying batons rushed in, accompanied by hurried footsteps.

The truth is obvious: the man with the hair wax lied.

However, the necessary statement still needed to be taken... The police put away their batons.

"I just don't want to get my floor dirty..."

Katsuhiko explained that the reason he dragged the two into the toilet was not to dismember anything.

The man with the waxed hair lay on a stretcher by the door, screaming, "He tortured me! He tortured me, broke two of my ribs, snapped two of my fingers..."

His left index and middle fingers were wrapped in thick gauze, forming the shape of the number "two".

“They broke into my home, and I had the right to defend myself…” Katsuhiko explained the cause of the conflict.

There are currently injured individuals, and the case involves suspected kidnapping by organized crime. The situation is quite complicated, and individuals need to go to the police station to make formal statements.

However, the police officer in charge did not seem to intend to investigate further, and only conducted on-site questioning. The three were then taken away on suspicion of "trespassing."

They didn't even mention asking Katsuhiko to come to the police station to cooperate...

Katsuhiko was too lazy to argue with them anymore. After all, back at the factory, the guy with the hair wax had brazenly boasted that he was "on the same side as the police"...

After the bystanders left, the house fell silent.

Sheng Yan first used a rag to absorb the bloodstains on the floor, then rinsed it with cold water, then wiped it with warm water mixed with white vinegar, and finally used hydrogen peroxide from the first-aid kit to clean it simply.

After Katsuhiko finished his work, Eiyo and Kotoha hadn't returned to the bedroom yet. The two of them huddled together on the sofa, wrapped in blankets, still shaken.

3:30 a.m.

"Go to sleep!" Katsuhiko said.

Yingdai pursed her lips, shook her head, and said, "Go to sleep, we're not sleeping..."

Qinye's eyes were also somewhat dazed.

"I'm not sleepy either, I'll just sit here!"

Katsuhiko sat directly opposite the two of them, about fifty centimeters away from Kotoha, separated by a coffee table. The moment his gaze fell on any part of her, the timer would begin...

Chapter 35: Has a wife and a girlfriend?

After sitting quietly in the living room for five or six minutes, Eitai and Kotoyo gradually calmed down.

Both of them were still wrapped in blankets, with only their heads showing.

Perhaps because Katsuhiko kept staring at Kotoha's head, Kotoha seemed to notice, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.

Meanwhile, Eiyo, who was squeezed next to her, thought Katsuhiko was looking at her face and felt that the atmosphere wasn't suitable for anything ambiguous. She pursed her lips a few times, not knowing what to say, but felt quite at ease being watched by him like this.

A dozen minutes later, Katsuhiko produced a coin in his hand and fiddled with it between his fingers.

Kotoha seemed unable to bear it any longer and whispered, "Katsuhiko-kun, you should go to sleep..."

"Won't you do something drastic?" Sheng Yan asked.

Qin Ye shook her head slightly and said softly, "I just don't know what to do in the future. Life is so tiring."

“Forget about it,” Eiyo said, staring at Katsuhiko with a resentful look. “He said he would take full responsibility, so let’s stick with him.”

Qinye lowered her head and covered her face with the blanket, offering no response.

Yingdai wanted to add: she seriously doubted his ability to take responsibility, as philandering men are always fickle.

However, considering the current situation, it seems inappropriate to say it out loud. I can only observe and test him for a few more days... After all, he has already admitted that she is his girlfriend. Doesn't he have the right to test her?

I'm just not happy about it. Not only does he already have a wife, but he also has a girlfriend he's hiding from his wife... and he even wants them both to come together tomorrow morning. It's outrageous...

“After all, it’s Kenta’s request, so I’ll definitely take responsibility,” Katsuhiko nodded, put the coin in his pocket, and continued, “However, it won’t do if you don’t know what to do. How about setting a small goal first?”

Qin Ye looked up blankly.

Katsuhiko continued, "Let's set a small goal together: first, let's avenge Kenta and take down Sato Hiroji."

Whether it was the interrogation of the three "mentally ill" men who intended to break into the house and kidnap him, or the confession in Kenta's suicide note, it was all directly related to Hiroji Sato.

Qinye bit her trembling lips and nodded.

Eiyo squinted at Katsuhiko and said, "Isn't the female owner of your convenience store also his nemesis?"

“Yes, that’s the small goal for the four of us,” Katsuhiko said casually, getting straight to the point and saying to Kotoha, “Once we avenge Kenta, he’ll be at peace, and you can also get over your grief.”

Kotoha's hand, gripping the blankets, trembled slightly. She subconsciously looked up at Katsuhiko, her eyes somewhat dazed.

Eiyo's gaze lingered for a moment. She looked at Kotoyo, then at Katsuhiko. She noticed that Katsuhiko seemed to be staring at Kotoyo ever since he sat down.

It's only right to care about her now! After all, Kotoha suffered the most severe blow.

But when Eiyo thought about Katsuhiko's network of connections, her mind went completely blank. She felt inexplicably angry but couldn't vent it. She threw down the bedding, stood up, and said, "I'll add another big goal: bankrupt the First Industrial Bank and send its president to prison. Can you help me do that?"

Yingdai immediately regretted her words. It was completely impossible, and it made her seem thoughtless, petty, and like she was trying to win favor. How annoying...

Qin Ye turned around in surprise, still looking bewildered and confused.

Katsuhiko's gaze, which had been fixed on Kotoha's head, instantly shifted to Eiyo.

She was wearing only a thin nightgown, light blue, with long straps and a deep V-neck.

This style of nightgown would look very loose on most people, but it fits Yingdai perfectly.

As she stood up abruptly, a dark blue, lace-trimmed bra tightly bound her nightgown beneath her thin skirt, causing it to sway and ripple, easily reminiscent of the tassels on a Latin dance dress on stage…

And then there was her panting, almost defiant look; a quick glance made one think she had a swaying, milky-white water balloon strapped to her chest.

Katsuhiko felt that his normal eye size was not enough to take Eiyo into his field of vision, so he widened his eye sockets a little and nodded, saying, "It is indeed a very large target."

It's not impossible to bankrupt a large city bank, after all, it's a publicly listed company that raises funds, as long as there's enough money.

Sending the head of the bank to jail would be a huge bombshell, wouldn't it? It doesn't seem that difficult, after all, no banker is clean, especially these days, with their murky ties to the underworld…

“I’m sleepy, I’m going to sleep,” Eiyo said, her gaze shifting downwards, her eyes twitching slightly. She then stared at Katsuhiko, leaned down towards him, grabbed the blankets, and without wrapping them around herself, dragged the blankets across Katsuhiko’s face before heading straight to the bedroom. “You two can continue talking if you want!”

Qinye still seemed a little confused and asked, "What's wrong, Eida-neechan?"

"Ignore her," Katsuhiko put another coin in his pocket, waved to her, "You're tired enough today, go to sleep!"

Qinye turned her head and looked into the bedroom, whispering, "Sister Yingdai is really nice... Her leg injury seems to be healed now, you can take her to see a movie."

“How can I be in the mood to watch a movie?” Katsuhiko said, rolling up his sleeves to reveal eight health bars and a mouthful of teeth marks. “Is Eiyo really that nice? She bit and scratched me.”

Qinye was stunned. Normally, she would have laughed in this situation, but she couldn't laugh at all. After thinking for a moment, she felt that she should make an excuse for Yingdai and said, "There must be a reason!"

“That’s part of the reason,” Katsuhiko said, circling his index finger over the round teeth mark. “When I told her I had a wife and a girlfriend, she got angry.”

"You have a wife?" Kotoha stared in disbelief. "And a girlfriend too..."

"They'll come to visit you first thing tomorrow morning with breakfast. Mikoto doesn't want Sayuri to know about her relationship with me yet, so when you receive them tomorrow, don't let it slip."

Qin Ye was at a loss for words.

It's probably a strange feeling of being trusted by a jerk...

Although I was very surprised, astonished, confused and even incredulous about the fact that Katsuhiko "not only has a wife, but also a girlfriend".
