Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

With the help of lawyer Eri Kisaki, he sold the dojo and moved to an apartment next to the Mori office.

Young people are indeed prone to impulsiveness, but those who have experienced life and death often have a changed mindset.

No matter how strong a young person's heart is, there are limits.

He couldn't possibly not be afraid!

But now the situation is completely the opposite; his eyes are unwavering, as calm as a stone.

Vermouth looks young, but she is actually quite old, and the richness of her experiences far exceeds many people's imagination.

She had seen the eyes of many soldiers who had been withdrawn from the battlefield.

This is how Miyazaki Yu was at that moment; his eyes were not filled with anger, but with determination.

"Damn it, this kid has clearly misunderstood!"

She suddenly realized that people who have experienced life and death may become timid and cowardly, or they may become indifferent to life and death. Could it be that she had just happened to meet a crazy person who was not afraid of death?

But at that moment, she suddenly felt a slight tremor.

He chuckled to himself, "His eyes are resolute, but his muscles are trembling with fear? Yes, everyone is afraid of death, and he is no exception."

"Little brother, don't be nervous. I have no resistance against you right now. We have no grudges against each other. As long as you let me go, I won't do anything to you."

You're still young and don't know how terrifying our organization is. Even if you kill me here, you can't avoid trouble. Our organization will relentlessly investigate this matter. You don't want to live in constant fear from now on, do you?

Miyazaki Yu's pupils contracted slightly, as if he was considering the truth of the statement, but he let out a soft hum and released his arm.

"Puff-"

Vermouth immediately knelt down on the ground; Miyazaki Yu hadn't held back at all.

This woman actually dared to kidnap him. Although it was intentional on his part, the feeling of being manipulated was quite disgusting.

In this completely dark place, yet full of traps, he suddenly felt as if he had returned to the world of consciousness.

The world of consciousness is both his advantage and a form of torment.

It's a bit like claustrophobia.

Therefore, Miyazaki Hayao's reaction was particularly intense.

However, this also aligns with his current identity and personality, which means he's taken the act too seriously.

This completely concealed any potential flaws he might have had.

Otherwise, given Vermouth's superb acting skills, it's uncertain whether Miyazaki Yu, despite having lived two lives, could fool her.

"Whoohoo-"

Vermouth felt like her whole body was about to fall apart. She couldn't help but raise her head and glare at Miyazaki Yu, only to see him still watching her warily. Her heart skipped a beat.

This guy is a real freak.

It was strange to her that such contradictory qualities were concentrated in one person: the courage to face death at any moment and the fear to tremble in terror.

However, in her heart, she had already sketched out the image of Miyazaki Yu.

"Because of his past experiences, he is both sensitive and capable of exploding in desperate situations. He will not easily take the initiative to attack, but once he senses danger, he will act like a wild beast, completely incapacitating the enemy before he can truly feel at ease."

Only then did she understand.

"My previous actions made him think he was doomed, so he attacked recklessly, trying to take a few people down with him before he died? I'm really unlucky!"

"You're a heartless bastard! How could you be so cruel as to hit a beauty like me so hard? I almost got killed!"

Looking at the witch's indignant expression, it seemed as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Miyazaki Yu scoffed inwardly. This woman didn't care how much fear she brought to others.

Now that they've learned their lesson, they're putting on a pitiful act.

"Miss Vermouth, all I know so far is your name, and even that I can't tell if it's real or fake!"

I was enjoying my weekend at home alone when I was electrocuted and taken to a completely unfamiliar place. Have you ever experienced this feeling?

All I want to know now is what your purpose is! If we can't reach an agreement, then I'll have no choice but to fight to the death. After killing you, I'll go find the guy who stunned me. If I kill you all, maybe your organization won't dare to mess with me anymore.

Vermouth's lips twitched.

What kind of guy is this, always wanting to fight to the death and perish together!

Do you have some misunderstanding about criminal organizations?

Criminal organizations are only after money and power, not to fight madmen!

He sneered, "Little brother, you're wrong. Our organization did send me to investigate you to keep that information confidential. I just wanted to test you, but I didn't expect you to react so strongly. If you were really knocked out by the anesthetic gas, you would have returned to your residence when you woke up."

Miyazaki Yu showed a perfectly timed look of astonishment.

This was also caught on. A smile crept onto Vermouth's lips. You rascal, finally something unexpected has happened.

Miyazaki Yu immediately put on a stern face.

"Hmph, that's just your side of the story. I have no intention of provoking you or your so-called organization. Right now, I just want to leave this place. You'd better let me leave quickly, as I have very important things to do."

Vermouth was filled with resentment. He was determined to leave, and she couldn't stop him. Was she just going to let him go like that?

But she was really unwilling. She had paid such a high price to bring this guy here, was she just going to give up on recruiting him?

At this time, Miyazaki Yu was a treasure in her eyes.

The opponent, through mere sword practice, has developed such rapid reflexes, immense strength, and agile speed. With just two small knives, he was able to subdue me even in a completely disadvantageous situation.

If I can get his help, I will have a chance to get rid of that organization!

That organization was like a nightmare, constantly haunting me, and my life was fundamentally changed because of it.

Although my life was terrible before I joined the organization, I was often tormented after joining.

She was human, and a woman with passionate emotions; she didn't want to be forever immersed in darkness and fall into hell.

The organization is like a dark curtain in the online world; only a silver bullet can tear through this dark curtain and bring light to it.

Therefore, she absolutely cannot let this opportunity slip away!

Chapter 42 A Pleasant Cooperation (3rd Update!)

"I'll take this pistol. I don't want to kill anyone, don't force me!"

Miyazaki Yu tried to make his voice serious as he picked up the pistol and knife that were pinned to the ground by the throwing knife.

From the past to the present, the two have actually had many exchanges and tests.

However, Miyazaki Yu stood on a higher dimension.

Vermouth gritted her teeth. This was an extremely cautious guy who hadn't left the slightest opening. Moreover, he deliberately held the loaded gun in his hand instead of putting it away, as if he was ready to fire at any moment.

Some of his actions also reveal his naiveté.

However, judging from their cautious attitude, they seem as prudent as some old foxes.

"Stop! I have something else to say, huh??"

Before she could finish speaking, the dark muzzle of a gun was already pointed at her. The gun was semi-automatic and had just been fired; pulling the trigger now would fire another bullet.

He cursed inwardly, "This brat has no sense of proportion. If he accidentally fires something, I'm dead!"

He hurriedly dodged the gun barrel and said angrily, "Don't point the gun at me! The safety is off right now. If it goes off accidentally, I'll be dead!"

Miyazaki Yu looked at her with red eyes.

"Is there anything else you want to say? I don't want any connection with your so-called organization. Since you are so powerful, you must know about me. I am just an orphan and have no use to you. All I want to do now is study hard and earn more money. I don't want to get involved with you."

"Money?" Vermouth keenly grasped the meaning behind Miyazaki Hayao's words.

By the way, the other party is an orphan who almost died because he had no money, so he must be extremely eager for money.

"You may have misunderstood. I brought you here not for the organization, but for myself. You are a person with great potential, like a perfect piece of jade. In this world, outstanding people always attract the covetous eyes of others."

Because of money, you were almost killed. Although you survived by sheer luck, you were in a coma for a full year, and your dojo was also gone. Don't you want to take it back?

Seeing Miyazaki Yu stop, Vermouth was overjoyed, finally finding the kid's weakness.

“You are just a high school student right now and don’t have your own source of income, but if you can cooperate with me, I can not only teach you a lot of things, but also pay you a lot of money, money that you can’t even imagine right now.”

Miyazaki Yu looked at her with a frown.

"I still don't understand. Since you're so wealthy, you could hire a lot of desperados to serve you. I'm just a high school student. Although my swordsmanship is decent, it shouldn't be of much use to me, right?"

Vermouth smiled charmingly; she was still young and hadn't yet realized her own worth.

Although she didn't know the boy's specific physical measurements, judging from his performance just now, he was extremely abnormal.

Whether it's speed, strength, or resilience, it has far exceeded the limits of ordinary people!

This is even without the other party receiving any real professional training!

If possible, I can take charge of his training. Before long, once he can use firearms proficiently, his combat power will skyrocket, making him incomparable even to Shuichi Akai, who betrayed the organization!

At that time, this kid will be my trump card!

"Miyazaki-kun, you haven't truly realized your own value yet. Just your current strength is already comparable to those battle-hardened mercenaries. You still have huge room for growth. As long as you cooperate with me, I can give you everything you want!"

You should have realized by now that the world is not fair. Many people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth. They have wealth, status, and glory, and can easily obtain many things that others dream of!

We're all human, yet when we want things that are readily available to us, we have to pay a price that most people can't even imagine. Isn't that an inherently unfair world?

Miyazaki Yu's face was solemn, as if he was considering whether these words were true or false.

“Miss Vermouth, you are right. I do crave money. This world has always been a world for the rich, and money can buy almost everything.”

Although I don't have much money right now, my life has gotten back on track thanks to the help of kind people. You should know who I'm talking about. Besides, I've gained some real strength now, and as long as I continue step by step, I can gradually achieve a better life. So I don't need to associate with dangerous people like you!

Vermouth gritted her teeth inwardly. This kid was so young, yet so stubborn.

“Miyazaki-kun, you’re right, but that’s the normal path. You’re quite strong, but what can you do with such powerful swordsmanship? Become a rich man’s bodyguard? Or join the army and become cannon fodder in war?”

But cooperating with me is different. I only want to use your strength to complete some difficult tasks. You don't need to join my organization; you only need to serve me. No one else knows your identity except me, so you don't need to worry at all!

She took a few steps forward, stood in front of Miyazaki Yu, and gently exhaled.

"The darkness of the underworld is far beyond your imagination. It is extremely difficult for a woman to survive in it. If you agree, you can have a lot of wealth and fulfill your dreams. Why wouldn't you do it?"

Miyazaki Yu lowered her head, resting her chin on her hand and gently stroking it with her fingers, as if weighing the pros and cons.
