The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Desire, simply put, is the goal or thing that people most crave and want to obtain. Even if the Devouring Monsters cultivated by the Lovefin, a large fish head, cause trouble, they can be controlled within a very small area. When the host tastes the sweetness and encounters trouble again, Lovefin will find the host again, harvest the Devouring Monsters full of coins, and turn the original host back into a breeding ground.

The elderly man she met a few days ago was a master of flower arrangement, but he was so old that he could hardly even pick up scissors to trim flower branches, let alone arrange flowers.

To this end, Lovefin uses him as a host to cultivate its nest and secretly helps him create the flower arrangement he desires, thereby accumulating coins.

However, once the number of coins inside the Devourer reaches a certain threshold, it will cause all sorts of trouble. At that point, Lovefin will step in to resolve the chaos and blame the old man. This way, he can not only harvest a large number of Cell Coins but also gain the old man's trust, making him willingly become the Devourer's breeding ground!

In this way, Aifin not only gradually shed his greedy persona, but also amassed a large number of Cell Coins.

However, her plan has a major flaw: if any part of it goes wrong and is not remedied in time, her plan will collapse on a large scale!

"Your plan is indeed very... very... very perfect, but now you're... already facing utter disaster and you're still gloating!!"

Miku, whose interests were now tied to Aifin's, bluntly told Aifin, "If your plan...if...if even the slightest flaw occurs, then you will lose everything!"

"So you need a protective umbrella, an umbrella that can quickly...quickly...rapidly bring the situation under control if you make a mistake!"

"Otherwise, do you think that a small company like Sato can help you...you...you continue with your plan?"

"Aiqi, you're thinking too... too... too naturally!"

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Aiqi said icily, "You don't need to worry about my affairs. As for a protective umbrella or anything like that, do you think I, as a greedy person, would need it?!"

"Mind your own business!"

Without waiting for Miku's response, Aifin, who had spoken coldly, left the shore on its own.

Miku watched Aiqi leave and sneered, "Then we'll just wait and see. You'll know what it means to lose the whole game with just one wrong word!"

Chapter Sixteen: One wrong move, and the whole game is lost!

The Sato family's restaurant!

Sato Masao sat at the dining table with a happy expression. In front of him was a sumptuous meal, each of which was his favorite dish and had the most familiar taste to him.

"Delicious, so delicious!"

Holding a white bowl, Sato Masao was wolfing down the food on the table with a look of pure enjoyment. In his bedroom, spiderweb-like threads wrapped around one blue, gelatinous soft ball after another.

As Masao Sato swallowed mouthful after mouthful, the blue, gelatinous sphere trembled incessantly. Inside, within a deep, ocean-like blue interior, a twisted embryo was slowly taking shape.

Outside the window, a pair of scarlet eyes watched Sato Masao, who was enjoying his meal, through the window, his mocking gaze filled with deep disdain.

Slowly, as the owner of the eyes retreated, those scarlet eyes disappeared from the window.

........

A multinational restaurant, in the attic.

In the cramped little room, there was a sofa covered with a long, fiery red cloth. A red-haired man with an air of arrogance in his eyes reclined on the sofa, holding an ice pop in his hand. The man, who was always looking at his phone, would occasionally take a bite of the ice pop.

"Anku!"

Wearing a distinctive ethnic costume, Izumi Hina stormed up to the attic and glared at Anku, who was licking an ice pop. She said angrily, "Anku, can't you just eat properly? You're using my brother's body right now. Eating ice pops every day will make my brother malnourished!"

"I like it, so what?"

Anku glanced sideways at Hina and replied with a crooked mouth. As soon as he finished speaking, Hina's cute round face puffed up into a bun.

"You can't say that! My brother's health isn't something you can decide for him!"

"Ugh..."

Hina grabbed Anku and forcibly pulled him off the sofa.

"What are you doing?"

Ankh, who was being held in Hina's hands, struggled desperately, but how could he be a match for Hina, who was full of superhuman strength?

"Ding-dong..."

The phone beeped, and Ankh, who had just opened his phone, grabbed Hina's hand and said, "Let go of me right now, you strong woman!"

"No way, uh..."

With a soft snort, Hina forcibly dragged Anku into the lobby, brought over a lavish lunch, and said, "You have to finish all of this, not a single bit!"

Anku's expression changed immediately upon seeing the roast chicken on his plate!

"Are you kidding me? You're giving me this to eat?"

"Are you going to eat or not!?" Hina threatened, clenching her fist, a dangerous smile on her face—it was unclear where she'd learned that!

"Fine, I'll eat it!" Ankh snorted and grabbed the roast chicken, taking a big bite. Filled with anger, he mistook the roast chicken for Hina and, with his eyes glaring at Hina, took a big bite.

"That's more like it!" Hina clapped her hands in satisfaction and turned to greet the other guests, unaware that Anku had opened his mouth and spat out everything he had eaten.

"Damn woman, the first person I'll deal with after I'm resurrected is you!"

"I, the progenitor of birds, was forced to eat roast chicken by you!"

While no one was paying attention, Anku, muttering to himself, left the multi-national cuisine shop alone.

"That post is too suspicious. Just to be on the safe side, I should take a look!"

Ankh, muttering to himself, picked a direction and ran. He didn't want to be forced to eat roast chicken by Bina again.

Now!

The progenitor of birds was forced to eat roast chicken. Look at this, is this even reasonable?

Along the way, Anku used a motorcycle he was selling to cross most of the city and stopped in front of a house.

"The Sato family, it seems this is the place!"

After putting away his helmet, Anku, seeing that no one was around, detached his right arm from Izumi Shingo's body and flew over the iron gate. When he saw the lush weeds in the courtyard, he couldn't help but say with disdain, "The owner of this house is really too inconsiderate. He can't even be bothered to weed!"

A grotesque severed arm was flying wildly in mid-air. If others saw it, they would probably have a heart attack from fright!

"This guy..."

Upon seeing Sato Masao through the somewhat dirty window, Ankh saw Sato Masao wearing a bathrobe, embracing a creature that resembled a suckerfish, and kissing it passionately.

"A hallucinatory ghoul, huh? You can tell at a glance it's Lovefin's handiwork!"

Anku snorted dismissively and returned to Izumi Shingo's body, taking out his phone and making a call.

"This time, the Cell Coin you painstakingly created is mine, Lovefin!"

Just as Anku was making the call, a tiny canned eagle, hidden among the branches of a large tree in front of Anku, emitted two red lights from its eyes and flew away without touching a single leaf.

A meeting room in the headquarters building of the Hung Shang Foundation.

When Miku heard the canned eagle gently tapping against the glass, a smile appeared on his furry face.

"Looks like that guy's taken the bait!"

"Cough cough..."

Miku cleared his throat and his mouth opened and closed silently. After a short while, the collar around his neck spoke, "Outer Continent, do you know... do you know why I... did I call you here?"

A young man with glasses, standing respectfully in front of Miku, smiled and said, "You called me here simply because you need my help!"

"That's right, so I need you to handle the following matters perfectly, and... and... and no third person can know about it!"

"understand!"

"I want...I want...I want you to do it..."

After listening to Miku's request with his head down, Wai Lu asked in shock, "Is this really possible? Will Chairman Hong Shang agree to it?"

"Outer Continent, you need to know that everything... is... is all for the Hong Shang Foundation!"

Noticing the fleeting glint of ferocity in Miku's eyes as he frowned, Wai Lu trembled and quickly bowed respectfully, saying:

"Yes!"

"Very...very...good!"

Miku nodded in satisfaction and wagged its tail, signaling that the other party could leave. However, as Wai Lu reached the door, Miku's halting, cold, mechanical voice rang out: "Wai Lu, I remember you...you...you seem to be from an orphanage, right?"

"Yes, the director of the Bonan Orphanage is like a father to me!"

"I heard that someone is planning to acquire land in the West District... District... District recently, are you aware of that?"

“This…” Wai Lu, standing in front of the door, had his forehead covered in cold sweat. With his hands pressed tightly against his trouser seams, he lowered his head and said, “I’ve heard a little about it!”

"Really? If that land is acquired... then I estimate... a lot of facilities will be demolished!"

"Then...then some homeless children will...they'll be in real trouble!"

"Sigh, I have so much money and I don't know... how to spend it! It's such a headache!"

Miku, no longer speaking, stared at Wai Lu with his emerald green eyes, while Wai Lu, standing at the door, showed a look of constant struggle in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Director, all of this is for the sake of the Bonan Orphanage!"

Having made up his mind, Wai Lu walked out of the conference room with a gloomy face. Miku's words were like arrows piercing his heart.

"Is this what happens when you lack power?"

Just as Wai Lu walked out of the conference room, a fierce chase was taking place in the city.

The somewhat disheveled Aifin transformed into clumps of water and swam through the alley. Behind her, the grass-green Three Eggs followed closely. Not only that, Three Eggs was also followed by a group of its own clones.

"Why is this happening?" Looking back at the relentlessly pursuing Sandan, Aiqi felt a deep hatred for him.

Not only did he inexplicably cause trouble, but he also ruined my plans. I was originally in a position to overpower the three eggs with a large number of Cell Coins, but this bastard actually used the Combo, which not only increased his strength but also created clones to gang up on me!

With a burning hatred welling up inside her, Aiqi, her teeth practically clenched in anger, cried out, "OOO, I'm not done with you about this!"

"It's not over yet!"

Just as San Dan was relentlessly chasing Ai Qi, a canned eagle hovering above the two of them grabbed a canned locust, whose two mechanical eyes kept following Ai Qi and San Dan.

The Hongshang Foundation, headquarters building, in that empty meeting room.

Miku looked at the image projected on the screen and chuckled, "This is a classic case of one wrong word leading to total defeat!"
