Reimu Hakurei was taken aback, somewhat disbelieving, and said, "Could it be that you really did have some preparation?"
"of course!"
Mo Mo got out of bed, put on his hospital gown, picked up the cane that the young nurse had kindly prepared for him, and shakily slipped out of the ward alone, heading towards the garden.
"Here are the clients we've always dreamed of. And what I possess is what they've always dreamed of."
005 Life for Sale
Momo arrived at the garden and looked around.
Reimu Hakurei watched Momo looking around, still clueless about what he was up to.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, Mo Mo always did things beyond her expectations. Now, she wanted to see what Mo Mo, with the body of a nonagenarian, could actually accomplish.
"Have it!"
Mo Mo looked towards the corner of the garden, where a middle-aged man sat on a bench, peacefully basking in the sun. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be just an ordinary office worker.
"Who is that guy? Is there anything special about him?"
"He's obviously a rich man! The patients around him form a kind of circle. And these patients are all tall and strong, with piercing eyes; they're obviously bodyguards."
Following Momo's direction, Reimu looked over and, as expected, unlike the lonely middle-aged man in the corner, he was surrounded by about a dozen people, making it seem quite lively.
"Although he doesn't look particularly impressive, this low-key demeanor probably indicates that he's a hidden millionaire."
Mo Mo leaned on his cane, walking slowly and steadily, his steps trembling slightly. Coupled with the faint smile on his lips, it seemed that Mo Mo had truly become a weathered old man at this moment.
Mo Mo walked straight to the middle-aged man in the corner, who was slightly taken aback when he saw Mo Mo arrive. Not only him, but his bodyguards were also somewhat stunned. They moved closer but did not actively shoo him away, seemingly unsure how to deal with Mo Mo.
"What, this old man wants to go there and bask in the sun, and you're going to stop me?"
Mo Mo directly questioned the bodyguard, causing the bodyguard who wanted to speak to swallow his words.
The middle-aged man behind the bodyguard waved for him to leave. The bodyguard seemed to want to say something to the middle-aged man, but was refused.
"If I'm even afraid of this old man now, then it seems I, Yagyu Masayoshi, really have no reason to live."
After dismissing the bodyguards, the man who called himself Yagyu Seigi even stood up and helped Mo Mo sit down on the bench in order to welcome her.
"You're very good, young man."
Yagyu Masayoshi's expression was somewhat strange. For so many years, no one had called him a young man. But this old man before him clearly deserved it.
"No, it should be 'You're doing well, sir.' How old are you?"
"Around ninety years old? It's hard to say, I don't really care about these things."
A hint of envy appeared in Yagyu Masayoshi's eyes as he said, "No wonder you are so energetic at your age, never caring about your lifespan yet living for almost a century. Unlike me, I have toiled for fifty years and ended up with a body full of ailments."
"dying?"
Yagyu Masayoshi nearly choked on his breath, but he couldn't show it, so he could only smile bitterly and say, "Yes, although it's not a terminal illness, with all sorts of ailments combined, even if I recuperate here now, I'm afraid I won't live for more than a few years."
"It's alright, I'm going to die soon anyway, I'll probably only live to be a hundred at most."
"You're joking. With your energetic appearance, you might become Japan's oldest person in the future."
Mo Mo stopped speaking and looked at Yagyu Masayoshi with a deep and mysterious gaze. He said, "Young man, if you were given another chance to choose, would you choose to toil your whole life and die young, or live a long and carefree life?"
Yagyu Masayoshi was startled, as if he understood what Mo Mo wanted to say.
"Been taught a lesson."
Yagyu Masayoshi bowed respectfully to Mo Mo and said, "You mean that the meaning of life lies in experience? Although I, Yagyu Masayoshi, am nearing the end of my life, my life will surely be envied by countless people, and countless people would rather walk the same path as me than live a mediocre life, is that right?"
"Indeed, isn't the point of life to live without regrets? Haha!"
"No, I just want to ask you, do you want to buy life? The price is fair, and I will not cheat you, young or old."
Yagyu Masayoshi's smile crumbled.
The transaction privileges were activated, and Momo initiated the transaction, exchanging his life for money.
"Grandpa, how could such a thing be possible..."
With the activation of the additional skill, Trust, Yagyu Masayoshi believed Momo's unreasonable request for a trade, thinking that life and money could be traded for each other.
Name your price!
Yagyu Masayoshi's eyes gleamed as he said, "To be honest, I originally had only six months left to live. Now I realize how precious life is, so old man, I'm willing to exchange most of my fortune for a chance to extend my life."
“I, Yagyu Masayoshi, am currently the richest man in Japan, with several hundred billion dollars at my disposal. However, I also know that since you are selling your life force, the quantity will naturally not be large. I am willing to buy it at a high price!”
"In that case, I'll trade nine years of my life for ten billion US dollars. Also, help me forge an identity document. The content can be anything, just make sure I'm no longer an undocumented person."
Yagyu Masayoshi's face lit up with elation. He said, "Great, no problem. I'll sell my stocks and cash out right away and transfer the money to you!"
"Deal made!"
006 I am just a businessman
Reimu Hakurei was still in shock, but she faithfully performed her duty and informed Momo about the status of the transaction.
An ID card and a bank card suddenly appeared in Mo Mo's pocket. Mo Mo took them out and saw that one was a black bank card that looked very valuable, and the other was his ID card. The name was Yagyu Mo Mo, and his identity was actually Yagyu Masayoshi's uncle.
"Ugh, I'm so tired!"
Having sold another nine years of his lifespan, Mo Mo became even more listless, slumping onto the bench, barely having the strength to stand up.
"I think you're about to mess things up. You only have one year left to live. You're doomed!"
"Sir, are you alright? Should I call a doctor for you?"
Yagyu Masayoshi seemed to have become much younger in an instant, and the white hair at his temples had disappeared. He felt his body was full of power, as if he had returned to his appearance ten years ago.
Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "No need, I just wanted to ask you, are there any bodyguards around you that you particularly dislike?"
Yagyu Masayoshi was taken aback, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Miyamoto Ryuichi, come here!"
"This Miyamoto Ryuichi is a bodyguard that my dutiful son placed by my side to take care of my daily life. Of course, he also reports my condition to my son at all times. Now that I can live for another nine years, I probably won't need him anymore."
"Is that so? That's good."
"Boss, what can I do for you? Hmm, you seem to be..."
Yagyu Masayoshi remained calm and said, "Haha, I just had a chat with this old man and my spirits have improved. Miyamoto Ryuichi, this old man has something to discuss with you."
Completely bewildered, Miyamoto Ryu said respectfully, "Old man, whatever you command, I will do my best."
Mo Mo shook his head slightly, holding the black card in his hand, and said, "Young man, would you like to sell your life force? I'll buy it at an extremely high price, one hundred million US dollars for one year of life force. Would you like to sell some?"
"Old man, you must be joking..."
Trust activated!
"One hundred million US dollars a year for life, which is ten billion yen a year... My God, I'll sell it, I'll sell it!"
Yagyu Masayoshi chimed in, "Ryuichi, this is an opportunity I worked very hard to get for you. You know you're my son's confidant, that's why you have this chance. So, fight for it, this is a chance to change your life!"
"I'll sell! I'll sell!"
Miyamoto Ryu's eyes lit up, and he said, "I'll sell ten years, no, thirty years, no... twenty years, twenty years of my life for two billion US dollars!"
"Deal reached."
Reimu Hakurei's eyelids twitched, but she still managed to call out the notification sound.
Miyamoto Ryu aged instantly, transforming from a man in his twenties into a middle-aged man. Like Mo Mo, he also carried a black card in his pocket containing his two hundred billion yen.
On Momo's side, his atrophied muscles were rapidly regaining strength, and his dry hair was also regaining some vitality. Although he was still an old man with white hair, Momo was at least able to move around freely now.
"Haha, I'm rich! I'm rich!"
Miyamoto Ryuichi kissed the black card, laughing wildly, seemingly the happiest person in the world. Suddenly, his expression changed.
Miyamoto Ryuichi clutched his heart, writhing in pain. Yagyu Masayoshi smirked, shouting, "Help! Miyamoto Ryuichi is having a heart attack!"
The bodyguards rushed over in a flurry, and were startled by Miyamoto Ryuichi's suddenly aged appearance. However, they didn't think much of it and quickly carried Miyamoto Ryuichi to the emergency room.
"Young man, you didn't seem to tell me he has a heart condition?"
"Old man, what does it matter? The transaction was fair, voluntary, and equivalent. He was willing to exchange twenty years of his life for two hundred billion yen in wealth, ignoring his own health condition. Who can he blame for that?"
"What a bad kid."
"No, old man, you are the devil."
Yagyu Masayoshi bowed respectfully to Mo Mo again and said, "There is a large-scale fund transfer in the company that I need to handle. Tomorrow I will come to pay a formal visit to you, sir, no, to visit you, Uncle! In addition, I will raise funds, and I also hope that you can replenish your life. I think we will do business again."
"Then, I'll wait for you to pick up this old man from the hospital."
"Hi!"
Only after Yagyu Masayoshi left did Reimu Hakurei seem to relax, taking a deep breath. This series of swift and unexpected events made him marvel at Momo's truly remarkable thinking.
"But is this really a good thing? Mo Mo, you just killed someone. I can tell that Miyamoto Ryuichi probably won't live much longer."
“I’ve already said it, transactions only follow the principles of fairness, equivalence, and voluntariness. Since he values money more than life, he will naturally suffer the consequences.”
"Ha, so you consider yourself a champion of justice?"
Mo Mo smiled and shook his head, saying, "You're wrong. I'm just a businessman, doing business with others based on fair, equal, and voluntary conditions."
007 Always Repays Kindness
"What a disgusting theory. You treat everything in this world as a bargaining chip? Do you think feelings and morality can be traded too?"
Why not?
Reimu Hakurei questioned him, and Momo countered with a question of her own.
"Then tell me, how do you view love as a transaction?"
"It's simple. The man is willing to provide true love, material support, and care and loyalty, and the woman is willing to do the same. The two parties agree to marriage, and the contract stipulates that they will accompany each other for life, build a family, and remain faithful until death."
"Would you consider this the perfect love in your mind?"
Reimu Hakurei was speechless for a moment, then angrily shouted after a few seconds, "Anyway, it's wrong, completely wrong, this is fallacy and heresy!"
"The principles that work are the truths of the world. Otherwise, everything is just a child's dream, an empty ideal. Reimu, if you still can't remove your tinted glasses, everything in this world will remain a chaotic nightmare for you, preventing you from seeing the truth."
