I am the devil, I only know how to trade.

"Then... can you give me my current talent?" Sora Ginko's eyes lit up.

Chapter 014? The Angel's Disadvantage

“That’s the power of the devil. We angels would never use something like that to tempt people into falling.” Raffi shook his head.

"So, this talent is real? It can really permanently enhance my talent?"

"Yes, really." Raffi frowned slightly; she had a bad feeling.

"Making a deal with the devil comes at a great price. Never fall into the devil's trap, or they will make a mess of your life."

"What are your terms of the deal? Don't just think about what you think it is; think about the deeper meaning."

"For example, he said the condition is ten years of lifespan. This does not necessarily mean taking away ten years of your lifespan, but it may mean that you only have ten years left to live."

Kong Yinzi looked at Raffi and felt that this angel seemed less powerful than Luo Feng.

This was a woman's intuition, because Luo Feng gave her the feeling that he was omnipotent, elusive, and could appear anywhere at any time.

Moreover, when she talked about the deal between Luo Feng and herself, she didn't know for sure what the deal was about; she was just giving herself an example.

Two things are certain now. First, everything Luo Feng promised me was real, not just empty talk. He can truly improve me, not just temporarily.

Secondly, the fact that Luo Feng, even if he were a devil, couldn't do whatever he wanted and had to follow the rules of the transaction relieved her.

She was worried that Luo Feng would force himself on her without any regard for the consequences, but since he couldn't force her, she was relieved.

Regardless of the final outcome, it is your own choice.

“Our terms of the deal… I will not do business with him.” Kong Yinzi shook his head.

“Girl, you’re wavering,” Raffi said seriously. “There’s no benefit in making a deal with the devil. He’s a real devil with no mercy.”

"I am not wavering!" Kong Yinzi said firmly, "I will absolutely not make a deal with him, absolutely not!"

Raffi thought the girl was all bark and no bite...

She spoke toughly, but the longing in her heart was genuine.

Why do devils often succeed? It's not that everyone is driven by profit, but rather that the benefits they offer are truly hard to refuse.

Countless people, like moths drawn to a flame, recklessly walked into the trap set by the devil.

She couldn't possibly say that Luo Feng wouldn't keep his promises. Firstly, the rules of the Heavenly Realm wouldn't allow it, and secondly, it would be too easy for Luo Feng to discover it, which would give him a real reason to tear off his own wings and use them as decorations.

Damn it, having to fight against someone of unequal strength and still follow the rules is too much work!

“Yes, it’s good that you’re not wavering,” Raffi said softly. “Think about it, life is so wonderful. Talents are something we are born with, so there’s no need to rely on external forces to improve them.”

"Then... can you help me recall two games of chess? I don't need talent, I just need to remember them..."

“No, young lady.” Raffi shook his head gently: “That’s what you got from the devil. It’s his stuff. Even that part of the memory is his stuff. I can’t give you his stuff.”

Kong Yinzi remained silent.

“I’m sorry, there’s nothing I can do to help you. Heaven has its own rules, unlike Hell which has no bottom line.” Raffi said, “What I can say for sure is that as long as you don’t take the initiative to contact him and you don’t waver no matter what deal he proposes, you will definitely be able to go to Heaven in the future.”

Based on the rules and her previous life trajectory, that is indeed the case.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Miss Angel." Sora Ginko felt a little tired.

"Phew, I've said what I needed to say. Now I'm off to save more people," Raffi said.

All she can do is talk.

In terms of action, angels have a natural disadvantage compared to devils.

Just like when police and criminals are locked in a standoff, the police always suffer because criminals can kill hostages and cause destruction at will, but the police cannot, except for the Russians.

"Wait a minute." Sora suddenly realized something: "He can access my memories, so could it be that... something has already happened between us, and then he erased that memory?"

Thinking about this, she became more and more frightened, after all, Luo Feng had that ability!

“You’re overthinking it.” Raffi shook his head. “If he does it, he’ll make you realize that devils are all wicked creatures.”

"That's good." Kong Yinzi breathed a sigh of relief.

She wanted to ask something else, but found that Raffi had disappeared.

She slumped weakly into the chair.

If I expose his devilish nature, will he panic?

Sora instinctively felt that it was unlikely; he seemed indifferent to how she viewed him.

Angels, demons...

I just want to play chess well, become a professional chess player, and play against the Bayi team.

Is my life a little too exciting?

…………

After leaving Kong Yinzi, Luo Feng returned to the shop and continued to laze around.

As for whether he's afraid of Lafite causing him trouble? He's only afraid that she hasn't caused him enough trouble yet.

As long as she keeps interfering with him, there will be a time when he reveals his weakness.

Rather than tearing off her wings, it's more satisfying to make her a fallen angel.

Why would she think that a devil like herself would really care about the rules set by Hell? Those politically minded guys in Heaven are too naive.

He stayed there until late at night, only going out to make a deal and collect two souls.

jingle.

Just then, someone walked in through the door.

This is a woman with dignified features and a beautiful face that exudes majesty.

She was wearing a kimono and looked somewhat lost and disoriented.

She looks to be in her thirties, probably in her forties or fifties, but she takes very good care of herself.

How lucky is this woman to have walked into my shop?

"Phew..." She found a table and sat down, feeling a little tired.

Compared to regular restaurants and bars, izakayas are for late-night entertainment, where people gather in small groups to chat, or come alone, preoccupied with their own thoughts.

It's obvious that this person is the latter.

Luo Feng's shops aren't places you can just walk into. Although his shops are located in most cities across the country, not many people are willing to enter.

Just like a row of shops, a popular shop may attract customers, but a shop with no customers will find it difficult to attract customers. He amplified this psychological suggestion.

People who prefer to frequent the shop don't come back, and ordinary customers are even less likely to visit.

Those who can get in are either people who particularly like quiet or unlucky people.

Luo Feng served her a plate of side dishes, just like a normal izakaya owner.

This wasn't a mistake; this dish was meant for her and wasn't on the menu. It's equivalent to what's called a service charge or seating fee elsewhere, and it costs 800 yen.

Don't underestimate this dish; it's usually made with seasonal or recommended ingredients, and sometimes it tastes even better than the dishes ordered by customers.

"This beautiful lady, why are you out drinking alone?" Luo Feng placed the menu in front of her, then sat down and glanced at her.

Chapter 015? Three times in one night

“I have no friends.” The woman shook her head slightly. “Menu… this, this, and this, these three items, and a bottle of sake.”

Those snobbish guys, seeing that I'm down on my luck, are eager to stay far away from me.

"Then you must have family members too, right? Husband, son, daughter?" Luo Feng glanced at the menu, which consisted of very basic snacks.

He went to the cooking area and began to cook for the woman.

She's the first person to enjoy Luo Feng's craftsmanship; she should feel honored.

“My husband? He’s in the ICU.” The woman shook her head.

"What's wrong with your husband?" Luo Feng asked curiously.

Your husband is in the ICU, and you still have the mind to drink? You're really carefree.

"Ha, he lost a lot of money in the stock market, and the family was in financial trouble. He fainted from anger." The woman sneered. "As for the daughters... the eldest daughter is running around trying to find solutions; the youngest daughter is like she has no heart. After becoming a police inspector, she is only thinking about solving cases and can't help with anything at home."

This year's stock market is like a ghost story; they're not the only ones who have suffered losses.

"How old is your youngest daughter?" Luo Feng asked, noticing the woman's talkative nature. He started chatting with her.

"I graduated from university less than a year ago." The woman shook her head. "Let's not talk about her anymore. I just want some peace and quiet. Please don't disturb me."

This woman must have been a beauty when she was young; I wonder what her two daughters are like.

Luo Feng carried three dishes to the woman and opened a bottle of good wine for her: "This meal is on me."

"Even if my family goes bankrupt, we're still more powerful than any izakaya." The woman's eyes turned cold.

“That’s true.” Luo Feng poured her a drink. “You’re a rare customer at my shop. Actually, I can help customers with any problems, as long as you need it.”

"Any difficulties?" The woman sneered. "Can you save the stock market?"

"How will you know it can't be done if you don't try?" Luo Feng stood up and smiled. "I wonder if you'd like to see a good show?"

"What good show?" The woman frowned slightly.

Luo Feng extended his right hand.

Snapped!

The snap of fingers rang out.

The woman felt a moment of disorientation, and when she reappeared, she was on a street late at night.

There weren't many people on the street. In a dark corner, a young man was drinking alone.

He had one hand in his pocket and a bottle of sake in the other.

The woman felt that the boy was very repressed.

She suddenly realized that she couldn't move, a feeling that shocked her.
