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

Throughout her long life, she held three different professions:

1. A detective who catches spies.

2. The Spy Who Captured the Witch

3. Witch

"This world is truly beautiful, I love it."

"—Unfortunately, I love myself more."

Chapter 214 The Suicide Seeker

Luo Feng sat in a chair, watching a girl pour wine into his mouth, one sip at a time.

He didn't stop her; after she finished drinking, Luo Feng poured her another bottle.

Luo Feng didn't care whether she was drunk or not, or whether she paid the bill.

The moment she walked in with something on her mind, it already meant she was done with her plans.

Of course, Luo Feng wasn't lusting after her body; he saw the resentment in her.

"I say, if you're emboldened by alcohol, why don't you go and kill those people instead of hanging yourself?" Luo Feng said to the woman in front of him. "Saeki Michiru, don't you think it's pointless to die like this?"

"What hanging? What are you talking about? How do you know my name?" Saeki Michiru sobered up a bit.

She did have suicidal thoughts, but she lacked the courage.

As the saying goes, alcohol emboldens the timid; she just wanted to get thoroughly drunk and then die in her own firm.

Unexpectedly, the man in front of her immediately saw through her thoughts.

“Michiru Saeki, a career elite.” Luo Feng calmly stated her resume: “She was always number one in sales, but unfortunately, she joined a ruthless company.”

“A heartless company…” Michiru Saeki gripped her cup tightly.

"Yes, it's really impressive that you could work so hard in that kind of environment," Luo Feng said softly. "It's a pity that because you're a woman, you've always been in first place, and people often dislike you and even try to frame you. Your boss is also quite something, he suppresses you without any mercy."

There are definitely many companies like this.

Many bosses don't actually have that much of a vision. When you talk to them about personal relationships, they talk about a wolf-like culture. When you talk about quitting because other companies offer more, they talk about their feelings for the company after all these years.

Some of them don't even think about making their companies bigger and stronger, but instead focus on exploiting their employees.

Hefty fines for being late, no overtime pay, and employees are penalized for any reason they are found.

If you think there's no such person, then you can only say it's too sweet.

It's a bit better in this era because the young people of this era are different from the young people of the past. In the past, people valued hard work and diligence because there was no internet.

In this era of internet explosion, young people's hearts are no longer so honest and at ease.

Sorry, let's not talk about ideals, we're only talking about money.

You can't even afford to eat, and you're talking to me about ideals?

However, those are the post-90s and post-00s generations in China.

In Japan, the overall pace is rather complicated.

For example, if the reason for resigning is not good, the next company may not even hire you, which will greatly affect your employment.

Therefore, when encountering workplace violence, one can only endure it.

"How do you know all this?" Michiru Saeki's gaze was somewhat unfocused. "Is our boss deliberately trying to suppress me?"

"That's right, do you think he didn't know this was a setup?" Luo Feng said with a half-smile, "Bosses aren't stupid, how could he not know the intricacies of this? It's just that if you're successfully framed, he can save a lot of bonuses."

“Is that so…” Michiru Saeki gave a wry smile: “You still haven’t told me how you know. I’ve never seen you before, and I only came to this izakaya because there was no business.”

“Because,” Luo Feng’s squinty eyes widened slightly, “I am a devil.”

"A devil?" Michiru Saeki looked Luo Feng up and down, then burst out laughing. "You probably know one of my juniors. He must have told you. Thanks for making me happy. I feel much better now."

She had already prepared herself, but unexpectedly, she encountered such an interesting guy.

The thought of death is just that—a thought. Once that courage is gone, one may no longer want to die.

Some people even start to regret their actions as soon as they hang themselves.

No matter how she looked at him, Luo Feng didn't seem like a devil at all. What kind of devil would wear such clothes?

He's more like a homebody than a devil.

"I'm sorry, but the devil is a shut-in."

As soon as Luo Feng finished speaking, the whole room began to get cold.

Izakayas naturally turn on the air conditioning in the summer, but this kind of cold is not the ordinary kind; it's the kind of cold that chills you to the bone.

Click, click...

The light in the room flickered until it disappeared completely.

Cold fire from hell ignited the decorative candlesticks.

The clothes Luo Feng was wearing were no longer the otaku outfit, but the clothes he wore during the transaction.

That powerful, menacing aura made Michiru Saeki tremble involuntarily.

A voice inside her told her that this wasn't a special effect; it was real!

"What, what are you going to do to me?" Saeki Michiru felt that bad luck was truly unbearable.

Suppressed by my boss and ostracized by my colleagues, now I'm just wandering around having a few drinks and I've ended up in this devil's place?

"I won't do anything to you," Luo Feng said softly. "I'm just telling you about your situation so you know why I know."

“I… what’s there to say about my own affairs…” Saeki Michiru instinctively began to feel fear.

"Because you came to me when you were contemplating suicide, don't you think that's fate?" Luo Feng smiled and said, "You're not even afraid of death, so why are you afraid of me?"

Michiru Saeki swallowed hard. Yes, I'm not even afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of him?

Thinking of this, she regained some of her courage.

“I want to die, so I came here?” Michiru Saeki murmured.

“That’s right, it’s a cause and effect. Heaven felt that you shouldn’t die so meaninglessly and worthlessly,” Luo Feng said. “So, you came here to make your death more meaningful.”

Michiru Saeki swallowed hard; she really didn't want to die anymore.

“I know you don’t want to die now, but how long do you think you can hold on?” Luo Feng raised his face: “You’ve been holding back all this time, so why can’t you hold back your desire to die? Do you want me to help you remember?”

"I……"

“It’s nothing that you’ve experienced workplace violence, because you’re used to it,” Luo Feng said. “You want to die not because of an impulse, but because it’s accumulated over time and you can’t take it anymore. Your junior spoke up for you, making your situation even worse. That was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. His good intentions backfired.”

"Haizaki is a good person..."

“Yes, he’s a good person, but he doesn’t understand the workplace. Excellent people are destined to be ostracized in places like this. Your boss is so mean and stingy, you don’t need to expect him to say nice things when you resign.” Luo Feng said softly, “Besides, this is the reality in Japan. Even if you successfully switch jobs, what can you change? You’ll just become a deserter.”

"So, you've been contemplating suicide, you want to hang yourself while drunk, am I right?"

Chapter 215 Resistance

Yukino had experienced something similar before. Someone had helped her, but those people only escalated their behavior, which is the same as bullying in school.

She was ostracized in the workplace because of her excellence; other colleagues disliked her because of her excellence. This is envy, one of the seven deadly sins.

She slowly endured all of this, but how long could she endure it?

This kind of passive-aggressive behavior is something that ordinary people really can't withstand.

Is passive-aggressive behavior scary? Some people might think it's not scary at all, and that you should just ignore others and do your own thing.

But people have feelings, and everyone is pointing fingers at you. What should you do in this situation?

Some people are more assertive and simply resign, saying, "I'm done here, I'll move on to another place."

In Japan, normal people rarely change jobs; many stay at one company for their entire lives.

Should we let her start over? What if she suffers the same emotional abuse again? What if she's still criticized because of her job change? It's just jumping from one fire pit to another.

Hearing Luo Feng's words, Saeki Michiru trembled uncontrollably: "What can I do? What else can I do? Everything was fine before. They were just saying it casually, but after he helped me, their accusations became even more serious. I can no longer get my number one sales position, and if the bonus isn't enough, I simply won't be able to repay the loan..."

Her desire to die was not merely cowardice, nor simply an act of escapism.

Ultimately, it was the emotional abuse she experienced that severely impacted her life.

So, she can't think of any good solution other than death.

Even so, death is not inevitable. There are many solutions, such as getting married and becoming a full-time housewife. She is quite good-looking, and perhaps she can find someone to share the burden with.

But now she is fearful, fearful of life, fearful of everything, so when the pressure accumulates to a certain level, she will think of dying.

She is different from Yukino. Yukino would face everything with strength and look down on those who subjected her to emotional abuse from a high position.

Unfortunately, not everyone in this world can be strong, and not everyone has a family like Yukino's.

Life in Japan is already stressful, and the suicide rate remains high. There are many reasons why so many reclusive men dare not face society.

boom!

Luo Feng slammed his fist on the table, startling Saeki Michiru so much that she almost fell to the ground.

"Then fight back!" Luo Feng roared. "Kill all those gossipers, take down your boss, and that'll solve everything, won't it?"

"At least, this is more valuable than dying so cowardly!"

"What good will it do if you just die now? You'll not only cast a shadow over your descendants for life, but you'll also spur them to become even more ruthless!"

"You'll see, you'll see what they do after you die."

"They will mourn because of your death, they will change because of your death? You're wrong!"

"They won't!"

A video appeared in front of Michiru Saeki.

The boss was standing there as if nothing had happened, holding a meeting with all the employees.
