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

"Cloud Eagle".

"Father……"

"Can you handle this yourself?"

"Yes, you can, trust me, Father."

"Okay, I understand. If it doesn't go well, tell your older brother."

Shi Gongyunying was so angry that his veins bulged. He had set up this business himself. If he told his elder brother, wouldn't this business fall under his brother's control?

But... it was indeed his mistake.

"Father, I have a question, a top secret..."

He gave out the address of the izakaya.

There was a full five minutes of silence on the other end.

Si Gong Yunying dared not urge him; under pressure from his father, he could only wait.

"That's a demon, not a human. Don't mess with it."

"A devil?" Shinomiya Un'taka paused for a moment. "The kind from movies."

"Yes, a real devil. If you need anything, you can make a deal with him, but if the deal includes something like luck, you will be expelled from the Shinomiya family."

Shinomiya Gan'an didn't care about this aspect. The devil's deal was always with the individual, and he only accepted the person to sign the soul contract.

As long as Shinomiya Un'yō doesn't sell his luck, it won't affect the Shinomiya family.

If he sells his luck, his people will be alerted. At that point, they can simply get rid of the son; it's that simple.

Shigu Yanan spoke very softly, but Shigu Yunying felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his mind.

The devil? A deal? Luck?

"A true devil, willing to trade anything?" Shinomiya Un'taka's breathing quickened.

“That’s right, but there will definitely be problems with the transaction. The other party will definitely try to harm the trading partner, so this is a taboo. Even if it’s for the sake of prolonging life, you can’t go for it lightly.”

Shinomiya Gan'an was as calm as a machine, showing no human emotions whatsoever.

"This kind of creature actually exists, and it even runs a shop openly?" Shinomiya Un'ei felt that he hadn't talked to his father this much in a long time, and he had to find out the truth about this.

"Yes, we all agreed to it back then, because it's better for this to exist in our country than in other countries."

Shinomiya Un'yō understood; it was the same principle as nuclear weapons.

Even if he might not be willing to help this country, it doesn't matter to him where he is. At least he's closer to this place, so he can be the first to arrive when a deal is needed, right?

Therefore, the government classified his existence as top secret.

"But, what if, I mean what if, I offend his messenger..."

Shi Gong Yunying was covered in cold sweat. He gritted his teeth, knowing that offending ordinary people and offending this kind of thing were two completely different things.

He offended a supernatural being, one that his father cared about so much; he might not even know how he died.

“It’s alright. He doesn’t have any messengers, and he never cares about so-called messengers. If someone impersonates him, just greet him. But if he tells you to stop, you must stop. You are not allowed to do anything disrespectful.”

"Yes, Father."

"His name is Joseph..."

"Joseph? Isn't it Luo Feng?" Shi Gong Yun Ying was taken aback.

"Hmm? Luo Feng? This is Hell's base station on Earth. The devils on duty are not static. They appeared in England back then as well."

The Joseph he mentioned was the devil from the izakaya that Luo Feng had left for him when he first arrived.

Compared to Luo Feng, his level is basically... even if all of them were dead, they still wouldn't be as good as Luo Feng.

Shigu Yan'an was somewhat dissatisfied that he hadn't even known about the change of personnel.

My eldest son has gotten too cocky.

"I see, thank you for clearing up my doubts, Father. One last question, does the devil... need someone to help him make money?"

"No need. It's too easy for the devil to want money. They only trade things like souls, luck, and lifespan."

Clearly, Shinomiya Un'yō's understanding of the devil is still that of Luo Feng's predecessor.

"understood."

After hanging up the phone, Shinomiya Un'yō stared intently at the screen.

The devil has no messengers... nor does he need anyone to make money for him. How interesting.

Is it possible that Yukinoshita Haruno is just a bargaining chip for the devil, and is only using his position to exaggerate his abilities?

Probably!

If he were in that position, he would have done the same.

Tsk, did he find himself a protective umbrella?

The devil is really interesting.

P.S.: Book recommendation: "This World Is Seriously Sick"

"Welcome Kevin Lee to our school website to confirm your information. We wish you a safe and pleasant journey—By Raccoon City University..."

In the darkness, Kevin could only smile bitterly at the blessing. But when he opened the electronic world map marked with special glowing dots, the names of the cities highlighted in the map looked like malignant tumors growing on the earth.

United States: Raccoon City, known for its hospitality; New York City, a hub of talent…

Japan: Tokoname City, known for its scenic beauty; Tengu City, known for its leisure and entertainment...

China: Juxia City, a place of "harmony"; Tianhe City, a place of "absolute safety"...

Other notable locations include Tokyo, known as the "Shinra Fortress," and Nagasora City, a popular resort destination...

Skull Island, teeming with biodiversity, R'lyeh, overflowing with seafood... and much more awaits exploration.

Kevin lay limply on the bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes rolled back, screaming inwardly.

Damn, this world is sick, and... seriously sick!

What? I used to be called "Kevin Kaslana"? Okay, stop talking, where is the Herrscher?

Chapter 243 The Sage's Blessing

Since that's the case, let's go and meet this devil tomorrow.

The bold get rich, the timid starve.

For someone like him, when faced with something he can't understand or control, he'll definitely try to investigate it.

Many people might think he's courting death, playing with fire.

Actually... this is why many people are rich. In the past, many people were rich because they were bold.

If they had worked diligently, they wouldn't have this fortune.

What Shinomiya Un'yō is thinking about now is who exactly wants to harm the Shinomiya family, that is, by releasing such a video.

Wait, something's not right. There's no sound in this video. The transaction site is the transaction site, but the weapons and other items seem to have been disposed of, and it's not clear.

Moreover, he wasn't in the video; the last person to appear was Yukinoshita Haruno...

"Hello." He picked up the phone and made a call.

"Young Master."

"Can you help me find out the source of this video?"

"We've found out. It wasn't this video initially, but a full version of the video, including what you said at the time..."

After hearing his subordinate's report, Shinomiya Un'yō hung up the phone.

Before he could even ask, the other party had already figured it all out for him; what a capable subordinate.

It must be said that the Shinomiya family has more than enough elites.

For many students, the University of Tokyo can change their lives and put them in high society, and the Shinomiya family is clearly part of that.

Shigu Yunying analyzed it slowly and soon understood.

The original video was originally aimed at the Shinomiya family, and it included all of his words.

The current video likely shows that someone discovered the original video. In an attempt to curry favor, they changed it to this more practical video, giving him multiple options for handling the situation.

As for why the other party didn't just take all those videos down, they probably have their own concerns.

For example, they might not have permission. This video was posted on YouTube, and if they want it removed through YouTube, they'll probably have to pay a price. The other party isn't capable of helping with that much.

Even if the video is reported directly to some of the Shinomiya family's departments, it has already started to spread. Without the netizens' ability to fill in the gaps, who knows what they will guess?

But now it's different. The video is still there, but it's changed. It's more flexible now, allowing them to continue, and netizens won't assume it's all about a deal between them.

After all, there are plenty of idiots among netizens, and a single global crisis can reveal a lot of people who challenge our values.

Even without this crisis, there are people with peculiar thought processes everywhere, and they do things that are even more outrageous than those in novels.

Shinomiya Un'yō then had his subordinates investigate further and discovered that the person who helped them was actually an official television station, with an editor named Oreki Kimie.

He issued another order to give the editor-in-chief a large red envelope as hush money and a benefit.

As for who took the photo...

A glint flashed in Shi Gong Yunying's eyes; this person had to be captured!

Also, we'll wait for the identity of the girl who was at the scene to be revealed.

Tomorrow will be the day he unleashes his full power.

…………

"Xiao Hui, do you think they can trace it back to you and find out that you filmed this video?" Oreki Kimie looked at Kato Megumi with a smile.

Given the capabilities of the Shinomiya family, they might actually find out that she was behind this. She's human, not a god, and this operation wasn't exactly flawless.

"As long as you don't sell me, they won't. If they find out, it must be because you sold me. I was using your camera back then, not my own." Kato Megumi calmly looked at Oreki Kimie.

She didn't leave any fingerprints at the scene, at most shoe prints, and she was wearing the most ordinary kind of sneakers.
