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

He was a pitiful man, his life was full of frustration, but his final moments were quite magnificent.

Time stood still once again.

This time, Luo Feng didn't go to Yang Nai, but instead strolled over to Inoue, who was barely clinging to life.

Even if he hadn't been shot in the head, he wouldn't have survived.

She lost too much blood; her lower body ruptured. There's no way to save her.

"Want to live?" Luo Feng walked up to him and smiled. "I am a devil, a devil who grants people's wishes. As long as you are willing to give up your soul, I can let you live."

"Help me..." He reached out his hand, finding that he could move freely as if he weren't injured, but the pain still pounded in his nerves: "I'll give you anything, I have money, I have lots of money..."

His life was already flashing by. He knew what it meant to be shot in the right spot, and what it meant to be shot so many times, but he never expected that he would still have a chance to survive!

Yang Nai, standing to the side, also felt a glimmer of hope.

If we can save him, then our family can still be saved, and we can still talk!

“Then let’s sign this.” Luo Feng conjured a contract: “Once you sign it, you can live until you die of natural causes. Don’t worry, this isn’t a trap. You can stay sensible while you’re alive. What I want is very simple: your personal savings and your soul. I don’t want a single second of your lifespan.”

Inoue reacted quickly; he knew that such an opportunity was rare and hard to come by.

Normally he would hesitate, but at this moment he had no choice; he could only survive by making a contract!

To survive, he would try, no matter how slim the hope.

Inoue reached out his hand, wanting to make a contract. In his mind, he saw the same image as Kubo Ichiro: the torture he would suffer in hell, and how his soul would be tormented.

His soul began to tremble.

"Think about your women, think about your wealth. Are you really willing to give all of that up? We'll talk about what happens after death. At least you can live this life well now. Do you really want a next life? Even if you do, you won't have any memories of this one. After you die, who cares about the deluge?"

Luo Feng's whisper rang in his ears.

Inoue gritted his teeth. Indeed, things after death should be dealt with after death.

First and foremost, survival is the most important thing.

pat!

His soul was imprinted on the contract.

As expected, Kubo found out about himself and his family.

She was always on guard against him, enjoying the pleasure of him daring not to speak out against her anger.

But what I didn't expect was that he actually had the ability to fight back.

Where did he get the gun? That doesn't make sense!

The only people here who are allowed to carry guns are the security personnel; even their own bodyguards have had their weapons removed.

Could it be that Sawamura tricked me? Did he set me up?

Damn you, Kubo! Don't think you can die so easily. Once I recover, I'll make sure the gang members have a good time with your wife, sister, and daughter at your grave!

After you've had your fun, sell them all and keep them as playthings for the rest of your life!

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, I'm only guaranteeing that you'll survive with your sanity intact," Luo Feng smiled. "But you'll never be able to control your body again. You'll become a vegetable, unable to do anything every day."

"You can't speak, and you can't even be killed by someone else, so just keep your sanity and enjoy this feeling forever."

"Anyway, you've already enjoyed the first half of your life. The second half... you'll be lying in a hospital bed, unable to take care of yourself, not even a man anymore. You'll feel wonderful pain every time the wind blows or the rain falls. Isn't that reasonable?"

Inoue's eyes widened. He realized that he really couldn't move, and the pain was still there!

His eyes told Luo Feng that he wanted to say, 'You lied to me.'

“I didn’t lie to you. I just wanted you to think about your women and wealth. I didn’t say you had the chance to enjoy them.” Luo Feng lowered the brim of his hat. “Live well. I hope you don’t die too soon. This is a blessing from the devil.”

Inoue's expression shifted rapidly from despair to hope, and then back to despair.

Fear has an expiration date; by keeping him in a near-death state, he gradually let go.

Ke Luofeng gave him hope at this moment, and it was only when that hope was at its peak that he experienced despair that he was able to experience pleasure!

"That's a really nice expression." Luo Feng left his side with a satisfied look and went to Yang Nai's side.

Haruno's expression was the same as Inoue's.

Although Yang Nai didn't die or get shot, she came to the party with hope. She was devastated by Inoue's death, but hope was rekindled by Luo Feng's offer to save her, and then...

"This deal was really worth it," Luo Feng exclaimed. "I won't stay here with you any longer. My collection should be working at my place by now. A boss who doesn't open on time isn't a good boss."

Chapter 040 Happy Money

Luo Feng disappeared from Yang Nai's sight as if he had never existed.

“It’s over, it’s over, it’s all over…” Yang Nai sat on the ground and whispered, “No, it’s not over yet, there’s still a chance. Since he’s willing to pay, will there be someone else willing to pay? The price, even if it’s 20% lower, is acceptable… We can’t do business with him, this guy is a real devil.”

She knows what it means for a wish to be twisted and fulfilled.

The traps in Luo Feng's words are not undetectable under normal circumstances; one just needs to view them rationally.

But those people's circumstances didn't allow them much time to think; they had no choice but to sign the contract.

Yang Nai is now greatly affected and can no longer care about the shock of the dead.

The rationality I've maintained these past few days is crumbling at this moment.

Her mind is a complete mess right now, overloaded.

She was at a loss as to how to save her family.

What happened there was no longer her concern, and when the police arrived, she wouldn't say a word no matter how they questioned her.

The police didn't think much of it. Many of the people present were so shocked by the murder that they wondered how many of these so-called nobles had actually seen blood.

Moreover, this case is so easy to define that it doesn't require much investigation; the only suspicious thing is the source of the gun.

…………

When Luo Feng returned to the izakaya, he found Yukinoshita Saori standing at the door.

He had just been teleported back to the izakaya when Yukinoshita Saori walked in from outside.

She waited outside for a whole day, not daring to leave, but no matter how much she knocked on the door, Luo Feng did not respond.

She had already begun to consider leaving when Luo Feng opened the door from the inside.

"Hello," Yukinoshita Saori said softly.

"Hello, beautiful lady." Luo Feng gave a gentlemanly bow, then took a step back and hung up his hat and coat.

He had just finished making that move when Sora walked in from outside, passing by Yukinoshita Saori.

She clearly remembered that she needed to be at Luo Feng's place by 7 p.m., and she didn't know what would happen if she arrived late.

She was a little awkward at first, but once she started playing shogi, she became completely absorbed in the game.

Apart from Kiyotaki Keika, no one noticed anything unusual about her, including Kuzuryu Yaichi.

He discovered that Sora Ginko's skills had improved, and he could even play against him. Neither of them talked about anything other than shogi, and they were both incredibly happy. What a typical straight man.

Her mentor was quite happy, since no one was comfortable with Sora Ginko playing in the third dan league. However, with her current strength, it wouldn't be that difficult for her to break into the professional ranks, unless all the third dan players in this year's competition were freakishly good. In other words, all the third dan players in the Rewards Club would have to be at the level of Kuzuryu Yaichi and Kunugi Sota, and Sora Ginko would just happen to have bad luck. Only then would she be able to fail to break into the professional ranks.

As for how her playing style changed and developed, she said it was inspired by playing against Sota Kunugi.

In a sense, that's not wrong. If it weren't for the competition with Kujira Soto, she wouldn't have met Luo Feng.

Kiyotaki Keika wanted her to stay and chat today, but she didn't stay.

She could face Kuzuryuu Yaichi, who was 'having another woman,' and her master with equanimity, but she didn't want to face Keika. She was afraid that Kiyotaki Keika would discover that she was lying and that she had an improper relationship with Luo Feng.

It's like going to a loan company and not wanting your family and friends to find out.

Although the analogy is a bit extreme, the transaction between Kong Yinzi and Luo Feng doesn't seem normal at all.

The only redeeming quality is that she's trading her talent, the capital she uses to pursue her dreams, not money.

"You're here. Go to the back and change your clothes." Luo Feng said casually when he saw that Kong Yinzi had arrived on time.

"Change clothes? What do you mean?" Kong Yinzi was stunned for a moment.

She was already mentally prepared to be with him from this time until eight o'clock the next morning, so why was she being asked to change clothes?

Could it be...

Don't even think about it!

"The waitress's uniform?" Luo Feng looked at her suspiciously. "Don't you know what it means to serve me for six months? This izakaya can't be run by me all by myself, can it?"

"But, but you're not..."

"If you want, I can..."

"No, I don't want to, I'll go change right now!"

Kong Yinzi's mood immediately improved, and she quickly ran towards a door.

I didn't know there was such a way to do it?

The contract states "service," but the word "service" has many interpretations. Isn't being a maid a form of service?

Wait a minute, wasn't that woman next to me the one that this despicable guy showed me last time?

She knew that Luo Feng's way of fulfilling his vow might be distorted, yet she was still willing to come?

Sure enough, once this guy sets his sights on you, you're bound to end up badly.

She felt sorry for this person, but she herself was now barely able to take care of herself...

"Do you want this card?" Luo Feng waved the bank card he had just acquired in the transaction. "There's a lot of money in it."

He doesn't have a high need for money, and he doesn't mind spending it on empty pockets.

"No need, I have my own money." After saying that, Kong Yinzi left Luo Feng's sight.

"Fine, don't take it." Luo Feng casually tossed the card onto the table.

The guy who made the transaction just now was quite wealthy; he offered to pay himself, and Luo Feng felt awkward refusing.

It seems that the money here will be enough to cover the losses of the Yukinoshita family, with an additional 200 million yen.

Even if Kong Yinzi knew there was so much money in there, she probably wouldn't dare to spend it; it's too difficult to take advantage of Luo Feng.
