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

"No need," Luo Feng said softly. "I've already told you, you don't need to be so wary of me."

Kong Yinzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought about it carefully, and realized that apart from last night, Luo Feng didn't seem to have done anything to her.

Even just now, she only wanted to do what a maid should do.

So, does that mean I really just need to do my normal job?

Moreover, he can say whatever he wants to me, even if it hinders his work, and he won't even get angry if I say something sarcastic to him...

Sora Ginko knows her own temper. Many times, she has already said and done the words before she even thought of them. This is a strange kind of muscle memory.

It's impossible for her to completely lower her guard against Luo Feng right now, but this kind of thing needs to be done gradually, little by little, and Luo Feng isn't in a hurry to play with her.

In his words, since he already had it, why should he care?

“Today, I’ll use my individual abilities against you. Otherwise, I’ll use Bai’s abilities. Bai is like a supercomputer; you simply can’t win,” Luo Feng said with a smile.

"The blank space is the brother and sister I saw, isn't it?" Kong Yinzi knelt down in front of Luo Feng: "What kind of people are they?"

“Speaking of this game alone, White can master 10 to the power of 110. Do you know AlphaGo? It can beat powerful computers in chess.” Luo Feng said, “For her, chess is just a simple game of right and wrong.”

"A simple right or wrong... game?" Sora Ginko's heart clenched painfully.

“However, she has a fatal flaw,” Luo Feng said. “She can only calculate, not scheme. So as long as you use some incorrect moves to lure her, you can still get her into confusion.”

"What about Sora?" Sora suddenly thought of the moves that, while not the most correct, were incredibly sharp during the game. Each move could be considered a divine move.

“Kong is good at scheming, but not good at calculation,” Luo Feng said. “Kong alone is not powerful, but the two of them together can even defeat a god.”

"Why do you have their abilities?" Sora asked curiously.

"I'm just using their projections left in this world. I don't know their current level either; they're not gods from the same system," Luo Feng said.

"Why would a Chinese person like you come to Japan to become a devil?" Having received an answer, Sora changed the subject.

"I can't possibly go and wreak havoc on my own country, can I?" Luo Feng said softly. "I can cause as much trouble as I want here without any burden."

As for why a Chinese person would become a devil, he didn't know either. Only Heaven or he becoming the true monarch could find out.

"Why don't you go to America?" Kong Yinzi glared at Luo Feng.

If we had never met, would she have remained the same as before? Knowing nothing, understanding nothing, would life have been easier for her...?

What if there's no Luofeng Third-Tier League?

"Does America need me to wreak havoc?"

"Hmm...that's true, let's begin."

…………

Luo Feng didn't actually teleport the two of them to his bedroom; he was just teasing Kong Yinzi.

He only said that he was teleported to a room, without specifying which room; it was Kong Yinzi who made the connection herself.

When dealing with the devil, just remember one thing: they don't lie about contracts. That's enough. It's best to ignore this in general, otherwise you can easily fall into their trap.

But people who make a pact with the devil are usually either desperate or have strong desires. How many of them have the willpower to maintain their rationality?

Luo Feng's little joke just now wasn't important; it was just that Kong Yinzi felt that Luo Feng, with his integrity, was really capable of doing such a thing.

"Yukino, do you believe me now?" Yukinoshita Saori looked around the reception room, a proper Japanese-style reception room, with two cups of fine tea on the table.

"..." Yukino Yukinoshita had been sitting quietly for ten minutes. Her mother asked her three times before she came back to her senses.

Her unwavering belief in atheism, which she had held for countless years, crumbled at this moment.

The contract that had sent shivers down her spine and the instinctive warning she felt earlier made her half-convinced. The fact that she could hold out for so long clearly showed that she hadn't watched enough novels and anime.

"Is he really a devil? What kind of deal are you going to make?" Yukino Yukinoshita clutched her trousers with her bare hand.

If it were a scammer, she could take him back to the police station, but how could she take this devil?

When a bunch of police come and surround this place, who knows how far they can be sent with a snap of their fingers?

Chapter 046 Snow Mother's Rhetoric

No wonder there are so many unsolved cases in the world; it turns out that devils and angels really do exist.

Actually... sometimes it's not really the devil's fault. Luo Feng says the devil shouldn't be blamed for this. Anyone who's watched Detective Conan knows just how incompetent the Japanese police really are...

There are some really good ones, but most of them are just so-so.

Japan's overall public safety is pretty good, so it's understandable that many of these people are just freeloaders.

Anyway, it's not in China, so it doesn't matter.

“Sell my soul to save our family,” Yukinoshita Saori said softly. “But my soul isn’t enough, so I need you.”

"What will happen to the soul...?" Yukino Yukinoshita stared at Saori Yukinoshita.

“I’ll go to hell.” Yukinoshita Saori picked up the tea in front of her and took a small sip. “I never expected to go to heaven.”

She herself didn't know how many bad things she had done in her life.

Going to hell after death is probably normal, right?

It was only then that she realized that, in her family, only Yukino was likely to go to heaven after death.

Normal evildoers, if they don't sell themselves to the devil and are still under the jurisdiction of heaven and hell, might be tormented for a few days to a few hundred years after death before being released, and their sentences are based on the sins committed in their lifetime.

After reincarnation, all memories are cleared, and a new beginning begins.

If you sell it to the devil, then it will forever belong to hell, and how the devil deals with it is his business.

“I always felt there was a trap involved. At worst, I would lose the money from the firm and the stocks. We still have a small amount of property at home, plus my father’s and my salaries, which is enough to cover our expenses.”

Yukino Yukinoshita is currently the most composed member of the family. She has the least involvement in family matters, and her consideration of problems and consequences is not as profound as that of Haruno and Saori Yukinoshita.

Comparatively speaking, she had very little exposure to the darker side of her family.

In her mind, the worst that could happen was that she could start all over again.

She and her father hold public office; what can they do to them?

Yukino isn't completely ignorant, but sometimes the dark side of the world can be truly beyond imagination.

Yukino Yukinoshita's father and she herself were alright, as they couldn't make it too obvious. But Yukino Yukinoshita Haruno and Yukinoshita Saori were in a much worse situation.

Moreover, even if they really let go, Yukinoshita Saori and Haruno might not be able to live that kind of life.

“You’re thinking too simply. Without a family, there’s no room for advancement in your position. Without anyone to sponsor you, you’ll slowly become a sinecure, only needed when things get dangerous.” Yukinoshita Saori rarely calmed down to chat with her youngest daughter.

“I’m not afraid of danger.” Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head: “In this position, someone has to die. It could be someone else, why can’t it be me?”

"Tsk..." Yukinoshita Saori had a headache. What had she been taught at university? All she did was think about how to set her up on blind dates, why couldn't she just open up to reality?

Haruno is really something. Wasn't Yukino's education entrusted to her? How did she end up raising such an ignorant child?

"When you play the hero, have you considered how your family feels?" Yukinoshita Saori said.

“Don’t the other colleagues who sacrificed their lives have families? Don’t try to persuade me.” Yukino Yukinoshita said, “I don’t think this deal is right.”

“He doesn’t want your soul this time, he only wants mine. Even if you don’t sign, I will sign, but if I sign, it will only be for 100 million.” Yukinoshita Saori said, “Since you are unwilling, then I will go with your sister.”

“What I mean is, no one should sign this. This is too strange. I need to find a way to investigate,” Yukino Yukinoshita said.

"You think I haven't investigated?" Yukinoshita Saori gave a bitter smile. "Aside from mythology and movies, I couldn't find anything. His public identity is that of an izakaya owner. When I used my remaining connections to investigate, all I knew was that his deep files were top secret. I don't think even the higher-ups knew about this so-called top secret, but I believe whoever touches it will be in trouble."

“Then we absolutely cannot sign it!” Yukino Yukinoshita said.

"Yukino, you can't do this." Seeing that she couldn't persuade Yukino, Yukinoshita Saori put on her airs again, and the expression and tone she used to deal with Yukino returned to her face.

Her gaze was kind and warm, and her voice was gentle, as if she were comforting Yukino. But on the other hand, it also contained a forceful power that did not allow the other party to refuse.

She still had a smile on her face, but that smile sent chills down one's spine.

Yukino instinctively dared not resist.

Even the most powerful person, if controlled from childhood, will still have psychological trauma even when they grow up.

If it weren't for this stock market crash, Haruno would have been under Yukinoshita Saori's control, not to mention the less mature Yukino.

“You have to think about the family. Even your mother was willing to sell her soul. You’re only working for him for a year.”

"I……"

“Yukino, you know your mother’s abilities. Even though the Yukinoshita family has fallen on hard times, there are still many things I can do.”

"You mean...?" Yukino Yukinoshita's pupils contracted slightly: "I won't let you..."

"Do you think you can stop it?" Yukinoshita Saori shook her head: "Yukino, you have to listen to me. Don't you pride yourself on being a champion of justice? There's a devil right in front of you, a really bad one. No matter how many cases you solve, it's not as good as reforming this one."

"He has superhuman strength. If you can use your sense of justice to influence and change him, how much do you think he can do for the world?"

"Mom knows your dream in high school. You had a hard time because you were ostracized by weak and ugly people out of jealousy, which is unreasonable. That's why you want to change the world, including people."

"Do you think this is easier for you to do, or for him to do?"

Yukino opened her mouth, but before she could speak, she was interrupted again by Yukinoshita Saori.

Interrupting someone is very impolite, but some parents don't even think about being polite to their children.

"If you are willing to sign this contract, Mom promises that she will never ask about your future again, she will only help you get promoted, she will not choose a husband for you, she will not ask you for anything else at home, and she will not use your position to do anything."

After Yukino finished speaking, Saori sat steadily in front of Yukino: "I've already reminded you what your mother will do if you don't want to."

Rather than telling the truth, this is the negotiation style that Yukinoshita Saori excels at.

I can't be so assertive with others now, but I can still be with Yukino.

First threaten them, then reason with them, appeal to their emotions, and entice them with benefits.

For many people, doing this to a loved one is a heartless act, but Yukinoshita Saori never felt she was wrong.

She's willing to sell herself, so why would she care about Yukino's feelings?

Chapter 047? The Perfect Contract?

Luo Feng and Kong Yinzi quickly played a game of chess. Although Kong was not good at calculation, he was still more than capable of winning against Kong Yinzi in his current state.

Kong Yinzi discovered her shortcomings in her new strategy and readily admitted defeat without dwelling on her weaknesses. Once she perfects this strategy, she will surely surprise everyone, since her master and junior brother won't gossip about her playing style and methods.
