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

Hoko planned to vent all the anger she felt from being scolded by her father on Rio Miyaichi.

But not today. The police are watching, and this officer hasn't been bribed. It's time for him to put on a good acting show.

"Keep pretending!" Rio Miyaichi said angrily, "Can you swear you've never extorted me? All the money I earned this year has gone to you. You used it to buy drinks and bags. It's all my money!"

"Rio, please, please change your ways." Tears welled in Fanzi's eyes. "I've been using my own allowance; I can't possibly give you all my daily allowance..."

"Shut up!" Rio Miyaichi tried to rush forward, but she was pushed back down by the middle-aged policeman who shook his head at her.

Rio Miyaichi glared at Hoko again and continued the confrontation, but the other party just wouldn't admit it and kept playing the victim.

If the middle-aged policeman hadn't been so experienced, and had just been a young man, he might have actually been fooled by Fanzi.

He can tell because of his many years of experience, but can the general public tell?

The masses are the easiest creatures to be deceived and manipulated.

They are willing to believe any media outlet that has some authority or whose content interests them.

Even if there are smart people, how many are there?

“Sir, it’s our fault for not guiding Rio onto the right path these past few years.” Seeing that Rio Miyaichi had nothing to say, Hoko stood up and bowed to the police officer. “I don’t want the 500,000 yen she borrowed from me back then. As long as she can change her ways, I’m willing to do anything.”

"Then you bastard, turn yourself in!" Rio Miyaichi growled.

"I know she's being impulsive. I'm sorry, but I'd better not appear in front of her right now. I think she's not in a good mental state; she might be under too much pressure..." Fanzi finished speaking and walked out lightly.

Watching Mihoko Haishi leave, the middle-aged policeman sighed.

"Since this matter is settled, you should let it go too," the middle-aged policeman advised. "Continuing to talk about it won't do you any good. At least the public opinion has been established, and she can't openly harass you anymore. After you go to university... or after you start working, move to a new place, learn makeup properly, and just avoid contact with her."

"Just let it go?" Rio Miyaichi murmured. "I already paid back the money I owed; she had it stolen. As a result, I lost my recommendation spot, my mother was harassed, I might lose my job, and everyone online is talking about me, as if it's all my fault. I didn't even provoke her, and she ruined everything for me. Is that all? Is that... fair?"

"..."

The middle-aged policeman was somewhat helpless. He knew that the girl's life was ruined, but what could he do? He could only consider her unlucky.

I want to help her, but I have no evidence!

Evidence is ridiculous. Even some murderers, the most heinous criminals, who are known to have done certain things, can still be protected by the police if there is no evidence or leverage.

"I can't just let this go..." Suddenly, a person came to mind for Rio Miyaichi: the older brother with the warm smile from last night.

She had a feeling that this person could definitely help her.

She wanted revenge—revenge on Fanzi's family, revenge on that reporter, revenge on all the injustices in the world!

…………

That evening, Yukino went straight to Luofeng's izakaya after getting off work.

Yinzi is still on leave today. When Yukino arrived, only Luofeng was there.

"Oh, you're here." Luo Feng glanced at Yukino and smiled. "How did it go?"

"It's nothing. I was wrong before. You really are a devil." Yukino glared fiercely at Luo Feng.

"Looks like I, the boss, will have to clean up this mess for you, a greenhorn." Luo Feng stretched. "Since you're here, get to work."

"What are you going to do?" Yukino asked excitedly.

"Get to work first," Luo Feng's indifferent voice rang out.

Yukino suddenly felt as if her body was out of control. Instinctively, she walked to Luo Feng, picked up a towel, and then, like a machine, went to the innermost part of the table and began to wipe it.

My body is no longer under my control? Is this the binding force of a contract?

She was not only unable to move freely, but she couldn't even speak.

In the past few days, Luo Feng hadn't contacted her, and when he did, he hadn't asked her to do anything, so she hadn't done anything disobedient.

But now that everything is out of her control, she finally understands just how terrifying this devil truly is.

He didn't threaten with words or force, but showed through his actions that you have to listen to me.

If you don't listen, the contract will make you listen!

That year, he could make Yukino do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted!

Yukino's mind raced, and in less than ten minutes, she regained control of her body.

She opened her mouth, gritted her teeth, and continued wiping the table.

You can't go against him at this time, otherwise you'll definitely be the one who suffers.

This feeling of not having anything under my control is absolutely awful!

She actually thought this guy liked her? Yukino thought her idea was ridiculous.

It was only 8 p.m. when a figure appeared outside the izakaya. It was that girl, Rio Miyaichi!

"Big brother..." Her expression was cold, as if her heart had died: "I messed things up..."

"So, do you want revenge? Do you crave power?"

Chapter 058? The Businessman

"Power?" Rio Miyaichi asked, somewhat bewildered. "What power?"

If it weren't for the courage Luo Feng gave her, she would have already collapsed by now.

As she left the police station, she learned about Luo Feng and Xue Nai's conversation and knew there were many problems involved, but she still came without hesitation.

"The abilities of a top assassin." Luo Feng said seriously, "I am a devil, a devil who helps people fulfill their wishes. I can give you power, the power to take revenge on them."

"Mihoko Haishi, if it weren't for her, your life wouldn't be so terrible. She deserves to die!"

"Her father, if it weren't for him, he could never have raised such a daughter. He deserves to die, doesn't he?"

"That reporter, after hearing what you said and knowing how much pain you were in, still sold his conscience for money. He deserves to die, doesn't he?"

"Those who gave false testimony for her, they deserve to die, don't they?"

“Damn it, they all deserve to die…” Rio Miyaichi sat in the seat she had been in yesterday and muttered, “I’m going to kill them.”

"I know you're in pain." Yukino couldn't hold back any longer after hearing these words: "But many people are innocent! They made mistakes, but they don't deserve to die..."

boom!

"Am I the one who deserves to die?" Rio Miyaichi slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and roared, "What did I do wrong?!"

"I'll continue to help you with this..." Yukino Yukinoshita gritted her teeth, "I'll find a chance to go on a business trip there. I promise, I will definitely find evidence of that man's crimes..."

"Sister, thank you. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you." Miyaichi Rio sat down. "I know, if it weren't for you, my fate would have been much worse."

"You were too impulsive. It was also my fault last night for not agreeing on a time to act with you. I wanted to help you..."

"Ha... I'm just an ordinary person. I just want to live, I just want to live by my own efforts, I just want to support my family, get married, have children, and live an ordinary life." Rio Miyaichi looked at Yukino Yukinoshita with some confusion: "So, when I want to protect my rights, I have to rely on your rights? What is the law for anyway? Is it to help the bad guys?"

“The law itself is just, but the enforcers may not be,” Luo Feng said softly. “Rely on those useless police? Rely on those bureaucratic governments? The Japanese underworld is legal. If you want to protect yourself, if you want to protect your mother, do you know what you should rely on? Rely on your own hands. Only power is eternal, only power is trustworthy.”

As he spoke, Luo Feng walked up to Miyako Rio, sat down, and smiled, "If this big sister agrees, I'll take thirty years of your lifespan, plus your soul, give you the abilities of a top assassin, provide you with weapons, and guarantee you the power to take revenge."

"When the time comes, if they want to retaliate against you and take legal action against you, you can reply to them: Where's the evidence?"

"Don't worry, I'll give you more than just power; I'll also give you the experience of a top assassin, ensuring that those incompetent bastards in Hokkaido won't be able to find anything."

"No, you're being too impulsive right now," Yukino Yukinoshita quickly stopped her. "Even if the mastermind really deserves to die, you can't hurt so many innocent people, they...they..."

"Not a crime deserving of death?" Rio Miyaichi looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, stood up, walked up to her, and with a thud, did a full-on dogeza (prostration). "Please, I beg you, thirty years of my life, my soul, I'll give anything, I just want revenge!"

"Do you know what it means to give up your soul?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked anxiously, "It means you'll go to hell after you die and be tormented forever..."

"So what!" Rio Miyaichi shouted, "I just want power, please... otherwise, otherwise I can't do anything."

“I’m a police officer. I can’t stand by and watch you break the law, nor can I become an accomplice to evil,” Yukino Yukinoshita said decisively.

"Police? Crime? So that's how it is. So you're all in cahoots..." Rio Miyaichi murmured, "So, the people you're protecting are bad guys..."

Upon hearing her voice, Yukino Yukinoshita felt a sharp pang in her heart.

I prevented her from taking revenge...

Emotionally, I shouldn't have done that.

Legally, I have to do this!

In the past, when her mother asked her to do something using her position of authority, she never felt as conflicted as she does today.

For the first time, she knew what a true dilemma was.

She pressed her hand to her chest, her face pale: "If you want to make a deal, then make the deal. Why make me make this decision?"

poof...

Yukino knelt on the ground, speechless.

"Big brother, please, please..."

bang, bang, bang...

Her forehead slammed violently against the ground, each slamming as if she were exerting all her strength.

If Luo Feng hadn't stopped her, she might have been knocked unconscious, or even killed.

“Child, she’s just a hypocrite. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have let her make this decision. What can a policewoman do besides protect those evil people?” Luo Feng raised his hand to stop the girl who was kowtowing. “Since she doesn’t dare to make this decision, and since she can’t seek justice for the common people, then let me do it.”

"Yukino, do you understand now? The meaning of the devil's existence."

"If a country is absolutely just, then there is no room for evil to exist, because everyone has the law to follow and will not seek the help of evil."

"But look at the situation now? Without the devil's help, how will she take revenge? By your power, or by Japanese law?"

"What a joke..."

A contract appeared before Rio Miyaichi, clearly stating the price she would have to pay and what she would gain.

She trembled as she looked at the hellish scene in her mind: "Will Yu Shimei, like me, be forever trapped in hell?"

"I don't know, but I can guarantee that the people you killed will go to hell. As for how many years they'll be punished, that's none of my business," Luo Feng said softly. "Are you still willing to sign?"

"I do!" Rio Miyaichi gritted her teeth and pressed her finger on it.

The contract is established!

She felt a force flowing through her limbs and bones, her experience with various firearms, her criminal skills, and even the cold-hearted mentality that Luo Feng had given her as an extra gift, all of which were stimulating her brain.
