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

Another reason is that Kato Megumi wasn't being pursued by anyone at that time and was still at the age of budding romance. With someone constantly saying things that made her misunderstand, coupled with a series of events, it's not hard to understand why Kato Megumi would fall for him.

From Oreki Kōe's perspective, this was entirely a case of being blinded by one's own involvement.

She's an adult; she certainly wouldn't consider things from that perspective.

“All three of you, without exception, have been used by him,” said Oreki Kimie. “He has always been sacrificing for his own game. He found Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, wasting so much of their time, but he didn’t give anything in return.”

"Yes, when their game ran into problems, it was Tomoya who went to negotiate..."

"So?" Oreki Kimie shook her head. "The most crucial question is, where's the money?"

"Money?" Kato Megumi was taken aback.

"Did he ever pay you a single dollar in royalties?" Oreki Kimie asked. "Did he pay you a salary? Did he pay the other two people a salary? This isn't a small-scale operation, is it? You said you were going to make it big, and you've already sold the game, right? Where's the money? Did he share it with you?"

“This is because…” After hearing this analysis, and considering Aki Tomoya’s strange behavior today, Kato Megumi seemed to have figured something out: “So, he said he liked me because he wanted me to help him with his game? He said he liked me in the real world because he wanted to use my time?”

“Of the three, you have the lowest value. The other two have already been used up.” Oreki Kimie spread her hands and said, “He’s used you up too, and now he thinks it’s time to get rid of you.”

“But, um…” Kato Megumi frowned slightly.

She seemed to have switched to a third-person perspective, beginning to recall what had happened in the past.

"Isn't what you usually care about just salary and bonuses? Why are you so confused now?" Oreki Kimie said, "Based on the information I have so far, I can only draw one conclusion: he's a scumbag. He has a girlfriend but still contacts and even takes advantage of other women. If he doesn't break up with you, he probably won't be able to take advantage of the other two, right?"

"Simply put, you used to be useful, you were cheap labor, but now you're holding him back."

"Other women are more valuable than you."

"Then, why did he come to me in the first place..." Kato Megumi still couldn't understand it.

"If you had told him no, he probably would have gone to find someone else."

"He didn't seem to be lying at that time..."

"If a scumbag's tactics were easy to spot, would so many excellent girls be at a disadvantage?"

“This…” Kato Megumi frowned.

“It’s possible that he did it unintentionally at first.” Kong Yinzi couldn’t help but interject at this moment: “He may have been unintentionally getting close to other women and taking advantage of them, but people can change. Over the years, it’s quite possible that he went from an unconscious scumbag to a conscious scumbag.”

"Whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally before, I can't stand it anymore now."

Kato Megumi looked enlightened when she heard what Sora Ginko said.

That explains everything.

He was unconsciously taking advantage of others before. At that time, he probably didn't do it on purpose, or rather, he deliberately didn't think about it, which is why he fooled us.

After he came into contact with society and gained more experience, he changed...

Oh, I see!

After Kato Megumi figured this out, she felt much more relaxed.

What hurt her most wasn't the breakup or being dumped, but that she couldn't figure out the reason. Once she understood, she felt her thoughts were clear.

Luo Feng, however, thought completely differently from these girls; he was the one who truly knew the correct answer.

This guy is definitely a scumbag, but he probably didn't have any intention of taking advantage of Kato Megumi.

So, the question is, how do we deal with him?

So, judging from what Kato Megumi said, he likes anime and manga, right?

Luo Feng really does have the ability to send him to the so-called two-dimensional world...

As for whether he could survive in that kind of world, Luo Feng said it was none of his business.

Chapter 111 Seraphim

As the two left, Sora Ginko was still somewhat indignant, feeling that the man was even more outrageous than Kuzuryu Yaichi.

Kuzuryuu Yaichi is really stupid, but that guy is too cunning!

Even if Luo Feng has tampered with things now, what about before? Luo Feng never tampered with things before, yet he was still such a scumbag.

"Luo Feng, what will you do with that scumbag?" Kong Yinzi asked Luo Feng while tidying up the table.

"Take your time, there's no rush," Luo Feng said softly. "This is only the first stage. Everyone has something they cherish. Eriri has already lost her talent."

"Lost your talent?" Kong Yinzi was taken aback.

"Think about it, if you had fallen for another woman because of Kuzuryu Yaichi, and in order to win him over, you unknowingly exhausted your shogi skills, what would you have done?" Luo Feng said.

Kong Yinzi couldn't help but shiver.

If she loses her ability to play chess, she might as well die!

"So, they've already taken the bait, haven't they?" Kong Yinzi said to Luo Feng, "I don't care about the others, but that man must go to hell!"

"Don't worry, none of them will escape. The game has only just begun, and the actors aren't all in place yet." Luo Feng's eyes opened slightly: "This good show won't be interesting if it's only performed with humans."

…………

The Celestial Realm, the abode of the Seraph Vienne.

Lafite crossed his arms, his signature smile gone.

She clenched her teeth, her face contorted in pain, as if she were enduring some unbearable torment.

"Laffey, are you alright?" Vinnie asked with concern as she poured water onto Laffey's wings.

This is a young girl with short purple hair, purple eyes, and wearing a black coat.

Unlike Lafite, she had countless mysterious patterns on the halo above her head and three pairs of huge white wings.

This is the first tier of Heaven's fighting force, a Seraphim on par with Gabriel, Gabriel's ancestor.

She was treating Raffi's injuries and purifying the black feathers on her wings.

If an ordinary angel were to do this, they probably couldn't do it even if they exhausted all their divine power.

Luo Feng's nine lifetimes of good deeds could not withstand the karmic burden of one lifetime, which shows just how difficult it is to cure Lafite's depravity.

Even for Vinnie, this was extremely difficult, after all, even God could not stop Lucifer's fall, and Vinnie was just a Seraphim.

She used holy water and holy light for purification; the holy power seemed inexhaustible, gradually restoring Raffi's wings to their pure white state.

Her head was covered in a fine layer of sweat, and she looked quite tired.

"It's nothing..." Raffi forced a smile despite the pain.

"You'll fall into depravity if you continue like this," Vinnie said with some concern.

“I don’t need you, you demon, to say that…” Raffi said helplessly, “Don’t worry, I will transfer two-thirds of this crime to Gabriel and Satania. I tricked Satania into signing an unequal contract yesterday. As long as your Seraphim Holy Light is still there, it can help me purify.”

Vinnie was indeed a demon in the past, a demon who could make holy light reach god-like levels in Hell.

On the contrary, even if you add up the angels like Raffi and Gabriel together, they still wouldn't be as good as Vinnie.

Why a demon could be more benevolent than an angel was something Luo Feng had always wanted to complain about.

Even Gabriel, who graduated first in her class from Angel Academy, is no match for Vinnie.

“My holy light can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause…” Vinay said with some reluctance, “This kind of thing is not something we should be involved in at all. We are just young angels, while he has been famous for a long time.”

"Phew, the higher-ups are fully supporting Gabriel this time. I broke the rules by descending to the mortal realm and nothing happened, which shows their attitude." Laffey suddenly remembered something: "By the way, why was it okay when you broke the rules to purify me?"

"Huh? I'm just treating your injuries, how is that against the rules?" Vivi asked curiously. "I'm just trying to persuade you to turn back. I can't just stand by and watch you get hurt."

Lafite suddenly realized that the problem was with the starting point.

Does having good intentions mean you don't violate the rules?

Is the problem because I have selfish motives and want to help a fallen angel who has already taken shape?

Yes, I will change it later.

Isn't it just exploiting loopholes? I'm an expert at that!

Seeing Raffi's reaction, Vinnie knew that she had misunderstood again, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Why can't we do what angels should do?

In some ways, Vinay and Luo Feng have something in common: both of them act entirely according to their own hearts and do whatever they want.

The difference is that Luo Feng's heart pursues pleasure, while Wei Nai's heart always pursues how to help others.

And so, their paths diverged dramatically.

One is good, the other is evil.

…………

Eriri was at home, hugging her knees, thinking about the choice Luo Feng had given her.

Luo Feng gave her three choices, which wasn't a small number, but none of them had a good outcome.

One is about to die, another is about dragging friends down with them, and the third is about selling one's soul.

Of these three, the second one is the most cost-effective no matter how you look at it.

One person might lose a lot, but what about two, three, or four people?

If only we could find unrelated people, those unrelated people could simply buy their lifespans with money, forty people, one year each, wouldn't that solve everything?

Well... let me think of a way to see who can help me?

Lun will definitely help me. If he knew that my painting skills were ruined, he would definitely share the burden with me. He would rather give his life than watch a masterpiece be ruined because of my failure, right?

Hmm... Well then, let's ask Tomoya to come along and see what we both need to contribute?

"This is the devil's trap."

Just then, a person suddenly appeared in front of her.

She felt as if the whole world had turned golden, and only the person in front of her was white.

Hmm, she's a little chubby, she looks so cute.

She had a golden halo above her head and white wings on her back... Was she... an angel? Or was it an illusion?

“If you continue to trade, the price you pay will gradually deplete everything you have.” Raffi’s holy voice rang out: “Don’t you just want to restore your painting skills? As long as you promise me that you will never trade with the devil again, I can help you restore them.”

"Really? Really?" Eriri exclaimed with ecstasy.
