Do you like Yu-Gi-Oh even if it's like this?

“I think there’s another identity that prevents you from turning a blind eye to letting your kids drink.”

I held up a finger.

"For example—a father."

........................................................................

Yae is... Take's father.

I knew it when I saw the company name.

After enjoying a candlelit dinner with Lian, we were entertained by Yae - he originally thought that it could be postponed to another day, but considering Alice's pathetic teaching ability and preparation speed, I still hope to get some preparations done today.

"——Besides, I am also interested in your daughter, as I have speculated."

"This is... really frightening - it's just right, I asked them to take out the ice wine from the wine cellar so that we can drink it when we arrive."

Eight key points⑨隣嘶∧⑻」⑷⑵9”∽０5肿☆zhuＡnqＵＮ: nodded.

We can't just leave Lian alone who has been silent since a while ago... Let's take her to meet the people she will know in the future.

At this point, judging from the small changes in history, it is still worthwhile to experiment.

——However, I don’t know when and where Lian and Zhu met each other.

"..."

Lian was really shy when she was little, and the way she huddled behind me made me feel that the bandaged man was exactly the same as he is now... Well, it seems like the bandaged man doesn't meet people very often, so that's okay.

From time to time, I would feel the same "strangeness" as when I first met her, but after spending more time with this child, this strangeness gradually faded.

I guess it was something that was the embryonic form of murderous intent—the malice I felt before was also within its scope.

She would later refine it into a blade, but now it was just a crude paper knife.

Adults may not be able to feel it at all, but for children... depending on the inspiration, it won’t take much time to go from fear to counterattack.

To verify this hypothesis...

"Well, I think my students would also enjoy interacting with your children more."

——The social etiquette that seemed really difficult to me in the past has now become a part of social interaction.

Although in my opinion, the people in society who cooperate with me in this mess are also exhausted physically and mentally.

............................................................

Villa in the suburbs.

——I don’t see the villa often...at least not since I came back from North America.

Although villas are often said to be some kind of high-end product, there are people who grit their teeth and buy villas between the daily necessities of the rich and the insulation products of the poor - although everyone has only one life, and high-end and low-end card decks are also for fun... high-quality workmanship cards are by no means without value.

(Come to think of it, can I collect some cards now and sell them...?)

I kind of regretted not checking the latest card prices before coming here - this statement is more like what the store manager and Mu Dongren think.

After getting out of the car at a garage that looked like a good place to listen to music, I patted my clothes in the hope of getting rid of the smell of cologne in the car... If Alice woke up and found herself smelling like this and asked me if I was selling my body, I wouldn't be able to answer her.

"Xiao Zhu, why is it you? Where is Qing?"

However, Yae, who was walking in front, trotted to the door and was a little anxious about the little girl in the wheelchair who came to greet her.

"My sister..."

——So that’s how it is. The sisters are named Qing and Zhu… Are these really good names?

"My sister's... the situation is quite complicated. Dad, please come in."

The blind girl turned her wheelchair and moved inside with ease.

It was a little dark, and I hadn't had a chance to get a closer look at the girl who would inherit her father's company seven years later.

——However, when I passed by the door...I did confirm that it was opened by abnormal means.

Each deck can have up to three cards of the same name:

Chapter 267 4 It is human nature to harbor resentment

"I'll give you a drink for coming here uninvited - oops, did I bother you?"

Walking through the corridor covered with plush carpets, there is a reception room at the end.

The tea table in the center of the room has rounded corners thanks to its anti-fall design.

——In a place like this, it can be seen that this villa seemed to have been built after Zhu was born... At least, it took the living of disabled people into consideration.

At the end of the round tea table... was a little girl with black hair and a woman with droopy eyes.

"I didn't expect you to bring a woman home - wouldn't that be bad for our daughter? Mr. Yae?"

The woman with drooping eyes poured herself a drink from the teapot while speaking teasingly to Yae.

"...Don't joke with me, Xiang - this is Alice, the teacher who just came back from abroad."

"I know! Dad, you said that the person you bring back next time will be someone who can become our teacher!"

At the tea table, another little girl who was about the same age as Zhu seemed completely unaware of the subtlety of the atmosphere and looked at me with shining eyes.

"...Sister, don't get so excited about the guests."

In the wheelchair beside her, Zhu knocked on the armrest - compared to seven years later, her expression now was almost unchanged.

How did this paralyzed and weak loli grow up...

"Gu..."

——Well, the shy little kid hiding behind me right now can grow up to be Udumbara. Nothing is impossible.

Compared to this, what I care more about is... neither Zhu nor the child named Qing seems to look like Yae at all.

Qing is better, at least she has black hair, but Zhu's blond hair doesn't look like a local.

"Well, Miss Alice - could you please take them to the next door to play for a while? I have something to talk to this lady."

The elegant man looked somewhat depressed, wondering what this woman was doing here...

However, I have a solution.

I took the three children out of the door and followed Qing's instructions to the... bedroom on the side.

Walking into the door, I sat down along the corner, under the puzzled gazes of the three children——⑶

"Sorry, I'm a little tired, can you let me sleep for a while?"

"...Yeah."

Zhu nodded and used his fingertips to tap on Qing and Lian, who seemed to want to say something.

——Wow, she is so good.

....................................

After completing the magic trick of escaping from the body, I flew through the wall towards the tea room.

"Last time I came here I was just saying hello - so, are you ready to pay taxes?"

"Miss Xiang, I have indeed checked all the tax items and there are no omissions."

I finally broke through the wall and watched this farce as a ghost.

The woman named Xiang stated expressionlessly, while Yae rubbed her fingers anxiously behind her back.

"Yae, this has nothing to do with oversight."

——I think I can guess the identity of the woman named Xiang...I'm afraid she is an intelligence agent.

"I do not understand what you mean."

Yae's voice was filled with doubt.

"——I can be more precise... Many things cannot be measured without weighing them, and even if they are weighed with a thousand pounds, they cannot be measured."

"For example...your two daughters."

"!"

——My heart skipped a beat.

And Yae's expression also changed.

“…You’re not a tax officer, who are you?”

It seemed that Yae's experience as a social person made him feel uneasy.

"Local finances have not been very good in recent years..."

However, Xiang did not directly respond to Yae's question.

“We need outstanding entrepreneurs to cooperate with us—of course, we will not treat you unfairly.”

"What do you want to do - no, before this, who are you?"

Yae stared at the woman in front of him anxiously.

"In general, we can't identify ourselves... we don't have that kind of thing - the way we identify ourselves is generally a little bit destructive."

The woman handed over a document, and Yae took it and read it, but his face became worse and worse - until the last page, and then he handed it back.

"……I see."

He seemed to have given up and was prepared to pay a tax that shouldn't exist.

——I shook my head. It seems... my gossip ends here.

"In fact, generally speaking, honest entrepreneurs like you will not be our targets - there are many companies that evade taxes, and we usually give priority to investigating these people."

He drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and stood up.

"Have you ever wondered why we came to you?"

"Do you need to tell me?"

Lowering my head, I could already feel his humiliation.

"Of course—the only reason is—you're a man."

“……”—My brain went blank.
