Persona: Devil Summoner

This is the difference between the truly sophisticated rich and the nouveau riche. The palaces of Madarame and Kamoshida both reflect their own "magnificence", but those fantasies pale in comparison to the VIP rooms in reality.

Let me tell you a joke: it’s like two old farmers talking about how rich the emperor is: “The emperor must use a golden hoe to farm!” “How can the emperor farm? He must eat persimmons in bed every day!” But if you really meet the emperor, you will know how ridiculous this speculation is…

The entire VIP room is filled with fine furniture, neatly arranged. The small items seem to have appeared in treasure appraisal programs, and they all seem to be antiques. However, they did not directly pave the room with gold. They even wanted to make the toilet plunger with pure gold. Otherwise, how could there be a word called "tycoon"? If it is not tycoon, then just call it "rich man"...

A gray-haired, bespectacled clerk came over, served Jiang Tianwei a cup of tea, and then politely left.

Perhaps, when many people hear the word "gangster", their first impression is the plots in the TV dramas of the past, with bare chests, tattoos, gathering together all day long to drink and gamble, and doing nothing... But if you think about it carefully, you will know that if this is true, then the gangster will not be able to continue operating, right?

In particular, although the Japanese gangs are legal, the premise of legality is that you must abide by the law. It is like selling fruit is not illegal, but if you, as a fruit stand owner, sell torpedoes, you are no longer protected by the law. While the gangs are legal, they must also abide by the law, and violent incidents have been decreasing year by year.

There are even gangs like the Kawahara Group, which first establish deterrence through unfair means, then obtain privileges through unfair means, then eliminate dissidents through unfair methods, and finally operate normally. These gangs are legendary in this bizarre way.

Based on what Jiang Tianwei saw on the surface, if you didn't know in advance that this bank had a connection with the mafia, you wouldn't have guessed it at all...

He didn't have to wait long before his legal father arrived.

Just like the last time I saw him, he was wearing a black kimono with silver lines decorating his broad back. The overall look was simple yet dignified, especially on him. His face, which seemed to be carved out of rock, further highlighted the majesty that a superior should have.

As always, he was accompanied by several clerks in black clothes. If you look closely, you can see that each of them has bulging clothes, and their suits are filled with muscles. There is no doubt that these people are good at fighting. "

"This is the first time you took the initiative to ask to see me."

When the two met, stepfather Mr. Kawahara raised his eyebrows and said calmly.

"yes.".

"What's the matter?".

"I need money urgently now."

"How many?".

"Ten million."

Upon hearing this number, the other bodyguards present couldn't help but take a breath.

Strictly speaking, if it is a loan, mortgaging a property, a loan of tens of millions is not uncommon. But in the current situation, the son comes to his father to ask for money, and he asks for 10 million? !

It’s not a question of how much money it is, but the fact that this kid actually dared to make such an impolite request to the boss directly!

“It’s not a small amount — but it’s not a large amount either.”

Stepfather Kawahara Masaaki was not at all upset, as if he didn't care at all. He neither said he would give it nor said he wouldn't give it. His poker face, which was always calm and natural, showed no emotion at all, but instead gave Jiang Tianwei an invisible pressure.

Jiang Tianwei was not stupid and immediately understood his implication: So, what is the price?

"..."

Jiang Tianwei hesitated... He took a deep breath. He had never thought that sometimes, opening your mouth would be so difficult...

"dad……"

Finally, Mr. Kawakami's thin back and extremely tired dark circles convinced him, and he finally spoke. If there is a choice, no one is willing to give up dignity. But in many cases, if giving up dignity can bring the final victory, then we should also compromise.

Jiang Tianwei thought it would be difficult for him to give in like this, but unexpectedly, his mind was clear and he analyzed the benefits of doing so one by one. His originally reluctant emotions were not as turbulent as he had imagined.

I don’t know if this is also the influence of the Great Demon Monk.

If it were him a year ago, he would never bow to Kawahara Masaaki, the leader of the Kawahara Group.

Mr. Kawahara's face, which had been as solid as a rock until now, finally showed a hint of relaxation. He smiled imperceptibly and nodded: "Yeah."

Compared to the mortgaged property such as the title deed, it was Jiang Tianwei's affectionate name that made him more happy. He still liked this stepson.

Being childless in middle age has always been a concern for him and Kawahara Group. He later married Jiang Tianwei's mother, and they should have another child, but unfortunately, Jiang Tianwei's mother also made her own request to him.

That is, to find out why her husband suddenly became disabled.

The mother could not believe how her husband could suddenly go crazy.

As a woman, she couldn't carry anything, and she had no relatives in a foreign country. It was impossible for her to seek revenge alone. Therefore, even if she was criticized, it would be better to leave a bad name in history. If she wanted to get the truth, she had to rely on powerful people or forces.

It just so happened that the leader of the Kawahara group fell in love with him at first sight, so in exchange, Leader Kawahara became Jiang Tianwei's stepfather.

He knew very well that his wife did not love him and her children were unwilling to acknowledge him.

But he doesn't care.

He is the type who must get whatever he likes.

And today, Jiang Tianwei was finally willing to call me dad.

"Someone come over here."

Team leader Kawahara asked, and someone immediately stood up. He took out a bank card from his kimono pocket and said, "Go, withdraw 10 million from my card."

The people below responded and left. After a while, he came back with a well-wrapped leather bag.

Ten million, if it were RMB, would probably be piled up into a small car, about the size of three or two children. But we all know that there is a difference in the face value of RMB and Japanese yen. The face value of Japanese yen is 10,000 per piece, so ten million may sound like a lot, but in fact it is just the size of a wallet.

"I will pay it back."

Jiang Tianwei took the bag with gratitude, counted it briefly, and closed it.

Team leader Kawahara smiled and said, "I'll be waiting."

The atmosphere seemed a bit awkward. Jiang Tianwei picked up the money and was about to leave when suddenly, Mr. Kawahara called him.

"You know what it means to call me daddy, right?"

"Ah."

"From now on, you will be the successor of the Kawahara Group. From now on, I will teach you everything about the group step by step."

"I see."

"Come over here and see your mother when you have time."

"I will."

"Let me ask you, do you have a girlfriend now?"

"Huh? No, no..."

Jiang Tianwei didn't understand why he suddenly said that and answered his question strangely.

"...Heh, nothing. I just want to tell you, young people, that you should cherish your youth."

Mr. Kawahara said this out of nowhere, and Jiang Tianwei was confused. He responded awkwardly, wondering if this was from a haiku or a literary work. After all, Japanese people like to talk in a roundabout way. There is a famous example: you can't say "I love you", but "the moonlight is so beautiful". Jiang Tianwei didn't quite understand why a gangster suddenly mentioned a romantic matter. What kind of metaphor was this? Anyway, he nodded and evaded the question.

As he watched Jiang Tianwei leaving, the smile on Mr. Kawahara's face gradually faded.

A close confidant came over and asked worriedly, "Well, team leader, forgive me for being so nosy, but he is an outsider after all. If you give him too high a salary, I'm afraid there will be strange voices in the team."

"Well, probably. But..."

Mr. Kawahara showed a proud look on his face. "If he can't even handle such a small matter, how can I trust him to hand over the entire team? Isn't this how our generation has come through? - When I took over the entire family from the old team leader, wasn't there also a lot of criticism?"

"Indeed. I made a mistake."

"Oh, right. Also, help me contact the Sakurano Group and tell them that since they like our young master, let their stubborn old man come and propose marriage himself. Humph, what kind of man is he if he only knows how to let the butler do something behind my back?"

"Yes."

Chapter 149 Sisters from Another World

In various literary works, when describing a small person suddenly getting a large sum of money, there is always a description that "the money in his hands feels heavy."

Unfortunately, Jiang Tianwei did not have this feeling. He had mentioned it before, saying it was 10 million, but in fact it was only ten handfuls of banknotes. The total weight would not exceed one pound, so naturally it was impossible to feel heavy.

(With this, I can humiliate that money-hungry couple... and then help them reform. Humph.).

When Jiang Tianwei thought about the script that was about to be performed, he felt that every cell in his body was cheering with joy.

As a person with a histrionic personality, his favorite thing to do is to perform exaggerated performances like this.

This is why he gave himself the code name actor. He is a person who is keen on this kind of gorgeous performance. It's just that in recent years, he was forced by the pressure of life to have no time to spare for these performances.

But before that, there is one more problem that must be solved...

Jiang Tianwei came to the streets of Shibuya. He now regretted why he had made the appointment at 8 o'clock in the evening. He looked at his phone and it was only a little after 7 o'clock. There was still an hour left. How could he kill time?

Jiang Tianwei was thinking about this and trying to figure out what to do when he noticed a bright burgundy color at the station entrance.

The man had a burgundy ponytail, a bright red scarf, and loose sporty clothes. It was the transition between spring and summer, and it was still a bit cold at night. If you didn't keep warm, you would easily be punished by God.

It seems that Fangze, like me, has arrived early.

Jiang Tianwei took the initiative to walk over and raised his hand to greet her.

Yoshizawa Sumire saw from afar that her senior had also arrived, and her face was startled. She then checked the time on her mobile phone and ran over happily: "Senior, you're here so early too?"

"Haha, aren't you the same?"

Jiang Tianwei also laughed and joked back. Just as he was about to say a few jokes to get closer to each other, Fang Zejin quickly interrupted him and said, "Senior, so, about my sister's matter..."

"Yeah. Junior sister Fangze, don't be anxious. Come, follow me."

Jiang Tianwei said as he opened a navigation system for another world and led Sumire Yoshizawa to the underground streets of Shibuya...

Just like before, after opening the navigation to the other world, although I still walked down the stairs, the scenery underground was completely different.

As he entered the recognition space, Jiang Tianwei's attire changed accordingly. He put on the plain white mask on his face again, and changed into a long robe that looked like a Peking Opera costume. With a command flag on his back and a sword on his waist, his gorgeous posture made him look like a hero in a drama.

It was obvious that Sumire Yoshizawa didn't expect that someone could change clothes just by going down the stairs. Normally, this kind of change of clothes happened to elementary school girls holding magic wands, but she didn't expect that men could do it too.

She was about to ask a question when she saw that there was a girl in a blue dress next to Jiang Tianwei. It was like looking in a mirror. She had a face that was almost exactly the same as hers, except that her hair color was slightly lighter than hers, tending towards dark brown, and there was a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye... and... no matter what time, she always had a smile on her face, as if nothing could defeat her sunny and cheerful inner core.

"Sister! You, you are still alive!"

Fang Ze Jin rushed forward desperately and hugged her sister tightly. Her slender arms used all her strength to hug her sister, trying to use this method to confirm the physical properties of that equally slender body, to make sure that she was not seeing an illusion or a mirage.

And Fang Zexia also hugged her sister back with a smile.

Jiang Tianwei nodded repeatedly when he saw the scene that seemed to be full of lilies in the background: a pleasing picture is pleasing to the eyes no matter how you look at it. If the scene in front of him was replaced by Kitagawa and Amamiya Ren, then he would have to be a gentleman and not look at it inappropriately.

"No, if you want to ask me if I am alive or dead, then the answer is dead."

"But, I can..."

"Hehe, this is what they call a ghost! Ghost~".

Fang Zexia said in a nonchalant tone.

Jiang Tianwei was about to say something to help, but Fang Zexia said first: "Jiang Jiang, leave this to me."

She had completely misunderstood Jiang Tianwei. Jiang Tianwei originally felt that such a sisterly conversation where the air was filled with the scent of lilies would not tolerate an interruption from a stinky man like her. She originally wanted to say, "I'll wait aside. Call me when you're done chatting." Now that Fang Zexia said this on her own initiative, he was happy not to get involved in this mess.

"I'm right here, call me if there's an emergency."

Jiang Tianwei said this because Fang Zejin once wanted to kill Fang Zexia because of her drastic emotional changes, but in the end her love for her sister overcame the mental suggestion. But who can guarantee that she will not go crazy this time?

Jiang Tianwei walked to the side, leaned against the wall, opened the mobile phone app, and was free to study the combination of demons and demons, and... the combination of demons and humans...

Meanwhile, Fang Zexia smiled at her sister and said, "Now it's just you and me.

Can you open up and say something from the heart? Of course, you can also act like a spoiled child with your sister~".

Fang Ze Xia smiled and opened her arms, as if waiting for her sister to rush in. Fang Ze Sumire was too excited at the time, and now that she has calmed down, she will definitely not do such a shameful thing.

"Um, sister... you, you are... dead..."

Yoshizawa Sumire was in a very low mood.

Never telling anyone, Sumire Yoshizawa always believed that she was the one who killed her sister Kasumi Yoshizawa.

Although the cause of death of Kasumi Yoshizawa was a car accident, the cause of the accident was that after Sumire Yoshizawa and Kasumi Yoshizawa participated in a certain competition, Sumire Yoshizawa's results were as unsatisfactory as ever, far inferior to her sister. At that time, she only felt a darkness in front of her eyes, and felt that her life was dull... Facing her sister who was comforting her, she couldn't help but say discouraging words, and then ran away.

Maybe some people can't understand it, it's just a mistake in a game, what's the big deal? But in fact, many things in this world are one small thing pushing another small thing, accumulating layer by layer, and finally crushing a good soul.

People often only see the straw that broke the camel's back, but few people analyze what the camels endured before being broken by the straw.

To give a typical example, when a child’s academic performance declines, parents often only blame games, animation, television, mobile phones, and the teacher for not teaching well enough - but they never reflect on whether they themselves are lacking in family education.

The two sisters have always been inseparable, with the same hobbies and ambitions, but all the honors in their growth process belonged to Fang Zexia. The genius girl Fang Zexia and her sister, this is the impression of the public on the sisters.

It would be a different story if Fang Ze Xia was several years older than Fang Ze Jinli. If that were true, Fang Ze Jinli would feel better and could comfort herself by saying that she was the older sister and the extra years she had lived were not lived in vain, and she would definitely be able to do it in a few years.

But they are twins, and their birth times are within a few minutes of each other... What excuse can they make?

The public's expectations, her longing for her sister, and her dissatisfaction with herself have accumulated in the girl's heart for many years. It would be strange if she didn't have psychological problems...

In fact, at that time, it was Sumire Yoshizawa herself who should have been in the car accident. It was she who rushed out regardless of everything. It was Kasumi Yoshizawa who ran over and pushed her away, so Kasumi became the victim...
