After a brief silence, the girl with nothing was actually moved.

Not only is this method of physical distance potentially problematic.

Moreover, if she called Hei Tong Xian Hu her brother-in-law, it would basically be equivalent to constantly reminding her sister of the other party and Hei Tong Xian Hu's identities.

Although it was only a little bit, this might allow her sister to listen more to what Kuroto Kanko said before taking any action for unknown reasons.

It doesn't take too much, even if it's just a little bit more, Jade feels that everything is worth it.

Jade: "Brother-in-law?"

Heitong Xianhu: "Hmm~"

He put on a serious expression and stepped forward.

And after being called out by her name, Feicui, the "three-no" girl, seemed to gradually let down her guard.

Jade: "Brother-in-law, are you going to stay here today?"

She asked the question she had wanted to ask at the beginning.

Jade didn't try to ask the question just now because she felt that asking this kind of question would bring the two of them too close.

But now, as a sister-in-law, this question can be asked easily.

Kurogane Xianhu: "I think I'll be staying overnight. Actually, I came here to ask Ms. Akiba about her knowledge of the mysterious side. We'll probably talk about this for quite a while."

He thought for a while and then explained the purpose of his visit.

After coming to Tokyo and communicating with Xier, he had planned to meet with Tono Akiba and Amber.

The main purpose is to ask the other party whether he has a unique method to control his own mind.

The technology in the mysterious world is not as popular as that in the technological world.

There are many things that top magicians like Orange and Youzhu can't do, but that doesn't mean other magicians who are weaker than them can't do it.

Every profession has its own expertise. The Tono family is a well-known demon-exorcising family in the circle. Maybe they know some talents in this field?

Volume 1: Chapter 171: Tono Akiba Worries About Gains and Losses

What is happiness like?

There are generally two answers to this question.

Among the people that Kurogane Kanko knows, Aozaki Touko believes that happiness is absolute and has a fixed form. There is no need to compare it with anyone. If you get it, you get it.

Aozaki Aoko believes that happiness is about comparison, and she always has to work harder so that she can be happier.

From this point of view, the two sisters are almost completely opposite.

Compared with these two pairs (Sister Nine, Black) Tong Xian Hu Ling and Wu Liang Yi Umbrella Style Ba here, the so-called happiness of the great spirit is probably the so-called dream of the present.

If the environment allows, they can take root in the ground and grow quietly like plants, neither retreating nor advancing. Just existing here can be considered happiness for the two of them.

Well, it sounds like this couple is no different from the Aozaki sisters in terms of psychological problems, and the former even seems a little sicker than the latter.

Tono Akiha: "There are so many different opinions."

In the villa by the lake, Miss Amber was humming a song in the kitchen while preparing desserts for the reception.

Tono Akiha leaned on the sofa in the living room and chatted with Kurogane Kanko.

The definition of happiness was mentioned by Miss Akiba when she was chatting with Kuroto Kanko.

As for what is happening in the Tono family now, Miss Akiba gave a relatively simple answer to Kuroto Kanko's question.

In the girl's own words, she was accidentally ambushed, which led to her missing out on the throne of the head of the family.

But in the end, she was lucky enough to get a good portion of the property from those guys, and also the freedom of the two maids of the Tono family.

Tono Akiha's condition was much better than Kurogane Kanhu had imagined.

Tono Akiha: "Is there a problem?"

Facing the strange look from Hei Tong Xian Hu, the proud young lady asked back in very straightforward words.

Kurogane Kanko: "Nothing, I just heard something strange, so Ms. Akiba doesn't plan to launch a counterattack against the Tono family?

Tono Akiha: "It's okay to take a break for a while. If my brother can take over the family business, it's okay to let him take over for me for a while."

The tone is casual and the words are confident.

The white dress and black long skirt are elegant and instinctively carry a superior attitude.

Every word and action is full of separation from the lower class people.

The eldest daughter named Tono Akiha is the one who best fits the description of a chaebol leader among all the people that Kuroto Kanko knows.

From her words, one can clearly feel her indifference to others and her confidence in her own abilities.

If Hier and Aozaki Touko are the so-called strong ones in the inner world, then Tono Akiha is undoubtedly the strong one in the outer world.

He is adept at all kinds of business tactics and has mastered the art of compromise.

Never show your weakness in front of anyone, and never reveal your loopholes in front of anyone.

How much worse is the competition within and outside the chaebol families than the so-called life-and-death battles among magicians?

Given Tono Akiha's status, his position is basically equivalent to the throne.

Will the treacherous ministers allow the fallen emperor to survive?

Looking at the calm and confident Tono Akiha in front of him, Kuroto Kanko suspected that the other party had actually lost the position of head of the Tono family on purpose.

So how did the other party get away with it in that situation?

It can't be that she reached some kind of deal with her brother.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously moved his gaze and looked towards Feicui who was standing next to Qiu Ye.

The three-no maid standing there seemed to have been waiting for Hei Tong Xian Hu's gaze for a long time.

She shook her head slightly when Hei Tong Xian Hu looked at her.

Jade obviously has something interesting to express.

However, Hei Tong Xian Hu was not very familiar with the other party.

This brief action made it impossible to guess the other person's cognition.

Hei Tong Xian Hu: "So Miss Qiu Ye, you don't need help in your current situation?"

Tono Akiha: "Then..."

Amber: "Ms. Qiuye can no longer afford the black tea she always wanted to drink, and the food has had to be downgraded recently."

Yuan Qi's voice sounded from far away.

Amber, who was pushing the food cart, happily pulled down the fig leaves of her two sisters.

Heitong Xianhu: "..."

He looked at Tono Akiha silently.

Tono Akiha: “…”

The elegant young lady also looked at her silently.

The two looked at each other, and the empty hall suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Kuroto Kanhu could clearly feel that Tono Akiha's body stiffened slightly.

There was silence for a few seconds.

Kurogane Xianhu: "Miss Qiuye, you are not someone who is ashamed to ask for help."

He broke the silence.

I have always treated Tono Akiha and Kurogiri Kanko as business partners.

Since you are business partners, it is better to speak frankly at this time.

Tono Akiha: "Forget it, I'll just be frank about this."

Shaking her head, the eldest daughter of the Tono family glared at Amber and then dropped the air of a wealthy chaebol daughter she had been wearing.

Toono Akiha: "I have no plans to return to the Toono family. I'll just leave family matters to my brother. As for the financial issues, I'm still adjusting because my old connections will be affected if I leave the Toono family. You don't need to worry about that, Kurogiri."

Staring at the Kurotoshi Lake in front of him, Tono Akiha stared at Kurotoshi Lake with his azure eyes, and explained his recent situation very seriously.

After communicating with Tono Akiha in this attitude, Kuroto Kanko finally realized the wonderful feelings that Tono Akiha exuded towards him.

Is that rejection, vigilance, or... hostility?

Heitong Xianhu: “?”

He couldn't help but feel a little confused for a moment.

However, Amber came and sat next to him with a smile, feeding him the cookies she had made herself.

The doubts in Hei Tong Xian Hu's mind were basically answered.

Because Tono Akiha's eyes basically never left Amber.

This capable chaebol leader, who was in Kuroto Kanko's impression, always seemed to break down in front of Amber.

Specifically, it should be that the other party cares too much about Amber.

No, it's not just Amber that she cares about. The maids, Jadeite and Amber, are both people she values ​​particularly.

Only at times like this would Tono Akiha's defense break down.

Amber: "Although Miss Qiuye tried very hard, when she left the family, in order to completely cut off my and Feicui's ties with the Tono family, this villa was already her only property. If Master Xianhu hadn't shown up, we would have had to sell the house next."

Tono Akiha: "Selling the house doesn't matter. The money I get from this villa is enough for me to run my business and have enough money to live on."

The young lady expressed her thoughts in a confident and matter-of-fact tone.

And accompanied by the conversation between the other party and his maid.

The reason why Tono Akiha showed hostility towards her was also completely revealed.

Amber and Jade, who were originally maids, have completely broken away from the Tono family thanks to the efforts of Tono Akiha.

Then the problem is coming.

Without this restraint, why would they have to stay with Tono Akiba?

Heitong Xianhu: "..."

So humans are really strange individuals, aren’t they?

Akiha Tono's business style is cold and decisive.

This can be seen from the moment he started helping the "black teacher" find a company, directly stepping on the edge of illegality, and even directly finding ordinary people to be scapegoats.

He is known for his ruthlessness in Tokyo's business circles.

There are countless people in Tokyo who have gone bankrupt and lost their jobs, secretly cursing this chaebol daughter.

Living in the Tono family and raised as the helmsman of a chaebol, Tono Akiha really doesn't care about people he doesn't care about.

But he seems to be too easy to control when it comes to the people he cares about.

Logically speaking, a person born into a chaebol family should only care about profits. After helping Amber, Hisui and the Tohno family to untie themselves, they should put shackles on them again.

In other words, don't talk about freedom at the beginning of the negotiation, just talk about transferring the use rights of the two maids to yourself.

This kind of thing would not even attract the attention of the two maids during the conversation.

Having been raised as maids since childhood, they probably wouldn't even think about freedom itself.

But Tono Akiha just gave complete freedom.

After she gave him freedom, she was now afraid that Hei Tong Xian Hu would snatch Amber away, so she was always on guard against him, and even adopted an alternative attitude of showing off her power when she entered the door.

So the question is, what exactly does Miss Akiba want?

She couldn't possibly be trying to shed her status as a young lady and become friends with the two maids.

Emmmmm...

If you think about it carefully, it is not impossible given the other party's condition.
