Chapter 30 Lipstick

In a room with soft lighting and elegant decoration, Kira Yoshimitsu was tasting food leisurely. When his chopsticks were about to touch the delicacies on the plate, a strange light and shadow suddenly passed by his eyes.

Then, the world around seemed to be covered with a layer of gray.

Time seemed to be gently stretched by an invisible hand, and the movements of all things became unusually slow.

"Hmm? This is? New feedback?"

“So soon?”

Kira Yoshimitsu immediately thought of his second subordinate who had recently been given [Physical Strengthening] and [Martial Arts].

The only possible outward manifestation of this bullet-time-like ability could be matched with [Martial Arts].

After all, only [Martial Arts] possesses abilities related to reaction speed.

"Hiss! It's me indeed!"

"You have such a cruel eye for people!"

"Offline No. 2 has developed new skills before encountering any difficulties!"

“What a talent!”

"It seems that I can consider investing more in the future~"

【Commercial Street】

In the bustling and prosperous commercial district, as Mother's Day approaches, shops along the street are dressed in festive attire.

They are competing to use "Mother's Day Specials" as a gimmick and are sparing no effort to promote all kinds of products.

The air is filled with the tempting aroma of snacks, and promotional slogans can be heard outside restaurants in an attempt to attract customers and make big money during this heartwarming festival.

Ryuji Takashita was carrying the vegetables he had just bought, and while thinking about the evening menu, he was walking through the commercial street and looking at the expensive goods.

Every time I pass by here, I always feel that matter completely distinguishes this world from myself.

People passing by kept spending money lavishly as if they had endless money.

Even seemingly crude handicrafts can be easily sold at several times the usual price once they are labeled as "Mother's Day Exclusive", making even the most frugal customers willing to spend money.

Of course, in Ryuji Takashita's opinion, this is not a bad thing. After all, he also likes to do some part-time jobs during such festivals.

It only takes a few days to earn several times the usual amount.

Just as he was about to move on, a sudden noise hit him.

"Don't miss it if you pass by! Our store has a special Strong King Challenge, and the winner can choose any prize! Mother's Day special offer, the registration fee is half price!

The sudden loud noise drew Takasaka Ryuji's attention.

The bulky Sledgehammer game console was placed in the middle of the store.

The sledgehammer game console is also called "smashing the hammer". Simply put, the player uses a sledgehammer or other props to hit the set receiver to test the strength.

Commonly seen in dragon balls, used to hold cups (bushi)

Prizes of different weights are placed in the display column.

Ryuji Takasaka, who was about to leave, suddenly saw a familiar brand of lipstick on the display.

His eyes lit up; he had often heard Yoko discuss this brand of cosmetics on the phone.

The most important thing is that in his opinion, that weight is a piece of cake for him!

You have to know that when he was fighting with Watanabe today, he lifted him with one hand. Watanabe weighed at least 140 pounds.

Therefore, Gao Ban Longji touched the change in his pocket, took a deep breath, and walked towards the Sledgehammer game console!

…

"boom!"

A low roar was heard, and the numbers on the test machine soared like a rocket, finally settling on a jaw-dropping number!

"Oh my god, I can participate in fighting competitions with this strength!"

"They should be high school students who have been specially trained and are preparing to enter the profession, right?"

"How do you know he's a high school student?"

“…”

"Star player? Can't you see he's in school uniform?"

The whispers of passers-by surrounded them.

The shop owner almost dropped the loudspeaker in his hand when he saw the numbers in front of him.

The record on the sledgehammer testing machine that had not been broken for years was directly updated by a large margin!

"Are all high school students such freaks nowadays?"

The shop owner took out his hand and wiped the sweat off his face, looking at the tall Gao Ban Long Er.

I was speechless for a moment.

Just a moment.

Ryuji Takasaka looked at the gift box in his hand with a satisfied look on his face, and he had already begun to imagine what expression would appear on Yoko's face when she saw this gift.

It will definitely be very happy!

[Inuyama Group Special Car]

In a dark black seven-seater business car, a greasy-faced, impatient man was frequently tapping on the laptop in his hand.

Da da!

The two men in sunglasses behind him trembled and dared not make any sound to disturb the man in front.

The screen was filled with carefully collected photos of women, and finally the man closed the computer with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Hey, Aaron! Tell me, who is the next prey?"

Upon hearing this, the man in sunglasses in the passenger seat immediately tensed up and responded cautiously.

"Team Leader Koizumi, our next target is Takasaka Yoko, oh, the woman who borrowed high-interest loans from our team to treat her illness."

"Do you remember? I remember that she almost paid off the money recently. Are you really going to take direct action? Isn't this a bit..."

Upon hearing this, Team Leader Koizumi suddenly stood up from the back seat, grabbed the sunglasses man's tie, pulled it back hard, and tied him tightly to the headrest of the seat with a rough and decisive move.

“Ahh… cough cough cough!”

The man in sunglasses suddenly felt the pain of suffocation and groaned in pain from his throat. He begged for mercy with all his might.

"Team Leader, I was wrong, please let me go!"

Only after hearing the other party's beg for mercy did Team Leader Koizumi loosen his tie. The tie instantly bounced back and hit the man in sunglasses heavily on the chest.

"You bastard! Next time, just answer whatever I ask you and don't talk too much!"

"Yes! Got it!"

The man in sunglasses covered his painful neck and coughed violently, but still tried to make his voice sound steady and responded quickly.

Vehicles continued to shuttle through the night, the roar of their engines intertwined with the hustle and bustle of the streets.

Team leader Koizumi sat back down in his seat, his eyes once again on his notebook, mentally planning the upcoming action.

He thought about the dark web order that the boss had recently received regarding Takasaka Yoko. That amount was not a small sum, so to be on the safe side he decided to send him personally.

"Humph, that woman Takasaka Yoko's loan is almost paid off, and I guess she can't make much money from it. It's a good opportunity to make some money after kidnapping her!"

Team leader Koizumi sneered in his heart. He already had a plan on how to deal with the follow-up matters.

"In Tokyo, countless people go missing every day. The Takasaka family only has her and a son. If they disappear and they let the police know, the police will stop looking for them after a year or two."

If you want to blame someone, just blame it on the fact that they are the only two of them!

If I don’t bully you, who else can I bully?

The whole of Tokyo is like a man-eating tiger. Countless people gather here for the "Tokyo Dream", but the vast majority of them will only become fuel to maintain this city.

Having said that, the price offered by the client this time is really high.

There are actually rich men who like this type of woman?

Personally, when Koizumi enjoys delicious food, he still prefers new wine that has not been opened, because he loses his appetite when he thinks about old wine that has been drunk by others.

Tsk tsk tsk!

Forget it, what those guys like has nothing to do with me, just complete the task.

Don’t think about it, as long as I can make money!

If you make money, what kind of woman can’t you find?

Remembering that Takasaka Yoko had a son, Team Leader Koizumi kicked the passenger seat hard, signaling the other party to concentrate and listen carefully to his next orders.

"Hey, when we get here, one of you stay behind to guard. If Takasaka Yoko's son shows up, stop him and don't let him get away!"

“Can it be blocked?”

“It will be blocked!”
