As if he had anticipated that Shuichi Akai would send someone to follow him, the man in black robes took the initiative to invite Shuichi Akai:
"That's what I meant when I asked you to come with me."
"I'll take you to see her."
"Let's talk about the deal later."
"It depends."
"Maybe after this, the deal will be permanently canceled."
Hearing this, Shuichi Akai felt a little strange, but he didn't think about it too deeply.
Because at that moment, he recalled the times he spent with Akemi.
"Let's go."
Don't forget to pay the bill.
After finishing speaking, the man in the black robe got up from his seat and walked straight towards the entrance of the coffee shop.
Shuichi Akai took out a sufficient amount of money from his pocket, placed it on the table, greeted the clerk, and then left the coffee shop.
The man in the black robe was waiting for Shuichi Akai in front of the coffee shop.
Passersby turned their curious gazes toward him.
He didn't care about those looks.
Upon seeing Shuichi Akai emerge from the coffee shop, the man in the black robe walked in one direction, with Shuichi Akai following closely behind.

"As someone who intends to do business with you, I am very sincere."
"I haven't set any traps for you, so you can rest assured."
"And who are you?"
"Shuichi Akai, how could my little tricks possibly affect you?"
A barrage of flattery was offered, but it didn't achieve the desired effect.
As another thousand-year-old fox, Shuichi Akai calmly said:
"That's hard to say."
"I'm just an ordinary person."
"There are many things that can kill me."
"If I were in the epicenter of a bomb blast, and the blast was powerful enough, I would die too."
As he spoke, he made no attempt to conceal it by taking out his phone in front of the man in the black robe and sending a retreat order to the two people behind him.
After putting his phone away, Shuichi Akai thought of Akemi again.
His eyes revealed both guilt and expectation.
