Chapter 149 The Heartless Merchant
Little Kaito: "..."
A hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
That's true, there's a tuition fee for becoming an apprentice.
"How about... you wait for me, I'll go back and ask?"
The man casually adjusted his glasses, glanced at him slowly, and said, "Then why should I wait for you?"
“That’s true…” Kaito thought for a moment, then took out a cell phone from his bag and made a call.
As soon as the call connected, he went straight to the point: "Grandpa Terai, could you come to xx dessert shop?"
Then she looked at the man seriously and said, "In that case, I'll have tea with you."
Tsk, this kid has been clever since he was little.
As the man put down his empty teacup, an elderly man with hair that wasn't completely white walked into the dessert shop.
Kaito waved excitedly at him, "Grandpa Terai, over here!"
Terai Kinosuke walked over to him and nodded to the blond man. "Hello, sir, this child is still young. If he offends you..."
Kaito Kuroba: ...
He tugged at the old man's sleeve to stop him from continuing his nonsense.
The man smiled happily.
"Ahem!" Kaito coughed awkwardly twice. "Well, Grandpa Terai, I called you here to discuss tuition fees..."
Terai Huangnosuke:?
"Tuition fees? What tuition fees?"
"Tuition for magic!" Kaito asked expectantly.
Terai Kinosuke glanced at him, furrowed his brow, and finally looked at the blond man, "Excuse me, how much is the tuition?"
The man straightened his white gloves and cufflinks, his refined smile unchanged. "The tuition fee is negotiable, but I only want gemstones. I'll teach you any magic trick, whatever the value of the gemstones is."
Kaito Kuroba: ? Jewel?
Terai Huangnosuke: ...Gem? !
"Why...why is it a gemstone?" Kaito asked, his tongue a little tied.
"Because the children in my family all love gemstones."
The man's expression remained unchanged.
Kaito Kuroba stared wide-eyed, somewhat incredulous, "How old is your child?"
The man thought for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Around ten years old."
Kaito quickly composed himself, and let out a soft "Aww~"
...
"What are you thinking about, Mr. Kaito?" A magnetic and gentle voice suddenly woke him from his reverie.
Kaito Kuroba was startled and moved aside a little, looking at the blond man who had been sitting silently on the sofa next to him for ten years without changing.
He glanced at her with half-moon eyes, then moved the gift box on the table over there. "Here, the reward for 'saving my life'."
Watching the man open the gift box and pick up the red gem that shimmered with a faint glow, Kaito Kuroba kept his eyes half-moon-shaped and asked, half-sarcastically, "You said it was because the kids in your family all love gems, but are you sure this isn't for you to use yourself?"
R glanced at the gem, put it back in the box and put it away, then smiled at him, "Those children certainly like gems too."
Looking at the smiling tiger in front of him, Kaito Kuroba muttered to himself, "I thought he was a good person back then!"
It turns out he was actually a heartless businessman!
Heartless!
He cursed inwardly, but outwardly he said ingratiatingly, "Um, Professor R, could I have another help gem?"
"Seek help from the gem? What danger could you possibly be in?" R glanced at him with a faint smile.
"Ahem, wasn't that dangerous last time..." Kaito Kuroba muttered under his breath.
