Chapter 156: Frenzy

It was impossible to refuse the golden house that was delivered to his door, but if he accepted it so easily, it would seem that he was a little petty, so Douma could only wave his hands in disapproval: "How can I accept this?"

Regardless of whether Douma was truly embarrassed or pretending to be embarrassed, Karasuma Sho really wanted to give him a gift that could maintain their relationship, and the more expensive the better.

After all, this is the only way to fully demonstrate his sincerity. If he hadn't been concerned about the pungent smell of copper, Karasuma Shoma, who was already surrounded by enemies, would have even wanted to donate part of the group's shares to Douma for free in exchange for the protection of His Excellency the Transcendent.

"You are too polite. It is my honor that the Mansion of Dusk has your favor. Please do me the favor and give me a chance to please you." Karasuma Shoma was very humble, with an unskilled flattering expression on his face.

Although Karasuma Shoma managed to escape the catastrophe this time and did not die under his uncle's conspiracy, the auction that he regarded as his last straw was still successfully ruined by his uncle. He saw that he did not have enough liquid funds to repay the loan, and the part of his shares that he mortgaged would be taken by the bank and fall into the hands of the uncles in the family who were eyeing him covetously.

Normally, the bank would not be so pushy towards a quality customer like Karasuma Shoma, but his uncles and aunts with wider connections were secretly working together to put pressure on the bank, not giving him any grace period and requiring him to strictly follow the time in the contract.

As for holding another auction as soon as possible to quickly cash in on the antiques and real estate he inherited, let alone.

The unlucky incident that happened tonight alone almost implicated quite a few high-ranking and powerful people. Those people will definitely not patronize him again in the short term. In this case, Karasuma Sho was really forced into a desperate situation. No wonder he was so eager to show his courtesy to Douma.

If Douma, who holds a high status in Japan, could show some affection for Karasuma Shoma on the outside, those opportunistic bank managers and their employers would certainly reconsider the fulfillment of the contract, and the deadline around Karasuma Shoma's neck would be broken.

So, Douma, who had no intention of refusing in the first place, said a few simple polite words and then, under Karasuma Shouma's kindness, reluctantly (? ) accepted the Dusk Mansion offered by the other party.

After receiving such a valuable gift, Douma's eyes became complicated as he looked at this newly minted super spendthrift.

To be honest, the new head of the Karasuma family is a real loser, but he also seems to have some luck.

Regardless of whether Karasuma Shouma himself knows the true value of the Mansion of Dusk, as the recipient of it, Douma is still grateful. After all, he is not a devil, and he should give something in return if he has received a benefit from others.

At least in the upcoming turmoil within the Karasuma family, keeping Karasuma Shoma's position as the head of the family is a basic operation. Some subsequent cooperation will depend on whether Karasuma Shoma is interested enough.

Anyway, if the Port Mafia wants to continue to develop and expand, going to Tokyo to occupy territory is the inevitable development in the future. It doesn't matter who they choose as a partner. But for Karasuma Shoma, it is completely different.

"Make way, please make way." Karasuma Shoma, who was also very aware of this, behaved very attentively, like a waiter who had received a large tip, nodding and bowing to clear the way for Douma, without any trace of the arrogance of a rich young master that he had been reluctant to let go of before.

Douma readily enjoyed the other party's hospitality and generously expressed the goodwill that Karasuma Shoma expected of him when he gave him a large sum of money.

All of this was seen by those in the know who were watching closely, and it was a terrible thing.

It was just an old country villa, but the brainless Karasuma Shoma was able to win the favor of the Transcendent One. Such a well-planned transaction would make anyone want to try their hand.

The heads and heirs of the big families, who originally did not dare to gather around, immediately gathered towards Douma like cats smelling fish, and each of them wanted to display all their assets in front of the transcendent master for him to choose from, in order to win a good impression.

"Sir, I have a very well-maintained house in Kyoto. Perhaps you would like to see it?"

"Mr. Tongma, the global limited edition sports car just launched by XXX is very suitable for your temperament. I have successfully ordered one. If you don't mind, I will have someone send it to you immediately."

Douma was almost drowned by the flattering voices. The ogre's superhuman five senses became a torture at this moment. He frowned uncomfortably and glanced at those who tried desperately to give him money. In their expectant eyes, he politely declined, "Sorry, I won't accept the reward without any merit. I appreciate your kindness."

“No, no, no, we were rude.” There was clearly a hint of smile in Douma’s voice, but for some reason, all the people who had gathered around to give him gifts took a step back without saying a word, making way for Douma. They no longer dared to go beyond the line, and could only scatter around Douma like before, vaguely surrounding him.

It is extremely rare to see people rushing to present generous gifts but being politely declined.

Especially as the new head of the Karasuma family who inherited most of the Karasuma family's wealth, the young Karasuma Shoma has a considerable presence in Japan's wealthy circle. Now that he deliberately behaves like this, it naturally attracts a lot of attention.

Some people who still don't know Douma's identity are trying very hard to find out the truth, but they are frustrated by the tacit concealment of those chicken-thieves who want to maintain their information advantage.

However, such a development was obviously not in Karasuma Shojin's interest. He rolled his eyes, raised his arm to lead the way, and deliberately said loudly: "Sir, the Transcendent, please come this way."

As soon as the word "Transcendence" came out, everything around him fell silent.

Those who were invited to participate in this high-end auction all had a certain social status, and most of them had vaguely heard of the concept of transcendence.

Unlike Japan, which has kept its superpowers secret because of its defeat in the war, Europe, where superpowers are most prosperous, has put the existence of transcendents on the table, and some of them even hold high positions and important posts in the government.

Under such circumstances, the social elites who pay more attention to the international situation are naturally aware of the existence of transcendents, and after careful management, they have vaguely heard that a transcendent of their own country has been born.

It's just that because this transcendent being usually stays at home and rarely goes out, most people who are not high-ranking politicians and rarely come into contact with the inner world know almost nothing about the specific information of Douma, the transcendent being.

If Karasuma Shoma had not pointed this out clearly in public just now, most of the people present would have missed such a great opportunity to get close to the Transcendent One.

After realizing this, the eyes of this group of people towards Karasuma Shoma, the unlucky guy who was almost killed tonight, became much softer. They thought that if Karasuma Shoma came to them for help in the future, they would have to repay him.

After being slightly taken advantage of, Douma simply glanced at Karasuma Shoma who suddenly became clever. In the end, for the sake of the priceless golden house, he forgave this super spendthrift who was neither stupid nor smart enough.

Forget it, just consider it for the sake of the Golden House. After convincing himself in this way, Douma suppressed Gin who was offended by him, and was the first to leave the venue under the eager eyes of everyone.

As for why he was the first, it was of course because after knowing Douma's identity, no one dared to walk ahead of him. This is very common in the hierarchical Japanese society.

After Douma's figure completely disappeared, a heated discussion immediately broke out in the meeting room where no one had left, and everyone was immersed in the honor of being able to have close contact with the Transcendent One.

He was a transcendent who could force the governments of great nations to bow down. The supernatural war that had swept the entire world was forcibly stopped by a transcendent organization called the 'Seven Traitors'. How could this not make these people extremely excited?

This would be an exaggerated performance in other countries, but it does not seem out of place in the Japanese, who have the gene of admiring the strong engraved in their DNA. Plus, with the buff of the Xie cult leader on Douma, which is so good that it can be called a bug, even the policemen who had not had time to withdraw were excited and their faces turned red.

Only Kudo Shinichi, who was also surrounded by a halo, and Furuya Rei, who was overflowing with justice, could barely maintain their current calm state. Of course, if they didn't leave this venue full of xiejiao (crossed out) enthusiasm quickly, who knows what the result would be.

After all, human herd mentality is deeply rooted.

Douma, who returned with great success, did not know or care about what happened after he left. He was already getting used to the miserable life surrounded by believers. (bushi)

After returning to Yokohama with Gin, Douma found Dazai Osamu, who was full of conspiracies and good ideas, and gave him full authority to go to Tokyo to occupy new territory for their port mafia and deal with Karasuma Shoma.

"I can only feel at ease if I leave this matter to Dazai-kun." Like every unscrupulous boss who is good at painting cakes, Douma gradually became proficient in flattering others and pushed the document recording all the current movements of the Karasuma family in front of Dazai Osamu.

Dazai Osamu picked up the document without comment, lowered his head and quickly read it, then slowly planned for his own welfare: "This is not easy to do. I am following your arrangement and studying at Yokohama University. I can't spare the time to go to Tokyo~"

The rippling ending fully exposed Dazai Osamu's true appeal. Douma looked silently into the pair of iris-colored eyes that were raised to look at him, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised a gentle arc: "It doesn't matter. I think with Dazai-kun's ability, it shouldn't be a problem for him to transfer to a university in Tokyo, right?"

It was clearly a question but Douma turned it into an affirmative sentence. Dazai Osamu puffed up his cheeks unhappily because he didn't get a satisfactory answer. This young man who is already in his twenties still occasionally shows childishness that is not suitable for his age.

Only when others carefully observe those iris-colored eyes without a trace of smile, can they not be fooled by Dazai Osamu's extremely hypocritical appearance at the moment, and see through the cold nature of this black mud spirit.
