Chapter 75 Coercing me into helping you pursue China
“The world is so unfair,” Lei said.
Karasuma Renya seemed to empathize with Lai, and continued, "Yes, good people don't get rewarded, but evil people live on for a thousand years. Why should someone like me, who does all kinds of evil, have such good luck?"
Lei was amused by his shamelessness.
"Do you remember what I said before? I've never failed to get what I want. I can make Kudo Yu work for me, and I can make you work for me too."
Ray walked to the door, opened it, and immediately two guns were pointed at him, forcing him to retreat.
He surveyed his surroundings, confirming that he indeed had no chance of escaping.
Karasuma Renya, on the other hand, seemed completely unconcerned that Lai would not cooperate. She even pointed to the dishes on the table: "Want some? Bluefin tuna sashimi, it's hard to afford that on an FBI salary, is it?"
"I'm not that poor."
"This is a 225-kilogram bluefin tuna, and the freshest part was specially made into sashimi."
Upon hearing this, Lei paused for a moment, then immediately went to the table and actually ate a bite of sashimi, savoring the delicious taste in his mouth.
Karasuma Renya looked at Lei with even greater satisfaction.
"You're very brave; you're qualified to stand beside me."
"It's not that I'm bold, it's that I understand there's nothing I can do right now, I can only let things take their course. Your so-called 'standing by your side' probably isn't fair cooperation, is it?"
"How about becoming my subordinate? Your skills are barely enough to be a security guard at the manor; you could stand guard in the study."
Ray lifted his eyelids slightly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
Karasuma Renya must have many capable people under his command.
Although the study is also a very important place, the fact that he couldn't get close enough to protect her, despite his skills and sniping abilities, is not meant to belittle him, but rather to demonstrate the immense power Karasuma Renya is hiding.
No wonder he was able to hand over the organization he had run for so many years; it turns out he had even greater resources.
"Just in the study? I don't think much of it."
“Originally, you could only stand guard at the door. Being assigned to the study is already a privilege, after all, you have abilities that I value.”
Ray thought for a moment, then asked with a playful tone, "Winning a woman's heart?"
A hint of interest flashed in Karasuma Renya's eyes as he nodded slightly to Laiyi.
Lei took a deep breath, his expression turning serious, and his tone becoming stern: "Stop with your tricks, Karasuma Renya, what exactly do you want from me?"
“I didn’t originally intend to catch you. I set up this table of food today because I wanted to invite Chika, but Baijia is too disappointing and couldn’t find a place for Chika.”
Ray suddenly realized that he had seen Bacardi before he lost consciousness.
It was him.
Oh no! Gin trusts Bacardi a lot, and Bacardi turns out to be one of Karasuma Renya's men. China is in big trouble.
"Is Bacardi one of your people?"
Karasuma Renya tapped his head with his finger.
Ray understood: "Brainwashing. You brought me here to brainwash me, didn't you? No, if you really wanted to brainwash me, you wouldn't need to waste your breath talking to me here."
"Brainwashing changes a person's thinking and personality, just like liqueur. His current dull and obedient appearance is the effect of brainwashing. Bacardi is another example. He is not usually one of my people. Only when the brainwashing mechanism is triggered at specific times will he do some things for me, but the memories between the two personalities have been erased by me."
"So once you brainwash me, the personality that obeys your orders still won't be able to give you the answer."
“If I want to ask you something, you will of course tell me the truth, but coaxing a girl requires a very flexible mind. The help you can get from brainwashing is definitely not as good as you are now.” Karasuma Renya rested her chin on her hands and looked at Lai with a smile: “Because of this, I will give you preferential treatment and allow you to appear in front of me with your original will. Others are not so lucky.”
"Since you're so capable of brainwashing everyone, why don't you just brainwash Chika and make her obey you?"
Karasuma Renya's expression suddenly changed.
His eyes were sinister, his face grim, and his threat, almost squeezed out between clenched teeth, was: "Shut up, you bug!"
"insect?"
"Humans are uncivilized paramecia, natural NPCs, who have been working for me since birth." Karasuma Renya stood up and said loudly, "Whether you resist or struggle, it is all meaningless, because your existence is only to please me."
Lei felt nauseous, but his expression remained calm.
"Do you know what it means to be favored by fate? I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. My parents bought a growth fund for me on the day I was born, and it increased thirty-six times in five years!"
This is a number that is almost impossible to achieve.
"I randomly picked a stock, and after buying it, my entire family rose to a higher social class. I was only seven years old at the time."
"It's the same with going to school. Even if I don't study anything, the final exam is still as simple as one plus one. I can easily get a perfect score."
"I can go to school whenever I want, and school will be closed when I don't want to go. Even the weather will change according to my wishes, and I can easily achieve immortality."
Karasuma Renya pointed at Lai, cold and tyrannical: "Whether it's you or anyone else, your existence is only to better serve me. You are inherently inferior to me. What are you if not uncivilized paramecia?"
Lei listened quietly, then suddenly asked, "What about China?"
“Of course she’s different from you.” When mentioning Chinatsu, Karasuma Renya’s eyes softened and her voice became gentle: “I’ve been watching her for a long time. She has the same luck as me. Whether she’s playing cards or buying lottery tickets, she never loses. Even if she occasionally encounters trouble, those troubles are resolved in unexpected ways. She doesn’t have to do anything. Her life is as smooth as mine.”
"She's not as successful as you; she's always been controlled by the organization."
"That's because of me. We're the same kind of people, but luck varies. China may not be as lucky as me, but she's the luckiest person I've met in all these years."
"That's magic."
“What’s wrong with using magic? She’s also absorbed Ran Mouri’s luck, that cute little thing. She’ll definitely become even luckier until she can stand shoulder to shoulder with me.”
madman!
Lei couldn't understand Karasuma Renya at all. Just because he had a smooth life, he thought he was superior and that everyone else in the world was just an NPC serving him.
Ambitious, antisocial personality... Lai had thought about these things, but he never thought that Karasuma Renya was a complete madman.
How could someone be mentally unstable to be able to build an organization into a large and powerful one, and even have a powerful Raven Legion after abandoning the organization?
Karasuma Renya is right. Good people don't get good rewards, but evil people live on for a thousand years. How can the world's fortune be pinned on such a madman!
"Teach me, Ray, tell me how to win China's heart?"
“Impossible.” Lei refused firmly.
Karasuma Renya smiled and used the remote control to turn on the large screen in the room.
The large screen is displaying a split-screen video.
Ray's expression changed completely.
Mother, Hideyoshi, Masumi.
He suddenly looked at Karasuma Renya and slowly clenched his fist.
"Who should we start with? Let's just blindfold ourselves and pick anyone." Karasuma Renya closed his eyes, his finger dangling randomly, and he pointed to the image of Akai Mary.
Ray immediately became alert: "What are you going to do?"
Karasuma Renya smiled but did not answer.
Mary Akai was walking down the street, and despite being an elite member of the CIA, she seemed completely unaware of the cameras.
Just then, a sudden change occurred.
A speeding truck suddenly veered towards Mary Akai, but fortunately Mary Akai reacted quickly enough and narrowly avoided the truck, her face turning pale with shock at the sudden crisis.
Lei could no longer hold back and kicked Karasuma Renya, but his leg cramped up midway and he fell to the ground.
The scene continues, with Mary Akai desperately dodging a truck but unable to avoid a car hurtling towards her. Mary Akai's body flies out like a kite with a broken string.
"Stop!" Lei roared angrily, "Karasuma Renya, stop!"
"So you agreed to my request?" Karasuma Renya asked Rai with a smile.
"You had my mother killed, and you expect me to help you?" Ray said angrily.
Karasuma Renya nodded confidently.
“That’s right, I had your mother run over. I don’t care whether she lives or dies. Even if she dies, are you really going to fight me to the end?” Karasuma Renya pointed to the two screens next to him and asked Lai, “If one isn’t enough, I can kill your brother. If your brother’s death still doesn’t make you compromise, I’ll kill your sister. Even if they’re all dead, I can still have you brainwashed. You should know that I’m not brainwashing you just because I don’t want to affect the outcome, but it doesn’t mean I can’t do it.”
Ray's legs were cramping, but his heart was hurting even more.
Karasuma Renya was right. He didn't care about their lives at all. To Karasuma Renya, those three people were nothing more than ants that he could easily crush.
If he dies...
"If you die, they will all die. You don't understand that, do you?"
Lai's death wish vanished instantly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Save her, save her immediately. I can give you advice, I can help you pursue Qian Nai, but save her right now."
Karasuma Renya nodded in satisfaction, seemingly addressing someone else: "Did you hear what he said? Save people."
In the scene featuring Mary Akai, someone immediately picks her up and puts her in a car, and then all three screens close simultaneously.
Karasuma Renya was still in a good mood and sat back down in her original seat, smiling as she invited him, "Keep eating, Ray, don't miss out on this good meal. As long as you can help me win over Chika, I certainly won't treat you badly. I can give you information to Gin's intelligence group, or I can sell out the organization to you for a promotion and a raise, or even push you to become the head of the FBI. Good days are waiting for you in the future."
Lai limped to his feet, his face showing no sign of wavering after being tempted, and his eyes fixed on Karasuma Renya with undisguised hatred.

Author's note: Matsuda's high fever was because Karasuma Renya wanted to capture Chinatsu, but Chinatsu luckily escaped.
Unfortunately, Lei couldn't escape it.
