Tokyo: My debt collection methods are a bit off.

Ran Yamada

If you open your eyes and look at me, I don't believe you have empty eyes.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Yamada Ran's voice suddenly sounded a little irritated.

The plump, white glutinous rice ball seemed to be throwing a tantrum, bouncing up and down with a thud.

"I didn't take my phone." Hoshino Jun smiled and turned to leave the office.

That's it.

It's Wednesday today, so there's still some time.

Let's plant a seed first.

We'll administer another strong dose of medicine tomorrow.

School in the afternoon.

Jun Hoshino went to the library first and read books with Ayako Saionji as usual. The afternoon was very peaceful.

Ayako Saionji was studying normally.

As for Hoshino Jun, she downloaded a short video app and crammed on stories about rich women and handsome young men, eventually choosing a few reasonable routes to explore in depth.

Neither of them disturbed the other until it was time for them to go home, at which point Hoshino Jun said goodbye.

As the sun slowly sank in the west, the remaining afterglow gradually disappeared, and the sky was tinged with a faint orange hue.

The distant mountains, bathed in the glow of dusk, appeared deep and mysterious.

"Di Di!"

At the school gate, a black minivan stopped. Hoshino Jun glanced at Saionji Ryuichi and Takagi Kachiko inside the van before getting in.

He was the one who approached Saionji Ryuichi.

"You're going to be in trouble."

As soon as Hoshino Junichi got into the car, he made a surprising remark to Saionji Ryuichi:

"The chairman knows you are an obstacle and has already told me that he will deal with you, so I can focus all my energy on the attack."

Chapter 107 Preferences

The atmosphere was very heavy.

The driver was kicked out of the car by Ryuichi Saionji early on to wait, leaving only three people in the car.

Seeing that both her new husband and the man she had a deep understanding of looked unpleasant, Kachiko Takagi...

No.

She should now be called Saionji Kachiko.

Her heart, too, was in her throat, rising with the hearts of the two men.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Why did Auntie hurt Long Yi? Long Yi, is there something you haven't told me?"

"Don't worry too much. If Long Yi has any trouble, I can help."

"."

The back seat of the carriage.

Kazuko's gaze was fixed on her newlywed husband, Ryuichi Saionji, but Ryuichi seemed to have no interest in paying attention to her, his brows furrowed tightly.

The air was slightly cool at dusk, and passersby hurried by. Because the glass was specially made, they could not see anything inside the car, but the people inside could clearly see their movements.

After staring at the scenery outside the car window for a long time, Ryuichi Saionji sighed and whispered to his wife beside him:

"Kichiko, you should get off the train first. I have something to discuss with Hoshino-kun alone."

"This"

Saionji Kazuko didn't want to leave, but her husband's tone was firm, so she had no choice but to get out of the car.

When she passed by Hoshino Jun, she deliberately avoided him to prevent any suspicion from arising between them.

Noticing this, Ryuichi Saionji said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Hoshino-kun, it's just that Kachiko is being unreasonable."

"Ahem, it's okay."

Hoshino Jun's lips twitched. She took a deep breath and said solemnly, "So what are you planning to do? How are you going to deal with the chairman?"

Ryuichi Saionji's face was ashen, and he looked somewhat dejected.

"I don't know either. If it were Yamada Tsukasa, I could deal with him, but my aunt... I really can't think of a way to deal with her."

As he spoke, he would occasionally glance at Hoshino Jun, carefully observing the changes in Hoshino Jun's expression.

Unfortunately, Jun Hoshino remained consistent throughout.

There are no flaws.

After a long silence, Hoshino Jun finally spoke, "Since you can't think of a solution, I should leave too."

"In short, I've already given you the information I was supposed to send. That's all I can do."

Hoshino Jun smiled and nodded slightly to him, then prepared to get off the bus to save her life.

“Hoshino-kun, you can’t leave.” Saionji Ryuichi grabbed Hoshino Jun’s arm and said with a gloomy face, “I know you called me here, you must have a plan, right?”

He didn't believe that Hoshino Jun was just delivering information and leaving.

What's the point of that?

"The chairperson is your aunt. If you can't do anything about it, what can I do?"

Hoshino Jun shrugged helplessly, indicating that she was powerless to help: "Ryuichi-kun, you overestimate me."

"Hoshino-kun!"

Ryuichi Saionji understood perfectly well that Jun Hoshino was clearly putting on airs and acting high and mighty, which annoyed him greatly.

However, for the sake of his aunt, Ryuichi Saionji had no choice but to lower his stance and say in a low voice:

"As long as Hoshino-kun can completely help my aunt get through this difficult time, I will help you in any way I can in the future, without any hesitation."

“Now, Hoshino-kun, I, and Kazuko are all in the same boat. Hoshino-kun should be able to believe in my integrity.”

Jun Hoshino's special relationship with Kachiko could ruin Ryuichi Saionji's reputation.

It was a handle he willingly handed over, and also a warning he gave to Hoshino Jun.

He has no bottom line even with himself, so if Hoshino Jun stops caring about him, he will only retaliate with even more shamelessness.

This threat happened to be exactly what Hoshino Jun was after.

What Hoshino Jun wants is for Saionji Ryuichi to have no bottom line when it comes to anything except Saionji Ayako.

The wind is howling.

The plane trees on both sides of the road rustled.

Hoshino Jun's face darkened, his fists clenched as he stared intently at Saionji Ryuichi: "Are you threatening me?"

As he watched his fist, as big as a sandbag, crack and creak, Saionji Ryuichi's abdomen began to ache. He loosened his grip slightly in fear, but a moment later he mustered the courage to look directly into Hoshino Jun's eyes.

Why would a handsome, refined, and sunny-looking guy turn into a violent madman who randomly beats people?

Ryuichi Saionji didn't understand, but for his aunt's sake, he had to deal with this violent maniac.

"If that's what you want to think, then it's not impossible."

"I am threatening you!"

【Ding! 】

[Malicious threats detected from Ryuichi Saionji!]

Choosing not to pursue the matter will result in acquiring a C-level emotional debt.

This is the twenty-first time in total.

No further action will be taken!

When the time comes, you'll become rich overnight.

[It has been determined that Ryuichi Saionji is unable to repay this debt of gratitude, and the debt has been automatically transferred to his aunt, Ayako Saionji.]

There was no clock in the car, and the two remained motionless, gazing at each other.

As time passed, they lost track of how much time had gone by.

After an unknown period of silence, Hoshino Jun finally sat down again, forcing himself to utter a sentence amidst the humiliation: "I only have one question for you: for the sake of your aunt, would you dare to use any means against your great aunt?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Ryuichi Saionji stammered, somewhat bewildered by Jun Hoshino's words.

To lay a hand on one's aunt?

Isn't that seeking death?

Ryuichi Saionji wanted to refute the joke, but it was clear from Jun Hoshino's serious expression that he wasn't joking.

What do you want me to do?

"Tell me first, do you dare or not?"

Hoshino Jun shook off Saionji Ryuichi's hand, patted her sleeves with a look of disgust, as if there was dust on them.

It's really unlucky to be pulled back by a self-disciplined person.

"I...I..."
