Tokyo: My debt collection methods are a bit off.

As the soft countdown ended, Hoshino Jun began to walk back, and at the same time, Yamada Ran's voice called out from the top floor.

"Hoshino Jun, are you still there?"

"I'm still here!"

"Come up quickly."

·····

Downstairs in the office building where the lights had been turned on again, a weary Ryuichi Saionji leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.

"That damned Hoshino Jun not only raped my wife, but also ordered me to do this and that. He is absolutely despicable."

"Sooner or later, I will kill you."

"I'm exhausted."

Wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, Ryuichi Saionji turned on his phone and began the final step.

He shifted the blame for the whole affair onto his good cousin, Yamada Tsukasa.

Looking at the last few lines of his chat history with Yamada Tsukasa, Saionji Ryuichi suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

"Ryuichi, you must find a way to kill Hoshino Jun."

"Any method is acceptable, even if it means letting Yamada Kaoru know that I did it."

"No"

"We still need to be more discreet. Yamada Kaoru is too crazy; it's best not to mess with her."

"but."

"We must make that bastard Hoshino Jun feel what pain is."

My dear brother.

You still want Hoshino Jun to feel pain?

You actually believe that he would confess his love to you under the surveillance cameras in the office building? With your pig brain, you're still playing along with him.

He'll make you suffer.

Fortunately, I joined Hoshino Jun's camp early on, otherwise Hoshino Jun might be teaming up with my eldest aunt to target my youngest aunt now.

Ryuichi Saionji felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about the dirty tricks he had used today.

If it were my aunt, with her frail physique, she wouldn't be able to withstand being splashed with water.

Fortunately.

Hoshino Jun's tastes are unusual; he's not interested in his aunt, but this time it's his aunt.

"Tsukasa, don't worry. My cousin has already done as you instructed and shown Hoshino Jun what true terror is."

“I just cut off the power to the whole building, forced him into the stairwell, and then splashed water all over him.”

"After that, they locked the entrances to every floor and installed signal jammers."

"He spent the entire next night soaking wet in the gloomy stairwell."

Even the wind in Tokyo is noisy in the evening.

Tsukasa Yamada, sitting in the back seat of the luxury car, was still on his way home.

The young master is in a bad mood today because Hoshino Jun's comment, "Short is also cute," has still not calmed him down.

He didn't even have the energy to look for women anymore.

"Dudu!"

His phone vibrated, and Yamada Tsukasa picked it up and glanced at it with some annoyance.

That one glance instantly turned his anger into joy.

His mouth was wide open, and his face was practically splitting open with laughter.

"As expected, when it comes to bullying people, my cousin is the best."

"All I thought of was to find someone to beat up Hoshino Jun to vent my anger, but I didn't expect him to go so far."

"That's how you deal with scoundrels."

"Idiot, let's see if you dare to laugh at me again."

Unaware that Saionji Ryuichi was shifting the focus of the conflict, Yamada Tsukasa smugly replied to his good cousin, "Well done."

After laughing for a while, he thought it over and over and still feared Yamada Kaoru's strength.

So he decided to go to his father's current residence immediately.

"Turn around immediately."

I'll hide for a couple of days first, and then make a decision after I've confirmed whether Yamada Kaoru has found out that I did it.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Yamada Tsukasa was genuinely terrified after being beaten up by Yamada Kaoru.

Even now, Tsukasa Yamada still remembers how terrifying Kaoru Yamada was that day.

If he hadn't been discovered in time, Yamada Kaoru really intended to kill him.

·····

"boom--!"

In the corridor of the office building.

The dull thuds echoed repeatedly. After kicking the door more than ten times, Hoshino Jun was panting heavily and leaned weakly against the wall.

"Chairman, there's nothing we can do. This door is too thick; there's no way to break it." Hoshino Jun's breathing was extremely rapid.

But if you look closely, you'll find that he didn't break a sweat.

On the contrary, Yamada Ran, who hadn't participated in kicking the goal, was trembling uncontrollably, her whole body soaked.

Don't misunderstand.

It wasn't that kind of water; it was the water that had just been splashed all over her.

It was already dark, and the night air was quite cool.

A cold wind entered the stairwell through the ventilation vents and blew onto Yamada Ran's soaked body, making her tremble and unable to maintain her elegant demeanor.

They just huddled in the corner trying to keep warm.

"What should we do now?"

Hoshino Jun stared longingly at the voluptuous young woman.

The doors on every floor were locked.

With no cell phone signal and unable to call for help, Ran Yamada had no other option but to rely on Jun Hoshino.

Unfortunately

Ran Yamada remained silent.

Looking at Chairman Yamada, who was huddled in the corner trembling, Hoshino Jun scratched his head and said helplessly, "Chairman, I have done my best."

Upon hearing this, Yamada Ran frowned bitterly.

She really couldn't figure out who locked the door and why.

Is it possible to lock the door in the stairwell?

Someone definitely did this on purpose.

But who exactly is this person?

Who has the audacity to deliberately harass her, the chairperson of the board?

It's so cold now.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Yamada Ran shivered again, her once clear eyes turning cloudy.

"Chairman~"

Hoshino Jun's tone was drawn out, her gaze passing through Yamada Ran's gray dress and looking at the cluster of snow-white skin.

He said, "Why don't you dry your clothes first? Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold and get sick before we even leave."

"No, let's wait a bit longer."

Yamada Ran lowered her head, her voice weary and tired: "Wait a little longer, maybe someone will come to rescue us."

As a woman, what kind of behavior is it to take off your clothes in the stairwell?

This is unacceptable to Ran Yamada.

Seeing her stubborn look, Hoshino Jun didn't say anything more, and nodded to show that she respected her wishes.

As time went by, the temperature at night dropped lower and lower, and no one came to open the door outside the building.

Perhaps someone has been here.

However, the entire building was too vast, and the chances of Hoshino Jun and Yamada Ran calling for help from floor to floor were too low to be heard.

Five or six minutes later.

Exhausted and hungry, Yamada Ran finally succumbed to the unbearable feeling of being soaked to the bone, and her pretty face looked somewhat haggard.

His expression became hazy.

Hoshino Jun, who had been observing Yamada Ran's condition, noticed this and quickly went over, bent down, and tested Yamada Ran's temperature with his fingertips.

The situation is not good.

My forehead started to feel hot.

"Chairman, your forehead is very hot. My suggestion is that you take off your clothes immediately and wring them out, otherwise there may be serious consequences."

"Forget it, let's wait a bit longer!"

Ran Yamada was already feeling a bit dizzy and didn't care about Jun Hoshino's physical contact.

He simply shook his head and refused.
