The Underworld, Starting with Debt

A sharp, excited voice rang out in the empty, quiet office. Huang Liuhua, sitting at her desk, rested her chin on her hands and looked up at the speaker.

Inside the office, seemingly to welcome someone's arrival, the lights were off, with only a desk lamp casting a faint glow that outlined the visitor's silhouette.

Her dazzling blonde hair shone even in the dim light. Louisa Richter crossed her arms, which accentuated her exceptionally voluptuous figure, making her stand out even more. Her neat blue shirt was stretched to its limit by her fiery and exquisite curves.

Louisa leaned forward arrogantly, like a leopard poised to pounce, giving off a strong sense of oppression.

"If the media finds out, they'll be scrambling to report on it! Principal, you don't want the media to know, do you...?"

"I see... And then, what are your requirements?"

Huang Liuhua smiled faintly, not intimidated by the inexperienced actions of the self-proclaimed strong student council president.

"of course!"

Two strands of hair that fell across her cheeks danced wildly as she spoke excitedly, revealing a pair of beautiful emerald green eyes that were as bright as gemstones. Louisa strode confidently to her desk and slammed her hands on it.

"Of course, the school-certified 'secret boyfriend' system should be abolished immediately!"

Huang Liuhua raised an eyebrow, leisurely spun her chair to the side, her voluptuous, black-stockinged legs crossed, and said lightly, "Abolish the 'Secret Boyfriend' system? That's impossible."

"what?!"

Louisa slammed her hand on the table in anger.

"This system is ethically unacceptable! What if the students' parents found out...!"

"Don't worry, the powerful committee members in the parent-teacher association and the board of directors have all approved this system."

Huang Liuhua gently interrupted Louisa and continued to explain, "Since this system was implemented, the overall academic performance of students who have used it has improved, their attitudes towards life have improved, and their mental state has become more stable. Therefore, this system has many benefits for both students and the school."

Do you need me to show you the data?

"Well......"

Louisa pursed her lips, her initial aggressive demeanor completely gone. Her pink lips parted slightly, as if she still wanted to fight for something.

"Even if you make it public, it will only be suppressed. The power behind this system is far greater than you can imagine."

Huang Liuhua interrupted Louisa again, giving her no room to argue, and directly picked up the folder placed on the table and handed it to her.

As Louisa opened the thick folder and looked at the data and drawings inside, her eyes widened and she gritted her teeth.

"How...how is this possible?! A mere man..."

Clearly, clearly all men in the world are just scumbags interested in money and women.

Louisa squeezed harder with her fingers, deforming the paper folder in her hands.

Looking at the data above, Louisa couldn't help but think of her father.

His own family, the Richter family, were the founders of Richter Technologies.

The father, on the other hand, married into the family as a son-in-law, marrying the mother. However, he eventually embezzled company funds and ran off with a woman.

Louisa still clearly remembers that day when she brought her test paper with a score of 100, hoping to receive even just a verbal compliment from him.

But what she ultimately witnessed was him and his lover getting into the car and leaving, without giving her even a glance.

To make matters worse, during junior high school, her body developed rapidly. Her European and American genes made her appear more voluptuous and tall than her peers, attracting a lot of attention. The men who surrounded her were only after her beauty and her family background.

That's when I realized that no man is any good.

Louisa Richter thus concluded.

Seeing Louisa's constantly changing expression, Huang Liuhua naturally knew what the problem student was thinking.

"Why don't you give this opportunity a try? I really hope that students like you can also be transformed through this system."

"Are you suggesting I find a 'secret boyfriend' too? I don't need one!"

Louisa snorted coldly, her eyebrows furrowed tightly.

"Haha~"

"What do you mean?"

"pat"

Louisa slammed the documents in her hand in anger and glanced coldly at the six royal flowers in front of her desk.

"Who knows."

With her slender fingers gently twirling her falling hair, Huang Liuhua answered lightly.

"You! Humph!"

"Thud"

Louisa glared fiercely at Royal Rikka, then stormed out of the office in her little leather shoes.

"Thud"

A faint smile curved her lips as Huang Liuhua glanced at Louisa, who was walking away into the distance.

'You're still too young.'

'How dare you look down on me!'

Louisa strode to the door and grasped the doorknob.

Why don't you give this opportunity a try? I really hope that students like you can also experience change through this system.

Louisa grew increasingly furious as the seemingly well-intentioned but actually contemptuous words of Huang Liuhua seemed to keep echoing in her ears.

'Men, that thing...'

'Your challenge, I accept! Then, I will prove the ugliness within men!'

As if to vent all her pent-up frustration, Louisa slammed the door shut with a fierce jerk, the bright hallway lights instantly illuminating her resolute face, as if declaring her determination. But then...

------

The private St. Hua Academy is exceptionally wealthy. Its interior design leans towards a Western style, with clean and beautiful carpets in the corridors, oil paintings hanging on the walls, and crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, emitting a soft, warm yellow light that is refreshing and pleasant.

Even after walking back and forth along this corridor leading to the principal's office several times, Ito Koshitomo never appreciated the elegance of the evening scenery.

They did, however, focus some of their attention on its luxurious and elegant decorations.

They walked silently to the office. Only the sound of Ito and the female security guard's footsteps could be heard.

'Rokka-neechan is quite authoritative; no students wander around her office.'

It seems that if the Imperial Rokuka suddenly gets the mood and wants to put on a show for the Queen, with her younger brother taking the reins, Ito Etsutoshi will have no choice but to comply.

"We've arrived. The headmaster is inside."

After a long while, the female security guard who was leading the way suddenly stopped and gave a reminder.

"okay."

Nodding and watching the female security guard leave, Ito Koshito composed himself and knocked on the door expectantly.

Huh? Why is it so soft?

Chapter 150 Under the Table

"..."

The crystal chandelier on the ceiling cast soft rays of light, making Louisa's golden hair even more dazzling.

Her golden eyebrows were raised high, still holding a hint of indignation between them. Louisa blinked, her clear, blue eyes filled with confusion, clearly reflecting the equally dazed Ito Koshito.

Outside, the wind was quite noisy.

At the doorway, the two stood facing each other in silence for a moment.

'So soft...'

It was as if Ito's fingers were sinking into a soft, dreamlike world, as if there was an invisible lubricant, making Ito's fingers unconsciously sink deeper and deeper.

Rub, rub.

The blue shirt was creased into a large wrinkle.

The confusion in her eyes gradually turned into astonishment, and then, as if gunpowder had been ignited, Louisa's anger exploded.

"No, shameless scoundrel!"

Louisa's fair face flushed slightly, whether from shyness, anger, or both, she gritted her teeth, raised her small hand high, and slapped Ito Kozue's face.

"Snapped--"

The crisp, loud sound of a slap echoed in the empty, quiet corridor.

Louisa stopped abruptly, staring angrily at the large hand that had caught hers.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."

Ito Koshito slowly lowered Louisa's hand, realizing that his actions had offended her, and looked embarrassed, saying apologetically.

"Humph!"

Louisa snorted coldly, a hint of anger appearing on her beautiful face. She glared at Ito Koichi and shook off his hand.

"You scoundrel! Where are the security guards? How did they let this man into the school?"

Huang Liuhua noticed the commotion by the door and saw the tall figure blocking out a large amount of light. She knew then that her lover had arrived.

“Luisa, I had the security guard bring him in.”

Huang Liuhua spoke calmly, rose from her chair, and walked gracefully to the door in her high heels, stopping the farce.

"Principal, how can you let a man who isn't a school staff member do this on the side..."

Louisa glared angrily at Huang Liuhua and said with dissatisfaction, then suddenly paused.

"Could it be..."

"Young people shouldn't be so hot-tempered."

Kou Rikka reached out and grasped Ito Kozue's arm, hooking it around her waist and leaning against his broad, muscular chest. A slight smile played on her lips as she chuckled and said, "It's just as you think. He's one of the 'secret boyfriends'."
