Sensing the presence of divine power, Rovira became interested.

He had been in this world for a long time, and apart from Sazex and Seraph, he had not seen any other gods.

Perhaps this time, we will be able to see the local deities.

So, Luo Wei and his group leisurely walked through the torii gate and entered the shrine, intending to give a loud greeting to the gods here.

However, upon entering the shrine, Lovi was astonished to discover that the shrine was shrouded in the presence of the enshrined deity.

However, there are no deities inside the shrine.

Or rather, the gods are not in this shrine.

Whether it was returning to Takamagahara or deliberately avoiding Lovi, Lovi didn't see any of the gods there.

Come with good fortune and return with bad luck.

That evening, Luo Wei and his group returned to the hotel. The hotel receptionist told Luo Wei that two girls had come looking for him that afternoon and, knowing he wasn't there, had been sitting in the lobby waiting for him.

Upon hearing this, Luo Wei looked around and saw two women, one large and one small, on the sofa in the hall.

The smaller one is Yukino Yukinoshita, whom I separated from this morning.

The older one is her older sister, Yukinoshita Haruno.

The two women also saw Luo Wei and his group, and quickly stood up from the sofa and walked towards Luo Wei.

"Nice to meet you, Lord Rowe."

Yukinoshita bowed to Lo Wei and said with a smile, "I am Yukinoshita, and I am here today to thank Lord Lo Wei for saving my sister."

Yukino Yukinoshita also bowed.

Luo Wei said, "I appreciate your thanks. Is there anything else?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered as she softly said, "Verbal thanks are not enough to show the sincerity of our Yukinoshita family, so we have specially prepared a banquet for you. I wonder if Lord Lovi would be willing to do us the honor of attending?"

"No need for a banquet."

Luo Wei waved his hand, saying that the food at those banquets was nowhere near as good as the food made by Luo Wei's followers. Nowadays, Erina Nakiri spends a lot of time every day honing her culinary skills on the believer platform where time is constant.

While his culinary skills weren't exactly superb, they were certainly several levels above average.

Combined with food from the Light Dimension of Lovi.

It crushes any modern restaurant.

Even a three-Michelin-starred restaurant is no exception; compared to Erina Nakiri's cuisine, it's not even worthy of carrying her shoes.

Having grown accustomed to such fine food, Lo Wei would never be interested in other dishes.

He said bluntly, "If you have something to say, say it. If not, I'll go back and rest now."

They're just the Yukinoshita family, not worth Lovi's trouble.

Even the Shinomiya family is not an option.

Yukino's smile froze instantly, seemingly not expecting Lovi to be so disrespectful.

But she was a shrewd and quick-witted person, and immediately realized what was going on. She smiled and said, "We do have something we would like to trouble Lord Luo Wei with this time. I wonder if Lord Luo Wei has time to discuss it in detail?"

Luo Wei didn't refuse, "Come to my room."

0 ···Requesting flowers··· ···

He was also eager to know what trouble the Yukinoshita family had encountered.

Yukino Yukinoshita was overjoyed and followed Lovi with Yukino Yukinoshita, all the way to Lovi's room.

"What to drink?"

After inviting the two women to sit down, Luo Wei asked a question.

Yukinoshita Haruno said, "Coffee."

Loe snapped his fingers, and two steaming cups of coffee appeared out of thin air in front of the Yukinoshita sisters.

Although Yukino Yukinoshita already knew from her younger sister that Lovi was a superhuman, she was still surprised to see this scene.

Some things can only be truly appreciated by hearing about them; you have to see them with your own eyes to feel their impact.

She picked up her coffee, took a sip, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"It's delicious! What kind of coffee is this?"

...... ... ....

Although the Yukinoshita family is not a large conglomerate, they are still wealthy in Chiba and have tasted countless fine coffees.

However, I have never had coffee this delicious before.

No coffee on the market tastes as good as this cup of coffee.

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at her older sister in surprise, realizing that her sister wasn't flattering her, but genuinely praising the coffee.

This surprised her somewhat. She picked up her cup, took a sip, and a look of astonishment flashed across her eyes.

It's really delicious, better than any coffee I've ever had.

Yukino Yukinoshita doesn't usually like coffee, but she can accept this kind of coffee.

"It's homegrown, not from any famous brand."

Luo Wei calmly said, "Tell me first, what do you want from me?"

Seeing that Luo Wei was urging her again, Yukino Yukino dared not delay and said, "Our Yukino family is a member of parliament in Chiba Prefecture. We started in the construction industry and are currently planning to expand into Tokyo."

"Not long ago, we bought a piece of land in Tokyo with the intention of building a large shopping mall."

"When the mall was halfway built, something strange happened."

At this point, Yukino Yukinoshita paused deliberately, looked up at Lovi, and seemed to be waiting for Lovi to ask her a question.

But Loe didn't speak, gesturing for Yukinoshita Haruno to continue.

Yukino Yukinoshita said with a wry smile, "A dozen days ago, someone died when construction started, so we're currently at a standstill."

132. We sisters are willing to serve our elders.

Upon hearing this, Luo Wei finally spoke, "Several people died."

He knew these capitalists all too well. It was normal for people to die on construction sites. If only one or two people died, as long as the compensation was adequate, there was no way they would stop work.

Now, Yukino Yukinoshita says that construction has stopped.

This shows that the number of deaths is definitely not just one or two.

Yukino was somewhat surprised that Luo Wei had grasped the key point so quickly. She hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Seven people, one died each day, seven died in seven days."

"So now the workers are afraid to start work, even though we have increased wages tenfold."

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Why didn't I know about this, sister?"

She was completely unaware that such a serious thing had happened in her family.

Not even one person from "937" had ever told her that.

Yukino Yukinoshita said with a wry smile, "Even if you knew, what could you do? Could you solve the problem?"

Yukino Yukinoshita immediately fell silent.

That sentence hit a nerve with her.

Yeah, even if she found out, so what? Would it solve the problem?

Yukino Yukinoshita is well aware of her own limitations.

Saeko Busujima said, "Seven people have died in seven days, one a day. It seems you've messed with the wrong people."

Yukino Yukinoshita said, "We haven't provoked anyone."

Hitomi Kisugi said, "If a Chiba family wants to enter Tokyo and compete with the people of Tokyo for things, the local forces in Tokyo will definitely make things difficult for you."

Yurikawa was taken aback. "Huh? Is that so? But isn't it a bit inappropriate to have a dead person?"

Lai Shengtong snorted coldly, "In the eyes of those high and mighty people, the lives of ordinary people can't be called lives at all, they can only be called consumables, including the one in front of you."

Yurikawa Hana was confused. "Is that so?"

Lai Shengtong said, "Knowing that there was a problem with the construction site, instead of stopping work, they lured the workers with high wages. Isn't this treating the workers as expendable resources?"

"However, the workers were unwilling to earn such dangerous money, which is why the construction site had no choice but to stop work."

Yurikawa Hana suddenly realized what was going on, and looked at Yukinoshita Haruno as if she were looking at a bad woman.

As a high school student, she didn't have the mindset of an adult who considers pros and cons.

Only one pure and kind mind.

"You're such a wicked woman."

Yukinoshita smiled bitterly and said with her head down, "I know I shouldn't have done this, but by asking for this land, our Yukinoshita family has already paid the price."

"If we give up now, the Yukinoshita family's initial investment will be completely wasted."

"The Yukinoshita family is likely to suffer a severe blow, or even never recover."

"Over the years, the Yukinoshita family has grown to its current size, offending many people. Once the Yukinoshita family declines, these people are likely to attack them en masse."

"At that time, our Yukinoshita family may very well go bankrupt."

"Whether it's me or my sister, we'll both become playthings for the powerful and wealthy."

"To avoid this situation from happening, we had no choice but to resort to this drastic measure."

Yukino Yukinoshita stared at her older sister in shock, never expecting that the family would be in such danger.

Bankruptcy was just a hair's breadth away.

Medea narrowed her eyes and said, "It seems that the person who set this trap for you is very clever. They intend to exploit your weaknesses right away, leaving you with no way to advance or retreat."

Yukino Yukinoshita said pitifully, "You're right, that's true. It's ridiculous, but up to now, we don't even know who the enemy is."

Luo Wei asked, "So, your purpose in coming to me is to get me to solve the problem of the dead people so that the construction site can start smoothly."

Yukinoshita Haruno nodded.

Luo Wei asked, "The deaths at the construction site could very well be caused by spirits haunting the site. Didn't you consult a yin-yang master?"

It's impossible for a wealthy family like the Yukinoshita family not to know about the existence of Onmyoji.

Yukino Yukinoshita said, "Actually, we asked an Onmyoji to take a look, but the answer we got was that there was no problem."

Medea scoffed, "The biggest problem is that there is no problem. It seems that even the Onmyoji are unwilling to offend the person who is so ruthless towards you."

Yukino Yukino couldn't stop smiling bitterly; she was well aware of this problem herself.

One person died in one day, and seven people died in seven days.

The Onmyoji actually said there were no problems at the construction site.

Isn't this a joke?

But since the Onmyoji has said that, what can she do? Can she go and settle scores with the Onmyoji?

It's true that the Yukinoshita family is wealthy in Chiba, but wealthy people are still just merchants, and they are far inferior to Onmyoji.

In ancient times, the Yin-Yang Bureau was subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the Left Bureau of Officials, and was in charge of the observation and judgment of divination, astronomy, timekeeping, calendar, and related education.

Onmyoji are of high status and cannot be exploited by merchants.

Even now, although the status of merchants has improved considerably, they still cannot compare with Onmyoji.

A single glance or a spell from the other party can make you die silently.

Who dares to mess with them?

Therefore, even though she knew there was something wrong, Yukino Yukinoshita still didn't dare to speak up and could only swallow her anger and secretly search for her sister's solution.

After suddenly hearing about her sister's situation from Hiratsuka Shizuka today, Yukinoshita Haruno realized that her opportunity had arrived.

So he immediately asked his sister and learned what had happened the night before.

Yukinoshita immediately realized that an opportunity to break the deadlock had arrived.
