Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

Shimada Sho's hand froze in mid-air.

"Who are you?! Why are you inside my body?" Hoshino Yuzuki was unusually vigilant.

The voice betrayed panic, but more than anything, it was a wary probing.

There's still time to worry about his identity, so it seems nothing serious has happened.

Shimada Sho breathed a sigh of relief, then calmly reassured him, "Calm down."

"How can I stay calm? What are you?" Hoshino Yuzuki's voice carried a hint of emotion.

She was clearly very resistant to Shimada Sho, the stranger who had suddenly appeared in her body.

"Are you a monster or a perverted old man?"

When her question received no response, Hoshino Yuuki spoke again, her tone heavily threatening, "Get off me right now, or else..."

"Or what?"

"Otherwise I'll call the police!"

"Then report it," Shimada Sho said calmly. "Let's see if the police can find this place."

"..."

Hoshino Yuuki remained silent.

She was locked in this room, which was less than ten square meters in size.

When they arrived, they were blindfolded and couldn't even find their way, let alone the police.

Besides, her phone had already been taken away.

Hoshino Yuuki floated in mid-air, looking down at herself as she turned her head and surveyed her surroundings.

This feeling is very strange.

But perhaps because someone was talking to her, she felt inexplicably more at ease.

Staring at herself below, she couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? Why can you enter my body?"

"Kind passerby, I see you're about to be sold, come and lend a hand."

Shimada Sho answered casually, his gaze constantly observing.

"I don't need it."

"Whether we need it or not, we'll talk about it when we get out."

After surveying the area, he had a clear view of the surroundings.

This is a ten-meter square cement house with no windows, only a rusty iron door.

A sliver of light shone through the crack in the door, and the faint sound of voices could be heard outside.

Shimada Sho got up and moved his wrists to feel the strength of his body.

"Don't move! What are you doing?" Hoshino Yuuki suddenly tensed up.

"Let's see how it goes."

As he spoke, Shimada Sho walked steadily toward the door.

This body was more muscular than he had imagined, with firm muscle lines; it could take on ten young ladies.

This put his mind at ease a little.

If we encounter danger, at least we won't be powerless to fight back.

He went to the iron gate and pressed his ear against it.

Rough, boisterous conversation could be heard outside the door.

"...This little girl is quite tough; she dared to come all by herself."

"Haha, she said she would negotiate on behalf of her brother and ask us for a few more days. How naive of her."

"The boss said that if that good-for-nothing can't pay back the money, we can do whatever we want with this little girl."

……

Conversations broke out intermittently, accompanied by the lewd laughter of several men, their malice self-evident.

From these few sentences of conversation, Shimada Sho figured out why Hoshino Yuuki was being held here.

His expression darkened as a result.

These people are likely his creditors, from that nameless underworld organization.

Then, for some unknown reason, he approached Hoshino Yuuki.

She lingered outside the classroom at noon, probably wanting to ask him what had happened.

As a result, I was in a foster care situation at the time and didn't notice my sister's arrival at all.

Then this silly girl, I don't know what she was thinking.

He avoided Shimada Sho and came here alone to negotiate terms with someone.

A young girl entered a gangster's hideout and, unsurprisingly, was locked up.

"Are you an idiot?" Shimada Sho cursed inwardly.

Hoshino Yuuki retorted without backing down, "You're the idiot!"

"..."

They're really good at talking, aren't they?

Shimada Sho ignored her.

He turned and walked to a corner of the room, his eyes scanning the surroundings, trying to find a suitable weapon.

The temporary character login card is valid for 30 minutes.

About five minutes have passed since he logged in, which means he has twenty-five minutes left.

Twenty-five minutes later, they dealt with the people outside and left with Hoshino Yuuki.

enough.

The only problem is... he needs to figure out how many people are outside and where they are.

Just then, the iron gate was suddenly pulled open.

The blinding light rushed in, and Shimada Sho squinted.

A man in his thirties with a scarred face stood at the door. He had a scar on his face and a tattoo of a Prajna symbol on his arm.

He had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, looking down at "Hoshino Yuuki" with a greasy smile.

"Little sister, have you thought it through? Do you want to pay back your good-for-nothing brother's money?"

Shimada Sho looked up at the sound and observed calmly.

It has a fat head and big ears, and an exaggerated body shape, but it's all fat, so it probably isn't good at fighting.

This kind of opponent is easy to deal with.

Scarface was visibly taken aback when Shimada Sho looked him up and down.

That look in his eyes... it's different from before.

Even though this little girl was being stubborn, the fear in her eyes was undeniable.

This is... a little too peaceful right now.

An abnormal calm.

Thinking this, Scarface chuckled at himself again.

What could be abnormal about a high school girl?

I was actually fooled; that's really unbecoming of a gangster.

Realizing he was losing ground, his face hardened, and he kicked the doorframe, yelling, "I'm asking you a question! What are you pretending to be mute for?"

"I didn't hear you clearly just now, could you say it again?" This time she responded quickly.

However, there was no trace of panic in his tone; instead, there was a hint of playfulness.

Chapter Forty-Eight: The Self-Righteous Idiot

The scarred man frowned and said coldly, "I'm telling you, your good-for-nothing brother owes us two million, and next week is the deadline. You can plead for him, but the rules... you know them, right?"

"What rules?"

Shimada Sho stood in front of the scarred man, his eyes full of curiosity as he asked questions.

The other person instinctively replied, "Of course it's you, little sister! If you can't pay back, come with us to Kabukicho..."

“I’ve changed my mind. I’m no longer going to plead for him or help him pay off his debts.”

Before he could finish speaking, Shimada Sho suddenly interrupted him.

At this moment, he finally confirmed his guess.

Two million.

It really was this debt.

The two million yuan in high-interest loans owed by the original owner were like a venomous snake, coiling around him and those around him.

He thought he could just bear it all himself.

At worst, I'll confront these people head-on next Monday, have a fight, and beat them until they dare not come back.

But Hoshino Yuuki doesn't think so.

This sister, who always verbally complained about him, secretly went to the underworld's hideout alone to plead for him.

"You're not going to pay me back?" Scarface thought he had misheard.

Shimada Sho raised his head, revealing a disdainful sneer, "Why should I help that guy pay off his debts?"

"That's not what you just said, is it?"

"I told you, I changed my mind." Shimada Sho didn't deny it at all, only saying with disgust, "Who wants to help that good-for-nothing pay off his debts?"

Scarface froze. "What did you say?"

"Can't you hear me? Then I'll say it again." Shimada Sho crossed his arms, tilted his head, and gave a lazy smile. "What does that good-for-nothing's debt have to do with me?"

In my mind, Hoshino Yuuki's voice exploded: "What are you saying! You..."

Shimada Sho ignored her words.

"Isn't he your brother?" Scarface still couldn't believe it.

"Don't joke around, old man." Shimada Sho scoffed, raising his eyes to look at the scarred man. "I don't have a useless older brother like that."

The voice was filled with disdain and estrangement, as if talking about a complete stranger.

Scarface's face darkened completely. "You little brat, you dare to play us for fools?"

"How could I dare?" Shimada Sho spread his hands, his tone innocent. "I've just figured it out. A good-for-nothing who can't even support himself will only be a burden on Mom. Now he owes so much money that we can't pay it back. We might as well cut ties tomorrow."

"you--"

The scarred man clenched his fist, veins bulging on the back of his hand.

Just then, two more men walked in from outside.

One was bald with a gold chain around his neck; the other was tall and thin, wearing glasses, and looked refined, but had a sinister look in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" The bald man asked as he entered.

“This little girl says she’s going back on her word,” Scarface gritted his teeth. “She’s not going to help her brother pay back the money.”

"Oh?" The bespectacled man pushed up his glasses, looking at "Hoshino Yuuki" with interest. "Little sister, are you sure?"

"determine."

"Then what are you doing here? Playing us for a fool?"

"I just came to see what kind of person could make that good-for-nothing go into debt." Shimada Sho shrugged. "After seeing him, he's just like everyone else, a bunch of trash who only know how to bully high school students."

The room was silent for a second.
