Does gravity make me stronger?

Wait a minute, how can you call it open if it's not closed?

But I haven't turned it on yet, how do I turn it off?

Hachiman asked wearily, "Kyoka Suigetsu must have accumulated a lot of gravity points before. How long will the effect last, and how many people will be affected?"

Thanks to Nagasaki Motoyo's unexpected rampage at the Starry Night Performance Hall, there should be enough gravity to enhance the power of Kyoka Suigetsu.

[It normally only lasts a few seconds and can only affect one person at a time.]

[However, this time the number of people has increased to five, and the time is roughly equivalent to one Kun Shi, uh, I mean two and a half hours.]

That's enough.

Back to the present, Hachiman carefully observed the two's reactions and said in a low voice.

"A sum of money should have been transferred into your account around 3 PM on April 1st, right? Should we have the bank investigate the source of this payment?"

Hachiman was still a little guilty when he said this.

After all, the cheat was enabled, but it was a time-limited cheat and couldn't perfectly solve all the problems.

Hachiman did indeed understand that the two thugs wanted to swindle Toyokawa Shoko, but specific information such as the arrival time of the previous payment was still rather vague.

In their minds, the debt should have been transferred on April 1st, but not down to the hour and minute.

Therefore, Hachiman could only make up a time himself, and pray that the two parties didn't have such good memories, or simply didn't know the exact time of the payment.

How did you know...?

Standing to the side, the blond-haired man was completely taken aback by Hachiman's apparent knowledge of the situation and immediately panicked.

"As I said, it was Mr. Toyokawa who told me to pass on this to Toyokawa... Shoko-kun, this is the transfer information. Should I send this to you?"

Hachiman opened his phone's photo album and randomly picked up a picture of a snow-white cat resting on its paw pads.

To others, it's a picture of an adorable kitten.

But in the eyes of the two men with yellow hair, the situation was somewhat different.

"What is this thing?"

The pictures in the album were a bit blurry at first glance, full of static. Huang Mao wondered if he had presbyopia. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, and the picture suddenly became clear.

‘4月1日15点31分33秒，账户：钱上飞有限公司，收款：5万円’

The information above is exactly the same as what Hachiman just said.

Huang Mao quickly signaled to his companion with his eyes, trying to confirm if there was anything wrong with the information.

No, I don't know either. All I know is that the money was transferred on April 1st.

The two blinked blankly, completing a silent exchange.

However, since the exact time of the transfer is unknown to both of them, it is impossible to determine in the short term whether Hachiman is aware of the truth.

"Wait a minute, the company sent a message!"

Upon hearing the notification sound, Huang Mao's accomplice took out his phone, glanced at it, and then blushed as he stuffed it into his pocket.

The blond-haired guy standing to the side was dumbfounded.

Why are you pretending to be mute? What exactly did the company send out?

Seeing the suspicious look in Huang Mao's eyes, his companion leaned close to his ear and whispered, "There's a mole inside. Stop the deal!"

What?! The intelligence is true?!

Are we becoming Gin?

At first, after seeing that the information on Hachiman's phone was indeed from their account, the two were only a little suspicious.

Upon seeing the message on their accomplice's phone, the two realized that their plan had made a huge mistake and hurriedly tried to absolve themselves of responsibility: "We'll let you off this time."

Ha, a mere blond-haired brat, daring to rebel against the Heavenly Gang!

Don't steal my lines! What did I say if you said it?

Hachiman coughed lightly; the two men's reactions confirmed to him that the illusion created by the mirage had led them to make a wrong judgment.

The initiative has been taken over by him.

"Wait a minute, I overheard your conversation. Toyokawa-kun should have already given you this month's money, right?"

"Yes, that's right..."

"I'm not sure," Huang Mao replied uneasily.

"Let's record a video then, to avoid any misunderstandings later. That wouldn't be good for either of us, would it?"

"Hey, don't go too far!"

Hachiman remained unfazed by this feeble threat.

He kept his head down, typing away on his phone, and then calmly pressed play.

"Oh dear, another naive girl fell for it today. I told her she hadn't paid the full amount last month, and she actually transferred the money! Everyone, we burst out laughing."

It is their own voice.

Upon hearing this, the blond-haired man's eyes widened in astonishment, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, unable to move.

Dude, does your family own a spy factory? How come you have all sorts of things?

Chapter 22 022 Backlash, I can only call it a backlash.

Staring at Hachiman's twisted, dead-fish eyes, the blond-haired man felt as if his entire body had been seen through. He pursed his lips, trying to make a final struggle.

"I have no idea what you put there."

"You don't know? If you do know what the penalty is for fraud, do you need me to explain it to you?"

Hachiman said calmly.

"Don't!"

If they were to be sued, neither of them felt that the company would protect them.

Even when organized crime collects debts, they still have to abide by basic laws; they can't just take any money.

Moreover, they are the kind of new-era organized crime that places greater emphasis on the spirit of contracts, and they have to recite the constitution several times a day.

If this news gets back, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my little finger.

After a brief discussion, the two immediately reached a consensus.

"I'm sorry, but you don't have to pay back the money. Please delete the recording, okay?"

"If you delete it, won't you make us pay you back then?"

"I..."

His little scheme was exposed right in front of him, and Huang Mao was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder.

How come this dead-fish-eyed brat's brain works so fast?

It seems we have no choice but to swallow this loss...

"I'll write you a written agreement, you can delete it, is that okay?"

"Okay, let's film the video while we're at it."

"I'll do whatever you say."

So, under Hachiman's watchful eye, the two obediently wrote a note saying "We will no longer pursue any of Toyokawa Shoko's debts," along with a video of the debts being forgiven.

After doing all that, Hachiman signaled that they could leave, and then the two of them immediately took off and disappeared from sight.

After a moment, Toyokawa Shoko, regaining her senses, bowed deeply.

"Hachiman, thank you for getting me out of that predicament."

Her complexion was very pale.

The Toyokawa family was burdened with a large debt, so as the daughter of a creditor, she was naturally not naive enough to think that she could get away unscathed.

She often practiced in her mind how to fight back when creditors came to collect debts, but in the face of tough tactics, none of her practice was effective.

At that moment, she was trembling all over, terrified.

If it weren't for Hachiman's help, this month's living expenses would have been wasted, and those two might have gone even further, making the days ahead even more difficult.

Hachiman shook his head slightly: "It's alright, keep this evidence, I'm leaving."

The note was given to Toyokawa Shoko, and the video used as evidence was filmed with Toyokawa Shoko's own phone, so it was not in Hachiman's possession.

Having done all that, Hachiman stepped forward to leave.

"Please wait a moment."

Toyokawa Shoko reached out and grabbed Hachiman's wrist, but quickly pulled her hand back.

"Hachiman, did your father contact you just now? How did you two meet?"

"..."

Hachiman guiltily looked away.

After all, he didn't know Toyokawa Shoko's father at all.

The recording and transfer information were actually faked using superpowers, but the effect was so good that even Hachiman almost believed it.

The system is easy to use, but it's not perfect, and problems have already emerged.

That is, how to solve the problem with Toyokawa's father.

Once she gets home, Toyokawa Shoko will surely explain everything that just happened to her father, and that's when the illusion will be exposed.

Then things will get very complicated.

Therefore, Hachiman decided to make a patch.

"Your father and I... don't actually know each other. I just overheard those two trying to scam you when I got home... I'm sorry, I was just being nosy."

"I see..."

Shoko Toyokawa seemed to have accepted what Hachiman said, but she lowered her head in a very lonely manner.

"If my father knew that there was a sum of money that didn't need to be repaid, he would probably spend it even more recklessly."

The Toyokawa family has a lot of debts, and that debt only accounts for a portion of them.

However, for her father, who has completely lost his fighting spirit, this canceled debt may lead him to further depravity.

But one thing is one thing.

She really didn't know how to thank Hachiman for stepping forward to help her and clear out part of her debts.

"Hachiman, I will always remember this kindness."

"Oh, um."

Hachiman nodded nonchalantly, not expecting any reward from Toyokawa Shoko.

"It's alright, and I've already accepted your favor."

He said this specifically to appease Toyokawa Shoko.

"Are you talking about the money from last time? That was just an equal exchange, and compared to the help Hachiman-kun provided, it was negligible."

This child is really stubborn.

Just to be on the safe side, Hachiman glanced at the gravity reading above Toyokawa Shoko's head, just in case she did something foolish.

31-> 11

Fortunately, the numbers have returned to normal.

So there's nothing to worry about anymore.

[Congratulations, host, for significantly reducing your gravity level.]
