After Kawasaki Saki refilled the two glasses, Yang No said softly with a smile on her face, slightly flushed from the alcohol.
"I need your help with something this time."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Have you ever heard of... a fighter?"
"Know a thing or two."
"Huh? You actually heard of it?"
Yang No seemed a little surprised, but then he thought, after all, the other party was an exorcist with special abilities, and it was not surprising that he had heard about fighting artists from some channel.
"Since you've heard it, I'll tell you straight away."
Yang Noi put away his smile and spoke slowly.
"I hope you can fight in a competition between fighters on behalf of our Yukinoshita Construction Company."
Ye Xing's expression did not change at all, he just remained noncommittal.
"I'm not a fighter."
"You will be the one fighting on behalf of the Yukinoshita Company."
"opponent?"
"Kyoto Municipal Bank."
"remuneration?"
"From the perspective of my mother and the company, it's 10 million."
Having said that, Yang Nai paused, then smiled.
"But I don't want to hide it from you, so I'll just tell you straight out."
"Thirty million. This is the highest price I can convince the board and my mother to pay."
Then, Yang Nai changed the subject and a serious look appeared on her pretty face.
"But, I have a condition."
Ye Xing disagreed.
“I have to guarantee to win?”
"Do not."
Unexpectedly, Yang Noi shook her head, pursed her lips, and said with complicated eyes.
"You must ensure that you have the strength to crush your opponent and that you will not be seriously injured in the battle, causing lifelong disability or even death."
"Otherwise, I'd rather find someone else and watch Yukinoshita Construction lose."
Ye Xing smiled and said nonchalantly.
"As long as we can win, isn't that enough? As for whether I will be disabled, it's not like you to be so indecisive when considering this."
“I also feel that this is not my style.”
Yukinoshita Haruno picked up the wine glass and shook it, watching the dark red wine swaying in the glass. She sighed slightly, and that seemingly sincere smile, whose eyes were as calm as a lake, appeared on her face again.
"But it's fun to do something that's not like myself every once in a while."
"Yeah..."
Ye Xing nodded without comment.
Connected.
Everything is connected.
He had already guessed who the fighter belonging to Kyoto Municipal Bank was.
Wu Lei'an.
The Wu family, who have been killers for generations, would never have suddenly come to Kyoto City if they had not received a commission.
Only a behemoth like Kyoto Municipal Bank is qualified to hire members of the Wu clan to become fighters representing them.
As for whether the bet made by the other party to Yukinoshita Construction Company was premeditated or a sudden whim, it is unknown.
"Crush."
Ye Xing raised the wine glass in his hand and smiled.
"no problem."
Yang Nai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, and also raised his glass and clinked it with his.
"Then leave it to you."
After drinking the whiskey in the glass, Ye Xing put down the glass and suddenly added a sentence.
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."
"what's up?"
Ye Xing stretched out his right hand, extended it in front of Yang Nai, and spoke confidently to the other party who had a puzzled look on his face.
"I just ordered a soda, one hundred and sixty bucks, you know what I mean?"
090 Taijutsu training with drunk Haruno
Yang Nai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head with a dumb smile, took out two hundred-dollar bills from his bag and put them in Ye Xing's hand.
"After all, I was late. I'll reimburse you, okay?"
"Hey, what do you mean?"
Ye Xing looked serious.
"Soda water is 160 yuan, and you gave me 200 yuan. What's your intention?"
Yang Nai smiled helplessly.
"Just consider it as payment for you to drink with me for a while longer and chat with me?"
Yexing rolled his eyes.
"Forty, then?"
Yang Nai had now gotten used to his speaking style and fought back without showing any weakness.
"Forty is pretty good. After all, I am the liaison between Party A and you. If I ask you to drink and chat with me, I will consider it as a kickback."
"Yeah, you have a point."
Listening to the conversation between Yexing and Yangno, Kawasaki Saki, who was wiping the wine glass with her back to them, couldn't help but feel curious.
What is the relationship between these two people?
Saki Kawasaki did not eavesdrop on purpose, but after all, the distance was so close that she could not help but hear some of the conversation, including the three words "Yukinoshita".
This surname is very rare.
Saki Kawasaki immediately remembered that there seemed to be a classmate named Yukinoshita Yukino in her class.
She said "seemed" because she couldn't remember the names of several people.
The reason why she was impressed by the name Yukinoshita Yukino was very simple.
This name sounds very nice.
Once you hear it, it's hard to forget.
What is the relationship between this beautiful woman who looks like a college student and exudes a mature temperament and Yukinoshita Yukino?
Or more importantly...
What is the relationship between the other party and Ye Xing?
We can meet alone in such an ambiguous bar, and call it an ordinary friend...
Who believes it?
Saki Kawasaki is not the type of person who is curious about other people's private affairs.
But the Night Star is an exception.
I don't know why, but ever since my sister Kawasaki Jinghua accidentally ran into him on the street last time, I have been asking myself about Ye Xing from time to time.
Saki Kawasaki was helpless about this.
How would she know anything about Ye Xing? They had never spoken to each other in school.
All that Kawasaki Saki knew about Ye Xing was his bad deeds, such as bringing a gun to school, threatening girls, being arrogant and domineering, and openly fighting.
She didn't intend to tell these things to her sister.
After all, Saki Kawasaki herself does not have a good image in the eyes of other classmates.
She knew too well that the so-called rumors had no credibility at all.
Saki Kawasaki just couldn't understand why her sister kept pestering her with questions after only meeting Yexing once.
Because the other person is very handsome?
I guess that's the case.
........
Two hours later.
"Well..."
Yang Nai drank the tequila in the glass in one gulp, his face flushed with drunkenness, his eyes were blurred, and there was a mist in his pupils.
"Continued Cup."
"Almost got it."
Ye Xing put down the wine glass in his hand.
"You drank too much."
"I...I can go on."
Looking at Yang Nai who couldn't even speak straight, Ye Xing didn't expect things to develop to this point.
At first, the two of them were just chatting casually.
Unexpectedly, we ended up talking about family matters.
Of course, when we say they were chatting, it was actually just Yang Nai talking and Ye Xing listening.
After all, he has no family.
I don't know why, but Yang Noi, who has always been cautious in her words and deeds and good at dealing with various social occasions, suddenly started to speak freely when chatting with him.
The expectations and pressures I have endured since childhood, my mother's teachings, the heavy weight of the Yukinoshita family name, and most importantly.
His feelings towards his younger sister Yukino are mixed with care and love, as well as a bit of jealousy and envy.
We've almost talked it all out.
Ye Xing could probably guess why Yang Nai said those words.
The environment in which the other party grew up can be described as high-pressure.
When everyone around you has extremely high expectations of you, this expectation is no longer a simple expectation, but an invisible shackle that binds you.
Yang is a genius in the true sense of the word.
And, she had no other choice but to become a genius.
As for why the person I am communicating these contents with is myself...
I'm afraid it's because Yang Noi can't find another person to communicate with.
Ye Xing has no relationship with the Yukinoshita family, nor with the father of the Yukinoshita sisters who is a member of the Chiba County Council.
The reason why he agreed to fight on behalf of Yukinoshita Construction Company was not so much because of the reward, but more because of the favor he had with Haruno.
Maybe it's the same as Mai Sakurajima.
