"There are a lot of things going on here, and even though you may not be able to accept it, that's how it is."
"..."
Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Luo Shu and opened her mouth, then finally smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying:
"The Phoenix I've been looking for for years was actually right in front of me. To be honest, I wanted to hit him just now."
"Who do you want to hit?" Luo Shu asked curiously.
"Hit myself."
Iwanaga Kotoko rolled her eyes, then took off one of her shoes, rudely pulled her legs onto the sofa, leaned against the back of the sofa and said:
"It was a mistake, because it was difficult to get in touch with them. I knew very well that the top leaders of the secret organization would definitely carry some abyssal props to protect their own information..."
"So all this time, I never thought about investigating the racial backgrounds of the members of the Phoenix Society..."
"I didn't expect that President Revel was actually the Phoenix I was looking for."
“This is really….”
If I had to use one word to describe Iwanaga Kotoko's feelings, then only the word regret can accurately describe it.
If I had to use three words, it would be "I'm really sorry"!
She never thought that she would be so close to Phoenix, so close that she could almost touch him with just her hand.
And the most speechless thing is that she had actually been cooperating with Luo Shu and helping him capture Ravel Phoenix.
What is this called?
Putting the key to the vault into someone else's arms?
How could I be so stupid?
Seeing Iwanaga Kotoko slapping her forehead in frustration, Luo Shu felt a little sorry for her, so he chose to comfort her:
"Think about it carefully. This is not your fault, Miss Iwanaga."
"After all, even those who are mystical would not divine the origins of everyone around them."
"That's true..."
Iwanaga Kotoko seemed to believe what Luo Shu said:
"No matter what, no one would be so bored as to perform divination on a person they just met and pry into other people's privacy, right?"
Apart from people like me, no one would be so bored as to use the power of divination to do such a thing... Luo Shu grumbled in his heart.
Of course, even though he complained in his heart, Luo Shu was still very clear that divination was a rare skill.
Although it seems that many people Luo Shu meets can tell fortunes, this is just the survivor effect.
Normal divination is not as convenient as the mystical encyclopedia and divination books used by Luo Shu.
Even for the encyclopedia of occult science, the fortune teller needs to lock on the identity of the person being fortune-told and obtain a portion of the genetic material in order to perform accurate information divination.
This is the case even for demigod-level items like encyclopedias, not to mention others.
The most convenient and efficient divination that Luo Shu had ever seen was the ability to search through volumes of divination.
However, even so, facing a demigod, it is still difficult to obtain specific information through divination.
This is because strong people at the demigod level are generally good at anti-divination.
Even a hero like Luo Shu has the means to transfer the object of divination and change it into the concept of natural disaster for sacrifice in the body.
And if it is a more powerful demigod or even an apostle, he can even follow the divination line and directly attack the diviner on the spiritual level.
Therefore, although the power of divination is strong, the risk is also very high. If the divination is about a giant, the end may be more painful than death.

This is also the reason why in novels and TV dramas, there are always fortune tellers who reveal the secrets of heaven and suffer backlash.
Compared to Luo Shu who has a cheat, Iwanaga Kotoko, who is not as confident, naturally will not use the ability of divination casually.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have worked with Revel for several years without realizing that she was a pure-blooded Phoenix.
But with this description, I don’t know whether to say that Iwanaga Kotoko’s luck is good or bad.
You could say she was lucky, as the promotion materials had been dangling in front of her for a long time. You could say she was unlucky, as she only realized it after the promotion materials fell into someone else's hands.
I can only say it is horrible, inhumane, and so miserable that it hurts...
...... ..... 0
Even Luo Shu looked at Iwanaga Kotoko with a bit of pity.
"I feel like I should study the divination techniques carefully in the future..."
Iwanaga Kotoko rubbed her temples, then opened her eyes slightly and asked Luo Shu tentatively:
"So, considering how pitiful I am, can you, Luo Shujun, allow me to meet President Revel?"
"Of course!" Luo Shu responded without thinking.
However, before he could see the happy expression on Iwanaga Kotoko's face, he immediately shouted to Yukinoshita Yukino who was standing beside him:
"Yukino, go get the indenture from my closet... oh no, go get the cooperation contract."
After saying this, Luo Shu glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino who turned to leave the reception room, then turned around and looked at Iwanaga Kotoko with a smile and said:
"By the way, what did you just say?"
"You want to meet Revel? Sure~ I can arrange a meeting for you~"
Hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko's mouth twitched, and she looked at Luo Shu with an embarrassed expression and said:
"Although I know your conditions are certainly very harsh, but selling yourself indenture is a bit too much, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Luo Shu crossed his legs and leaned on the sofa, pressing his big hands on the armrests on both sides of the sofa, slightly raised his chin, and smiled:
"Just tell me whether you will sign or not!!"
Iwanaga Kotoko: "..." Spoon.
Chapter 274 updated with new content
Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Luo Shu hesitantly, her pitiful expression just like that of a newborn pastoral dog.
However, facing Iwanaga Kotoko's pitiful expression, Luo Shu sneered:
"There's no point in pretending to be pitiful."
Hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko's expression suddenly changed. She took the brown scroll sent by Yukinoshita Yukino with a look of disgust. Before opening it, she complained speechlessly:
"So, what the hell is a body contract?"
"It's modern society, and in a normal civilized country, is this something that can be produced?"
Luo Shu glanced at her and asked:
"So what's that thing in your hand?"
Iwanaga Kotoko suddenly became embarrassed and muttered:
"Can't we discuss the terms?"
"Or is it that the secret management department you manage is really so short of people that this "980" urgently needs me to join?"
"It's not joining, it's selling yourself to join." Luo Shu leaned his elbow on the armrest of the sofa, holding his cheek and said: "Of course, it's more appropriate to say that it's signing a contract and becoming my clan."
"Oh?" Iwanaga Kotoko narrowed her eyes, her expression like a kitten that had eaten dried fish: "Your clan? This is not an expression that can be used casually~"
As she spoke, she unfolded the scroll and memorized the contents in her mind with just a quick glance:
"It's just an ordinary employment contract..."
"The monthly salary is 30 yen, 14 salaries per year, and a pay raise. Apart from tax exemptions like religious laws, it can only be said to be an upper-middle-class job..."
As a lady born into a wealthy family, Kotoko Iwanaga naturally would not care about something like salary. After all, her annual salary was not as much as her weekly pocket money.
She was more concerned about what Luo Shu had just said and what the contract in her hand revealed:
"There's something wrong with the texture of the scroll... No, I should say that these textures are the real contents of the contract..."
"It looks a bit like the 'Divine Writing' I've seen before, and it's also a bit like the 'Demon Language' that is secret in 'Truth Astronomy'. Is it a variant?"
Luo Shu just watched Iwanaga Kotoko chewing her thumb and studying it in detail, and listened to her mutterings. Then, he looked at her strangely and said:
"What's the point of what you're saying?"
"Since I hid the content in the texture, it is obviously because the real content cannot be exposed."
"Then, you studied it in front of me and told me about it?"
"If you refuse now and don't study these, I might be able to let you go on the grounds that 'you don't know the secrets', but now, do you think I can still let you go after you refuse?"
"Are you dissatisfied with your long life?"
Upon hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko used the scroll to cover the lower half of her face, leaving only her cunning eyes exposed:
"So, this in my hand is the reason for establishing the Secret Management Department?"
Luo Shu glanced at Iwanaga Kotoko, turned around, and extended his hand to Yukinoshita Yukino who was standing beside the sofa.
Miss Yukino calmly handed a Type 54 pistol to Luo Shu, and considerately installed a silencer on it. Then she glanced at Iwanaga Kotoko, as if everything was self-evident.
Before Luo Shu could turn the gun, Iwanaga Kotoko immediately raised her hands and said:
"I surrender, I surrender!! Don't be so irritable~~"
Luo Shu sneered when he heard this, slapped the gun next to the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and then stared at Iwanaga Kotoko:
"Don't do anything fancy, and don't whine over there. Whether it will succeed or not is a matter of one sentence. So, will it succeed or not?"
"Hasn't anyone said that your tone now sounds like that of a gangster?"
Iwanaga Kotoko seemed to be playing dumb, but when she saw Luo Shu raising his eyebrows in displeasure, she immediately changed her words:
"So after signing the contract, you will definitely give me Phoenix's tears, right?"
"I just ask this one question, and this is the last question, so don't put your hands on the gun..."
"My body is not bulletproof!!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Shu took his hand away from the gun, glanced at Iwanaga Kotoko, and immediately explained:
"I will find a way to give you Phoenix's tears. Of course, if you want to use this as a bargaining chip for signing the contract, in principle, I can agree to it."
"That's it..."
Iwanaga Kotoko said with a wry smile, then bit her thumb with her canine teeth, signed her name on the scroll, and complained:
"I always feel that cooperating with you, Luo Shujun, is a wrong decision..."
"In the end, it seems that even I lost money. This is really a huge loss..."
Luo Shu silently watched Iwanaga Kotoko sign the scroll with the blood from her thumb. When the girl had almost finished signing, he said:
"This contract can actually be signed with a pen. As long as it is signed by the person himself, it will still be effective even if there is no bloodline information... 0 "
Iwanaga Kotoko blinked, subconsciously put her thumb into her mouth, sucked it for a few times, and then she realized what Luo Shu said.
Immediately, Iwanaga Kotoko said with a sad face:
"Wouldn't you have said this earlier!!!"
Luo Shu's mouth twitched, and he almost couldn't help laughing. He quickly turned his head and looked at Yukinoshita Yukino:
"Yukino, why didn't you remind Miss Iwanaga?"
Yukinoshita Yukino did not answer, but silently raised the pen in her hand and said faintly:
"I was just about to give it to her...but she bit my hand suddenly, it was too fast, I couldn't defend myself..."
This one "failed to defend" made Iwanaga Kotoko's mentality collapse instantly.
However, before her mentality collapsed, a piece of information suddenly came from the unknown and was instilled into her mind.
In an instant, Iwanaga Kotoko seemed to have lost her soul. She just leaned on the sofa in a daze, her eyes empty and blank.
Seeing this increasingly exaggerated stiff reaction, Luo Shu couldn't help but ask curiously:
