"So, if that time comes, will all of you here become one of the jackals?"

Hearing Shi Chen's question, the eldest lady, who had never had a good face, suddenly smiled.

"Yes!"

Sawakoshi Tomomasa, who was sitting in the center, affirmed, and did not let the young gentleman in the audience speak.

"But before that—" he waved his hand again, and then, respectfully, the butler took out a document next to him, "There is another option. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Still looking very interested, Shi Chen said.

"This is a transfer agreement for 20% of your company's shares." Holding the document in his hand very casually, as if he were holding a trivial 1 yen coin, the other party continued: "You two, and we, whether it is the Itsukushima family or the family represented by everyone here, are not enemies, at least not enemies. ”

"Well, that sounds like fun, but then what?"

"You two are the strongest of the younger generation, but you are not the most powerful among the young people—at least, your status—I mean among the younger generation, not enough to match your genius."

Indeed, whether it is someone or three thousand, it has always been the object of everyone's respect—perhaps with some of the slanderous attacks behind it.

But

"Do you want us to surrender our identities and mingle with these bastards?" The eldest lady held her head high and said disdainfully.

"Arrogance!"

"Look for death!"

With two bursts of shouting, the gentlemen's eyes became unkind, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The handsome butler took a light step forward, and his hands, which had been behind his back, parted and hung down naturally.

"Well, don't get excited, don't get excited." Someone who pressed his hands down lightly smiled: "It's a bit of a fuss to make a fuss about something that has nothing to do with business." ”

And Sawakoshi Tomomasa on the main seat also signaled to those gentlemen with his eyes not to get excited for the time being.

"Tosaka-kun is right, it's better to get down to business first, and then talk about those irrelevant things. Tosaka-kun, where did you just go? ”

"Hmm," Shi Chen pushed his glasses, "as if to say, how can we achieve a status worthy of our identity - then, listen to you." ”

"It's simple, work with us."

The words of the head of the family were loud and clear.

Originally, according to Jihua, he was going to adopt a more gentle way - after all, it is a wealthy family that has been inherited for a long time, and the necessary reserve still needs to be had, and it is more in line with his aesthetics to complete the cooperation in a gentle and elegant conversation than a naked exchange of interests. Moreover, if it is too direct, it may arouse the disgust of those two guys with strong self-esteem.

However, now that the situation is a little out of control, the head of the family decides to have a showdown with the other party and directly crush it with strong strength.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.

"Cooperation? What about the specifics? ”

A warm smile, an unhurried tone, someone behaves like a true gentleman - even though he's a berserker at heart.

"You will give up interfering in the affairs between the Jujo family and the Itsukushima family, and in exchange, we will give you the shares we acquired from you free of charge, and inject capital into their companies to support its growth. And all of you here will also give you full support and assistance in the future when you need it, and it is not impossible to make you your leader. With this, you can become the most deserving of the top of the younger generation. ”

"With such generous conditions, I'm a little tempted!" Closing his eyes and opening them again, Shi Chen said softly.

"For the strong, no amount of generous conditions can be excessive—because it's worth it." The eyes of the head of the family were burning, and he looked directly at Shi Chen.

The other young gentlemen also stared at him, oppressing him with silent pressure, waiting for his answer.

"Strong," Shi Chen chuckled, "shouldn't we add a 'obey you' as a qualifier in front of it?" ”

"Exactly." His Excellency the head of the family stared at him with a serious expression and a grim expression.

"Huh"

The eldest lady suddenly chuckled, and the laughter of silver bells filled the room.

"So, if we don't obey you, will these conditions become a weapon that threatens us?"

"Can I see this as your rejection? Tosaka-kun. After looking at him for a while, Ze Yue Zhi said expressionlessly.

"It depends on your answer." Shi Chen shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless expression.

"The Zeyue family, as well as the families of all of you here, are not allowed to be threatened and challenged."

After a little silence, Sawayue Zhizheng said lightly.

"Haha

I wanted to hear some funny joke, or watch some ridiculous circus, and I laughed happily from the mouth of Shi Chen. It makes the already solemn atmosphere even heavier.

"—the Zeyue family—and—all of you here—the family, are not allowed—threatened—and challenged, hahaha three thousand, have you heard? What a funny joke haha."

Shi Chen, who was already hunched over with laughter, slapped the armrest of the chair as he spoke, completely ignoring the ugly faces of most of the people in the room.

"Again?"

In a barely audible voice, Kaori Makishima, who was far away, said softly.

"Hmph, you guy, did you just find out?"

"Shichen, Nagi, pay attention!"

The pink-haired elder frowned and scolded.

"Oh haode I will"

"Bastard!"

Just when Shi Chen agreed intermittently, the anger of His Excellency the head of the family finally erupted belatedly.

His forehead was bruised, his face was pale, and his whole body was trembling—I mean trembling, and His Excellency stared at those two men who could not be described even with their audacity, as if they were going to kill them with their eyes.

Humiliation, it's red. Naked humiliation!

He really wanted to take them, and break these two bastards to pieces! Make one of them beep-beep-and the other-beep, pick them off, and send them to the mines of Africa to be with the lowly, smelling mongrels and be bep-beep-and-beep! Let these two bastards live better than die!

But alas, he couldn't.

Even if you don't count these two guys, it's just the damn butler in the back, and it's not something that the ordinary servants and guards under him can deal with - of course, the Zeyue family also has guys of that level, but it's not something he can command.

What's more, these two bastards are still two shili who are no worse than the Zeyue family, and one of them is still the heir of the family.

So he could only stare at them and curse them with eyes that were a mixture of anger, hatred, and resentment.

"You will pay for what you say." He said in a deep voice.

“haha”

Another burst of happy laughter.

The eldest lady on the other side snorted lightly and sneered, as if she was laughing at the other party's incompetence.

"—then, I'll wait."

After laughing, someone who was trying to make a serious appearance said this, and-

"Hey, Sanqian, do you want to wait?"

"Just wait a minute, hmph, though not much hope."

"Poof!"

Some frivolous gentlemen finally couldn't hold back, their shoulders trembling at an extremely high frequency, and the laughter that had not yet taken shape and which he had tried so hard to suppress erupted from his nostrils.

For a moment, the faces of the lord and the gentlemen became even more ugly.
