Chapter 20 Contributions
In the office of the big-eyed old man Kirizo, the fierce-looking red-haired young man Fukuda was reporting to him the news he had found in the past few days: "Boss, I have inquired clearly, that kid's money was obtained from Kageyama Enterprises, Kageyama Tou, the son of Kageyama Hero, wrote him a check for 15 million, he withdrew 6.5 million, and the rest are stored in Mitsubishi Bank." β
The old man asked, "Do you know why Kageyama Toru gave him money?" β
Fukuda said, "It's as if Kageyama bought a painting by an unknown artist from a private auction, and if the check wasn't picked up by Araki's good luck, then Kageyama bought the painting he sold." β
The old man touched his chin and said, "If his family has a painting worth 15 million, how can Hiroshi Araki's mongrel run away?" β
Fukuda shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. β
The old man smiled gloomily: "Go and inquire where his paintings came from, maybe he knows the unknown painter." I have always been very interested in art, and to be able to paint such a painting worth 15 million yuan, that unknown painter is naturally already at the master level, and I will definitely visit him if I have the opportunity. β
Fukuda nodded and said, "I'll check it out right away." β
The old man said, "Don't mention this matter to anyone else, especially Fujiwara." β
Fukuda glanced up at him, then lowered his head again, and said respectfully, "I know, BOSS." β

Yosuke Akasaka yawned and walked out of the elevator, the editorial department has been in trouble because of Long Kongyun's affairs in the past few days, so that he, an inconsequential rookie editor, has been implicated in it.
"Son of Gods and Demons" is actually coming to an end! As the manga that has long been the best-selling manga in JUMP, "Children of Gods and Demons" has only been surpassed by a few manga in the survey ranking. One is "Psychic Boy", which has been over for a year, and the other is "Final Weapon", which is still being serialized.
These three comics, which have dominated the top three manga sales in Japan in the past few years, are proof of the true rise of G Society. But now the G-Society's top three manga in Japan have become two.,And it's about to become one.,
"Son of Gods and Demons" is Long Kongyun's famous work, which has been serialized for seven years. As a perennial TOP1 manga, you can imagine how many fans it has, and you can imagine how many readers the entire "Weekly Shonen JUMK" will lose once "Children of Gods and Demons" ends.
But none of this is what Yosuke Akasaka cares about, he's just an innocuous rookie editor, and his job in the editorial department is to be called around and run errands for the big editors.
Even if "Son of Gods and Demons" ends such a big event, there will naturally be a tall editor on top of it, and the company will not take a marginal person like him if he wants to get angry.
He lazily walked to the reception area and found a tall and thin boy sitting there, drinking tea in his hand unhurriedly, and he still had a file bag in his hand, it seemed that he was the newcomer who came to submit this time.
When he heard that the other party was still a high school student, senior editor Kuwabara felt impatient. You have to make sure you have enough time to draw comics, how much time can high school students squeeze into? And according to the immature brushwork of a high school student, the things drawn must be unsightly, so Kuwabara asked Yosuke Akasaka to entertain this newcomer.
Yosuke Akasaka understands these truths. However, he can't be too domineering, which will damage the image of G Society. Besides, he also had to thank the high school student in front of him for temporarily leaving the editing room, which was now at war.
"You're the Araki-kun who came to submit this time, right? My name is Yosuke Akasaka, and I am the editor of the JUMK editorial department. Yosuke Akasaka said with his hand outstretched.
"My name is Araki Haku, please advise." Araki Bai stood up, stretched out his hand and shook the other's hand.
Yosuke Akasaka sat down by himself and said casually, "Sit down, don't be too formal, this is your manga, right?" Can you show me? β
Araki Haku moved the document bag in his hand to Yosuke Akasaka.
Yosuke Akasaka opened the file bag and took the manuscript out of the file bag.
βγSamsaraγοΌβ Yosuke Akasaka was fascinated when he saw the cover.
A young man in a black high school uniform, he was holding a katana in one hand, his face was grim, and he looked very handsome. He also held a girl in his arms, looking extremely delicate, but with a pair of unforgettable breasts, it was almost like jumping out of the paper. The characters are very delicate and elegant, and they look like a work of art, which is completely different from the rough style of painting that is popular in manga today. It makes Yosuke Akasaka look bright.
Yosuke Akasaka raised his head in a daze and asked uncertainly, "Araki-kun, is this really your work?" β
Araki Bai replied, "Yes, is there any problem?" β
Yosuke Akasaka nodded stupidly and said, "No problem, you drew very well." β
Araki Bai thanked him.
Yosuke Akasaka placed the cover at the bottom of the stack of manga and began to read the manga.
This style of painting is so beautiful, Yosuke Akasaka can't believe that someone can actually draw such a comic...... Moreover, this manga is not just a beautiful vase, but also has a very attractive world view. The world after death, the instructions of the mysterious people, the people struggling to survive, defeat monsters, complete tasks, exchange weapons and equipment skill items...... It looks like a masterpiece of some game.
But the content of the manga is not as virtual as the game. Antagonism, love, understanding, sacrifice between people...... Many relationships are condensed into a comic that is less than fifty pages long. There are too many hot-blooded comics in this world, and it is indeed refreshing at first glance, but it will make people feel tired of reading too much. And the comic in front of me, this short story, has redefined a direction for the comics. By excavating human nature, the dark and light sides of human beings are revealed, and finally the theme of love is closed......
It wasn't until he finished reading the last page that Yosuke Akasaka suddenly felt dazed, and all the thoughts about other things in his head vanished, and he just wanted to read the next plot happily. What will happen to the protagonist Hikaru Suzuki and Senpai Akane Nishino after they return to reality? Will there be progress in their relationship? What will be the second reincarnation? What will be the effect of Suzuki's ability to redeem light? β¦β¦
"That's not right! Now is not the time to think about that! Yosuke Akasaka suddenly woke up, he looked up and said to Araki Shiraku, "Araki-kun, have you ever voted for this short story in other magazines?" β
Araki Shiro shook his head.
"Don't vote for other magazines, I'll help you vote for next week's Yongchuan Award, and you can definitely get the first place according to your level!" Yosuke Akasaka said excitedly.
Araki Bai smiled slightly and said, "Is that so, that's great." Thank you, Mr. Akasaka. β
