Although the old lady was also a woman, from an aesthetic point of view, she clearly did not fit Pikachu's aesthetic standards. Now that he was being stared at by the old lady with such a fervent gaze, he suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.
"Pika ~"
Especially when the old lady grabbed him and wanted to rub her face against him. A red mark suddenly appeared on his forehead, and he began to warn her.
"Pikachu, don't …"
Kaede Sato noticed that Pikachu was starting to show signs of anger. Of course, he knew that Pikachu wanted to electrocute someone again, but his target was an old and frail lady. He did not dare to take the risk and quickly tried to stop Pikachu.
However, before Kaede Sato could say anything, Pikachu's anger was dispelled by the old lady taking out a piece of orange-yellow biscuit from her arms. Then, under the old lady's skillful massage technique, he let out a series of comfortable moans.
"Young man, don't worry. This old lady is very familiar with little elves like Pikachu. I'll return him to you."
After the old lady carefully massaged Pikachu's body, she turned her head and smiled at Kaede Sato. Then, she placed Pikachu back on Kaede Sato's shoulder.
"Ah, it's good that you're fine. This guy really doesn't like to be touched by strangers, but you're really amazing. This is the first time I've seen him show such a comfortable expression after being touched by someone."
Kaede Sato heard this and quickly said respectfully to the old lady, and at the same time, complimented her.
After what she said just now, how could he not know that this fashionably dressed old lady in front of him was an expert? She was able to see through Pikachu's secrets one by one just by observing him. It was really amazing.
"Hohoho ~ ~, of course. This old lady's massage technique is unparalleled in the world. Under the effect of my skillful hands, there isn't a little elf in this world that can't be tamed by me."
Obviously, Kaede Sato's compliment just now scratched the old lady's itch. When she heard Kaede Sato's words, her face immediately showed a smug expression, and then she laughed out loud.
"Tsk, didn't I teach you that massage technique of yours? What's there to be proud of?"
At this time, Takeda Jiro, who was being ignored, obviously did not like this situation. He very untimely and softly rebuked the old lady.
"What, you old thing, you still have the face to say that? You're the one who taught me, but in the end, you're still surpassed me. That's too bad. I'm proud of myself, I'm happy to do that...
So what? "The old lady's ears were very sharp. She very keenly heard Takeda Jiro's whispers. Her little face suddenly froze, and then her face quickly darkened. She quickly turned her head, pointed at Takeda Jiro's nose, and shouted loudly.
"Nonsense, I'm the one who let you do that. Do you really think you've surpassed me? How about we have a competition now?"
Takeda Jiro did not dare to accept the old lady's taunting in front of outsiders. He immediately said in a very unconvinced manner.
"Sure, let's have a competition. I'm not afraid of you. Young man, you be the judge."
When the old lady saw that Takeda Jiro, who was usually very obedient to her, actually dared to talk back to her, she became even more furious. In the end, she even dragged Kaede Sato into this sudden battle.
Ten minutes later, the old lady was eating with a smug look on her face, while Takeda Jiro looked very sullen. As for Kaede Sato, at this time, he was sitting upright and still.
Obviously, judging from the results of the competition, the old lady was better.
"It seems that I've come to the right place. With two masters in this cultivation house, it would be hard for it not to become popular."
"That being said, the two old men are so powerful. They must have powerful connections. If they want to open up the cultivation house, the trainers who have received their favor will do everything they can to support them."
"That's strange. Should I ask?"
After a simple competition, Kaede Sato was very clear that the two old men in front of him were real masters. The possibility of them being scammers was infinitely close to zero. But because of this, a huge doubt quickly appeared in his mind, which made him feel a little worried.
Soon, lunch time was over. The old lady went to do the dishes, leaving Kaede Sato and Takeda Jiro alone in the living room.
"Young man, are you wondering why the two of us don't have the money to build a cultivation house?"
After the old lady walked away, Takeda Jiro broke the silence and voiced out the doubts in Kaede Sato's heart.
"I do have such doubts. Both of you are very capable people. I'm sure your connections must be very powerful. You don't look like people who can't raise money."
Kaede Sato heard Takeda Jiro's words. He did not hold back and admitted to his doubts.
"The old lady and I do have good connections. We have some savings. In the beginning, raising funds was very smooth. In fact, before that, my cultivation house was already in the process of being built.
"Who would've thought that a sudden disaster would happen? A storm destroyed the cultivation house that was under construction. Now, this old man still owes someone a huge debt. I don't have the face to borrow money from others. This is the only way to raise funds."
"Sigh, this is fate. Why do you think this Gaioka suddenly came to land? How unlucky."
Since Kaede Sato admitted to his doubts, Takeda Jiro did not intend to hide anything. He directly stated his reasons and his current difficult situation.
“....”
After listening to Takeda Jiro's words, Kaede Sato felt a strong sense of guilt. It turned out that he was the one who caused the old man to fall into his current predicament.
Now that he thought about it, the route he took to lure Gaioka was indeed very close to Road 117. No, he passed by Road 117.
Obviously, Gaioka's crossing of the border was not a good thing. The weather he created brought great disaster to many people.
"I see. How much money do you need, sir? Although my abilities are limited, I still have some savings. I believe that with the two of you, the cultivation house will be a profitable investment."
Kaede Sato did not hesitate this time. He directly expressed his willingness to invest in the cultivation house.
"Let's not talk about the debt for now. To build the lowest-level cultivation house, I still need at least two to three hundred million Alliance Coins. Of course, this is only the construction cost. The subsequent renovation and other expenses will only add up."
When Takeda Jiro heard that Kaede Sato was willing to invest, his face immediately brightened up. However, when he remembered that the cultivation house still needed a large amount of initial funds, he sighed.
"There are more than 60 million Alliance Coins in this card. I'm sorry, that's all I have for now."
Seeing this, Takeda Sato immediately took out the anonymous bank card from his body, then handed it to Takeda Jiro, and said with a slightly apologetic expression.
"Please don't say that. With this large amount of money from you, my cultivation house can be restarted. As long as it can be restarted, it won't be so difficult to raise funds later. Your money is timely, young man."
"How about this? You will own one-third of the cultivation house's shares."
Takeda Jiro was shocked to see that a young man like Kaede Sato could come up with a huge amount of 60 million Alliance Coins. However, when he thought about the Pikachu on Kaede Sato's shoulder, he suddenly understood. He then said excitedly, "Let's go.
