Okubo felt that this question was rather strange.
Shika Kagura, his temporary contracted mercenary Spirit-branded Retainer … the "Reaper's Curse."
He had wanted to use her special ability to destroy his opponent's spell formation, but it had been a waste of time and effort.
Not only had he wasted his money, time, and effort, but he had also suffered a great deal. In order to avoid the misfortune that would befall him if he came into contact with the "Reaper's Curse," he had no choice but to use methods that made him feel uncomfortable.
His plan had failed, and his self-confidence had turned into humiliation … as for that Spirit-branded Retainer, she was nothing but trash.
No, she was worse than trash — trash! Okubo didn't want to go near this trash.
Why did Haruta Seiji ask about this trash?
Okubo mulled it over.
"Haruta-kun, are you worried that you'll end up like Shika Kagura if you listen to my instructions?"
"That's not necessary. As long as you help me, I'll definitely defeat Wanhua Summer Night, and I'll definitely fulfill my promise."
'Actually, I won't.
'After I use you, you'll be useless, and I won't care about you anymore.'
But right now, he had to pretend to be sincere.
"That's not my question," the voice on the other end of the phone said. "I'm asking what you think of her. Please answer me directly."
Okubo felt that something was amiss.
Why did he care so much about that trash?
Oh, right, Shika Kagura was quite beautiful, so perhaps he …
'What an idiot.
Falling in love with the "Reaper's Curse" was truly the height of idiocy! Granted, that woman was quite beautiful, but anyone who got close to her would suffer misfortune, and being interested in her would be suicidal. '
Okubo felt even more disdain for this trash.
'Trash falling in love with trash … hmph, what a perfect combination.' He thought to himself mockingly.
But he couldn't show it on his face.
"Haruta-kun, could it be that you're in love with Shika Kagura? She's quite beautiful, but this isn't a good choice. I suggest that you think things over carefully.
As for me … I'm only treating her as an employer. I have no interest in her at all, and I've never even touched her before.
I'm a smart person who takes care of myself. I won't be so stupid as to touch the Reaper's Curse. I'm different from an idiot like you.
"She's injured and captured, but you're not worried at all, and you don't want to save her at all, right?" The voice continued to ask.
Okubo was getting impatient.
Enough of being asked such an idiotic question!
"Why should I worry about her!? She was just a mercenary, a mercenary! It didn't matter if he was injured, caught, or killed! I only hired her and paid her, that's all! "
That woman was just a temporary tool, nothing more.
Okubo made his intentions clear.
If trash wants trash, then take it! I don't care at all.
"I understand. Thank you for your honesty," the voice said politely.
"Haruta-kun, you …"
"Tokubo-san, after hearing so much from you, I'll give you an answer now."
Seiji spoke into his cell phone in an incredibly clear voice.
"I'm sorry, but I have to reject your request."
'Reject …' Okubo's mind went blank when he heard this.
But before he could think of anything or say anything, the voice continued.
"Although I thought of it long ago, after hearing it from your own mouth, I can confirm it, Tokubo-san … no, Okubo Yoshiaki.
You really are … a complete bastard. "
These calm yet forceful words slammed into Okubo's chest through the phone.
"For a bastard like you, no matter how great your promise is, it's nothing more than a fart to me, because people like you aren't trustworthy at all.
Someone like you was actually a 'child prodigy' in the past? Perhaps it's because you were once a 'child prodigy …' You've completely fallen.
This isn't just about your personality, it's also about your actual situation … I'm guessing that you're currently in a hopeless situation, or almost hopeless situation. "
Hopeless situation … Okubo suffered a heavy blow!
He felt as if he was being seen through.
That was because he truly was at the end of his rope!
When Wanhua Summer Night challenged him to a duel, he thought that he would be able to deal with this negotiation, but the reality was completely different from what he expected.
From start to finish, he was being led around by the nose by his opponent. No matter what he did to resist, counterattack, or even struggle, he was easily dealt with by his opponent.
He discovered that the cards he thought he had were completely unreliable in the end! As for his opponent … Wanhua Summer Night, it was as if she had the entire world standing behind her, as she continuously played the cards that he thought she didn't have!!
Just like that, he was brutally crushed, utterly defeated at the negotiating table.
'Why is it like this!?
Wasn't that girl rejected by her family because of her idiotic thoughts!? Why are there so many people supporting her!!? ' Okubo roared inwardly.
The information he received was completely wrong.
The negotiation plan he had come up with beforehand, full of confidence … was completely useless. It was like a joke.
After the negotiation ended, Okubo remained in a daze for a long time.
It was as if he was an elementary school student who was confident that he would get a high score, only to find out that he got a red zero on his test.
It took him quite some time to regain his senses, and then he went on a rampage again, smashing many things.
Now that he was forced to face reality, Okubo desperately tried to come up with a plan to turn the situation around. After thinking for a long time, he finally realized … that he could make use of Haruta Seiji!
This piece of trash from the Haruta Family, who had been exiled from the family, could be easily won over with promises of benefits.
That was what he believed … that was all he could believe.
And so, Okubo made a phone call and spent a lot of effort and effort talking to this piece of trash.
But the result was …
"I'm guessing that you were completely defeated by Wanhua Summer Night in the negotiation of the duel, and you had no choice but to accept many unfavorable conditions, to the extent that if you don't do anything else, you'll definitely lose the duel.
"And you can't afford to lose this duel, because you can't afford to lose anymore. You're in a terrible situation to begin with, and you're betting everything you have left on this duel — it's your last gamble.
"You really can't afford to lose, so you're desperately thinking about what else you can do, and the result is that you called an outsider who's staying at Wanhua Summer Night's place, which is me, and you want to use me to plot against her … just like how you used the 'Reaper's Curse.'
"If you didn't need to use me, you wouldn't even talk to a piece of trash like me who was exiled from the family, right? That must be what you think, because your real attitude of disdain and contempt can be heard just from your tone. It's too obvious. "
Okubo chuckled coldly.
"Did I guess correctly? Okubo Yoshiaki. "
Okubo's body began trembling slightly.
Everything was correct.
The person on the phone … had guessed everything correctly!
How was this possible? How was this possible!? Just how did he …
"You can't be wondering right now how a piece of trash like him could guess my true situation, right?"
Another sentence seemed to be able to read Okubo's mind as if he could read his mind.
"It's actually quite simple. As long as I know what kind of bastard you are, I'll be able to guess your current situation and what you're thinking." Okubo said coldly. "As a piece of trash, it's only natural for me to understand how bastards think."
