Chapter 52 - Chapter 52: The Client and the Contractor, the Gap in Status

"Who?!"

Kuraso sobered up from her slightly tipsy state, her flushed, delicate face instantly covered with a cold expression.

One hand quietly reached under the sofa.

Inside was an emergency silenced pistol.

"Don't be nervous," Su Ze said with a smile, patting her shoulder, and went to open the door.

He used to be like Kuraso, so he could perfectly understand her.

One could only say that the Organization was truly no place for people.

Su Ze opened the door, and Yukino Shitayuki was standing outside with a smiling face.

"Forgive my abrupt visit!" She bowed deeply, her smile like a small sun.

But through her exquisite makeup, one could see that her face was a bit tired and haggard.

Su Ze scanned her from head to toe and asked, "Is there something you need, Yukishita?"

Yukino Shitayuki met Mr. Su Ze's frank gaze, the words she had prepared swirling in her throat, her draft consumed by fire; finally, she opened her mouth and asked in the most direct way, "Mr. Su Ze, why do you trust Yukino so much? You don't seem to know her well."

Failed to negotiate with Yukino, so you want to bypass her and sign a contract with me?

Su Ze frowned and replied plainly, "Because I met her first."

Yukino Shitayuki clenched her slender hand into a fist and smiled, "You know, my sister is still young and naive."

Su Ze frowned and said, "Are you saying I should be worldly-wise and not refuse your 'kindness' like your sister?"

A day had passed, and Yukino Shitayuki had not managed to settle things with Yukino Yukinoshita.

Under the influence of emotions like unwillingness, regret, fear, and anxiety, her behavior regressed!

So much so that she said things she would never have said before!

"You misunderstood!" Yukino Shitayuki hastily denied.

Su Ze interrupted her directly, "Some impoverished Kengan Association members are selling their participation rights; it's only one hundred million yen, and I can afford it."

With that, he was about to close the door.

Yukino Shitayuki truly panicked, hastily blocking the door and waving her hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, no! You misunderstood, I came to see you this time for something else!"

Su Ze raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to continue.

Yukino Shitayuki had no other business; this was just an excuse she blurted out in a hurry.

However, she was an elite young lady after all, with strong improvisational skills, and a flash of inspiration led her to say, "Yukino has agreed; I wanted to invite you to dinner on behalf of Yukinoshita and sign the contract."

Su Ze nodded, "I see, what's the specific time?"

He didn't doubt Yukino Shitayuki's words.

After all, such a lie would be easily exposed and would only completely offend him.

"Nine PM, Shangri-La Hotel; I'll wait for you on the first floor." Yukino Shitayuki appeared respectful on the surface, but her heart was in a panic.

"Would you like to come in and sit for a bit? I happen to want to introduce someone to you." Su Ze nodded.

Yukino Shitayuki forced herself to stay calm and said, "Then I shall impose."

She still wanted to use the last bit of time to persuade her stubborn sister.

But she couldn't refuse Mr. Su Ze's request.

Yukino Shitayuki followed Su Ze into the house and immediately saw the piled beer cans in the living room and Kuraso sitting attentively.

Coincidentally, Kuraso also looked at her.

"A rare silver-haired beauty."

This was Yukino Shitayuki's first impression.

Then she felt that this was a capable person, which was evident from the other party's posture; a confident aura almost overflowed.

And when their eyes met, there was a sharp sense of contention, seemingly an assessment.

"This is Kuraso, my Kengan Matches assistant." Su Ze introduced.

In an instant, Yukino Shitayuki's gaze also became sharp, and an internal alarm blared, making her secretly cry out in dismay.

She had misjudged Mr. Su Ze's position!

This was not an uncarved jade, but a talent who had already achieved greatness!

This meant that Mr. Su Ze was not bluffing earlier; if a contract couldn't be reached with Yukinoshita, he could immediately find other avenues!

The uncertainty brought by the information asymmetry made Yukino Shitayuki very uneasy.

But none of this could be revealed; she still had to maintain a facade of composure.

"Hello, I'm Yukino Shitayuki, Mr. Su Ze's manager for this Kengan Matches!" Yukino Shitayuki extended her hand proactively.

"I am Kuraso." Kuraso looked directly at the young lady of Yukinoshita and shook her hand.

The moment she held Kuraso's hand, Yukino Shitayuki's mood grew heavier.

Kuraso's palm looked delicate, but in reality, there was a thin layer of calluses at the joints, and her hand was steady and strong.

This person has held a gun…

She found it somewhat incomprehensible how Mr. Su Ze, a student, knew such people.

The two looked very familiar, and they had probably just been drinking.

But Yukinoshita's intelligence network had no information on this Kuraso!

"Haha, Kuraso, are your two-colored eyes natural? They are very beautiful." Yukino Shitayuki praised seemingly casually.

Her acting was excellent; when she spoke, her eyes seemed to sparkle.

If an outsider saw it, they would definitely think this was a sincere compliment from Miss Yukishita, without any ulterior motive.

"Yes, thank you." Kuraso smiled and said nothing polite.

"I wonder what kind of work Kuraso did before." Yukino Shitayuki smiled.

"No comment." Kuraso refused to answer.

Yukino Shitayuki's mouth twitched, and she immediately felt it was even more troublesome.

Logically, if someone answers your first question, the probability of them answering the second question also increases.

But Kuraso was not affected by this social rule at all; her refusal was unusually direct.

The Organization could certainly invent a reason or fabricate an identity.

But was it necessary?

Not at all!

The more you say, the more you expose.

Ultimately, it was Yukinoshita who was asking Mr. Su Ze, not Mr. Su Ze asking Yukinoshita.

As a member of Mr. Su Ze's side, Kuraso could be completely assertive.

Taking away the right to speak as a "weakling" was not even to be considered!

She was not some incompetent fool, but a genuine elite of the Organization.

"Hehe, that will be very troublesome, after all, we will still need to cooperate later." Yukino Shitayuki smiled.

She started using her usual tactic of pressuring others with the bigger picture.

This was appropriate in any business negotiation because both parties would consider their interests.

But unfortunately, this tactic was ineffective here.

Because she was never the client.

"Haha, you can rest assured about Kuraso's abilities; we were just discussing which contestants there are." Su Ze revealed a mouthful of white teeth and laughed.

With Mr. Su Ze's intervention, Yukino Shitayuki naturally couldn't cling to the topic and could only let it go.

The three chatted and discussed for a while, settling on the arrangements, and then Yukino Shitayuki bid farewell and left.

Inside the room, only Su Ze and Kuraso remained.

Kuraso frowned and asked, "Why do I feel that Miss Yukishita is a bit strange?"

There was a hint of worry in her words.

Su Ze smiled and patted Kuraso's head, "Relax, Kuraso."

It was this phrase again, and this intimate gesture…

Kuraso didn't resist, only pursed her lips in silence.
