Presenting Our Questions to the Gods

Private villa, reception room.

The two teams of bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses slowly retreated, and the subtle sense of oppression finally dissipated.

"I bumped into this young lady at the mall and was amazed by her refined manners and conversation. Since I happen to be without a guide, I'll have to trouble Asuna..."

Countess Lara's smile was not formulaic at all; she even warmly linked arms with Asuna Yuuki to show affection.

At the host's wave, the man with dark circles under his eyes obediently poured red tea for the couple and their son, Koichiro Yuuki.

Forced to wear a tuxedo, Kevin couldn't help but lament his tragic fate.

Half an hour ago, he was wondering which bastard had the audacity to install four or five cameras and watch the show from behind the scenes.

As a result, he stormed into the monitoring room to confront them, only to be thoroughly humiliated by Alice and Lara, who were lying in wait.

Although Asuna Yuuki was cleared of suspicion, the commander, whose actions were suspicious, ended up getting himself into trouble.

The charge of making improper advances towards a minor is no small matter...

Therefore, Alice used the excuse of training (because he couldn't even beat two unarmed Junior High School Student girls) to give him a severe beating.

Countess Lara was an accomplice, while policewoman Jill was responsible for blocking the door...

Hehe... women...

Seeing her butler so obedient, Lara raised the corners of her lips and nodded slightly, a sense of smugness rising within her as she felt in control of the situation.

Alice, on the second floor, was waiting in the Countess's bedroom, dividing the spoils with Jill.

"I've had my eye on Lara's tequila and Bor wines for a while now..."

"The 16th-century Latin Bible manuscript is yours..."

Jill carefully put away the parchment-like ancient book from the box, exchanged fist bumps with the instructor, and smiled happily.

"That ruby ring looks nice too. Should we each have one on an odd-numbered or even-numbered day?"

Alice poured the decanted wine into two stemmed glasses, then held up one and handed it to Jill.

"It's a pity I can only choose three items, otherwise I was also planning to take a look at Lara's collection of Damascus knives..."

Jill pointed to the busy butler in a tuxedo on the screen, a bright smile on her face.

"Renewable resources can be used indefinitely; just sell them a few more times..."

Alice squinted and chuckled, nodding happily.

"Great idea, let's work together!"

The two clinked glasses and then downed the mellow red wine in one gulp.

Although this commander held absolute authority on the battlefield, and no one would question his decisions.

Being constantly attacked on various levels is very hurtful...

There don't seem to be many opportunities to catch this guy by the tail, so we'll take advantage of every chance we get.

However, the combination of wisdom and composure in times of crisis and meticulousness and generosity in daily life is even more captivating.

So, what price should he sell it for next time?

Jill's gaze fell on her friend Alice's face, and she hesitated several times, as if she had something to say but then stopped, looking guilty.

Actually, what she wanted to ask was whether there could be a discount between close friends.

She also wanted to become a human trafficker...

If I buy this guy, what should I have him do? Do laundry, mop the floor, cook, or take him for walks?

A strange smile unconsciously crept onto the policewoman's lips as she indulged in her dark fantasies.

At this moment, the meeting in the living room was going quite well. The wealth and reputation of the Crawford family were enough to make the parents forget some insignificant doubts about the incident.

"I got along very well with Asuna, so on a whim, I invited her to my house..."

"However, to raise such an outstanding daughter, her parents and brothers must be even more outstanding, so I must meet them to make this trip to Tokyo worthwhile."

"I left in a hurry, and the housekeeper encountered a bit of an accident, so I wasn't able to inform them in time. Please forgive me..."

With a strained expression, Kevin bowed his head in apology to the Yuki couple, his face slightly swollen.

Damn it, I'm the one taking the blame again...

How can you guys treat your boss like this? If I weren't outmatched, I would have tied all three of you up and given you a good beating!

Amidst his bitterness, the commander indulged in a self-deceptive fantasy, dreaming of the day when he would rise from slavery to become the master.

Bondage, whips... tsk tsk, just thinking about it gets a little exciting.

"Furthermore, just as I am unfamiliar with the area, the Crawford family has recently expressed interest in entering Tokyo's electronic culture industry, but they are also struggling to find a leader..."

"I really hope to find a senior colleague with expertise in the field who can offer some guidance and help us deepen our collaboration..."

"I think that since Asuna was able to help me out of this predicament, and both of you have raised such outstanding daughters, you would be even more suitable as business guides..."

After Lara revealed her intentions, which were not entirely subtle, the Yuki couple's eyes lit up. Their initial politeness in befriending European nobles turned into an eager assessment of their potential partner.

The Crawford family, which recently acquired and successfully reorganized the European branches of two Umbrella Corporation, is enjoying a period of great success in the business world.

If her husband's RECT company could form a powerful alliance with the Crawford family, receiving a large influx of capital and gaining access to the European market, it would be an incredibly favorable opportunity.

"How about we discuss specific collaborative projects..."

"Butler, since your late notification caused trouble for Miss Asuna, why not take her for a walk around the neighborhood as an apology?"

Lara snapped her fingers casually, and because of the commander's good performance just now, she decided to give him the perk of having a beautiful woman accompany him.

"Mother, I want to..."

Asuna Yuuki. She glanced fearfully at the composed Kevin before quickly averting her gaze and pleading with her mother.

"Alright, Asuna, we need to discuss business with Countess Lara. You can go out for a stroll with this butler..."

Kyoko Yuuki ignored her daughter's request and instead pushed Asuna Yuuki out, secretly instructing her to behave in a manner befitting good upbringing.

In the seemingly long corridor, the straight back in front of me gradually slumped, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.

Following closely behind, Asuna Yuuki barely dared to breathe, like a docile kitten with her eyes lowered.

On the balcony, Kevin picked up a cocktail prepared under a parasol, sipped it gently, and stepped onto the edge of the apartment, walking casually step by step.

His body swayed precariously due to his unstable center of gravity, as if he might fall at any moment.

To the right is hard limestone, while to the left is granite ground several meters away...

"You... you come down quickly, it's dangerous up there!"

Asuna Yuuki's kind nature prompted her to offer advice.

"Being wrongly accused while trying to save lives is a terrible feeling; I need some comfort..."

"Come help me up, I'm coming down right now..."

Kevin's face was bitter, and he sighed with a hint of self-pity as he looked at the hesitant girl with longing eyes.

"As expected, they're still afraid of me..."

"I haven't done anything wrong, not even a single outrageous thing..."

The commander's body tilted slightly to the left and right, and he almost stumbled.

It seems... Shino and I took him hostage and almost hurt him, which was really a bit too much.

After much hesitation, Asuna Yuuki finally stepped forward and gently extended her slender fingers to comfort Kevin.

"Someone will understand, let's just say we're backing out for now..."

As the girl stepped onto the stairs and reached out to grasp the commander, Kevin smiled gratefully and nodded emphatically.

"Good!"

Immediately, two figures plummeted from the balcony to the ground!

P. S.: Thank you everyone! I didn't expect so many people to sign in. Thank you so much! It makes me feel so inspired to create.

Section 163, Chapter 154: Offering Questions to the Gods

"Ah!"

The sharp and rapid cries almost pierced the eardrums, and the sound was amplified even more when blocked by Mental Barrier.

However, the three-minute "landing" did not bring any of the expected death Affliction.

Asuna Yuuki opened her tightly closed eyes a crack and saw distant lights flickering at her feet.

This time, the girl composed herself, her pale face glaring angrily at the creature with outstretched wings.

"Don't look at me like that, it'll make me shy..."

Kevin smiled slightly, looking completely innocent.

"You told me to go down, but you didn't specify where. I just think it'll be faster this way..."

Well, no matter how you try to hide it, this is definitely Kevin's perverse sense of humor.

Having just suffered a loss, he needed to get revenge somewhere else, and the only person he could bully was this little girl in front of him.

Why not participate in such a beneficial activity for both physical and mental health?

"Damn it! Put me down!"

Asuna Yuuki was so angry that her face turned pale, her teeth itched, and she almost wanted to bite this mischievous guy to death.

"You said it, so I'll let go..."

Kevin sighed softly, as if lamenting the fickleness and difficulty in getting along with women.

"Don't want!"

Asuna Yuuki was startled and immediately hugged Kevin tightly around the waist. At the same time, this little wildcat, who had almost been driven to desperation, had an impulse to drag this bastard down with her even if it meant going to hell.

Kevin lifted the still-shaken girl with one hand, while using mental control to reduce the burden of physical activity on her, and pointed down below.

Opportunities to soar through the skies using only one's physical body are few and far between...

"Young lady, don't always assume such malicious intent from others. How about this be my compensation to you?"

"Are we even now?"

Asuna Yuuki calmed herself down and glanced around. Although she no longer acted out of line, she still scoffed at Kevin's so-called "compensation."

The sky was pitch black, with streetlights twinkling in the distance. The Tokyo Tower, standing tall in the distance, was ablaze with color, adding a touch of brilliance to the night.

Amidst the howling wind, the starry sea seemed so close, almost within reach, as if one could touch the brilliance of the stars with their fingertips. One could scoop up a handful and drink heartily.

"Isn't it beautiful..."

After a full three minutes of Asuna Yuuki, Kevin murmured softly, his fluttering Wings resembling those of an angel descending to earth.

Asuna Yuuki nodded blankly. The beautiful scenery before her eyes did indeed dispel much of her resentment and calm her restlessness.

"But is that your reason for pulling me to jump off a building?!"

The girl snorted coldly, her eyes filled with disdain.

Seeing that he couldn't get past this hurdle, Kevin pretended to be clueless and changed the subject.

Should I tell her that we met in a past life and that I want to fulfill my wish to tease someone?

Just as Asuna Yuuki was preparing to relentlessly seek justice, Kevin's wristwatch emitted a rapid electronic beep.

"Captain, something's happened!"

"Three rioters stormed into the Tokyo University Affiliated Hospital, killing several medical staff along the way!"

Leon's words revealed a hint of anxiety and unease.

"Catching criminals is the police department's job; we can't overstep our authority. Is there any way to contact the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department?"

Kevin hesitated. Even the BSAA team, which has some cross-border law enforcement powers, has to follow the rules.

Moreover, this place isn't exactly close to the crime scene, so the team's arrival time might not be faster than the police's reaction time.
