A Conversation Between Smart People; The Actions of Upper Ranks Four, Five, and Six

A prodigy in intelligence, with unparalleled combat prowess.

No matter who he's facing, he'll always have the upper hand in terms of momentum.

Moreover, Gyutaro had this feeling.

What he saw was only what the Scribe wanted him to see.

All of this is merely the surface phenomenon of things.

Being robbed might seem like a huge deal to others, but to the Scribe, it was just a tool to teach Gyutaro a lesson.

After treating the previous patient, he led Gyutaro to a luxurious house.

Among them lived the person he was looking for.

Huang Fu and the strong men's instigator, Dichai's true confidant, a man who controls one-third of the power in this Yoshiwara Flower District.

Kamihito Ichi, also known as the Demon Fox.

As soon as he knocked on the door, Scribe heard footsteps outside.

Three seconds later, a woman dressed in bright colors, with light makeup and somewhat revealing clothing opened the door.

Are they the Mister Scribe and the Gyutaro?

The Scribe nodded but did not speak.

In that case, please follow me, you two.

With a slight smile, the woman turned and led the way.

While leading the way, she would occasionally sway her ample hips.

It seemed as if she was subtly tempting the two people behind her.

But her scheme was too easy to see through; not only the Scribe, Gyutaro didn't give it a second glance.

Soon, the two were led to a room by the woman.

Kamihito Ichi was waiting for the two of them inside.

After saying that, she got up and left.

As she left, she gave Scribe a slightly resentful look.

It seemed to be a sign of dissatisfaction that the Scribe hadn't given her much attention, or perhaps it was an expression of some intention she was trying to convey.

However, the Scribe completely ignored the woman's gaze.

After she left, he and Gyutaro went into the room together.

Once inside, there is a huge painting in the main seat of the room.

Below the calligraphy and painting, there is a slightly thin figure.

It was the Kamihito Ichi.

Just as rumored, he was an extremely handsome man.

The only drawback is that his eyes look long and narrow, giving him the appearance of a fox.

Are you two the Scribe and the Gyutaro?

Kamihito Ichi put down her pen and smiled slightly.

It was the two of us.

Without the slightest bit of politeness, Scribe walked straight up to the other person and plopped down in his seat.

Alright, let's begin.

This was the first time Kamihito Ichi had encountered someone like Scribe, and he was stunned.

In the past, everyone who came to visit him was extremely respectful.

Even though Scribe was someone he had invited, Kamihito Ichi still completely baffled by his actions.

What are you waiting for? Start your performance!

With her hands clasped together, the Scribe's lips curled into a faint smile.

Whether it's Huang Fu or those guys, weren't they all sent out by you?

Realizing that the Scribe had discovered his actions, Kamihito Ichi couldn't help but chuckle to hide his embarrassment.

He knew that the other person was also a smart person.

Without saying a word, he put down the pen he was writing with and took a piece of paper from the drawer.

Then, Kamihito Ichi gestured for Gyutaro to come over.

Despite some hesitation, Gyutaro went over after receiving the Scribe's nod.

Upon closer inspection, the paper turned out to be Koume's indenture.

Take a look, this is the indenture your sister signed with us back then.

After examining it carefully, Skin Taro nodded.

Without a doubt, this is indeed the one from back then.

After receiving the indenture from the other party, Kamihito Ichi folded it up.

He then tore the indenture into pieces.

In that case, your sister will be free again.

Slightly taken aback, Gyutaro then realized what was happening.

The thing that my sister and I had been worried about ended so easily.

Just as he was still somewhat incredulous, the Scribe suddenly spoke up.

Pick up all those things and burn them, leaving nothing behind.

Upon hearing the Scribe's words, Gyutaro suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

As the Scribe said, if it were simply torn to pieces, Kamihito Ichi later.

By then, neither he nor his sister would have any evidence, so naturally they wouldn't be able to prove anything.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gyutaro picked up all the scraps of paper from the ground and stuffed them into his pocket.

Even if you have to deal with it, do it in a place where you feel at ease.

Sigh, why bother?

With his hands outstretched, Kamihito Ichi's face revealed a hint of helplessness.

Don't be so nervous, I always keep my word.

Who knows? After all, it's our first time meeting.

Scribe's tone turned somewhat cold as he took over Kamihito Ichi's words.

Okay, next one.

Leaning forward, the Scribe said.

We accepted the first offer of sincerity; let me see what the next one is like.

His face stiffened slightly, but Kamihito Ichi still managed to suppress his anger and forced a smile.

The Mister Scribe is truly wise; he knew that I had prepared another gift.

After saying that, Kamihito Ichi clapped his hands, signaling that the people outside could come in.

Soon, three people walked in from outside.

On the trays held by the three men were three large cloth bags.

I have heard that Mister Scribe are a doctor, and I have nothing to give you except this little bit of money. I hope you will not mind.

Since you've said so, Taro, go get it.

Although somewhat dissatisfied with the new title the Scribe had given him, Gyutaro still stepped forward and took the three cloth bags in his hands.

At the same time, the three servants also left.

If there's nothing else, we'll be going.

The Scribe took the cloth bag and weighed it in his hand, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.

Before leaving, he turned and looked at Kamihito Ichi.

In exchange, let me remind you that what you're worried about does exist.

After saying that, he left with Gyutaro.

After listening to the Scribe's words, Kamihito Ichi's originally smiling face slowly turned serious.

Is the rumor actually true?

On the way back, Gyutaro, carrying the cloth bag, looked puzzled.

While he could understand the conversation between Scribe and Kamihito Ichi before, Scribe's last words before leaving left him completely bewildered.

Exchange? Reminder? Existence?

Shaking his head, Gyutaro felt a terrible headache coming on.

He knew his mind wasn't very sharp, but the Scribe's conversation was just too unpredictable.

With a slight smile, Scribe patted Gyutaro's head.

Don't overthink it, just go back and tell Mei the good news.

Upon hearing this, Gyutaro's face lit up with joy.

For him, nothing made him happier than his sister regaining her freedom.

He quickened his pace slightly; he couldn't wait to tell Koume.

Watching Gyutaro jog away, the Scribe began to think about his conversation with Kamihito Ichi earlier.

Although it was only their first meeting and they had only talked for a short time, Scribe was certain of one thing.

Kamihito Ichi knew more or less about the existence of ghosts!

If we were to start from the beginning, we would have to go back to when I took Gyutaro and Koume away.

Knowing some information about ghosts, Kamihito Ichi learned from his subordinate Huang Fu that he had taken away Gyutaro and Koume, who had signed a contract of servitude.

After Huang Fu failed to get the person and was scared away instead, Kamihito Ichi was somewhat surprised and puzzled.

To continue testing him, he sent out those strong men.

After the strongman was defeated, during the time he went to treat patients, Kamihito Ichi gained a deeper impression of him.

From the descriptions of the Scribe given by passersby and the examination of the corpses of his subordinates, Kamihito Ichi realized that he was not an ordinary person.

His suspicions deepened, and he had those conversations with himself in his own mansion in order to verify his identity.

Among these, Kamihito Ichi has two most obvious hints.

A huge picture and words being written behind them.

The illiterate Gyutaro might not know, but the Scribe knew very well.

The picture depicts Wisteria, while the words written by Kamihito Ichi are of a man-eating demon!

Only after realizing that he had noticed his hint did Kamihito Ichi have three cloth bags presented to him.

Koume's indenture was the purpose of his trip; at most, it was a gift for their first meeting.

In chaotic times, money is undoubtedly the most valuable thing, which is why he gave this simple and reasonable gift.

As for why there were three, the Scribe had a pretty good idea.

The first was about Huang Fu, and the second was about the strong men.

The third is to verify with oneself whether the information he knows is true.

Thus came the words the Scribe uttered before his departure.
