"How much have I sacrificed? So I was wondering if I could get the things that are important to me a little sooner."
Hearing Morita Ryoko say that, Uchiha Hiko smiled faintly. He then raised his head and said to her,
"Ms. Morita, aren't you overestimating yourself a little? I only called you here this time to express my position to Master Roshi."
"But I have no obligation to directly provide you with the things you need. Besides, I've introduced my friend's master to you."
"I'm sure you know Master Roshi's standing in the martial arts world. Isn't introducing you to such a fine husband enough?"
Hearing Uchiha Hiko's words, Ms. Morita's expression turned grave, and she showed no sign of wanting to smile.
Instead, the corners of her mouth twitched in a forced smile. She raised her head and said to Uchiha Hiko,
"Mr. Uchiha, you really think too highly of yourself. Do you think I would like an old man like that? What matters most to me isn't that old man.
"Even without him, I could still find a very suitable husband."
There was a basis for her words. Although she had a very poor reputation in the village,
her ex-husband had left her a great deal of money, and she was fairly attractive herself, so many men yearned for her.
These men even came from all age groups. Quite a few older men liked a refined woman like Ms. Morita, while many younger men coveted Ms. Morita's money.
