How to Win a Man Over (Continued)

At first, Akatsuki Kojo's expression was relatively casual, but when he saw the exam paper, his face immediately turned ashen, and his already weak body became even more limp.

"Yes, Your Spirit King, I am Yase Motoki, the acting head of the Yase Family."

When his name was called Yase Motoki jumped up from his chair with a perfect posture that even veteran soldiers with outstanding military bearing might not be able to match.

"Alright, sit down! Since you're Asagi's friend, you're my friend too. There's no need to be so nervous."

Although he was somewhat surprised that Aiba Asagi had a childhood friend who was a political enemy, these were not things that mattered to him.

Asagi treats him the same way he treats him.

"Ah, yes!"

Yase Motoki gave a blank "hmm" and obediently sat back down in his seat.

His face appeared calm, but his heart was already churning with turmoil, unable to find peace.

However, even with a thousand questions in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief at the pressure that had been weighing on the Yase Family for three years.

It's important to understand that although the Yase Family has now submitted to William, they were initially staunch opponents and leaders of the opposition.

Although they later switched allegiance to William, they remained worried for years that William would settle scores with them once he emerged from seclusion.

Therefore, remembering what William looks like is one of the most important tasks for the Yase Faction, all so as not to offend William unknowingly.

But judging from William's attitude towards him just now, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After dealing with Yase Motoki, William prepared to tackle the most difficult person of the day.

"Asagi, how was today's surprise?"

Aiba Asagi gracefully maintained her nails, her smile lacking any warmth as she spoke.

"What kind of surprise are you referring to? Is it the guy who asked a middle school girl to wait for him, but then disappeared for three years and came back?"

"Most importantly, they don't even have a way to contact us!"

Aiba Asagi's tone was calm, her words were plain, but one could sense the astonishing anger contained within each sentence.

Completely dejected, Akatsuki Kojo cast a curious glance his way, completely forgetting his own sorrow.

It's worth noting that while Aiba Asagi is undoubtedly a beauty, she lacks a certain feminine charm due to her frequent sly smile.

However, because her other qualities are so outstanding, she has never lacked male suitors.

Therefore, as one of Aiba Asagi's best friends, Akatsuki Kojo was naturally very interested in her current attitude.

"I'm sorry about that, so before we go any further, I've prepared an apology plan for you. What do you think?"

Aiba Asagi suddenly paused, raised her head which had been hanging down, and put on an expression of great interest.

"Tell me about it!"

"How about your wages increase tenfold starting today, or we could simply put you in charge of managing the Public Corporation's computers!"

As William said this, Aiba Asagi gave William a big eye roll without any politeness.

"You've got a good idea. You say you're apologizing to me, but you're still just asking me to work for you!"

"Hey, I Natsuki-chan- chan that you really like managing the Public Corporation's super processor. I thought you'd really like this offer!"

William raised an eyebrow and casually shrugged.

"Anyway, it won't work. Your apology is far too perfunctory!"

"That--!"

William scratched his head, then as if he had suddenly thought of something, he clenched his left fist and slammed it into his palm.

"How about this, I'll cook you dinner, you can eat whatever you want."

These words left Aiba Asagi, and she immediately fell into deep thought.

After a long while, she nodded, and then two blushes spread across her fair face as she murmured softly.

"I'll treat you to dinner, but only if it's just the two of us."

Hiss--!

A collective gasp rang out as Yase Motoki and Akatsuki Kojo stared in horror at the girlish-looking Aiba Asagi.

There was no way they could connect this Asagi with that tomboy.

Crack! Crack!

That was the sound of fists clashing together; Aiba Asagi had stood up at some point.

What did you two mean just now?

Clang! Clang!

With two crisp sounds, the two round bumps on my head became particularly noticeable.

Faced with this situation, William chuckled softly.

"That's only right!"

"Then I forgive you!"

Aiba Asagi, who wasn't truly angry at William to begin with, quickly calmed down.

Because she herself was well aware that William wasn't simply ignoring her.

Others also haven't seen him in all these years; these are all things she learned from Nangong Natsuki and Aurora through indirect means.

If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have met Akatsuki Kojo, and thus this little group would not have formed.

The conditions she just mentioned were also some of her own little schemes.

She owes all of this to her mother, who recovered her health and taught her the Thirty-Six Strategies of Love!

Show a little temper, but not too much, so that the man won't feel annoyed when he's trying to appease her.

At this point, making a small request can dramatically escalate the relationship between the two.

Finally, at--!

Thinking of this, Aiba Asagi couldn't help but look towards the southeast.
