Yang Hao said he had come this time with sincere intentions—he could help him get a girlfriend.
"Lord Makoto, I'm not his girlfriend."
Miru, who had remained silent until now, coldly corrected him.
"Huh? Didn't you have a good impression of Kisame? You practically confessed to him."
Yang Hao was displeased. Was this any way to undermine her superior?
"That was before. Not anymore."
Miru's voice remained icy, making it clear that this was non-negotiable.
"Then develop a little more goodwill. If that doesn't work, just pretend and fool Kisame."
Yang Hao really wanted to preserve this opening. Only then could he get a hold over that honest man, Kisame.
"The laws of Heavenly Ninja Country clearly stipulate that no one may force another person to engage in fraudulent or deceptive work."
Miru's attitude remained firm. She was now a brand-new ninja of Heavenly Ninja Country, no longer the kind of tool who had to obey every order.
"Is there really no room for negotiation?"
Yang Hao felt like he had lifted a stone only to drop it on his own foot.
Were underlings this tough these days?
Miru said nothing, but her attitude remained resolute. She did not want anything more to do with that guy—yet in the next moment, she could no longer keep herself composed.
"I heard you have a younger sister. I wonder how long she can last in an environment like the Hidden Mist Village. Maybe she'll end up walking the same path as you."
Yang Hao changed tactics, revealing a trace of regret.
The Hidden Mist Village was simply too cruel. People died every day. A little girl who had lost her older sister would surely have a hard life there, perhaps even face mortal danger.
"How can you do this?"
Miru's eyes widened.
