Will I Eventually Become a Capitalist? Chapter 39

The prompt kindly warned of a certain risk.

"Seriously? So it's not like I'll be sanctioned at any moment?"

"I'm not chasing anymore. I choose to be alone and miserable."

Russell surrendered immediately. Such feudal superstitions like the "Red Phoenix Star" clearly were a lie.

[Don't give up so quickly. Kiana is also a young lady from a prominent family. Bringing her back to Schicksal means inheriting the vast assets of the Kaslana and Saniyat families. If you win her over, you'll be recognized by the two major Schicksal families, and it can be considered a mission. This time, I can guarantee the reward will be a truly legitimate skill.]

The prompt seemed to be spouting some truly bizarre rhetoric.

Russell fell into thought.

Chasing Kiana was clearly not a good option.

But, the reward was truly tempting.

After all—

It was a skill that the prompt guaranteed with its own reputation, a truly legitimate skill.

The Red Phoenix Star had stopped moving, but the God of Wealth star seemed to have started shining.

Russell's heart stirred, but he remained outwardly composed as he spoke.

"Oh, to what extent of a relationship counts as completing the mission?"

[To the point where she acknowledges you as her boyfriend and is willing to kiss you voluntarily.]

The prompt was saying things that would clearly get Russell into trouble.

Very well.

There was still room to exploit loopholes.

Russell nodded, his expression serious.

"Where is Kiana?"

He asked his prompt.

[She's in the mall right in front of you. She just returned and is preparing a gift to visit the Raikou family.]

The prompt provided the information.

Did that thing still not give up, even after knowing Raikou Ryoma's blood pressure was through the roof?

This girl was truly persistent.

Russell mused, then glanced at his waist, where a remarkably beautiful katana rested.

This thing...

It might come in handy.

Kiana, laden with shopping bags, strolled through the mall, her expression hesitant as she looked at the rows of health supplements before her.

Although they said love was a story between two people.

Mei was a very well-behaved girl, and if possible, she should try her best not to offend her father—after all, by then...

But, speaking of which, so many health supplements...

What should she buy?

The young girl's beautiful face was etched with worry.

Mei's gift was easy to choose.

But what Raikou Ryoma needed was a blind spot in Kiana's knowledge.

And the invincible Maid Rita wasn't here; she said she'd found a slightly clumsy little white dog and was going to look after it.

So, she couldn't ask Rita for help at all.

Kiana sighed, then tapped on her phone, searching for what middle-aged men needed most.

"The biggest troubles for middle-aged men are probably impotence and hair loss. Uncle Raikou has lived alone for many years, so he doesn't need to worry about impotence catching up to him. Therefore, the biggest trouble in his life is hair loss."

"Although all the medicines in this world can't cure hair loss, they can only slow down the process. But, just like older women always deceive themselves with cosmetics that they're still young, men also always deceive themselves into thinking that applying some ointment or taking some folk remedy from who knows where can bring back their dead hair follicles."

A remarkably reliable answer.

However, that voice sounded a bit familiar.

The terrible memory of being driven around like a workhorse instantly surfaced in her mind.

Kiana turned her head, and upon seeing the face of her "brother-in-law," the girl's beautiful face twisted almost instantly.

"Russell!!"

"Hee hee hee, this is handsome big brother Russell."

"Kiana, have you missed big brother?"

The young man didn't hide his actions, even waving at the white-haired girl.

I missed you.

I missed you so much!!

Kiana felt Russell's face was like a magnet, constantly attracting her fist.

Without any hesitation, Kiana dropped everything and grabbed Russell's hand.

She smiled affectionately, her smile tinged with gritted teeth.

"Brother Russell, it's been a long time."

[Your beloved target is currently very eager to drag you into an alley for some intense, zero-distance exercise lasting over thirty minutes]

The voice of the prompt was filled with schadenfreude.

"Don't worry, my clan is very sturdy and can take a beating, not easily broken."

Russell chatted with the prompt while giving Kiana a friendly, light hug.

"How have you been lately? It's been a bit cold recently, and if you don't wear enough, you can easily catch a chill."

A very intimate and friendly remark.

But, coming from this guy, it clearly didn't sound right.

Faint blue veins pulsed on Kiana's fair forehead.

"Don't look like you've been tricked. Strictly speaking, I'm the victim here."

The young man patted Kiana's shoulder and said calmly.

Huh?

You're the victim?

Kiana felt her blood pressure was about to break through the roof.

"Next, you're not going to say you're Mei Raikou's fiancé, are you?"

Kiana smiled, but her fists clenched tighter.

If this liar claimed to be Mei's fiancé, even if there were ordinary people around, she would definitely throw a punch and teach him a lesson.

"Why wouldn't I be?"

The young man spread one hand. He should have spread both, but Kiana was holding one of his hands, so he could only spread one.

However, fortunately, this didn't stop him from taking out an item.

A deep blue radiance flashed in his hand.

The radiance was incredibly beautiful.

But it caused Kiana's expression to gradually stiffen.

It seemed that the woman named Rita always had a tendency to overdo it when working for her.

For example, when she was only asked to observe the situation of the Raikou family, she dug up all their affairs, including "Mei Raikou has something incredible sealed within her," and to counter that thing, the head of the Raikou family forged a blade called Shadow Show...

"That is the chain that binds the monster within Miss Mei's body, representing the approval of the elders. Lady Kiana, if you wish to gain complete approval, you must grasp the red string of fate."

Rita's teasing voice fell like a heavy hammer.

She felt as if she were Skadi who had lost her bidet, or Valmont watching the King's Treasure of Gold disappear, or Huihui whose boss skills were ineffective on her. Her mind went completely blank.

"It seems you know the origin of that blade, so I shouldn't need to introduce myself again."

The young man flipped his hand lightly, and the deep blue longsword appeared in his hand and then vanished in an instant.

"She will be my wife."

The young man spoke again.

"Even though neither of us likes forced marriages."

Chapter Forty-Six: Die for me!!!

It was not a problem for the sword representing restraint to appear in the man's hand.

After all, there was no need to view everything from an emotional perspective.

But for the rope representing restraint to appear in the hand of a man of the same age, that was a huge problem!!

This guy really was Mei's fiancé!!

Kiana felt her brain trembling.

She seemed to understand why Russell wanted to prank her as soon as they met.

He stayed overnight at his fiancée's house and the first thing he saw was someone like her. Even without an emotional foundation, he would definitely feel unhappy.

Was she completely screwed?

Kiana felt her heart clenching violently.

She was a girl, already at a disadvantage, and had been tricked into beating up her father-in-law. Meanwhile, the other party had been bound by the red string of fate early on, and most importantly, they had a penis.

Even Kiana, with her carefree nature, would find it hard to say "The advantage is mine."

No, that wasn't right.

There was still hope.

Kiana gazed at the young man before her. When the cunning fellow mentioned the engagement, his expression wasn't exactly pleased...

"You don't like Mei?"

She asked tentatively.

"Mei is beautiful."

The young man said something completely unrelated.

A surge of ecstasy rose in Kiana's heart.

Answering a question with a non-sequitur was an answer!

This guy didn't like the forced engagement.

He might not dislike Mei, but he clearly resented the feeling of being bound and forced into something.

What a guy.

A rebellious youth!

"Ah... If you don't like it, then give it up."

Kiana felt resurrected in an instant, and quickly transformed into a master of emotional guidance, gently persuading him.

"When it comes to feelings, you need to go from strangers to intimacy, from warming up to becoming passionate."

"Never settle."
