After we broke up, my ex asked me to attack her

Chapter 324 I’m here to negotiate terms

Everything in human nature has a price.

Whether it is intangible emotions, wisdom, or material body organs and labor.

In elementary school, teachers and children's cartoons tell them that family love is priceless, love is priceless, and friendship is priceless.

When they reach the right age, they will gradually understand that those are just fairy tales and slogans. In reality, human beings are sold at a fixed price.

In American hospitals, patients waiting for liver or kidney transplants may have to wait for a year or even longer. When they finally get their turn, another family with the same needs as you may be able to squeeze you out by donating to the hospital, and you will have to wait a few more months.

If you ask the hospital, they will just make excuses by saying that the patient in that bed is in a more urgent condition. Who knows the real situation, but this is the privatization of medical care.

For example, most factory leaders would not replace workers with machines.

But it’s not because they care about workers losing their jobs and not having enough food to eat, but because machines are more expensive than humans and they have to pay for their own maintenance.

What about humans? He is sick and can't move. What does it have to do with the factory? If he falls outside, it is not considered an industrial injury, and he doesn't even have to pay.

To go to the extreme, in war-torn areas, human beings become even more despicable, sometimes not even worth a shell.

This is what is happening in the world right now.

Whether or not to acknowledge these dark realities is the dividing line between immaturity and maturity.

But the problems that Kagura Hikaru faces today are not that dark.

He just needs to make Lu Qi's mother an "offer she can't refuse".

In the classic movie "The Godfather", in order to threaten a man to achieve their goal, the mafia cut off the head of his beloved horse at night and quietly put it into the man's quilt.

When he woke up in the morning and turned over the quilt, his lower body was covered in blood. The horse head lying on him had its eyes open, as if foreshadowing his future after he rejected the Mafia.

If they could sneak into his house silently, chop his horse to death and put it into his bed, then how difficult would it be to kill him?
It was after that day that the man completely compromised and became an accomplice of the mafia.

That's where the 'offer you can't refuse' comes from.

Use intimidation, inducement, and taking advantage of the target's weaknesses to achieve your goal by any means necessary, then offer him an offer he cannot refuse and then wait for him to bow his head.

The target this time is Tsuzaki Masumi's mother, so Kagura Hikaru naturally cannot use brutal means - to be honest, he rarely uses them. A high school student simply doesn't have so many occasions where he needs to use violence.

So, the only thing left is inducement.

Everyone has something they desire, let alone an ordinary person who is not even a monk.

After leaving the family restaurant, Kagura Hikaru searched for Tsuzaki Masumi's mother on the Internet, read all her information, and combined it with Tsuzaki Masumi's own account to roughly piece together an image of her.

A middle-aged woman, mean, old-fashioned, a classicist, with a strong musical literacy, a professional violinist and pianist, with both fame and fortune, and a harmonious family.

It looks like a relatively invincible panel.

But it is undeniable that everyone has weaknesses and everything has a price tag.

The price of letting a mother loosen her control over her daughter was not beyond Kagura Hikaru's expectations.

He immediately had a plan.

This weekend, he brought Aijo Karen to visit Luqi's house.

Wrong, it was Aicheng Hualian who brought him to visit.

Compared to him, Tsuzaki Masumi's family is more familiar with Aijo Karen, who occasionally comes to visit, and Kagura Hikaru needs her to introduce them.

When they arrived at the door of the Luqi family's mountain villa by car, Kagura Mitsuru had a glimpse of their family's true financial strength.

This is a Western-style mansion located in the suburbs, a manor surrounded by gardens, the kind often lived in by English aristocrats whose ancestors made fortunes.

The design is not conspicuous, with a standard symmetrical style, but it has a very classic feel.

Judging from the area it covers, it is not as large as Chiyo and Suyo's houses, but it is not that different.

This is what is called the wealthy class.

Tsuzaki Masumi doesn't usually wear gold or silver and doesn't like luxury goods, but who would have known that her family is so rich.

Kagura Hikaru discovered that the number of wealthy children in Hanedaoka High School was a bit excessive, and the group he knew was all girls.

Strange. After ringing the doorbell outside the gate, a maid soon led them into the house.

That’s right, a maid, a standard British maid wearing a black and white long skirt.

The owner's love for British aesthetics is revealed everywhere here. Kagura Mitsuki guessed that this was the hobby of Tsuzaki Masumi's mother.

Led by the maid, they walked through the garden and into the house, where Tsuzaki Masumi was already waiting behind the door.

"Kana-chan!"

"So pure!"

The two girls leaned against each other, then Tsuzaki Masumi turned her gaze to Kagura Hikaru, smiled shyly, and said, "Mr. Kagura, welcome to my home, I will do my best to entertain you!"

"A normal reception will be fine, thank you."

Kagura tightened his collar. He was wearing a casual grey Norfolk jacket today, but it was not tailor-made and was a little small.

For today's meeting, he went to a clothing store and rented a handmade suit. It wasn't a famous brand, but the fabric and workmanship were very good, and the style was standard and decent, as if it had been matched by a designer.

The first impression is very important. He can't let Tsuzaki Masumi's mother think that he is a person without taste and aesthetics, otherwise he will be at a disadvantage before the communication even begins.

Tsuzaki Masumi's mother is a classics lover, which means old-fashioned tastes.

When he saw this classical manor, Kagura Hikaru became more certain that he had done the right thing.

Their house was designed in a completely symmetrical manner, and even when he entered the house he did not see any asymmetrical decorations. It was probably because Tsuzaki Masumi's family had very high requirements for stability and decency.

The concept of "decency" was originally introduced from England. At that time, the English customs required men to maintain gentlemanly manners, from conversation to clothing, they had to be decent, even when smoking, they had to look very manly.

If you can't do that, you deserve to be secretly viewed as a country bumpkin.

Fortunately, Kagura Hikaru's height and figure can support this suit. If it looked childish, it would have the opposite effect.

"Where are your parents?" asked Kagura Hikaru.

"In the living room, I'll lead the way." Tsuzaki Masumi's face became a little nervous, and she forced a smile. She led the way into the house, and Kagura Hikaru and the other followed her.

Soon, they saw two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, in the living room. They were obviously the owners of the mansion.

Tsuzaki Masumi's father was overweight and looked wealthy. He was wearing a suit, shirt and trousers. He smiled at this side with a kind attitude.

And it seemed that Tsuzaki Masumi's mother had some opinions about Kagura Hikaru and the others. She didn't even smile, but just pursed her lips and nodded. Her pale lips looked very mean.

She was exactly as Kagura Hikaru had imagined her to be, both in terms of temperament and appearance. She had already seen her when she searched online a few days ago.

Lu Qi Zhenchun's family should be very familiar with Aishiro Karen. She just said "uncle and aunt" and it was over. It was Kagura Hikaru's turn.

"Excuse me, Mr. and Ms. Tsuzaki. Good morning. I am Tsuzaki Masumi's classmate, Kagura Hikaru."

Kagura Hikaru lowered her head slightly.

Lu Qi's father happily stood up and came over, shaking Kagura Hikari's hand enthusiastically: "You are Kagura Hikari, you saved our Masumi once, thank you so much."

"You are Welcome."

"You are here to play with Zhenchun, right? I can ask the maid to take you to the garden. The scenery there is nice, and there is juice to drink. If you want ice cream, you can also tell the maid."

Lu Qi's father kept winking at him, as if he was trying to hint at something.

Kagura Hikaru understood what he meant and turned her head to look at Tsuzaki Masumi. She found that she was sweating profusely and was visibly guilty and afraid, with her hands shaking.

He sighed secretly.

It seems that this third-year senior who is as good as a rabbit has exposed his past.

No wonder both adults were here when I got home. It turned out I already knew what they were here for.

"No, there's no need to look at the scenery." Kagura Hikaru knew who the real obstacle was. She looked at Lu Qi's mother who was still sitting on the sofa and made eye contact with her. "We came here this time to discuss with you two about Lu Qi's forming a band."

He doesn't like boring small talk, so let's get straight to the point.
