The figure on the ground seemed to slowly overlap with a figure in my memory, and the more I thought about it, the more scared I became.

She shook her head quickly to clear her mind of all random thoughts.

However, that picture kept lingering in her mind like a curse.

Finally, as if she was running for her life, she hurriedly took out a few coins from her bag and wanted to put them into the phone to pretend that she was not calling the police.

The hand holding the coin reached towards the coin slot tremblingly. The shaking coin hit the metal edge of the coin slot, making a tinkling sound.

She calmed herself down and inserted the coin. The slight clinking sound was like a heavy shackle that locked her up completely.

But the shackles made her breathe a sigh of relief...

She picked up the phone and dialed the number that had always been deep in her memory.

"Beep...beep...moshimoshi?" A hesitant female voice sounded.

Aragaki Satomi said softly: "Mom, it's me."

"Is-is it Rimi?" The voice on the other end trembled slightly.

"it's me."

"Are you...are you okay in Tokyo alone?"

"No problem." Aragaki Satomi replied in a low voice: "Work is going well, and Kanna's studies are also going well."

"That's great. I saw Kanna's performance on TV. She looked a lot like you back then!"

"Yes, I will take good care of her. Please take care of yourself. We will come back to Okinawa to see you later."

The mother gave her instructions and advice on trivial matters in life, and it was only after a while that she reluctantly hung up the phone.

Aragaki Satomi leaned against the inner wall of the telephone booth, covered her face and slowly slid down, sobbing in pain.

Her father failed in business in that decadent era - or was defeated.

In the end, he became an unfortunate victim of suicide by jumping off a building, and also left his family with heavy debts.

You have to know that when he jumped off the building, his wife had just become pregnant with their second child. How could he have jumped off the building under such circumstances?

But this is meaningless now, just like there was no follow-up to my mother's efforts back then.

She gave up her studies and her life over the years, and worked like an emotionless tool to repay these debts.

The only two bottom lines are probably his own innocence and his sister.

The agent is his best friend, but with her ability and family background, she can only help him block some covetous eyes on the surface.

Her dream is to pay off all the debts one day and start her life again with ease.

Another one is my younger sister, who is the person I place all my hopes on. That child deserves a brighter and more beautiful life.

But now, everything is finally ruined. I was too greedy. Everything has been going smoothly for so many years, and I thought it would be no problem if my sister got involved in the entertainment industry.

But it doesn’t matter anymore. There is no need to struggle anymore. I already understand it all.

After hanging up the phone, Aragaki Satomi leaned against the wall of the telephone booth, looked up and sighed.

The quiet and silent telephone booth makes people feel lonely for no reason.

“Bang, bang—”

A series of slapping sounds woke Aragaki Satomi from her trance.

Turning my head to look outside, I saw a young girl dressed hotly holding her right hand and gesturing to her ear.

Aragaki Satomi straightened up, opened the door and walked out: "I'm so sorry, please use it."

"Ah - you're not that - you're that actor, right? The one from the TV show!"

The girl covered her mouth and looked in surprise at Aragaki Satomi, whose eyes were red as if she had just cried.

The latter finally reacted and quickly put on a mask: "You recognized the wrong person."

"Hey... Hey! What's that?..."

……

……

"I say, is it possible that I didn't do anything and you are just adding to the drama?"

Ailia crossed her arms and looked at the little leader sitting in front of her, then looked at the normal members who looked confused not far away.

"You're making it very difficult for me to do this!"

"Did you hear that?" An Lele pretended to be powerful behind Alia and reached out to take something out of her arms: "You bastard! You make it very difficult for my eldest daughter to be like this!"

She even used the rolling tongue sound. It turns out that only when it comes to swearing, foreign language teaching in various countries is so pure and authentic.

"Hi! I'm so sorry!!"

The little leader of the Dogeza knocked heavily on the smooth floor and said, "Please forgive our offense!"

"Ah, forget it, go away."

"Thank you very much!" The little leader breathed a sigh of relief and really rolled away.

"Which group is he from?" Alia spoke to the property managers, intending to ask what was going on behind this.

As a result, the little leader heard this and rolled back smoothly: "Miss Ai! We really didn't mean it!"

"..."

Alia thought to herself that with the way you keep rolling around, you must be a comedian, the kind that can't die in the plot.

"Forget it, get up and talk. Explain this to me clearly."

The little leader quickly got up and told the whole story.

They are a debt collection agency. Probably because of the arrears caused by charging issues, they decided to come to your door to collect.

As for intentional injury, I don't have the courage to do it. It's just that kind of disgusting. After all, it's too ugly to see the Yakuza show up at my door.

Normal companies will choose to spend money to avoid disaster. Besides, they are debt collection companies, not extortionists, so they really don’t want money that is not on their accounts.

Because there have been cases in the past where the other party added money and then sued them for extortion and coercion, which also confused them...

"Oh, you think my members are going to mess with you, so you want to steal the phone?"

"I'm so sorry!" The little leader bowed until he almost folded his body. "We are just used to this rude way of doing things!"

"Don't apologize to me, apologize to them and show your sincerity, okay?"

Sincerity? The little leader's eyes narrowed.

But seeing Alia's indifferent expression and An Lele who was staring at her from behind and had already reached into her coat pocket.

He gritted his teeth, raised his hand and took out a dagger from his waist: "Yes! If the little finger is cut off, it is entirely my own responsibility! Please watch!"

"...???"

195-Miss Jiang squirms darkly

Alia didn't see the little finger being cut in the end, which was boring.

Oh no - ahem - that's not necessary.

She stopped the other party and said that there was really no need for such a thing and that just showing sincerity would be enough.

An Lele translated it, and the momentum, the tongue-twisting sound, and the choice of words basically made the little leader, Hu Mu, burst into tears and rushed to commit seppuku.

Fortunately, everyone resolved the misunderstanding in the end.

But this doesn't mean that An Lele has become enlightened. She has improved her fake Japanese, which she learned from reading swordplay movies and watching anime.

Instead, it was the big brother of the small leader who came. He was a middle-level leader, and he expressed his sincerity as soon as he arrived.

"Miss Ai, I'm so sorry to bother you."

The middle leader handed over a business card with both hands: "My name is Zhong Deng, please allow me to apologize for the rudeness of my men!"

"Your name is quite random."

Alia took the business card and looked at it, and she felt the shamelessness of this world from the bottom of her heart.

Is there really someone with a name like Zhongdeng Toumu?

"Xiao - do you know how much of an honorable guest you offended? It was only because of her kindness that you were spared from punishment!"

"Hey! It's really a private Marseille!"

Alia took the other party's business card, looked at it, and sighed: "I understand why you two can appear."

One is Zhongdeng Tou Mu, the other is Xiao Tou Mu. You will be fined for using puns!

Besides, your surnames are really convenient. If you become a big boss in the future, you can just call yourself Da.

After all, there are said to be 110,000 surnames, and Alia knows that there really is someone with the surname Da.

"It's really surprising that Miss Ai has an industry here."

The middle leader said that he could give Alia some discounts within a certain range, such as reducing property fees or lowering rent.

"Really?" Alia's eyes lit up: "The property fee can be reduced?"

"Of course, if it's Miss Ai, I think it should be so."

The middle leader said, what is our relationship? You and Aunt An, whose name you don’t want to reveal, are friends for life and death with us.

We have a life-long friendship, so why talk about money? Talking about money will hurt feelings. Just think of it as us collecting protection money and then we will pay you back.

Alia then began to count on her fingers how many houses she had rented here.

“There are three floors downstairs with a sky garden, one floor here, and then there are two floors in the middle that I’m not very happy about, so I want to rent them all.

It's just six floors, and the property fee is only a few tens of thousands of yen per square meter per month, which is not worth mentioning.

So after Alia made a quick calculation, the middle leader's face gradually turned green...

She even took a calculator and started counting the numbers very seriously, which made the middle leader's eyes twitch.

An Lele couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, and even some of the office workers around them who were watching them being rude at first but respectful later started laughing too.

The younger brother didn't understand why, but he felt that his elder brother was being looked down upon and that the other party was being too rude.

My elder brother treated you with courtesy and did not do anything rude. How dare you guys do that?

"Hey! What are you laughing at? Don't you know the basic etiquette? You guys who work in offices! We came here with sincerity!"

The younger brother glared at An Lele, who was laughing the most happily. The latter was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and stopped laughing.

Alia stopped pressing the calculator, looked over, and looked this little brother up and down.

The middle leader was sweating so much, is that something you can say?

What kind of monster she is, don't you know? Don't I know?

As a middle-level member of the society who can help manage these properties, the other party naturally has a close confidant of the big boss and knows some secrets.

Not to mention Mr. An who woke him up in the middle of the night with a chill in his back, the little white flower-like girl in front of him was a first-rate evil star.

No matter what era, the power of the individual is the simplest and purest.

The individual power that transcends normal cognition has an extraordinary deterrent effect.

An example is the world's best arquebusier who was in charge of the Kanpaku, who was able to have the entire book revise the religious management regulations overnight.

People look down on me because they are arrogant. As younger brothers, we should be aware of being stepped on and accept it honestly.

It's difficult for me to deal with you being so passionate and talking about benevolence, righteousness and loyalty at a time like this!

"Miss Ai, Miss Ai...I..."

"It won't happen again..." Alia raised her hand and pointed at the younger brother: "This time, I won't bother with you because you have done your duty conscientiously."

If you want to get involved in this world, you have to be loyal. Alia looks down on the Yakuza, but that doesn't mean she has to blindly bully the enemy.

This boy is much better than those hypocrites. Alia really wasn't angry, he was just a little reckless.

An Lele behind Alia also nodded: "I'm sorry, I was wrong just now, I was rude."

The middle-level leader finally found a way to back down, and he quickly apologized, flattered, and tried to please.

They are called Yakuza, but in fact, these violent groups have a very hard time facing people who are truly capable.
