1.99 Lucky Player

Masaru was drinking tea at a café downtown. Kazuma was keeping an eye on him. His movements were terrible, but Masaru pretended he wasn’t watching him.

He knew Kazuma hated doing this job, so he remained seated while ordering more tea.

He laughed inwardly. It was funny. But tiring and boring, although there were some beautiful women there. He could admire some new skin, so it wasn’t that bad.

Kazuma was sitting in the car. He only had a bottle of water and no food. Even with his training, it was still difficult to go for a long time without food. This was a test of endurance where only one side was having difficulties.

Masaru ordered another tea, drank it, and spent a few minutes doing nothing. He just sat there, staring into nothingness.

He knew how to pretend better than Shinya.

’He’s annoying even when he does nothing.’

Masaru ordered something to eat and ate slowly.

Masaru stood up and went straight to the guild. There, he was certain Kazuma wouldn’t keep an eye on him.

Before, it had been possible because the system he had bought from Kazuma had some listening devices, but he and Kaede had removed them.

Shinozaki was looking at a spreadsheet with all the amounts spent on the operation at Masaru’s guild, more than forty thousand gold coins wasted. Himura could never find out that she had spent all that money.

She called Kazuma and gave him another order.

He should start investigating Himura, finding some information that could be used against him. Kazuma didn’t like the idea, but doing this was better than following Masaru around.

Of the four great families, Tsukishiro was in third place in terms of power and strength, but was in second place among the richest families. None of the other families knew where they had gotten all the money from.

The family had been gradually gaining more power, and some said they were the second most powerful family, although there were many disagreements about this.

Himura was the most powerful family in Kazenomi and the number two vassal family of Tsukishiro, so it would be a very complicated task for Kazuma.

Even if he found something Shinozaki could use, the family was still very powerful and could use whatever was discovered to their advantage. That was why Shinozaki wanted Kazuma to try to find something.

Even though Kazuma had a connection with her, he was only her freelancer, so she could stay away from the problems. At least, that was what she believed.

Himura was looking out the window again. He was a little calmer. He was afraid Tsukishiro would discover all the mistakes he had made, but he didn’t suspect anything.

There were two hypotheses for this. The first was that he knew and was waiting for the best moment to talk about it. The other hypothesis was that he didn’t know because whoever made the reports hadn’t discovered it.

But relying on luck was something Himura hated. He always preferred to rely on his own ability and never depend on luck.

"We’ve spent all the coins. Should we still buy the crystals, or can we move on to the next phase of the plan?" a female voice asked.

Himura thought for a few seconds.

"Tomorrow we’ll begin the second phase. All the crystals offered today must be purchased, and tomorrow we’ll issue a notice saying that we’ll pause for a while. I don’t want you to specify the reason."

He ended the call and sat down. He looked at some spreadsheets. He didn’t seem worried, he was just anxious for everything to go as well as possible.

Shinozaki called him.

"Do you need anything for the plan?"

"Don’t worry about it. You ruined a large part of it, but we’ll still achieve our objective," he said in a dry tone.

Shinozaki interpreted that as a possible threat.

"All right, but if you need anything, just let me know."

"I’ll let you know... Ah, I almost forgot. What are those two doing?"

"Those two?"

"Kazuma and his son."

"I haven’t received any information about them. I don’t know exactly what either of them is doing at the moment."

"Aren’t they doing any work for you?"

"No."

"Right."

He ended the call.

He had sent Hayato to follow Shinya, but he didn’t know what Kazuma was doing. He was afraid she would ask the two of them to do some other idiotic thing and ruin the other part of the plan.

He stood up and went to a safe that was covered by a painting. He entered the password and opened it. He took out a glass vial containing some pills. He took two, and his muscles began to burn. He controlled himself so he wouldn’t scream in pain.

The intense pain caused him to faint.

Himura got up after a few hours. His movements were clumsy, but little by little he began to walk normally. But he still felt some pain. He took out another vial and took another pill. He took it and began to feel better.

Himura used some mana. His body was overflowing with energy. The excess was spent, and he became completely recovered.

Kazuma didn’t know where to start. He didn’t know many people who would be willing to go against a powerful family like Himura’s, so he was acting cautiously, with much more caution than he would have liked.

’Shinozaki could change her mind like she always does.’

Shinozaki was a little more focused this time on what she wanted.

Kazuma hated this, but he didn’t want to disobey any orders. He knew that disobeying someone like her was something terrible.

"I can’t do this," Hayato said.

"You can, and you will. Continue doing what Himura asked, but don’t forget to try to find something. Shinozaki needs some information that can be used against him."

He ended the call.

Haru entered the guild and handed the sweaty armor over to Amanda to wash. He should have handed it to Kaede, but he couldn’t find the perfect moment for that, so he kept postponing the delivery.

Amanda didn’t know why he had that armor, but she accepted it and put it together with some clothes that needed to be washed and put back into the rental armor stock.

Masaru called him to the office.

"I’m not going to ask about the origin of this, but I won’t be able to buy all these crystals. In fact, I’ll have to pause buying some items, since I’m having trouble selling everything I buy."

"Ah, that’s fine, don’t worry about it, but I’ll keep coming here, I need to train to get stronger."

"You should help other guilds, it would be a great way for you to get stronger and make Himura even crazier. He’s having some problems and is following Shinya and me."

"Shinya?"

"He’s the person who’s selling the crystals to Himura, he somehow found out and now he sent someone to keep following him, but we’ll be able to shake them off soon."

"How will you do that?"

"Very simple, he’ll go to another guild to get some crystals, he’s a good fighter, so he can manage, when the suspicions end, he’ll return to the job."

Masaru was certain of that, but Haru didn’t have much confidence.

Mio entered the office, her body was sweaty, she was doing some exercises to make her ass even more beautiful.

She grabbed Haru’s arm and took him to the room, Hina was out shopping, so she would have Haru all to herself.

She threw Haru onto the bed and, even sweaty, she started taking off her clothes and sat on top of him, she pulled his penis out and shoved it into her pussy, he did nothing, she kept going up and down.

Her movements varied with some circular motions, these movements made his penis even harder and his desire only increased.

Masaru quickly entered the room, he saw Mio naked grinding on top of Haru’s penis.

He ignored what she was doing.

"I’ll need all the crystals you have and I want to buy more crystals immediately."
