Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Ghost Fox heard Mashiyu Minow’s words and let out a bitter laugh.
Even though his heart was full of doubts, he could only quietly wait in anxious anticipation.
Waiting for the judgment of fate, waiting for the judgment of Young Master Bu!
...
On the other side.
The woman Ghost Fox mentioned—Hachijou Nozomi—was dressed stunningly as she walked in through the hotel entrance.
At this moment, she was no longer the demure figure she appeared to be at Daochuan Society, but instead exuded an aura of seduction, stirring the men around her.
And she seemed quite interested, constantly swaying left and right, throwing coquettish glances at the men.
These seemingly flirtatious moves and gestures looked like nothing in the lobby, just as if she were a lustful woman!
However, if they could see the footage in the surveillance room, they would realize that since this woman bowed her head and entered through the door, no camera had been able to catch her image.
The path she walked was full of broken cameras or blind spots that hadn’t malfunctioned.
Don’t think that ninjas have to wear tight clothes, carrying kunai, hopping around rooftops!
That’s anime!
What is a ninja? Just an assassin!
To achieve the target, the method doesn’t matter!
Besides, in the modern society where the nighttime is busier than daytime, wearing black tight clothes would make you stand out like a light bulb!
"Do you have a room?" Hachijou Nozomi approached the front desk and smiled, full of charm.
And her seemingly casual stance again positioned her in a blind spot.
"We do, but are you sure you want to stay?" The receptionist gave a bitter smile; ever since that gentleman checked in, no one dared to stay, and suddenly here comes someone adjusting to it!
"I’m just here for a shower, why, is that Heavenly Dynasty gentleman not allowing it?" Hachijou Nozomi laughed softly.
"Oh, alright then." The receptionist glanced at some scratches and strawberries on Hachijou Nozomi’s body, understanding fully!
She must have just come back from fooling around, wanting to make sure her man at home doesn’t find out.
Speaking of which, their hotel, where no one dares come, really is a good choice.
With the room booked, Hachijou Nozomi took the elevator, heading upstairs.
In the elevator, she glanced slantingly at the camera inside, made no move, continued to wait quietly.
First, she must go to the room, before she can take the next step.
"Ding!"
Reaching the floor, the elevator doors opened.
However, a big man appeared in front of her.
Her pupils immediately contracted.
She recognized this person; he was a bodyguard by Lu Xiaobu’s side.
Then she quickly regained her composure.
No worries, he surely doesn’t recognize her.
Thinking this, she was about to step out of the elevator.
However.
"Miss Nozomi, please stay, our Young Master invites you." Li Jin extended his hand, showed a gentlemanly smile, indicating Nozomi needn’t step out.
Nozomi’s hair immediately stood on end, her whole body tensed up!
But afterward, she regained her calm.
Because, at this moment, an indentation appeared on the elevator.
The reason for the indentation was a gentle press from the person in front.
So she gave up resisting!
In such a small space, she, as an assassin, fighting this big man, would lead to certain death!
"Thank you for your cooperation." Li Jin nodded, entered, and pressed the button.
His mind was ranting like crazy.
The instructor was really shameless; he would fight whenever there’s a battle, scaring girls was solely left to him, indeed!
...
Soon enough, Nozomi was brought in front of Lu Xiaobu.
At this moment, Ghost Fox was also kneeling before Lu Xiaobu.
As soon as Nozomi saw Ghost Fox, her emotions exploded instantly, she gritted her teeth and said, "Ghost Fox! It’s you! You sabotaged my mission?!"
"I just want you to survive," Ghost Fox said, his face full of bitterness.
Nozomi squinted her eyes, ceased speaking, clearly not believing him at all.
As a ninja, she carried the pride of being a ninja!
Ghost Fox continued to bitterly smile, but offered no explanation.
He knew that no matter how he explained, Nozomi wouldn’t believe it!
So he gave it up, as long as Young Master Bu agreed to his plea, he would have all the time to explain to her slowly.
"Is this the woman?"
Lu Xiaobu glanced at Nozomi and asked.
"Yes, Young Master Bu." Ghost Fox bowed his head and said.
"Ghost Fox! You’ve betrayed me?!" Suddenly understanding, Nozomi shouted, hair puffed up with rage.
"I have not! I never have!" Ghost Fox declared with absolute certainty.
"You’re just..." Nozomi continued to shout.
"Such a foolish woman! Loyal and devoted to the so-called master, yet aggressive to a man who loves you dearly!"
Lu Xiaobu shook his head: "Spicy Pepper, make her shut up!"
"Alright!" Spicy Pepper took out duct tape and started wrapping it around Nozomi furiously.
Lu Xiaobu had asked for Nozomi to shut up, but from the looks of it, Spicy Pepper intended to bind her tightly!
Ignoring Nozomi, Lu Xiaobu turned to Ghost Fox: "Anything you want to say, want to ask, now’s your chance! Later on, you won’t have another!"
"Thank you, Young Master Bu!" Ghost Fox was overjoyed, he bowed down!
He was a smart man, understood Lu Xiaobu’s meaning.
Lu Xiaobu’s words meant he intended to shelter him!
He succeeded! Truly succeeded!
His pounding heart finally settled down!
Thank fate... Well, thank Young Master Bu!
Ghost Fox calmed his mind, then asked: "How did Young Master Bu know Nozomi would come in the night?"
His question was not only seeking an answer but also wanting to understand Young Master Bu’s thought process, to better offer advice.
"Nonsense, she wouldn’t have come if you hadn’t shown up hopelessly at my place, pleading and making a scene!"
Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said.
"Ugh..."
Ghost Fox’s lips twitched instantly!
So, it was that simple?!
Oh, come on!
He had almost gone over all thirty-six stratagems and psychology before, but it turned out to be just like this!
Of course, he also knew that despite seeming simple, it was indeed complex.
There’s a saying in Heavenly Dynasty he particularly liked.
That is, seeing mountains as mountains, seeing water as water; seeing mountains not as mountains, seeing water not as water; seeing mountains still as mountains, seeing water still as water!
Ordinary people are generally at the first stage!
Whereas, the societal elite are typically at the second stage, listening to the sound, understanding its meaning!
Many things don’t need to be explicitly spoken or done; they just understand.
However, he had never seen anyone achieve this third stage!
This is a thinking method of great simplicity and return to innocence.
Such individuals can accurately identify the most crucial point amidst chaotic and noisy lines, and then, strike decisively!
Clearly, he had met someone of this third realm today!
Truly terrifying!
