Chapter 526: He looks very hardworking.
"Uh, Ren, control your expression. Lean over, and I'll tell you slowly..."
Araki Ichito leaned close to Kuki Shinobu's ear and told her in detail all the expenses the original owner had incurred for Miss Hina.
"what?!"
Hisaki Shinobu's eyebrows shot up, and his face beneath the mask turned crimson. He was so angry that he was practically bursting into flames.
Although the eldest son often spends too much money on novelties, he is still a child at heart, and the amount is not large, so Hisagi Shinobu simply lets him do as he pleases.
But I never expected that the boss would contribute such a huge sum for that Hina!
one million……
It was still the million she earned!
Araki Ichito was so amazed that he couldn't help but take a step back.
The money you worked so hard to earn was spent by your boss on female streamers. Isn't that just another form of sycophancy and incompetence?
Hisaki Shinobu slowly walked towards Ichito, his intense killing intent almost solidifying into a tangible form.
She grabbed Yidou's ear, pulling him back from that state of mind, her eyes flashing with a dangerous red light.
"Ah... Ren... what's wrong?"
Yi Dou swallowed hard, the sudden murderous aura making him tremble.
“Now…tell me the truth about every single expense you’ve given Miss Sheena, and don’t lie.”
Ichito turned to look at Araki Ichito, only to see the latter give him an awkward but polite smile before turning and leaving without hesitation.
Yidou:? ? ?
This old man has misled me!
Yi Dou never expected that he would be betrayed by himself one day. He didn't know whether to curse or not.
But Hisagi Shinobu didn't care what he thought. If he didn't say anything, then even as a deputy, she knew a little about martial arts!
Even Araki Ichito might come to lend a hand.
"Oh, the young man is awake again?"
Araki Ichito turned his head to look at the other side, where Xiao and the others were talking. He quickly took Ushio and ran over to eat some melon seeds.
"We can only judge the quality of a method if we have a plan to implement. That's not the situation right now. I suppose you don't have any better ideas either. Otherwise, you wouldn't still be stuck here."
Xiao's tone was very calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.
"But is your method guaranteed to succeed?!"
Xiao shook his head. "Not necessarily."
Paimon stomped his feet repeatedly in the void, furious. "Are you stupid?! It's not worth risking your life for something so uncertain!"
Yan Fei crossed her arms and turned her head away, her attitude extremely resolute.
In short, I disagree with this plan!
Xiao continued, "What if I said this is a [will]?"
"You son of a bitch!"
A slap landed hard on the back of Xiao's head, causing him to stumble and nearly fall to the ground.
Araki Kazuto withdrew his hand, looking displeased, and raised his other fist.
"Look, have you ever seen a fist as big as a sandbag? If you say another stupid thing, I'll smash your head with this fist."
"you…"
Xiao's face twitched as he touched the back of his head.
That really hurts.
Araki Ichito shrugged. "What's wrong with me? If you're not happy, then let's fight. I'm ready to fight to the end."
"Although I don't really want to get involved in this kind of thing, my other self is much more sentimental than I am."
He turned to look at the figure behind him, "Are you going to use your fists to turn the tide? There are two of you here, ready to fight."
"Of course!"
A rousing voice sounded like a bugle call, and Yi Dou strode over, rubbing his hands together, his bold smile revealing a stubborn seriousness.
"What do you mean by 'one stays, one goes'? I don't want to hear that!"
"After saying so much..."
Ichito walked over to Araki Ichito's side, stood side by side, and raised their fists together.
"—Isn't this exactly what I wanted?!"
boom! ! !
A magnificent golden light rose and shone brightly, and the heavy rocks and the powerful fist force transformed into an invisible, vast impact, tearing everything in sight and restoring light.
Dust whistled, gray dust surged like waves, spraying wildly to both sides, the enormous sound affecting the entire cave, causing it to tremble continuously.
When the smoke cleared, a brand new road appeared before our eyes, with a gap five times larger than in the original story.
"Haha... Looks like I couldn't smash this crappy place to pieces with one punch."
Araki Ichito looked slightly tired; using so much elemental power at once was really taking a toll on him.
"But isn't there a new way... haha..."
His body swayed slightly, his heavy eyelids kept closing, and he murmured softly.
"Heroes and all that... I'll be the hero... that's all..."
Yi Dou slumped forward helplessly, but was caught by an arm.
Araki Ichito grabbed the other person's arm, lifted him up, and punched him in the chest.
"Good lad, you didn't embarrass yourself."
Then, he handed the bucket to Kuki Shinobu, waved to the crowd and said, "Alright, we've completed the task of breaking down the door. Now it's your turn. Get to work."
"Uh, what's with this tone of treating me like a slave?!"
Paimon's expression was strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
"Isn't that right? You all look very hardworking and resilient."
Araki Ichito spoke matter-of-factly, approaching the two of them and chuckling.
"I could tell at a glance that you guys are the kind of top-notch workers who can do tens of millions of work for a few thousand or tens of thousands of Mora, and do it perfectly. You must have handled this situation many times, so this time will definitely be a piece of cake."
"What?! You bastard... you bastard! Do you even know what you're saying?!"
Paimon was so angry that his face turned red, and he stomped his feet in the air again.
"You wretched fellow, you're even worse than a cowherd! I'll give you a nickname too!"
"Hmm! It's decided! I'll call you Black Orochi!"
Paimon pointed at Arataki Ichito and said with a serious expression.
"Wait, what is this thing called Black Serpent? Why don't you just call me Black Filthy Serpent, or King Serpent?"
Ararataki Ichidou was full of resentment.
Paimon wagged his finger and commented, "Hmph, because not only are you dressed all in black, but your words are more venomous than a snake's!"
"Tch, but that's still better than that short, ugly melon."
Araki Ichito raised his hands in a strange and sarcastic manner, a look that immediately made people angry.
"What? You call me that, just like the cowherd did! Ugh, this is infuriating!"
Paimon couldn't understand why Paimon liked to persecute her when the two were completely different except for their faces.
Do you really think that our sect has no sword?
"Alright, Paimon, the others are already far away."
Ying whispered from behind.
Paimon turned around upon hearing this and found that Yelan and Xiao had already left.
"Hey, leaving so quickly?"
Paimon scratched his head, a question mark appearing on his forehead.
"Maybe it's just because you talk too much, Paimon."
Araki Ichito's smile had a sly, cheeky quality to it.
"Hey! Mingming, you're the one who talks more!"
"Wow, you, who speaks for travelers, have no right to talk to me like that, do you?"
"Boss, shut up for now."
Hisa couldn't help but say something.
"Oh."
Araki Ichito remained silent.
