Trafford's Trading Club

735: Chapter 148: Empty City 735: Chapter 148: Empty City The overcast rain gradually approached the horizon, with fallen blossoms scattered throughout this place.

The sakura petals drifting in the air, without the illumination of sunlight, appeared less vibrant.

Obviously, it wasn’t the right time for cherry blossom viewing.

Miki looked at the yellowed paper book lying across You Ye’s hands, seemingly emitting a lingering scent of ink.

However, she didn’t immediately take it.

For Miki, this maid who had once almost killed her, she instinctively harbored some apprehension.

And at this moment, You Ye’s polite smile made it even harder for her to discern the other’s intentions.

She didn’t know much about the club’s affairs from Arex, only that he was quite concerned about leveraging the club’s power… even appearing extremely cautious.

Therefore, Miki’s hesitation at this moment wasn’t without reason.

She furrowed her brows, looking at Luo Qiu, and after a long silence, said, “A story?

What story?” “You’ll know once you look.” Luo Qiu said calmly, “In fact, the ending isn’t written yet, so why not give a few suggestions…

Oh, and this is Arex’s box.

Let’s proceed with the transaction after you’ve read it, how about that?”

Miki furrowed her brows again, turned her hand, and a sphere of light appeared in her palm.

Once this sphere appeared, it didn’t stop.

Instead, another sphere floated from her palm, followed by a third.

Then, at an incredible speed, more spheres continuously emerged from Miki’s hand, quickly merging into the first sphere.

In merely seven to eight seconds, a trace of exhaustion appeared on Miki’s face.

She sighed and handed it over, “One-third… the agreed amount!” “Please take care of it.” Boss Luo pushed the box in front of Miki, while the sphere of light, filled with a large number of True Souls, slowly reached him.

Miki embraced the box in her arms, and a trace of relaxation finally appeared in her expression.

She glanced down, stroking her hand over the old leather, revealing a slight smile.

It was the first time Luo Qiu saw a smile on Miki’s face, and he curiously observed her.

After a while, Miki secured the box, then looked at You Ye.

After a slight hesitation, she finally took the book.

She didn’t open it immediately, seemingly pondering, “Is this… written by her?” “More or less.” Boss Luo nodded, “I continued some of it.

But it’s essentially written according to her idea.

Of course…

I’m not her.” “Is that so?” Miki nodded, suddenly her expression turned indifferent, “In that case, there’s no need to read it.

I know what’s written in this.

I’ve always been by her side, even though she could never see me… or thought she couldn’t see me.”

Luo Qiu nodded, suddenly asked, “Were you dissatisfied from the beginning?”

Miki shook her head, turned her hand, and the book was enveloped in the blue Demon Fox Fire, “It’s not a matter of satisfaction.

It’s just… there’s no need to read it anymore.”

Watching the book burn under the Demon Fox Fire, Luo Qiu stood indifferent… not because he didn’t care about the book’s survival, but simply because under the Demon Fox Fire’s blaze, the book didn’t catch fire. “Eh?” Miki looked slightly surprised, then furrowed her brows, increasing the heat of the demonized fire, yet she still couldn’t make it truly burn.

She glanced at Luo Qiu, then snorted coldly, directly grabbing it with both hands, intending to tear it apart—but to Miki’s increased anger, she couldn’t tear it! “Are you flaunting your power?” Miki squinted her eyes.

Luo Qiu shook his head, “Only because I have to hand it over to someone in the end.

If it’s destroyed by Miss Miki here, that wouldn’t be good.” “Someone else?” Miki frowned, seemingly thinking, then suddenly glanced at the ‘Inuyasha’ already absorbed by the sakura tree roots, disdainfully saying, “Him?

Then you can be disappointed; he’ll only become my nourishment and will never wake up again!” “In that case, it would be the same with Miss Miki’s hands.” Luo Qiu smiled slightly, “Then, I won’t disturb you further.”

As he said this, under Miki’s incredulous gaze, Boss Luo, along with the Maid and Da Zhe, casually departed.

Miki indeed had the impulse to retain these three guys…

If she could absorb these three as well, the sakura tree would likely grow to another stage, wouldn’t it?

But knowing Luo Qiu and the others had completely left, Miki still didn’t take action.

Somehow, she even felt a sense of relief—for not taking action, she felt relaxed.

Carrying the box, Miki came beside the healing Arex, placing the box in his arms, then sat down, gazing at Arex’s face.

With a fervent look.

But she suddenly furrowed her eyebrows, instinctively glancing at the book placed beside her, hesitated for a moment, then Miki took a deep breath and reached over, laid it flat on her lap, and ultimately opened the first page. “I’ve already made a break with you…

You can’t affect me.” — [Frost Moon, chirruping.

The Nagato House welcomed a newborn life, it was a girl, named Tsuruko…] … …

The two women who tested the medicine were safe and sound, having passed the last day of the month.

This news spread not only quickly throughout Zaodao Village but also reached the Nagato House, and naturally reached Nagato Munachika’s ears.

The Nagato House had quite a few servant girls, and they were naturally eager for the Divine Medicine that could lift the curse.

However, the family rules of the Nagato House were very strict.

If Lord Nagato did not speak, the women in the household could only restrain themselves and remain motionless. “I heard that the mysterious Respected Samurai has already started distributing the Divine Medicine…” “Yes, if we could go and get one… but I don’t know why the Lord…” “Since this morning, the Lord seems to have not left the courtyard…” “Has anyone seen Saburo Laoye?

The Lord said, if anyone sees Saburo Laoye, they should inform him that the Lord wants to see him.”

The Nagato House was full of discussions.

In the courtyard of the old residence where Nagato Munachika lived, the fifty-year-old Nagato Munachika was sitting upright on his knees.

He was currently playing chess; the Black and White pieces had unknowingly formed a fierce battle on the chessboard—but his opponent was not Nagato Shinji, who was sitting in front of him.

Nagato Munachika’s opponent was actually himself.

Nagato Shinji watched Nagato Munachika place another white piece, making the chess game even more unpredictable…

If it were a normal day, he would be very interested in watching this game, but now Nagato Shinji seemed somewhat distracted. “Father, could that mysterious Samurai possibly know about the dungeon…”

Nagato Munachika waved his hand, a gesture to silence Nagato Shinji.

Nagato Munachika picked up another black piece, making the game even more chaotic.

It was unclear how much time passed, but Nagato Shinji eventually couldn’t hold back, “Father, could you at least say something!” “Has Saburo not returned yet?” Nagato Munachika suddenly stopped his actions and asked Nagato Shinji.

Nagato Shinji could only shake his head, “Early this morning, no one had seen Uncle Saburo.

It’s said that Uncle Saburo went out yesterday and hasn’t returned.” “Hmm.” Nagato Munachika nodded, “You tell those in the house who want to get the medicine to go and get it themselves.” “Father, but if we do this, wouldn’t our longstanding efforts be…” Nagato Shinji expressed his concern, “Furthermore, the origins of that mysterious Samurai are indeed…” “No worries,” Nagato Munachika said calmly, “I don’t believe he will stay here forever.

As for the Divine Medicine being able to break the curse, I don’t believe it at all.

Whether the curse exists, only we know.

If that guy figures something out, he should just say it directly.

There’s no need for such a move.

But the fact that he claims to bestow the so-called Divine Medicine makes it intriguing.” “Father means, this guy has ulterior motives?” Nagato Shinji was immediately shocked, because according to what the servant reported yesterday, that mysterious Samurai was not an ordinary person, “Then what exactly is his true purpose?” “Although the servant reported what he heard yesterday, neither you nor I were there personally,” Nagato Munachika pondered. “The authenticity is impossible to verify, but the intention will be revealed sooner or later.

Moving less is better than moving more…

Shinji, tell the people at home that if anyone wants to go receive that so-called Divine Medicine, let them go.

It would be best if someone could bring back an extra one for me to look at.”

When Shinji heard this, he suddenly looked up at Nagato Munachika.

He opened his mouth, intending to say something, but then he heard a voice from outside the door, “Lord, Saburo Laoye has returned.”

Nagato Munachika didn’t place the white piece and instead put it back in the chess box.

He said in a deep voice, “Then let him come to see me.” …

Saburo Laoye not only returned by himself but also brought along another man, who carried a sword and seemed to be a Samurai as well.

In the Nagato House, only one person had gone to the Sacrificial Plaza yesterday to gather information, so the others hadn’t seen the mysterious Samurai.

However, some people had their suspicions in their hearts.

The servant conveyed Nagato Munachika’s message.

Nagato Saburo looked at Mo Xiaofei at this moment and said, “You wait here first, there are some things I want to say directly to my elder brother…

I plan to face him alone.” “Alright.” Mo Xiaofei did not hesitate much and nodded directly upon hearing this.

With that said, Nagato Saburo left directly.

Mo Xiaofei sat down to meditate alone and closed his eyes to rest.

This was where Nagato Saburo lived; he used to live here with Narukami Haru.

Suddenly, a woman’s voice came, “Miss Tsuruko, Miss Tsuruko, where are you?”

This was Ah Xiu’s voice…

Mo Xiaofei had not forgotten the conversation in the woodshed with the maid.

He had a flash of pity in his eyes but shook his head in the end.

Just then, the door outside was slowly pushed open, and a little girl was looking in with wide eyes, seemingly puzzled… not understanding why a stranger appeared here. “We meet again,” Mo Xiaofei smiled at the little girl and said gently, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t do anything to you this time…

I also apologize for the previous incident.”

The little girl was still puzzled.

Mo Xiaofei sighed softly, “Nagato Tsuruko, if possible, I hope to give you another life…”
