Why shouldn't a man carry a Wu hook, and reclaim the fifty prefectures of the pass and mountains?
He had lived this long, and when it rained, he always carried a sword, not an umbrella.
His way of sheltering from the rain was either through movement techniques or by 'waving' through it.
What's more, he was already soaked when it rained before.
He was completely soaked, what was the point of using an umbrella now?
It was better to just follow his heart.
Hayakawa Rin's voice stopped abruptly, only a slight shaking sound remained.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang.
"Wait, wait."
Hayakawa Rin bit her lip lightly, struggled to get up, and went to the table to pick up the phone.
She glanced at the caller ID, Kawaki Reiko.
Just as Hayakawa Rin was about to hang up the phone, her right hand was grabbed by a large hand and pulled behind her.
Before she could react, a hand reached out from the side and answered the call.
Hayakawa Rin widened her eyes, turned back and looked at Hayato.
"She asked me to send you home, if you don't answer the phone, your good friend will probably not be able to sleep all night."
Hayato said confidently, but looking at that face full of mischievous smiles, Hayakawa Rin couldn't help but feel somewhat ashamed and annoyed.
This bastard just wanted to make her uncomfortable.
However, looking at the connected call, she could only suppress the unusual feeling, propping her arm on the table, and holding the phone to her ear with one hand.
"Hello, Reiko!"
On the other side, within the Kawaki Estate.
"Miss Kawaki, may I have this dance?"
A young man in a white suit, with an elegant smile on his face, walked leisurely towards Kawaki Reiko.
Kawaki Reiko, who usually dressed like a tomboy, was forced to wear a black, form-fitting evening gown tonight.
Her aloof temperament appeared elegant and charming against the backdrop of the dress.
Looking at the man approaching, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
The guests at tonight's banquet were all company directors and heirs from large enterprises.
Every single one of these people was involved in this circle.
No one understood the temperaments of these guys better than her.
They all looked decent on the surface, but their private lives were more than just wild; that would be an understatement.
Take the guy in front of her, for example. As far as she knew, just a few days ago, he had caused quite a bit of trouble by raping a university student.
This matter was no secret in the circle. If his family hadn't had some money to suppress it, he would probably be locked up by now.
This kind of scum had no self-awareness, yet he still dared to come over and strike up a conversation?
"I don't know how!"
Kawaki Reiko suppressed the displeasure in her heart and said coldly.
If today's banquet wasn't hosted by the Japan, and she encountered this guy trying to hit on her elsewhere, she would definitely make this bastard understand what tenth-dan judo was.
"It's okay if you don't know, I can teach you..."
The man who was rejected looked a bit embarrassed, but he didn't dare to get angry.
He glanced at the few bastards behind him who were mocking him. If he hadn't lost the bet with these guys, he wouldn't have come over to hit on this tough rock.
Among the upper class of the entire Japan, who didn't know Kawaki Reiko's temper?
Back then, some guy who didn't know his place, wanted to make a move because he fell in love at first sight, and ended up being beaten into the hospital, lying in bed for a whole month.
She had a fiery temper, and her family was one of the well-known giant conglomerates in Japan.
Although she was a Woman, the heirs of this generation of the Japan were only Kawaki Reiko and her older sister.
If nothing unexpected happened, one of these two people would be the helmsman of the giant ship that was the Kawaki conglomerate in the future.
Even the heirs of the other conglomerates had to steer clear of this Woman.
"Get lost!"
Seeing that the other party was still trying to pester her, the already impatient Kawaki Reiko's expression immediately turned cold.
If she wasn't angry, these bastards would really think her temper had improved.
The man who was about to say something else, seeing that Kawaki Reiko was truly angry, didn't dare to pester her at all.
He turned around and left dejectedly.
Hitting a guest at their own banquet was something others couldn't do, but with Kawaki Reiko, it was hard to say.
"A bunch of useless people..."
Looking at the man who left dejectedly, the disgust in Kawaki Reiko's eyes deepened.
If this guy had dared to continue hitting on her at the risk of being beaten up by her, she might have even thought a bit more highly of him.
He didn't even have this much courage, yet he still dared to come over and hit on her. She didn't know who gave him the courage.
"Not even as good as that Monk."
Muttering softly, Hayato's figure suddenly flashed in Kawaki Reiko's mind.
Although a bit greedy for money, compared to these useless people, he was at least a Man.
"I wonder if that Monk safely sent Rin back."
Thinking of Rin, Kawaki Reiko couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Although she didn't think that Monk would do anything to Rin.
After all, the Temple was right there.
If that Monk really dared to do anything excessive to Rin, she would definitely make this guy regret it.
Although he wouldn't dare to do anything excessive, it was hard to say if he would secretly take advantage of her in private.
That Monk looked like a good person, but bad people don't write their names on their foreheads.
For this kind of thing, it's better to be safe than sorry.
What if he saw Rin was drunk and his beastly nature flared up?
Especially since Rin had drunk so much alcohol, what if something happened while she was drunk...
It wasn't impossible for it to happen.
As soon as she thought of Rin being taken advantage of by that Monk, a hint of regret appeared on Kawaki Reiko's annoyed face.
If she had known this would happen, she would have just safely sent Rin home before attending the banquet.
Anyway, she had attended this kind of banquet so many times, it wasn't interesting anymore.
If her sister hadn't insisted she show up, she wouldn't have bothered to come.
"I should call and confirm."
Kawaki Reiko, who had no interest in attending the banquet at all, got up and was about to go back to her room to make a phone call.
"Reiko!"
A charming voice suddenly came from behind her.
Kawaki Reiko turned around and saw a sexually attractive Woman in a white high-end dress slowly walking towards her.
Her mature and intellectual face looked seven or eight parts similar to Kawaki Reiko.
However, compared to her wildness, this Woman's temperament seemed gentler and more dignified.
She was like a young lady from a scholarly family, every look and smile carrying a kind of inclusive kindness that made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.
Within her gentleness, there was also a charming style unique to mature women.
Any adjective that could praise a Woman seemed to be found in this perfect Woman.
"Sister!"
Kawaki Reiko was like a mouse meeting a cat, her previous arrogance completely gone, replaced by a docile expression.
In this house, she wasn't afraid of anyone, the only one she feared was her older sister.
No one knew better than her how scheming this seemingly gentle and generous sister was behind the scenes.
Her childhood, speaking of it, was full of tears.
In the past Japan, if someone mentioned words like rude and mischievous, it wouldn't be her.
Her older sister was the real ancestor.
Compared to her level, she didn't even have one-tenth of her sister's peak power.
Although her sister's personality had become mature and steady with age, unlike how she was before, rude and unreasonable.
But she always believed that what was in a person's bones couldn't change.
Therefore, Kawaki Reiko, who feared nothing, was only afraid of her older sister.
Just thinking about it, she could still feel the faint pain from being disciplined in her childhood.
"The banquet isn't over yet, where are you going?"
Kawaki Remi had a gentle smile on her face that made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze, and looked at Kawaki Reiko with gentle eyes.
"This banquet is too boring, I want to go back to my room."
Kawaki Reiko pouted, she never liked this kind of noisy place, where there were strangers everywhere.
She disliked banquets exclusive to important figures like this even more.
These guys, each with a smile on their face, were scheming behind the scenes.
They clearly wanted to stab others in the back, ruin their families, and were full of malicious ideas to completely exploit people.
But on the surface, they still had to act enthusiastic and friendly.
Just thinking about such things made her feel nauseous.
She didn't understand why people could be so hypocritical.
Compared to this kind of banquet, she preferred to take a few close friends and talk and have a few drinks in a quiet bar.
This kind of life, on the contrary, made her happier.
"Reiko, this is the life of a Lord."
Kawaki Remi's smile disappeared, revealing a hint of weary helplessness.
No one wants to wear a mask on their face, but sometimes that mask has to be worn.
After a long time, even they themselves can't distinguish whether it's a mask or their real face.
"If this is the life of a Lord, I'd rather not grow up, anyway, I still have my sister."
Listening to her sister's naive words, Kawaki Remi shook her head helplessly.
Who doesn't want to live a free and easy life?
However, given their background, they must accept their destiny.
With a business as large as Kawaki's, as the only two heirs of the next generation.
No matter how much they don't want to take over the family business, one of them must shoulder this responsibility.
Behind them are not just one or two people, but the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
As the older sister, she always has to shield her younger sister from the wind and rain.
Fortunately, she is already used to it.
"Go!"
Waving her hand in distaste, Kawaki Remi turned and left.
Watching Kawaki Remi's back disappear, Kawaki Reiko breathed a sigh of relief.
She was just afraid that her sister would make her stay at the banquet until it ended.
Fortunately, her older sister still understood her.
She knew she wasn't used to this kind of place.
"It would be great if I could stay young forever."
Walking towards her room, Kawaki Reiko muttered softly.
In the past two years, as she has grown older, both her Father and her sister have started to make her actively participate in various high-society banquets.
While getting to know various members of high society, it is also preparation for taking over the family business in advance.
Unfortunately, she doesn't like this kind of life at all.
Making her engage in superficial pleasantries with those hypocritical people is worse than killing her.
Fortunately, perhaps they also saw that she didn't have the talent for this kind of training.
Her family gradually gave up on this idea.
Their biggest requirement for her is to find a capable husband who will marry into the family.
However, marriage is still a long way off for her.
She doesn't want to enter the grave of marriage so quickly.
Returning to her room and taking off her dress, Kawaki Reiko suddenly felt like she was alive again.
Wearing that dress, she had to be careful even when walking, which really made her feel stifled.

Washing off her makeup and changing into comfortable pajamas, Kawaki Reiko took out her phone and called her friend.
After a busy signal, the call was connected.
"Hello, Reiko!"
Hearing the familiar voice on the phone, Kawaki Reiko couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Rin, where are you now?"
"Me? Uh... of course I'm at home, at home."
Rin's voice was intermittent, but Kawaki Reiko didn't pay much attention to it. After all, having drunk so much alcohol, even if her mind was clear, it would be a bit slow.
It's normal!
"That Monk, didn't do anything bad to you, did he?"
Kawaki Reiko asked casually, and the other side of the phone fell into a brief silence.
It was as if the microphone had been muffled.
"Why is there no sound?"
Kawaki Reiko frowned, turned up the volume to the maximum and put it to her ear. Only then could she barely hear a very rapid clapping sound.
Clapping sound?
Where would a clapping sound come from in the middle of the night?
While she was wondering, Hayakawa Rin's voice suddenly came from the phone.
"Of course not, Master, how could he, do anything to me."
Listening to that lazy voice, the long, sighing tone was like the afterglow of an opera, carrying a taste of enjoyment.
Kawaki Reiko couldn't help but frown.
"Rin, are you okay? Your voice sounds so strange."
"I'm fine, maybe it's, I haven't woken up yet, I'll be fine after I sleep."
Listening to her friend's explanation, Kawaki Reiko's brows relaxed.
"You should get some good rest after drinking so much."
"Then you should rest well first."
Hanging up the phone, Kawaki Reiko lay on the bed, the figure of Hayato flashing through her mind.
She couldn't help but let out a soft hum.
"Consider yourself lucky you were honest."
"You almost got me killed!"
Hayakawa Rin's voice was melodious and fluctuating, the emotions she had been suppressing instantly collapsing the moment the call ended.
"What does it have to do with This humble monk? Didn't the layman actively seduce me?"
"How did This humble monk end up killing the layman?"
Hayato, with his hand on his waist, smiled slightly.
Hayakawa Rin looked ashamed upon hearing this. She didn't know why she had suddenly leaned in earlier as if possessed.
It was like actively serving a big meal to someone else.
Perhaps it was the restlessness she yearned for in her heart, or perhaps it was a sudden impulse from her alcohol-numbed brain.
But the facts were in front of her, and she couldn't find a reason to argue.
Unable to retort, Hayakawa Rin could only lie on the table, expressing her resistance with her actions.
Seeing this, Hayato smiled slightly. This Woman didn't even know why she was so proactive.
However, he had a guess.
He had noticed before that there was a special masochistic tendency in Hayakawa Rin's bones.
Although she couldn't detect it herself, the instinct in her bones would remember this feeling.
It would subtly drive her to pursue that kind of stimulation.
And his previous performance had left a deep impression on Hayakawa Rin.
Even if her reason made her restrain herself, she couldn't control her subconscious instinct to lean towards him.
This Woman, in her bones, longed to be conquered and controlled.
Both physically and mentally.
She was like a wild horse with a bridle on, waiting to be ridden by its Master.
And he was that Master.
Hayato swayed slightly, his gaze sweeping around the room.
Hayakawa Rin's room was very monotonous, even somewhat simple.
The only decorative item in the room was a photograph placed on the desk.
Hayato narrowed his eyes, looking at the photo placed in the corner of the desk.
The photo showed two figures, one of whom was Hayakawa Rin, and the other was a somewhat gloomy young man of similar age to Hayakawa Rin.
Below the photo, there was a very small line of text.
"Let's always be together!"
This photo was clearly taken several years ago, but it was well preserved.
It was evident that its owner cherished this photo.
If there were no surprises, the young man in this photo should be Hayakawa Rin's boyfriend.
And seeing the photo in Hayato's hand, Hayakawa Rin, who had been a little absent-minded, suddenly changed her expression and instantly sobered up.
Her already shy expression became even more ashamed and guilty.
Although it was just a photo, looking at it in the current situation gave her an unspeakable sense of betrayal deep down.
It was like she had betrayed her husband.
But at the same time, her heart was inexplicably excited and thrilled.
Feeling the sudden extreme pressure, Hayato's playful expression revealed a malicious smile.
"Just looking at it elicits such a big reaction."
"Layman, you seem to care a lot about this photo."
Hayakawa Rin still wanted to explain, but suddenly felt Hayato's behavior become unusually violent.
In just a short moment, Hayakawa Rin's mind went blank.
Hayakawa Rin couldn't even speak.
"Staying together forever, huh?"
"No..."
"I'll make Hayakawa Rin stay together forever!"
"Wait....."
"Still staying together forever!"
"Please, spare..."
Looking at Hayakawa Rin's pleading face, Hayato's face revealed a smile that made one's heart tremble.
Hayato picked up the photo and placed it in the Woman's mouth.
"Bite it, don't let it fall before the end."
