"Now?" Genya asked Ito Buta with some confusion, "Are you sure you want to pay me now?"
Logically speaking, it is normal to make a deposit for some spiritual jade. Yuanye was originally going to ask for it to see if he could get some spiritual jade resources, but he really didn't expect that before he opened his mouth, Ito Buta Directly promise to give all the rewards to yourself.
This move was really a bit abnormal, but it made Genya suspicious. After all, the level of trust between him and Buta Ito was not at all to the level where he was not afraid that the other would donate money and run away or not be paid.
If Genya hadn't already accepted the commission from the Edo Joint Chief, and had the mentality that it wouldn't matter if he didn't get the second remuneration, and the remuneration proposed by Buta Ito was indeed very tempting, he would also He wouldn't agree so easily.
"Yes, I can give you the reward now." Buta Ito nodded, raised his voice and said, "Aiko, did you hear what I just said? Bring the things here."
The woman known as Aiko who had been standing behind Ito Buta bowed slightly and disappeared into the shadows.
——The protection disappeared, and now Taketa Ito is just an ordinary person with slightly better physical fitness.
——Would you like to test it out?
Yuan Ye was thinking in his mind.
Since entering the mansion again, the discomfort caused by the strange lighting layout and the suspicion caused by Buta Ito's various abnormal behaviors were superimposed. In the end, Buta Itou took the initiative to offer the reward. When it was handed over to Yuan Ye first, it exploded in concentration.
This feeling fed back to Genya's spirit, giving him a vague feeling that he could no longer be sure of Ito Buta's "existence", as if Ito Buta did not exist.
But Genya was not sure whether this perception was reminding him that there was a lie in what Buta Ito said, or whether it was hinting at something else, which made him waver.
Just when he was hesitating, Aiko came back with a plate.
——It’s too fast. Where are the things placed? I didn't hear her going to the basement or upstairs?
Genya came to Ito Buta. Naturally, he was not completely defenseless, but always prepared to deal with possible attacks, so the active psychic detection was always on. Except for the first floor of this mansion, there were shielding psychics. Detectable means, and there is only this hall, a restaurant and a bathroom on the first floor.
Although Aiko himself, as a transcendent person, was hiding his aura and could not let Yuanye sense his exact location, the time he hesitated was only one or two breaths before Aiko came back. This was really too fast. .
If Ito Taketa had planned to trade with him early and prepared the reward in advance, it can still be explained, but the speed is really abnormal.
But Aiko has come back, and Ito Buta has returned to a protected state. Not wanting to break up now, Genya can only bury this uneasiness in his heart and stop testing Ito Buta. idea.
Genya had already investigated Ito Taketa before coming here, and already knew the information about him as the elder of the Edo United Family Group. His previous actions were just to create an information gap to see if he could get some information, but he was As a family elder, Yuan Ye had to think about the consequences of breaking up.
"By the way, there is one more thing I haven't asked Mr. Ito." Yuanye gave up the idea of taking action directly and turned to use words to confirm his doubts. "Can Mr. Ito help me clear up my doubts?"
"As long as it's not a key secret, I will definitely answer it for you." Buta Ito said with a smile. The fact that he had reached a deal with Genya obviously made him feel good.
"Before, Mr. Ito has been telling me about the benefits of killing Yagyu Konobo." Yuanye considered the words and said with some hesitation, "Then can you let me know, Mr. Ito said this to me? The reason for the commission, will this be of any benefit to you?"
"That's the question." Buta Ito smiled, with a look of complete control on his face, "Do you still want to ask me why I want to give you the reward in advance? Is there something fishy about it? ?”
"That's not the case..." Yuanye was a little embarrassed when his little thoughts were revealed.
"Don't be embarrassed. After all, this is a matter of hard work. It's normal for you to have doubts." Taketa Ito said, "Well, I'll tell you what's on my mind."
"The reason why you are suspicious is because of the content of this commission, right?" Ito Buta asked, "After all, Yagyu Konobo is an extraordinary person in the second realm. I asked you, an extraordinary person in the first realm, to kill him. It’s indeed a bit whimsical, so from this point of view, this commission becomes very strange.”
Yuanye hesitated for a moment and admitted truthfully: "It is indeed true."
The reason why Genya agreed to the Edo Joint Chief before was that before he could reach cooperation with the Kujo family, he really needed the support of the Edo Joint Chief to check and balance the Kujo family who might retaliate against him.
Under such circumstances, it was difficult for him to refuse the task entrusted to him by the joint commander of Edo. In addition, he was initially planning to investigate Yagyu Komō, and after finding out the situation, he would use this as an excuse to go If you ask the Edo Joint Chief for more resources, he can still complete the investigation mission with his own strength.
