Chapter 1096: The Discovery of Sakurai Yaeko
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the morning, after was.h.i.+ng up, Lu Shu drove his taxi out to take a stroll. The scope of activity had expanded this time and he had to run between the Kokus.h.i.+kan University and the official residence of the Collection of G.o.ds. Lu Shu was wondering how he could figure out who the Metahuman in the Kokus.h.i.+kan University was.
He knew that the Collection of G.o.ds had definitely already began to check on the taxi and “Matsuyama Shouji”. However, he felt that the investigation was only on the surface level. If the Collection of G.o.ds attacked him, he could easily retreat.
However, Lu Shu did not know that the Collection of G.o.ds was more enthusiastic than he thought they would be. After he left his house for less than 15 minutes, someone had entered his rental apartment from the balcony at the back and tried to obtain some clues from the rental apartment.
Two of the intelligence offers of the Collection of G.o.ds who were wearing black shoes carefully opened the door of the balcony. The lock on the door did not pose as an obstacle to them at all.
The intelligence officers took at look at the house and did not find anything unusual. It seemed like an ordinary rental apartment with no secrets.
However, at this moment, they were shocked when they heard the information through their earphones. Then, they immediately retreated from the rental apartment.
At the next moment, a black SUV drove in from a distance away. The car looked extremely hardy and intimidating.
Sakurai Yaeko alighted from the car and went up the stairs.
There was a group of people following behind her. The two intelligence officers were shocked as they did not expect the current leader of the Collection of G.o.ds to be so well informed.
They were confused because they were conducting a normal check and did not expect to obtain too much information from the rental apartment. However, even such an important figure came over.
It was merely a taxi driver, was it worth it?!
Currently, Sakurai Yaeko held the most superior position in the Collection of G.o.ds. Be it mentally or physically, she was the recognized leader.
On ordinary days, Sakurai Yaeko lived in seclusion. Ordinary members of the Collection of G.o.ds could not see her at all and felt that it was a privilege to meet her.
If anyone could meet her in the Collection of G.o.ds, they would share the news to others joyfully, claiming that they met Lady Sakurai and she was as cold and charismatic as the legends.
The two intelligence officers were joyfully surprised. It was a coincidental surprise for them to b.u.mp into Sakurai Yaeko!
At this moment, Sakurai Yaeko was climbing up the stairs and Saitou Rin had just walked out of the house, b.u.mping straight into Sakurai Yaeko and her team.
Sakurai Yaeko walked up blatantly without trying to hide herself.
Saitou Rin was timid and stood to one corner, waiting for Sakurai Yaeko to pa.s.s by.
Sakurai Yaeko who was wearing a black suit and high heels gave off a powerful aura. She was definitely not the girl in the cherry blossom kimono in Lu Shu’s mind, and neither was she a quiet girl.
In fact, very little people from the Collection of G.o.ds ever saw Sakurai Yaeko!
Saitou Rin was a student from Kokus.h.i.+kan University. Sometimes, people would say enviously, “Ah, you are a student from Kokus.h.i.+kan University.”
However, at this moment, as Saitou Rin approached Sakurai Yaeko, she felt as though she was an ugly duckling… When Saitou Rin pa.s.sed by the team, Sakurai Yaeko suddenly stopped. “Have you ever talked to Matsuyama Shouji recently?”
Saitou Rin was stunned for a moment. “Matsuyama san is a good person, why are you looking for him?”
Sakurai Yaeko gave Saitou Rin a shot. Saitou Rin was stunned for a moment. “Are you Sakurai Yaeko? The one whom they called a G.o.ddess back in high school!”
Actually, Sakurai Yaeko was a member of Saitou Rin’s cohort. However, Sakurai Yaeko had stopped going to school. Instead, the Collection of G.o.ds invited a teacher to the official residence of the Collection of G.o.ds to teach her on a one-on-one basis. Moreover, the teachers were not strict and were instead afraid of her… When they held lessons, there were over ten people wearing suits and sungla.s.ses staring at the teachers, anyone would be afraid…
At this moment, Sakurai Yaeko was stunned too. It had been such a long time since someone called her by that name. In fact, n.o.body called her that ever since she became the leader of the Collection of G.o.ds.
Saitou Rin realized that she said something wrong and immediately bowed. “Sorry sorry, you are at a much superior status now.”
Sakurai Yaeko suddenly smiled. “It’s alright, don’t worry. I just wanted to ask you something regarding Matsuyama Shouji.”
Saitou Rin heaved a sigh of relief. For some reason, when Sakurai Yaeko smiled, the tension suddenly disappeared.
“Can I ask why are you looking for him?” Saitou Rin asked cautiously. She treated Matsuyama Shouji as a friend and would definitely not betray him.
“Hold on, what’s your name?” Sakurai Yaeko suddenly asked.
“I am Saitou Rin.”
Suddenly, Sakurai Yaeko became friendly. “Chiba mentioned your name before and said that you are a nice person. Are you her good friend?”
“Oh, really?” Saitou Rin was very surprised. One reason was because the leader of the Collection of G.o.ds heard her name before. Another reason was because she realized that someone praised her…
To put it simply, when one’s friend praised one without one knowing, and someone else told one about it…
It would make one feel extremely happy…
Both of them suddenly became friendly because of the girl named Chiba. Chiba Mahiro, Lu Shu knew her too. Chiba used to like Lu Shu’s spy character named Kirihara Yousuke.
Chiba Mahiro became friends with Sakurai Yaeko after hosting her and Lu Shu. They even shopped together and when they did that, they pretended to be ordinary people and did not bring any bodyguards.
Saitou Rin had heard Chiba talk about Sakurai Yaeko before but she did not take it seriously.
Sakurai Yaeko suddenly asked, “Can you tell me if there’s anything strange with Matsuyama Shouji recently?”
“Yes.” Saitou Rin decided to be honest. “I feel stressed when talking to him, his tone was slightly… agitating…”
Agitating, or rather, harsh.
Sakurai Yaeko was very tall. Saitou Rin had to look up to see her expression.
At this moment, she realized that after her sentence, Sakurai Yaeko’s expression brightened up. She was not sure if it was just an illusion!
