Chapter 4092 Helper
Yusuke Takaoka is quite satisfied with his current life.
Since he got close to his brother Eizan Etsuya, he has no worries about food, drink, or other expenses and is living a very comfortable life.
He currently works for Eizan Etsuya's group as a deputy manager in a certain department. Although he holds the position, he hardly does any work; simply put, he gets paid for nothing by relying on connections.
He and Eizan Etsuya had a life-or-death relationship, so Eizan Etsuya was naturally happy to take care of him. After all, Takaoka Yūnori's abilities were truly astonishing; he could predict the future.
This ability might not be needed in normal times, but it would be incredibly useful in a critical moment.
Eizan Etsuya would rather spend more money to support this great master than try to build a relationship with him when he needs something from him. After all, money is the easiest thing for Eizan Etsuya to obtain now.
Yes, Eizan Etsu is completely different now. Before, he was just a rising star in the business world, but since Linton ordered him to cooperate with Matsumoto Yoshishi, he has firmly established himself. Now, his strength rivals that of established conglomerates.
In fact, after the dramatic changes in the world, many established conglomerates were simply unable to adapt and began to decline. The world is changing, and the business landscape is naturally undergoing dramatic changes as well. He belongs to the top players who emerged after this reshuffling.
So, Eizan Etsu was naturally happy to spend some money to support a master with the ability to foresee the future. He wouldn't have this opportunity if they weren't life-or-death friends.
Yuzuru Takaoka himself has no ambition and is quite satisfied with his current life.
Especially after experiencing the series of events that led to him being hunted down by Linton, he suddenly felt the beauty of life. Living in the moment and enjoying life to the fullest is his current philosophy.
Now that his powerful connections could practically provide him with unlimited money, allowing him to spend it however he pleased, Takaoka Yusuke didn't think much of anything else. He didn't have any childish ideas about saving the world with his own abilities. He just wanted to indulge in pleasure forever.
Unfortunately, his good friend Eizan Etsuya is really busy right now. Takaoka Yūnori can understand this; Eizan Etsuya's name is now quite famous throughout Japan, and in some ways, he has reached the level of Matsumoto Yoshishi.
Because now everyone knows that Eizan Etsuya's background may be related to Linton. If he is related to Linton, then the relationship is too strong. How could he not be famous?
On the contrary, because he hasn't shown much activity, not many people know about him. However, his other identity—yes, he's the notorious thief Yatagarasu—is quite famous now.
Yes, Yatagarasu has returned to the scene. He didn't dare to do anything else while being hunted by Linton, but now that he has nothing to do, he naturally has to continue his phantom thief business.
There's no way around it; his system points can only be obtained by completing the phantom thief's performance. To this day, no one else knows that his system is actually called the Phantom Thief Simulation System, and it's not about predicting the future at all.
Even Linton was unaware of this, because he had claimed that his ability was to predict the future, and that was exactly what he demonstrated.
In order to use his abilities, he naturally needed to maintain his points. So, the phantom thief act had to continue. Of course, he couldn't get caught; his identity couldn't be exposed. Even though his good brother now had Linton's backing, he didn't, and he didn't want to be exposed. The more discreet his public identity was, the better; ideally, no one would know. Right now, the people in the company only knew that he was related to Chairman Eizan Etsuya; besides that, no one knew anything about his precognition or his phantom thief abilities.
These days, Takaoka Yuzuri has accumulated quite a few points. Although he has to spend some each time he has to simulate a phantom thief and buy skills, as his abilities have improved, he can still earn a lot of points each time he performs a phantom thief act.
Just when he was feeling that life was getting better and better, someone suddenly found him.
At this moment, he was slacking off in the office. That's right, his job at the company was basically just slacking off, at most planning the next performance of the phantom thief in his mind.
He devises his official thief plans at home and wouldn't bring them to the company. His work at the company is just a performance for others; he frequently takes leave to go out, rarely spending extended periods at the office.
However, he was planning to slack off all day, but the front desk informed him that someone was looking for him and that he had not made an appointment in advance.
The receptionist said that the other party didn't say what it was about, only that his name was Shimizu Ritsu, and that if he heard that name, Takaoka Yusuke would see him.
Takaoka Yuzuru was completely bewildered. Wait, who is Shimizu Ritsu? He had no idea!
He searched the name carefully, but couldn't recall ever hearing it before. Wait, where did this guy get the confidence to say he'd want to meet him just because he gave his name?
Did Takaoka Yūnée ultimately meet him? Of course, he did. He was genuinely curious about who this man was and why he wanted to see him; he wanted to hear what the other party had to say. The fact that the man specifically wanted to see him was quite strange. As mentioned before, he was very low-key, so why would someone specifically request to see him by name?
It wasn't until he invited the person to the reception room and saw him in person that Takaoka Yūnori realized he actually knew this person.
That's right. Although he didn't know the other person's real name was Shimizu Ritsu, he had indeed seen this person before. Where had he seen him? Of course, inside Aizen's underground base.
Yes, he and Eizan Etsuya had certainly been to the base, quite a few times. And this person had also appeared at the base. Although Takaoka Yūnori didn't know exactly what this person's situation was, as mentioned before, Shimizu Ritsu was cooperating with research at the base, and Linton and Aizen hadn't said anything about locking him up or torturing him. Shimizu Ritsu wouldn't resist or seek death, so he was quite free at the base.
Therefore, Takaoka Yūnori's impression of Shimizu Ritsu was that this person was most likely like himself, a subordinate of Linton or Aizen.
Now that the other party has suddenly come to find me, could it be that... Lord Linton or Lord Aizen have some kind of mission for me?
As expected, once Shimizu Ritsu spoke, Takaoka Yūnori became even more certain of his guess. Shimizu Ritsu said that he needed to speak with him because it was arranged by someone from the other side, and pointed to the ground as he spoke.
That's right, it's those big shots from the underground base. Of course, I can't say too much about them at the company right now, so it's normal to use a metaphor.
Although he didn't know what Linton wanted him to do, did Takaoka Yūnori dare to refuse? Of course not, no matter what it was, he could only nod.
