âThatâs impossible!â
Shoko Nakajima stood up and explained,
âOnce heâs in a hypnotic state, everything he says will be true. Thereâs no way heâs lying.â
Kenji Takayama frowned slightly. âBut just now, I got someone to check the hotel. He searched every corner of the room, but he didnât find the black box. So there must be a mistake here. I need you to hypnotize him again. Youâre not allowed to make another mistake.â
âThatâs impossible.â Shoko Nakajima said.
âIf I want to hypnotize him again, I have to wake him up. I have to do it when heâs awake, but he wonât give me another chance, so 1 canât do a second hypnosis. I can only wait for another opportunity to do this.â
âWhen will he be leaving? Have you found out about this?â asked Kenji Takayama in a low voice.
âThe day after tomorrow.â
âAre you confident that you can gain his trust again within these two days and perform a second hypnosis?â
âNo.â Shoko Nakajima said with certainty.
âHe has the strongest willpower of anyone Iâve ever met. He wonât be swayed by beauty. He is not attracted to me. Unless a miracle happens, itâll be difficult to hypnotize him a second time.â
Kenji Takayamaâs expression changed. He was caught in a dilemma.
From the looks of it, it was impossible for Shoko Nakajima to enchant Lin Yi.
The chance of a second hypnosis was also very slim, so there were not many opportunities left for him. He could only use unconventional methods.
âYou can leave first. Iâll handle this matter.â
Shoko Nakajimaâs body trembled. She had already guessed what Kenji Takayama was going to do.
âMr. Takayama, can you give me another chance? There are still two days left. Perhaps 1 can do it.â
âI donât want to gamble on this, so you can go out for now. 1â11 handle this.â
âGot it, Mr. Takayama.â
Shoko Nakajima bowed and quietly walked out of the room.
However, the moment she closed the door, her gentle gaze landed on Lin Yi. Her eyes were complicated and conflicted.
She knew very well that after she left, the next time they met, they would be enemies.
After Shoko Nakajima left, Kenji Takayama said to his subordinates behind him.
âBring everyone over. Heâs very skilled. The three of us might be at a disadvantage here.â
âYes, Mr. Takayama!â
To be able to become Yushi Mitsuiâs bodyguard and driver, Kenji Takayama was more meticulous than most people.
He knew Lin Yiâs strength very well. Even Eliza was not his match, so he had to be more prepared.
However, after more than ten minutes, there was no movement outside at all. Takayama Kenji frowned with a hint of anger on his face.
âWhat the hell? Where did he go? Why havenât they come over after such a long time? Go out and check. Tell them to get a move on!â
âYes!â
The other subordinate bowed and replied, then turned around and walked out.
However, before he could open the door, he unexpectedly heard voices.
âDonât look for them. They wonât be coming over any time soon.â
In an instant, Kenji Takayama and his subordinates trembled.
There were only three people in this room.
Neither of them said anything!
Then the only possibility was Lin Yi!
Kenji Takayamaâs gaze landed on Lin Yi, his eyes filled with wariness and fear.
Slowly, Lin Yi sat up from the ground. He supported his head with one hand and looked at Kenji Takayama with a smile.
It was as if he was looking at a prey waiting to be slaughtered!
âHow is that possible? Youâve already been hypnotized. How could you wake up?â
Although he was full of questions, Kenji Takayama subconsciously stepped back.
He knew that he had lost control of the situation in front of him.
He didnât know what would happen next.
âHow can you be so sure I was hypnotized?â
âDonât tell me youâ¦?!â
Takayama Kenjiâs face was deathly pale, and he looked even uglier than a dead person.
âYou faked all this. You werenât hypnotized at all!â
âAs expected of someone who Yushi Mitsui chose. Youâre not stupid.â
âYou know who 1 am?â
âI found out a long time ago.â Lin Yi smiled.
âFrom the moment you entered the casino, 1 could all but confirm that you were about to make a move.â
He had learned about Yushi Mitsui and Kenji Takayamaâs identities from Caie Mitsui.
However, when he asked about this, Lin Yi didnât reveal anything about the ore.
He only said that he was asking these questions because he wanted to prevent Yushi Mitsui from trying to rope him in. He never thought that he was looking to gain anything.
âIn that case, thereâs nothing more to say.â
Kenji Takayama tried to calm himself down. He said,
âMr. Lin, we donât want to hurt you. We just want the Bass ore. 1 hope you can give it to me.â
Lin Yi shrugged. âSorry, Iâm not sure what youâre talking about.â
âMr. Lin, itâs already come to this. 1 hope you can be more honest. If 1 wasnât completely confident, I wouldnât have come here today.â
âThen your methods are very interesting.â Lin Yi smiled.
âLetâs not talk about the fact that that ore is not even in my hands. Even if it was, you shouldnât have tried to get it directly from me.â
âBut this thing doesnât belong to you to begin with. Weâre only taking back what belongs to us and not holding you responsible. This is a benefit we are extending you.â
âThen you can ask around and find out who this thing originally belonged to. Answer me once you find out the truth.â
âCould it be that Mr. Lin doesnât want to cooperate?â
Kenji Takayamaâs voice was very low as he looked at Lin Yi. â1 know that you have a lot of power in Huaxia, but this is Sunrise Land, not your country. If you insist on going against me, it wonât do you any good.â
âI donât even know what youâre talking about. How can I cooperate?â Lin Yi pointed at the three of them with a teasing expression.
âOr do you think you can hurt me with just these few people?â
â1 know that you have a good relationship with Caie Mitsui. Iâm sure you came forward to snatch this thing to help her.â
âBut what 1 want to say is that weâre all smart people. Weâre all gathered together for benefits. You donât have to take such a big risk because of her. Sheâs a vicious woman. Sheâs not worthy of your sacrifice.â
âIf youâre willing to work with us, weâll be allies from now on. Weâll bring you greater benefits than working with Caie Mitsui. I hope you can consider it carefully, Mr. Lin.â
âHehâ¦â
âAn alliance?â
Lin Yi sneered. âI donât even like the Mitsui family, so why would 1 like a rogue organization like yours? You think too highly of yourself.â
âIn that case, 1â11 have to apologize for troubling you.â
Kenji Takayama didnât insist. He bowed to Lin Yi and prepared to leave.
However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw three women appear outside!
They were Qiu Yuluo, Ning Che, and Jiang Qing!
