My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 74 - 063 Question

In Ji Minghuan’s perception, Su Zimai wasn’t a heartless or unkind child.

Since her mother’s death, her emotions were rarely cared for, so she gradually became somewhat insincere, preferring to put on a cold front in front of family—children whose emotions weren’t attended to in childhood often grow up to become indifferent and self-enclosed.

But in truth, she cared a lot about her brother, Gu Qiye.

If she found out that Gu Qiye was actually Blue Arc, she would certainly first sternly scold herself, and might even turn around and become what she had scolded, a "fanatical Blue Arc fan."

In both reality and online, if she saw someone insulting Blue Arc, she would immediately charge over and say, "My brother has to take care of two younger siblings and save the world, I won’t let you hate him, if you must hate him, you might as well kill me first, you fool."

Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan couldn’t help but laugh, actually, he was more curious about how this overly righteous sister of his would feel if she found out their father was a super villain?

Would she join her big brother in a righteous betrayal of family, or try to persuade their father to surrender at the dinner table?

"It’s him again, I’ve been seeing him quite often lately..." Ke Qirui muttered to herself, looking at the TV.

Ji Minghuan’s attention was drawn by her words, and he followed her gaze.

After the news about the Da Zhonghou incident, the host talked about the Green Wing incident. The protagonist was likewise Blue Arc, but now there was a strange figure on screen—a person hanging upside down below a billboard, resembling an insect cocoon.

Su Zimai glanced at the black cocoon on the TV, her eyelids twitching slightly, and said with disdain, "Ugh... I don’t even want to see this thing, its discussion is so high lately, how did it follow me all the way to Japan?"

Haha, you really can’t keep your mouth clean, "that thing" is right next to you waiting to freeload on food and drinks, thought Ji Minghuan as he gave Su Zimai a sidelong glance.

"By the way, it was my brother who said the bug guy’s style on TV looks good and has a high recall rate, Leader, what do you think?"

After saying that, Su Zimai gave Ji Minghuan a casual glance.

She looked somewhat expectant, as if waiting for her leader to join in bashing her good brother’s aesthetics, but unfortunately, the answer she heard was not what she expected.

"Hmm..." Ke Qirui stared at the trench coat man on TV and said thoughtfully, "I think his style has a certain imagery beauty, the restraint belt, the insect cocoon, it’s like a trapped person using this method to call for help from the outside world... the tailcoat, the books, the absurd and nonchalant language, it’s as if the trapped person is using these things to hide their true inner self."

She added nonchalantly, "These elements put together, are both fragmented and contradictory, yet give an eerie sense of beauty, like the kind of artwork you would see in an art exhibition, making people irresistibly curious about what kind of person lies beneath the mask."

"Cough... cough, cough..." Ji Minghuan choked on a sip of water, coughed twice, picked up a peanut with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, replying perfunctorily, "Quite tasteful."

He thought: Although the person beneath the mask is right next to you, don’t be curious.

However, he hadn’t thought that someone could, by chance, guess his situation. Maybe Ke Qirui had studied something like art psychology.

Su Zimai cupped her face with both hands and sighed deeply, "Ugh... your aesthetics are hopeless, how can you both praise a big flopping moth like this, is there any normal person around me?"

There truly wasn’t a normal person, Ji Minghuan thought to himself.

Ke Qirui took a sip of tea and said calmly, "If I could, I would really like to meet this ’Black Cocoon’."

She lowered her gaze, looking at the blurry face reflected on the surface of the tea, recalling what Xia Pingzhou had asked the Queen’s Statue to convey to her earlier at the Roppongi EX Theater:

——I won’t cooperate with you, but there is a black mummy... maybe that would consider working with you.

Ji Minghuan glanced sideways at Ke Qirui’s distracted expression and thought:

"Don’t worry, Black Cocoon will come to find you in a few days."

Su Zimai said expressionlessly, "Anyway, I don’t want to, I’m afraid I’ll pull out bug spray and spray him in the face, and this big flopping moth called Black something Cocoon talks so much, I’m afraid I’ll end up shooting him in the throat."

"Sister, could you be more violent?" Ji Minghuan shivered at his sister’s side.

He thought: But don’t worry, in a few days at the auction, we’ll have our chance to fight to the death.

Before long, the waiter brought the dishes. The spread was extravagant, as Su Zimai had ordered enough to fill the entire bar counter.

The pink fish meat of bluefin tuna belly glistened with oil, the edges of live arctic clam meat curled slightly, the surface of seared salmon was wrapped in a layer of caramel, at a glance there was sea urchin, French foie gras sushi...

Seeing this scene, Ji Minghuan finally understood what "feast of gluttony" meant, whether it was a feast or not he wasn’t sure, he only knew he was about to become a "glutton."

He picked up a gunkan sushi, fish roe orange-red dotted on white rice, each one bursting with juice, and ate it absentmindedly.

He had thought Ke Qirui was wealthy, but he hadn’t expected her to be this wealthy: this meal alone would cost at least a million yen, roughly fifty thousand yuan. Not to mention the waiter continued to bring out dishes without stopping.

Before the meal, Ji Minghuan had been resolute and ambitious: later he would eat as much sushi as he could, hoping to bankrupt Su Zimai and her wealthy club leader.

But now, whether or not he could bankrupt others he didn’t know, but Ji Minghuan’s pride was about to go bankrupt.

How does a little orphan from the Welfare Institute like me deserve such treatment, why is there such a disparity between people, maybe this world should just be destroyed soon, he thought.

"Sister, are you trying to bankrupt your teacher with all this?" Ji Minghuan asked Su Zimai blankly while munching on sushi.

"Haha, my teacher has plenty of money." Su Zimai replied proudly, as if it was her own money.

"So, what kind of teacher is she to you?" Ji Minghuan asked curiously.

"None of your business."

"Is she teaching you how to attract girls?"

"Get lost."

Hearing the pair’s conversation, Ke Qirui raised her clear eyes a little.

She turned to look at Ji Minghuan and interjected unhurriedly, "I must clarify, though I may look like a lesbian, my sexual orientation is normal."

Saying that, she curled her lips and teased earnestly, "So... if your sister really likes girls, it certainly wouldn’t be my fault."

"Leader, you get lost too." Su Zimai said with chopsticks in her mouth, her tone dropped.

"Then who will pay for our Maimai?"

"Pay first, then get lost." Su Zimai succumbed to the power of money.

Whether Ke Qirui would get lost was unknown, but after overeating, Ji Minghuan got lost himself, having exhausted himself after a long day. Operating two bodies simultaneously was a mental burden not anyone could bear, and even he felt the fatigue.

After saying a word to the two, he left the sushi shop, turned on his phone’s GPS, and headed towards the hotel Gu Qiye had booked.

Seeing Ji Minghuan leave, Ke Qirui took out her phone from her trench coat pocket, looked at a text message, and said, "By the way, I just received a notification from the association, they said Blue Arc has arrived in Japan."

Su Zimai asked nonchalantly, "Oh, so when are we meeting them?"

"In a few days." Ke Qirui paused, "Come to think of it... don’t you find it quite a coincidence?"

Su Zimai tilted her head, "What do you mean?"

Ke Qirui was silent for a while, "Your brother just happened to arrive in Japan tonight, and right after, the association notified me that Blue Arc arrived in Tokyo, the coincidence is just a bit too much."

Su Zimai was taken aback, pondered with chopsticks in her mouth for a while, and then asked:

"Leader, you’re not saying that my second brother is... Blue Arc, are you?"

Saying this, she couldn’t help but laugh, as if hearing an enormous joke.

But Ke Qirui didn’t laugh, instead she turned her head, looked at her calmly, and slowly nodded.

The smile gradually disappeared from Su Zimai’s face, and the whole world seemed to fall silent.
