9.34% Her Wicked CEO: How To Seduce A Hikikomori Wife? / Chapter 29: You spoke to me

Chương 29: You spoke to me

Kiyohira looks around doubtfully. He can't see or hear anyone else other than them. The walls are dusty and full of cobwebs. Once or twice, he has heard of mice. Haru and Iori are showing a brave front, but they are ready to scream and run for the hills at any second. Only Takeshi and Rie are unfazed by this place.

This tiny woman isn't afraid of walking into abandoned dark places like this. Then, this place reminds him of her home. She must be used to it.

"Hm." She stops in front of a metal door and stares at it thoughtfully. She squats down on her one knee and takes off a sticker from the right bottom corner. "Why do they go this far to hide it? It's not like anyone can go through this door."

Haru and Iori nearly jump when the metal door slides away. Haru yells, "That surprised me."

"It's just a door," Takeshi shakes his head at them.

The lights turn on as soon as Rie walks into the room. There is a laptop on the table in the middle of the room. Rie lets out a tired sigh and sits on the chair. She turns on the laptop and furiously types something.

"What is going on?" Kiyohira touches her shoulder. "What is this place?"

She doesn't answer him. Kiyohira feels like throttling her. Is it time to play these tricks? He is only asking some questions.

"Kids, the next door won't open unless I hack the system," She replies monotonously. "They like to make it difficult for latecomers."

"You are also a hacker?" Kiyohira stands behind her laptop to take a good look of her face. Sadly, he can only see her focused eyes. No luxury to like. No luxury to talk.

Takeshi can nearly see smoke coming out of his brother's ear. His brother leans closer to his sister's ear and shouts with undisguised childish anger in his voice, "If you don't want to talk to me, just say it."

She glances at him with her cold eyes and taps enter on the keyboard. A string of neon green codes floats on the black screen of the laptop. She looks past him. Behind him, the wall suddenly slides away, revealing an entranceway to the main room.

Takeshi looks at his brother with pity. He can see that the poor guy is dying to make her utter a word to him, but his sister is hard to please. His brother is good at many things, but he doesn't know how to make a woman happy. His sister is not easy to please either.

Takeshi has known it the day when they came to the house. His brother has been acting different toward her. In his brother's eyes, men and women are the same. But, his brother has treated her differently. He has noticed how his brother looks at her.

Then, he has seen them leave together last night in the car. He doesn't know how his sister got sick, but his brother even spent the night at the hospital for her. The feared CEO of the Kamiyama Groups, who treats women like a block of wood, suddenly decides to spend the night at the hospital with dried vomit on his clothes.

Grandmother won't be happy when she finds out.

Which side should he take? Should he help his dumb brother with his cool sister or not? He must be the first younger brother who is helping out his elder brother with his elder sister. This doesn't sound okay, but it isn't necessarily bad.

Currently, his brother is fuming with rage because his sister is treating him like air. In any case, his brother is a hopeless case. He should only worry about how to win over his sister to his side. Besides, he gave some advice to his brother earlier, but his brother lacks a great deal of common sense in this area. It's a long journey for his brother. What can he do about someone who doesn't have common sense in some areas?

"Welcome to the world hack 2019, Merciless Breaker." A tall slim woman in a black dress with cold demeanour meets them halfway. She smiles at them professionally. "We don't get participants this late."

Rie shows them her phone, showing the invitation email for that woman to read. "Which phase?"

"We are in the middle phase." The woman glances at Rie's masked companions. "Do you recommend them?"

"No, I brought them here to watch," Rie tells her curtly. "Prepare rooms for them. They will be staying here until the tournament is over."

"I see." Something flickers in the woman's eyes. Things will spice up since this legend has made an appearance. This game master has always hidden her identity. This time, there might be a way to know.

"Merciless Breaker, are you going to join now or later?"

"I will join it now." Rie smiles beneath her mask. Her eyes shine brightly. "It's been a while since I had some fun."

"As you wish."

***

Nothing much has changed since last year. I see a lot of familiar faces. Some of them nod when they see me. There are around twenty people with similar clothes and masks. It's nothing new. A lot of people like to pretend that they are me until the gaming I'Ds are revealed. I started gaming a long time ago. I got my first invitation for the world hack series when I was nineteen. They don't invite people who aren't eighteen yet. This yearly competition isn't a legal one. Identity security is important. Nothing is promised outside the vicinity though.

This place is also a testing ground for top game designing companies of the world. They can't directly come here, but they send their representatives with their games. The organizer is none other than the 'Dark Hacker Guild'. Anyway, they are not my concern.

"They are offering a lot this time," I mumble to myself when I see the prize money on the large screen. "They offered only one-fourth of that last year."

"Participant, this prize money is not for the competition. The organizers have added one special round," This lady, who is probably the representative of the dark hackers, says to me with a faint smile. "If you win the gaming rounds, you will get half of the prize money. However, If you win the special round, you will get this full prize. If you lose, you will only get one-fourth of the prize money like last time."

"What's the special round?" Haru asks before I can utter my question.

Her eyes twinkle mysteriously. I get it. She is excited to get me interested. I am guessing that not many people have signed up for the special round.

"The special round is the test of hacking skills. The top three winners will receive the chance to join the dark hacker guild."

"What if I don't want to join?" I glance down at the players who are focused on the gaming laptops screens with earphones on. "I just want the money."

"That's alright." She cocks her head and looks at me solemnly. "The dark hacker guild doesn't force anyone. If you are the top three, then you can accept or reject. Do you want to participate in the special round?"

I hide my true feelings and give her a quiet nod. My heart is full of excitement. If I get this prize money, I don't have to work for the next five years even if I spend with my eyes closed. I will buy a house on the other side of this country. All I need is a good internet connection and a house to live in. I can go back to my life in a new place. With this kind of money, I don't have to earn for a few years.

That would be heaven.

"That's not a lot." I hear Kiyohira's casual voice behind me. "I earn that much in an hour."

"...." Rich people should keep their mouth shut.

"Then, I have lost some bucks because I was taking care of you since last night." He sighs. "I even brought you here to play. You are paying me back by ignoring me. That's your gratitude, huh?"

"I didn't ask you to take care of me." I furrow my brows. "I didn't ask you to take me to the hospital or to that place. I didn't ask you to bring me here. Keep your mouth shut or I will kill you."

He blinks at me with surprise. After a moment, his eyes shine with happiness. I look at him with disbelief. What's wrong with his head? Why is he happy now?

"I won," He replies to me with amusement in his voice. "You spoke to me."

"..." This man is impossible.


Chương 30: She is happy

Kiyohira and Rie are walking together ahead of Takeshi and his friends. The beautiful woman in black is having trouble keeping a poker face because of their banter. This player must be in a relationship with this man. It means that Merciless Breaker is gay. Her charms won't work on this player. In any case, she will do everything to find this player's identity.

"Don't you think that there is something between them?" Haru whispers.

"They argue a lot?" Iori raises her brow.

"So, you have noticed it too." Takeshi eyes him. His voice is low enough that only they can hear it. "My idiot brother is interested in my sister, but he doesn't know it yet. My sister doesn't have any idea either. It's better if you two keep your mouth shut from now on. If you speak one word about it to anyone especially them, that will be your -" He moves his index finger across his throat. Haru gulps down his saliva.

"What about me?" Iori looks at him with round eyes. "I like your brother."

"Give up." It's no secret that Iori has a crush on his brother since she was thirteen. But, they have barely spoken any word. Takeshi knows that his brother will never have any of those intentions toward her. He didn't say anything to her because it is amusing to watch her nervous around his brother.

"I can't just give up." She pouts at him. "He is my first love."

"My brother only sees her." He points at his sister.

"Takeshi, don't be cruel." Haru pats Iori's head. "Our Iori will start crying at this rate."

"I won't cry." Iori also knows that she has no chance with Takeshi's brother. She has a crush on him because of his looks, but Kamiyama Kiyohira is like a star that's too holy to touch.

When he was young, he was a child genius. He graduated from college at the age of fifteen. After that, he went to pursue a master degree abroad. He has been indirectly involved in his father's business since he graduated from college, but his father was adamant that he should gain worldly knowledge before he would give over the reins. He made Kiyohira work his way up to the top from the bottom. When Kamiyama Shintaro was satisfied with his performance, he gave his company away to his son.

"I am not upset." Iori shrugs. "But, who are you to tell me to give up? I will give up when I want."

"Your choice." He rolls his eyes. "My brother hates clingy women."

"I am not clinging." She slaps his arm. "I am just watching him from afar. He is so pleasing to see."

"This is so gross to hear," Takeshi says to Haru. "There are nearly 8 billion people in this world. She has a crush on my elder brother. I have to hear her nonsense every day."

"What about you?" She crosses her arms. "You have rejected all the girls of our school. Because of you, I have to hear their complains. Some of them even bully me because they think that you have a one-sided crush on me. Tell me, when will you get a girlfriend? I want to spend the rest of my last year in high school in peace."

"If you are so bothered, be my girlfriend then." Takeshi clicks his tongue. "I doubt that anyone will bully you when you are my girlfriend."

"I would rather die." Iori spats the word out. "You are my biggest bully."

"You two!" Haru rubs his forehead. "Stop arguing. It's only a year. Then, we will go to college. Nobody will bother you in college, Iori."

"But, high school is high school." Iori sighs.

"You can't go further." The lady in black stops them when they try to climb downstairs. Beside her, his brother is standing with a deep frown. Takeshi looks down at the participants' area. His sister has taken a seat.

"Only participants can go." She gives them a smile. "I have made the arrangements for your stay. If you are tired, find me. My ID is R1K9."

She walks away from them after telling them where to find her. There is only tapping sounds in the air. Iori is already bored. Haru grips on the railings and watches them all with enthusiasm.

"It would be awesome if we could also play."

"We won't survive a minute in the game."

In the next ten minutes, she has already wiped out half of the players. Kiyohira notices that she has fire in her eyes. Her fingers are fast and meticulous. A lot of players gave up the moment they saw Merciless_Breaker's appearance. Her ID jumps up in ranks. Some players picked up the laptop and threw it on the ground. They looked around for Merciless_Player with hate in their eyes. But, there is more than one person with the same get up.

"That's why she keeps it a secret," Kiyohira mumbles to himself. "There are people who have a grudge on her."

Rie isn't paying attention. She chuckles lowly and narrows her eyes when she sees the letters H47E on the screen. So, he is here again. She smiles cruelly under her mask.

"She is happy." He smiles unknowingly when he sees her like that. "If she likes it that much, I will start a game company."

***

I accept the message request.

H47E: I didn't expect to see you this time.

MerciLess_B: You are here again to get your ass beaten by me.

H47E: Geez, go easy on me. You told me that you weren't planning to come this year. I had high hopes. I wanted that prize.

Merciless_B: Money.

H47U: Don't provoke the wrong people.

Merciless_B: I only like to provoke those who provoke me.

H47E: Fine. You can at least pretend that you are having trouble with the game.

Merciless_B: Then, I have to stay here longer.

H47E: It's not a bad place. I have some good games.

Merciless_B: Not interested.

H47E: Fine, is it true that you are gay? You have brought your boyfriend with you here?

Merciless_B: Who?

H47E: That's the rumour on the server. The guy up there is watching you with such passion. Love is strong.

I look up and see Kamiyama watching me like a hawk. Thanks to him, I am a gay man now. I don't have any problem, but why he is my boyfriend of all the people in the world?

H47E: His build is good. I like his eyes. Can you lend him to me for a night?

Merciless_B: Bye, loser.

On the screen, H47E turns red and disappears. It took me nearly 5 minutes to wipe her from the game. She has been leading in the game since phase 1. I have gained huge points after defeating her. The middle phase is over.

Only ten players are left for the final phase.
