Chapter 75
Liuli River?
After handing the Mysterious Mask to Suzuki Tomoko, Hinata Gen explained its functions in detail.
Suzuki Tomoko was shocked to hear this. Hyuga Gen actually had such a magical item. Wouldn't she be safe from being exposed now?
"No, why am I thinking this? I clearly decided to sever this relationship with Gen."
Thinking this, Tomoko Suzuki's eyes hardened, and she spoke earnestly to Gen Hyuga:
"Yuan, this relationship can't continue, okay? Listen to me."
After hearing this, Hyuga Gen shook his head, pressed his forehead against Suzuki Tomoko's forehead, and said earnestly:
"You know I don't like Sonoko, I only like you. I can't forget what happened the night before last."
Thinking of her shameful behavior the night before last, and feeling the heavy breathing coming from Hyuga Gen, Suzuki Tomoko couldn't help but waver.
"But, but Ayaka, Tenyo, and I are best friends, and I'm already 43 years old..."
Thinking about what Shiro Suzuki had just said about getting old, Tomoko Suzuki couldn't help but feel a little sad. Yes, she was already 43 years old, how could she still be thinking about such trivial things?
"What do you mean 43 years old? You look like you're only in your twenties. All I care about is you, and you like me too, don't you?"
Hearing Hinata Gen say that she looked young, Suzuki Tomoko suddenly felt a sweet feeling in her heart. What woman wouldn't like a man to compliment her on looking young?
Even so, Tomoko Suzuki said with some difficulty:
"But that kind of liking isn't this kind of liking, and, moreover..."
"If you like someone, you like them. What else could you possibly like? You didn't reject me that night, and I could tell you were enjoying it."
"And when I met you, you were alone..."
"Yuan, please stop talking, okay?"
Thinking about how Hyuga Gen had seen what she did by the bathhouse that night, Suzuki Tomoko's eyes lost their resolve.
Seeing this, Hyuga Gen knew the time was almost right and quickly urged:
"Tomoko, you should put this on. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if someone sees us like this. Look, there are guests coming over there."
Suzuki Tomoko looked up and saw that several figures were indeed coming from where they had just come from. With Hinata Gen's help, she quickly put on the mask.
Strangely enough, the moment Suzuki Tomoko put on the mask, she transformed into a blonde with blue eyes, and her clothes also changed.
At the same time, his height increased slightly by five or six centimeters, but there were no changes anywhere else.
Even Suzuki Tomoko's closest people wouldn't recognize her now.
After putting on the mask, Suzuki Tomoko's nervousness vanished instantly, and she also implicitly acknowledged her relationship with Hinata Gen in their previous conversation.
So Suzuki Tomoko did not resist for the rest of the journey and was very cooperative.
Rinko Akiyama, standing nearby, looked speechless. Does this guy never stop causing trouble wherever he goes?
Lina opened her mouth wide, wanting to say something but not daring to speak.
The closer you get to the auction's entrance, the more waiters and guards there are, presumably arranged by the organizers to protect the guests' safety.
Judging from their imposing presence, it's no wonder that Suzuki Tomoko and Suzuki Shiro didn't bring anyone with them.
Standing at the door was a large, fat man with gold teeth. He was startled when he saw Hyuga Gen, but then immediately came forward respectfully.
"Isn't this the young master Hyuga Gen of the Hyuga Group? It's such an honor for us to have you here, young master Hyuga. Please come in, please come in."
After saying that, he immediately led Hyuga Gen into the auction hall, and his respectful attitude pleased Hyuga Gen very much.
However, one downside is that it lacks the kind of pretentious face-slapping plot found in brainless novels.
The main character in that story would be insulted and looked down upon by the people in any high-class place he entered.
Then, in the end, they revealed their true identities and delivered a slap in the face. I wonder if those villains were just bored.
But when it was her turn, she didn't encounter any difficulties no matter where she went, except for the guard on the Elizabeth who didn't recognize her.
Is it because my face is too distinctive that I can't trigger this kind of plot?
Moreover, there's a saying that goes, "When you're rich and powerful, you'll only encounter good people."
When you have no money or power, you'll mostly encounter bad people.
Thinking of this, Hyuga Gen shook his head slightly, realizing that there were fewer exciting moments left.
Soon, Hyuga Gen was taken by the fat man to the VIP room that had been reserved for the Hyuga Foundation.
Upon entering, the VIP room was found to be luxuriously decorated, spacious, and with an excellent view, offering a clear view of the auction stage and other areas.
There were even several women dressed as maids waiting inside.
After chasing the others away, Hyuga Gen said to Suzuki Tomoko:
"Let's take off our masks first; Uncle Suzuki and the others probably won't be able to get up for a while."
Seeing that more and more people were gathering in the hall, Tomoko Suzuki remembered that Shiro Suzuki hadn't come in yet, and said with some concern:
"Yuan, why don't you let me go back to our Suzuki Group's VIP room? It would be terrible if he couldn't find me."
After hearing this, Hyuga Gen waved his hand.
"It's alright, Tomoko. I've already informed the butler to bring Suzuki to our Hyuga family. We can just make up an excuse and get away with it."
Suzuki Tomoko was still a little worried, but seeing Hinata Gen's certainty, she didn't say anything more.
Time passed by, and the hall soon filled with people. The auctioneer then began his opening remarks on the auction stage.
The first item up for auction was a very thin-looking old woman named Wanmiao. In the end, this old woman was bought by a black man for one million yen because of her previous special status.
Hyuga Gen wasn't interested in any of that; he was focused solely on dealing with Suzuki Tomoko.
"Yuan, stop! There are other people around."
"hiss"
Just then, an iron cage covered with a black cloth was suddenly pushed onto the auction stage, followed by the auctioneer's passionate shouts.
"Now, please welcome our fifth lot, the Rurikawa Tsubaki, from the prestigious Rurikawa family of Japan!!!!"
"What? It's actually Miss Chun, the young mistress of the prestigious Liulichuan family?"
"How is this possible? Why is Miss Tsubaki being auctioned off here?!"
