"What are you grinning about? Your boss has left with his men." Su Qi couldn't help but complain when she saw Tang En smirking after ordering.
Don shook his head: "You don't understand. It's better that you took the people away, so that I'll have a chance."
Su Qi pursed her lips, took the sandwich handed to her by the kitchen, and turned around to deliver the food. But when she turned around, she was surprised to find that the place where the customer had been sitting was empty.
The customer skipped out on the bill?!
This was Su Qi's first reaction. She then realized that the other party had already paid for the food and the food hadn't even been served yet. How could they possibly skip out on the bill?
However, after searching for a long time, Su Qi was certain that the guest had already left, which made Su Qi, who originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask the other party what happened, very frustrated.
Night, pitch black.
A figure darted swiftly through the forest beside the path. Suddenly, the figure stopped. Under the moonlight, Bill Compton looked up at the tree branches obscured by the moonlight and foliage.
"Quick reaction, huh?" A mocking voice suddenly rang out, and in the darkness, a figure gradually emerged from the tree branch.
She wore a black robe with a high collar embroidered with several red clouds, a gray headscarf, and a headband with a slash down the middle, completely obscuring her face except for her eyes.
Bill Compton was unfamiliar with his appearance, but Naruto fans would recognize him at a glance.
Akatsuki – Kakuzu!
Of course, there is no Akatsuki organization in this world, let alone Kakuzu, but if Su says there is, then there is.
It's obvious that this Akatsuki member is actually a shadow clone of Su Shi in disguise!
Chapter 112 This grandpa is only interested in anything that makes money!
Sue told Lisa Trinity that she suddenly realized, "So I really am quite charming," but that was only one of the things she realized at the time. What she really realized was that only children make choices; adults want it all!
Why choose between someone who's interested and something that's interesting? He could simply spend time with the person he's interested in himself, while his shadow clone does what he's interested in.
After all, all I need to know is an answer; a shadow clone is enough.
Of course, Su Shi also has principles and respects people, so even if he is too busy to be in two places at once and might need to learn time management, he still wouldn't do something like sending his shadow clones to accompany Caroline or Olivia.
Making friends requires hands-on involvement!
As for why the shadow clone that stopped Bill Compton was Kakuzu of the Akatsuki organization, one reason was to increase the presence of the Naruto system in this world. After all, it would take forever for supernatural beings to know about chakra ninjas on his own and Olivia's own.
On the other hand, having several alternate accounts makes it easier to do things that the main account can't. And who knows, once the main account is fully developed, there might be some unexpected gains.
The only drawback is that although the Shadow Clone Technique can be used on anyone, it currently has too few ninjutsu skills. It doesn't know many people's signature ninjutsu, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of the Shadow Clone Technique.
With a "whoosh," Kakuzu's shadow clone leaped down, and before he even landed, the senbon soaked in verbena in his hand had already shot towards Bill Compton.
"Swoosh!" The senbon arrow struck Bill Compton's heart with perfect accuracy. Completely caught off guard, Bill Compton felt a sharp pain in his heart, followed by a strange sense of weakness. Weak and dizzy, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"That's it?"
Kakuzu's shadow clone sneered as he watched Bill Compton struggle to his feet, "Tell me, why are you following my employer?"
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t know you, nor do I know this employer you’re talking about,” Bill Compton explained weakly.
Kakuzu's shadow clone raised his hand and formed a hand seal, immediately unleashing the Illusionary Technique: Naraku's Sight.
This illusion is really useful.
You ask why Kakuzu's shadow clones need to use hand seals? He's Kakuzu now, not Hashirama Senju, so why shouldn't he use hand seals?
The essence of Cospree is believing that you are that person!
Bill Compton's weak expression suddenly changed, his pupils widened instantly, revealing an expression of disbelief and terror. Then his body began to tremble uncontrollably as if he had been electrocuted. He seemed to want to make a sound, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he could only let out silent screams of "Ahhhhh!"
This illusion technique is truly amazing at messing with people's minds.
A few minutes later, Bill Compton instinctively gasped for breath, and the illusion ended.
No problem, we'll add more, and we'll make sure you enjoy it to your heart's content!

Su's chakra is now plentiful. As long as there is no intense battle and no one hits him, Kakuzu's shadow clone's chakra can keep Bill Compton entertained for a whole day, if—Bill Compton doesn't break down.
Bill Compton proved to be less resilient, collapsing after just over an hour, much like the demon lady Margot before him, taking advantage of the gaps in his ninjutsu release to beg for mercy.
I confessed, I confessed everything.
I was ordered to investigate the Su family's identity and wealth. If his identity is not in question, then hypnotize him to hand over all his wealth.
Although these are not Bill Compton's exact words, this is the general idea after sorting them out. After all, Bill Compton was too excited and rambled on a bit. Some repetitive and meaningless words can be ignored.
"Is this your only purpose for coming here?" Kakuzu's shadow clone asked again.
Bill Compton hesitated, then lowered his head and said, "Yes, yes."
"That had better be so. Stay away from my employers from now on. This is my business. If you dare to ruin my business, I'll kill you!" Kakuzu's shadow clone warned coldly.
"Business? You...who are you?" Bill Compton had been beaten up without knowing why. Although he didn't dare to have any thoughts of revenge for the time being, he still had to find out the other party's identity to report to the Queen.
"Akatsuki organization - Chakra ninja, Kakuzu!" Kakuzu's shadow clone said very seriously, "Whether it's assassination or cleanup, protection or rescue, or even delivering messages or transporting valuables, I'll take it all. So far, my success rate is one hundred percent."
"So you're a mercenary?"
"No, I'm just interested in anything that makes money." Kakuzu's shadow clone waved his hand impatiently: "You can get lost now. Don't let me see you again unless you bring me money."
Bill Compton struggled to his feet, staggered away, and turned to leave.
Although the senbon was soaked in verbena juice, its effects were definitely not as long-lasting as verbena. Not long after Bill Compton left, he felt his strength gradually recovering. After forcing out the senbon, he held it thoughtfully.
This thing itself is quite ordinary; it must have been soaked in something to suppress its power. In other words, this chakra ninja named Kakuzu possesses something that can restrain vampires.
Furthermore, it is unclear whether the identity of one of the targets is unusual, but the fact that he was able to hire Kakuzu indicates that he has some knowledge of certain special beings and is very likely aware of the existence of vampires.
Bill Compton, who died before achieving his goal, hesitated for a long time and decided not to inform the Queen for the time being. He would wait until his other missions had made some progress before reporting the matter, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
"call out--"
Bill Compton sped up and quickly entered an uninhabited villa in the town.
As Bill Compton turned to close the door, he suddenly saw a pure white feather drift down from the doorway.
Startled, Bill Compton leaned back and fell backward.
"boom!"
Bill Compton, who was lying on the ground in a starfish position, immediately fell into a deep sleep.
Kakuzu's shadow clone instantly appeared, bent down and retrieved Bill Compton's phone, noting down the only caller ID number he probably hadn't had time to delete. He then muttered regretfully that he should have had his main body place the red fishing rod in the alternate dimension so he could have fished out Bill Compton's chakra energy.
Shadow clones can use all the original body's ninjutsu, but they don't have a system, so they can't use anything stored in the system's inventory. The previous senbon was left in another dimension by the original body. Otherwise, even if it's a regular senbon in the system, the shadow clones can't use it without prior preparation.
Kakuzu's shadow clone left the Flying Thunder God mark on Bill Compton and the house, then closed the door behind him and silently sat on the sofa, calculating the duration of Bill Compton's unconsciousness.
Chapter 113: Private Lawyer is Now Online!
In the early morning, as the golden sunlight streamed down, Su Shi slowly descended the stairs. Looking at the figure in her shirt in the kitchen, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Lisa Trinity, who was in the kitchen, turned around when she heard the voice and smiled at Su: "Good morning."
"morning."
Su walked over and glanced at it: "Coffee?"
"Want to drink?"
"Okay."
Lisa Trinity poured coffee for Su and said with a light laugh, "There are only a few clothes in the walk-in closet that have been changed out of, and most of them are brand new clothes that haven't been worn yet. The refrigerator is almost empty. Although the house has been cleaned, it doesn't feel very homey. You really haven't been here long."
Su shrugged and took the coffee: "What would you like to eat? I'll have someone bring it over."
"Click."
The door opened suddenly, and Lisa Trinity was about to ask if there was anyone else in the house when she saw Don peek in, looking at the two people in the kitchen with an embarrassed expression.
Good morning!
Don held up the bag in his hand: "I'm here to deliver breakfast. No, nothing else you need me to do. I'll be going now."
Sue beckoned her over to check if breakfast was suitable for Lisa Trinity. Lisa Trinity was clearly not used to being served food and quickly nodded.
"Please tidy up the room upstairs and change the sheets," Su instructed Tang En casually. Then she invited Lisa Trinity to have breakfast first and started talking about her property and income statistics and tax filing.
The Su family doesn't actually own many properties: one in Danvers, Colorado; two in Brooklyn, New York; one in Mysterious Falls, Virginia; one in Amherst (the one Pearl and Anna currently live in); and the one they own now in Good Town, Louisiana.
During this time, Su went upstairs, pretending to get the property certificate and other related documents, but actually took them out from a suitcase in another dimension that was specially used to store these things.
“Besides real estate, I own a restaurant in Brooklyn and a bar in Medford, Wisconsin. Last night, I only invested in that bar; I didn’t expect any dividends.”
These are the assets that the Su family has on the surface. As for the car he bought casually, he didn't even bother to calculate it.
After finishing the calculations, Lisa Trinity frowned slightly: "Real estate is a fixed asset, even an expense asset. The profits from the restaurant and bar don't seem to match your expenses. Do you have any other sources of income?"
Although Lisa Trinity had only known Mr. Su for less than a day, she could tell his spending habits and level from the furnishings of his home and the clothes in his walk-in closet; restaurants and bars alone were definitely not enough.
Su admitted frankly, "Yes, but I can't say."
Lisa Trinity frowned: "The gray industry?"
"You can understand it that way."
As he upgrades, the system's rewards become higher and higher, but his own expenses will inevitably increase as well. Not having a visible source of income is indeed a problem, which is one of the reasons why he wants to develop true blood.
They researched and developed the blood, invested in building factories, produced and sold their own products, but still couldn't control their own income.
Lisa Trinity nodded: "There's not much of a problem right now. I'll calculate the accurate figures as soon as possible, but you'll need a legitimate business to support your income."
Lisa Trinity's attitude did not change because the Su family had gray businesses. In fact, most wealthy people in this country run gray businesses, and as long as they pay their taxes on time, there are no legal problems.
“Now it’s time to talk about my fee.” Lisa Trinity relaxed and naturally began to discuss with Mr. Su how much she should charge and why.
This can be considered a local characteristic: economic independence.
In a country where you have to split the bill when you ask a girl out for a meal, you'll naturally have to pay for her work. Of course, if you have a good relationship and deep feelings for each other, that's a different story.
