'Master!'
'A true master!'
This was the first time Nagasaki Asuna had seen such a scene.
If it were just ordinary light, perhaps it could be explained with props or tricks, but the warm feeling on her body couldn't possibly be faked.
At first, seeing Kaito so young, although she was amazed by his appearance, she still had some doubts in her heart.
'Such a handsome and beautiful young man, shouldn't he be in the entertainment industry as an idol or something? Why would he come to be a Taoist priest? Is he really reliable?'
But now she no longer thought that way. Instead, her heart was burning with enthusiasm, and even her posture became much more humble.
Kaito noticed the change in Ms. Nagasaki's attitude but didn't mind.
He just furrowed his brows and looked toward Nakamura Shinna not far away, whose gaze was full of resentment. It was rather strange.
Although the other party was just a small ghost he could easily eliminate, the resentment was way too intense, and it was growing with each passing moment.
If it weren't for Nakamura Shinna's current inability to interfere with reality, Nagasaki Asuna would have already been taken by the vengeful spirit.
Thinking for a moment, he simply asked, "Ms. Nagasaki, do you have any other grievances or grudges with the deceased?"
Nagasaki Asuna was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't understand what the master meant, she still answered honestly, "There was no conflict between Nakamura and me, nor was there any reason for enmity."
She was considered a pretty good boss. Although the company often required overtime, the overtime pay was never delayed. If employees ran into trouble and wanted to take leave or ask for an advance, she wouldn't make things difficult on purpose.
Who would have thought that after hearing these words, Nakamura Shinna in the corner became even angrier. The gloomy energy around her surged, and thick blood light even emerged from her pale pupils.
As if she would transform into a fierce ghost in the next second.
Nagasaki Asuna was completely unaware of this change. Thinking a bit, she suddenly added, "However, some time ago Nakamura did ask me for an advance on a year's salary. Considering that she had already received an advance for three months previously, and that there was no hardship at home, I refused her."
"This… shouldn't really count as a grudge, right?", Thinking of the look Nakamura gave her at that time, she wasn't so sure anymore.
But Kaito shook his head, "Whether it is or not, we'll know by asking."
He didn't speak further. With a thought, his divine sense sealed off the entire office floor, and Nakamura Shinna's soul was temporarily revealed in the real world.
Nagasaki Asuna was startled by the sudden appearance of the female ghost, and Sakiko next to her was also nervous, hiding behind Kaito.
"You can see me! You can see me!", Nakamura Shinna went crazy, trying to pounce and kill, but it felt like a giant mountain was pressing down on her. No matter how she struggled, she couldn't move an inch forward.
At first, Nagasaki Asuna was a bit afraid, but when she realized the other party couldn't hurt her, she quickly calmed down, though she was still confused.
"Nakamura, I believe I've treated you decently. Your death had nothing to do with the company either. What exactly are you so dissatisfied with, that you won't even let me go after dying?"
Hearing this, Nakamura Shinna's eyes filled with more resentment and madness, "It's all you! It's all because you wouldn't give me the advance! That's why Hiroto broke up with me!"
"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
Nagasaki Asuna froze for a moment and then laughed out of anger.
She had heard gossip from subordinates about Nakamura Shinna's relationship. Apparently, she was dating a good-looking boyfriend who was a big spender and always asked her for money.
Nakamura had no choice. After draining all her savings, she came to ask for an advance from Asuna. Once wasn't enough, she came a second time, and this time she even wanted a whole year's salary in advance.
After understanding the situation, Nagasaki Asuna firmly refused.
Who would've thought that just because of this, the other party would hate her so much, even after jumping off a building, still unwilling to let her go.
Sakiko also couldn't understand.
'This Ms. Nakamura, is there something wrong with her brain?'
'It is the boyfriend who broke up with her. Even if she wants to hate someone, shouldn't she hate him? Why hate the boss instead?'
"It's all your fault! All your fault!", Nakamura Shinna was still shouting, "If you had given me the money, I could've bought the mountain bike Hiroto liked for a long time! Then he wouldn't have broken up with me!"
"It's all your fault! I'm going to kill you!"
'Sounds logical, huh… like hell it does!'
'Damn idiot!'
Even with Nagasaki Asuna's good temperament, she couldn't help but curse in her heart.
She took a deep breath, stopped paying attention to that brain-dead fool, and looked sincerely at Kaito:
"Master, please take care of it."
Kaito didn't refuse.
Though he made money by exorcising spirits, he wasn't someone who only cared about money.
If it were a case of injustice or wrongful death, then the commission's content would naturally need to change.
Doing justice on behalf of Heaven was one thing, but if a ghost had died with injustice and he blindly suppressed it without reason, that wouldn't bring merit. In fact, he'd probably gain karma instead.
But Nakamura Shinna's situation clearly wasn't one of those.
She was just a bizarre case, whose only value was to make people sigh at the diversity of species.
He raised his hand slightly, and lightning flashed.
As a top-tier genius with both lightning and fire dual spiritual roots, Kaito specialized in both of these spells.
And because his swordsmanship cultivation was also impressive, when he first entered the cultivation world, he once made a name for himself with the title "True Lord of Thunder and Fire Sword."
It's just that his cultivation level later grew so high that the "True Lord" title could no longer keep up with his status, so no one used it anymore.
Nakamura Shinna's power wasn't strong. Among the evil spirits Kaito had encountered so far, she was among the weakest and couldn't resist at all.
With a miserable scream, her soul turned to ash.
After seeing Nakamura Shinna's soul scatter with her own eyes, Ms. Nagasaki visibly let out a breath of relief.
Because of this damn matter, she hadn't slept well for three straight days. If it had gone on any longer, she might've just died suddenly.
Such a life-saving grace couldn't go unthanked, only money could do.
Ms. Nagasaki was very efficient. She arranged the transfer immediately, and within minutes, Kaito received a deposit notification on his phone.
Only…the amount wasn't the promised twenty million, but thirty million.
To be able to build up such a massive business empire from scratch as a housewife, Nagasaki Asuna understood well the principle of "no one resents too much courtesy."
Especially after personally experiencing a supernatural incident, she clearly knew, if a little more money could build a relationship with a real Taoist master, that was a profitable investment.
Moreover…
It wasn't that Nagasaki Asuna had any ill intentions. She was already old enough to be Kaito's mother, so she definitely wouldn't go after a pretty boy young enough to be her son.
'No matter how handsome, it is a matter of principle!'
But just because she wouldn't make a move didn't mean others couldn't.
For example, her daughter—Nagasaki Soyo.
Just like all adults who worried about their children's marriage, when she saw an outstanding junior, she couldn't help but want to bring him home.
Nagasaki Asuna was no exception.
'So young, yet already so powerful. Exorcising ghosts is easier for him than drinking water.'
'Plus, that flawlessly handsome appearance…'
'This Kaito-kun really is in his prime, isn't he?'
'He's a perfect match for my Soyo!'
