Chapter 537: Scare

The next morning, Masayoshi Kishimoto and Rie Sakai gathered again at the round table in the small dining room on the first floor of their house. As usual, he didn’t start eating as soon as he sat down, but first flipped through the front page headlines of the day’s mainstream newspapers in Japan.

The news that made it to the front page of a major newspaper was naturally recognized as the most newsworthy. Whether it was finance and economics, or politics and economics, there were always things that would cause the capital market to fluctuate. It was still quite necessary to pay a necessary attention.

Sakai Rie held a glass of milk in both hands and said, “I really need to go to the district office this morning to turn in that marriage session. It’s not too late if you back out now.”

Masayoshi Kishimoto’s eyes were still focused on the newspaper in his hands, and he said nonchalantly, “Even if I really want to back out now, you won’t do anything!”

“Saying it as if I’m in a hurry to get married and have to marry you.” Sakai Rie intentionally angled her head up and said.

“Marrying me would mean success for you. And the children you give birth to won’t be abused to death by you. Did you know that there are over 500 severely abused children who die in Japan every year.

Most of them really weren’t abused by their fathers, but by their own mothers. 90% of these come from poor families.

Both the mothers, and the fathers, do not have permanent and regular jobs, and either live on government handouts, or struggle to get by with temporary jobs.” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.

Sakai Rie had gotten used to him saying something negative to himself early in the morning saying, “Even if I don’t marry you, I won’t mistreat any of the children I have in the future.”

Masayoshi Kishimoto closed the newspaper in his hand and smiled playfully, “Are you sure you have the ability to support you and your children by yourself?”

Sakai Rie instantly became upset, “What do you mean? Are you saying that I, Rie Sakai, will only starve to death if I leave you?”

“Starving to death, not so much. I’m sure you won’t have it as good as you’re having it now.” Masayoshi Kishimoto put down the newspaper in his hand and said.

“You are really too conceited. Not only that, but you’re also too self-inflated. If you think you’re taking a big loss by marrying me, then let’s just not do it.” Sakai Rie said angrily.

“That’s one loss I’m willing to take.” Masayoshi Kishimoto scowled at her.

Sakai Rie instantly reacted to the fact that he was completely and intentionally teasing her. She quickly calmed her inner anger and said, “Actually, I’ve been thinking about a question. Even if I leave you now, I can still make a living by writing.”

“Aren’t you saying it wrong? You’re still a bit more reliable when you say that you rely on street selling, aren’t you? By writing? You’re in good humor, you must be teasing me.” Justice Kishimoto couldn’t help but laugh and said.

“Wouldn’t some of the privacy of Hard Gold Group’s founder, Hard Gold Zaibatsu, President Masayoshi Kishimoto be quite interesting to quite a few people?

I’ve lived with you for more than four years. You said that it would be perfectly fine for me to write out some of the bits and pieces of the life we’ve lived between us for a book.

A debut of ten thousand books. No, a hundred thousand copies. It’s also entirely possible to sell a million copies. I definitely don’t believe that no one would buy it and no one would read it.

Even if no one buys or reads it, it’s definitely because you’ve found someone to buy it all up in private, and even bought out the rights for future reissues.” Sakai Rie said smugly.

Kishimoto Masayoshi was straight away taken in by her and said, “Worthy of being my Kishimoto Masayoshi’s wife. You’re also quite business-minded. In fact, why do you need to go through so much trouble! Why don’t you just use this as a bargaining chip and ask me for money?”

“I’m afraid of becoming a missing person if I directly blackmail you for money. You set up a recording, video or something, and not make me an extortion offense?

This out of the book, will be able to let me have security guarantees. If I go missing, you’ll be the biggest suspect.

Even if I don’t go missing, or get beaten up, harassed, etc., the news media will report the truth, so that the public can speculate that in all likelihood, you’re the one who called the shots.

I know deep down that you are a man who is extremely good at weighing the pros and cons, and wouldn’t have done something that sacrificed your personal reputation like that.” Sakai Rie said with an unchanging smile.

“But don’t you forget that although I don’t have complete control over the media in Japan, I do have a certain amount of say in my hands.

There are also established unspoken rules between the media and the media. I am fully capable of being able to block such a thing that is so unfavorable to me.

As for fabricating a crime for you, that’s not simple, and I’ll be able to discredit you at a moment’s notice. Although you are quite intelligent, you are still too young and inexperienced to know much about the dark side of society.

Remember, if you’re poor, don’t fight the rich. In Japan, your husband and I can already sway above a certain degree.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said on the matter.

Sakai Rie did not concede defeat, “Are you trying to scare me?”

“You’re right, I’m bluffing to scare you. Do you know how Princess Diana of England died? Ostensibly she died in a car accident, while in reality it was a British agent who was ordered to do it.

Diana disgraced the British royal family because she did pretty much what you say she did. You women are generally oblivious once you get puffed up and conceited.

A woman should never touch a man’s bottom line, just as a tiger’s ass should not be touched. At that time, it’s not uncommon to get killed.” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.

Sakai Rie rolled her eyes at him three times in a row and said, “You are really too bad.”

“You still love me even though I’m so bad. That only proves once again that if a man isn’t bad, a woman doesn’t love him. The more bad a man is, the more women love.” Masayoshi Kishimoto did not get serious and said.

“I am completely compelled by you.” Sakai Rie said quietly.

“Let’s eat! After you finish eating, I can go to work while you go to the district office to turn in your marriage session. As for the next thing, you’ll be more worried and bothered to prepare for the wedding by arranging various matters.

Where to hold our wedding, what to invite, how many people …… to invite a lot of things! On top of that, you have the particularly arduous and important task of giving birth to a child.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said without haste.

Even if Sakai Rie knew that he was telling the truth, she still didn’t find it easy to accept for a while. It made it seem as if she was his Kishimoto family’s birthing machine.

Of course, she knew that if Masayoshi Kishimoto really wanted to find a woman to give birth to his children, there were plenty of women who would do so voluntarily and willingly.

As he said at the beginning, even if Japan is a developed capitalist country, there are still a lot of poor people.

There are even more women among them. There was nothing wrong with being able to live a carefree life just by giving birth to a man, after all, it was part of a woman’s instinct as a female animal.
