The rear window was lowered slightly, revealing a pair of sharp, upturned phoenix eyes.
Just by being swept by that gaze, the four girls felt an invisible pressure. Their hearts skipped a beat, and they immediately fell silent, pulling each other and hurriedly fleeing the scene.
Qingze walked around to the other side of the vehicle and opened the passenger door.
He looked at the exquisitely made-up Tsukishima Chizuru inside the car, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "I thought I'd stumbled into some fantasy world, but instead I see a succubus sitting in the car?"
"Haha~"
Chizuru Tsukishima let out a lazy, alluring chuckle, her bright red tongue lightly licking her lips, her eyes captivating. "Yes, this succubus... is here to drain you dry today~"
Chapter 25 Birthday Party
Saori Hoshino's father is the president of Omnipotent Pharmaceuticals, a company that entered the world's top 100 this year.
The Hoshino family naturally owns properties in Tokyo, but truly ultra-wealthy individuals are often not keen on living in the bustling city center.
For ordinary people, a city means convenient living services, high-quality hospitals, schools, and a wide variety of delicious food.
However, for a social class like the Hoshino family, even living in a remote rural area, they can easily "bring" the world's top services to their doorstep thanks to their wealth.
Therefore, Saori Hoshino's birthday party was not held in downtown Tokyo, but in the suburbs about half an hour's drive from the city.
The vehicle drove off the main road and onto a side road. At the intersection stood a prominent sign that clearly read: "Private land ahead. Under surveillance. Do not trespass."
Chizuru Tsukishima continued onward, and after turning another corner, a magnificent manor suddenly appeared before her.
A continuous wall several meters high completely isolates the manor from the outside world.
The imposing main gate was wide open, and several luxury cars had already driven in one after another.
Several burly security personnel dressed in black suits stood at the entrance, all wearing wireless earpieces to ensure that any situation could be communicated immediately.
Even in the air, drones hover at low altitudes, conducting surveillance without blind spots.
Chizuru Tsukishima drove the car closer, calmly took out a gold-embossed invitation from her handbag, rolled down the window, and handed it out.
The bodyguard carefully checked the invitation, then quickly looked up the guest information on his electronic device. He then bowed slightly and said with a respectful expression, "Ms. Tsukishima, Mr. Ao, welcome to the mountain manor."
Chizuru Tsukishima smiled slightly, took back the invitation, and drove through the gate.
Following the clear signs along the road, they arrived at the estate's private parking lot.
Before me lay a sea of luxury cars, with all sorts of top-of-the-line vehicles parked here, easily numbering no less than a hundred.
And this is far from all; even more vehicles will arrive later.
"It's good to be rich and powerful; even a birthday celebration can be so extravagant."
Chizuru Tsukishima glanced lightly at Aozawa beside her.
His expression remained unchanged as he calmly remarked, "These kinds of gatherings where everyone wears a mask and there's always a social obligation are not as comfortable as getting together with a few close friends to sing and have a bite to eat."
Chizuru Tsukishima let out a lazy hum from her nose and pressed the seatbelt release button with her right index finger.
With a "click," the restraints were released, and her magnificent breasts instantly regained their natural, full curves, no longer constricted by the seatbelt.
Chizuru Tsukishima turned to the side, her feet brushing against each other, causing her flat shoes to fall off.
She lifted her feet, encased in delicate flesh-colored stockings, and said in a slightly languid voice, "Help me put on my high heels."
"it is good."
Qingze responded and closed the comic magazine he had been holding. Instead of tucking it into his waistband like he did when he went shopping, he casually tossed it onto the back seat of the car.
He bent down, picked up an exquisite shoebox at his feet, opened it, and inside was a pair of bright red high heels.
Qingze gently lifted her soft, jade-like feet and carefully put on her high heels.
Then, Qingze took the lead in getting out of the car, walked around to the driver's side, and considerately opened the car door. At the same time, she gracefully bent down and extended her hand in an inviting gesture: "Your Majesty, please get out of the car."
"At least you have some sense."
Chizuru Tsukishima's eyebrows curved into a smile as she gently placed her hand in his palm, gracefully stepped out of the car, and then closed the door behind her.
She naturally took Qingze's left arm with her right hand.
As soon as the two left the parking lot, an elderly butler in a sharp black tailcoat quickly stepped forward and respectfully said, "Distinguished guests, please take your car to the main banquet venue."
Behind him, a row of sightseeing vehicles were neatly parked, including six-seater and four-seater models.
Guests like Aozawa and Tsukishima Chizuru were naturally led to a comfortable four-seater sightseeing vehicle.
……
After about ten minutes in the sightseeing bus, the two arrived at the heart of the birthday party.
Before me stretched a vast lawn, as neatly manicured as a golf course.
Many round tables covered with clean white tablecloths are arranged in a staggered pattern on the lawn, displaying a variety of exquisite pastries and delicacies.
Neatly dressed waiters carried trays filled with various wines and beverages, moving among the guests.
Many well-dressed men and women gathered in small groups, chatting and laughing, creating a lively atmosphere.
On the west side of the lawn stands a two-story Western-style building with an extremely luxurious exterior, resembling a palace.
Under the bright sunlight, the semi-circular roof reflected a dazzling golden light. The gold on it did not look like gilding at all; it was most likely genuine gold.
Would you like to live in a house like this?
Chizuru Tsukishima smiled and turned her head to ask.
Qingze shrugged and replied, "Compared to that, I'd rather live freely and as I please."
"Freedom without the protection of power is often fragile and vulnerable."
Chizuru Tsukishima retorted softly, but quickly changed her tone and ended the topic, "Let's go downstairs."
Aozawa nimbly jumped off the sightseeing bus, then turned around, extended his hand, and let Tsukishima Chizuru take his arm as he gracefully stepped off the bus.
The eyes of some of the surrounding guests were naturally drawn to them.
Who could blame Chizuru Tsukishima for being so dazzling in her outfit today?
She wore a wine-red fitted evening gown that covered her chest completely, but her breathtakingly full curves could not be completely concealed by any fabric.
Thick, voluminous natural curls cascaded over her shoulders, subtly highlighting her bare shoulders.
The dress features a unique deep V-neck design at the back, exposing a smooth, fair back to the air.
This just-right amount of nudity is far more intriguing than complete exposure.
The gazes cast upon them were filled with amazement and admiration, but no one dared to approach them to strike up a conversation.
The scene appeared lively and casual, but undercurrents were running deep. Most of the guests gathered in groups based on familiar circles, forming invisible barriers.
It's very difficult for someone who doesn't belong to that circle to force their way in.
Chizuru Tsukishima began searching the crowd for familiar faces.
Qingze casually glanced around, then his gaze suddenly stopped and locked onto a figure on the west side.
Above the man's head floated a glaringly bright scarlet label.
[Evil God's Minions]
People with this label are born with a very fortunate appearance.
With his round, full cheeks and thick earlobes, coupled with the solemn robe he wore, he actually looked quite like the dignified and majestic reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha.
Aozawa glanced at Tsukishima Chizuru beside him out of the corner of his eye, suppressing the urge to immediately go forward and investigate. He decided to meet her later when he had the opportunity to act alone.
Just then, Chizuru Tsukishima's gaze, which had been wandering around, finally found its target: a social circle she was familiar with.
At the same time, she saw a familiar figure walking towards them with a smile on his face; it was none other than Hoshino Saori's father.
Chapter 26 Confrontation
Shusuke Hoshino is 65 years old this year, but judging from his appearance alone, he looks more like he is in his early fifties.
The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were not obvious, and her hair was clearly well-maintained, always remaining jet black and shiny.
Every piece of clothing he wears is custom-made by renowned designers, ensuring both an elegant and appropriate appearance and comfort.
He walked steadily up to Tsukishima Chizuru, a warm smile spreading across his face, and said, "Ms. Tsukishima, it's been a while since we last met."
"Yes, Mr. Hoshino looks younger and more energetic."
Chizuru Tsukishima smiled radiantly and responded flawlessly.
Hoshino Shusuke smiled smugly and said, "I recently hired a health guru, and under his professional guidance, I'm conditioning my body. I feel great, and I think living to be a hundred years old shouldn't be a problem."
"That's wonderful, congratulations."
Chizuru Tsukishima's tone sounded incredibly sincere.
Hoshino Shusuke was no greenhorn, but he was still very pleased to hear such a beautiful woman's compliment.
The fact that such a woman greets you with a smile is itself one of the most direct manifestations of power.
His gaze shifted to Qingze beside him, and he smiled, "This must be Saori's homeroom teacher. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Hello, Mr. Hoshino."
Qingze extended his hand and shook hands with him politely.
Hoshino Shusuke still had a warm smile on his face and said, "I am very grateful to both of you for your education and care for my daughter."
This year marks the first time Saori has invited friends to her birthday party, which makes me very happy.
In retrospect, enrolling her in Nagafuchi High School was definitely the right decision.
He shifted his tone slightly, still gentle, but with a hint of deeper meaning: "As a father, I naturally hope that she can have a better and more wholesome youth, be exposed to more positive and sunny things, and not be led astray by others."
He didn't directly mention his dissatisfaction with Yatohime's background, but the subtle hints in his words were clear enough.
He believed that the two people in front of him were intelligent and could understand his unspoken meaning.
As a father, Hoshino Shusuke couldn't personally intervene and force his daughter to sever ties with Yatohime.
He has always doted on his daughter. Although his daughter has recently become rebellious and there has been some distance between them, he still hopes to maintain the image of a "loving father" in his daughter's heart.
As for those "unpleasant" things, they naturally need to be done by others.
