Chapter 93 Nothing else matters but money
Chapter 93 Nothing else matters but money
Itachi Uchiha noticed that Kakashi seemed to be grilling meat, and his gaze kept falling on Ye.
Their relationship seemed closer than before, but he didn't even notice, and a sense of crisis arose in Itachi's heart.
Kakashi appeared completely oblivious to the awkward atmosphere and continued grilling the meat.
"Wait a minute, Kakashi and Anko don't seem to have any romantic relationship."
"Well, it's hard to say."
Uchiha Ye secretly sized up Itachi again, and he didn't seem to like Anko much.
"Could it be that she's overthinking things?"
"Forget it, she should just eat her meat obediently and wait to see the show."
She lowered her head and picked up the grilled meat from the plate, glancing up at it from the corner of her eye every now and then.
"Why isn't there any sound at all?"
Uchiha Ye suddenly looked up and found that all three of them were looking at her.
"???"
"What are you doing?" Kakashi asked, picking up a piece of freshly grilled meat.
She still hadn't seen Kakashi's true face. "Could it be that I'll see him today?"
She stared intently, her gaze following the movement of the piece of meat. "Is the mystery finally about to be revealed?"
Perhaps her gaze was too intense, or perhaps for some other reason, Kakashi placed the piece of meat directly into Uchiha Ye's plate.
"Oh my god... can you please stop messing with her like this?"
Uchiha Ye was speechless inside, but he smiled and calmly returned the meat to Kakashi's plate, saying, "Kakashi-senpai, I can do it myself."
A flicker of joy crossed Itachi's heart upon seeing this, but his heart tightened again when he heard that Ye wanted him to grill the meat.
"Ye Jiang, don't bake it yourself, I'm scared!" Hong Dou quickly stopped her, as if she had thought of something terrible.
“I’m not giving you any…” Uchiha Ye rolled his eyes.
"As long as you're happy, just don't cause me any trouble." Hongdou immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Ye instantly looked extremely aggrieved, and lowered his head in a sad and dejected manner.
Kakashi didn't know why, but he couldn't bear to see Ye like this, so he said gently, "Ye, can I try some of the meat you grilled?"
"Really?" Uchiha Ye suddenly raised his head, his face full of expectation.
Red Bean gave Kakashi a look that said, "Good luck."
Itachi thought for a moment, "Yo, grill one for me too!"
“Okay!” Uchiha Ye quickly agreed.
She quickly picked up two pieces of meat and started grilling them. "Today, she's determined to prove her culinary skills."
"Itachi, Kakashi-senpai, please!" Her gaze shifted between the two, but lingered mostly on Kakashi. "Now we can finally see their true colors!"
Itachi noticed that Ye's gaze was mostly on Kakashi, and he couldn't help but feel jealous.
"Yo, Kakashi, you're here too!" Suddenly, a green figure appeared in front of everyone, flashing his white teeth as he called out.
"She knew it wouldn't go so smoothly!" Uchiha Ye seemed to have anticipated this outcome, yet she was still deeply disappointed.
At that moment, Genma Shiranui and Ebisu walked over.
When Ebisu saw Uchiha Hato, his eyes immediately turned into hearts. "Hato-chan, can we share a table?"
Just as she was about to refuse, Hongdou turned around and agreed.
"Hehehe... She's remembered. We must not let her find any fault with Hongdou."
Uchiha Ye angrily stabbed at the plate with his chopsticks, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, they're all NPCs."
Thinking about it this way, she felt much better.
Genma Shiranui couldn't stop them in time. Seeing Ebisu sit down, he had no choice but to find a place to sit with Gai.
As Uchiha Yoh looked up, he noticed that Kakashi's expression was as if he were constipated.
"You can't blame him for this; he asked for it himself."
That's not the point. The point is that she was interrupted just now, and she missed another chance to see Kakashi's true face.
She turned her head slightly to look at Itachi, and when she saw him about to eat the piece of meat she had grilled, she quickly stopped him, her eyes filled with the words 'I give up'.
Ebisu noticed their interaction and looked displeased. He quickly picked up the meat he had grilled and put it on Uchiha Yoru's plate, saying, "Yoru-chan, try my cooking."
"Ebisu-senpai, I can do it myself." Uchiha Ye frowned, his whole body radiating rejection.
Ebisu's eyes looked slightly hurt, but he wore sunglasses so no one could tell. He pushed up his sunglasses and came back to life.
Matt Kai was completely oblivious to the awkward atmosphere and continued to devour the barbecue.
Upon hearing that Uchiha Ye was treating, he immediately began to eat his fill.
Itachi only realized today that Ye had gathered so many women around him. After comparing them, he still had a great advantage, and one of them was even a defeated opponent, so he was not a threat.
Hongdou remained as carefree as ever, glancing at others every now and then, occasionally flashing a strange smile that looked rather eerie.
After Kakashi ate the piece of meat that Uchiha Haba had grilled, he never touched his chopsticks again, which made her sigh with regret.
The most normal one here should be Genma Shiranui.
Aside from the slightly awkward atmosphere at the beginning, they gradually became more familiar with each other and started chatting. After all, apart from her and Itachi, the others were all classmates, so their relationships were probably not too bad.
After that, she simply became a quiet listener, occasionally taking a bite of the meat that the weasel had grilled for her.
Being able to observe the anime characters she has seen up close is also a kind of fun.
Thinking about it this way, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up; 'skillful eyes and bright smile' might be the best way to describe her smile right now.
"Oh no, I got too carried away!" She quickly lowered her head, not noticing that everyone's gaze was sweeping in her direction, with Uchiha Itachi next to her being the most shocked.
When it came time to pay, Uchiha Ye thought it would cost at least 50,000 taels, but it turned out to be less than 30,000 taels. A look of surprise flashed across his face. "That's really cheap!"
I have absolutely no recollection of how I almost starved to death when I first entered the game.
Except for Might Guy, everyone of the opposite sex present consciously took out their money to pay. Uchiha Yoh simply took out a wad of cash, pulled out a few bills and paid, not even bothering to ask for change.
"Ye-chan, tell me secretly, did you go gambling again? Can you take me with you next time?" Anko whispered to Uchiha Ye.
"Sister Hongdou, my money is all from legitimate sources, don't talk nonsense."
Immediately afterward, Uchiha Ye kindly offered a word of advice: "Sister Anko, your gambling skills are truly appalling. You'd better not go to places like this."
"Is this really you?" Hongdou asked incredulously.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Uchiha Ye rolled his eyes. "Right now, the Daimyo is unconscious, and power is basically in Hua Ling's hands. If she wants money, it's just a matter of a word."
She dared not say this aloud, and no one could guess it. Moreover, Lone Star and Horned King had saved up quite a bit of money as bounty hunters.
She has nothing but money now, "more than she can spend, she simply can't spend it all!"
Uchiha Ye generously pulled out a wad of cash and handed it to Anko, saying, "Anko-nee, take this and spend it!"
This behavior makes him look like a nouveau riche.
"I'm so sorry!" Hongdou said, but her body language betrayed her true feelings as she accepted the gift.
The people nearby could clearly see what the two were doing.
What's so special about that? All of them combined don't even have as much money as a little girl.
"It's terrible, absolutely terrible!"
