No Otaku with Harem System

Chapter 257: Plot in China

After leaving the airport, we headed to my wife's company where she called a meeting to confront the managers who have been stealing money from her company.

I silently watched the way my wife dealt with the situation.

She is quite professional and smart, but she lacks experience dealing with corrupt assholes using dishonest means.

I've already talked to Yuriko and my pretty wife wrote a book with business tips for dealing with corrupt bastards and taking advantage of loopholes.

(Author's Note: Yuriko Takagi from Highschool of the Dead)

I told Lin Ruoxi that I found that book by chance and she was reading it on the plane so although she still has fields where she can improve, at least she is not so naive anymore.

The meeting progressed as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, but the managers only pretended to be sorry while secretly seeming confident that they could deal with my wife.

Using [Reader's Perspective] I got information about what happened and it was as I suspected, a rival company bribed them with promises that Lin Ruoxi would lose her control of the company so they just had to feign remorse so they could steal the company in a couple of days.

This wasn't related to the son of a bitch who put Senko's life in danger, apparently, there are more than five morons who will do anything to get Li Ruoxi.

Although I want to sigh at how troublesome this is, I'm also thankful for human stupidity, at this rate I'll be able to gather all the idiots involved in the cultivator's disaster and it'll be more efficient to kill them once and for all.

Instead of impulsive and violent revenge, it is better to be methodical in rooting out every potential problem.

As the result of the meeting, the managers agreed to sign a letter of resignation in exchange for not being reported to the police, this way the company's reputation will not be tarnished while these idiots avoid prison, but this is only the beginning of a headache.

In the end, only three people were left in the meeting room: my wife Lin Ruoxi, her best friend Mo Qianni, and me, a simple bodyguard.

I quietly stood up and removed a painting from the wall, then pulled a microphone from behind the painting and turned it off.

"What's that?" – Lin Ruoxi frowned.

"A hidden microphone" - I shrugged. – "There are cameras and microphones in other areas of the building, it will take me five minutes to remove them all so I will do it when we leave this room"

Lin Ruoxi frowned. – "Can you check who installed that?"

"I have some theories, but I'll need to investigate some things" - I sighed and sat back down. – "I insist, you are a magnet of problems"

Some of the microphones were put up by the business rivals, some by the idiot who sent the cultivators, and the cameras were put up by my wife's grandfather.

The lack of privacy is worrying, at least there were no cameras in the bathrooms or I'll have to gouge out the eyes of the secret service staff...

How did I know the location of these microphones and who put them?

"Ufufufu~ it's so nice to be useful again~" – Monika's voice sounded in my mind.

Daedalus managed to create an artificial soul for android women thanks to her own research and Ehit's puppets, in fact, three of the puppets managed to develop minds of their own so they became part of my harem.

The point is that now Monika can inhabit my Core of Existence so she can use her hacking abilities through my mind.

Although she is an artificial intelligence of the highest level thanks to the updates that Daedalus made, I did not allow her to invade the world internet since there is evidence that world powers have supernatural entities protecting internet servers and other media.

Although Monika can't hack all the servers in this world, she can take control of any machine without a trace within a radius of two kilometers which gives me many advantages in this world.

Lin Ruoxi sighed with a mix of worry and exhaustion. – "I feel that all the problems of the world surround me…"

"Don't think about it too much" - I smiled slightly gently. – "Just focus on business, I will take care of the rest"

"Oh, nothing more reliable than a mobster's promise" – Lin Ruoxi spoke sarcastically, though her expression had relaxed a bit.

Our relationship is improving as I try to answer every question she has. Communication is the basis of a stable relationship.

While my wife and I were having a quieter chat, Mo Qianni looked at us bitterly.

"Um, why are you guys acting like this is normal?" – Mo Qianni sighed wryly as she struggled to hide her jealousy. – "This looks like a spy movie, you should be more worried…"

She knows that I am Luis and I am here to protect my wife so we can talk without problems, however, I put several barriers and restrictions in her mind so that an information leak does not occur and that I can guarantee her safety.

She also knows a bit about the supernatural world so I used [Anti-Rasen] to protect her from the 'Attraction Phenomenon', the same thing I did with my other lovers without supernatural abilities before I left Japan.

Although [Rasen] has higher destructive power, I prefer the utility of [Anti-Rasen].

"Fact is stranger than fiction" - I shrugged. – "Think of it like this, spies in companies are something every day and this is one of the companies with the greatest potential in China, so it is normal for problems to appear, in addition to the fact that, without exaggeration, Lin Ruoxi is one of the world's most beautiful women, and there are many idiots with too much money who only think about their dicks"

"Are you saying this is all my fault?" – Lin Ruoxi looked at me with resentment, although she was a little embarrassed by the mention of her beauty.

"You can blame your parents for giving you such good genes" - I sighed. – "Being outstanding is important, but being too outstanding is a headache"

"When you put it like that, beauty is a curse" – Mo Qianni smiled bitterly.

She became friends with Lin Ruoxi as my wife's grandmother saved her from being raped when she came to town as well as helped her finance her studies for which she has been eternally grateful to my wife's family.

The three of us sigh over the problems of life.

"Now I have to hire new managers, I have to find a way to recover the funds that were stolen, and I have to make sure that our partners are not affected by this problem or the credibility of the company will fall to the ground…" – Lin Ruoxi massaged her front with frustration. – "Everything is troublesome…"

"They are definitely made for each other" – BB sneered in my mind. – "A happy couple of bitter people~"

I sighed internally. – "Don't you have something better to do instead of annoying me? Why don't you watch anime with Nyaruko and Abby?"

The women in my mind are finding different hobbies which give me some peace of mind.

This is not out of consideration for my non-existent mental health, the problem is that I still haven't recovered from the headache caused by the Samsara Cycle and my mood has been very bad the last few days so I must avoid getting angry or can kill someone for an accident.

On the plus side, Gogh is still asleep so the troublesome voices haven't increased.

"My hobby is making sure senpai doesn't feel lonely~" – BB replied with a smile. – "Seeing senpai's frustration is my reason for existing ♥"

…Whatever, it's my fault for accepting her into my harem.

I stood up. – "It seems that you are going to work late so I will remove the cameras and make sure the area is safe"

"Thank you" – Lin Ruoxi sighed.

"Oh, you learned to thank" - I smiled. – "You are maturing, congratulations"

"…" – Lin Ruoxi looked at me coldly as her friend covered her mouth to keep from laughing.

I left the meeting room and left the building after Monika disabled all the spy devices.

System Goddess was in charge of deactivating two espionage talismans that had been placed in Lin Ruoxi's office, so now the place was free of espionage, although it is still vulnerable to enemy invasions, so a small spider emerged from my hand. – "Take care of Lin Ruoxi"

"…" – Ortro didn't reply.

I sighed. - "What do you want?"

"Kiss on the cheek" – Ortro answered with her usual expressionless voice. – "Friend kisses the girls' cheek, it is bad to exclude friend"

My lip trembled, this brat's requests are getting more and more troublesome.

"They are my daughters" - I sighed.

"…" – Ortro remained silent, refusing to move.

"Well, senpai" – BB joined the conversation. – "Theoretically little Ortro-chan is senpai's daughter since she was born from senpai's mental problems, it is a case similar to how Hastur was divided into two people, Akai Haato and Haachama"

I looked at the spider in my hand.

"Friend? Papa?" - The spider tilted her head in confusion.

......

"Hey Listen! The 'oto-san kimochi' is becoming more canon every day!"

…..

I sighed heavily. – "Later we will talk about your reward, for now just take care of Lin Ruoxi"

The spider nodded and climbed down from my hand to go to my wife's location.

"Hey Listen! Did you finally resign yourself to fucking your loli dog?!" – Navi shouted with joy. – "Furry lolicon!"

"Do you want to piss me off to see me attack some idiot's base?" – I sighed bitterly.

"Hey Listen! Yes! Now stop sighing like a whining bitch and go kill arrogant young masters while fornicating with beautiful women with no personality who only serve to satisfy girlfriendless men's fantasies of masculinity!"

"Do you have any grudges against spoiled rich kids?" – I raised an eyebrow.

"They are pieces of shit who deserve to receive NTR while being castrated by a rabbit bite! Their shitty attitudes disgust me!" – Navi shouted with joy.

I smiled wryly, I can't deny that I also dislike people like that.

Anyway, I have things to do.

I left the building and headed down an empty alley where a shadow awaited me. Confirming that no one was watching the alley, I used [Anti-Rasen] and Abby's spatial skills to create a space cut off from the World to avoid any potential onlookers.

"Master, here is a report on the gangs in the city" - Xiao Bai took off the cloak that covered her face making her almost invisible, and handed me a summary with the information about the triads (mafia) in the city.

Before I left, Mr. Ichijo gave me the contacts of his trusted friends who I can ask for help if a problem arises.

Although some of those friends are influential people, I prefer to do things on my own since I plan to cause chaos worthy of civil war and the first step is to have my own criminal organization.

The major mafias are backed by the big families so taking control of them will draw attention so it's best to control a small group and then grow them.

The idea is to make my mafia start a fight for territory with the big mafia which will distract the big families making it easier for me to infiltrate the important residences.

Although the Ancient Ones and Outer Gods have regained their full strength and my own power is comparable to a halfway decent Ancient One, I cannot underestimate the entities within Gaia since for some reason this World has managed to avoid invasions from Hell, Paradise, and other organizations.

The Laws of this world are quite restrictive and only BB and Abby can bypass some restrictions thanks to their skills while Nyaruko and the Ancient Ones can only use 30% of their powers so I must not lose my mind and become an impulsive jerk.

I looked at the report while Xiao Bai looked at me respectfully. This woman has become truly loyal to me as she is grateful for the strength I have given her.

"Let's see... The Red Thorns Society is a decent gang despite not having the backing of a big family" - Looking at the report there was something that didn't make sense. – "This group is decent and the current leader seems like an intelligent woman, but that does not explain the abnormal increase in the influence they have had"

"I also found it suspicious so I investigated the cause of this" – Xiao Bai sighed in disappointment. – "Unfortunately I did not find strange information, it seems that this group is growing since other organizations do not pay attention to them, but there are rumors that the leaders of other mafias are losing patience because the Red Thorns Society began to prohibit the distribution of drugs in schools and the prostitution of minors"

This is suspicious, the local mafias won't allow a small group to change the rules, on the other hand, the leader of this group doesn't seem to be a stupid woman so there is no point in becoming hostile to others mafias just because of moral differences.

The most logical explanation is that this Red Thorns Society has an unknown backing that gives them the security to face the other mafias.

I channeled Energy of Destiny into [Paranoia] and began to investigate.

Does an important family support this little mafia?

[System Notification: The skill 'Paranoia' says that the user's guess has a 1% chance of being true]

A foreign organization?

[System Notification: The skill 'Paranoia' says that the user's guess has a 1% chance of being true]

A supernatural force?

[System Notification: The skill 'Paranoia' says that the user's guess has a 70% chance of being true]

A protagonist?

[System Notification: The skill 'Paranoia' says that the user's guess has an 85% chance of being true. No further information can be sought as a Higher Entity is hiding the target's Destiny]

Interesting.

Let's see… Is this related to Lin Ruoxi?

[System Notification: The skill 'Paranoia' says that the user's guess has a 75% chance of being true. No further information can be sought as a Higher Entity is hiding the target's Destiny]

… Pluto…

When I used [Netori Protagonist] I didn't manage to steal all of Yang Chen's plot armor which means he is still a plot-attached protagonist so he can't be a Higher Entity. With this in mind, it means that a Higher Entity is using him for some shitty plan.

There is also the option that he is a system user and therefore retains the plot armor.

No matter what the option is, I need to find that idiot to find out what's going on.

I have no clues about Yang Chen's location since he is one of the best assassins in the world so he must have hidden his identity so the best option is to visit the Red Thorn Society.

A mass of black blood came out of my body and began to writhe until it formed Envy, the female homunculus with the ability to replicate the appearance and frequency of the soul.

A mass of black blood came out of my body and began to writhe until it formed Envy, the female homunculus with a tomboy appearance whose ability is to replicate the appearance and frequency of the soul.

With Tsubaki's 'Resonance' I can share some of my skills with my harem members and summons so Envy can use a slightly lesser version of [Mythomania] which allows her to cheat the Laws of the World to pretend to be native to Gaia.

"Hello boss" - Envy smiled with her usual rebellious attitude, but without being disrespectful, or Lust could hit her for disrespecting me.

"Imitate my current appearance and soul frequency, for now, you will stay with Xiao Bai and listen to her instructions, your priority is to pretend that you are patrolling the building" - I allowed Envy to scan my body to copy me and quickly she became a reflection of my appearance.

"Boss, you have more faces than me" - Envy smiled wryly while she had my Chinese man appearance.

"Professional assassins must be able to assume multiple faces, that is professionalism" – Xiao Bai spoke apathetically.

My look made Envy refrain from arguing.

I focused on Xiao Bai. – "Stay by Lin Ruoxi's side, you will temporarily pretend to be her assistant"

Xiao Bai nodded. – "Understood master"

Using [Mythomania], I changed my appearance and soul frequency back to become an ordinary young man with an easy-to-forget face.

I took out a package of food and gave it to Xiao Bai. – "Tell Lin Ruoxi that if she forgets to eat, then tomorrow I will not make her breakfast"

To think that I have to take care of the feeding of an adult woman since she is capable of forgetting to eat due to work… Maybe if we are made for each other.

Xiao Bai nodded and went back to the building together with Envy.

With information from Xiao Bai, I headed to the base of the Red Thorn Society, a bar called ROSE.

Now that I see that bar, it's very similar to the bar where I met Lin Ruoxi… Stupid plot coincidences.
