His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 674: TINY LAS VEGAS

The brother and sister remained quiet for a long moment.

“Do you think he is really dead?” Emi asked.

Inei rolled his eyes with exasperation at the question. “Of course, he is dead. He is not Voldemort. He is not going to come back and terrorise the land once again.”

“Of course, he is not Voldemort. How would he create the Horcruxes for his return? He has no soul.” Emi responded with an almost identical roll of her eyes.

The siblings were silent for a long moment as they looked at each other, and then, they just burst into loud laughter at the absurdity of the conversation. The heavy atmosphere was broken, dissipating the depressive air.

“Anyway, I know he is dead, but it is like the end of any horror movie. You believe the culprit is dead, but the end is always open for a sequel or a spin-off. I kind of expect him to stage a comeback and destroy the world.” Emi could not help saying it once they stopped laughing.

Inei understood that feeling. “It is kind of hard to believe he is gone just like that. He was a force to be reckoned with even when he was at his weakest. The only reason I am sure he is dead is that he would never let Yinuo leave this world alone.”

.....

“Yeah. His love for her almost made me believe he had a soul.”

“I am sorry about her, Em. I know she was your friend.” Inei stretched his hand and held Emi’s across the table.

Emi smiled a little as she thought of Jiang Yinuo.

“It is so strange. We used to be close as kids, and she was just gone. Then, she appeared and disappeared again. I keep hoping that she will make another successful return even though I know it is final. Or maybe, the two of them are already in another realm, terrorising the world together.”

“I hope so.” Inei smiled at the thought of that star-crossed couple. The two were in love, but the evils of Martial Island destroyed them, both physically and psychologically. He hoped they would find happiness in another place.

After a moment of silence, Emi spoke up again.

“So, what were you saying about the legacy of the great Demon King?” She asked.

Inei did not hide the truth from Emi.

“Yuan Haoran left his entire fortune to a mysterious person. Everyone has been wondering about the identity of the new boss, but the channels of information are tightly closed. Fortunately, I heard from a friend of mine that the boss is coming very soon to Tokyo.” Inei explained.

Emi frowned. “You were an independent contractor for those companies. You do not have a fixed commitment. You do not need to continue working for the new boss. Maybe, the best thing is to just cut loose.”

Inei nodded. “I know, but I am not reconciled. The Demon King, Yuan Haoran, was the client that put my company on the international map. It feels strange to give up on his legacy after his death. It feels like giving up on him.”

Emi understood his meaning. The conflict in Inei’s heart was more about sentiment. The truth was that Yuan Haoran would not care about his company, legacies and wealth after his death. He was a pragmatic man with strong psychopathic tendencies.

The only thing he ever cared about was Jiang Yinuo.

Still, Emi did not want to discourage Inei. The businesses owned by Yuan Haoran were not just about him. Countless people contributed to the growth, including her brother. It would be a shame for the empire to collapse.

“You can check out the new boss and make your decision. Who knows if the boss will be interested in your services anyway?” She teased him.

Inei turned smug. “Do not underestimate your brother. I am in high demand. The new boss will probably want to rebrand the casino to reflect himself. If the person is as powerful as I think, they will want to make the empire their own. No one is better at changing things than me.”

He worked with a lot of powerful businessmen, and he understood their thoughts. And one of the main ones was the need to possess and let everyone know they were at the top. They had to brand their businesses, buildings and products with their name or at least, identity.

It would be unthinkable that someone powerful enough to inherit from the Demon King would be willing to let things remain as they were. If they did, it would probably feel like moving into someone else’s house.

“Do you have an idea who the heir of the dark throne is?” Emi was quite curious about it.

Yuan Haoran did not have any family. He had literally killed each and every one of them. And if someone survived, they must have hidden in an invisible hole. Otherwise, they would have been hunted down. Of course, he also did not have a child.

If Jiang Yinuo were still alive, it would not be a question of who inherited the property.

“No. The information is tightly sealed, without a single leak. I can imagine only the lawyers, and maybe, the right-hand man of the Demon King knows the information.” Inei said before smiling wickedly. “But I am planning to find out, and you will help me.”

Emi clapped excitedly with a laugh. “You know what this means?”

“Hansel and Gretel, together again.” The two of them said it together.

Inei laughed at the childishness of it. The two of them came up with the Hansel and Gretel thing when Emi was a child and resumed when she was living with him for a few months while finishing her master’s. At the time, she would help him with some of his work when she was free.

“Tonight, we are going to party in the underworld.” Inei declared.

“Awesome! It has been a while since I attended a good party. What kind of underworld party are we talking about? I hope it is something fun. I miss our outings.” Emi was so excited.

Inei leaned back with satisfaction and looked at his sister with smugness. “Tonight, Anarkh will be holding a special event, the event of the decade in the elite entertainment sector.”

Emi was uncertain. “Anarkh?”

“Let me enlighten you, my ignorant little sister. Anarkh is the most exclusive casino resort in Tokyo. People have nicknamed it: the Macau of Japan. You will find the best in everything related to entertainment as long as you are willing to spend money.”Inei explained.

“I see. So, it is like a super small version of Las Vegas?” Emi asked.

“What?”

“I mean, people say that Macau is the Las Vegas of Asia. If Anarkh is the Macau of Japan, it follows that it is just a microscopic Las Vegas.” Emi explained.

“You worry me, child,” Inei said. “But yes.”

Emi stood up valiantly. “Tonight, we ride to the tiny Las Vegas!”

Inei also stood up. “To the tiny Las Vegas!”

The siblings looked at each other and burst into loud laughter.

On the other side, Yagi Seiryo knocked lightly on Misaki’s door.
