Project Relife: 2x Isekai System

Chapter 21: Something strange

And asked him to transfer the one million as they had decided earlier for the bet. Natasha frowned over it and was about to tell him something when Nen stopped her and nodded his head to refuse her idea of asking Xin about it.

Hearing this Ryuu was somehow feeling weird at that time. Just a moment ago Xin said that he wasn't interested in money, then just after another moment, he was asking him to transfer the bet money as soon as possible.

"Mr. Ryuu, can you do it now, please? I am getting delayed for home, and I still have to buy myself some food for dinner."

"Huh, yes, yes. Sure, by scan or number?"

"Scan."

Xin showed Ryuu a QR code which was directly connected to his bank account. Ryuu scanned the code and transferred one million USD to his account as his prize money, for winning the bet.

Interesting thing, not a single drop of anger or arrogance wasn't visible on Ryuu's face anymore. After witnessing his skills, he wanted to hire him at any cost. And not able to do so was the only regret that he had in his mind at that time.

"Thanks for upholding your promise." With that, Xin was exiting the room with Nen, when Yamamoto asked him to stop and answer him something before going.

"Yes, what question?" Xin asked in a polite tone.

"Kiddo, just a curiosity. What are your mom's and dad's occupation?"

This was one of the questions that everyone in the room wanted to ask, but they forgot about it in the flow, and started to think about Xin, who was contradicting himself on his statement about money.

Now that Yamamoto had shot the question, he was reconsidering about it. He was of the idea what if Xin gets a misunderstanding that he was asking that question to look down on him and his parent's profession.

But nothing of that sort happened, and Xin answered his question in a polite voice.

"Well, my mom is a small employee in the Cyber Crime department in a small prefecture, and dad works in a trading organisation."

"Oh."

"Yes, anything else? If not, then I am taking my leave."

"Ah, wait, wait." This time Natasha was the one who stopped Xin from departing.

"Yes?"

"Mr. Xin, if you don't mind, can you please tell me what will you do with that large sum of money you got today?"

Hearing this question, Nen facepalmed and behind Xin and greeted his teeth in irritation. Since the day her sister has become the CEO of the company, her mind has been transformed to that of a money thrift.

"This money?! Just an addition to my pocket money, I guess."

With that, Xin left the room and went down to the parking area. Nen informed the others that he would return in half an hour and asked the others to have fun in the cafeteria.

Others agreed with him as they were there to discuss some business-related matters with him. Now, in addition to that, they wanted to know more about Xin, and how Nen found this prodigy.

Nen was willing to take Xin up to his apartment and declined his offer, saying he could walk from there. And Nen's car won't fit in that narrow road.

Nen too didn't say anything else against it as he was telling him a valid reason and dropped him before the same convi store, where Xin bumped into that burglar and met with Natasha and her bodyguard's after that.

Xin went inside the store to buy himself an obento (Japanese lunch box) for dinner and Nen turned back his car return. On his way back, he saw something strange while Xin was paying for his obento, and took a pic with his smartphone.

After returning to his company, he parked his car as usual and went to the cafeteria area to meet up with the others. Funny thing, the place was named Cafeteria in name only. In reality, it was no less than a four-star restro.

Since Nen and his sister don't often return home for completing their work and research work and stay mostly at the rooms built on the seventh floor, their mom had gifted them an entire troupe of maid and servant. For taking care of their daily needs.

And some good four star restaurant's chefs were included in that. When he entered the Cafeteria, he found Natasha and Ryuu were discussing something with each other with laughter, and Yamamoto was having a big bowl of traditional soba noodles.

For the bodyguards, they had returned to their rooms prepared for them on the same seventh floor of that building. Since it was a tiring day, Natasha asked them to take a break and have a good sleep. The building was being guarded by another group of guards, so she was safe inside the company.

Nen went near the two and asked them the reason behind their laugh. Upon seeing Nen, Ryuu abruptly stood up and bowed down to Nen, asking forgiveness.

Nen was somewhat confused by Ryuu's sudden apology and asked him the reason. Ryuu returned to his standing position and said the apology was for his rude behaviour earlier.

Ryuu explained he had some superiority complexion, and it acted up after knowing Xin was from a local government high school, instead of any foreign university.

Since Ryuu was apologising, Nen wanted to scold him for dragging his sister into the bet. But before he did Natasha interfered and informed his brother that some time ago she found out her bestie was Ryuu's girlfriend.

Ryuu too took the chance and apologised for the same, saying he dragged Natasha on impulse and didn't have any ulterior motive. He already had a girlfriend he was planning to propose to her soon.

Nen understood that Ryuu was a short-tempered guy with some superior complexity. "Must be the hormone of youth," muttered Nen and went near Yamamoto to talk about something important with him.

Since the topic was related to Xin, the other two also joined them in it.
