BXBX NOVEL Chapter 140 140: Yoze Is Too Dangerous
"My pleasure," Jasmine perked up hearing that she had the opportunity to show her dislike for Yoze.
"In my opinion, working with this client is too dangerous. Just from the few times I have met him he has always given me the feeling that he is hiding something."
"Normally that\'s fine since everyone has secrets but the secret that he has must be enormous and incredibly dangerous. It would be too dangerous for us to continue working with him."
"If he felt that we were encroaching on his secret he would probably think of shutting our mouths by killing us."
Yoze was stunned at how Jasmine and Adam both mentioned how dangerous he was. He wanted to disagree with Jasmine\'s thoughts that he would kill them. But when he thought about what she said about him being willing to kill them if they found out his secret he couldn\'t refute it.
If there was a chance that they figured out that he had the Second Best System that allowed him to copy other people\'s talents he would be forced to either make sure that they were on his side or kill them.
However, Yoze didn\'t feel that there would ever be a time when he had to make that decision when related to his cheat. Simply because he left too little evidence for someone to ever figure out what his cheat could do.
Just like how Jewel had thought that the Serpent demon had taken over his body and was planning to use his body for some kind of grand scheme. Yoze was confident that others would have other similar misunderstandings and didn\'t care if they misunderstood the nature of his cheat.
"From his body language, powerful body, attitude, and mindset he is fine with killing as long as it doesn\'t bring him trouble. He also has plenty of blood on his hands." Jasmine continued.
"What makes me the most nervous is how he shows that he is someone that tends to focus on one thing and everything else takes a backseat. We are obviously not a priority in his mind and that wouldn\'t change even if we began to work with each other closely."
"Once we become an inconvenience for him, he would be more than willing to drop us at the drop of a hat. He might even try to extract as much value from us before leaving us dry." Jasmine crossed her arms as she felt herself on a roll.
Yoze on the other hand felt that once again he couldn\'t refute her claims since it was true. He did focus on martial arts and his family and pushed everything else into a secondary position.
There were both personal and external factors as to why he had such a focus however the most important was the fact that Yoze felt this world was dangerous. The world was filled with unimaginable dangers that put him and his family in peril.
To protect his family and allow them to have a great life, Yoze placed a lot of importance on making himself stronger. As long as he was strong he would be able to protect his family and extend their lives by hunting demons.
Yoze also knew that having money was also extremely important to not only allowing his family to have comfortable lives but also giving them financial freedom. Anything that Yoze couldn\'t solve himself or couldn\'t do in a fast and convenient manner could be solved with money.
The money that came with being a scholar was one of the reasons that the whole family was brought back together. It was also why he could support Tiki\'s, Dreyer\'s, and his father\'s passions.
Having both strength and money was extremely important to him since it represents that his family is living well. However, this was only possible because Yoze had gotten the Second Best System when he did.
If he had never gotten his cheat or had gotten it after the scholar exam it was guaranteed that his father would have died a long time ago either due to his sickness or from his old age. If his father had died there was little chance that he would have been able to reunite with Tiki and Dreyer.
In the end, the family would have been broken and scattered.
With the possibility that he would be alone in this world without family, Yoze wanted to do everything that would keep that possibility low. Even if he had to ditch his friends and business partners, Yoze was willing to do that.
Yoze secretly glanced at Jewel toward his side and saw how she was passionately nodding her head in agreement with everything Jasmine said. He couldn\'t help but think if there was a future where he would have to abandon her.
"Lastly, he just gives me a feeling that he isn\'t human." After saying her last point, Jasmine ran behind Detective Dave as if she feared that Yoze would retaliate.
"I agree with Jasmine, it\'s like he is barely human. Just look at how big he is, a human can\'t grow to such a size." Adam also ran behind Detective Dave as he agreed with Jasmine.
"I also agree, Yoze really shouldn\'t be human," Jewel added.
"Jewel whose side are you on?" Yoze was speechless by what Jewel let out.
He knew clearly that she felt that he wasn\'t human so why was she agreeing with them if she felt it was true? It was as if an enemy team accused them of a crime and then their teammate exposed the fact that they did commit said crime.
Was she not scared by the fact that as a demon he would just kill her and everyone inside this building?
"What I\'m on the side with the cute kids. If you want me to side with you, pay me more money." Jewel smiled at Yoze as she put out her hand signaling him to give her money.
"Forget it then, I\'m not paying you even a single copper coin." Yoze shook his head and clutched his money pouch tightly showing his resolve.
Noticing that Yoze didn\'t care about the fact that his two favorite assistants had just badmouthed his character, Detective Dave sighed as he knew that Jasmine was right. Yoze didn\'t care about them at all and only wanted to use them for his own benefit.
