Before he could finish his sentence, Satoru grabbed his collar tightly, pulled his body halfway, and pushed him out of the counter.
In this situation, the sleepiness of the shopkeeper was also thrown a thousand miles away.
He stammered and asked, "What's the matter? Is there any dissatisfaction with the hotel?"
"Stop acting f**king confused! Where's Sakura?!"
"Who? Who is Sakura?"
The boss also carefully tried to break out of Satoru's hand, but it was all in vain.
Satoru came out of anger, and even wanted to smash him on to the ground directly. Being able to talk to him like this was already very "peaceful"!
"The girl who came with me!"
"I don't know! Customer, it's very late now, I was too sleepy, so I lay down here and slept for a while... I really don't know if your Sakura has been taken away or not!"
The fear on the boss's face didn't look fake, if it's a lie, maybe he would have surrendered by now.
Satoru stared at his face, and after deliberating for a moment, he let go of him and went upstairs again without saying another word.
It was absolutely impossible for Sakura to leave there without saying anything to him. In this scenario, the only answer was that she was kidnapped.
'Could it be that I was too high-profile on the street just now and was hated for that?'
The person who kidnapped Sakura should neither be too strong, nor just an ordinary person.
If a person of high strength entered Satoru's perception range, he would have definitely noticed it, not to mention, Sakura was a ninja herself. If someone wanted to kidnap her, it would not have been easy. She should have the most basic vigilance and ability to counter.
'But if that's the case, why didn't I feel it at all?'
'How on earth was Sakura kidnapped?'
At the same time, the boss downstairs looked upstairs quietly, handed the counter to the clerk, and then ran out of the hotel taking the opportunity when many customers suddenly came to the store.
He ran very fast, but he didn't take the main road, but went through places where there were few people. He went around all the way, and then when he walked out of an alley, he finally stopped.
Panting for breath, he looked at the one in front of him, sitting in the largest flower building in the town, swallowed, and finally walked in.
This shop is called Aoi's Palace, it wasn't called this in the early years, he forgot what it was called, but the current name was changed because of the oiran, Aoi.
That was an extremely domineering woman, in this place full of flattery and coquettishness, she was as proud as a daughter of a rich family.
She was born extremely beautiful, coupled with her rare personality, so many people wanted to see her but very few powerful or mysterious needs could catch her eyes.
The boss walked in through the back door, and was stopped by the clerk of Aoi Lou as soon as he opened the door.
"What are you doing here?"
"I want to see Aoi-sama!"
"She's not free right now."
"She is free! She must be free. You must let me see her. I have something urgent."
Seeing this attitude, the clerk don't know what's going on between the man and Aoi, so the clerk hesitated for a moment, then he replied, "Then let me ask Aoi-sama."
"Thanks! Thanks…"
The boss of the hotel said several words of thanks, as if the clerk's notification was his last hope.
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked around, as if to make sure that no one was following, before he walked in with confidence and closed the door, but even so, he didn't dare to go any further, and could only wait for the news from the other side.
After a long time, the clerk came down and said, "Go up, she is free now."
"Thank you."
The boss went up to the third floor with ease, and found a luxurious and flamboyant wooden door on the innermost side. He took a few deep breaths before summoning up the courage to knock on the door.
"It's me, Ran."
After a while, a lazy and soft voice came from inside, "Come in."
After entering the door, the smell of rouge inside made Ran frown, but he didn't dare to show it, he just knelt down and wanted to speak his words.
Sitting behind the screen was a graceful figure of a woman. She was wearing a kimono with a lazy posture, and she was arranging her hair slowly with a comb.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Aoi interrupted him, "We have been doing business for a long time, and every time I give you the money directly, this is the first time you have come to me desperately, if you have no real urgent information, I will make you pay."
Aoi's tune was full of smiles, like flirtious words between lovers.
However, this gentle and gentle voice made Ran gasp several times.
"Aoi-sama, he may have found me, he came to me immediately!"
"What are you afraid of? If something happened to me in your shop, I would also look for you. Aren't you okay now? This means that he will no longer doubts you."
"But…"
Whoosh
A silver hairpin flew out from behind the screen, barely brushing against Ran's side face, a red line appeared on his face, and immediately after, blood flowed out.
He didn't even dare to cover it, and continued to beg for mercy, "My lord! That's Yagyu Satoru! That's Konoha's... no, the strongest shinobi in the whole Land of Fire! If I am targeted by him, I will die miserably, please help me, help me to escape from here!"
"Don't worry, with me here, you won't die. As long as I don't die, that guy won't be able to cause any disturbances. Isn't he looking for someone? There are tens of thousands of people in this town, so he has to look for it carefully."
Aoi smiled softly, then waved her hand, and someone came out from the dark room next to her, offering Ran a glass of wine.
"This is a very expensive wine. I give it to you as an extra reward. We will continue to cooperate in the future, and your benefits will be indispensableYou work very well, and so I don't want to change people."
Ran glanced at the wine glass with tangled eyes, and finally drank it.
It was Aoi's token of cooperation, and under such circumstances, he could only drink it.
After drinking, Ran stopped pestering and left the room.
This time, his footsteps were slower than when he came here before. It didn't seem like he was looking for someone urgently, but rather he was walking aimlessly.
He wanted to escape.
There's only one life, if Aoi doesn't care about him, then he would run away by himself.
Whoever touches Satoru, he would die a terrible death.
'Damn Aoi', she let him pretend to coax Satoru and that girl into the hotel, but didn't care how he should deal with it afterwards.
However, as soon as he left the gate of Aoi's Palace, he was grabbed by the neck and pushed against the wall.
'It's… It's Yagyu Satoru?!'
'He really followed me?!'
'Since when did he start following, how much does he know? How should I escape now?'
Ran's mind had already begun to think about how to deceive Satoru, but Satoru's words directly sounded like death knell to him.
"Who did you sell Sakura to?"
