My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

However, they themselves know that the chances of their request being fulfilled are relatively small.

However, they never expected that just a few days later, Takayanagi Ichiro would actually appear at their school.

The female students who had interacted with Takayanagi Ichiro before immediately greeted him enthusiastically downstairs, and then a whole host of them responded.

This unusual situation was naturally noticed by Principal Akagi and Ichiro Takayanagi downstairs.

Takayanagi Ichiro has excellent eyesight and can see the workers by the window from a distance, as well as the girl he had met on the train before.

He came here today mainly to discuss the loan, but since these female students are so enthusiastic, Takayanagi Ichiro won't let them down.

So I raised my right hand and waved to them twice, which was my way of saying hello.

After receiving a response, the girls' screams and shouts grew louder and louder.

However, at this moment, Takayanagi Ichiro shook his head slightly at them and then pointed to Principal Akagi next to him.

They weren't elementary or middle school students, so they knew that Takayanagi Ichiro and the principal must have something important to discuss.

So the noise subsided, so as not to cause any trouble for Takayanagi Ichiro.

Takayanagi Ichiro waved his thanks again, then walked away with the principal.

Chapter 125 Katsura Kotonoha's Response

"He's so handsome, I just wonder if he has a girlfriend."

"Do you think that after the senior finishes talking with the principal, he will come to meet with us?"

"The senior must have waved to me just now, none of you should be envious."

"You're talking nonsense. Senior was clearly waving at me."

Subsequently, more and more girls began arguing about who Takayanagi Ichiro had waved for.

"Gui, I see you have no reaction at all. Could it be that you have really forgotten the kindness your senior showed you?"

The short-haired girl who came to report this matter earlier looked at Katsura Kotonoha with a serious expression, hoping that Katsura Kotonoha could give an explanation.

You should know that the old man on the tram had given them some instructions.

Ask them to help take care of Katsura Kotonoha at school, so that she won't suffer any further harm.

After Makoto Ito apologized in front of the entire school, some students came over and made sarcastic remarks, saying that Kotonoha Katsura also had problems.

At that time, the girls around Katsura Kotonoha completely united and recounted the events that happened on the train.

If Katsura Kotonoha herself doesn't believe that Takayanagi Ichiro has done her any favors, then they will definitely feel disappointed in her.

If anyone comes along again and makes sarcastic remarks, they might not choose to side with Katsura Kotonoha, because it's not worth it.

If they were treated like that by Takayanagi Ichiro, they would definitely offer themselves up in return.

Katsura Kotonoha's reaction was far too cold.

Whether it was when she came to deliver the good news before, or when she just greeted Takayanagi Ichiro, Katsura Kotonoha wasn't very enthusiastic.

Katsura Kotonoha wasn't very good at handling interpersonal relationships, but she could still sense a hint of dissatisfaction from the girls around her.

"I have not forgotten Mr. Takayanagi's kindness. I believe that Mr. Takayanagi came to our school today because he has something important to discuss with the principal, and not simply because he came for us."

My family has reconnected with Mr. Takayanagi because of some events, which is why I'm being so nonchalant.

Katsura Kotonoha's words brought a sigh of relief to the girls around him.

If Katsura Kotonoha's answer doesn't satisfy them, they will definitely gradually distance themselves from her.

"I remember Gui, your family runs a fried food shop, right? How do you know Mr. Gao Liu?"

"Because Mr. Gao Liu runs a loan company, our family wanted to renovate the shop, so we went to Mr. Gao Liu for a loan."

Katsura Kotonoha only gave a brief explanation; Takayanagi Ichiro's business did not provide details about what happened after her mother took out the loan.

“A loan company, although it looks very likely to be related to usury, I believe that Senior Gao Liu is definitely not that kind of person.”

"Senior Gao Liu must be the kind of person who abides by the law, otherwise Gui's mother wouldn't have asked Senior Gao Liu for a loan."

"Do you think Principal Gao came to our school this time because our school also wants to get a loan from Gaoyou alumni?"

"That's definitely possible, because the school hasn't paid salaries for several months."

"How did you know?"

"Because my neighbor's wife's aunt works as a cleaner at this school."

Then they began to speculate about Takayanagi Ichiro's purpose in coming here, as Katsura Kotonoha's attitude towards Takayanagi Ichiro had already passed the test.

.............

"Head of the Takayanagi family, I never expected you to be so popular at our school."

It seems that handsome guys are welcome wherever they go.

At this point, Principal Akagi had already brought Ichiro Takayanagi to the principal's office.

Instead of sitting in his own seat to entertain Ichiro Takayanagi, he walked with Ichiro Takayanagi to the guest seats.

Now that he needs Takayanagi Ichiro's help, he can't act like the host.

At the same time, Principal Akagi greatly admired Takayanagi Ichiro, who became the head of the Takayanagi family at such a young age.

Not only was he able to seize power from Takayanagi Gozo, but he was also able to gain the support of those girls in this unfamiliar environment.

"Actually, I have met with them before."

Principal Akagi was a little embarrassed by Takayanagi Ichiro's words. Could it be that his students were doing some kind of "assistance" or "socializing" work, and that Takayanagi Ichiro was the "sugar daddy"?

If that's the case, then isn't what I'm doing now the same as what the students are doing?

"Head of the Takayanagi family, what do you mean by this kind of meeting?"

"May I ask how the school handled the matter between Katsura Kotonoha and Ito Makoto?"

Upon hearing these two names, Principal Akagi understood something.

"Makoto Ito was made to apologize in front of the entire school, and Makoto Ito and Kotonoha Katsura were separated from each other in the same classroom."

Kotonoha Katsura is currently surrounded by more girls, and Makoto Ito seems to be isolated by the students; not many people are willing to stand by him.

"Oh, so this has happened, Principal, don't you want to do something about it?"

"Ito Makoto deserves what he got. If the situation hadn't been a bit tense lately, I might have expelled him from our school to prevent any future problems."

Principal Akagi is a smart man. From Katsura Kotonoha's attitude, he can roughly tell that Takayanagi Ichiro is related to the incident at that time, and that he is one of the people who hate Ito Makoto.

So Principal Akagi wanted to appear somewhat regretful, saying that if he had known things would turn out this way, he should have expelled Makoto Ito.

"At that time, I was the one who exposed Makoto Ito's secret filming and then handed him over to the police."

"Sir Principal, your handling of the matter seems to be without fault; the only hope is that he can truly repent and reform."

It's something Principal Akagi never expected that Ichiro Takayanagi would be the one to expose the secret filming.

If I had known the truth earlier, Principal Akagi might have prepared a banner to present to Ichiro Takayanagi's office when he visited it again.

"Master Takayanagi, thank you very much for protecting the girls at our school."

As for Makoto Ito, we will definitely be even stricter with him.

If they don't meet our standards, we will definitely recommend that they transfer to another school.

We have already dealt with Makoto Ito, and if we immediately expel him from school, it could very likely cause some panic.

Therefore, it would be better to simply raise the standards for Makoto Ito and expel him from school if he doesn't meet them, which would be in accordance with the rules and regulations.

"Principal, let's talk about the loan."

Ichiro Takayanagi simply nodded in response to Principal Akagi's assurance, and then continued discussing the loan.

Chapter 126 Makoto Ito and the blond-haired man's negotiation tactics

There was no need to talk much with Principal Akagi, since he had previously worked with Takayanagi Ichiro's father.

Moreover, his attitude was very good this time, and the loan was secured in just a few words.

[Ding dong: Congratulations, host, on successfully making a loan. You are rewarded with all the abilities of the first-generation Phantom Thief Kid.]

Upon receiving this notification from the system, Takayanagi Ichiro was quite surprised. He hadn't expected that just collaborating with Principal Akagi on a loan once would result in such a large reward.

Although Principal Akagi's loan amount this time was quite large, a full 100 million yen.

However, for the Takayanagi family, it was nothing more than a drop in the ocean, or even less.

Could it be that the higher the amount of money you lend out, the more rewards you get?

And there might even be a substantial reward when it's recycled.

This loan will take a full six months, which is a long wait.

"Patriarch Takayanagi, what's wrong?!"

After signing the contract and receiving a check from Takayanagi Ichiro, I noticed he was lost in thought, so I asked him about it with some concern.

Unlike his father, Takayanagi Ichiro charged interest this time.

"It's nothing. I just think you're a good principal, and this school will definitely get better and better in the future."

"When the time is right, I will invite you, head of the Takayanagi family, to give a speech to the students at the school."

Perhaps some students will be able to get into better schools after listening to your speech.

"As long as I have free time, it's fine."

Ichiro Takayanagi did not refuse Principal Akagi's invitation.

"Master Gao Liu, why don't you take a stroll around our school and leave after lunch?"

I can arrange for one of your familiar students to come and keep you company; you won't be disappointed.

Faced with Principal Akagi's arrangement, Takayanagi Ichiro shook his head and refused this time.
