Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

It's essential to provide Judy with a safer living environment!

"I think so……"

James tapped the table.

The problem right now is that they don't have enough funds for their operations.

The destruction of a submarine caused them considerable distress for a long time.

Despite their heartache, in order not to fall behind the Black Organization, they tightened their belts and brought over another ship.

This directly resulted in a significant reduction in funding.

"If you're short of money, I'll cover it!"

Shuichi Akai also noticed the difficulties on this side.

Having been a secret agent for over a decade, he still had the money to rent a nice place.

Not to mention it's for his ex-girlfriend!

"That's wonderful! I'll tell them right away..."

Don't tell her!

James was about to share the good news when Shuichi Akai stopped him.

At this crucial moment, he didn't want Judy to have any other ideas.

"I understand!"

A few minutes later, Judy, who was tidying up the room, received some good news.

A considerable sum was deposited into the bank account she used to disguise it.

There was also a comment from James.

Use this money to buy a safer place to stay.

"yeah!!!"

Judy threw down the broom she was holding and immediately cheered.

Chapter 473 The Girls Gathered Together (Third Update)

　"Buy a game console?!"

Biting his chopsticks, Luo Tian looked up in surprise.

He didn't expect Xiaolan to make this request while he was having dinner.

"Not available?"

"No! Of course you can! But why would I suddenly want to buy a game console?"

Luo Tian would naturally not refuse his woman's request.

But he was also very curious about it!

Xiaolan wasn't very interested in games before.

Of course, we're talking about legitimate games here.

Even the VR gaming console I bought after visiting the game expo last time.

She hadn't played much either.

Sonoko and the others, however, would occasionally take it out to indulge themselves.

Especially when little girls come to visit.

"Actually! After school today..."

Sonoko excitedly told him about going to the arcade.

They also highlighted their own company's fighting game console.

"It was only with a little effort that Kazuha calmed down a bit!"

Ai, who had already turned back into a little girl, chuckled and teased.

The other close friends also looked over with smiles in their eyes.

This caused Kazuha to bury her head in the bowl, not daring to lift it up.

Even though they had already been completely honest with each other, she felt extremely shy now.

"But I guess I'll get nervous again later."

Akemi and her younger sister worked together skillfully.

"Oh dear! It's already so late! Someone should probably go back to their room first!"

Hongzi also made an exaggerated gesture as she looked at a watch that didn't actually exist on her wrist.

There was a wall clock hanging on the wall.

"You guys are bullying us!"

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, after yelling at Ye, she ran upstairs as her best friend had suggested.

They didn't even finish their meal.

"Honey, you'd better hurry!"

Now the pressure is on Luo Tian.

He quickly finished his meal, ignoring the girls' stares, and followed them.

"Hehe, I bet Kazue will be looking for help within half an hour!"

"Not necessarily. If you include shower time, it could easily take at least an hour."

"He and Ye have been helping us these past few days, so we should be able to hold out a little longer!"

Ultimately, it all depends on how much effort you put in, darling.

Downstairs, people were chattering away, and soon upstairs, a burst of cheerful music filled the air.

……

"Miwako, is this alright (cieg)?"

"Yeah! Almost there!"

In the villa next to Luo Tian's house, Yumi was decorating the room with her best friend.

They have to work during the day, so they can only work at night.

They specifically refused Luo Tian and his other good friends' help.

Since it's your own place to live, it'll definitely feel better if you decorate it yourself.

Besides, it's quite fun to do a little bit every night!

"Yumi-nee, Miwako-nee, which of these colors do you think is better?"

Miaozi walked over with a picture book of curtains in her hand.

"Um……"

Looking at the curtain fabric pieces and renderings with their different styles and colors, the three of them fell silent.

Changing the layout of sofas, tables, and chairs is fine.

They were all a bit conflicted when faced with this multiple-choice question.

"How about we change the rooms in each one?"

Rubbing her eyes, Yumi felt like she was seeing things.

"How can this be done!"

Miwako immediately rejected the suggestion.

Even if she doesn't understand interior design, she knows that the style of her home should be as consistent as possible.

So which one should we choose?

Yumi collapsed onto the newly moved sofa, caught in a blissful dilemma.

The house is too big, it seems like a lot of trouble!

"How about we go ask Xiaolan and the others?"

Miao Zi raised her hand and suggested.

All three of them have a free-spirited personality, so they are not suited to make this kind of decision.

Why not ask your best friends for advice?

"Great idea! Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Yumi immediately jumped up from the sofa.

She grabbed her two best friends and started to walk out.

"Wait a minute, Yumi! At least put on some clothes first!"

Miwako couldn't bear to look at it anymore!

I can understand why I ran around naked when I moved the sofa, since I had just taken a shower.

We're about to go out, why are you still naked?!

"Yes!"

Touching her head, Yumi belatedly realized what was happening.

"Should we bring another change of clothes?"

Seemingly remembering something, Miao Zi asked, blushing.

"...It's probably best to bring it along..."

Miwako nodded knowingly.

She claimed she was asking for suggestions on curtains, but she knew without even guessing what would happen next!

……

"The Sunflower..."

"Yes! 'Sunflower'!"

"Why 'Sunflower'?!"

Inside the Cat's Eye Villa, the three sisters were troubled by a piece of information.

Not long ago, they received news that among their father's lost collection was a painting of sunflowers by the famous painter Van Gogh.

But it is well known.

Van Gogh painted several sunflowers throughout his life.

They weren't sure which one was from their father's collection.

"Honestly, can't Uncle Nagaishi be a little more reliable?!"

Xiao Ai lay on the bed, pouting and muttering to herself.

Are they going to steal them one by one?!

"Ai, Uncle Nagaishi has already tried his best."

"Soothe my little sister like you're petting a cat," Xiao Lei said softly.

The three sisters all lived in Japan, and the affairs of the Heinz Corporation were managed by their overseas housekeeper.

They're already doing their best to find time to gather intelligence even when they're so busy.

"But what should we do?"

Sitting down next to her sisters, Xiaotong felt a little helpless.

"Even if Uncle Nagaishi says that Dad left a mark on the back of that 'Sunflower' painting, we still can't be sure, can we?"

The whereabouts of the six existing "Sunflower" paintings are all known.
