“Master, you’re awake? What is making you so happy?”

Hearing his laughter, Yamamoto put out his cigarette and walked over.

Ryuto watched as the familiar figure approached him, his smile getting wider and wider.

“I guess you could say I had a good dream.”

“That means something good will happen soon.”

Yamamoto returned a smile, showing a child-like expression on his weathered face.

“Indeed, something great might just happen.”

Ryuto gripped his armrests, controlling himself to not just punch Yamamoto senseless.

Of course, there is no point in violence – Yamamoto has a gun concealed on him.

‘Calm down, Ryuto. You must find a way out of this.’

Ryuto laid back down on his reclining chair.

After his second resurrection, he understood what a terrible situation he got himself into it.

This warehouse was a death zone for him.

So far, Ryuto knows that there are three forces that want him dead.

The Koujiro family, because he kidnapped their eldest daughter; Sakata, who proposed for Ryuto to kidnap Ruri, colluding with Yamamoto; Tianmu Yongji, the ultimate mastermind behind this – like Sakata, she hopes that Ryuto will die in this warehouse.

Ryuto was the sole remaining bloodline of his family, meaning…

If he were to die, then Sakata’s men would take over the group, meaning all of them would become Tianmu Yongji’s puppets.

‘How unlucky,’ Ryuto thought to himself.

After thinking about how perilous his sitatuon was, he carefully thought of ways to break out of this situation.

He could simply run.

However, Ruri would be left behind, and she would most definitely be killed, and he would still be branded as a criminal.

Since the two men present were not Tianmu’s minions, then he only had to deal with Yamamoto for now.

However, even if he deals with Yamamoto and escapes with Ruri, Ryuto is still a kidnapper.

The only way to survive is to let Ruri know that this is all Tianmu’s conspiracy to kill her.

Two conditions need to be met before this.

One, triggering the incident where Yamamoto calls Sakata or Yongji, bringing the three killers in.

Two, letting Ruri see the three killers with her own eyes.

The first condition is easy, but the second is difficult.

Having to deal with four enemies, including Yamamoto, is troublesome. Besides, they all have weapons.

Even if the two men present had daggers, they had no chance of killing Yamamoto, who had a gun on him.

Although he had all the information, he had no resources. It was simply… unfair.

Ryuto felt a headache forming.

This was equivalent to playing chess on both sides – all he had were two, lone pawns.

It’s impossible to win! Isn’t it better to just do as the French do, and just surrender?

Wait a minute…

Suddenly, Ryuto remembers that he had a system to help him out! Although it may be sarcastic and ironic to him, it could help him out.

He immediately opened the panel of his system, taking a closer look.

Beside his [Attributes] panel, there was a small “+” sign next to it.

He clicked on it curiously, and a system prompt popped up – [Do you want to increase your attributes?]

This is good!

Originally, he felt defeated upon looking at his garbage attributes.

But it’s different if he could simply level it up.

The difference between LV1 and LV2 weren’t significant, but LV3 has qualitative changes.

If he had a LV3 Physique, he might be able to overpower Yamamoto.

The moment he clicked “Yes”, another message popped up.

[Upgrading Physique from LV2 to LV3 requires 5 million yuan. Accept?]

Ah. Of course.

Although Ryuto had already guessed that it would cost real money, five million yuan is too outrageous.

After his second resurrection, he now has a total of 10,658,550 yuan, equivalent to ten extra lives.

If he were to level up, he would lose five lives.

Even then, Ryuto clicked on “Confirm”.

After all, the gap in power between LV2 and LV3 is big. Perhaps it could save him a few more lives.

After clicking on the Confirm button, his body underwent huge changes.

He immediately felt as light as a feather, as if he could perform a dozen somersaults on the spot. He could feel power brewing under his arms as well!

This is great!

Ryuto immediately came up with a new idea.

‘Should I just upgrade to LV4? Wouldn’t that make me unstoppable?’

He clicked the “+” sign once again.

[Upgrading Physique from LV3 to LV4 requires 50 million yuan. Oh, seems like you’re poor.]

‘Okay! Okay! I get it, you’re a greedy bastard!’

He almost yelled it out.
