Money Can Buy Everything

009: Entering the Masayoshi Residence

The night passed without a word.

Momo slept comfortably, soundly sleeping until morning. Reimu, who didn't need to sleep, surprisingly got infected by Momo's sleeping face and lazily fell into a deep slumber using Momo's pillow.

When Momo woke up, the first thing he saw was the beautiful and pure face of Reimu, devoid of any impurities in its tranquility.

Momo almost couldn't resist rubbing against that pretty face, but just as he moved a millimeter, Reimu opened her eyes, filled with vigilance.

"What do you want to do?"

"Enjoy the pure morning air."

"Hmph, if you dare to do anything weird, I'll smash you to pieces!"

Reimu flew up and went to the mirror to tidy herself up, while Momo got up with the support of the bed frame. Although his body was more agile than that of a centenarian, being in his eighties still classified him as an old man.

Someone as energetic and lively as Momo would be considered an anomaly among octogenarians.

"Good morning, Mr. Momo!"

The chubby doctor, with dark circles under his eyes, entered Momo's hospital room. Despite his drowsy eyes, they sparkled with excitement. Momo had promised to mentor him yesterday, which kept him so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

Being noticed and favored by the elders of the Masayoshi family, even if it was just a slight mentorship, would be enough for him to soar to great heights!

As soon as the day broke, the chubby doctor drove straight to the hospital. He had been waiting outside Momo's room, anticipating Momo's awakening.

"Oh, you actually came."

Reimu also flew over, her eyes filled with disdain, and said, "What are you doing here with this guy? He has a sinister look and greedy eyes. Clearly, he's not a good person."

"I don't care about good or bad. Today is my second day in this world, and the business must go on."

Currently, Momo's trading power has leveled up to LV2, allowing him two trading opportunities per day. He was satisfied with yesterday's four transactions, so naturally, he wanted to continue trading today.

"Well then, Doctor, would you like to sell your life force? One billion dollars per year!"

The chubby doctor entered as a young man in his thirties, but when he left, he was already a middle-aged man with a bald head. Although he loved money, he clearly didn't have the madness of Ryoichi Mochizuki and had only traded fifteen years of his life.

Having gained a fifteen-year life replenishment, Momo returned to being 65 years old. His hair had turned from pale to deep gray, with only the temples showing white, indicating his age.

"Do you really intend to continue this kind of business?"

"Why not?"

Momo countered, "Money in exchange for life. I offer a fair price, and they believe that the price is sufficient to sell their lives. It's a completely reasonable transaction."

"I don't care about you anymore. Besides, your trading power is exactly this kind of thing."

As if ignoring the faint disdain in Reimu's words, Momo's face was filled with pride as he said, "That's right, that's the charm of trading! It's the kind of trade I long for, free from any restrictions. Of course, it still needs to adhere to the principles of fairness, voluntary participation, and equality."

While the two were talking, a luxurious convoy stopped at the entrance of the hospital, causing passersby to be astonished.

Subsequently, Japan's richest man, Masayoshi Mifune, stepped out of one of the cars, a customized Lincoln. Despite rumors of his impending demise, Masayoshi Mifune seemed to have suddenly recovered, appearing vigorous, energetic, and full of spirit.

Masayoshi walked briskly into the hospital, heading towards Momo's room. Other than himself, no one knew the purpose of his visit. However, this was typical of Mifune's autocratic style. Without the style of a strong individual, how could there be a strong career?

"Uncle, I've come..."

As Masayoshi entered the room, he gave Momo a warm embrace. However, when he saw Momo looking more than a decade younger, he froze.

Nevertheless, Mifune quickly understood what was happening and continued to step forward, embracing Momo.

It was Momo who had given him a second chance at life, even though it was exchanged for 10 billion dollars. However, once without life to enjoy, money was merely numbers and paper.

Masayoshi expressed his purpose, which was to invite Momo to the Masayoshi household and even provide him with a place to live out his remaining years. Although Mifune couldn't reveal Momo's secret to outsiders, it didn't prevent him from recognizing Momo's value.

Furthermore, he had only purchased ten years of life, and he still had more money and wanted to live longer.

Naturally, Momo wouldn't oppose this opportunity. Coming to the Sword Art Online world without any support, he could now align himself with the influential Masayoshi family, which was exactly what he desired.

The convoy left the hospital and drove into the Setagaya Ward in Tokyo. This was a well-known affluent area in Winter Kyoto, and for most wealthy families, owning a standalone residence here was a symbol of affluence.

However, the Masayoshi family had directly purchased a whole hill, a massive estate spanning over 10,000 acres.

As for the actual cost of the renowned Masayoshi Estate, it was always a hot topic on the internet, but no one knew the true figures.
