Madam, believe me, how can I be a minotaur?

Even though those 3.52 million yen, along with the principal he brought, were completely lost in less than a day, it didn't stop him from thinking he was a genius, a gambling god, and completely falling into gambling.

In the end, just a simple move could easily earn him nearly half a year's salary in an instant. Who could resist such temptation?

At least, Hiroki Jinno couldn't resist.

Especially after he won 15 million yen in one go not long ago.

Although, like before, he quickly lost it all back after winning, and even borrowed more money while gambling, causing his debt to rise directly to 60 million yen.

But he believed that as long as he kept gambling, he could eventually pay off his debts, successfully get ashore, and become rich.

Winning four times would pay off the debt, winning five times would break even, and winning more would be pure profit.

I was just a little unlucky before. As long as I'm luckier, I can win big money immediately!

Thinking this way, Hiroki Jinno reaffirmed his determination to continue gambling.

But to accomplish such a great feat, there was still one prerequisite.

That was to have some capital.

Without capital, he couldn't even enter the casino.

Just like now, because the 100,000 yen he found at home yesterday had all been lost, he was immediately "invited" out of the casino by security.

And because he had borrowed too much and hadn't paid it back for too long, the Yakuza boss who had been lending him money before was now not very willing to continue lending to him.

So now, where was he going to get the capital?

Go to work? And wait for payday?

Hiroki Jinno shook his head.

It's impossible to work. It's impossible to work in this lifetime.

Not to mention that he was already unemployed, even if he wasn't, he wouldn't want to earn such hard-earned money.

After experiencing earning tens of millions of yen in an instant, he no longer wanted to earn money in such a slow and tiring way.

So, what other ways were there to quickly get money?

There were.

Although the amount of money he could get from home and that woman had become less and less recently.

But he had already gotten nearly two million yen before. In that case, it shouldn't be a problem to get a little more, right?

Hiroki Jinno thought this way, while raising his head and looking at his house not far away, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl into an excited smile.

Just then, he suddenly noticed a black car parked by the road near his house.

He knew this car, and he knew that even the lowest configuration of this car was worth 20 million yen.

Except for some idiots who spent all their savings to buy a car, people who could afford this car must have at least 100 million yen in assets, right?

Thinking of this, Hiroki Jinno couldn't help but start fantasizing.

Hmph, that's just a little money. After I get the money and make a big profit in the casino, I'll become richer than all of you!

He thought this way as he continued to walk towards his house.

Soon, he passed the black car and walked back to his house, took out his key and opened the door.

…

"Boy, who are you? Why are you in my house?"

Hiroki Jinno stood in the entryway, staring unkindly at his living room, where a young man with yellow hair he didn't recognize was standing.

The yellow-haired young man—Makoto Asano frowned slightly upon hearing this, but didn't say much.

Because he could probably understand why the other party would react this way.

Anyone would probably react similarly if they suddenly saw a strange man they didn't recognize in their house.

Not to mention that this person was Yuna Jinno's father and Risa Jinno's husband.

If it was out of concern for his wife and daughter being hurt, then it would be normal to be a little aggressive.

So, even though Hiroki Jinno's tone of voice didn't sound very pleasant, Makoto Asano still very understandingly prepared to greet him first.

But before he could open his mouth to state his identity, Hiroki Jinno, standing at the entryway, made a look of sudden realization and said, "Oh~~ I get it, you're someone sent by Brother Takimoto, right?"

He came to this conclusion because of the car parked at the door.

He had heard that one of the underlings of his lender, the Yakuza person Takimoto, drove the exact same car.

After seeing a photo of that car before, he had specifically searched for information about it, which was why he knew what the car looked like and how much it cost.

The reason he didn't recognize it just now was simply because he was in a hurry to go home to get money to win money at the casino, so he had overlooked this matter for a moment.

After mentally assigning Asano Makoto the identity of a Yakuza boss's underling, a flattering smile immediately appeared on Hiroki Jinno's face.

He didn't even take off his shoes, but just walked directly into the living room and came to Asano Makoto's side, then ignored Yuna Jinno's livid face and bowed to Asano Makoto at a 90-degree angle.

"Oh dear, didn't Brother Takimoto say just yesterday that he could give me a few more days of grace? Why did you send you here now, Brother?"

"Oh dear, I was blind and didn't recognize you as someone sent by Brother Takimoto just now, so I might have spoken a little harshly. Please don't be angry, Brother."

While saying this, Hiroki Jinno was slightly hunched over, looking extremely humble, and his tone sounded quite ingratiating.

Seeing him bowing and scraping like this, Makoto Asano couldn't help but frown slightly.

Because of the other party's words just now, he understood the somewhat inexplicable situation now—this person seemed to have mistaken him for his creditor's underling.

But this wasn't the real reason Asano Makoto was frowning.

The reason he was frowning was simply because of the other party's obsequious attitude.

Although he had known long ago through dreams that Yuna Jinno's father was a gambling addict, and he also knew that most gambling addicts weren't decent people.

But he still didn't expect this person to be so pathetic, and in front of his daughter.

Damn, with a good-for-nothing dad like you, it would be a miracle if little Yuna didn't turn out like that.

Just as Asano Makoto was thinking this speechlessly, while considering how to deal with the current situation, the door to the guest room suddenly opened.

He subconsciously turned his head to look over there, and Yuna Jinno and Hiroki Jinno next to him did the same.

The person who opened the guest room door was Risa Jinno, who had already changed into a set of plain, comfortable home clothes, while holding a small black leather bag in her hand.

Upon seeing the situation in the living room, especially after seeing her husband Hiroki Jinno, Risa Jinno's face instantly paled, and then she subconsciously hid the small leather bag behind her.

But she was still a little slow.

Before she could completely hide the bag in her hand, Hiroki Jinno noticed her movements.

After squinting his eyes and seeing clearly what she was holding, Hiroki Jinno's eyes lit up immediately.

"Risa, what are you holding? Let me see."

He said this as he walked quickly towards Risa Jinno, who was standing by the guest room door.

"It's nothing, just—ah!"

Risa Jinno wanted to open her mouth to cover up, but her words were interrupted halfway by Hiroki Jinno's rough actions.

After walking to her side, Hiroki Jinno directly reached out and grabbed the arm she was holding the small leather bag with, and then yanked it outward forcefully.

Risa Jinno originally wanted to resist, but her strength was completely inferior to Hiroki Jinno's, so she was directly knocked to the ground by the outward yank.

At the same time as she fell, the small leather bag in her hand also fell down because she couldn't hold it steady.

Because the speed at which this series of events changed was too fast, even Asano Makoto didn't react in time.

When Hiroki Jinno walked towards Risa Jinno, he was still in a somewhat confused state, not understanding what was going on.

But after seeing Risa Jinno being knocked down, he immediately woke up, and at the same time, an unnameable fire rose in his heart.

Perhaps this is the sad part of being a man.

When they see a beautiful woman being bullied, especially by a man, most men will subconsciously get angry, and even can't help but want to go up and help.

But Asano Makoto is not an ordinary man after all. He is a yellow-haired pure love warrior from Tokyo.

The reason he felt angry just now was purely directed at Hiroki Jinno's actions.

In his opinion, it's not enough to describe this kind of man who beats his wife as a coward. Calling him a bastard is an understatement.

Therefore, after seeing Risa Jinno fall, his heart couldn't help but feel angry.

But that's all.

Even though he had figured out the situation and his opinion of Hiroki Jinno was even worse, and at the same time he felt sorry for Risa Jinno, he didn't go up to help or anything.

On the one hand, it's because this is a family matter of the Jinno family, and it's really not good for him as an outsider to interfere.

Putting aside the fact that his identity as "Yuna Jinno's boyfriend" is fake, even if his identity was real, it would still be difficult for him to get involved.

Because if you have to say it, the situation happening in front of him is a conflict between "adults" and "elders".

And the two parties in conflict are his "girlfriend's" parents, so it's even harder for him, a junior, to join in the fun.

On the other hand, it's because Asano Makoto subconsciously doesn't want to cause too much trouble.

Although he is indeed on Risa Jinno's side in his heart, if he really had to go up and help resolve the conflict, then he wouldn't be very willing.

In short, he unconditionally stands on Risa Jinno's side and can provide all support except for help.

The reason for this is still because there is really no direct bond of interest between him and Risa Jinno.

If Risa Jinno was his target to conquer like Yuna Jinno, then he would naturally go up to help without saying a word.

But unfortunately, Risa Jinno is not.

Just as Asano Makoto was thinking this, preparing to quietly watch this series of situations continue, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

Hearing this voice, Asano Makoto was directly stunned, and even the expression on his face visibly stiffened.

Although the system is currently in an upgraded state, and originally there shouldn't be any movement at all, so suddenly issuing a prompt tone would indeed make people feel surprised.
