Even Tomoko Suzuki wasn't confident she could control someone as capable as him.

"Ms. Tomoko."

"Please allow me to refuse."

Izuki Qingtian calmly shook her head.

I'm not surprised by this request.

To preserve their superior genes, prestigious families...

The methods used are incredibly varied.

Not to mention that the atmosphere in Japan is somewhat abnormal.

Tomoko Suzuki immediately exclaimed, "Five treasures!"

"No one else knows about this except me."

"Of course, you can't tell anyone!"

This concerns the future of the Suzuki Group.

Tomoko Suzuki would never allow a third party to know or take over.

"Five treasures..."

“I can accept it, but…”

Izuki Karuta has free control over her own life force.

Naturally, the methods for obtaining genes are also different from those of ordinary people.

With a flick of his right hand,

Izuki Karuta opens the door to her own mental illusion.

The scenery of a dream world is closely related to one's own state of mind and mood.

Like the snowy rainforest illusion where Sherry was cold on the outside but warm on the inside,

There's also the Colosseum Fantasy Realm that Xiaolan longs for, filled with adventure and battle.

Eri Kisaki yearns to break free from constraints and pursue the dreamlike world of ocean waves.

Izuki Qingtian possesses strong mental power and a peaceful state of mind, unlike the mental illusions they experience.

"Ms. Tomoko."

"If you want it, come and get it yourself."

If Tomoko Suzuki can reach the end in the mental illusion.

There, one can find the life essence gathered by Izuki Karuta.

"...I...I'll try."

Suzuki Tomoko stared blankly at the magnificent mental illusion for a long while before she came to her senses.

It was an epic castle adorned with dragon patterns, terrifyingly large, and with countless inhabitants.

Tomoko Suzuki observed everything in the castle, her emotions a complex mix of tension, fear, and anticipation.

The essence of life resides in the royal palace at the rear of the castle.

To obtain the essence of life, Tomoko Suzuki must use every means possible to evade layers of interrogation and guards.

If discovered, they would have to fight against the heavily guarded and powerful Royal Guard.

"This is too difficult..."

Tomoko Suzuki frowned, her palms sweating.

Izuki Karuta could tell from Suzuki Tomoko's performance that she was a complete novice.

However, considering those five treasures, he could give Suzuki Tomoko more time and opportunities to try.

Time passed by,

Tomoko Suzuki's fantastical adventure made no progress whatsoever.

Half an hour later, gritting his teeth, he decided to try to persuade or bribe the powerful figures in the castle with his silver tongue.

As the business queen of Japan, Tomoko Suzuki possesses first-rate eloquence and negotiation skills.

But the inhabitants of the illusion are all people from Itake Karuta.

Even with her silver tongue, Tomoko Suzuki couldn't sway anyone who wasn't determined.

Tomoko Suzuki tried her best to talk for a full half hour, until her mouth was dry, but she still made no progress.

Outsmarting them won't work, and neither will negotiation.

Tomoko Suzuki only has one last path left:

—Force your way in!

Even if it means getting injured, Tomoko Suzuki is determined to get what she wants.

However, Suzuki Tomoko herself was a novice in the illusion realm.

Having been pampered for so long, they were used to a life of luxury.

Their combat strength is indeed limited.

They were quickly discovered and defeated by the guards.

Seeing that Suzuki Tomoko would not be able to pass the test anytime soon,

Izuki Karuta lay down directly on the extremely comfortable and luxurious tatami mat.

Let Tomoko Suzuki continue her adventures in the illusion.

Chapter 197 Losing Both Money and People, Tomoko: You did this on purpose, didn't you?!

"Did you do this on purpose?!"

"They're deliberately making things more difficult for me!"

After failing the challenge time and time again, Suzuki Tomoko belatedly questioned Itake Karuta.

"This is the normal difficulty level."

"Ms. Tomoko, if you're not capable, don't blame the road for being uneven."

Izuki Karuta reminded her, "And your attitude wasn't good either."

Sensing the implication in Izuki Karuta's words,

Tomoko Suzuki's voice immediately softened, "Mr. Itake~~~"

It was noticeably stiff, clearly because she was used to being a queen and didn't know how to be affectionate.

After all, she never needed to act cute before.

"I'm not going to help anyway."

"5 treasures, 5 hours."

Izuki Karuta smiled and said, "Ms. Tomoko, just keep trying."

Anyway, with his strong mental power, maintaining the illusion for 5 hours is no problem for him.

With the support of malevolent energy, even if the mental illusion is damaged to some extent, it can be easily restored.

On the contrary, Tomoko Suzuki,

Actions taken within the illusion will indirectly affect the physical energy consumed in reality.

After several attempts, Tomoko Suzuki was already somewhat exhausted.

Even though there was still plenty of time left, she was already destined to fail.

……

Tomoko Suzuki's eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Good morning, Tomoko.

"Congratulations on your final success."

Izuki Karuta looked at Suzuki Tomoko with a smile.

"I...succeeded?"

Suzuki Tomoko was a little confused. She checked the time again and saw that it was already 10 a.m. the next day.

She didn't even know when she fell asleep.

"Have you forgotten, Ms. Tomoko?"

"I was moved by your perseverance and decided to lend a hand."

"You'll successfully complete the game before you pass out."

Karuichi Itake takes Tomoko Suzuki on a journey through the illusion of last night.
