I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 524
"145 million (8.45 million yuan)..."
Kusanagi Ryuki was silent for a while and then said.
"What?!" Li Yan and Kagurazaka Iris suddenly felt cold and asked.
145 million... This is almost an incredible number. It should be said that Li Yan's own royalties plus adaptation fees fell short of this figure after more than a year.
"This... this is already blackmail. According to the law, this should be resolved through litigation." Kagurazaka Iris thought about the civil law regulations in detail and said.
"No... Just look at my home and you will know. It seems that I have provoked a group that should not be provoked." Kusanagi Ryuki shook his head and said with a look of embarrassment.
"Not to mention that they have the protection of legal companies and congressmen, the debt arrears signed by my brother are all legal... He even secretly mortgaged his family's house. It was simply a trap that completely set him up. Put it in..."
Kusanagi Ryuuki looked at Li Yan and Kagurazaka Iris sadly, and said: "I have thought about it in the past few days... What they want may not be my brother's hands and feet, but maybe they want to force me to participate. That game..."
"...Game?" When Li Yan heard this, he always felt that this title was quite strange.
"It's better for you not to know about this thing..."
Ryuki Kusanagi looked at them and said: "My motorcycle is very good, and I am quite famous among motorcycle enthusiasts... Although I haven't engaged in street racing for a while, now I can only use The way to gamble on cars is to pay off all the debts at once before my brother is retaliated or goes to jail."
Betting on cars...
Street car gambling is quite popular in the United States, Japan and Europe. It is the most common form of competition and gambling in street racing. Generally, more rich second generations and automotive technology experts play this game.
Li Yan had some knowledge of this level of car culture when he was checking writing materials.
"..."
However, Li Yan understood the concept of that kind of [game] when he saw Kusanagi Ryuuki's scars and the fact that the motorcycle he had always cherished was damaged into this state.
At this time, Kusanagi Ryuki's scars were basically bandaged. He stood up and said to Li Yan and Kagurazaka Iris: "That's it. Teacher Uesugi, Miss Kagurazaka... have caused you trouble, really. I'm sorry, but that's it. Don't interfere in my affairs anymore. The power of those guys on the other side is greater than imagined, and the chain of interests involved is quite complicated. You must not get involved..."
In the cold wind and snow, Ryuki Kusanagi's eyes were a bit uneasy. After saying this to them, he took a few steps back until he reached the side of the motorcycle, then put on his helmet again and drove away on the motorcycle. .
"..."
At that time, Li Yan and Kagurazaka Iris didn't know what to do in their hearts. They stood there for a while, looking at Kusanagi Ryuuki with hesitant and complicated expressions, and left in a hurry without having time to take anything from home...
"Sure enough... it still doesn't work."
Kagurazaka Iris thought quietly, and finally she shook her head and said to Li Yan.
"Although I don't know what to do, I still can't let Kusanagi-sensei fend for himself... You are not only my authors, but also my friends. Even if it will cause disaster, I plan to stop Kusanagi-sensei from taking risks. Such a thing."
Kagurazaka Iris showed a cheery smile, looked at Li Yan, and said: "Me and everyone at Sanwa Bunko should persuade him to come back. There are always other ways, right, Mr. Uesugi?"
Li Yan was slightly stunned, looking at Kagurazaka Iris, somewhat speechless.
He didn't dare to make any independent decisions. After all, as Kusanagi Ryuki mentioned, if one more person is involved, there is more danger. However, he also underestimated his team in the light novel industry...
"That's true, then now I will go after Mr. Kusanagi..."
Li Yan was silent for a moment, then nodded, preparing to set off to retrieve Kusanagi Ryuuki who had just left.
"No, you should go back and rest now."
Kagurazaka Iris stretched out his hand and touched Li Yan's forehead, smiled, and said: "Thank you for coming here under such circumstances. I have a low fever. Leave the rest to us. You can go back and have a good rest. ."
"But……"
"Leave it to me. I will definitely be able to find him and persuade him to come back and work with us to find a solution."
Li Yan was silent for a while and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"Absolutely no problem."
Kagurazaka Iris said with a bright smile.
Li Yan looked at Kagurazaka Iris with dizziness. In the flying snow, he looked at Kagurazaka Iris, and finally nodded and agreed to his editor.
Kagurazaka Iris' prediction was quite accurate. She said there would be absolutely no problem, so there was a high chance that nothing would happen.
As a result, the two moved separately. Li Yan dragged his body with a low fever back to Supra and returned to his car with complicated emotions.

——[You are Chinese, are you interested in the light novel industry? 】
--【……Yes, it is. Although I am a foreigner, I have a good command of Japanese and I also like the two-dimensional world, so I hope Sanwa Company can give me a chance to become a writer. 】
——[The previous editor mentioned to me that your previous works have great potential, but you have to know that there is a lot of competitive pressure in light novels... There is currently no foreigner in Japan who can write in the second generation. Standing firm in the dimensional culture, at least... it is even more difficult for Chinese boys to stand firm. I personally think that creating interesting stories has no boundaries. If you write really well, the company and I will guarantee your copyright and income rights, then... I started reading. Um? The name is "Super Academy War", the name is a bit weird...]
--【yes……】
…
——[I have seen it. Congratulations, Mr. Li. I am personally very optimistic about your work. Maybe you have great creative talents. 】
——[Yes, thank you very much...]
——[However, there is another question. If this book can be published, I need you to publish it under a Japanese pen name and try not to reveal your identity. Therefore, I want to ask, do you have any favorite Japanese celebrities? ? 】
——[...Yes, I personally prefer the Sengoku daimyo, Uesugi Kenshin. 】
——[Yoshi, then your pen name should be called Uesugi-san, Mr. Uesugi. The contract will be ready soon. Welcome to join our Sanwa Bunko family. 】
More than a year ago, in the summer, Kagurazaka Iris, wearing a summer dress, showed a cheerful smile, stretched out her hand, and said to him.
【Dong dong dong! ! 】
Suddenly, a phone call woke up Li Yan, who was still dreaming.
"!!"
He opened his eyes suddenly and lay on his bed, suddenly covered in cold sweat.
Obviously he didn't have a nightmare, but for some reason, he suddenly felt uneasy.
In the darkness, it was already ten o'clock at night. After Li Yan came back, he took anti-fever medicine and hid in the sheets to reduce the fever. As a result, he fell asleep until now...
As a result, the uneasy Li Yan quickly answered the phone and asked, "Who is it?"
——[It’s me, Miyamori Aoi. 】
"...Oh, Miss Miyamori, I'm sorry, I just woke up...is there something wrong?"
——[The Christmas party I talked to you about last time, Li, have you decided yet? I've already started looking for a meeting place. 】
