TL/N:Warning! You may find this and the next few chapters disturbing. Please proceed with caution.

The first floor was divided into several rooms, unlike the second and third floors. There are surveillance cameras at the entrance of the building, so we need to be careful.

Oh, there are women in this room. Moreover, they are wearing proper suits. The room is small, and there are only two women.

"Yes, is that so? I apologize, but Sato is currently out. I will inform him to call you back. Yes, then, excuse me."

Hmm? Could it be that this place is different from the scam group above? They're wearing suits and speaking very politely, completely unlike the floor above.

"Shut up, you idiot! Sato, Suzuki, and Tanaka aren't here! You keep calling over and over again, you piece of trash!"

...Retracting my previous statement, this place is definitely the same as the one above.

"It seems like you ran into a lazy guy. Here, smoke a cigarette and calm down."

"Sorry, sorry... sigh Pretending to be a bank clerk is such a hassle. Well, at least the pay is good, so it's bearable."

"Yeah, yeah, as long as I get paid, I can put up with it. Besides, since hardly anyone comes here, I hope you can excuse my outfit."

I see, it seems these two women are the ones handling the phone calls for this building. Yeah, they might be scarier than the men on the upper floors.

There was also a splendid guest room and reception on the first floor for customers or perhaps for when a mark came. Wow, I didn't expect it to be this thorough.

And on the fourth floor, there were several impressive rooms. The man inside was dressed more elegantly than those on the lower floors, so he was probably one of the executives of this organization. He was talking to the man who had been called the team leader yesterday.

"Alright, alright, it seems like we've made quite a bit this month too. We even got some new recruits, things are looking good, huh?"

"Yes, I never thought we would be able to operate so openly with a base of our own."

"Yeah. We should thoroughly disguise ourselves as a regular company and look for targets far from here. Use overseas lines for phone calls and hire someone for the money exchange. Always secure an escape route and have a car on standby."

"So far, there haven't been any arrests. Eventually, we'll merge with other scam groups and grow even bigger!"

"Yes, we all will follow the executives. Let's squeeze as much money as we can from those old folks!"

……They are methodical and passionate in the wrong direction. They should channel that passion into something else.

"By the way, today is the bi-monthly refresh day. Are you ready?"

"Hah! You also sent someone out to gather supplies without any slack since this morning. They should be back soon."

"Indeed, as expected. The morale of the employees is important, so we must make sure they take proper breaks."

Despite being a criminal organization, they still show consideration for their subordinates. A refresh day, huh? Are they going to procure some good drinks and food and have a celebration?

"Oh, speaking of the devil, it seems the supplies have just been procured and returned. As usual, we'll start with the president and then move on to the rest."

"Alright, leave it to me."

The man who was called the department head leaves the room. The man who is called the president is on the fifth floor above. I think I'll go take a look at him.

There were about three rooms on the fifth floor. Since the door to this room is the most luxurious in design, this must be the president's office.

It seems the door is not locked, so I slightly open it to see what's inside. There was a young man sitting in an extravagant chair.

Is this guy the boss of this organization? The department heads and team leaders I saw earlier looked to be in their 30s to 40s, but this man looks quite young, probably in his 20s. He has slicked-back black hair and is dressed sharply in a silver suit, making him quite a handsome man.

Oops, I sense someone coming from behind. Is it the man they called the manager? Even though my stealth skills keep me from being noticed, I should move away from the president's office door.

"President, excuse me."

"Come in."

"Uu~! Uu~u!"

"Whoa, this prey is lively. Last time it was a gal who seemed like she was just playing around, but this time it's a cute high school girl who looks serious. Not a bad choice."

"Thank you very much. The arrangements are as usual, and we've taken every possible measure to avoid being seen or caught by surveillance cameras, so it should be absolutely foolproof."

"Yes, well done."

"Mmm~!"

"According to the student handbook, you're Yuki Nishimura, a second-year student at Ishizumi High School, right? You've been suddenly kidnapped in a car, blindfolded, and handcuffed, so you probably have no idea what's going on right now."

"From now on, you'll be entertaining a lot of men. But don't worry. If you behave, I promise to send you home by the end of the day."

"Of course, don't even think about telling the police or your family about this. I've noted your name and school, and I'll be recording everything from now on. If you try to report this, not only will this video spread worldwide and ruin your life, but it will also put your family and friends in danger."

"As long as you keep quiet, we swear we will have nothing to do with you from today onwards. Of course, we will never threaten you again using the video."

"In other words, if you can just keep quiet about today's unfortunate events, you can continue your daily life without any changes. Please make a wise choice and take care of your family and friends."

"Ugh... ugh..."

"Hehe, even your crying face is enticing. Hey, take him to the other room."

"Understood!"

"Wow, the president is truly a genius. With a speech like that, no woman would ever dare to report it!"

"Oh, if I keep threatening them, the women will eventually report me. If they think of it as a one-time nightmare, they can endure it to protect their family and friends."

"Even if we were reported, if they atr kept blindfolded the whole time, not knowing where they are or what has been done to them, there's no way we could be caught."

"The rest of the members don't matter, but make sure to definitely involve the newcomers. Just scamming doesn't give a strong sense of committing a crime. By involving women, instill a sense of criminality and camaraderie in them. That way, there won't be anyone betraying our organization."

"Well, that's wonderful! You don't have to worry; no one in this organization would ever think of betraying it. We earn a lot of money, and on refresh days, we can do whatever we want with women—it's the best! Now, let's start with the president tasting the women!"

"Ah, it would be interesting if you put up a bit of resistance like the last woman did."

"Hahaha, you are absolutely right."

"Well, since there's still some time left, I might as well take a quick break before enjoying myself."
