"I don't like trouble. Rather than letting you retaliate later, it's better to go for the kill from the start."
Tenya saw through the other party's thoughts and decisively gave him no chance.
"You...!"
"You brat, don't push your luck!!!"
Smith pulled out a gleaming dagger from his pocket, his eyes revealing a fierce glint. Upon seeing the knife, everyone immediately retreated three feet.
Only Tenya remained seated on the sofa, leisurely sipping his red wine.
Haruno, beside him, was also completely unafraid, leaning against him with a smile.
Just kidding. He can even kill anomalies. Why fear mere mortals?
Tenya's contemptuous attitude ignited the anger in Smith's heart.
"Damn it! You forced me to do this!!!"
Smith's eyes turned bloodshot, and he instantly lost his sanity, slashing down with the knife.
Pfft!
Blood splattered everywhere and a severed hand fell to the ground.
"Ah!?"
Everyone was startled, and at the same time, they were filled with incomprehension because what Smith had cut off was his own hand.
"Is he crazy?"
"Cutting off his own hand in a fit of rage, what kind of mysterious operation is this?"
"Good heavens, it seems everyone misunderstood Smith-san, he's fulfilling the wager."
Smith himself was also stunned, he stared blankly at his severed hand, the intense pain twisting his face.
"Boss! Let me help you out!!"
His assistant, who was nearby, somehow picked up a fruit knife, gripped it with both hands, and forcefully chopped down on Smith's other hand.
Pfft!
The other hand fell.
"As expected of the King of Gamblers, truly courageous."
"I, Tenya, toast you!"
Tenya solemnly raised his glass and drank it all.
A few seconds later...
Screams of pain echoed throughout the entire banquet.
The gambling game led to a bloody incident, which ultimately caused the banquet to end hastily.
"Haruno, your boyfriend is super mysterious."
The fake friends no longer dared to underestimate Haruno in the slightest. There was no evidence to prove that Tenya had cheated in the gambling match. But from the result, Smith, who had provoked him, not only lost money but also suffered the tragic fate of having his hands severed.
Everyone wasn't stupid, they naturally understood that Tenya was by no means an ordinary high school boy.
"Hehe. Otherwise, how could he be my boyfriend?"
Haruno smiled triumphantly, then intimately hugged Tenya's arm, and the two left.
"Tenya-kun, thank you so much this time. After this incident, those who secretly harbor ill intentions towards me will surely not dare to approach."
This was also Haruno's initial purpose in inviting Tenya to attend the banquet. She just didn't expect the effect to be even better than anticipated.
"No need to say thanks. After all, I'm no saint either. My purpose in doing this is merely to get closer to Haruno." Tenya made no secret of his desire.
"What a direct approach. Without the back-and-forth and riddles, it's a bit hard for me to adjust." Haruno said with a troubled expression.
"Yukino has already reached the root, you know." Tenya's words were like a clap of thunder.
"Wh-what?!"
"Yukino, that fast?!"
Haruno's expression instantly changed drastically.
"Yes, and she reached the peak three times." Tenya continued to add fuel to the fire.
"Three times...!!!"
Haruno's lips twitched, and her breathing became rapid and heavy.
"Hey! Yukino, who isn't very strong physically... actually went for it three times."
"What a greedy little cat!"
Haruno's expression became incredibly complex. As the older sister, she was still a novice, far, far behind.
"The latecomer may not necessarily be inferior. I think, as long as Haruno tries a little harder, it's not impossible for her to surpass Yukino." Tenya coaxed her patiently.
"You're inciting. You're clearly taking a huge advantage." Haruno couldn't help but roll her eyes.
She naturally knew what Tenya was planning.
"No choice, who told the Yukinoshita family to be so beautiful?"
Tenya spread his hands, indicating that he never made choices, he wanted them all.
"Then am I more beautiful or is Yukino more beautiful?" Haruno narrowed her eyes and joked.
"Kiyomi is the most beautiful." Tenya answered truthfully.
"Hey! Your statement is very dangerous. Wait, look at your expression, you're not serious, are you?" Haruno stopped joking, her eyes wide.
"Hehe."
Tenya smiled without speaking.
"That look of successful scheming..."
"Could it be that mom already!!!"
Haruno was instantly alarmed.
10:40 PM.
"It's still early.Haruno, how about we continue practicing?"
Tenya twisted his neck, his complexion still in a good, energetic state.
"No..."
"I can't anymore..."
"I've reached my limit."
Haruno at this moment was like a sea otter exhausted from swimming in the ocean, finally managing to crawl ashore to catch her breath. She didn't want to move a single finger.
"Still lacking exercise, Haruno. But as the saying goes, once is new, twice is familiar. Practice a few dozen more times, and you'll be able to keep up with my rhythm." Tenya said earnestly.
"You wish! Practice a few dozen more times." Haruno felt very dry in her throat and waved her hand.
"Haruno, let's go home." Tenya poured her a cup of warm water.
"What are you talking about..."
"Look at me now, can I go home like this?"
Haruno gave him an annoyed glare. Her entire body bore the marks left by high-intensity exercise, impossible to conceal.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? We're all family."
Tenya thought that the three Yukinoshita mother and daughters were already intimately familiar.
"Get lost!"
Haruno feigned anger and picked up a pillow, throwing it at him.
Thud!
The pillow hit the wall but Tenya's figure had already vanished without a trace.
"This guy..."
"Leaving in such a hurry, it seems mom will have a hard night tonight." Haruno pouted and complained.
However, since things had come to this, it wasn't so bad for their family to be all together.
Kamui.
Tenya returned home.
The sound of water splashing came from the bathroom. Tenya's heart swelled with joy, he had returned just in time.
"Who?!"
Noticing the figure at the bathroom door, Kiyomi called out.
"Kiyomi, I'm back."
Tenya unceremoniously reached out to twist the doorknob, finding it locked from the inside.
Ah, this wasn't a good habit.
Using Kamui to phase, he directly entered through the wall.
"Ah!"
This scene startled Kiyomi.
"Such a small matter, there's no need to make a fuss, is there?"
Tenya chuckled, then immediately removed his clothes, displaying his physique with eight-pack abs, perfectly sculpted in every aspect.
"Tenya-kun's superpower, I still haven't fully gotten used to it." Kiyomi stared intently, noticing the dense, fine marks remaining on his body.
However, she didn't ask.
Look! This was the broad mind of a mature woman. She wouldn't get jealous or throw tantrums at the drop of a hat, her main characteristic was emotional stability.
"Tenya-kun must be very tired from today's intense battle, right?"
Kiyomi gestured for him to sit in front of her, squeezed some shower gel, and gently wiped his body for him. Her slender fingers gently massaged his shoulders and back, bringing immense relaxation to his body and mind.
Tenya comfortably closed his eyes, leaning back, resting his head on two large hills.
"Don't worry, Kiyomi. My stamina is still ample. It won't affect our performance later." Tenya said confidently.
"I wasn't talking about you. Your opponents today were Yukino and Haruno, right?"
Kiyomi's fingers gently traced the marks of different sizes on Tenya's body.
