"Ugh, got hit with protection fees again. This month's allowance is completely insufficient."
As evening approached, Higashikata Josuke returned home dejectedly, his action of lowering his head to change shoes pausing.
New shoes he hadn't seen before...
Did they have guests?
Several thoughts flashed through Higashikata Josuke's mind, his indoor shoes already on, as he walked into the house, observing left and right.
He didn't know why, but he always had a bad feeling.
At this time of day, his mother was usually cooking.
The living room was brightly lit.
Familiar cooking sounds entered his ears, like the faint, reassuring chirping of insects at night.
Higashikata Josuke smiled in relief, stepped out from the dark entryway, and shouted towards the kitchen, "I'm home--"
His words abruptly stopped as Higashikata Josuke looked at the man sitting on the sofa as if he had seen a ghost.
"Hello." Su Ze waved a greeting.
"You're back, Josuke." Oriental Woman poked her head out of the kitchen door, her face beaming with a happy smile.
"Huh, Mom, who is he?" The moment he saw Su Ze, Higashikata Josuke's ominous premonition resurfaced.
And it was very, even extremely, ominous!
This man in front of him was too handsome!
To the point where even men would be jealous!
Oriental Woman smiled, "This is your Uncle Su Ze, he'll be staying with us for two days."
"Uncle?!" Higashikata Josuke pointed at Su Ze, his face looking like he had swallowed a greenbottle fly.
Oriental Woman said disapprovingly, "Be polite, Josuke, how did I teach you before?"
"Okay, Mom." Higashikata Josuke nodded obediently, his pompadour somewhat amusing, and he chuckled, "So is he some distant relative of ours? Haha."
"No, Suze is Mom's new boyfriend, isn't he handsome!"
"Cough, cough, cough!!!"
Higashikata Josuke choked on his mother's outrageous statement, almost coughing up his lungs.
A few seconds later, he looked up, as if nothing had happened, and smiled gently, "Mom, you must be joking with me, right?"
"Oh dear, you scared Mom." Seeing her son was alright, Oriental Woman patted her chest in relief, then looked at Su Ze with loving eyes.
"It's not a joke."
!!!
You're the one who scared your son to death!
Higashikata Josuke's HP bar was instantly emptied, and he stumbled towards the sofa.
Oriental Woman quickly supported him, and asked with concern, "Are you alright, Josuke?"
"Hehe, Mom, I'm fine, you should go to the kitchen now." Higashikata Josuke sat on the sofa, forcing a smile.
It's hard to imagine how much courage and determination this child had to comfort his mother with a smile in such a situation.
Gentle, honest, kind, righteous, passionate, witty, extremely enraged if his hairstyle is insulted, values his friends and family greatly, and is a little greedy for money.
This is the character portrait of Higashikata Josuke.
Suze quite admired him.
"Alright then, you must get along well with Suze."
After Oriental Woman returned to the kitchen, Higashikata Josuke lowered his head, emitting a thick black aura: "How long have you known Mom?"
"One day." Su Ze felt that this matter couldn't be hidden, and telling the truth would be better for Higashikata Josuke.
The next second.
Crazy Diamond appeared!
Titanium alloy-like armor enveloped red muscles, mighty and powerful!
"Dora Dora Dora Dora!!"
Higashikata Josuke went completely insane, his fists almost synchronized with Crazy Diamond's fists, and a rain of punches rained down on Su Ze.
Higashikata Josuke's anger level had exploded!!!
One day!
This scumbag must have used some trick to deceive Mom.
Now he was going to smash this scumbag, even if it meant going to jail!
To be honest, the power Higashikata Josuke unleashed at this moment was somewhat terrifying.
When Higashikata Josuke entered the door, Su Ze's gaze had already scanned his muscles. With his physical fitness, his punching speed should not have been able to synchronize with Crazy Diamond, but now it had directly surpassed the limit.
The sofa and coffee table were affected by the angry fists, shattering and disintegrating.
But Su Ze sat in place, unmoving.
As the punches landed on his body, his skin naturally trembled, dissipating the force.
Higashikata Josuke's punches were still accelerating!
If he remembered correctly, Crazy Diamond's growth potential was C, but now it felt like it was about to evolve.
Su Ze was expectant, ready to let Higashikata Josuke continue attacking to see what the result would be.
But just then, the kitchen door opened.
Oriental Woman came out carrying a large basin of sliced meat soup, and looking at the two people sitting peacefully on the sofa, she asked strangely, "I just heard some strange noise."
Crazy Diamond's ability is restoration and reconstruction.
The moment Oriental Woman opened the door, Higashikata Josuke restored the shattered furniture and sat back in his original position.
"No, Mom, it might be the TV sound." Higashikata Josuke looked up and smiled, revealing his shining white teeth, feeling incredibly bitter inside.
"Oriental Woman, let me." Su Ze stepped forward and took the soup basin.
"Thank you, Anata!" Oriental Woman stood on her tiptoes and kissed Su Ze, the aura of happiness almost materializing.
[Happiness from Oriental Woman +388]
[Anger from Higashikata Josuke +5991]
Higashikata Josuke's desire value couldn't be extremely high, could it? Su Ze was surprised. He wanted to use True Magic Eye, but he was afraid of increasing the pressure of fate.
He placed the soup basin on the table and went back to the kitchen.
"Oriental Woman, you get the bowls and chopsticks, leave the hot stuff to me."
"Hahahaha ~ Suze is so good!"
"..."
[Anger from Higashikata Josuke +2121]
[Resentment from Higashikata Josuke +2041]
[Anger from Higashikata Josuke +2088]
During dinner, Higashikata Josuke acted very normal, afraid that his mother would notice anything unusual, but his resentment and anger towards Su Ze never stopped.
And there was no sign of a gradual decrease.
It could basically be confirmed that his desire value was extremely high.
"Although desire value is tempting, don't mess with the child's mindset. Becoming corrupted is definitely not good," Su Ze sighed in his heart.
Being under such high emotional pressure for a long time can easily lead to alienation.
Several of the wings in Hentai World had already become sows, which was regrettable.
And if Higashikata Josuke were to alienate, it would be hard to say what he would become.
Higashikata Josuke quietly ate his rice, tasteless as chewing wax, and just then, a compliment came.
"Josuke, right? Your hairstyle is very handsome."
"Don't think I'll forgive you just by saying such nice words."
The steak-like hair looked amusing, but there was actually a very serious story behind it.
When Higashikata Josuke was a child, he had a high fever, and Oriental Woman drove him to the hospital in the middle of the night through the snow. On the way, the car stalled, and there was no one around.
And at that very moment, a steak-haired boy, covered in wounds, took off his coat and helped start the car.
Since then, Higashikata Josuke has always kept his steak-like hair.
Oriental Woman was a teacher, and she maintained the strictness typical of teachers at home. Seeing her son like this, she frowned and said, "Josuke, speak properly."
"Got it, Mom." Higashikata Josuke looked dejected, like a poor puppy drenched in rain.
[Anger from Higashikata Josuke +888]
At least it wasn't as exaggerated as several thousand points anymore.
After dinner, Oriental Woman went to wash the dishes.
Crazy Diamond reappeared, and Higashikata Josuke clenched his fists, angrily saying, "Who exactly are you, and what means did you use to get close to Mom?!"
Su Ze slowly stood up, his eyes suddenly becoming calm, and his tone cold:
"My name is Su Ze, 18 years old, living in Chiba Ward, Tokyo. Unmarried, but I have many girlfriends."
"Assassin was my former profession, businessman is my current profession. I operate a fighter guild and own one-thirtieth of Japan's wealth."
"I don't smoke, I drink alcohol, and it's normal for me to go without sleep for days."
"I won't die even if I don't eat for a year, but in terms of appetite, I won't lose to anyone either."
"Next, is the main point I want to make...!"
