"He gave him eternal life, made him his diplomatic ambassador, and trusts Kinji Hakari deeply."
"This shows that Kinji Hakari must also be very loyal to him."
Yuki Tsukumo looked up and sighed, "Hakari... he's confused."
"Kinji Hakari is too young and was persecuted by the mainstream Jujutsu world."
"Even Satoru Gojo couldn't give Kinji Hakari justice."
"At this time, the King of Curses stepped in and gave him everything he wanted: power, eternal life, and respect."
"Let alone Kinji Hakari, look at the Jujutsu Higher-Ups; weren't they also seduced into revealing the secret activities between you and me?" Tengen was not surprised by this.
Yuki Tsukumo gritted her teeth.
"It's all because of the current corruption of the Jujutsu Higher-Ups that led to this situation!"
"I used to have an indifferent attitude toward Satoru's ideal of transforming the world because I felt that whether the Jujutsu Higher-Ups changed or not wouldn't affect me."
"But now my attitude has changed."
"From today on, I fully support Satoru!"
"Damn it, the Jujutsu Higher-Ups are not fit for their positions!"
In reality, Yuki Tsukumo was also among those persecuted, but she was lucky because she was strong enough and Tengen also supported her in silence.
The Jujutsu Higher-Ups didn't want to offend both a Special Grade Sorcerer and Tengen at the same time, so they could only back down.
But this didn't mean the Higher-Ups didn't play dirty tricks; it was just that Yuki Tsukumo didn't care at all.
But now it was different.
Someone among the Jujutsu Higher-Ups actually dared to be a spy for the Cursed Spirits!
This enraged Yuki Tsukumo, and she was determined to intervene in this power structure.
She certainly had the qualifications.
"In my memory, you were a very ladylike person," Tengen let out a light chuckle.
"I never thought I'd hear profanity from your mouth."
"It's been how many years now," Yuki Tsukumo exhaled, as if to blow away all her frustration.
"I'm not that little girl anymore."
Yuki Tsukumo really didn't want to talk about this topic.
She was now nearly thirty, and the scars of time were catching up to her, but in front of Tengen, she was still like a child who couldn't grow up.
Back then, her rebellion was just a child's tantrum in Tengen's eyes.
Tengen had tolerated her infinitely.
Thinking back on it now, she only felt embarrassed, as if her dark history had been dug up by a friend, and she couldn't help but want to scream to hide her thoughts.
She changed the subject: "What do you plan to have Satoru say to him?"
"I remember the Kyoto Sister-School Goodwill Event is about to start?" Tengen asked.
"Two weeks left."
Yuki Tsukumo's brow couldn't help but twitch.
Satoru Gojo had dumped all the tracking of the King of Curses onto her because of this event.
Just thinking about it made her angry.
"Have Satoru Gojo call Kinji Hakari and invite him to participate in the Goodwill Event," Tengen said.
"Kinji Hakari shouldn't refuse this, because it doesn't involve the King of Curses; it's just an exchange between teacher and student."
"The King of Curses won't stop it either, because the King of Curses is still wary of Satoru Gojo."
"I can even imagine the King of Curses looking forward to using Kinji Hakari to trade for Satoru Gojo, so he can fight you with all his might without any external interference."
Since Hakari was Satoru Gojo's prized student, Yuki Tsukumo naturally knew information about him.
She nodded slowly: "True."
"If Hakari interferes in my battle with the King of Curses, I would indeed be in some danger."
"I believe the King of Curses will also be wondering if Satoru is following behind me."
"If he can use Hakari to trade with Satoru, it would be beneficial for the self-confident King of Curses."
"He will agree."
"It's best to contact Kinji Hakari now," Tengen said.
"Now?" Yuki Tsukumo frowned, then realized.
"You want to judge the King of Curses' true strength by observing Hakari from the side as much as possible?"
"Since we now know Hakari is the King of Curses' confidant, Hakari must know the true strength of the King of Curses!"
"Even if he can't actively reveal information due to Binding Vows and loyalty, Hakari himself isn't that meticulous of a person."
"His performance and tone will be enough to expose it!"
When it comes to information warfare, these old folks really have a trick or two.
Yuki Tsukumo marveled in her heart.
"Not only that," Tengen said slowly.
"I also want to know to what extent this so-called eternal life can go... especially Kinji Hakari, who has Infinite Cursed Energy."
"Holding both eternal life and Infinite Cursed Energy, how strong is he now... I'm curious."
Yuki Tsukumo understood Tengen's meaning.
The information exposed by the King of Curses about the ability to make people evolve didn't actually get much attention from the Jujutsu world at first.
This was because they actually had similar methods.
In fact, the development of modern medicine has had a huge impact on the Jujutsu world.
Many Jujutsu Sorcerers know exactly where the Innate Technique is inscribed and where the core of Cursed Energy lies; they can understand it directly through medicine.
So "making people evolve" sounds shocking, but that's only for uncultured Curse Users.
For orthodox Jujutsu Sorcerers, it's just a slightly special Cursed Technique, nothing more.
But "eternal life" is different.
This is something of an entirely different level.
Currently, Jujutsu Sorcerers with eternal life almost all pay a huge price, accompanied by massive side effects, including Tengen.
But the King of Curses' "eternal life" is different; it applies to anyone, even ordinary people without Cursed Energy.
It has almost no side effects, or rather, the side effect is that one must be eco-friendly?
After all, as long as the Cursed Energy cycle in the atmosphere doesn't have problems, "eternal life" can be continuous, truly living as long as heaven and earth.
Not only the Jujutsu Higher-Ups, but even Tengen herself is quite curious.
She wants to see a real example, and Kinji Hakari is the best subject for observation.
"Before facing the King of Curses, you want me to have a fight with Hakari?" Yuki Tsukumo asked.
"Yes," Tengen said.
"How about it?"
"I'm looking forward to that very much!" Yuki Tsukumo's mouth curled into a smile.
"I... have long wanted to meet this 'Infinite Cursed Energy' that Satoru always talks about!"
