Sugou Nobuyuki spoke, coming up to Roa with a beaming smile, "Hello, little brother. My name is Sugou Nobuyuki, and I'm the director of the research institute."
At this point, Roa looked at Shouzou Yuuki, who was standing behind him, not saying a word. Shouzou Yuuki's eyes flickered, and he nodded slightly, "He's the son of one of my favorite subordinates. He's been like family to me since before."
"Oh," Roa said blandly. Roa saw the unnaturalness on Shouzou Yuuki's face and didn't want to say anything more.
Neither Roa nor Shouzou Yuuki were in a good mood right now, but Sugou Nobuyuki, without any self-awareness, mentioned, "By the way, President, about that matter—"
Sugou Nobuyuki trailed off, turning his gaze to Shouzou Yuuki and asking, "I was wondering if we could officially decide on it next month?"
That matter.
Roa was expressionless. The matter he was referring to was naturally marrying Asuna Yuuki.
Mentioning this matter, the expressions on everyone's faces became even more gloomy.
At the same time, the atmosphere became strange.
Sugou Nobuyuki was a shameless person, but he keenly sensed the change in the atmosphere. His expression froze.
Sugou Nobuyuki wasn't a fool. He keenly noticed that everyone's attitude towards him had changed significantly.
His smile gradually faded, and he looked at Roa with a dark gaze. He didn't stop questioning but said in a deep voice, "Wasn't it already agreed upon?"
Shouzou Yuuki chuckled, "—Is that so? But are you really willing? You're still so young, you have a great future ahead of you…"
Responding to Shouzou Yuuki was Sugou Nobuyuki's seemingly sincere words, "My feelings have never changed. While Asuna is still so beautiful… I want to quickly see her in a wedding dress."
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
In the silence, Roa let out a somewhat disdainful snort.
"Tch."
This sound was like dropping boiling oil into water, instantly creating huge ripples.
Sugou Nobuyuki's eyes turned cold, and the smile on his lips finally disappeared. He turned his gaze to Roa.
What he saw was a young man who was unbelievably handsome.
The young man was so handsome, with golden hair and golden eyes, his long hair casually tied behind his head. Sunlight streamed in from the French windows, shining on Roa's handsome face.
However, at this moment, Roa's lips were curled into a faint sneer.
For some reason, when Sugou Nobuyuki saw this face, a surge of uncontrollable anger rose within him.
His eyes were dark, and he tried his best to say in a calm voice, "You just, seemed to have clicked your tongue just now."
Roa raised an eyebrow, looking at the young man in front of him. Roa smiled mockingly, "So what if I did?"
The disgust in his eyes was undisguised, as if he were looking at some scum.
Sugou Nobuyuki was silent for a long time. He forced a smile and said, "Little brother, it's not very polite to talk like that."
Roa looked around at the Yuuki family and said casually, "You're going to entrust Asuna to someone like this? What a failure."
"Forget it, all of you go out. Let me talk to Sugou Nobuyuki alone."
The others exchanged glances, but no one spoke. They stood there without moving.
Sugou Nobuyuki sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't understand where this feeling of unease was coming from.
He was a smart person, and also a greedy person, but he was confident that as long as his actions weren't investigated carefully, no one would know.
But at this moment, the Yuuki family's cold attitude and the appearance of this young man gave Sugou Nobuyuki a strong sense of unease.
Seeing that no one in the room was moving, Roa's tone became harsher. Roa repeated expressionlessly, "Get out."
This time, the young man's golden pupils swept over everyone in the room, his tone forceful and domineering. Roa had always been this kind of person.
The Yuuki family exchanged glances. Asuna's older brother was the first to speak, "Let's go out first. After all, as family members, we have indeed been too much of a failure."
After speaking, he pulled Kyouko Yuuki and walked towards the outside.
Shouzou Yuuki took a deep look at Roa. As an experienced old man, he could clearly sense the coldness in Roa's tone.
Shouzou Yuuki didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
In the room, only Roa, Sugou Nobuyuki, and Asuna, who was lying in bed, remained.
After everyone had left, Roa directly locked the door and used magic to isolate the room, preventing any sounds from attracting attention.
When Sugou Nobuyuki saw Roa lock the door, he already knew that something was wrong.
Sugou Nobuyuki pretended to be calm and said, "Little brother, what do you want to say?"
Roa smiled and said, "Now you should ask, what do I want to do."
Roa slowly walked up to Sugou Nobuyuki. The tall and thin man was a head shorter than Roa.
Looking into those golden eyes, Sugou Nobuyuki felt a chill.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and Sugou Nobuyuki felt his lips were dry because he actually felt a strong sense of oppression from the young man in front of him.
A bad feeling gradually rose, but under this pressure, the fear in Sugou Nobuyuki's heart turned into madness.
He tore off his disguise, revealing the ugly face beneath the mask.
In his long eyes, the small pupils revealed a fierce look, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a smile.
Sugou Nobuyuki stared intently at Roa's light golden eyes, forced a slightly crazy smile, and said directly, "I heard you lived with Asuna in the game?"
Roa sighed. He didn't need to think about what would be said next; he knew it would be disgusting and trashy words. Not wanting to let Sugou Nobuyuki's garbage talk affect his mood, Roa suddenly acted, grabbing Sugou Nobuyuki's neck. A huge force came, and the terrifying power directly lifted Sugou Nobuyuki off the ground.
Sugou Nobuyuki desperately grabbed Roa's left hand, and his hands began to struggle. He felt that he couldn't breathe. Soon, a strong sense of suffocation turned Sugou Nobuyuki's face red. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Roa remained expressionless, lifting him up and letting Sugou Nobuyuki struggle wildly in his hands. Roa remained unmoved.
Roa remained expressionless, but said mockingly, "Who gave you the courage to stand in front of me and say these things?"
Roa's right hand continued to exert force, and a red handprint quickly appeared on Sugou Nobuyuki's neck.
He wanted to struggle, but he couldn't move at all. This huge force was far beyond Sugou Nobuyuki's imagination. That hand was like an iron clamp, tightly
Until the other party's face began to turn pale, and the strength of his struggle began to gradually weaken, Roa finally let go.
Sugou Nobuyuki's body slammed to the ground. He gasped for breath, staring at Roa with a look of anger, and said angrily, "You bastard, I'm going to call the police. How dare you hit someone?"
Hearing this, Roa smiled. Roa bent down, reached out and patted Sugou Nobuyuki's cheek, and said with some pity, "Oh, is that so?"
Sugou Nobuyuki said sternly, "I'm going to make you spend the rest of your life in prison. After I get married, I will"
"You're still talking about Asuna? Why are you in such a hurry to die?"
Roa's tone became cold.
And the next moment, black magic threads began to emerge around Roa, gathering around him.
Sugou Nobuyuki looked terrified, looking at the black threads that appeared around Roa, feeling extremely strange.
He was an ordinary person. There were no superpowered people in this world. Ordinary people, of course, had never seen Roa's methods.
"What, what is this?"
Sugou Nobuyuki didn't dare to approach Roa. He kept backing away, and soon bumped into a small table in the corner. The kettle on the table fell on Sugou Nobuyuki's head, and the hot water in the kettle spilled out, pouring down on Sugou Nobuyuki's forehead. In an instant, Sugou Nobuyuki let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Friends who have been burned often know that burns can be quite troublesome if not treated in time.
Sugou Nobuyuki screamed and fell to the ground, struggling and rolling. Roa pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh my, Mr. Sugou, what's wrong?"
Roa picked up the kettle of hot water from the ground, opened the lid and looked at it. There was still half of the hot water left inside, steaming.
Roa looked at the hot water in the kettle, then looked at Sugou Nobuyuki, who was lying on the ground screaming and struggling, picked him up, and then aimed at Sugou Nobuyuki's head and poured it down hard.
The hot water wet Sugou Nobuyuki's hair, and Sugou Nobuyuki let out another scream. The steaming hot water continued to rise. After Roa poured all the hot water in the kettle, he shrugged and threw the kettle aside.
Sugou Nobuyuki covered his face, groaning in pain.
"Well, forget it. There's no point in torturing you, a mortal."
The young man seemed to feel a little bored and spat out these words.
Sugou Nobuyuki, who was lying on the ground, was now unable to care about what the young man was thinking. He already regretted provoking the seemingly gentle young man in front of him.
Sugou Nobuyuki didn't expect that Roa would do such crazy things.
No mysterious power, no magic, this world is just an ordinary world.
And in this world, when everyone is an ordinary person, the law is above everyone's head. No matter who it is, if they want to do something out of line, they have to weigh whether they will touch the bottom line of the law.
For example, Sugou Nobuyuki, he naturally knew that what he was doing was a crime, but so what? As long as he wasn't caught, the so-called law was just a formality.
And now Roa is another kind of person who exists outside the law.
Roa is not an ordinary person, he has extraordinary power.
In this world full of ordinary people, it is enough to be called invincible.
Unless a nuclear bomb washes the ground, and the climate temperature reaches 8,000 degrees Celsius, otherwise, in Roa's current state, he can walk sideways.
Then at this time, Roa can ignore the so-called law.
After all, the law is to restrain ordinary people and suppress the greed and evil in people's hearts.
Once a group of special people appear in this world, the so-called law will collapse.
This is why the apocalyptic novels that Roa watched in his previous life, the law would be disintegrated in the later stages, and the world would become a mess.
And right now, Roa is crossing the law and starting to do what he wants to do.
After all, if Roa has such strong strength and still honestly follows the so-called rules, that is stupid, pedantic, and doesn't know how to adapt.
The magic-transformed threads instantly penetrated Sugou Nobuyuki's body. The black threads took root in Sugou Nobuyuki's skin, and the threads twisted, following the blood vessels on the skin and began to spread continuously, and soon climbed to the position of the heart.
This is actually the [Magic Seed].
It is so easy to use the magic seed on ordinary people, you don't need too many things at all, just simply hook your fingers, you can control the other party's life in your palm, the so-called life and death are all in Roa's mind.
After doing all this, Sugou Nobuyuki, who was originally struggling on the ground, stopped moving.
The glasses fell to the ground, and the lenses were shattered all over the place. Sugou Nobuyuki looked at the ceiling blankly, drooling from the corners of his mouth, looking completely broken.
Roa smacked his tongue and said, "Can't you stand it with just this?"
Sugou Nobuyuki's gaze shifted slightly, as if he heard Roa's words, but at this moment, he looked completely exhausted and unable to move.
Roa came in front of Sugou Nobuyuki and kicked him with his foot in disgust, like a young thug bullying someone.
Roa smirked and said with a smile, "Well, you're really something, daring to steal my wife. I don't know what to say."
Bearing the title of the world's strongest and the second sword god among the Seven Great Powers, this was the first time Roa had encountered something so ridiculous.
In the world of Mushoku Tensei, basically everyone would avoid him. Even the Asura Kingdom, known as the world's greatest power, had its dynasty changed directly due to Roa's iron-fisted suppression, with a group of nobles not daring to utter a fart. Yet, this person in front of him was capable of doing such a thing.
If the nobles in the Asura Kingdom knew about this, they would probably laugh out loud.
"Forget it, just obediently accept your punishment and then die quietly. As for the rest, you don't need to worry about it. Originally, I wanted to break your limbs, then use healing magic to restore you, and then break your limbs again, repeating this process."
At this point, Roa leaned down and patted Sugou Nobuyuki's cheek. Sugou Nobuyuki trembled upon hearing this, a chill running down his spine.
This guy in front of him could say such vicious things so calmly.
