Chapter 262: "I Don't Suppose You Want Your Friends to Get Hurt, Do You?"
(T/N: Be careful around here guys, poison going around, 2-3 chapters...)
.....
In this world, the Sakura Islands were under the governance of the Eastern Country, functioning as Sakura Province(Japan). Consequently, when studying history, the curriculum naturally prioritized the Han perspective.
The history of the Eastern Country spanned five millennia, and it was filled with countless heroes! It was only natural that Miku felt such a deep affinity for the ancient emperors and generals.
"If we're talking about historical figures, I like Commander Cao the most," Seito interjected.
"Why Cao Cao?" Miku asked, genuinely puzzled.
"Well, obviously it's because I've inherited the 'Legacy of Wei Wu'!" Seito declared proudly.
The group: "..."
Everyone except Miku, Ako, and Kaguya began to twitch. It wasn't as if they never went online; they knew exactly what the "Legacy of Wei Wu" implied (a popular internet slang referring to Cao Cao's penchant for other men's wives).
"What is the 'Legacy of Wei Wu'?" Kaguya asked subconsciously, her brow furrowed in confusion.
"Ahem." Hayasaka coughed twice and leaned over to whisper something into Kaguya's ear.
A moment later, Kaguya's face flushed red. She glared fiercely at Seito, thinking to herself how utterly shameless he was. Seito, however, remained completely unfazed. If anything, his off-color joke had broken the ice, and everyone quickly grew more comfortable with each other.
An hour later.
Seito lay back, reclining beside Ichika Nakano, and lazily closed his eyes. He truly enjoyed these mundane, daily moments. There was nothing more relaxing than a life like this.
He turned his head toward Ichika, propping himself up on one elbow. "How are your grades?"
"Our grades?" Ichika sighed. "Not great. Our father is planning to find us a private tutor."
"A private tutor?" Seito's eyes lit up. Is the quintuplets' main plot finally starting? "What do you think about me?"
Seito sat up and straightened his clothes. He was incredibly confident in his ability to teach!
"You..." Ichika fell silent. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head. "That depends on what Father decides."
"I see. Where does your father work?" Seito asked.
"Chiba First People's Hospital," Ichika replied.
"Alright, I'll go have a word with your father!" Seito stood up and glanced at the others. "I'll be out for a bit."
With those words, he used Spatial Movement and vanished.
Chiba City, a random street.
Seito, who was on his way to the First People's Hospital, suddenly sensed something. He changed direction and headed toward a nearby alley.
"This is interesting. They finally couldn't help themselves, could they?" Seito chuckled.
Ever since he started walking down the street, he had sensed he was being followed. Thanks to his Spatial Perception, he knew exactly who was tracking him. Without hesitation, he turned into the alleyway.
He stopped at the dead end and turned to face the entrance. "Stop hiding and come on out."
"As expected of the God Domain's #1 player."
Two blonde Caucasians—a man and a woman in casual attire—stepped into the alley. Seito looked at them with genuine curiosity. Foreigners? Following me? It seems the other nations couldn't resist making a move after all.
"So, what do you want?" Seito asked, looking nonchalant.
"Divine God Domain player 'Sei,' real name Seito," the woman started. "We represent the America. We are here to invite you to join our country."
"Join us, and you shall have all the wealth, power, and beauty you could ever desire!" the man added.
Their goal was simple: bring Seito into the America. Only then could they ensure the America maintained its status as the world's hegemon.
"Why on earth would I want to join your America?" Seito laughed with disdain. Was he not comfortable enough in the Eastern Country? What benefit could possibly come from joining them? And even if there were benefits, why would he ever betray his homeland? He was a Eastern Country citizen, through and through, for generations!
(T/N:DAMNN IT DRAGON KINGDOM!!!)
"If you join, I can even be your companion right now..." the man said, gesturing to the woman beside him.
The woman remained expressionless, but Seito keenly caught a flicker of expectation in her eyes.
"And what if I still refuse?" Seito asked with a cheerful smile.
As soon as he spoke, their expressions turned cold.
"Then don't blame us for what happens next." The man responded coldly. He pulled out his phone and opened the photo gallery. "I don't suppose you want your friends to get hurt, do you?"
Seito focused his gaze on the screen.
Kitahara Iori (Class E)
Kinoshita Yuko (Class C)
Ryuen Kakeru (Class B)
Miura Yumiko (Class A)
All four of them were hung up. They didn't seem to be hurt yet, but things were about to change if he didn't comply.
Seito looked genuinely stunned. Are these two morons unaware that I've already ascended to godhood? How could they possibly be this stupid to provoke me?
Of course, they knew about Seito's status. But if Seito didn't join the America, they were dead walking. They were on a suicide mission—success meant everything, failure meant death. That was why they resorted to such a low-level tactic like kidnapping. If the higher-ups in the America wouldn't let them live, then there was no need for those higher-ups to keep living either!
If they were going to die, they might as well go out by infuriating Seito and dragging everyone else down with them.
Seito smoothed his hair back with his right hand, his eyes gradually turning sharp.
"So, this is a threat?" Seito sneered.
"If that's how you want to see it, then yes," the man replied, showing no emotion. "If we die, our people on the other end will receive a signal, and your friends will die along with us."
"Heh." Seito chuckled. "Ignorance is truly fearless!"
With that, he used Spatial Movement, instantly reappearing right in front of the two of them!
His Spatial Perception exploded outward. He locked onto the exact location of Kitahara Iori and the others, and, taking the two kidnappers with him, vanished from the alley in a blink.
