"Now then, my darling Daiki has a surprise before we order for tonight''s meal!" Mari seemed excited as she spoke on the microphone.


    Daiki also seemed to have a grin on his lips, while he appeared to have made up with Mari, now back to hugging and kissing her as the pair walked along the central stage, which led to table [1] and the ones supporting Daiki Kwon.


    "Oooh?"


    "What could it be?"


    "I wonder..."


    "Niki, I don''t like them... can we go home?"


    "Little beauty, what about the free food?"


    "Ah?!"


    Nikita might be a rich girl, but she seemed to have a strict diet and always came to Niki''s home hungry in the past. That or she just loved to eat food—thus, he could picture her tail wagging right now as she wrapped herself around his arm.


    ''It''s amazing, Niki tamed the beast princess...'' Hana thought to herself, while it seemed her husband and Daewon also thought the same when their eyes met, and everyone grinned.


    "I am sure you are all wondering! Well, let me exin. Thank you, Mari, you are as beautiful as ever."


    Niki leaned back, watching Mari from the corner of his eyes before he said in a deep voice. "Nikita is leagues above her." This momentaryment lingered as Daiki stuttered on the microphone, and Mari also looked shocked.


    If you saw her face, you might have expected her to think Niki would still be in love with her after so many years or something.


    ''Hmph, pretentious waste! Nikita is just a t-chested thug!'' Daiki''s thoughts about Nikita caused her to suddenly scowl and stare daggers at him, causing the pathetic man to shudder and cringe with a slight yelp.


    "Stupid little pussy! Your bitch whore keeps looking at my sexy Niki. Make her stop, or I''ll gouge her eyes and have her fucked by five big wolves!"


    "Huh, Nikita, what did you say?" Hana asked with a question mark over her head. The low voice of Nikita was filled with a thick yet rough dialect that was harsh for even Niki to understand because he only understood R-Empire''snguage at a basic level.


    "Ahem...! Now then, many of you might know mypany, the Kwon Group, recently became the sole trading partner with the Scarlet Group! I have even met the female CEO, and we made a great rtionship—she seems to trust me a significant amount."


    ''Bullshit, that woman only wants blood and money.''


    Niki''s eyes narrowed.


    However, it seemed amusing for him to listen to this. ''Come to think of it, Selene should be close. It''s only been half an hour. Should I invite her?''


    [To Selene (Erotic woman, D-Cups)]


    —Oi, if you want to drink my blood tonight,e to the Imperium hotel room xxx


    I am having a ss gathering, and a clown ims you are REALLY close—that''s quite amazing that you trust him so much.


    Bring Anya. We''ll have a nice evening. There''s free food for her, too.


    [That was quite assertive of you.]


    ''Well, this guy is annoying, though I wonder what gave him the guts to say such a lie. That woman hates men; the only reason she stands me is if my blood makes her climax.''


    [Quite vulgar, but it''s true...]


    "Now then, not only did they offer me a few positions that could be bridged from my side. I might be able to set some of you up with the job of your lives!"


    "OOOH!"


    "What did he say, Niki?" Hana asked with a sweet voice, and Nikita seemed to stare at the microphone, not understanding a single word Daiki Kwon spoke.


    Niki didn''t know if it was on purpose or faulty sound equipment, but he and Nikita could only hear it because of their improved hearing, while the sound cut out for them when Daiki moved away. However, it felt like intentional abuse to him, as Daiki started walking towards table [4] their table!


    "Oh, fuck this guy is on a power trip," Niki muttered under his breath while he seemed to have a slight smile on his face, and he couldn''t wait for the show to start.


    ''Let''s see how the great Daiki Kwon gets turned into a puddle of shit.''


    He felt so confident because she agreed toe. Selene epted his invitation.


    "Hey, Niki, what did he say? Who did he mention?" Nikita asked again, her voice bing more impatient.


    Niki shrugged as he replied. "No idea, Nikita, but it sounded quite dull, something about finding jobs for the little bottom feeders."


    The moment he spoke, once again using the power of his new body to increase the volume just enough with his diaphragm to reach the room, as if he said it by ident.


    "HAH?"


    "What a fucking joke! Why the hell should we listen to him!"


    "Yeah, this is why he''s trying to marry his t-chested bitch so that he can get some money!"


    ''Well, to be expected, Daiki promised a lot of them jobs, though an empty promise, Niki just smirked as Daiki''s face looked victorious as he stood right next to Nikita and began speaking again.


    "Hahaha, ignore our friend. It seems he is a little drunk. So poor and uncultured he cannot afford to drink or go out. Let''s pity our friend. It''s okay, Niki; I will speak with them for you, too! Since we are friends from high school and university!


    We even dated the same woman, hahaha! Like brothers."


    ''Hmmm, he really loves his voice...''


    "Kill..." Nikita''s yandere rating reached over 9000 as Niki was forced to extremes to keep her from raging.


    "Little beauty, don''t mind the words of an idiot."


    "But—"


    "It''s fine."


    "Fine, I''ll forgive him since you say so, but Niki, that little pussy better not do anything stupid." Her cus words slipped back into her difficult-to-understand dialect, but now Niki knew she was saying lewd or dirty words when she did that. So he just flicked her nose and turned to Daiki Kwon.


    "Oh? Then I look forward to your HELP with getting a job there."


    ''I''m sorry, but I doubt you will be going anywhere except the hospital.''


    "Why, of course, Niki, we are all old friends here!" Daiki said with the most disgusting fake smile before he opened his phone and smiled. "Good, she''s here!" He then began to type something before the double doors opened a few momentster.


    There was a buzz of voices and excitement in the room; while Daiki stood near Niki as if he had some kind of n, he nodded to the others at his table several times.


    The table included Kenta Fujimoto, a tall, muscr guy with spiky ck hair... someone who waspetitive and followed Daiki from a young age. One of the many who would gang up to beat or trick Niki in the past.


    A beautiful woman entered, with silver hair and golden eyes, with a ck suit and white shirt. However, Niki recognised her; she was the woman who served Selene!


    Wilhelmina!


    "Madame Wilhelmina! My name is Daiki Kwon. My father is the head of The Kwon family. Thank you for taking the time to visit—my father will definitely send his regards!"


    "Hmmm, I see. I guess the Quon family managed to get the contract."


    "Ahem... it''s Kwon, Madame Wilhelmina."


    "—I see..."


    Niki and many others realised she didn''t seem to have all that much respect for Daiki, and instead, this secretary was in a superior positionpared to the boasting Daiki, who began to offer her some alcohol or drinks.


    It was at that moment that she noticed him elbowing and kicking Niki. "Oh, don''t worry, this scum is someone who climbs into bed with a woman to earn money, too scared to work for real, a true house husband."


    "Not then, about My father! He has managed to boost profits for this quarter by five percent! I believe Miss Selene would be surprised by our improvements so soon!"


    The moment she saw Niki''s faceand his changes, her mouth opened in shock, and she gasped, but Daiki seemed to have thought it was because of his boasting.


    ''Hello, beautiful secretary. Your master ising soon. Stay and enjoy some of the food!'' Niki mouthed to her, causing Wilhelmina''s lips to curl into a smirk as she scoffed.


    However, it sounded likeughter as she winked at Niki.


    [From Selene]


    I''ll be there soon. Stop putting STUPID TAGS ON MY NAME!


    What is erotic and D-cup?! (Angry Dog Emoji x 5)


    Should I tag about the size of your male reproductive organ??


    ''Hahaha, if she wants to. It''s only going to make my pride as the Mushroom King grow!''


    [You two...]


    [To Selene (The Lewd Bloodsucker)]


    —Haha, go for it...


    Call me Mushroom King! (Huge Mushroom Emoji)


    ***


    It as that moment that a twang of pain shot through Niki''s arm, as he felt like something tore it off...


    The beautiful fair fingers of Nikita were holding him tight... Almost crushing his bones as she spoke with a loud voice, ignoring Daiki, who was speaking to the ss and Wilhelmina, who looked bored until hearing Nikita''s voice.


    "Hmm, who is Selene, and what does Mushroom King mean?" Nikita asked, her eyes bing dull.
