"I-impossible... you're not... human, you're a de-demon! Yes, you're a demon!"
The gaunt pervert was the most shocked and terrified person at that moment. He knew he had relied on a surprise attack, which a normal person shouldn't have time to react to. The boy in front of him should have been the same, yet the knife, which was clearly only 0.01 cm (exaggerated for effect) from his chest, had mysteriously stopped. No matter how hard he tried to thrust it forward, he simply could not breach that 0.01 cm.
He wanted to pull the knife out and try a different angle, but no matter how hard he pulled, the knife remained motionless, as if held by a hidden ghostly hand. Furthermore, in the very next moment he blinked, the knife that was in his hand had inexplicably appeared in the boy's. Everything was too bizarre, like a horror movie he had seen—both terrifying and unbelievable.
"You must be here to punish me! I was wrong, I shouldn't have molested others! I was wrong! Please spare me! I really was wrong! Hehe, I was wrong, punishment, spare me..."
The gaunt pervert subconsciously associated the boy in front of him with an urban legend. A huge surge of fear shot straight from his lower body to the crown of his head. Countless neurons in his brain secreted massive amounts of neurotransmitters under the stimulation of electrical signals. Before the newly secreted ones could be received, new ones were already being released. His brain was in chaos, like a computer running too many programs at once. He became incoherent, blurting out everything he had ever done.
Ho Fei-yu was completely bewildered. That's all it took? He had only used The Platinum Heart's time-stop twice. He hadn't even unleashed the Ora Ora yet!
Seeing the pervert in a state of madness, Ho Fei-yu had no desire to punish him further. In fact, the moment the pervert stabbed him with the knife, the pervert had signed his own death warrant, for Ho Fei-yu wasn't some kind-hearted male protagonist, but an NTR hunter.
However, seeing the pervert had completely lost his mind, perhaps prison and a mental hospital would be the best punishment for him.
Since the incident occurred within five or six minutes, it hadn't yet reached the railway police. Now, a few officers, having gathered their senses, rushed over and immediately apprehended the habitual offender.
"Heh heh, Ichiro Kameda, you've admitted it yourself. You can't run away this time, can you?"
"He's not human, hehe, he's a demon, he's..."
"What nonsense! Don't think you can pull a fast one again!" One man, wearing a leader's badge and seemingly the captain, grabbed the rambling pervert, a look of excitement on his face.
"May I ask your name?"
"Ho Fei-yu."
"Oh! May I call you Fei-yu-kun?"
"Sure."
"Okay, Fei-yu-kun, thank you for helping us catch this habitual offender. Now that he has confessed..." Ho Fei-yu couldn't be bothered to listen to his rambling and zoned out, as if to say, Why are you talking so much nonsense?
"We hope you can cooperate with us at the final station. We'll need you to give a statement. It will be quick and won't take up much of your time."
"I can do that." Ho Fei-yu, seeing that the man had finally finished, agreed to cooperate.
The train continued for another ten minutes before finally reaching the terminus. Ho Fei-yu and the two girls all disembarked. Ho Fei-yu finished giving his statement to the officers in just a few minutes, while the two girls waited outside.
While Ho Fei-yu was giving his statement, the two girls waiting outside glanced at each other. After all, both were beauties capable of captivating entire nations.
However, Hanasaku Tenkawa only took one look. After all, Ho Fei-yu had risked his life to save her (or so the girl believed). The girl was currently very angry. She felt that Ho Fei-yu was being irresponsible; his own life should always be the priority. She felt both admiration and rage for him for risking his life (or so she believed) to save a stranger. She decided that she would talk to him sternly later and tell him to stop acting like a lone hero.
Reika Kurashiki, on the other hand, scrutinized Hanasaku Tenkawa for a while. She saw that the girl was very young, perhaps only sixteen, but the two large fruits on her chest were wickedly substantial. Although her own were decent, they paled in comparison. A strange expression crossed her face.
"Ho Fei-yu? Is that you, Fei-yu-kun?"
When Ho Fei-yu emerged, Hanasaku Tenkawa didn't rush forward. Instead, Reika Kurashiki, stepping quickly in her black high heels and swaying her graceful waist, walked up to Ho Fei-yu and looked at him.
"Yes?"
"To thank you for your help, I can offer you ¥1,000,000 as compensation. How does that sound?" Reika Kurashiki looked at the boy, who was the same height as her, speaking sincerely. After all, she wasn't short on money. The local Seika Girls' Academy had been co-funded by her and the current principal. Today, on a whim, she had decided to take public transport instead of her favorite Porsche 911, wanting to experience the life of a commoner. She didn't expect to almost be molested by a pervert on her very first try. After this experience, she certainly wasn't planning on taking the train again.
"No need. It was just an act of kindness. Taking money would spoil it, and for me, it was just a small favor." Ho Fei-yu shook his head without hesitation upon hearing the beautiful woman's words. Money was just a number to him. His most important priority now was to complete the System missions. He would truly be thankful if he didn't end up being gender-swapped.
"Alright, then how about this: I'll add your phone number."
"Also, are you free tomorrow? If so, how about I treat you to dinner?"
"Don't refuse. After all, I owe you a favor, and I would feel terrible if I didn't repay it."
"Fine." Ho Fei-yu thought for a moment and finally didn't refuse. It was just one meal, and it didn't matter where he ate.
He gave his phone number to the beautiful woman. After seeing her save it, he left the train station with her.
"Goodbye, Fei-yu-kun. I hope you're free tomorrow." Reika Kurashiki said goodbye to Ho Fei-yu and walked toward a certain area in her high heels. She looked back, noticed that Ho Fei-yu and Hanasaku Tenkawa had disappeared from sight, immediately took out her phone, and dialed a number. In a few seconds, a voice answered on the other end.
"Liliana, call people right now and have them investigate a person named Ho Fei-yu. I want all his details before dinner tonight."
"And, I'm outside a bubble tea shop called Bing Bing near the Panda-themed Zoo station. Come pick me up immediately."
"Yes, the Porsche 911. Hurry up." With that, she hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.
"Heh heh, Ho Fei-yu, is it? I'd like to find out exactly who you are." A look of interest appeared on Reika Kurashiki's cool, beautiful face. She thought about the boy standing in front of her, completely unfazed even when a knife was thrust at him. Furthermore, she distinctly saw the knife aiming for the boy momentarily hover in front of him.
At first, she thought she was mistaken, but now that she was calm, she recalled the look of terror on the pervert's face. Thinking back, she suspected the pervert wasn't terrified because he had injured the boy; it was more likely he had discovered something, otherwise, he wouldn't have gone mad.
Now, the more Reika Kurashiki thought about it, the more she felt her conjecture was correct. It was likely that the boy... possessed abilities beyond ordinary people. Thinking this, she became even more determined to thoroughly understand Ho Fei-yu and uncover his secret. Just as she was deep in thought, a red Porsche 911 pulled up in front of her. The window on the driver's side slowly rolled down, revealing a woman dressed as a white-haired, dark-skinned maid. Although her beauty was not superior to Reika Kurashiki's, the white hair and dark skin had a unique charm.
Reika Kurashiki immediately opened the back door of the Porsche and sat inside. Moments later, the car disappeared.
Meanwhile, Ho Fei-yu and Hanasaku Tenkawa were walking towards the Panda-themed Zoo. However, he noticed something unusual. Although he and the girl had known each other for less than a day, their interactions had been generally pleasant. But now, the girl was constantly trailing behind him, completely unlike their journey to the station where they walked shoulder-to-shoulder. He couldn't understand why.
So, Ho Fei-yu stopped abruptly, and Hanasaku Tenkawa, who was right behind him, crashed straight into his back. Ho Fei-yu could clearly feel the girl's two massive mounds hitting his back, feeling as soft as cotton.
