Su Ling'er was a super beautiful woman.
In China, men generally describe beautiful women using the term goddess, a meaning equivalent to prima donna in other countries.
Without a doubt, Su Ling'er belonged to the goddess category in the hearts of many Chinese men, perhaps even becoming the gold standard of beauty that was difficult to match.
Her waist was slender, contrasting with her beautiful and shapely hip curves, creating a sexy silhouette like a white jade statue capable of arousing desire in the blood of any man who looked at her. Her long black hair was neatly tied up, exposing a snow-white neck as graceful as a swan's neck, adding an impression of nobility to her appearance.
However, what made her truly irresistible was her heaven-sent face—perfect proportions, porcelain-smooth skin, arched eyebrows, thin red lips, and a pair of eyes that were clear yet cold.
Cold and indifferent. Su Ling'er had a highly confident nature, typical of a great family heir accustomed to being worshipped and respected. Her view of men—even handsome and wealthy men from equal families—was one of condescension and disdain. She never imagined that one day there would be a man who dared to molest her.
Today, for the first time in her perfect life, the goddess's pride would be demolished by a man she had always looked down upon.
Time Stop was one of the bug-level abilities that could change the course of battle instantly. However, Naoki utilized it for a purpose completely different from battle.
Time Manipulation from Yachiho's «Golden Hour», although very powerful, had quite significant limitations. Naoki could only stop time for a maximum of five seconds, and its effective radius was limited to thirty meters around him.
As a result, people in the shopping mall who were outside that thirty-meter radius only witnessed a strange sight: a group of people suddenly froze in various poses, as if a remote control had been pressed on pause.
Some people blinked, others began taking out their phones and broadcasting the anomalous event directly to social media. Within seconds, videos with titles like "Strange Phenomenon at Beijing Mall" began circulating.
*BUZZ!*
Naoki didn't waste a single second of the five seconds he had.
He opened a black portal right next to Su Ling'er. His body shot in and out in a flash.
This was another very important ability of «Pandemonium»: he could use Peach Blessings from different slots simultaneously. No need to deactivate one to activate another. As long as those slots were filled, he could access them anytime.
Behind him, the golden clock motif was still rotating while in his hand, the black portal was still gaping.
"Excuse me. Allow me to receive your first kiss."
After saying that, he kissed Su Ling'er.
Not a polite kiss on the cheek.
Not a light kiss that just touched lips.
With all his fierceness, Naoki kissed the girl greedily, deeply, and mercilessly. His tongue explored, taking the DNA sample he needed.
And because he intensely disliked this girl's arrogant and condescending attitude, whom he didn't even know personally, but he hated her attitude, his free hand moved to the back.
*SMACK!*
The sound of a hard slap echoed in the silent air.
*SMACK!* *SMACK!*
Two more slaps in the same place.
Su Ling'er's beautiful and shapely buttocks swayed each time they were slapped, receiving punishment from a man whose existence she didn't know.
Five seconds passed.
Time within the thirty-meter radius returned to normal.
"Mhm!!!"
A sound of shocked and angry groaning came from Su Ling'er's lips. Her eyes, which had been cold and indifferent, widened, filled with shock, anger, and humiliation.
She realized she was being forcibly kissed by a mysterious person—his face covered, only his eyes visible.
At the same time, sharp and hot pain spread across her buttocks. Pain from being slapped hard, and shame from being slapped in public.
She tried to resist, pushing Naoki's chest with both her small hands. But her efforts were futile. Her Peach Blessing, «Decimal Point», was not combat-oriented at all. She was pure support, an amplifier, not a fighter. Her physical strength was ordinary.
"Young miss!"
One of the guards recovered from her confusion. Her eyes caught a sight she never imagined would happen: the master she protected was being molested in public by an unknown person!
With an angry roar, Wang Ling shot forward. In her hand, energy began gathering to form a blade of light.
Seeing that, Naoki released Su Ling'er.
The girl stepped back several paces, her breath gasping. Her lips were wet with Naoki's saliva. Her eyes, which had been cold and arrogant, now stared at him with burning hatred, an unquenchable fire of fury.
"Wang Ling!" Her voice trembled, struggling to maintain dignity amid humiliation. "Kill that person!"
"My purpose has been achieved. It's time for me to leave. Goodbye, Miss Su." Naoki said in fluent English.
A black portal opened behind him. With one step backward, his body was swallowed by the spatial vortex.
Wang Ling struck empty air. Her hand only grasped a vanishing shadow.
Gone.
In an instant, the intruder disappeared without a trace.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
In a short time, the news spread like fire in dry grassland.
Su Ling'er, the young lady of the Su Family—one of China's Four Great Families—had been molested in public!
This news not only shook Beijing's upper echelon circles. It also began leaking to social media, although censors quickly acted. But for the upper circles, the news had already spread.
The Su Family was furious.
Humiliated in public, by an unknown perpetrator, with incomprehensible methods.
They deployed all resources to find that mysterious person. Every agent, every connection, every advanced technology would be used.
Unfortunately, they had no clues to the other party's identity.
No clear face (covered).
No recorded voice (only whispers).
No fingerprints (wearing gloves).
The portal disappeared without a trace that could be tracked.
In this world full of superpowers and advanced technology, a phantom that left no traces was the worst enemy even for a great family.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
On the other side, Naoki had teleported back to his temporary residence—the empty house of a Chinese family on Lunar New Year holiday.
As soon as his feet touched the living room's wooden floor, he felt it.
The perfect copying process of «Decimal Point» was complete!
*SRING!*
Behind his back, the Qliphoth Tree diagram manifested spontaneously, pulsing with light stronger than before. One by one, the filled slots began to glow:
Thaumiel—«Ame-no-Mitori».
Chaigidel—«Golden Hour».
Samael—«Crazy Sheep».
Gamchicoth—«Decimal Point».
Four slots were filled. Six other slots were still empty, waiting to be filled with Peach Blessings.
The inverted cross pattern in his pupils and the Qliphoth Tree manifestation slowly faded, returning to the depths of his soul. But that sensation of power remained, pulsing gently.
"«Ame-no-Mitori», «Golden Hour», «Crazy Sheep», and «Decimal Point»" Naoki counted one by one like a collector checking his precious items. "Spatial Manipulation, Time Manipulation, Physical Enhancement, and Amplification."
He smiled with satisfaction.
With one movement, he removed the "Dark Assassin" cosplay costume belonging to the homeowner's son. The black fabric fell to the floor. He folded it neatly and returned it to the closet.
Its owner would probably never know that his chuunibyou costume had been used for a national-level DNA theft mission.
Now, Naoki went downstairs to the kitchen.
His stomach was hungry. Not just because of depleted energy, but also because he wanted to celebrate his success with food!
He opened the refrigerator—there were still some food ingredients left by the homeowners. Eggs, vegetables, noodles. Enough to make simple fried noodles.
While waiting for the water to boil, his thoughts drifted outside. He was sure the authorities were taking massive action to find that mysterious intruder.
Naoki's speculation was correct.
Outside, on the streets and shopping centers, police patrolled strictly. They interrogated anyone suspicious—foreign tourists, youths with hoodies, people carrying large bags. Random identity checks were conducted at several points.
Naoki poured the noodles into the boiling water.
Today was a good day.
Today was a productive day.
And tonight, he would sleep soundly, surrounded by four Peach Blessings shining within his soul, while outside, thousands of people searched for him who never left a trace.
