Suppression

After Shinpachi Shimura got into the elevator, he made no move at all. He did not even wipe the sweat from his forehead; sweating a little in this weather was normal.

Actually, Shinpachi Shimura had worked up that sweat himself, not from nervousness. After all, this was not his first time doing something like this. If he still could not stay calm by now, what the hell was he even doing as an executor?

The elevator arrived on the fifteenth floor. At the time, Tanigawa Rō was discussing plans to make Tae Shimura famous, so he did not notice that Shinpachi Shimura had already arrived on the surveillance feed.

After stepping out onto the fifteenth floor, Shinpachi Shimura stared blankly at the more than ten rooms lining the floor. This company was really huge. What were all these rooms even for?

"Right, now isn't the time to think about that. I think it was Room 01 in Building B." Shinpachi Shimura thought for a moment and headed toward Room 01, passing Rooms 08, 07, and 06 along the way.

Just as Shinpachi Shimura passed Room 05, he suddenly saw a glob of white phlegm on the clean red carpet.

"Disgusting..." Shinpachi Shimura shook his head and kept walking. He soon reached Room 01, but just as he was about to knock, he suddenly realized something.

"Other than my sister, who else would spit phlegm like that?" Shinpachi Shimura suddenly understood. The mark Yang Xiao had mentioned leaving by the door turned out to be that disgusting glob of phlegm.

That was right. It really could have been spat out by his sister, because Tae Shimura had always had that habit. Do not be fooled by how beautiful she was—once, she had spat phlegm directly onto Wu Shiyin's face.

Tsk, tsk. Shinpachi Shimura felt sick just thinking about it. Fortunately, Tae Shimura had never spat phlegm onto his face. What a blessing.

For the moment, though, Shinpachi Shimura did not rush into the office. Instead, he listened to the sounds inside from the doorway.

"Miss Tsukiko, I've already made myself so clear. Is there anything you still don't understand?" Tanigawa Rō was growing impatient. At that moment, he was barely suppressing his desire to get started right away.

Tae Shimura had already examined the room. Rather than an office, it was more like a hotel room. There was a bed, a toilet, and a shower room. Its facilities were basically no different from a hotel's.

Only the desk looked rather out of place. Under normal circumstances, there was no need for a desk to be there at all.

But why was it there?

Obviously, the desk was only there as a cover, just like it was now. Its true purpose was for him to share a bed with women.

That was his ultimate goal. That was why Tanigawa Rō had brought Tae Shimura to Room 05, because Room 01 was the real office, not Room 05.

Disgust showed in Tae Shimura's eyes. She was starting to want to make a move, but Shinpachi Shimura still had not come looking for her. Had he not arrived yet? Had he run into trouble? Or had he failed to see the mark she left?

She should contact Shinpachi Shimura from the restroom first. Tae Shimura stood up and said with a smile, "Mr. Tanigawa, I need to use the restroom first."

After saying that, Tae Shimura headed for the restroom. The moment she entered, Tanigawa Rō grabbed her waist from behind and said impatiently, "Stop pretending to be pure. Once we're done, I guarantee you'll have a limitless future and plenty of exposure on television. You're so beautiful, after all, aren't you?"

"Let go of my sister!"

At that moment, Shinpachi Shimura entered the room carrying takeout. Tanigawa Rō instinctively released Tae Shimura, then turned around and saw Shinpachi Shimura in a delivery uniform. He cursed, "Who the hell are you? How did you get in here?"

Smack!

Tae Shimura kicked Tanigawa Rō in the backside, sending him flying onto the desk. He was completely confused now. What was going on?

"You dare hit me? Do you people even know where you are? Do you know who I am?" Tanigawa Rō climbed off the desk and reached for the alarm button, but Shinpachi Shimura raised his leg and stomped his hand onto the desk.

"Ah!" Tanigawa Rō cried out from Shinpachi Shimura's stomp. Fortunately, the room was well soundproofed, so no one heard him.

"Precisely because we know who you are, we came for you. Is your brain full of nothing but sperm?" Shinpachi Shimura sneered.

Only then did Tanigawa Rō realize that he had been set up. Miss Tsukiko had not really come to their company to become an entertainer. It had all been a trap.

"Hmph. How could I have made it to this position without some tricks of my own?" Tanigawa Rō was no longer panicking. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Since you attacked first, don't blame me for using my Quirk!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tanigawa Rō's face began to change. His skin turned rough, and his teeth became sharp, as though he were about to transform.

Smack! Tae Shimura pressed one hand onto Tanigawa Rō's shoulder, and a stream of white energy suppressed him directly. His transformation had barely begun before it shrank back.

"What is this?" Tanigawa Rō was horrified to discover that he could not transform. It was as if some kind of energy had stopped his transformation.

"We've got a few tricks ourselves. You were far too careless." Shinpachi Shimura laughed, picked up the Sinbok on the desk, took out a cup, and placed it before Tanigawa Rō. "Drink it."

How could Tanigawa Rō not know that something had been mixed into the Sinbok? It was very likely fatal. It was as if this drink had come to claim his life.

"I won't drink it." After saying that, Tanigawa Rō clamped his mouth shut. He had to wait until someone came before he could get out of this. At the moment, no one was likely to come, since it was nighttime. Everyone knew what he usually did at this hour.

He could have left the company early today, but he had held out on the off chance that someone would take the bait. Usually, there would be fish on the hook. Who could have expected that this time it would not be a small fish, but a shark?

"Sis." Shinpachi Shimura looked at Tae Shimura. She immediately slapped Tanigawa Rō across the mouth, forcing it wide open, and it could no longer close.

"Ahhhhhh~" Tanigawa Rō could only make incoherent cries, utterly helpless.

Shinpachi Shimura opened the Sinbok cup and poured it straight into Tanigawa Rō's mouth. After making him drink half a cup, Shinpachi Shimura stopped. He glanced at Tae Shimura, then left the room and headed downstairs.

Tae Shimura released Tanigawa Rō. He collapsed onto the floor like a boneless heap and began convulsing in agony.

Looking at the suffering Tanigawa Rō with an expressionless face, Tae Shimura said, "Perhaps many people want you dead, but most of them have no way to make it happen. So we're fulfilling their wish for them. Subject of execution, Tanigawa Rō!"

The moment Tae Shimura spoke the last word, Tanigawa Rō fell completely silent. She took out her phone and snapped several pictures of his corpse, then messed up the bed and sat on it to wait.
