You wouldn't want your identity exposed, would you?

Although he was speechless, Suguru Geto had already seen through her.

Ronawa did not want to cooperate with him.

But that was no problem. He had his ways.

Watching Ronawa play dumb, Suguru Geto changed tack. "Ms. Ronawa, you wouldn't want the Jujutsu Higher-Ups to find out where you are right now, would you?"

"You wouldn't want anyone else to know where you came from either, would you?"

Ronawa froze on the spot.

She had never imagined Suguru Geto could be this despicable.

Are you even human?

Nor had she ever imagined that one day, this kind of line would be used on her.

But she had to admit, the threat was genuinely effective.

Because Ronawa truly did not dare.

Never mind being hunted down by the Jujutsu Higher-Ups.

Just having her identity and background exposed would lead to extremely serious consequences.

A Curse Spirit born from the concept of "death" came with limitless potential—that was the good news.

The bad news was that everyone knew she had limitless potential.

On that point alone, they would never let her grow.

There were plenty of people who wanted her to die young.

Even Satoru Gojo had developed killing intent toward her, let alone everyone else.

She would probably get beaten up by both sides in turn.

Just imagining the two major factions of Satoru Gojo and Kenjaku taking turns dealing with her alone—

Ronawa felt the urge to run away overnight and flee Japan.

And from Ronawa's expression—

Suguru Geto knew he had successfully "moved" her.

Who said threats did not count as moving someone?

Looking at Suguru Geto's expression of complete confidence—

Ronawa had to admit that he really had her in his grasp.

She no longer had any desire to play dumb with him.

Her casual expression turned serious, her golden eyes fixed tightly on Suguru Geto.

She calculated the chances of killing him right now.

Suguru Geto sensed Ronawa's killing intent as well.

He had to admit, it did make him a little uneasy.

When Ronawa got serious, she was genuinely intimidating.

But Suguru Geto did not back down.

No matter how monstrous Ronawa was, there was no way she had grown strong enough to kill him in such a short time.

He was certain that Ronawa could not do anything to him right now.

And as long as Ronawa compromised, he was confident he could persuade her to join his plans.

After all, the one thing in this world that could not be looked at directly was the human heart.

As long as Ronawa came to understand and witness the ugliness of the human heart—

Suguru Geto was confident he could make her hate humanity.

Then, would everything not fall into place naturally?

After all, Curse Spirits themselves were born from humanity's negative emotions.

They were naturally inclined to dislike humans.

In Suguru Geto's eyes, Ronawa was no different.

It was only because she was currently with Satoru Gojo that her innate hatred for humanity had yet to be awakened.

With just a little guidance, would that not be perfectly natural?

Of course, that was because Suguru Geto had not realized Ronawa was a transmigrator.

If he had known that beneath Ronawa's Death Curse Spirit exterior hid a soul that had once been human—

He would never have done this.

Unfortunately, he did not have that information.

After a brief silence, Ronawa was the one who finally broke the stillness.

Looking at the utterly fearless Suguru Geto, Ronawa took a deep breath, and her expression changed.

The pressure and killing intent in her golden eyes instantly turned into clarity and gentleness.

"So, how should we cooperate?"

Ronawa wanted to put up a tougher front.

What was so scary about being hunted by the entire Jujutsu Society? Who was afraid of whom?

Unfortunately, her ambitions exceeded her capabilities.

She simply was not strong enough.

So she could only compromise.

Was it not just cooperating with Suguru Geto and causing trouble alongside him?

So what?

As a Special-Grade Curse, was following Suguru Geto not tradition?

Never mind whether it was Suguru Geto with stitches across his forehead or Suguru Geto without them.

Tell her, was it not tradition?

Ronawa was merely doing what a Curse Spirit was supposed to do.

Seeing Ronawa change her face in an instant, Suguru Geto smiled as well.

Though there was a hint of speechlessness in that smile.

He had not expected a Death Curse Spirit to be so mischievous.

And her intelligence was unexpectedly high.

Generally speaking, Curse Spirits were rather stupid.

The Four Calamities were typical examples.

They had actually been led around by the nose by Kenjaku.

But when Suguru Geto thought of Ronawa's origins, he felt relieved again.

She was a Death Curse Spirit, after all.

High intelligence was only natural.

After a round of friendly and constructive negotiations—

Suguru Geto and Ronawa finally came to an agreement.

Suguru Geto would do his best to help Ronawa grow stronger and take her to witness more deaths.

Especially the deaths of sorcerers and Curse Spirits.

The more powerful the individuals whose deaths Ronawa witnessed, the faster her strength would grow.

What Suguru Geto needed Ronawa to do was simple.

She only needed to act when necessary.

For example, when they encountered Satoru Gojo.

That was really hard to take.

Even so, Ronawa agreed.

Because she had no other choice.

Who told her she was a Curse Spirit?

That was the status of Curse Spirits in this world.

Everyone hated them and wanted to kick them whenever they saw one.

They could not even be compared to something by the roadside—they were more like maggots crawling and writhing on the ground.

If Ronawa wanted to change that situation, she could only wait until she had grown stronger.

Only then could she raise the status of Curse Spirits in this world.

But for now, she could only accept her loss.

"What are you doing?"

After reaching their agreement, Ronawa began packing her belongings.

She prepared to take some clothes, electronic devices, and the indispensable cash with her.

Seeing this, Suguru Geto was somewhat puzzled.

He could not help asking.

Ronawa was confused too. "Am I not following you from now on?"

"I'm packing my things."

"These things are quite expensive."

Suguru Geto could not help rubbing his forehead.

"No need. I'll come find you whenever you have time. You do not need to stay with me all the time."

"Besides, if you suddenly disappear, it will only make that guy Satoru Gojo suspicious."

Why had Suguru Geto come to find Ronawa while Shoko Ieiri was at work?

Was it not because he did not want to attract attention?

If Ronawa left with him, would Satoru Gojo not turn all of Japan upside down looking for her?

Besides, there was another benefit to letting Ronawa remain here.

She could gather information about Satoru Gojo.

Know yourself and know your enemy.

Ronawa understood too. So he wanted her to be a traitor.

She immediately declared righteously, "You want me to betray Satoru Gojo?"

"You should know that Satoru Gojo is my benefactor. He even treated me to a meal."

"You care about that?"

Suguru Geto looked suspicious. No matter how he looked at her, Ronawa did not seem like a Curse Spirit with principles.

Sure enough, the next second, she said, "What I mean is, you need to pay more!"

After a moment of silence, Suguru Geto silently took out a bank card.

"There are fifty million yen in here. Use it for now."

Ronawa leaned back, and the way she looked at Suguru Geto completely changed.

So he was loaded?

Thinking about it carefully, he really was loaded.

Suguru Geto was the leader of a cult.

Just living off the offerings from his followers was enough for money to pour in from every direction.

How could he not have money?
