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

Though speechless, Suguru Geto had already seen through her.

Ronawa did not want to cooperate with him.

But that was not a problem. He had a solution.

Watching Ronawa play dumb, Suguru Geto changed the subject. "Ms. Ronawa, you wouldn't want the higher-ups of Jujutsu Society to learn where you are now, would you?"

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

Ronawa froze.

She had never imagined Suguru Geto could be this shameless.

Are you even human?

She had never expected that one day, this kind of line would be used on her.

But she had to admit, the threat really worked.

Because Ronawa truly did not dare.

Never mind being hunted by the higher-ups of Jujutsu Society.

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

As a Curse Spirit born from the concept of "death," the good news was that her potential was limitless.

The bad news was that everyone knew her potential was limitless.

That alone meant she would never be allowed to grow.

Plenty of people wanted to see her die young.

Even Satoru Gojo had felt the urge to kill her, let alone everyone else.

She would probably get ganged up on by both sides.

The moment Ronawa imagined Satoru Gojo's and Kenjaku's factions taking turns dealing with her alone, she had the urge to flee Japan overnight.

And from Ronawa's expression,

Suguru Geto knew he had successfully "moved" her.

Who said threats could not move people?

Looking at Suguru Geto's expression, as though he had her completely figured out,

Ronawa had to admit that he had her pinned down.

She no longer felt like pretending to be crazy or playing dumb with him.

Her expression turned serious, her golden eyes locked tightly onto 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 quite intimidating.

But Suguru Geto did not back down.

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

He was certain that Ronawa could do nothing to him right now.

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

After all, the thing that should never be looked at directly in this world was called the human heart.

As long as Ronawa came to understand and witness the ugliness of human nature,

Suguru Geto was confident he could make her hate humanity.

Wouldn't everything fall into place then?

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

They naturally had no favorable impression of humans.

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

She was only with Satoru Gojo right now, so her innate hatred for humanity had yet to be awakened.

With just a little guidance, would it not come naturally?

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

If he had known that beneath Ronawa's appearance as the Death Curse Spirit was 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 ultimately the one to break it.

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

The pressure and killing intent in her golden eyes instantly became clear and gentle.

"Then how should we cooperate?"

Though Ronawa wanted to put up a tougher front.

So what if the entire Jujutsu Society chased her down? Who was afraid of whom?

Unfortunately, she did not have the strength to back it up.

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?

Was it not tradition for a Special-Grade Curse to follow Suguru Geto?

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

Was it not tradition?

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

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

Though there was a trace of speechlessness in his smile.

He had not expected the Death Curse Spirit to be this mischievous.

And her intelligence was unexpectedly high.

Normally, Curse Spirits were rather stupid.

The Four Great Calamities, for example, were classic examples.

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

But when Suguru Geto considered Ronawa's origins, he understood.

She was the Death Curse Spirit, after all.

It was only natural for her to be intelligent.

After a friendly and constructive discussion,

Suguru Geto and Ronawa finally reached 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 she witnessed dying, the faster Ronawa's strength would improve.

What Suguru Geto needed Ronawa to do was simple.

She only needed to act when necessary.

For example, when they encountered Satoru Gojo.

That would be hard to handle.

Even so, Ronawa agreed.

Because she had no other choice.

Who told her she was a Curse Spirit?

This was the status of Curse Spirits in this world.

Everyone wanted to beat them up. Whoever saw one wanted to kick it.

Calling them roadside filth would not even be enough; they were practically worms crawling and wriggling on the ground.

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

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

But for now, she could only accept it.

"What are you doing?"

After reaching their agreement, Ronawa began packing her belongings.

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

Seeing this, Suguru Geto was somewhat confused.

He could not help asking.

Ronawa was confused too. "Aren't I following you from now on?"

"I'm packing."

"This stuff is pretty expensive."

Suguru Geto could not help rubbing his forehead.

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

"Besides, if you suddenly disappear, it'll only make 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, Satoru Gojo would probably turn Japan upside down looking for her.

Besides, there was another advantage 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 an informant.

She immediately said 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. 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 changed.

So he was loaded?

Thinking about it carefully, he really was.

Suguru Geto was the leader of an evil cult.

Just relying on the contributions of his followers, money would pour in from every direction.

How could he possibly be short of money?
