The Golden Watch Of Hypnosis - Chapter 34
Tenshi stopped in front of the park’s gate and pulled out his phone, then, he randomly started to browse the internet.
But before that, Tenshi smiled and slightly bowed at an old man standing beside the gate; it was the security guard oba-san.
“Hey oba-san!”
Tenshi said while looking at the man by the gate wearing a blue uniform, an old and kind looking oba-san.
As it was noon, the sunlight was shining more brighter that before; it was fully illuminating the surroundings and melting the patience of the people as the security guard by the gate wiped his forehead.
Hearing someone call for him, a tired yet attentive look appeared on the security guard as he turned around and looked at Tenshi, however he couldn’t recognize him.
Kaga felt a bit confused.
Who was this, prim and proper looking man in a business attire? Kaga, the security guard, couldn’t recognize him. Yes, the man somewhat looked like a boy he knew but the boy was more plumper than this man, furthermore, he also wasn’t this evil and rougish looking.
Seeing the confusion on the oba-san’s face, Tenshi chuckled. Of course the oba-san should be confused, otherwise, he would be the one being confused if the old man could recognize him even though his face and body changed so much in a day.
“It’s me oba-san, Tenshi! ”
“Oh, kid, so you’ve slimmed down eh? ”
The oba-san’s eyes started to glitter as he looked at Tenshi from top to bottom, then he gave him a thumbs up sign.
After a bit of small talk, Tenshi excused himself and went inside the park.
Tenshi’s shoes made a slight noise as he walked towards the bench closest to the gate in the park, after all, he had to wait for that car right?
The park was very well maintained, it’s bushes and trees were of an ideal height and didn’t block out the sun unless a certain spot was specially designed for giving shade.
The sunlight shined on Tenshi as he grimaced, why did he dress up in this heavy businessman attire? That too in this heat? Also, isn’t Japan supposed to be always cool and lukewarm?
Tenshi chuckled, of course, he doesn’t do things without an objective, otherwise he would’ve just dressed up in a t-shirt or something.
After a while of searching the surroundings, Tenshi found a spot surrounded by medium level bushes and trees, providing complete shade in the furious sunlight emitted by the sun.
The bench however, was being held by a small boy that looked to be of 11-12 years old.
Tenshi smiled. He would just sit on the bench for a while then leave, furthermore, it was just a kid, it wasn’t as if the kid was an enormous fatty who needed the whole bench to himself.
But before that, Tenshi stood in his tracks and took a final look at the phone in his hand. The phone’s screen was filled with news articles.
It was just one of his habits, every time when noon struck, he would check the news.
‘Pharmaceutical giant Nephra has successfully acquired rival drug company HF for 10.4B$’
Tenshi rolled his eyes, what did this have to do with him? He could care less if some pharmaceutical company bought another one and jacked up prices like a jackass.
Tenshi considered hypnotizing the shareholders of big companies and transferring their shares to his own namefor a cent per share of course. Otherwise, shares that are gifted or sold without payment have humongous tax associated with them.
He scrolled down.
‘Share prices of Amaryllis Engineering Corporation fell after the a class action lawsuit was filed against it’s CEO. ‘
Tenshi cackled. This company’s CEO will fall naturally even if he doesn’t intervene.
The following news articles however, didn’t provide him with any sort of news or information that he cared about. Tenshi checked the battery percentage of the phone and put it into his pocket.
20% usage after an hour of use? He needed to buy a new one after he receives the money and his plans regarding some investors succeed.
Tenshi was greedy for power and money, not for himself but for the revenge of his mother, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to find out who killed her.
Tenshi calmly smiled and walked towards the bench, as the bench was at his front direction, all he could see was that the boy’s head was slightly bent down, nothing more.
Hearing someone’s footsteps, the boy turned around and looked at Tenshi.
The boy was simple yet decently dressed, his clothes were slightly rough to the eyes meaning that they were probably worn out. The boy’s face however, was extremely ordinary, plus he was wearing glasses. Nonetheless, they boy was quite easy to his eyes.
However, the boy’s face right now was stained with tears as his eyes were filled with sadness, the boy cried so much that his glasses were drenched.
Seeing that it was someone unknown to him, the boy disappointedly grinned and turned back towards the direction he was facing earlier.
Tenshi seeing this felt a bit weird. Kids cry all the time butwithin this particular kid’s eyes, he could see something familiar.
A deep hatred for everything, hidden perfectly under a sea of agnoy.
[Huh?!)
<what?></what?>
[This kidthis kid is a bounty chest!]
Hearing the voice in his head, Tenshi smiled and looked at the boy with interest.
Tenshi right now had a somewhat great amount of trust on the facts and things the voice in his head spat out so he didn’t doubt it .
Tenshi felt that the voice in his head was trustable, even though it’s advices were all out of it’s lust for it’s memories of it’s former life, it wouldn’t betray him, otherwise, it would forever have to deal with it’s memory loss.
[This kid is associated with a hidden quest!!]
[Yes, even though I don’t know the objectives and goals of the hidden quest associated with this kid. I can surely say that every single hidden quest has great rewards!]
This all sounded great on paper but
Tenshi felt confused. If he didn’t know what he needed to do to complete this quest, what the fuck will he do then?
<wait, the=”” kid=”” is=”” crying,=”” meaning=”” that=”” something=”” grave=”” has=”” happened=”” to=”” him,=”” furthermore,=”” he=”” isn’t=”” at=”” home=”” but=”” crying=”” here,=”” his=”” parents=”” haven’t=”” died=”” personal=”” him.=”” if=”” matter=”” could’ve=”” been=”” shared=”” with=”” a=”” parental=”” figure,=”” then=”” would=”” go=”” straight=”” mother,=”” this=”” can’t=”” tell=”” anyone=”” himself!=””></wait,>
[Congratulations! You Have Gained +0.2 Intelligence.]
Tenshi felt a cool swirl of energy on his mind as he felt as if a huge rock was lifted from his head; right now, his brain felt as if it was a bottle of coke and the cap was lifted off, his smartness instantly broke through it’s previous limits.
[Congrats for successfully deducing some clues about the quest!]
[Go on, talk to him.]
Tenshi licked his dry lips and walked towards the bench, his legs wafted through the bushes as he sat down on the bench. His legs automatically started to assemble a power posture as his right leg was now resting on top of his left leg, making his evil businessman aura increase like a gush of water released after a dam was broken through.
Tenshi seeing this rolled his eyes, yes, he didn’t do it purposely. It was simply one of his habits, a so called habit formed from mingling with the high society back when he was still in the Capital.
“*Sniff* *Sniff*”
The kid ignored him and cried, buried in his own world. The boy was sitting on the left side of the bench with his arms and head resting on top of the armrest.
Tenshi felt a weird resonance coming from the boy; no, it wasn’t those vibrations made from Qi but a certain resonance coming from deep within his soul.
A sharp gaze was emitted from Tenshi’s eyes as he adopted a friendly smile and put his hands on top of the boy’s shoulder.
“Kid, what’s your name? ”
” ”
Tenshi nudged the boys shoulder once again as the boy gulped and raised his head from his arms.
“Sora Airi. ”
[Why does his name remind me of a certain Protagonist from an incest hentai?]
The boy replied with a polite tone while wiping his face clean.
“Hmmm, sora eh? What is a nice kid like you doing here crying?”
Tenshi asked with the kindest and friendliest face he could make. Even though it was quite unnatural, his acting skills were still top notch meaning that it should be easy to dupe a kid.
” ”
“Oh come on, think of me as your brother. I’m concerned for you. You can vent all you want to me, I’ll listen. ”
Tenshi said while smiling with his eyes closed, a perfect gesture of friendliness. Furthermore, his hands gently rubbed Sora’s shoulders, making his apprehension lessen with each second.
Tenshi was a natural manipulator.
The boy hesitated, but after seeing Tenshi’s weirdly charismatic and kind appearance his apprehension melted.
Tenshi smiled. Kids, no matter how mature, were easy to dupe with even the smallest amount of sweet talking.
“Nii-chan, can I call you niichan mister? I I’ve never had an elder brother before. ”
The boy smiled, goosebumps in his skin as he regretted not having a brother; he had a sister buthe couldn’t tell her all could he?
“Of course. Vent all you want, elder brothers are always there for their little brothers. ”
Taking use of the opportunity, Tenshi said, his eyes constantly changing emotions like how politicians changed sides.
“Thanks nii-chan, I’ve always wanted an elder brother to whom I can always tell everything to. ”
The boy sighed and looked at an empty spot in the park.
“Nii-chan, have you ever felt that awkward moment when you think you’re the entire world to someone and you find out that you’re not ?… ”
Hearing this, Tenshi’s aura changed in a second as he grinned psychotically. This reminded him of a recent incident he came upon a day ago.
Yes, Tenshi did feel this emotion. He hated himself for believing that he was the world to someone when he was in reality, not even close.
Nonetheless, his expression turned friendly the next second as he looked at the same spot where the boy was looking at.
Turns out, the spot which he defined as an empty spot surrounded by bushes wasn’t as empty as he thought as a brown haired boy and a girl the same age as the boy beside him were sitting on the ground; the girl giggled as she hugged the boy while the boy also laughed.
Tenshi suddenly chuckled as the boy looked at him in confusion; then disappointment. He thought that
Why was everyone in this world so disappointing? Sora trusted this guy and he laughed at his situation.
“I’ve been in a similar situation recently Sora-kun. ”
Tenshi stopped chuckling as his gaze turned incomparably sharp and twisted. However, his sympathy for Sora increased.
After all, who wouldn’t feel sympathetic about a person who had been in the same situation as they had been in recently?
“So, Sora-kun. What’s your story? ”
Tenshi had the basic grasp of the story yet asked, what if the guy was his girlfriend and the girl stole him from Sora?
“The love of my life was stolen; in front of me.”
The boy said while his throat let out deep guttural voices, meaning that he had been probably crying for a lot more time than Tenshi thought.
“So, did she love you or is your love for her one sided?”
Tenshi calmly asked.
“We both loved each other.”
“Who’s the new guy? ”
“The most handsome and brilliant boy of our class, furthermore, he’s rich… ”
The last word seemed to have been spat out with disgust.
“Is his attitude bad or polite like yours? ”
“Bad. He is a douchebag and treats everyone like trash. ”
“How long did it take for her to fall for him? ”
” Aa week. ”
The boy said while putting both of his hands on his chin, supporting his weak with heartache neck.
Hearing the boy’s low volume voice, Tenshi laughed.
“Then, why are you looking so pathetic? ”
“Huh, n-niichan?”
Tenshi calmly laughed and fixed his suit.
“That girl was never good for you from the first place.”
“I mean, I don’t know if you’ll understand this but she’s the type of girl that’ll open her legs to anyone. Which is evident by the fact that she fell out of love with you in just a week. ”
“I understand niichan ”
“Well ”
“No matter how bad one is, no one falls out of love in a week. She was either never in love with you in the first place or god forbid; hanging out with you because you were rich or socially popular. ”
” I’m not rich nor am I popular. ”
“Well, I can’t say anything before listening to how she met the guy beforehand. ”
“Niichan erm she met him while she and I were going to our village by train. ”
“I haven’t told it to you neechan but she and I are childhood friends and always stood by each other. ”
“I don’t understand, why did she fall in love with that douchebag? At first, she was angry over how arrogant he was but later when she repeatedly came in contact with him, she started to melt. I didn’t realize she fell in love with him until I mistakenly came here and saw these two kissing each other! ”
The boy banged his fist on the bench’s armrest, visibly angry more than sad.
“I never saw her like this! The playful and always bold girl I knew since childhood became bashful and shy in front of thatgah! ”
The boy stamped on the ground.
The boy then sighed and tried to calm down by closing his eyes.
“Niichan, I’m sorry if I was impolite. ”
“Nonono, you weren’t impolite, it’s fine. ”
“Niichan, since you’re an adult, you should know why she fell for such a mean and assholish guy right? ”
“Niichan I always took care of her, helped her, gave her gifts regularly regardless of my financial situation and she fell for a guy who was thousands of time worse than me. Please, explain this to me ”
“Sure. It’s a very interesting subject in psychology. ”
“Beautiful girls don’t always fall for bad boys but that is typical. You see, beautiful girls have options. They can have almost any guy they want. So why would they go for the unconfident, “nice” guy who has no options?
The thing about bad boys is that they also have options when it comes to women. They’re confident! That’s what attracts women. Nice isn’t something that attracts women; it’s a quality they appreciate but it’s not something that creates attraction. Women are also attracted to men who have options. They don’t want a guy who can’t get women, in their subconscious mind, that guy must have something wrong. That’s why you hear all these hot girls talking about how their boyfriend is such an asshole. You think, “Well if he’s such an asshole, why doesn’t she date someone nice like me?” It’s because she’d rather be with a jerk who’s confident and exciting than the nice guy who is afraid of his shadow.”
“There you go, it’s the most short and direct explanation I could give you.”
” This is psychology and everyone’s brain, in a way, works in the same way, meaning that every girl is subconsciously like this no matter how much they say they aren’t. ”
“I don’t know if you’ll use this but if you’re going to chase girls in the future, keep this sentence in your mind, ‘Treat ’em mean and keep em keen’”
“Basically, act cold and disinterested regardless of how beautiful she is, which in turn will make her nore interested in you. ”
” But niichan, I’m not like that I-in front of people I love, I always melt I-I can’t act cold with them. ”
“That’s bad then. You’re guaranteed to die alone. ”
“But I’m me. I can’t act like who I’m not ”
“You’re you and that’s not enough. ”
“You either become evil and get the affection of the entire world or become justice and suffer injustice and, in the end, die alone in a ditch without seeing even a bit of love from others. ”
“In this brutal and ruthless world, you cannot be weak or nice. You have to be selfish and egoistic! ”
“Show me a person without an ego and I’ll show you a spineless and unconfident person! ”
“I understand niichan”
Dora slightly chuckled as a sad look emerged in his face.
Tenshi sighed and looked at Sora with astonishing calmness in his eyes.
“That’s the truth. Remember that whenever you feel like returning to the the weak you, ‘You are you and that is not enough’.”
Sora looked at the sky and sighed, his agony completely missing from his face.
“Look kid. At your age, don’t bother with love. Tell me, do you have a goal? ”
“A goal? ”
“Yeah, a goal. You said back then that you were poor, don’t you like me have a dream of becoming rich or powerful? ”
“Well I did have a goal of marrying my first love ”
“But, I realised my real goal right now niisan. It’s to help my neechan! ”
“You have an elder sister? ”
Tenshi asked, curious.
“Yeah, she’s a very great motherly figure. Always takes care of me and spoils me but ”
Sora grinned as a dark expression appeared on his face.
Tenshi grinned as he felt a bond forming between this boy and him.
Interesting
“I can’t bear it to see her work, always sweaty and tired with work and never resting. After all she did for me, I want to help her. But I can’t. I’m just a kid. ”
“You know niichan, my sister would’ve never had to suffer if we weren’t born poor. She always ate two meals everyday saving one portion of the food for me to eat, she saved money for me to go to school and eat more healthily than her. ”
“I hate her! Why does she have to work so hard? Why does she need to take care of me? Why does she suffer so much for me?! ”
Sora maniacally laughed and hit the bench as hard as he could.
“All of this ALL OF THIS, is due to that fucking waste of space called my father!”
“Hmm. Why sora? ”
“My sister sells flowers for a living niichan. Every time she comes home, my FUCKING waste of a father comes down and steals her money! And guess what?! She doesn’t say anything, if I ask her, she says I wouldn’t understand!! I understand more than you think neechan, I know that my father blows all of the money earned by my sister on prostitutes and alcohol!! ”
“Kill him. ”
“I will one day!”
“Remember this. Your father was poor and that’s his fault, if you however, die poor then it’s all your fault Sora! ”
Hearing sora’s talk, Tenshi smiled as he interestedly looked at the gate. As of now, no car was present, meaning that they still hadn’t come here to receive him.
“So, I’ll ask you again, what’s your goal Sora?”
Tenshi asked, his tone slightly chilling and full of authority.
To Tenshi, this boy sora was similar to him in many ways, but, he was more impatient and easily angered than him. That’s why he wanted to teach him certain facts.
“Power. Money. Status. ”
“Explain why you want them. ”
“I want power, so that in the future, no one would have the guts to mess with my neechan. I want power because I want revenge for my father stealing my neechan’s money. ”
“I want money. I want money because I want my neechan to lead a more fulfilling life. I want her to enjoy life. She couldn’t even get a good paying job even though she has an bachelor’s degree, just because she doesn’t have enough, oh I don’t know, EXPERIENCE. But I see more younger people than her with even less experience than her on the job because their families have connections and wealth. ”
“I want status, not for myself but for my neechan. I want her to be a princess, not a labourer! ”
“Good. Very good! ”
Tenshi chuckled and applauded.
Sora’s face however, turned slightly worrisome as he rubbed his forehead.
“But to do these, don’t I have to be evil niichan? I mean, I don’t have connections nor do I have anything to start with so don’t I have to do evil things to get a strong foothold?”
“Niichan, will I be hated? Will I be hated by my neechan? ”
Hearing Sora’s voice, Tenshi smiled and looked at Sora, a very understanding gaze in his eyes.
“For the poor to become the wealthy, one has to become a demon first. ”
“And for a commoner to defeat a genius, one has to become a demon first!”
“Understand this, you either do evil things and become the rich or be born into a rich family and and do good. It’s the way the world works, everywhere, you will see people spreading words of justice and goodness as if it was their religion, but guess what? They all have one thing in common, that they all were born into a well-to-do family. They have never seen the suffering and misery the people of the slums or labourers have to face so they believe that everyone starts at the same place but has different choices! They believe that the evil had choices! ”
“Get this kid, no one is born in the world with choices. They are just dropped into the world, poor or wealthy they didn’t choose but it was their luck! ”
“No one starts at the same place while no one has choices, it’s forced onto them! ”
“If you’re poor, you either devour the world or let the world devour you! ”
“There’s no justice or good in this world. Everything is decided by the ones at the top. After all, justice is just a bunch of rules made up by the ones in power to suit themselves! ”
Tenshi finished his talk and licked his lips, after all, talking for so long makes your mouth dry.
