Swoosh~!!!

  A space portal appeared in the Kyouko's office, and from the portal, Ray, Aiko, and Rena came out of it.

  ??

  Ray took a step forward and observed his surrounding. This time, he found a youth cloaked in a robe sitting at Kyouko's office leisurely while drinking tea. Next to him, the Eleanore family elders were standing to guard him.

  " Young master, that is him. The impudent one that has taken lady Emi from our family and attacks us along the way."

  The one speaking was the middle-aged man that Ray has beaten before. Hatred filled his eyes, and he looked at Ray as if seeing a dead man.

  " Hoo, a petty theft who kidnaps my beloved Emi. I will give you a few seconds to apologize and beg mercy."

  *Boom*

  A great amount of pressure surged out of the youth's body, making Ray felt uncomfortable. Even so, forcing him to kneel just with this amount of pressure was something stupid.

  Who would kneel under this abysmal pressure when he had an Ex-god to protect him and his lover during their good night's sleep.

  " Xiansheng, let him see what a pressure should look like."

  With Ray's instruction, Xiansheng entered his battle mode for less than 10 seconds and applied his aura to his surrounding.

  BOOM~!!!!

  The amount of pressure that the youth has generated was only a drop of ink into the sea compared to Xiansheng's. Not only did all the men knelt down, but it also broke down a few of their furniture.

  This was one of Ray's trump cards. During the dungeon grinding, Ray had noticed that Xoansheng battle mode could be saved. So after using 10 seconds of battle mode for this, Xinasheng would still have another 20 seconds on his arsenal.

  After Ray released Xiansheng's battle mode, the pressure slowly diminished, but the youth could feel an immense danger far from what he has ever seen before in Ray's figure.

  " Now we could finally have a nice talk."

  Ray smiled at the youth, but this smile was like a death sentence to all the people inside the room.

  " My-my name is Arthur Winslow. The Son of Winslow family's patriarch from the capital. I apologized if my conduct before has offended you. I beg you, please release all of us here, and the Winslow family will compensate you." The youth said while still kneeling toward Ray.

  Looking at the youth's behavior, ray's interest was somewhat picked. He was ready to punish them more if this Arthur Winslow was to threaten him, but he chose to beg for the safety of the Eleanore family elder? This man deserved some praise.

  ' Aina, please check his information for me.'

  [ Sure host~].

  [ Name: Arthur Winslow]

  [ Power value: 1000 ]

  [ Intelligence: 140 ]

  [ Affection: (-10) - Did he really kidnap Emi, or was there a conspiracy here?]

  [ Affection (Emi): (70) - Love in first sight]

  [ Charm value: 120 ]

  [ Special skill: Business management, Midas touch, Intimidation, Simp burst]

  [ Villain halo: 1000 ]

  [ Description: The major antagonist of Super Duper Love Plus Ultra game].

  A major villain from Skye's timeline, huh. Why did Ray feel that all the antagonist of that series was way better than the Skye? First Reiji, then this Arthur. The developer was really blind to choose Skye as the main protagonist.

  " Sit, Mr. Winslow. I want to know what business has brought you here."

  Ray waved his hand and asked Arthur to sit. This man was far from a third-rate villain, and deserved some respect.

  " Thank you, Mister."

  Arthur stopped kneeling and pulled a chair to sit. He then explained his purpose to come here from the part where Eleanore's family has told him that Emi was kidnapped to the part where Ray was slandered to have attacked the Eleanore family.

  " So basically, you come here to save Emi, who you thought was kidnapped by me?"

  Ray sighed and shook his head at Arthur, who could only laugh bitterly. Even though it was still not clear, Arthur could see that there was a conspiracy here.

  Ray knew it would be better to show the proof directly rather than explaining with words, so he called Kyouko and told her to bring Emi to the office. Before, Kyouko had hidden Emi in a safe place when she noticed the Eleanore family coming, avoiding the situation where Emi would meet her family first without Ray's presence.

  …


  A few minutes later, Emi came, and the situation became clear. She explained everything to Arthur and told him that her heart had always been Ray's. Making the poor guy got brokenhearted.

  " *Sigh* I should have expected this from the start. When we met a year ago, you have told me that you already have someone in your heart, but I thought it was only because you hate the arranged marriage."

  Arthur, who just got hit by reality, was dumbstruck. He laid lifelessly in the chair with a blank look on his face.

  " Whoa, calm down, dude. There was a saying in my hometown, there was an unlimited number of fish in the seas, so you must cheer up okay!"

  Ray didn't know why, but he felt sympathy toward this guy, maybe because he also has been through a similar moment before.

  " There might be an unlimited number of fish in the seas, but there was none who is like her…"

  "……"

  It took a few minutes for Ray and the Eleanore family to eventually cheered up Arthur a bit. This guy might seem mature, but his heart was as fragile as glass.

  " Thank you, Mr. Ray. I was a bit better now, but could I have a request for you?"

  " Speak."

  Ray was pretty intrigued with his request. If it was not too much, he wouldn't mind to fulfill it, as he knew the feeling of falling in love with someone, only for the girl to like someone else.

  " Mr. Ray, let's make a bet. In the Karasuno's Youth Daoist championship, we will battle, and the one who wins will get a date with Emi."

  Hearing his words, ray was about to get angry, but Arthur was able to continue first.

  " It was not like that. I still have an idea about Emi. I look at her and know she is happy with you, but please allow this one selfishness of mine. This is my first love, and at least I want to make some memories of it."

  This guy… Ray knew Arthur was holding himself back from tears. He could feel it was like the last bravery of a guy to his beloved girl before eventually vanished away from her life.

  " Sure, I will grant you that one. However, the one to battle you and your team will not be me but Emi. She has the right to determine her own fate."

  Zringg!!
