"More than 20% of the Scorpion members were arrested? How did this happen?"
"We don't know, boss. Out of nowhere, the leaders of District 7 and 6 started looting, and unfortunately, Anti-Skill was on the scene..."
After returning home and causing an electric spectacle throughout the city, Yuki once again wore his clown mask.
The speed at which these criminals gathered under his leadership was astonishing. After beating a few gangsters, it became much easier for them to look at him with respect.
Now he was preparing to engulf the entire city with his members, making Scorpion the sole rulers of the underworld. At the same time, putting pressure on those white coats of the Level 6 Shift Project to stop once and for all. Underestimating over a thousand criminals, even a Level 5 would struggle.
Yuki promised Mikoto that he would end this project with the least bloodshed possible...
Mikoto is too kind. Otherwise, if Yuki were in charge, he would kill these guys and destroy this city...
However, now it depended on his gang of gangsters.
Or at least, that was the plan. But it seemed someone was playing with his members yesterday, and they ended up being arrested by Anti-Skill.
Not that Yuki cared about these idiots. However, these idiots were useful. Thanks to them, the eyes of the board of directors were on them. Besides, they were very good as walking wallets.
Not to mention, they were the errand boys. One word, and they would move like bees. These were the benefits of being the leader of the criminals.
That's why he had to go to the crime scene and confirm.
"Misaki, huh?"
With doubts in his mind, Yuki decided to check Rasiel. He was a little worried if this was the work of Aleister or some other undesirable type that wouldn't want his group to become the new rulers of the underworld.
And upon discovering the culprit, Yuki smiled bitterly under his mask.
It seemed his stalker had made a move.
(With her power, it's not surprising...)
Misaki, as the strongest mental control Esper, could easily control a few delinquents.
What Yuki didn't know is why Misaki did it. Rasiel wasn't powerful enough to read the thoughts and feelings of people.
Misaki had played around with him quite a bit in the past, chasing him and causing trouble. That's why Yuki had a headache messing with her because he knew no matter what he did, he would burn for playing with her.
Even Yami was unconsciously affected by her antics. This only made his gluttonous companion hate her to the bone. Just mentioning Misaki's name made her grit her teeth. Yuki didn't want to anger Yami.
And as troublesome as she is, Yuki decided not to mess with this girl anymore. But Misaki didn't stop; she continued harassing him.
And when Yuki couldn't take it anymore, he sneaked into her dorm room at night, smacking her plump behind as punishment for being a naughty girl. But Misaki was even bolder the next day, as if she really enjoyed her punishments.
This made Yuki reassess Misaki. This girl was a complete masochist, really determined to do whatever it took to get his attention.
Yuki was really beating a sponge, this girl was his nemesis. His tricks that worked on most people were easily evaded by this girl.
Because of this, and to avoid more trouble, Yuki started ignoring her and keeping his distance. It's not that Yuki wasn't interested in her, but their relationship was becoming toxic. Yuki already had enough with Yuno and Mana. If he added her to his crystal palace, Yuki wouldn't be surprised if one of these days, the flames of anarchy burned in his family.
(TN: Victor disapproves)
But Misaki didn't let him escape. After all, this girl surprised him, as she was able to see his Crown on her own. Yuki didn't know how she did it, but Misaki could instantly identify it if she managed to find him on the street. This was something even Aiwass and Aleister couldn't do, even their clones had a hard time escaping her eyes.
A girl truly to be feared. But even though she was troublesome, this girl had tact since she didn't meddle in his plans. Until now, of course, leaving Yuki wondering.
(Is it because of Mikoto?)
He knew about the bad blood between Mikoto and Misaki, and it wouldn't be surprising if Misaki were seeking revenge on him.
But Misaki didn't know his face, and she didn't know his name either. Yesterday, he made sure to completely avoid her, even checking Rasiel for her location when he picked up Mikoto from her dorm room. She shouldn't be able to see him...
Besides, there was no connection between 'Yuki' and the 'Joker'. Both operated differently, and Misaki wanted the Joker, so there shouldn't be any problems.
(Damn it!)
Shaking his head, Yuki didn't know how to deal with this girl. He wanted to punish her, but he didn't know how. Sexually harassing her would yield results opposite to what he expected. Scaring her didn't work since this girl would erase her memory and continue as always. Also, the Sharingan's Genjutsu didn't work on Misaki. He had tried before, and it only deepened her curiosity.
And it's not like using brute force is the solution. Yuki wasn't the kind of person who liked to fix everything with absolute power. He prefers to play with his prey, torment them psychologically, exhaust them until they beg for mercy.
Danzo and Hiruzen were good examples. Yuki spent four years tormenting them, playing with them, making them feel helpless. He even killed them in the most torturous way possible. Hiruzen died by the hand of his most beloved student, and Danzo died by an Uchiha, his worst enemy.
Unfortunately, this didn't work on Misaki, and it's not like Yuki harbored any resentment toward her. She was just a girl too troublesome to mess with. After all, it was his fault that Misaki was stalking him. He was the reason this girl turned out this way, so Yuki couldn't and didn't want to harm her.
"Ahem."
"Misaki, I heard you had a bit of fun yesterday."
With a chuckle, Yuki leaned against a wall, observing the figure of the curly-haired Tokiwadai student. This brought a smirk to his face; he already knew how to make this girl angry.
However, Misaki remained composed, tilting her head slightly as she met Yuki's gaze.
"Oh, Joker. What brings you here?"
"Just passing by, thought I'd check on the aftermath of your little escapade."
"Escapade? I'm not sure what you're talking about."
Misaki feigned innocence, but Yuki wasn't buying it.
"Don't play dumb with me. I know you were behind the Scorpion members getting arrested."
Misaki raised an eyebrow, a slight smirk forming on her lips.
"My, my. You catch on quickly, Joker. But why would you care about a bunch of delinquents?"
Yuki chuckled, twirling a flower between his fingers.
"Well, you see, those delinquents are under my command. It's inconvenient when someone interferes with my business."
Misaki's eyes gleamed with curiosity, and her smile widened.
"Is that so? I must have disrupted your grand plans. How troublesome."
Yuki's grin remained, and he tossed the flower casually.
"Troublesome indeed. But here's a little piece of advice, Misaki. Don't mess with my subordinates unless you're prepared for the consequences."
Misaki chuckled, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"Oh, I'm always prepared, Joker. Besides, it's all just a game, isn't it?"
Yuki's gaze intensified, his eyes narrowing behind the mask.
"It's a game until someone loses. Choose your moves carefully, Misaki."
With that, Yuki sauntered away, leaving Misaki standing there with a contemplative expression. The tension between them lingered in the air, a subtle clash of unpredictable minds.
