Chapter 75 [Crime] Nick Falco Part One
Although the other world proved challenging, he gained valuable experiences and power.
Above all, in a realm where life and death hung in the balance, he could liberate his 'true self.'
He did as he pleased against those otherworldly monkeys.
Acts that were previously confined to imagination were affirmed there.
That world allowed everything.
Killing those he disliked, as well as indulging in desires towards women, all were permitted.
And──it remained the same even after coming back.
The turning point of his day was on his way home after work.
While unlocking the auto-lock, he 'saved the record.'
This became the 'respawn point' when he died and came back.
Completing the day safely, it was a routine task between the entrance of the building and his home.
Upon opening the door at home, his loving daughter Stephanie welcomed him.
"Dad! Welcome back!"
"I'm home, Steph. Were you a good girl today?"
"Yeah!"
While hugging, the daughter and he were having a conversation when his wife, Jennifer, placed her hand on her hip and exclaimed in disbelief.
"Oh, come on, Steph, you lied again. You know, our daughter was playing games instead of doing her homework?"
"Oh really, Steph?"
"Yes, I'm sorry. So... hey Dad, can you help me with my homework?"
The daughter pleaded in a submissive tone, looking up at him.
When his beloved daughter asked for help, he felt a deep sense of trust and love. She believed that her dad would always listen.
"Oh, come on, Steph, just because your father always helps you, don't be spoiled too much."
As he listened to his wife's words, he let go of Steph and activated [Body Enhancement III].
He struck his daughter's face with full force.
As her skull made a cracking sound, her body was sent flying towards the wall.
A thud echoed through the room as her body hit the wall. He wonder if her nose will grow as high as me when she becomes an adult. Steph, who usually says sophisticated things, had a horribly crushed nose.
She must have died instantly when she was hit.
On the other side, Jennifer was simply bewildered by the sudden turn of events.
To bring her back to reality, he grabbed her by the collar.
"I just finished work! I just came home tired! Do you think I have time to deal with a kid's homework? What kind of discipline have you been doing while I'm not around, you damn whore?"
"Nick, stop it, Steph, oh, why, dear God..."
"Answer the question, you slut! I'm asking what kind of discipline you've been doing! What's clogging up your brain that you can't even answer such a simple question? Is it shit? Is shit clogging up your brain? Then, I don't need you!"
"Nick, why, no, stop... Ugh!"
He grabbed her face and used the dark magic of 'space deletion' to scrape it away.
Jennifer, having lost her head, collapsed on the spot.
He glanced at the two lifeless bodies and shrugged his shoulders.
"Ah, I messed up again..."
Unable to control the surging impulse, his frustration erupted, turning his family into a carcass.
How many times had this been experienced? It's countless.
In a different world, he gained various experiences and powers, but some things were lost in exchange.
One of those is his self-control.
Occasionally, he gave in to such impulses, acting on whims.
However, he had gained the power to do so.
"Now, let's have another round of 'doing whatever I want' time."
* * *
At this moment, Nick found himself in the high-end teppanyaki restaurant in the city—a familiar spot for him.
However, he had never paid for a meal there.
Switching the sign at the entrance to 'CLOSED,' he entered the restaurant.
It felt familiar, he thought, although for them, it was their first time seeing him.
"Welcome, dear customer. I apologize, but our restaurant is reservation-only..."
"I know, Kashiwabara-kun."
"Huh?"
Grabbing his clueless face, he shaved it off with dark magic.
Turning the corner of the corridor, he entered the diner. Inside, a male and female diner were happily enjoying their meal in front of a large iron griddle, while a chef prepared food nearby.
This particular restaurant had a policy of allowing only two parties at a time, and luckily, today there was only one. It made things much easier.
"Hey, good evening," he greeted, catching the attention of the two diners.
With a puzzled expression on his face, the man greeted him back, "Good evening. Um, do you need something?"
Without waiting for him to finish, Nick grabbed his face with both hands and twisted. A dull cracking sound echoed as the man fell from his seat.
A moment of silence followed, and then the woman screamed in terror.
"Aaaahhh... Nooo!"
With a swift kick, Nick interrupted her scream. The force of his blow, enhanced by body enhancement, sent the woman flying into the wall.
Her head hit the wall, and she slid down, her body slumping against it, lifeless.
Witnessing the gruesome scene, the chef looked at Nick in utter disbelief.
Nick pulled a gun from the item box to snap the chef back to reality.
As planned, the chef seemed to regain his composure.
Observing his trembling body, Nick spoke gently.
"Chef."
"Yes, yes!"
"Serve today's course for me. Put your heart into it. If you do, I won't have to pull this trigger."
The chef nodded repeatedly, still trembling.
Although he occasionally struggled with the cooking utensils, he skillfully presented course after course.
It may not be proper table manners, but he continued eating, switching his fork and knife while leaving the gun on the counter.
There was no conversation.
After approximately an hour, the course came to an end. While relishing the dessert, he called out to the chef.
"Today's meal was truly excellent, chef."
"Today...? Oh, um, yes."
As per his usual practice, he swiftly eliminated the chef for his foolish response.
With the meal completed, it was time for the woman.
Ah, yes, that woman.
In order to reset, he had to die.
Dying was something he could never get used to, which is why he always relied on someone else to kill him.
Special Nada Kyouko.
That infuriating woman served as his personal 'reset button.'
During their joint training sessions, that vexing woman took pleasure in publicly humiliating and embarrassing him.
But he knows what to do now.
He holds her Achilles' heel.
* * *
He arrived at Nada Kyouko's house and pressed the doorbell.
Due to the automatic lock, they had to communicate through the camera, as usual.
With an electronic beep, she responded.
"Yes... huh? Chief Nick? What is it? And my home is not supposed to be disclosed to the public..."
"I'm sorry, but it's confidential... It's about your brother. We can discuss it like this, but it's not something you should let others overhear, I believe."
"...Go ahead."
The auto-lock door opens.
Yes, she opens it.
That's because even though she's wary of him, she's still looking down on him.
Her actions come from her confidence that she can handle any conflicts.
And that is correct.
In fact, he needed to learn how to deal with her to achieve the outcome he desired.
For that, he paid the cost of dying twelve times.
The information about the special forces personnel and their families is, of course, confidential.
But in order to seek revenge against this woman who embarrassed him, he investigated her using various methods and authorities.
And conveniently, he can make it appear as if he hadn't conducted any reckless investigations. He, with the ability to discreetly expose the opponent's information, is truly a chosen presence, akin to a god.
