Chapter 113: Meeting Old Friends
I sighed as I looked out the window of the plane.
"I thought you would be happier to see me, boy" - In front of me was a muscular man with a huge smile and a striking wrestler mask.
"It's nice to see you again Diego" - I smiled wryly.
When I got on the plane sent by Fortuna to go to the private island I met my wrestling teacher and Rachel's godfather, Diego Carlo.
There is a saying: 'Birds of the same feather fly together'.
Maybe it's because since I was a kid I've always been involved with criminals and even my first friend was a murderous thief, but somehow I can get along with people on the bad side of the law.
Diego and I became friends during my time at Yami. He is an interesting person who is not interested in controlling the world nor does he seek to be the strongest, he just wants to put on a good show and the idea of a war between martial artists seemed exciting to him.
That is why seeing him on the plane I made Shigure, Sayo, Tsubaki, Yellow Queen, and the two psycho girls go to their seats while I went to the back of the plane to speak privately with Diego since he was not here for fight.
"Hahahaha don't be so distant boy! Now we are family hahahaha!" - Diego began to laugh loudly.
I am spending so much time with Navi that I have become more tolerant of noisy people so I smiled wryly and waited for Diego to finish laughing which took almost 10 minutes.
"I'm not going to call you father-in-law" - I rolled my eyes.
Even if he is practically Rachel's adoptive father, I see him more as a business partner and almost a friend.
On the other hand, I'm not surprised that he knows about my relationship with Rachel. In all of Yami, he is the subject least attached to the ideals of the group and he only seeks to create a show, I am sure that Diego finds my relationship with Rachel funny so he will not give her away and will only see how things develop, even he is take my side if I have a direct fight with Yami.
"Hahaha that's fine! It would be awkward if you do! " - Diego laughed again, but was able to calm down in a few seconds. - "Let's put that nonsense aside for now, this time you've caused a big problem boy"
That's obvious, I was considered Yami's future secret weapon, but now I not only escaped Jenazad's mind control, I also had one of Yami's most important experts follow me (Mildred).
As if that wasn't enough, I declared in front of the female bow master that I would become Yami's enemy.
I'm sure there are currently one or two Yami experts who wish to cut off my head, although there must also be some experts with their own ideas who have started to form plans to try to use me to the best of their ability.
"Your mouth says it's a problem, but your smile says something else" - I made an ironic expression, this man is having fun.
"Hahahaha you must have seen Ogata's expression when he heard the news! That idiot was proudly bragging that his disciple broke Jenazad's brainwashing techniques! " - Diego began to laugh out loud. - "The best was when Yami's armed section learned that Mildred left Yami to follow you! Tachibana's cocky face when he saw the list of tournament participants was worth gold! Hahahahaha, it's the first time I've seen someone go from red to green! "
Navi appeared next to me. - "Hey Listen! That bitch deserves it muahahahahaha! No one can covet the women of the Harem King! "
I couldn't help it and started laughing with Diego.
It is a known fact that my relationship with weapons expert Rin Tachibana is not good. Some suspected that he hated me since I'm dirtying the way of weapons since I also fight with bare hands, but Yami's upper echelons know that that idiot is jealous of me since I have a close relationship with Shigure.
He must have been furious as now that I was released from mind control it meant that I can go back to Shigure, which, what's more, Yellow Queen registered Shigure as my teacher for the Disciples Duel tournament so that idiot must already know that my relationship with Shigure became more solid than before.
Even though the situation is funny, I have to be careful. An idiot full of jealousy and who is also one of the strongest people in the world cannot be underestimated, the biggest problem is that Tachibana's jealousy will make the female swordmaster Raki Hoshinano jealous so she will also seek to eliminate Shigure.
Whatever, this will be a chance to get Raki into my harem and kill Tachibana, two birds with one stone.
Even though she is on the same level as Jenazad, from what I've heard she is much stronger than Jenazad and is the second strongest person in all of Yami.
Chikage Kushinada is the disciple of Mikumo, the adorable girl who I became friends with in Yami and later started avoiding me due to rumors that I am a sexual predator.
In the time I spent with that brat I learned some things about Mikumo such as the fact that, despite being over 90 years old, she maintains a beautiful appearance that does not exceed 25 years.
The most important thing is that Mikumo has an obsession with the search for power without relying on physical strength, she believes that form (technique) surpasses explosive power.
Mikumo's second-biggest obsession is the search for youth, so in my time at Yami, I taught Chikage the basics of Hamon to attract her teacher, it's a shame that I had to go on a mission to Ukraine before I could meet her, but now is a chance to see her in person, sure, only if she doesn't try to kill me as soon as she sees me.
This is a gamble, there is a 50% chance that she wants to kill me since I am a threat to Yami. The other 50% is that she wants to meet me to get the secrets of my absurd increase in strength and life-prolonging techniques like basic Hamon breathing.
If I add the help of the plot armor then the probability that we can both make an alliance increases up to 80%, but an unforeseen problem can always arise so I must prepare for a fight to the death.
I sighed internally, now I don't know who will give me the beating of my life, Hayato or Mikumo, plus I still don't know the expert from Yami's armed division that he has the same strength as Hayato.
Well, whatever, I'll solve one problem at a time, I must first kill the idiot who dares to covet my wife.
"Putting the bad news aside, let's talk about how you've been in this time that we haven't seen each other" - Diego opened a small refrigerator that was on the plane and took out some drinks and sandwiches.
Since this is a private plane there are several luxuries, the women who accompanied me started watching movies after seeing that Diego was not here to cause trouble.
"Sure" - I smiled and began to drink a can of orange soda forgetting that there is a joking idiot in front of me.
"Oh right, the girls you left in Yami did not take your betrayal well and some of them will come to the tournament to look for you to take responsibility, others said something about castrating the idiot who left them" - Diego was amused seeing how I was about to spit out the soda.
"Did you invite them?" - I looked tiredly at the smiling joker.
"Me? I'm innocent "- Diego's smile grew. - "It was Rachel's idea, she said this would motivate you to win the tournament"
... I need to punish that troublesome woman, Rachel can't be happy if she doesn't see the world burn.
Having a huge harem is proving to be more difficult than I thought.
On the other hand, I can also have fun.

Author's Note:
I had a creative block so I'm barely going up a chapter, sorry.
Yesterday I did not sleep and today I drank 6 cups of coffee to support the face-to-face classes but now I cannot sleep.
Anyway, if a part of my mind was still standing now it just collapsed like my hopes of landing Mysterious Heroine X in Fate Go, shitty gacha.
Anyway, a hug.
