Good, Haruka thought in relief. If

Good, Haruka thought in relief. If she had to keep listening to Goro, she couldn't guarantee what she would do. Goro's body might be as big and as muscular as Suoh, but his voice sounded so childish that it grated her patience.

"The next time I find you sneaking around my desk, peeping at something you shouldn't see, I won't hesitate to kill you where you stand. Do you understand, Goro?"

He can barely nod. His bulky body shakes violently that Haruka starts to worry that he will piss in his pants. It will be unpleasant to work in a room filled by the stench of piss for the rest of the day.

Who was it that hired this coward?

"I didn't do anything wrong," he started. But she doesn't take bullshit so she stopped his excuses by placing another finger on another sensitive spot. He practically howls in pain.

"Save your breath. We both know you were looking into my papers, Goro. Fortunately for you, there was nothing important on my table. Otherwise, I won't let you go. But this incident won't go unreported."

She pauses to make sure he gets her message. Goro keeps looking down as he tries to get away from her. Actually, it feels hilarious seeing a giant like him being so scared by a small size woman like her. But apparently, courage and confident are not defined by the size of your body.

"Now, take that credit card and go. I have things to do." She released him.

The time he took to grab the card and scramble out of the room must be record breaking.

Haruka waited right until the guard was almost passing the door before she called him sternly, "Goro."

The man instantly freezes in fear.

"Tell Ida, Muto, and Nagai to come here."

He turns around to look at her in panic.

She calmly continued, "I can understand that you feel sympathy after taking care of Emi for years. But I suggest you to keep your sympathy for yourself. Telling everyone you met about it won't do you any good."

The guard just stands there like a deer caught in the headlights. Feeling frustrated, she waves him away. Goro doesn't need to be told twice. He practically sprints out of the room.

Shrugging, Haruka shakes her head bitterly. She can understand Goro's feeling. Kirishima scolded her last night for doing similar mistake. Her sympathy for Takaba-sama persuaded her to interfere with her boss' affair. She won't say that it is a mistake to have sympathy. But it doesn't mean it is wise to blab about it to everyone.

She sighs. Goro looks too unstable. Making a self-note to keep a watch on Goro, she sends an email to report the incident to Kirishima.

How dare that bitch treated him like that! He talked to her nicely and then she threatened him! Why does everyone always, always, look down on him?! His parents. His older brother. And now Ito-san! They all thought that he was useless and weak. Well, they are all wrong!

Goro is ashamed enough with his life. He doesn't need another reminder of what a failure he is. His parents disowned him when he was 18, right after they caught him raping his brother's 5-years-old daughter. His brother almost killed him in his rage. The family kept the whole affair quiet, hoping that it would protect their traumatized daughter from public judgment. But they never wanted to talk to him anymore.

How could everyone put all the blame only on him?

He drives in anger through the heavy traffic, directing the car towards an abandoned manufacturing area an hour outside the city. What he needs now is to feel the power hidden deep inside him. He is going to prove that he is not weak. He has his own strength. Adrenaline pumps through his veins and he can feel his erection poking in his pants.

No one believes in him. Even Emi thinks that he is useless. He can see it written in her face. But at least, Emi understands that he just needs an outlet to show his power. Emi helped him to find a way to release an internal power that he didn't know he has. And she promised to give him more in the coming future.

Goro parks his car carelessly in the empty space outside. No one will scold him here for parking however he wishes. His body trembles excitedly as he walks into the now empty factory building.

"Mariko-chan, I am here to visit you," he greeted excitedly as soon as he entered the dimmed open room. His voice echoed in the wide vacant space.

Mariko looks at him in fear from where she is chained to a column. She tries to yank her chain to get away from him, hiding her naked body behind her thin weak arms. Dry blood stains her skin and her hair is sticky with dirt and mud. Silently begging for mercy, her slim dirty body shudders violently as she cries and Goro feels proud swelling inside him. This woman is scared of him. She trembles at the sight of his power. Why can't everyone react like that?

Goro feels worried about Emi's plan to get rid of that Akihito boy. Asami Ryuichi didn't become one of the strongest figures in the world by being benevolent. Everyone knows that. Asami-sama will kill anyone who dares to touch what is his. But Emi believes that her plan will work. Hopefully, Emi is right. Besides, at this point, he doesn't have a choice but to support Emi. He curses his own stupidity for falling for Emi's charm. But who could reject a sweet little thing like Emi trembling at his feet, sucking his dick in adoration? It is too bad Emi doesn't want to do that anymore.

Well, Emi promised that he would get a taste of this Akihito. The boy is an exact copy of Emi, so Goro is sure that the boy will taste as good as Emi. Emi also said that she would give that bitch to him. Goro grins wickedly. When Ito-san is finally chained to this same column, she won't be able to threaten him anymore. He feels his erection hardening into a steel just from that very thought.

"Let me...go...Please...I told her everything...Please, sir...let me go...," Mariko begged in fear.

She is trying desperately to crawl away when Goro gets closer. Feeling invincible and powerful, he grabs her hair roughly, pulling her towards him. She yells and shouts but no one can hear her here. When she fights him, crying for help until what is left of her voice becomes hoarse, the bulky man hits her across her face, making her choke with blood before he pins her small thin figure under his muscular giant body. He punches her a few more times until the woman stops her futile struggle. And damn, it feels good.
