Prompted by Iketsuki’s father, the large man standing behind him opened the suitcase, revealing the bundles of cash inside. I reached out and picked up one of the stacks. Seeing this, Iketsuki’s father grinned with a sleazy smile, clearly thinking he had me.
I held the bundle in one hand and reached into my pocket with the other.
From my pocket, I pulled out an envelope labeled “Receipt Enclosed.” I took out a receipt for 4,780 yen, placed it in the suitcase, and then removed 17 bills from the bundle before putting the rest back in the suitcase.
Iketsuki’s father’s smile vanished, his face twitching in confusion at my strange actions.
“K-Komada-kun? What’s the meaning of this?”
With a devilish grin, I looked straight at Iketsuki’s father and replied,
“Oh, nothing. You see, the money your son extorted from me totaled 165,220 yen. I took 170,000 yen from you, and that’s the change along with the receipt.”
Still not understanding, Iketsuki’s father looked puzzled, so I clarified,
“This little amount of money means nothing to me. Besides, I’m looking forward to spending the rest of our second year of high school exacting my revenge on your son. So, no, I’m not interested in settling this~.“
Iketsuki’s father turned bright red with anger at my words. He gave a signal with a nod to the large man holding the suitcase. The man set the suitcase down, grabbed me by the collar with one hand, and began choking me with the other, lifting me off the ground.
Iketsuki’s father looked up at me with a smug grin and said, triumphantly,
“Listen, kid, stop being so cocky. It’s time you learned not to mess with adults.”
Seeing me hanging in the air, my former stepmother, who was standing near the doorway, and my former stepsister, who peeked out from the living room after hearing the commotion, were both shocked, with my stepsister collapsing in fear. Neither of them showed any intention of helping me or calling for help. I sighed lightly at their lack of concern and then gripped the wrist of the large man who was choking me. I squeezed his wrist with all my strength.
“Arghhh!”
With the sound of bones cracking, the man let go of my neck, and I dropped to the ground. Still gripping his wrist, the man collapsed to his knees in front of me, groaning in pain.
“W-What!? How is this happening? You’re a former pro wrestler, aren’t you? How can you let a kid handle you like this?!”
I twisted his arm slightly, and with a sickening crack, his shoulder rotated in an unnatural direction.
“Ahh, looks like it popped out~.“
With that, I kicked the large man, sending him flying several meters until he crashed into the car Iketsuki and his father had arrived in.
“Oh, by the way, the entire scene of you laying your hands on me first is all recorded on that camera over there, so we can take this to court anytime you’d like. Haha.“
Iketsuki and his father were stunned by my words.
“Komada-kun, no, Komada-sama! Please, let’s settle this peacefully! We’ll pay you as much as you want!”
They both frantically dropped to their knees, bowing and begging for forgiveness.
“Well, if you’re willing to pay me ten times my income from last year, I might consider it.”
Relief washed over Iketsuki’s father’s face as he repeatedly thanked me and promised to pay.
“Oh, here’s a copy of my tax statement. You can verify it~.“
He took the paper from my hand and started counting,
“One… ten… hundred… thousand… million… five hundred million!?!”
I leaned in close to his ear and whispered,
“Five billion by tomorrow, okay~?”
The father and son both collapsed in fear at the impossible amount.
“Five billion… there’s no way we can…”
“Well then, I guess your son will just have to endure a little more pain every day from now on. Anyway, I’m not coming back to this house, so… see you at school, Iketsuki-kun. Ahaha.“
With that, I kicked the large man lying on the ground out of the way and began walking toward my new home.
Now, I wonder if I’ll hear from him soon~.
