126 Chapter 117: World Domination it is!

While standing in the middle of their living room, Samantha fidgeted at the gaze of her family. He really went and said it.

"Wow… I didn't think big sis would have an asian boyfriend. He's also handsome beyond belief, I'm quite envious to be honest." Her little sister, Olivia Brown, said with clear interest in her eyes.

Her little sister is 14 years old, only 3 years younger than her, and is a valedictorian at her school. That means her grades have never dropped below A+ and is also a young athlete who has won the middle school track and field championship this year. She has an astounding IQ of 150, making her a real prodigy in the making.

As for her appearance, she has her blonde hair is styled bobly, blue round eyes, thin eyebrows, and a little bit of pimples here and there. She wore glasses since her vision has been ruined because she kept staying up late to read those novels of hers. She wore some comfortable clothes, like a yellow soft pajama and black half-top.

"Why am I even here? I want to return to my room now, just tell me when he leaves." Her little brother, Benjamin Brown, said while standing up.

Her little brother is a real introvert. He barely goes to school anymore, though he always shows up at school every exam day to do his exam. And everytime they saw his grade, they noticed that they were all the same, B-. He keeps it at an average B-, just enough to pass. He's 12 years old, 2 years younger than Olivia. They suspect that he is also a genius like Olivia, but it wouldn't make sense for a kid to hide his grades. Every kid wants their parents to be proud of them.

As for his appearance, he has short blonde hair, his blue eyes having some eye bags underneath, and a little bit pale. He wore a dark hoodie with black sweatpants to suit his taste.

"Benjamin James Brown, get your ass back here!" Her mother, Emma Brown, yelled at him with his full name. He winced and grumbled under his breath, before sitting down in the middle of his mother and older sister on the couch.

Her mother looked at Hikaru apologetically, and said, "I'm really sorry for my son's attitude. I don't know what happened to him, but he was not always like this."

"Mah, maj, I'm used to kids that have bad attitudes. If I didn't, I wouldn't be here. Your daughter can get a little moody at times, after all." Hikaru said nonchalantly.

Her father then asked, "How old are you, Hikaru was it?"

"I'm 22 years old, though I don't know my birthday, so I just counted my age every time a year passes." He replied while not lying and lying at the same time.

He is technically 29 years old, mentally that is.

"Heh, I didn't know my daughter was into men older than her." Her father, William Brown, teased her a little.

"Hmph." She just looked away with a snort.

William barked in laughter as he saw her daughter's face getting red. It's not everyday he sees his daughter's face in this household, after all. She's always with her "friends" doing things that a teenager shouldn't be doing.

"So, mister Hikaru, why were you here again?" This time, Olivia asked.

"Oh, that? My house burned down along with all of my stuff, so I had nothing to stay for the night. Coincidentally, my boss just fired me earlier because I offended someone. So I thought of staying in Samantha's place to pass the night. If it's that all right with all of you." Hikaru calmly elaborately lied, he's a shinobi after all.

Samantha couldn't help but sneer silently, already knowing that's a lie.

Emma covered her mouth as she heard tragedies after tragedies happening to this young man, and said worriedly, "Oh, that's not good! Do you have any relatives that you can stay in tomorrow?"

He shook his head, and said, "No, I'm afraid I don't, I'm an orphan after all." He's not lying this time, technically he is an orphan.

'Well, that explains why he doesn't know his birthday.' William thought.

"O-Oh… poor you, but don't worry! Me and my husband will let you stay in our building until you've found yourself a job!" Emma said with tears in her eyes after hearing all of that, though her husband still hasn't agreed to that.

"But Emma…"

She turned to her husband to glare, "Shut it, William."

"Yes ma'am…" He hung his head low.

That's… rather convenient. But he didn't really need to stay here for more than a week, he'll probably be able to sell all of his transmuted gold, they're rarity is the highest after all. He probably has 10,000 gold bars in his inventory that he can sell tomorrow. But he won't sell it all, he will probably sell them one by one, since the people here might get suspicious. But even then, he didn't really care about their suspicions, he is powerful enough to sink the entire continent of america without lifting a finger, so why should he worry about those?

After chatting with them for a bit, he was finally offered a room on the penthouse floor. He and Samantha will be staying in that room together, since they're a "couple". He loved the look of horror on her face as her mother said that. She almost begged her mother not to do that but Hikaru petrified her movements with a simple look, and then controlled her body to do his bidding.

It was funny to see her drown in despair as they shared a bed together, since her parents ordered the staff to remove the other bed in the room so that they could share a bed together. Her father was against them staying in one room, but her mother was the matriarch of the family, so her words were laws, and her father couldn't do anything other than give up.

For Hikaru, this was simply amusing. Emma is a little too easy to fool, William is a coward, an introverted mysterious son, and a prodigy daughter who is good at everything. Then there is Samantha, when even if she's a failure, her parents still loved her like a daughter.

It was fun for him to see another family interact with each other, especially since they are an american family. This is the first time he has interacted with Americans, because Americans in his area back in his previous life were quite rare.

As he laid on the bed with Samantha by his side, albeit she has her back turned against him, he started to think about his family. He has promises to fulfill, two to be exact. His promise with his children, and his promise with his wives

"Hey, emo girl, stop brooding. I know you're awake." He said to the girl beside him.

He heard a "Tch" before she sat up and turned her head to look at him.

"What?" She asked in a tone full of distaste towards him.

"I don't really know why you're like this, when you have such a good family. You have rich parents, rather normal siblings, and a normal household, yet you act all rebel-like. I mean, you're even doing drugs. Now, that's illegal, missy." Hikaru said without looking at her while still laying his back on the bed.

Her eyes widened when she heard the last parts, and asked, "How do you know that? Not even my parents know that I'm doing drugs!"

Hikaru looked at her with a smirk, and said, "I have some tricks up my sleeve."

She sighed and hugged her knees as she looked down, and said, "You know, I used to have an older brother," From that sentence alone, he knew that there was drama, "My parents were neglectful of him, all they focused their attention on was their already booming business. When they had me, my brother was the one who took care of me due to their neglectful attitudes. But one day, when he was going out to buy me some milk from the convenience store, there was a cop chase. Three cops were going after a snatcher, but one cop thought that he was smart and shot the snatcher with his gun, but my older brother, who happens to be there at the time, was the one who took the bullet, " She was bitter and sad, that's what he noted, "The bullet entered his head, and he died. I was three years old at the time, but I could still remember it clearly. How my mother wept, how my father barked orders to find the cop who shot my brother, and I just stared at his casket, not knowing what to do. Since then, I hated my parents. If they didn't neglect my brother and I, that incident wouldn't have happened. He would still be alive, not six feet underground."

She didn't know why she was telling him this, maybe it was because he asked? Or maybe it was because she wanted to tell someone about this?

Hikaru is not the one to prive other people's secrets, he just didn't want to, that's why he hasn't fully scanned her brain to see her memories. But, pissing him off can guarantee you that he would not hold back.

He has seen hatred many times back in the elemental nation, numerous people were affected by this. Hatred is something no being can escape, even if you're an all-powerful being. He, too, has fallen victim to hatred. It was back then, when he was undergoing his three years journey on the elemental nation. He had seen numerous bandits pillaging small villages, raping whoever they lusted after, and enslaving people, then treating them harshly. He felt hatred towards them at the time, knowing that that was wrong, everything that they were doing was wrong to him. But then, he developed something over the years, something that made him a little bit more free.

You can never judge someone, even when they have done the worst of things. Why judge them, when you are no better? He has also killed many, numbering over hundreds of thousands. You can hate, but never judge them. What do you know? You might've become just like them if things were so slightly different.

But even then, he IS a hypocrite. He breaks his own rules from time to time, and rebuild them just like that.

He nodded at her with understanding in his eyes, knowing the full reason why she hated her parents, or rather why she became a rebel. He did not judge her, because he was the same back then. Though, situations were different back then.

"I understand. I have seen your kind many times, those who hate the wrong people. Your parents, while being neglectful, they didn't mean it. They were working so that all of you could have a better life than them, which is what's happening right now. If I understand correctly, that is." She was about to protest, when he shut her with a raise of his finger, "Don't blame your parents, blame the one who killed your brother, is what I am saying. Hate the cop who murdered your brother, hate him, hate him, until you no longer feel anything, and when that time comes, remember those who love and care for you, then return to them with a full blown smile on your face. When you have finally felt happiness, visit your brother's killer. It's your choice whether you want to forgive him or not, it's your choice, after all."

She was shocked, having heard those words from him, the one who killed a friend of hers earlier. He is a murderer, but he has a heart, he was able to understand her unlike other people. He gave her a nice and sweet smile that she was so drawn to it.

His words struck her the deepest. Those words were not meant to comfort her, but for understanding and an advice. An advice that would stick to her for a lifetime.

Now, Hikaru isn't the one to give words like this, especially since this girl is a stranger to him. Well, not that stranger. She is a nice girl at heart, but this world corrupted her, this loathful world. He hasn't even stayed for a day in this world, but he had already felt it, the corruption of this world. It is in the air, their very essence sickened him. He could use Senjutsu, that's why he felt all of that sickening essence.

Humans, even in a different world, are the same. The voice of those who suffer whispered to him, begs him for a release from this world. They were somewhere in the world, being tortured by their tormentors.

He didn't know how to fix this more peacefully. He could just wipe them out and end all of Humanity's unnecessary suffering, but that won't mean anything under than genocide.

He's not Hitler, he would do things differently.

But what can he do to end their suffering without killing them? Without that much death count? World Domination is an option. He could just unite every country of humans into one, single banner. But it's easier said than done. There are creatures here that made some parts of the human world into their own territories, he can feel them all after all. While scanning the entire world is rather tempting with his newly gained ability, divine sense, there would be no fun. He wanted to have fun before returning to his family.

It is dangerous to go against other powerful beings, but who is he? Isn't he Hikaru, someone who, before he became a deity, played with gods like they were his toys?

Then, he will choose the riskiest of things.

World Domination it is!

But first, he needs money… and more money.
