"Tell your family to move in two weeks. If they don't, I will really come to them."
Suzuki said nothing after receiving Gojo's land transfer sign and immediately evicted Gojo and his family from the house.
Was he cruel?
No, he was merciful since, compared to Gojo, who wanted to turn him into a brain-damaged person, which either forced him to be in the hospital for a year or two, or even brain-damaged, he just wanted the Gojo Family's wealth.
And Gojo agreed with it, since Gojo knew that he couldn't stop Suzuki.
It was clear that Suzuki was a sociopath, and he clearly didn't care about the others. More importantly, it was clear that he was ruthless to his enemy.
If there was a reason why Suzuki didn't kill Gojo before, it was because he had never wanted to make Gojo an enemy, and to be honest, it was impossible to kill Gojo.
Gojo's concept of Infinity itself and Suzuki's technique, the Projection Sorcery, were different from Sukuna's technique, Dismantle.
Hmm... wait a moment, it seems... I can do it...'
If Suzuki kept thinking desperately, he knew well that he would have a chance, a moment to kill Gojo completely, but at what price?
What would happen if the world knew that he had killed the strongest?
Suzuki would become the monster, and by then, he would be targeted by the world; there would be a never-ending series of assassinations, and there were also the villains, who hid in the dark, ready to bring ruin to the world.
Lastly, there was politics, and all other troublesome things!
When Suzuki thought about all of that, he realized that the ROI (Return-Of-Investment) that came from letting Gojo stay alive was much better than having him die. He wasn't afraid of trouble, yet if he could avoid it, making Gojo into a lightning rod to attract all the trouble, as he just lazed around in his own home, it was clear, right?
"Did you think something rude about me?"
"I do."
"..." Gojo.
"From now on, all of your family's wealth is mine. Go home and tell your family, the Strongest."
"....." Gojo.
"...you really don't care about anything except for money?"
Gojo knew money was important, but, frankly, even if he lost it all, he didn't care, since he had many ways to make more.
"It's not that I care about money, but it is the most realistic punishment in this era." Suzuki looked at Gojo boredly. "I am fundamentally different from you. I don't seek to kill people. It's too unclean, ugly, and dirty. Instead of killing them, I want them to work for me, and make money for me, which is more beneficial for society, right?"
"....." Gojo.
So, did Suzuki release him just because he had value?
It was Gojo's first time being treated like this, since everyone either treated him like a monster, worshiped him like a god, or just treated him like an annoying guy.
Still, was Gojo such a clown-like guy?
No, Gojo wasn't, but he acted like one, which created dissonance for everyone who saw him. It would humanize him, as being the strongest meant that he was above everyone, so naturally, if he acted like Suzuki, everyone would distance themselves from him and act around him in a submissive manner, which was why he acted like a clown, as that way, it made it easier for people to get close to him.
"...I don't know what to say."
Gojo felt such strange emotions, as if Suzuki were just different from anyone he had seen.
"Then, don't say anything. Tell your family to pack their things since everything is mine now, but don't worry, I am not a devil, so if you pick some of the treasures to run away, I won't say anything. Still, all the lands, immovable property, and immovable goods are mine, so you should tell your family, or they will curse you to death."
"They won't. They are too weak."
"That's true." Suzuki nodded. "You are the strongest, after all."
Gojo frowned. "Was that sarcasm?"
"That's right."
"I like you."
"I hate you."
Gojo laughed happily even though he had lost the lands of his family.
"But, you can't defend against the Unlimited Void, huh? Then, won't you have a chance to kill me?"
Gojo's ability revolved around the concept of Infinity, and as Suzuki was able to defend against the Unlimited Void, wouldn't Suzuki be able to bypass his Infinity?
"Why do I want to kill you?"
"Don't you hate me?"
"I do hate you, but do you think you should just kill all those whom you hate?" Suzuki looked at Gojo strangely. "You are such a messed-up guy."
"...." Gojo.
"Well, considering your experience as the strongest, I think it is perfectly normal for you to always think of killing and killing."
"Right?"
Being the strongest was troublesome, as Gojo had to prepare for all of those who wanted to kill him.
Assassins, cursed spirits, cursed users, his own family, the other families, the Elders, and many others!
Being the strongest made him a target for everyone, but Gojo didn't care, as they were all weak.
This was also the reason why Suzuki didn't really want to be like Gojo. He knew this man was a good person, yet being good in this world was tough.
"Take some sweets with you."
"You are kind."
"...did you forget that I just evicted your family from your own house?"
"It's fine. It's fine. I am the one who is wrong anyway."
Gojo waved his hand, thinking that the land and all the properties were priced low, as he knew well that he couldn't stop Suzuki.
Yes, Suzuki, at this moment, was chill and just wanted to laze around, but Gojo could tell that once Suzuki was angered, no one could stop him.
Even Gojo didn't think he could stop him.
Gojo's eyes might be able to track, but it was impossible to do it all the time, and even if he could protect himself, he couldn't protect others, and more importantly—
"Maki, you have skipped school for a long time! Aren't you going to return?"
Gojo's student, Maki Zenin, had been staying by Suzuki's side, which made her skip school for a long time.
"Everyone is waiting for you, you know?
Especially Yuuta, Gojo thought, but he wouldn't say it.
"No, I am going to stay here, Gojo-sensei."
Maki made up her mind to support Suzuki, and because of that, she probably would quit school. As for her connection there, it wasn't like they were that close to begin with, and even if they lived separately, their friendship wasn't broken, right?
Yet, while she said so, she put her gentle gaze on Suzuki.
"Yuuta is going to cry..."
Gojo muttered with a helpless sigh.
"What?"
Maki tilted her head, looking at Gojo in confusion.
"No, nothing." Gojo quickly turned his attention to Suzuki once again and asked, "So, what's your plan after this?"
"What do you mean?"
"Don't pretend like you are confused."
"I mean it, what do you mean? Aren't you clear what I will be doing?"
What would Suzuki do after this?
Except for making money and improving his life, he didn't care about the rest.
As for changing the status quo of the Jujutsu world and all other things, at this moment, he didn't think that it was necessary for him, as it was troublesome, and frankly, he didn't have that ambition either. All he thought of was managing the Zenin family, and that was enough, as no one could touch him either, as he was the Clan Head of the Zenin Clan.
In this world, who was stupid enough to challenge a group of lunatics who would beat up their own family members just because they were weak?
"Instead of me, I think that it is you who should be minding your own business. I am fine as long as you leave me alone, but you come and cause trouble."
"..." Gojo.
What could Gojo say?
"So, are you not curious about what I will do?"
"I am not."
"Why?!"
"Because it will be nothing but just to change the status quo of everything, right? Besides changing the corrupt Elders and making the Jujutsu society better, what else?"
"Er..."
Suzuki didn't urge Gojo, or rather, he didn't even bother to listen since he knew well what Gojo wanted to do.
"But, I will come to you when I need you."
"Don't."
"It's too late~! See you, Suzuki-kun~!"
Gojo didn't care about Suzuki's answer and left immediately via teleportation.
"..."
"...I will bill him expensively."
Suzuki was exhausted and just thought to rest, but when he lay down, he felt a gentle, springy, softness, and he looked up to see Maki let him rest on her body.
"Rest, okay?"
"..." Suzuki.
