JJK Jogoat 74 (Patreon)

Toji knew very well that he definitely hadn't made a mistake. Although Megumi looked quite different from the image in his memory, the throb from his soul was something he would never forget in this lifetime.

Upon seeing the Special Grade Cursed Spirit holding his son, Toji's expression turned incredibly ferocious, and the muscles in his arms bulged with veins.

"You beast, what have you done to my son!"

Toji would never have imagined that as a dead man, he would have the chance to reappear in the world, and he certainly never expected that his reunion with his son would come at such a life-or-death moment.

Jogo noticed Toji's frantic and furious state, and immediately lifted the unconscious Megumi up with one hand. His fingers moved closer and closer to Megumi's temple, a smile appearing on his face.

"If you take one more step forward, I will crush his head right in front of you."

"You dare!"

Toji went berserk but seeing that Jogo's fingers had already pierced the surface of Megumi's skin, even drawing blood, he had no choice but to force himself to stand still.

"My son, is his name Fushiguro Megumi now?"

"No, his name is Gojo Megumi."

Toji: "???"

He was so angry he laughed on the spot. He knew nothing good would come of entrusting him to that bastard Satoru, but he actually changed his son's surname?

"What will it take for you to let Megumi go? I believe that with his weak strength, he shouldn't be enough to attract the attention of you Special Grade Cursed Spirits."

Although he didn't know Megumi's current strength, Toji could roughly guess that while his son had some talent, he wasn't overpowered. At best, he was a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer.

Jogo completely ignored Toji's razor-sharp gaze, his fingers lightly poking Megumi's temple, his nails already breaking the surface of the skin.

"I believe you are not negotiating with us right now, but rather looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, wanting to snatch your son from my hands, aren't you?"

Toji's body stiffened, he had clearly been seen through.

As someone at the pinnacle of physical prowess, how could he possibly listen to someone else's threats?

He had intended to snatch him back by force, but now that his intentions had been exposed, he dared not act rashly.

Seeing this reaction from Toji, Jogo understood that he had guessed correctly and continued with a smile, "How about this? Our current enemy is you. After all, you could turn into a beast that only knows how to fight against the strong at any moment, driven only by instinct."

"And strong beings like us, who possess massive fluctuations of Cursed Energy within our bodies, will be the biggest targets for you when you are driven by instinct. Therefore, you are a major threat to us."

"We don't really care about Megumi, it's only because you and he have a blood relationship. As long as you commit suicide now, we will let him go. How about that?"

Upon hearing the demand that he commit suicide, Toji sneered and was just about to refuse and mock them.

Just then, he noticed from the corner of his eye Dagon surrounding him from the rear, as well as Mahito, whose Cursed Technique had finally finished cooling down and had fully recovered. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He understood that he no longer had any chance of turning the tables, even as the Sorcerer Killer. Before him were three Special Grade Cursed Spirits, and this was their home turf. His son's life was also in their hands. Everything was, so to speak, stacked against him.

"Fine. I am but a dead man. It's nothing more than dying one more time. If it can buy Megumi's survival, then my death is not a pity."

"I hope you can keep your promise."

Toji's expression was calm. He didn't trust the three Special Grade Cursed Spirits in front of him, he simply had no other choice.

If he chose to fight, he would most likely be killed by these three Special Grade Cursed Spirits, and Megumi would lose his life as a result.

If he chose to commit suicide, although he would die, Megumi would have a chance to survive.

His pitch-black pupils gradually transformed into the black-and-white clarity of a normal person. The last thing to flash through his eyes was Megumi's sleeping face.

Splurt!

Toji inserted the snapped-in-two Playful Cloud into his own temples, his body collapsing downward, but his gaze remained fixed on the unconscious Megumi.

Do you know why your name is Megumi? It's because you are my blessing from the heavens.

Following Toji's suicide, his body returned to its original form, reverting back to the blonde man from the beginning.

Dagon floated on the sea surface, dumbfounded, the dents on his body not yet fully recovered, staring blankly at Toji's corpse.

"Seriously,? You beat me up for so long, and in the end, you just committed suicide?"

Mahito walked over, looking with a grin at the now cold Toji, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Jogo, are we really going to keep our promise to that human just now and let go of this person in your hands?"

Jogo grinned, gripping Megumi's neck with one hand. "Who told you I was going to keep the promise? He didn't make a Binding Vow with me, so of course I'm going to go back on it. Hahahaha."
