In America, Suzune widened her eyes when she saw her phone rejected.
She couldn't believe what she was seeing because in her entire life, she had never experienced this.
She may have been a frequent victim of racism, but no one had ever rejected her charms - not even the men in her family whether in Japan or America.
"Hmm, your plan has been read," said the woman standing next to Suzune's bedroom door. She was leaning against the door, wearing a short nightgown that only reached halfway up her thighs.
Of course, she was Rebecca, Suzune's mother.
Since she was already wearing a nightgown, so her hair was already loose. It was long, bushy, and wavy.
Hearing her words, Suzune pressed her lips together and forcefully hid her anger.
"Do you have any suggestions?" she asked.
"It seems that the usual means are useless, so it might not be worth continuing to do this," Rebecca replied.
"You're the one who told me to do this." Suzune reminded her.
"I just want to see how that guy responds. Since the ordinary way is useless, let's use the unusual way." Right after saying that, Rebecca's lips suddenly curved, making her rather cold face extremely charming due to her smile.
"What are you planning to do?" Suzune spontaneously asked, but in a very low voice.
She knew this woman well, a greedy woman who could do anything for her own benefit.
And of course, she was cold-blooded. She rarely showed a smile and whenever she smiled, she was definitely planning something bad. Sometimes it was not only bad for others, but also bad for herself.
It even caused Suzune to always think all sorts of bad things in her were because of her mother's blood.
In their large family, her uncles were always wary of her even though she was just a woman.
Because they knew, in attacking the enemy, her way was the most dangerous.
Rebecca did not answer Suzune's question, she only said, "if nothing is wrong, we should be able to catch that man."
"Catch him?" Suzune was a little surprised to hear that.
She was a powerful superhuman and she could tell that it wasn't easy to catch her. Although she wasn't sure of Arthur's strength, if the man was for example on par with her alone, to capture him would require a really complicated plan.
Meanwhile, Rebecca continued, "my plan of course requires sacrifice, each of us will make sacrifices, so are you ready to do it for a greater power?"
Hearing her words, Suzune could not help but begin to guess her plan, something that made her eyes flutter for a moment.
She took a deep breath and replied, "I know he's a serious threat to us, but why are you so eager to capture him, even in such a way?"
Suzune was getting confused.
In fact; the reason she called Arthur again after their first video call was because of her mother's orders, all because of that woman's wishes.
At first, she just wanted to play around with Arthur, wondering why he wanted to contact her. What did the young magus want from her?
She also hoped to be able to control him because he would definitely be a good helper for her, but of course, she would take it slow without overreacting.
However, when her mother found out about it, she started ordering her to do all this -- from trying to get close to Arthur by flirting with him to teaching her magic.
If it wasn't for her mother's orders, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths just to learn magic. After all, she also already had her own powers.
The problem was that she couldn't refuse her mother's orders because there were too many things where she depended on her. Plus, the woman was also quite cruel even to her if she tried to disobey her.
Of course, ehe was often upset about having such a mother, but for the sake of her goals and ideals, she was able to endure without experiencing any mental problems.
Perhaps she was already mentally troubled from the start and she was able to live as usual even with that condition so it seemed like he was fine.
"Why not?" Rebecca replied. "He is the key to a greater future. You don't want to keep doing nonsense like feeling great because you're one of the officers of a world-controlling organization, do you?"
"Why would you say that?" Suzune was interested in the first sentence Rebecca said.
The latter was staring towards the outside of the room where a beautiful maid came with a tray in her hand.
A cup stood on the tray, filled with wine whose aroma wafted up to ten meters.
Rebecca took the cup and drank the wine in it. When the maid left, she said, "don't be happy with your strength now, you might still be able to increase three or four times stronger than now in the future when the research is successful, but never expect more than that, like reaching an unreasonable point. If you want to reach that point, magic is the only way."
"What, what do you mean?" Suzune was instantly shocked when she heard Rebecca tell her she could not reach an unreasonable point.
"The point is that there are limits that are impossible to cross in evolution," Rebecca replied.
"How is that possible? Evolution is something that has no limits." Suzune showed an expression of disbelief.
"Hmph, do you think you're smarter than me?" Rebecca snorted, and seemed uninterested in continuing to talk about evolution.
Why would she know that?
Because she was one of the researchers.
This doesn't mean the others don't know, but they just think that they haven't found the key yet.
However, Rebecca was pretty sure about that.
The difference between her and the others was that she could easily accept reality.
"That man, Arthur, is not just an ordinary magus, I know that," she continued, addressing Arthur once again.
"From him, we can find an infinite path. To obtain and control that man, not to mention a little sacrifice, even sacrificing everything is no problem at all. I don't mind starting life again as a homeless if I can obtain his knowledge."
