Chapter 46: No Permanent Enemies
"Oh my, old man, who cut off your fingers? They really don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young."
Alex Moyan spoke up, and in the next second, he appeared before the member of the Jujutsu Higher-ups whose fingers had been severed by the water dragon sword.
At this moment, that member of the Jujutsu Higher-ups was miserably picking up his scattered fingers.
He had just finished picking them up and was preparing to store them in ice, seeing if there was still time to reattach them.
Although he was old, he still wanted to be buried with a complete body.
But before he could, he was spotted by that Bringer of Calamity.
Alex Moyan grabbed the hand of the member of the Jujutsu Higher-ups and snatched the bloody fingers away.
The other members of the Jujutsu Higher-ups around them were startled.
"What do you want to do?!"
"We've already agreed to your demands, what more do you want!"
Facing everyone's shock, Alex Moyan's absolute strength made them afraid to act rashly.
Alex Moyan didn't say much.
Instead, he used the Reverse Cursed Technique to reattach the severed fingers of that member of the Jujutsu Higher-ups.
Seeing this scene, the members of the Jujutsu Higher-ups were all speechless, their faces filled with surprise.
Reverse Cursed Technique? And it's a Reverse Cursed Technique that can even heal others!
One must know that in the entire Jujutsu World, there were very few Jujutsu Sorcerers who could master the Reverse Cursed Technique; they could be counted on one hand.
Even these old fogies, who had cultivated for a lifetime, had not a single one among them who could master the Reverse Cursed Technique.
In the entire Jujutsu World, Jujutsu Sorcerers who could use the Reverse Cursed Technique to heal others...
...there was only one: a student from Jujutsu High in the same year as Alex Moyan—Shoko Ieiri!
No matter how decayed or idiotic these old geezers were, they understood that Shoko Ieiri's value was even higher than that of a Special Grade Sorcerer.
After all, who doesn't get injured sometimes?
And Shoko Ieiri, who could use the Reverse Cursed Technique to heal others, was the best surgeon in the world, bar none!
It was no wonder the adult Shoko Ieiri walked around with panda eyes all day; it was from the exhaustion of high-intensity work.
Even the strongest of the modern era, Satoru, and the Special Grade Geto Suguru could not use the Reverse Cursed Technique to heal others.
In fact, in Alex Moyan's memory, Geto Suguru hadn't even mastered the Reverse Cursed Technique at all.
Otherwise, how could he have ended up half-dead and severely injured after clashing powers with Yuta Okkotsu / Okkotsu Yuta?
At the very least, he could have healed himself a bit.
Could it be that he didn't save any Cursed Energy for healing during the clash?
It was quite possible!
Regardless, Alex Moyan currently saw no sign of Geto Suguru mastering the Reverse Cursed Technique.
Looking at his reattached fingers, the member of the Jujutsu Higher-ups tried moving them.
Surprisingly, there wasn't the slightest bit of discomfort.
It was as if they had never been severed at all.
Medically speaking, this was an impossibility.
Everyone's gaze toward Alex Moyan was no longer filled with the previous malice and hatred, but with longing.
Which clan wouldn't want a healer!
Although their clans occasionally produced one or two Jujutsu Sorcerers who leaned toward healing...
...when it came to treatment, the Reverse Cursed Technique was still the fastest, most convenient, and most effective.
For a moment, the gazes the Jujutsu Higher-ups directed at Alex Moyan began to soften.
They understood this world well: there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.
This was exactly why Alex Moyan chose to treat this higher-up—to demonstrate his unique value.
Although Alex Moyan did not fear these old guys, killing them would likely throw the entire Jujutsu World into chaos, and he would become a public enemy of the Jujutsu World.
Now was not the time to kill them.
His influence hadn't grown enough yet; once his power base was established, Alex Moyan would reign over the entire Jujutsu World!
As for the Jujutsu Higher-ups, although they had been fleeced of thirty percent of their assets by Alex Moyan...
...fundamentally speaking, if it weren't for their greed, such an incident wouldn't have occurred.
Such an excellent and exceptionally talented Jujutsu Sorcerer was someone they were seeing for the first time in their lives.
Even the talent shown by the Six Eyes of the Gojo Family likely didn't match the person before them.
Two of the higher-ups even felt an impulse to add another ten percent of their assets just to exchange for the chance to have Alex Moyan sire a child for their clans.
One must know that a Jujutsu Sorcerer's technique is innate; eighty percent of their strength is determined at birth.
The stronger the bloodline, the stronger the offspring will be.
That's why only the Gojo Family bloodline can produce the Six Eyes, only the Zenin Family bloodline can produce the Ten Shadows Technique, and only the Kamo Family bloodline can use Blood Manipulation.
And Geto Suguru's descendants would very likely inherit his Cursed Technique, Cursed Spirit Manipulation.
This was why the protagonist of Jujutsu, Itadori Yuji / Yuji Itadori, could only use physical arts and Black Flash when fighting.
Because he didn't have a Cursed Technique of his own, and Cursed Techniques cannot be learned.
Even for Alex Moyan, when he mastered a new Cursed Technique, it was directly etched into his body and mind.
————————
"By the way, I want a commendation ceremony."
Near the end, Alex Moyan suddenly spoke up.
The corners of the old geezers' mouths from the Jujutsu Higher-ups twitched involuntarily.
They thought to themselves, this kid mentioned a commendation ceremony as soon as he walked in.
Now that he's about to leave, he still wants a commendation ceremony.
Although they didn't know his intentions, the higher-ups readily agreed.
After all, Alex Moyan had just single-handedly wiped out three major Curse User organizations two days ago.
He had also resolved Master Tengen's crisis.
This was a great achievement, known to everyone in the Jujutsu World.
If the Jujutsu Higher-ups didn't show some appreciation, they would seem too stingy.
How could they then expect their subordinates to work hard and risk their lives for them?
Moreover, the reward this time was so generous that they would have arranged it even if Alex Moyan hadn't mentioned it.
After all, that was ten billion! Plus ten properties and luxury cars in Tokyo and Kyoto.
Added up, it probably amounted to around twenty billion. One must know that the money-grubber Mei Mei has only saved 50 billion after working for so many years.
How long had Alex Moyan been at it? He was already nearly catching up to half of Mei Mei's life's work.
However, Alex Moyan didn't think as much as those old geezers from the higher-ups.
He simply wanted to show off.
To enjoy the sight of everyone admiring, respecting, and being jealous of him.
Being low-key was impossible, and even if Alex Moyan wanted to be low-key, he couldn't.
Everything concluded, and all matters were settled. Alex Moyan walked out of that eerie room.
He hadn't gone far outside when a Jujutsu Sorcerer appeared before Alex Moyan.
He very respectfully invited Alex Moyan for a discussion.
Alex Moyan was a bit curious, so he agreed.
Led by that Jujutsu Sorcerer, Alex Moyan twisted and turned through a winding path and arrived at a room.
Alex Moyan entered the room and immediately saw an old man.
"I wonder why the Kamo Clan Head invited me here. Is there something you need?"
Alex Moyan recognized the old man before him at a glance; he was one of the higher-ups from the room just now and the current head of the Kamo Family.
The Kamo Clan Head smiled and invited Alex Moyan to sit, very hospitably brewing tea for him.
Alex Moyan didn't drink the tea. Instead, he sat there without saying a word, staring at the Kamo Clan Head.
Alex Moyan wasn't afraid that the Kamo Clan Head would poison him; after all, poison couldn't kill him.
He was just wondering why this old bastard was being so polite. What was he up to?
Alex Moyan had just carved a huge chunk of flesh from his hand; if the man didn't hate him to death, he'd have to admire his magnanimity.
But in the next second, the Kamo Clan Head's words caused Alex Moyan's brain to stall.
