Are you alright? Do you need help?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably because the commotion in the office had been loud, the secretary’s quiet inquiry now came from outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Snap—————!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the secretary pushed the door open, Shengzai snapped his fingers, and the once-majestic Kōkinryū vanished completely from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the young, beautiful secretary—dressed in an OL suit with a full figure—entered the office, she saw Yuichi Jōki slumped on the floor and Shengzai standing calmly beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her boss slumped on the ground and the shattered desk nearby, the young secretary was clearly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who let you in? I’m discussing something important with a guest—get out right now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And warn everyone else: no one is to approach this office without my permission!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The secretary, still stunned, had no chance to ask what happened before Yuichi Jōki erupted in a furious tirade and shoved her out of the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being reprimanded by Yuichi Jōki, the secretary stepped out and immediately wore a look of grievance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had only come in because she heard the noise and feared something was wrong with Yuichi Jōki—yet instead of gratitude, she got yelled at. It was like offering kindness and receiving a donkey’s liver in return!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even as she felt indignant, she found it strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past few years as Yuichi Jōki’s secretary, she’d never seen him lose his temper like this—he was usually calm, and unless it was a matter of principle, he never flew off the handle. Why was he so furious now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And who was that black-haired boy just now? Her workstation was right near Yuichi Jōki’s office—why hadn’t she seen anyone enter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That black-haired boy… looks about the same age as Asuna… Could it be one of those plots?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Like some illegitimate child suddenly returning to claim the inheritance? That’s why Mr. Jōki is so angry and wants no one near the office—and told me not to talk!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The secretary felt she’d uncovered the key point and began spinning wild theories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d just started watching a TV drama with a similar plot, and she knew rich people were always up to something—despite Yuichi Jōki’s stern appearance, he might have more than one illegitimate child outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuichi Jōki, inside the office, had no idea his secretary had already cast him as a playboy tycoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, he had no energy to care—he was filled with deep unease and fear at the sight of Shengzai before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a materialist, Yuichi Jōki never imagined his worldview, built over decades, would shatter today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear of forces beyond comprehension is natural. Though Shengzai was still Shengzai, Yuichi Jōki could no longer see him as just a kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I knew showing my fist would always be more effective than words or reason.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What I did just now was unavoidable. I hope Mr. Jōki will keep this secret—I just want to live quietly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To get back on track: now that you know I possess such power, you must understand—your Jōki family has nothing I could possibly want.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I came here only because I’m Asuna’s friend, and her current coma? It’s entirely your fault.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few hours ago, if Shengzai had claimed to be his daughter’s friend, Yuichi Jōki would have frowned, thinking him a lowly sycophant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now his perception of Shengzai was utterly different—he even felt his daughter was lucky to have such an incredible friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Wen…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just call me Shengzai. I’m actually one year younger than Asuna. You’re her father, I’m her friend—using honorifics feels strange.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Yuichi Jōki felt relieved—and unexpectedly pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Shengzai possessed extraordinary power, he clearly wasn’t some lawless brute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if he was this close to Asuna, then his family’s safety was no longer a concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you say you’re Asuna’s friend, I’ll boldly use your name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shengzai, you say Asuna’s coma is my fault—how is that possible?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuichi Jōki no longer doubted Shengzai was lying—after all, as Shengzai said, while the Jōki family had some wealth, it meant nothing before a true powerhouse like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just in Japan, but even in Tokyo, countless families were richer and more powerful than the Jōkis. For Shengzai to have ulterior motives toward them? That was far too flattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if Shengzai wasn’t lying, Yuichi Jōki truly couldn’t understand—why was his daughter’s coma his fault?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you not noticed? Among the three hundred players, including Asuna Jōki, all their immersion terminal devices were under your RECT Company’s supervision.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If no one tampered with them, why did everyone else wake up—except those under your supervision?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two years ago, to find a way to free the SAO players’ consciousness, major mechanical and electronic manufacturers had studied the immersion devices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>RECT, as a well-known company in the industry, was naturally among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after two years, all technical teams from those companies hit dead ends, and the project was eventually abandoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with Shengzai’s reminder, Yuichi Jōki suddenly remembered—due to his own position, the players assigned to RECT included his daughter, Asuna Jōki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",913,"2026-06-19T15:18:33.595Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d0df9ae2e8475adf483874d46c3aa1f5e3f6ad63e04f251732dcc230f4e59ea0","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-87","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-85",587,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-cover.jpg"]
