Mafia Boss To Another World-Chapter 42: Time Has Come

"Huuh!"

A long sigh of warm air created mist on the cold air.

Robert Jr. rested his head on his hands at his chin, gazing at the sky through the window.

His mind was adrift, his gaze vacant, his face full of questions and confusion.

’It’s been a week since that incident, and it keeps shadowing my thoughts. Choi Hyun-ah is becoming more attached to me; she often meets me in the office room, occasionally massaging my shoulders even though I don’t ask, even feeding me like a wife. Strangely, her behavior actually makes my heart calmer, and I can’t refuse her offers. It feels like a soul tie or something.’

A confused Robert Jr. got up from his chair.

He tidied his messy hair, performed his morning routine after waking up, changed from pajamas into work clothes, and then went to the sink in the bathroom.

While brushing his teeth, his mind drifted again as he remembered Choi Hyun-ah’s smile, which had looked sweet and sincere over the past week.

’Wait... But isn’t she just a normal human? How could we be connected, especially since I am a descendant of non-earthly beings. This makes me very confused.’

Robert Jr. rinsed his mouth, spat out the water, cleaned his toothbrush, then placed it in the top drawer.

He took a small towel to wipe the remaining water from his face and hands.

He left the bathroom, heading toward the office room.

His mind, still filled with the tangled threads of unexpected attraction to Choi Hyun-ah and anxiety over the impending ritual, pushed him to move with a strange urgency.

Robert Jr. always appreciated this silence, but today, the silence felt like a breath-holding pause, as if the entire house was awaiting a decision or destruction he was about to bring.

He instinctively looked for signs of presence, scanning shadows and every maid’s bedroom door.

He finally reached the large wooden door of his office room. His slightly trembling right hand reached for the cold metal doorknob.

After opening the door, he entered his private domain.

The scent of sandalwood and old paper greeted him, a smell that should have been calming but now felt like a beehive ready to attack.

He closed the door softly, locking it with two turns of the knob for absolute privacy.

Robert Jr. walked across the thick carpet, pulled his large chair, then slumped into the chair with a muffled thud.

He did not turn on the desk lamp.

Instead, he let the faint, bluish morning light from the window penetrate the room, sitting in his chair like a king who had lost his crown during the night and now had to decide how to get it back.

’It seems I woke up too early. My aunt will give birth in two weeks. Is the mana reserves in my body enough to perform the ritual? But what worries me is, how can I calm Auntie’s heart when her child disappears? Should I follow her suggestion, which is to kill her? Hmm... It seems if I let her live, Auntie might also be traumatized, blaming me constantly. And subordinates like Park Eunji and Choi Hyun-ah, who are still new to my Family, might also be shocked. What should I do, Is there no way out?’

Robert Jr. held his head with both hands, rubbing his slightly chaotic hair, sighed, then rested his head on the desk, his body limp. His eyes turned to the cabinet clock in the left corner.

Robert Jr. usually woke up exactly at six in the morning, a habit he maintained with perfect military discipline.

However, this morning, the cabinet clock in the corner showed five, an hour earlier.

This time difference was a direct reflection of his inner turmoil.

He could no longer enjoy the deep sleep he usually got.

’What should I do? Should I tell Auntie earlier? But what if she refuses? Fine, maybe I’ll just go along with her suggestion.’

"Tch, this isn’t like me. Since that woman came, my heart has started to soften."

He snorted sharply.

"She’s also my father’s mistress. Why should I pity her? If they want to mock me, I’ll destroy them all at once."

Robert Jr. leaned back, tilting his head up.

His mouth began to open, then he burst into hysterical laughter until tears flowed down his cheeks.

"This, this is the real me. Why should I pity an earth creature?"

His hysterical laughter erupted, a cold howl: "Hahahaha!"

Then he slammed the desk with a loud bang, clutching his chest tightly until his work shirt looked messy. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

He smiled, looking at the room door.

A dark aura mist erupted from his body, his face slowly changing: horns on his forehead slowly appeared, accompanied by a cracking sound, his pupils narrowed like slits.

His tongue came out, licking down to his chin; his face turned into a Demon.

"Haah, haah... What if they saw me like this? Seeing their desperate faces fills me with glee! Hehehehihi."

His eyes were wide open, his dark aura sweeping across the room.

His gaze was directed at the ceiling, his wide grin showing satisfaction.

He spread both his arms, his long claws moving slowly.

"Oh no... Calm down, self, Huff Huff."

Robert Jr. buried his face in his hands. His body slowly returned to normal, and the long claws on his fingers began to shrink. He sat back down with a sharp gaze.

’I almost lost control. She said that if I completely lose control, those hunters she mentioned will come to earth and hunt me. Fortunately, my aura is not that strong yet. If I lose control and kill earth creatures indiscriminately, my aura will indeed strengthen by absorbing dark energy. However, my power level will remain the same, and that is why she warned me not to be reckless.’

Robert Jr. closed his eyes, calming himself until he was completely composed.

He folded his hands on his stomach, leaning back in his chair.

...

Two weeks later.

During that time, Robert Jr. returned to his work routine as usual.

Although Choi Hyun-ah was clingy, he remained cold and ignored her.

After work, he also gathered Mana in the basement room, until the time came for his Auntie to give birth to her child.

That afternoon, Robert Jr. sat in the long chair in his office room, calmly sipping tea while waiting for the child to be born. He was accompanied by Choi Hyun-ah, as usual.

Choi Hyun-ah massaged his shoulders gently.

She smiled cheerfully.

"Young Master, is my massage good?"

Robert Jr., who had put down his teacup, turned back, gently holding Choi Hyun-ah’s right hand.

"It’s good. But I want you to sit here, close to me."

Robert Jr. smiled. Choi Hyun-ah nodded happily.

Usually, she was the one offering herself, but now Robert Jr. was offering.

She sat to Robert Jr.’s right. Her small mouth came close to his ear, whispering faintly.

"Young Master, have you been able to answer my love confession from before?"

Choi Hyun-ah pressed herself against him until her breast pressed against Robert Jr.’s right arm. Her face, which was very close to him, made Choi Hyun-ah’s breath and sweet scent feel strong.

"Ahem. That part is pressing against me. Don’t get too close. The shoulder is enough. And also, I still can’t decide, so be patient."

Choi Hyun-ah happily moved herself away, then sat close to him.

Her shoulder touched Robert Jr.’s shoulder, and her head rested on it.

She closed her eyes, placing both her hands on her thighs.

"Young Master, somehow, I feel like I have a strong connection with you. Every night I have strange dreams; they feel like they’re not from this world. And in that dream, I see a winged creature like an angel whose face looks like yours. In there, I call you ’husband.’ Are we some kind of destiny, or is it all just an illusion because I like you so much?"

Robert Jr., who was sitting close to her, opened his eyes.

He narrowed his eyes, glancing at Choi Hyun-ah from the side, whose head was resting on his shoulder.

’Hmm... Something is strange. Is that a flashback of myself? In the book given to me, I once read about reincarnation, but the explanation in it is not necessarily valid. Moreover, I am not entirely the race mentioned. The most unsettling thing is that I also have an attraction to her. Is this a coincidence? It’s impossible that she’s just dreaming.’

Robert Jr. remained silent. He took another sip of his tea, pretending not to hear or care about what Choi Hyun-ah said.

Not long after, the room door was forced open.

Park Eunji appeared in a panic.

She walked quickly closer, then saluted.

Robert Jr. and Choi Hyun-ah were shocked when the door opened harshly; they both immediately looked at Park Eunji.

"Young Master, please excuse the interruption, the M-Madam is due to give birth! The other servants have contacted the doctor. I will immediately return to the Madam’s room after giving this information."

Robert Jr. stood up then went up to the second floor with Choi Hyun-ah and Park Eunji.

They headed toward Ryu Mee-Yon’s private room.

Other servants were seen preparing items for the birth.

Robert Jr., who was midway, stopped briefly. He smiled faintly, his eyes flashing cold.

’The time has come.’
