Since using magical power to enhance physical abilities is the most basic skill for a sorcerer, Man and Sukuna traveled while enhancing their physical abilities and arrived in Aizu before dark.

At this time, Aizu was jointly ruled by families of all sizes, the largest of which was the Fujiwara clan, to which Man belonged.

Led by Man, Sukuna arrived at the residence of the Fujiwara clan and found the head of the Fujiwara clan.

"Wan? What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing Wan appear before him, the head of the Fujiwara family looked puzzled. After all, not long ago, he had personally instructed Wan to go out and visit the shrine. Wan should be on his way to the shrine now, not here.

So Wan recounted his experiences to the head of the Fujiwara family, from encountering the demon to being saved by Sukuna, detailing every single aspect:

"...If it weren't for my benefactor, I probably would have died there. Father, you must repay my benefactor for me."

As she spoke, Wan came to the side of the Fujiwara family head, took his hand, and began to act coquettishly.

The head of the Fujiwara family smiled helplessly. He had no way to deal with this daughter. He then looked at Sukuna, who was standing to the side, and sized him up.

To be honest, when Fujiwara first saw Sukuna, he was frightened by his four-eyed and four-armed appearance. He thought that Sukuna was a monster who had kidnapped Man and wanted to extort him. He never expected that Sukuna was the benefactor who saved Man.

"You really can't judge a book by its cover."

The head of the Fujiwara family smiled and shook his head, then spoke:

"Tell me, what do you want? You saved my daughter. Whatever you want, I will do my best to satisfy you, as long as it is within my power."

Faced with the promise from the head of the Fujiwara family, Sukuna naturally didn't stand on ceremony; he directly stated the words he had conceived along the way:

"I don't want anything. I came here simply to see you and share my understanding of this world with you."

"Oh?"

This was the first time the Fujiwara clan head had ever seen someone like Sukuna who wanted nothing. He became interested in Sukuna's "understanding of the world" and extended his hand, indicating:

"Please speak, I am all ears."

Su Nuo nodded and began to explain:

"In my view, the world is essentially a place where landlords and nobles monopolize land and exploit the common people through personal dependence and hierarchical privileges."

This created a problem: the exploitation of the working people, the solidification of social classes, and the use of feudal ethics to imprison thought resulted in a closed and backward small-scale peasant economy, which seriously hindered social and productive development.

Therefore, feudalism is a backward and unjust system of exploitation that violates equality and freedom. It will inevitably be replaced by an advanced social system, and feudal dross must be completely discarded…

As Sukuna continued speaking, the Fujiwara family head's smile froze and eventually disappeared completely.

Originally, the head of the Fujiwara family had a slight appreciation for Sukuna, but after Sukuna uttered these treasonous words, in the eyes of the Fujiwara family, he was practically synonymous with a traitor.

Because what he said was correct.

However, the head of the Fujiwara family, out of consideration for Sukuna, who was Wan's savior, didn't immediately break ties with him. After Sukuna finished speaking, he asked again:

"In your opinion, this era is so unbearable... So what do you think should be done for this era to be considered right?"

Sukuna didn't catch the warning in Fujiwara's words. In his opinion, Fujiwara asked the question because he agreed with what he had just said and was eager to solve the problems of this era.

Su Nuo said with anticipation:

"I believe that to resolve this predicament, five points need to be achieved, namely:"

Break the land monopoly, achieve a rational allocation of land, and prevent social classes from exploiting others through land.

Abolish the class system, implement equality of status for all, and eliminate hereditary privileges.

We must liberate our minds and ideas, abandon outdated feudal ethics, and advocate independent and free thinking and cognition.

Develop a new type of economy, replace the outdated small-scale farming model, and promote the progress and development of productivity.

Establish a fair system, improve the rule system, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the grassroots people...

Hearing these words, the Fujiwara family head's expression grew increasingly strange. His eyes twitched as he looked at Sukuna's longing expression, confirming that the guy in front of him was no good.

"Wan, you should leave first. Your benefactor and I have important matters to discuss."

The head of the Fujiwara family said this to Man, who glanced at Sukuna, then obediently nodded and left the room, closing the door behind him.

As Wan's footsteps faded into the distance, the head of the Fujiwara family lost all patience for Sukuna's words. He coughed lightly, interrupting Sukuna, and said coldly:

"I don't know where you heard these blasphemous words. But since you saved Wan Yi's life, I won't do anything to you. Go away and never show your face here again."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Su Nuo was somewhat puzzled. What he had just said was clearly a way to enable more people to live a better life. Given the size of the Fujiwara family head, if he wanted to, he could immediately make the suffering commoners under his command live a life free from worries about food and drink.

However, the words of the head of the Fujiwara family had already made his position clear; he did not believe that Sukuna was correct.

Su Nuo didn't understand:

"Why? You could save so many people."

The head of the Fujiwara family's face darkened. He didn't know if Sukuna was genuinely stupid or pretending, but it was time for Sukuna to face reality:

"You ask why? Then let me ask you, why should I give my money and my land to those lowly creatures? Even if they freeze to death in the snow, starve to death in famine, or are killed in war, it has nothing to do with me. I don't care how they live; I only care about myself."

"And you, if you don't leave here soon, I won't care whether you saved Wan or not; I'll suspect that the convoy was attacked by monsters, and that you orchestrated it to get close to me and spread your evil teachings."

Upon hearing this, Sukuna was struck dumb. He was not only shocked that the head of the Fujiwara family had denied his ideas, but also that he had used the fact that Sukuna had saved Man to threaten him.

Su Nuo clenched his fists tightly, and the immense magical power within his body began to surge restlessly. He stared at the richly dressed man in front of him, feeling as if he were looking at a madman.

"This is utterly incomprehensible."

Su Nuo didn't make a move. Taking action on someone else's turf would only make things worse. He simply left those words behind and then turned and left without looking back...

"My benefactor, where are you going?"

Just as Sukuna was about to step out of the Fujiwara clan's residence, a childish voice came from behind him. Turning around, he saw Wan standing there, looking puzzled.

Su Nuo said:

"I don't know, but I think... at least I should get out of here first."

"Is that so..."

Wan didn't understand the hidden meaning in Sukuna's words, nor did she know that this might be their final farewell. She thought that the head of the Fujiwara family had already repaid Sukuna on her behalf, so she waved and smiled.

"Then you should come visit me when you have time!"

After hearing this, Su Nuo remained silent for a few seconds. He didn't respond, but simply left...
