3rd Point Of View

"Is this him?" Sukuna asked as he entered the holding cell. Something that most staff didn't know is that Sukuna had many holding cells for criminals and hostages under his temple, parallel to the giant hall that the curse user took over for their own strategizing. The king of curses didn't use his prison cells often, especially not the fancy one that he stood in now, only because he killed those that opposed him almost immediately. But this? This was a special occasion.

"Yes, my king. This is Zhang Yanfei." Hiyate confirmed with a nod, standing behind Sukuna with his hands clasped together infront of his chest. Sukuna smirked victoriously as he towered over a certain embasador of China, enjoying the way he'd almost been stripped naked. Sukuna enjoyed the way Yanfei trembled from the cold- the way his teeth chattered loudly. It was quite a sight to behold for a man that's always had everything laid out for him.

"He's younger than I expected." Sukuna mused as he stared down at the man. Despite Yanfei's beard being fully grown and his hair uncut and shaggy, Sukuna could tell that it was not an old man hiding underneigh. Admittedly, it was exactly that that he expected, an old man who was incredibly overweight. Sukuna found himself very disappointed that Yanfei was the opposite.

"He's in his mid-thirtees, my Lord." Hiyate told the king of curses. Sukuna scoffed, unamused by this information. Just as he was about to quip a sarcastic comeback, Yanfei rose to conciousness and began screaming, releasing muffled yells through the rope wrapped around his mouth. The smirk returned to Sukuna's face when this happened. Sukuna only planned to visit the man briefly, since he'd been eager to do so all day- today being the day Yanfei was brought in by the curse users.

Sukuna only wanted to judge the man for a few minutes before returning back to (Y/n) who was still waiting for him patiently in the throne room, probably still painting that phoenix. But if Yanfei was awake, Sukuna may as well have some fun while he was here.
"Oh, did you say something?" Sukuna asked teasingly with a grin. In response, Yanfei yelled through his ropes. Sukuna waved his hands, motioning towards the curse users to come forward.

"Let him speak." Sukuna ordered, making Hiyate moved forward and pull off the rope that was around Yanfei's mouth. The moment the rope was off, Yanfei began yellimg continuosly, saying strings of words in mandarin that Sukuna did not at all understand.
"What's he saying?" Sukuna asked Hiyate with a raised brow who visibly looked uncomfortable.

"He was to know who you are and why you've captured him...and is offering you gold to let him go." Hiyate translated, having been to China enough to have learned the language. Sukuna laughed at Yanfei's endless and useless questions, never feeling more powerful than he did now.
"You really want to know why you're here?" Sukuna grinned, "I'll give you a hint. You apparently 'liked how tight her walls were as she clenched around your cock when you hit her cerfix'."

Sukuna waited for Hiyate to hesitantly translate his words into mandarin for Hiyate to understand them. The embasador paused for a moment, his eyes holding a sense of recognition.
"(Y/n)?" Yanfei mumbled out with bafflement, making Sukuna want to sneer. He didn't need any translation to help him hear that correctly.

"Oh, so you still remember her? Wow, her cunt must have really made an impression." Sukuna said sarcastically, pushing his words through gritted teeth. Again, his curse user translated his words to Yanfei only to get cut off by the embasador himself, now talking loudly, his voice desperate.
"He's asking if she's alive." Hiyate translated hesitantly, making Sukuna scoff.

"I suppose you'll find out soon, huh?" Sukuna chuckled, "As much as I'd love to kill you, I've decided to let the brat take you into her domain and alter you. Why? Because a man without lust is no longer a man." Sukuna cackled as Hiyate translated his words, excitement clawing at Sukuna's chest, a foreign feeling.
"Her punishment is much crueler than mine, no?" Sukuna then asked.

"Yanfei says he doesn't understand what you're talking about..." Hiyate translated, leaving out the part that Hiyate also had no idea what Sukuna was talking about. It was almost like Sukuna was talking in code and nobody could understand him but him. The king of the curses chuckled.
"But you know...there is something I want to do for myself in the meantime. It will be a while until her domain is ready, after all." Sukuna mumbled, "You enjoyed burning the thighs, yes?"

After Hiyate translated, Sukuna snapped his fingers and fire spread across Yanfei's legs, encasing them in red flames. Yanfei screamed and thrashed, tossing himself side to side but couldn't escape Sukuna's flames. The moment Sukuna deemed to man burned enough, he called off his flames. When they disappeared, Sukuna found himself satisfied with the bubbles and scorches the fire left behind. Sukuna had yet to see (Y/n)'s thighs, and that made him all the more angry that he had no idea how severe the scarring was.

Sukuna smirked as Yanfei sobbed, groaning loudly with pain.
"Cover his mouth again, he's getting a little loud for my liking." Sukuna demanded to Hiyate. The curse user nodded and motioned for the other curse user in the room to retie the rope around the embasadors mouth.
"Hiyate, are you the only member of the curse users that speak mandarin?" Sukuna suddenly asked.

"No, my whole team do- some even speak Cantonese." Hiyate replied, almost as if he were proud, not at all realising what his prideful answer would get him.
"Ah, good. Then I guess I can afford to lose you." Sukuna mumbled as he turned around on his heel, moving so that he faced Hiyate.
"W-what?" Hiyate asked, stuttering. Before the man could take a fearful step back, Sukuna snapped his fingers and Hiyate was suddenly on the floors in six equal pieces.

Sukuna sighed loudly with relief after killing him, his shoulders untensing. He ignored the gasps of user fearful curse users in the room, focusing on how great he felt now that Hiyate was dead.
"Ah, that feels incredible. I've been wanting to do that for so long." Sukuna sighed contently as he stretched, closing his eyes momentarily to bask in the moment. When he opened his eyes, he noticed that Uraume was standing by the door. How long has she been there?

"My lord... you've made a pact with me that you would not kill any members of staff." The lady gently reminded, making Sukuna smirk at her befire chuckling.
"Ah, but that bastard wasn't staff. None of my curse users are. They are merely alliances." Sukuna grinned proudly, "Loopholes, Uraume. Loopholes."
At that, Uraume sighed, watching Sukuna as he began to walk away, saying one last thing before he left,

"Oh, and make sure the embasador doesn't die for me, will you? I've got a brat waiting for me."

"But, my lord, if you didn't correct or punish me...then was that direct permission to continue calling you by your first name?"
