Im Yu-na's voice flowed out from the smartphone.
"-Mr. Sung Yu-jin. This is Im Yu-na."
"Yes. Please continue."
"-...If it's not too late, I'd like to meet separately and talk."
"I'm quite busy right now, so I can't spare much time."
"-It won't take long. From your perspective, Mr. Sung Yu-jin, can you see the building to your right? I'm in there."
Im Yu-na was right nearby. Not just her, but the police special forces, snipers, and others were probably watching me from close by. It wasn't surprising since I already knew that.
"Understood."
I replied with a grin.
The reason Im Yu-na had urgently contacted me. It was because she was a clairvoyant ability user.
The 120,000 believers gathered here. Beneath the identical clothes they all wore, firearms were concealed.
The one hour I'd given the president.
That meant if he didn't come within the hour, I'd storm the Blue House.
'Im Yu-na, who confirmed through clairvoyance that all 120,000 were armed, must have felt her heart drop to the floor.'
Im Yu-na would negotiate with me. To prevent 120,000 cult-obsessed people from rising up with guns.
'Of course, it might be a trap.'
But I had 120,000 armed believers, Complete Recovery, and a Spatial Movement scroll.
I glanced back at Shim Jong-pil.
'Better to leave this guy here.'
This place was being live-streamed on the internet. Even if they figured out Shim Jong-pil had brainwashing system abilities, they couldn't snipe him. The moment they did, it wouldn't just be a cult issue anymore. With believers present and all eyes in Korea on this spot, it was the safest place.
And I'd prepared for any contingency.
"Believers! An urgent matter has come up! Three hours! I promise to return within three hours, so please wait!"
"Yes! Apostle! We'll wait!"
"We'll wait!!!"
The believers voiced no complaints.
What if I didn't return in three hours?
'Su-gella!'
I'd hypnotized the archbishop and the cult leader to incite a riot, then calmly walked toward the building where Im Yu-na was. Reporters with cameras tried to follow, but bodyguards blocked them from entering.
Guided by one bodyguard, I entered a conference room.
Im Yu-na and Kang Tae-seong sat tensely at the table.
I said to Kang Tae-seong,
"Mr. Kang Tae-seong. I have private matters to discuss with Ms. Im Yu-na alone. Please leave."
"This is ridiculous. Is that something you can just say?"
Kang Tae-seong glared at me and activated his ability. His body split into three. A cloning ability. He could probably make up to ten.
I had no idea which was real.
'It appeared in the original work. I can hypnotize clones too.'
I had no intention of hypnotizing clones right now. Im Yu-na had agreed to meet me directly because she was convinced I wasn't a hypnosis ability user.
"Uncle. It's fine. Please step out for a bit."
"...Branch Chief. This guy's the psycho who killed Ha-joon. He might attack suddenly."
"He's here to talk to me, not fight. Besides, there are forces around. He knows that."
I pretended not to hear, chuckling as I sat across the table. It was a round wooden table, large and impressive. Probably expensive.
After some back-and-forth, Kang Tae-seong couldn't break Im Yu-na's resolve and sighed. He glared at me with his clones before leaving the room.
"……."
"……."
We silently faced each other. Our eye levels were similar, but the situations weren't. I was relaxed; she wasn't.
Im Yu-na's lips twitched. She was still hesitating even now.
"...Mr. Sung Yu-jin. Is what you said before still valid?"
"What I said before? What are you referring to?"
"……."
As I played dumb, Im Yu-na's face twisted. I could see her struggling to maintain a poker face.
"...I mean, if I become your woman, you'll join Elpis."
"Ah. That."
Laughter kept threatening to escape.
"Yes. Of course it's valid. If you become my woman, I'll join Elpis."
"...I'll become your woman. I'll prepare a position for you in Elpis too. So... please quietly disband the Crimson Sea Church believers."
I stared at her intently. She was competent. Holding the position of Elpis Korea Branch Chief in her mid-to-late twenties showed she was no ordinary person.
That's why I couldn't understand. She could live comfortably doing something else without Elpis.
Did she really need to sacrifice herself to stop me?
"Ms. Im Yu-na. Wouldn't it be easier to just give up and become my woman? I promise wealth and glory. Money, power—nothing lacking. Do you have some attachment to Elpis... or Korea?"
"Mr. Sung Yu-jin... You're not right. If you dominate Korea... it'll surely become hell. I'll use any means to prevent that."
"Even sacrificing your body?"
"Yes."
"Even if you become my woman, the situation won't change much. You know I won't actually join Elpis, right?"
"But if I become your woman, I can buy at least a week."
"You think a week is enough to stop or kill me?"
"I'll report what I've seen to the Elpis headquarters and request support. If they come... they can stop you."
"Why tell me all this?"
"I've analyzed you. Unlike with men, you don't kill women carelessly. Especially beauties. And you want me. Right?"
"Correct. A week is a fair price for having you, Ms. Im Yu-na. If you become my woman, I'll disband the believers. I promise no riot."
Im Yu-na let out a small sigh.
"Now prove you're my woman."
"...What do you want me to do?"
I blatantly scanned her body. Any man with decent taste would acknowledge her beautiful face and the voluptuous figure that her suit couldn't hide.
"I really like strip clubs."
Understanding, Im Yu-na bit her lip slightly, climbed onto the table, and crawled on all fours like a lioness.
Her face flushed as she unbuttoned her suit jacket. Her ample breasts jiggled. She undid her blouse buttons too. Her snow-white breasts, encased in a luxurious dark red bra, came into view. Flesh slightly spilled over the bra.
'F-cup! Mouthwatering.'
My cock began to harden gradually.
She approached, sat on the table edge, and spread her legs. Her skirt rode up, revealing purple panties.
"...How's this? Like it?"
Im Yu-na's face was beet red.
"Hmm. I haven't seen everything yet."
With trembling hands, Im Yu-na pulled her panties aside.
I stared piercingly at her intimate area.
Her crimson pussy was tightly closed in a straight line, as if never permitted to anyone. Black pubic hair lay over her small clitoris. Her anus was lightly pigmented and prettily shaped like a chrysanthemum.
No flaws.
After confirming her pussy, I stood from the chair.
"I've changed my mind."
I turned without hesitation. My cock was fully erect.
"What... What's going on suddenly?"
"I said I've changed my mind."
I answered without turning back.
Click.
Just as I opened the door to leave, a familiar metallic sound rang out. Turning, I saw her on the floor, pistol aimed at me. She'd hidden it near the table.
"Didn't I say I'd become your woman!"
"On second thought, dominating Korea and having you seems faster than giving you a week in exchange."
"I'll kill you right here... Ugh!"
Suddenly, Im Yu-na staggered. Nearly falling, she steadied herself with her legs. Pale-faced, she trembled and lowered the gun.
"Saw a bad future, huh?"
"……."
No response.
I opened the door and left.
???
The moment Sung Yu-jin left, Kang Tae-seong rushed back into the conference room.
"Branch Chief!"
"...Uncle."
Im Yu-na leaned against the table, disheveled.
"You okay? What did that bastard do?"
"I'm fine. More importantly, what we need to do now..."
With a grim expression, she picked up her smartphone and called someone.
"Kill the Crimson Sea Church's Shim Jong-pil leader right now! He definitely has brainwashing abilities! Kill him immediately! I'll take responsibility!"
She shouted into the phone.
Shim Jong-pil, the cult leader.
Why hadn't Sung Yu-jin, who showed no mercy to men and had already taken over the Crimson Sea Church, killed him?
The unnaturally rapid spread compared to typical cults. That was the reason. Shim Jong-pil was undoubtedly a brainwashing system ability user.
"If Shim Jong-pil dies, the believers will disband! Don't hesitate—kill the leader now!"
Im Yu-na strode to the window, pulled back the curtain, and looked down at the fanatics orderly gathered at Gwanghwamun.
"Failed...?"
She activated clairvoyance. Piercing through people, she saw Shim Jong-pil crucified at a distance beyond visual range. Before him, a sniper's bullet hovered in midair, blocked by something.
"...Telekinesis."
The fanatics' cheers filled Gwanghwamun.
"Heaven protects the leader!"
"He blocked the evil demon's attack!"
"The Apostle of Lightning shall save me from the demons!!!"
The fanatics drew hidden firearms from their clothes and raised them skyward.
The worst riot in South Korean history began.
"……."
Thud.
Im Yu-na's smartphone fell to the floor.
???
Bang! Rat-a-tat-tat! Bang!
The fanatics advanced on the Blue House amid gunfire. Some believers were armed with bombs all over their bodies. The police couldn't dare block them. The moment they tried, muzzles flashed and grenades flew.
Casualties had already exceeded 500. Word of the military coming reached my ears, but we would occupy the Blue House first.
'Fortunately, the president isn't moving from the Blue House.'
A subordinate planted there reported to me. The president showed no sign of fleeing. Either underestimating me or trusting the military.
"Oppa. So now you'll rule Korea?"
"Heh. Yeah. I will. Hope the president cooperates smoothly."
"He will. You have what it takes to rule Korea, oppa."
Yu Jae-kyung said beside me.
Snipers positioned everywhere targeted my head and Shim Jong-pil's neck, but bullets fell to the ground without touching our skin.
Yu Jae-kyung had spread a telekinetic barrier around us and Shim Jong-pil using her telekinesis.
"How long can you maintain it?"
"About an hour."
"That's reassuring."
An hour was more than enough.
We arrived at the Blue House.
Police had formed a line at the entrance, barricading with police buses and aiming guns at us.
"Stop right there! If you approach, we'll open fire!"
The fanatics ignored the warning. They moved forward, and the police fired. A shootout erupted. The entrenched police had the advantage. Frontline believers rolled on the ground as cold corpses.
I didn't blink, turning to the bishops.
"Use what you prepared!"
"Yes! Apostle!"
The bishops picked up rocket launchers.
