Chapter 231: In Charge



"What's happening to you?"

"It's... my... oath. I almost slipped up. Don't worry, Oppa... It will stop on its own," Rei Mei gasped heavily, speaking between breaths.

She was vulnerable right now, so a sudden thought entered my mind.

'Should I incapacitate her and try my suggestion?' I muttered to myself. It would be much safer for me if I could control and make her my puppet.

'Let's try to play safe first,' I added.

"Your head doesn't hurt anymore," I used my skills.

[Suggestion: Failed]

'Well, it turns out the Oath is stronger than my suggestion,' I sighed, a bit disappointed but also kind of proud. Mom had some serious power.

With no other options, I waited for her to calm down.

After a couple of minutes, she suddenly stopped squirming. Her clothing was now drenched in sweat, and I could even see the outline of underwear underneath it.

Unfortunately, she was flat as an iron board. Maybe because of her sonic speed, I figured a well-endowed chest wouldn't be the best fit for optimal aerodynamics.

Rei Mei power was better suited for a man, but it seems my mother figured sending an attractive woman was the way to go. Probably knew I'd just kill any male helper. My mom was a genius for thinking things through, or maybe she just knows me too well.

"OPPA, please help me stand up," she asked weakly, clearly exhausted from the ordeal.

I hesitated, contemplating whether to help her or not. After a brief internal struggle, I extended my hand and helped her stand up.

'Oh wait, ' I paused for a moment, then decided to use my telekinesis instead. I lifted her up in the air and settled her on a nearby tree.

"By the way, how did you know all of this? And have you been watching me all this time?" Another question popped into my mind. I didn't think she was smart enough to figure all these things out.

"Sister Alice sent me an email that she was being targeted by Cerebrum,"

"As for, OPPA, I went to see you after I discovered that Sister Alice was abducted. But you were out of town, so I waited. It was just a coincidence that I saw you at my university, so I followed you."

"You go to Seoul University?" I asked. She looked like an airhead, but if she got there, she must not be that bad.

"I got there through a sports scholarship. I'm on the track and field team," she answered with a proud look.

"Figures," I nodded my head, the pieces were finally coming together.

As if reading my mind, she protested. "Hey, OPPA, don't be mean. I'm really smart, you know!"

"Back to the topic, how did you know that she was in Goyang?" I redirected the conversation. I needed more information to form a plan.

She pouted her cheek again, but then she sighed, realizing that I wasn't planning to engage in any nonsense conversation with her.

"Because that's where she was abducted," she replied.

"You airhead!" I couldn't help but shake my head at her apparent lack of awareness. It was like conversing with her had a direct impact on my intelligence, as if my brain cells were gradually abandoning ship.

"Do you even know if there was a Cerebrum HQ in Goyang? Did you see them ? Did you research on them? " I asked with an annoyed tone. I felt like and idiot for being too cautious with this girl. There was no way someone like her could actually plot to hurt me.

"Nope," she shook her head. "Aunty told us to never show our powers or we would be captured, so I only knew about Cerebrum from Sister Alice's text."

'I know it, she's useless,' I sighed to myself ' But I could still use that power of her to good use.'

"Alright, but I'll be in charge here. You don't do anything until I tell you to. Follow all my commands, got it?" I asserted.

"Okay, OPPA. As long as we can save Sister Alice!" Rei Mei replied with determination.
