The massacre continued as my new pawns did their job well. This place was located far from the city, and the sounds of machines covered the noise of gunfire, so the police hadn't reached this place yet. Moreover, these people were criminals, so calling law enforcement wouldn't be the first thing on their minds.
In the silence that followed, a few desperate souls dropped to their knees, begging for mercy and pleading for their live.
"P— PLEASE SPARE US!"
"P— PLEASE SPARE US!"
Unfortunately, their cries went unanswered. Unmoved by their sobbing face, I, the unseen force manipulating this evil performance, showed no compassion. Mercilessly, I fired two shots each into their heads, snuffing out any lingering hope.
*BANG!
*BANG!
The sharp sounds of gunfire echoed through the air, blending with the distant hum of machinery.
"It's done," I murmured to myself as I surveyed the carnage I had done. As expected, there was no twinge of remorse or guilt. It appeared that I had become completely numb to the killing. Talk about character development.
'Well, at least my character development is more realistic than those SIMP MCs who always make dumb decisions despite being OP. Give a person power, and you end up with me, someone who enjoys power tripping all the time.' I chuckled at the irony of it all.
After wrapping everything up, I directed my pawns to shoot each other, bringing an end to this whole ordeal.
Unfortunately, the boss wasn't present, but perhaps he would regroup and recruit more thugs. This way, I could farm his gang again.
[Level up]
The sound of the notification made me smile, as I finally leveled up again. The requirements for each level up, keep increasing, and I was a little bit amazed that eliminating more than a hundred people only increased mine by two.
I was pumped to check out my status. But there were more urgent things to deal with.
I told my new slave to handle the cash, and as for the dead bodies, I just used my mind power to move them. The trunk was too small, but a little squeezing made them fit just right.
I also noticed a lot of drugs in the mix but chose to ignore them. Letting them be would give the police more evidence of the illegal dealings here.
With that, I finished everything and headed back to the car. It's been a long day, and I needed some rest.

RING RING RING
The sounds of the alarm clock pulled me from the depths of a deep sleep.
Groggily, I shifted my gaze to the clock, and its bright red numbers revealed that it was already 9:00 am.
I had stumbled back home in the early hours of the morning, or one could argue it was more like the crack of dawn, around 2:00 am.
The faint light filtering through my bedroom window hinted at the warm world outside, seemingly unbothered by the late-night escapades that had kept me company just hours before.
"Darling, you're awake?" Evelyn's sweet voice echoed in my ear, and as I tilted my head, I saw her wearing a white apron. It was a cute sight, resembling a wife caring for her handsome husband.
She carried a tray with her, complete with some freshly baked bread and cup of coffee.
"Yeah." I replied with a smile.
"The coffee is cold already; let me heat it up for you," she replied, her words indicating that she had been eagerly waiting for me to wake up.
"Give me a kiss before you head downstairs," I teased her.
Blushing at my words, she leaned in to give me a kiss. Her freshly brushed teeth were a better morning greeting than coffee.
"Now get me my coffee," I chuckled as I fondle her soft ass cheek .
Having some time to spare before she returned, I decided to check my status.

"Awesome , I'm loaded ," I could not help but grin widely after seeing again how much points I have available . This was enough to elevate my power three folds . I was becoming more and more confident about the rescue mission.
'Time for a major upgrade ,' I chuckled . I had already planned how to distribute my points yesterday, so I began allocating them.
[Endurance 12 —> 20]

[Blade Mail: Reflect physical damage +1% every level up. Maximum of 75%.]
'Wow, this skill sounds familiar, and the effect is good. I think I can merge this with Stone Body?' I thought to myself. Stone Body and Blade Mail have some similarities, and combining them might offer an unexpected twist.
This was the reason why I decided to increase my other attributes first. Mind Power was already quite powerful, so I wanted to experiment with my other attributes, hoping that I would get a powerful skill and combine them.
[Charisma 10 —> 20]
The moment I increased my charisma, I felt that I became taller again, and my skin seemed to shed and become smoother.
[Congratulations, Host, for reaching 20 Points in Charisma.]

[OATH: A binding promised that forced others to follow their oath. (Can't be dispels) +0.1% chance per level ]
'Oath? Is this the same power as my Mom?' I muttered to myself as I read the description. The part that says it cannot be dispelled might mean that even the Moon Gem wouldn't remove the effect, unlike my Suggestion.
This was good news for me because I've been thinking of ways to bypass that weakness, and it seems that this Oath skill might be the solution.
'I should go test this skill out later,' I thought to myself. 'But before that, I still need to allocate my remaining attribute points.'
