The scene in the hall transformed, with all eyes now fixed on the stage, each gaze filled with reverence. Despite the high status of those present, before me, they appeared as mere puppets on strings.
"Take a seat," my command echoed through the room, and like marionettes, everyone obediently followed suit.
Thanks to my new ability, Mind Sharing, exerting control over the entire assembly became way easy.
The people present right now are here for either two reasons: they were either already under my influence or had received invitations from those who were.
My intention behind this gathering was to further expand my sphere of influence among other things .
Carefully controlling their mind, I made them believed that they were part of an exclusive organization for the wealthy, a common enough occurrence in high society.
"Now to wrap this up," a smile formed on my face as I connected with everyone through my Mind link. Then, I commanded them to talk to each other, and they began whispering among themselves.
This time, I was utilizing Oath to the fullest. While the chance might be low, by using it repeatedly, I was sure that everyone would be under my control sooner or later.
Whispers and murmurs permeated the air as each individual in the room began uttering the words:
"I'm a loyal servant of Master Zyden."
"I'm a loyal servant of Master Zyden."
"I'm a loyal servant of Master Zyden."
After a brief pause, I sensed my mental power waning, forcing me to get a momentary rest before resuming the process until every individual present became a devoted servant under my influence.
It took three cycles before everyone was fully under my influence, emphasizing how low the probability of Oath was, even for normal humans.
But it was a worthwhile endeavor. Now, even if they come into contact with a Moongem, their loyalty would remain unwavering to me.
"You can all eat now and enjoy the night," I declared after finishing my job. I came here for a party, but it was not this one.
Before I left, I talked to some important pawns for the upcoming rescue mission.
They say having one loyal woman could be considered a blessing. Well, I have dozens of them here right now.
"What is it, Darling? We really missed you," they all tried to act adorable in front of me.
"Calm down. I promised I will give you some surprises soon," I calmed their emotions down, then I held Evelyn hands and we walked together to my table where Elaine, Rei Mei, Eun Ha, and Min-Hee were sitting.
"How many girls are you planning to collect?" Rei Mei asked, this time in a more calm manner. She had already accepted the fact that she needed to share me with others.
"I'm a strong believer in the saying 'sharing is caring,'" I replied to her with a playful smile.
"I don't want to argue anymore, so why did you call us all here?" she sighed.
"Today is a special day," I replied, and then turn my attention towards Elaine .
"Elaine, give me the red envelopes,"
She nodded and handed me a thick envelope, then I started distributing it to everyone. Each envelope contained 5 million Korean won.
They were all shocked to see that I gave them money, but that was just the beginning of my surprise.
"I've set aside this money as your allowance. Starting from now, each of you will receive this amount every month. Also, at the same time," I paused for a moment to build anticipation, "you're all welcome to move into my new building," I revealed to them.
I recently acquired a new residential building, and with just a few renovations needed, all my girls can all move in whenever they were ready.
Everyone became exited after hearing my invitation. They must be dreaming about how convenient it would be to live under the same roof as me. It would mean that the chance of me fucking them would also be much higher. A win-win situation for both parties involved .
"Are you for real?" Rei Mei couldn't help but ask. She must be wondering why someone as powerful as me would resort to something like this. Well, that's the beauty of being powerful—I could do whatever the fuck I want.
"Of course," I smiled at her.
Normally, I would teased her for asking a stupid question, but for some reason, I felt merrier today. It was not yet Christmas, but I could feel the vibe of giving.

Merry Christmas to everyone!
