Neurolink System in the Modern World - C.117: Refreshing

As I left the apartment, a small sense of contentment filled me. Even though the money I'd given them wasn't a fortune, it would provide some financial relief for a few months, easing their immediate concerns.

I didn't need to be a genius to see that their family was struggling. Perhaps this was the very reason Rak had chosen to work with a gang for quick cash. It was becoming clear that he might not have been such a bad guy after all. Just someone who had been pushed into a life of a gangster due to poverty.

Nevertheless ,I understood that no amount of money could truly compensate them for their loss, but it was the only gesture I could offer at that moment.

I got into my SUV, ready to leave the emotional weight of the apartment behind, and began driving.

My destination? Well, for the time being, I chose to head towards Goyang using my car. I wasn't worried about running into traffic officers since I had a fake driver's license, and I knew I could use my suggestion ability to influence them if needed.

*VROOOOM!

The highway ride to Goyang felt like a breath of fresh air . The smooth asphalt stretched out before me, and the steady hum of the engine was strangely soothing. The world outside my car window passed in a blur, a mix of lush greenery and the occasional urban landscape.

As the wind rushed through the open windows, it carried away some of the emotional weight that had lingered from my earlier encounter. Each passing mile seemed to wash away a layer of tension, and I found solace in the rhythm of the road. free𝑤ebnovel.com

The ride was like a reset button for my emotions, allowing me to clear my mind and focus on the future. It was a reminder that life moved on, and I needed to keep moving with it.

I arrived in Goyang and headed straight for the school. Even though afternoon classes were in session, I managed to enter without any trouble. .

As I walked into the faculty area, I could sense that the teachers were maintaining their distance from me, except for the chatty teacher who continued to engage with me.

She informed me that the teacher I had been substituting for had returned, creating a new issue for me to address if I wanted to stay in the school.

Given the situation, I made my way to the principal's office and use my leveled up suggestion ability. Through a brief conversation, I successfully persuaded him to appoint me as an external advisor, even though such a position didn't officially exist. But, thanks to my suggestion, there was little he could do to resist my request.

After taking care of that matter, I checked Alice's class schedule and noticed that she had already returned to school. It appeared that she was no longer affected by our previous conversation. However, I decided not to approach her just yet and opted to give her more time.

On the School Yard.

As I sipped on my canned milk tea, I pondered my next course of action. The gang was no longer an option for leveling up, so my primary choices now were to dominate girls to earn skill points and domination points, and to grind for experience points.

However, I couldn't just target any girl; it had to be someone who deserved it, or I risked losing the humanity I have left. I also had my preferences and couldn't bring myself to dominate just anybody. Even prostitutes were out of the question; I may have a system, but I didn't have immunity to sexually transmitted diseases.

'I can also do that …' I chuckled to myself as an idea crossed my mind. I could search for my old bullies and take my sweet revenge. It would be both satisfying and productive at the same time. I made a mental note to track down Gak Kwan and suggest organizing a class reunion. Oh, how I wanted to see the surprised and regretful faces of my old classmates who used to bully me.

But before I could fully delve into that reunion idea, an opportunity presented itself – the beautiful yet rude teacher walked past me. As usual, she rolled her eyes after spotting me, as if I were some sort of thorn in her side.

'Well, if you keep judging me with those mean eyes, I might as well fill that throat of yours. ' I chuckled.

Then ,I walked in front of her, and she looked at me with a defensive stance.

"What do you want?" she asked.

I maintained my composure. "Come with me to the rooftop; I need to tell you something very important about your fiancee," I lied, making sure my tone was convincing.

[Suggestion: Success]

Her expression shifted, and curiosity overcame her initial skepticism.

"What do you want to talk about? You said you need to tell me something about my Fiancée " Gye Yong spoke with an annoyed expression on her face. Her black hair danced in the rooftop breeze, adding to her haughty demeanor.

I found her arrogance rather amusing, and I had originally planned to savor my domination of her slowly. However, due to my own circumstances , I had to expedite my plans.

"I just wanted to have a chat first," I replied with a chuckle.

"If you don't have anything important to say, then I really should be going," she insisted, attempting to leave.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" I asked.

"That's none of your business," she replied, rolling her eyes and turning away.

"Tell me. I want to know," I commanded, using my suggestion ability.

[Suggestion: Success]

With a sudden pause, she hesitated, clearly attempting to resist the influence of my skill. However, her efforts were in vain.

"I need to prepare. My fiancé is waiting for me. It's our anniversary," she finally answered, a touch of embarrassment in her expression.

"Anniversary?" A mischievous grin crept onto my face. It felt like destiny had just handed me the perfect moment to school this woman. The possibilities were so tantalizing, they practically tap-danced in my imagination, sending my blood pressure and enthusiasm skyrocketing.

"Hey, before you go, there's something I'd like to tell you," I said as I approached her.
