The Golden Watch Of Hypnosis - Chapter 43
Tenshi looked at the face of Amano with evident curiosity in his face; nonetheless, the devious glint in his eyes didn’t reside and instead, increased as each second passed by.
What if he leaked the word about infidelity to Haruto? Then, swoop in when he’s emotionally drained and gain his eternal respect as a benefactor?
Tenshi’s mind brewed plans and plans one after another but in reality, he showed an empathetic smile on his face.
Really, who would’ve guessed that Haruto’s wife, whom Haruto was singing praises about just a while ago was unfaithful? Hm?
“From the description of what she did to you as a child, I don’t think adultery is something unexpected from her. ”
Tenshi said as he relaxed his posture on the stool.
“Tch, at this rate, I’m even scared to test her kids if they’re really Haruto’s children ”
Bingo.
“I never really thought that, even if Haruto married a whore, I would regret it. Now that we’re somewhat like brothers, it’s killing me from the inside. ”
Amano said as he laughed and sighed at the same time.
“Amano, would youcare if she dies? ”
Amano squinted his eyes a bit and looked at Tenshi with visible apprehension.
“Not exactly boss, but the thing is, I’m scared of what Haruto will do after she is killed, unless you tell him about her i- ”
Amano’s eyes widened as he thought about the matter once again scrutinizingly, seeing this reaction from Amano, Tenshi laughed.
“Boss, whatever you’re planning, count me in, you have my full support! ”
Amano stood up with his hands in the air and said with visible excitement in his face.
“You’re pretty smart eh? ”
Tenshi said as he stood up and paced around the room patiently, then, he took a look at his watch.
2:00PM
“Now Amano, go ahead and attend the meeting, after that, take all of your stockholders and come here. After that, I’ll take care of everything ”
Tenshi said with his head slightly tilted at Amano.
“Yes boss! ”
Amano stood up and fixed his posture and then, he applied a cold and emotionless mask on his face and exited the room.
Another hypocritical actor, just like him.
Tenshi snickered and once again sat back on the stool, this time, he put his right arm forwards and scrutinizingly took a look at it.
What Tenshi wanted to do right now is practice projecting Qi outside his body, of course, he wanted to do it after he leveled up to level 10, but everytime he wanted to do it, he was either busy or in a crowded area.
[You know how to spread Qi throughout your body right? Just do the same, but try to make it go outside your body, just put some pressure on it!]
Tenshi nodded and waved his hands in the air, a steady and small wave of Qi going from his body into his hands.
However, as much as he tried, the Qi wouldn’t go outside his finger as much as he tried. Tenshi tched and waved his hands in the air and tried even more vigorously than before to project the Qi outside his body.
[Hmm try to do it even more forcefully then!]
Tenshi gritted his teeth as he forced more and more of the pitiful amount of Qi present in his body towards his right arm, which was growing redder by each and every second.
“Brzz ”
Tenshi felt a small amount of vibrations being expelled from his hand as he smiled. As each moment passed, the amount of Qi being projected outside his hand was increasing as he took a look just an inch above his hand and saw the air shaking and becoming blurry.
Have you ever seen the spot above a fire shaking and becoming blurry? If so, that’s the current scenery he was seeing above his hand.
[That’s your Qi, bland and without corruption.]
Tenshi nodded as he closed his eyes and tried to feel the vibrations; unlike what he felt from the vibrations when others exercised their Qi, he felt that his Qi was quitebland, he couldn’t get it in words but it was quite empty to say the least.
Tenshi waved his hands and moved his hand back to himself, now, he could feel that within him, the Qi he has right now was less than before.
After all, he just projected some of his Qi outside himself so it was justified that he would have lesser Qi than before in his body.
[Now, what you have to do is recuperate your Qi, just absorb the vibrations from the air that feels the same as the Qi within your body.]
Tenshi nodded and searched for the same type of vibrations in the air as he felt was in his own; after a while of searching, maybe because he was a newbie, he finally found a place filled with the same type of Qi as his own.
Tenshi went to that particular place in the office, a spot beside a table, and started to tense his mind and make them come towards him.
[You don’t have to, the watch itself will do it for you.]
As soon as the voice in his replied to his tense efforts, Tenshi opened his eyes frantically as the watch glowed while the vibrations started to erratically move towards him.
Tenshi felt as if an earthquake was enveloping him as a crowd of bland, elementless vibrations started to attach themselves to his body; a while after that however, they entered his body as he sighed in relief.
This this is really scary!
Tenshi smiled. He now felt as if his body was filled with waves and waves of Qi, although it was filled, it wasn’t bursting as it just hit the limit and didn’t go above that particular limit.
Tenshi once again practiced Qi projection, this however
Tenshi smiled and looked at the table beside him, there, a white flower vase was located.
Tenshi aimed his hand at the vase and closed his eyes, his Qi vigorously started to billow out of his hand like a stampeding bull.
“Thud”
Seeing the results however, Tenshi rolled his eyes in disappointment and walked back towards the stool.
The vase didn’t fly away nor did it explode as he thought it would, instead, it slowly and quietly fell with a small on the table with a thud.
What the heck? Tenshi thought that his power would be morepowerful?
[Nah, it’s just because you’re a newbie at doing this thing.]
[In Qi manipulation and external projection, or even cultivation as a whole matter, you’re an average.]
Tenshi heard the voice in his head and nodded, rather unwillingly of course.
But he wasn’t upset much, he had the watch, his men and his future wealth in his pockets, it didn’t matter much if his strength was low, he had people and that was enough.
[That’s the right thinking process!]
[However, the most talented persons before you, mind you that I’m talking about the impression I received from seeing their aura, are Haruto and that blonde Etsuko. ]
[Misaki also has somewhat of a talent in cultivation, note that my judgment might be wrong however.]
Tenshi nodded, this meant that, for now, he also had to keep Misaki by his side.
Oh well, he would’ve kept her by his side anyways. Maybe because she was fun and amusing to him? Maybe?
Tenshi smiled. He was a hypocrite, he didn’t actually care about abuse victims, he cared more about the person in the abused situation. if the person was a good human, then he would care about them, if not, no pity for him or her.
The same could be applied to the girl Endou raped, he didn’t actually care about her, partially because he didn’t know if she was a good or a bad person. That’s how he judged things, it might be skewed towards the right, left and any general direction sometimes but his approach to giving pity had a certain fixed algorithm to it.
Until he saw the true face of a person, he wouldn’t give pity nor would he offer them a hand of friendship, unless he needs them for something that is.
Well, unless he actually feels curiosity towards someone or something, Tenshi won’t really want to talk with them, nor would he like to offer his friendship.
Tenshi looked at the black bottle of malt located at the top of the bar’s table and grabbed it, then, he poured some of it into a glass and sipped some of it. .
The woody malt entered his mouth and burned his throat; somehow, Tenshi felt his mind get more and more lighter.
Ah, this might be the reason his mother told him to stay away from alcohol. Well there was no medicine for regret I guess, now, his dedication and promises to his mother was all down in the gutters.
Tenshi sadly sighed. He was now regretting his choice to drink, one of his promises to his mother was broken in a single second’s mistake.
Tenshi was wondering if his mother was rolling her eyes at him with disgust from heaven.
Oh, heaven doesn’t exist. Samsara does, an eternally torturous cycle of death, Tenshi after thinking that his mother might not remember him released a deep and agonizing pain into his chest.
At all costs, he had to retrieve her soul!
[I was wondering, if you love your mother so much, why did you jump on my proposal to taste alcohol without any resistance?]
[Of course, it was because of the heart demons influence.]
[Otherwise, you don’t seem like someone that breaks promises that easily.]
Tenshi sighed as his lips curved downwards, signifying that his eyes were almost going to give up resisting the tears overflowing them.
Weak. He was too weak.
Tenshi sighed as the rock lodged in his throat started to go down.
Well, one promise broken, another to go
“Boss, may we come in? ”
From outside the door, Amano knocked as Tenshi woke up from his stupor and once again reapplied his criminal-boss posture.
“Come in. ”
Tenshi coolly said as he turned his face towards the door, his right leg on top of his left leg and his face as evil as ever.
The door opened as Amano, along with six people dressed in business suites entered the room and bowed, many of them had tense expressions on their faces.
Tenshi slightly snickered as he looked at the men’s faces, all of them were the perfect painting of what the public thought of businessmen, long noses, oily faces and pairs and pairs of shrunken yellow teeth.
Tenshi innerly cringed in disgust as he saw their smiles, the people he hated the most were the people that don’t take care of their teeth.
Nonetheless, Tenshi smiled nonchalantly.
“Gentlemen, welcome to my humble abode. ”
Tenshi spread his arms apart in the air as he sent a glare at Amano, Amano knowing what Tenshi wanted, excused himself and left the room, his forehead filled with sweat.
The men smiled and walked towards Tenshi, their minds however, were bubbling with anger as they saw the coolly smiling Tenshi.
To them, not welcoming them or coming to them to guide them into the room was rude, extremely rude no matter how much this guy was important to the chairman!
[Do it! All of them are vulnerable to hypnosis!!]
However, just as the men were getting close to him and about to offer him a handshake, Tenshi quickly stood up and waved his watch in everyone’s face one by one.
[Ding!]
[Ding!]
[Ding!]
[Ding!]
[Ding!]
[Ding!]
Six consecutive sounds of a successful hypnosis rang out as the men immediately stopped in their tracks; their eyes and faces instantly became bland and completely emotionless like a zombie.
[Please Enter A Suggestion For Hypnosis]
Tenshi smiled as he took at the men, now, he just had to make them transfer all of their assets to him.
But first, he had to test something.
“Gentlemen, can you hear me? ”
“Yes. “(x6)
The six men replied instantly as if they were simultaneously possessed by the same ghost.
“Good. Very good. ”
“Now, what I want you guys to do is, transfer or as you call it, legally ‘gift’ me all of your assets, including but not limited to: real estate, securities, government bonds, equities and importantly, all of your businesses. ”
“First, I want all of you to take every single penny you have in your bank accounts and invest them in stocks and properties you find that’ll do very well in the future. ”
“But, take a million from your bank accounts and keep it for you and your family. Except for that one million, I want every single penny to be invested and returned to me! ”
Tenshi said as he licked his dry lips; even though he didn’t want to spare a single penny to these guys, his mother’s teachings interfered and made him leave a bit of leeway for them. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even spit their bones out.
“I want you to then, take all of your lawyers and make them draft assets gifting papers, I want you to do this and all of the above within 12AM today! ”
After taking all of Tenshi’s advices and orders, the men faithfully nodded.
Tenshi seeing this nodded, relieved that he didn’t have to waste his spit. He however, smiled as he thought about the main question he wanted to ask since the first time he saw these guys.
“Say, what’s all of you guys combined net worth? Not including all of your physical cash of course. ”
The men opened the mouths wide for a moment before answering all together.
“72$ Million. ”
“45$ Million. ”
“19$ Million. ”
“78$ Million.”
“55$ Million. ”
“22$ Million. ”
“Oh? Two-hundred-ninety million? You guys should be considered pretty rich then?… ”
“Now begone and do your work! ”
[Aye aye cap’n’]
The men awakened from their vacant stupor and frantically bowed to Tenshi one by one like dominoes.
“Boss, please excuse us, this kind of work takes a very long time to do otherwise we’ll be late for the deadline. ”
One of the men, a bald horse-faced man stood up and said with tears rolling down his eyes.
Tenshi didn’t take a second look at them as his back was already turned to them, instead, he waved his hands behind him and grunted, telling them to leave.
The men without a second thought ran towards the door and left the room.
Tenshi rolled his eyes with a smug smile on his face.
Partly because he was now going to be a millionaire, it might not be from justifiable causes but, he didn’t kill nor did he sell drugs for that money right?
Tenshi winced. He was losing the battle for his soul wasn’t he? Tenshi never thought that one day, he would justify stealing from others
[I don’t think I want to say this; but here you go, the truth.]
[You’ve already lost the battle.]
“Boss, how did it go?! ”
Hearing a deep voice yell enthusiastically from behind him, Tenshi turned back and saw Amano, along with Nero.
“Fine. ”
“I won’t spoil anything for you Amano, consider it a surprise. You’ll see everything I’ve planned for those investors by midnight. ”
“Okay boss! ”
Amano smiled, his mind was now released from burden and filled with relief.
Tenshi playfully grinned and looked at Nero.
“Have you prepared what I’d asked you before? ”
“Yes sir, it’s all in this briefcase. ”
Nero came forward and offered him a leather briefcase which Tenshi gracefully took.
Tenshi smiled and opened the briefcase, inside it were an ID card, a government issued suit and a pistol.
This, was going to be his disguise. Of course, plainly blackmailing someone wasn’t as fun as doing it while playing as a influential figure.
Tenshi took the ID card and looked at it, there his photo and his name, a fake one at that, was located.
It wasn’t a standard ID card though
Anti Corruption Senior Officer, Mr: Teniki Masafumi. Branch Acropolis City, Age 24.
Tenshi rolled his eyes at the name prescribed on the ID card, Teniki? Don’t these guys have any creativity or something?
“Ahem, this was the most I could pull off in an hour.”
Nero counter-rolled his eyes at Tenshi and amusedly smiled.
After a while of checking the contents in the suitcase, Tenshi smiled, he satisfied with the results of his request.
Tenshi then stood up and started to undress, his upper clothes all fell on the floor as he took a shirt from the briefcase and started to wear them.
“You won’t have a problem with what I’m going to do after this will you Nero? ”
“Not really. I don’t exactly like her much so you can do whatever you want with her. ”
Nero replied to Tenshi’s question nonchalantly.
Amano looked at the both of them with suspicion in his eyes; what were these guys talking about?
“Uh guys, what are you talking about? ”
“Nothing. Just plain fornication using blackmail. ”
Tenshi chuckled along with Nero, while Amano was left behind scratching his ears.
“Oh wait, is Endou home right now? ”
” We don’t monitor him usually, he just regularly goes to love hotels and such after school. ”
“Anyways, I’d called my sister a while ago and she told me Endou won’t come home for a while. So; no, he isn’t home. ”
“Hmm, good, then does your sister recognize Haruto? ”
“Nope. She never saw him before. ”
“Perfect then, tell Haruto to come here and drive me to your sister’s house along with some henchmen in tow. ”
Tenshi fixed the black tie on his neck and smiled at Nero with overflowing charisma.
“Then, where’s the tape? ”
Nero coughed for a bit and pulled out a pendrive from his pants.
“Here you go sir, just as you wanted. With the evidence in this pen, it’s guaranteed that he’ll get a lifetime sentence. ”
“Oh, he’s that evil? ”
“Nothing much. He works for us after all. ”
Nero smiled and exited the room, now, he’s going to go and inform Haruto about what Tenshi wants to do.
“Uh boss, I never thought that you’d this err ”
“Sexually depraved? Lustful? Horny? ”
” err yeah ”
Tenshi nodded his head and looked at his watch.
2:25PM
“Plan: Break Endou’s family has started!”
Tenshi laughed maniacally and fixed his collars, he was going to enjoy ruining a happy family today.
“Uh what did you say boss? ”
Amano, still as confused as ever, asked Tenshi with his right hand on his head.
“Nothing ”
(Point Of View Change)
I looked at my hand, there, a golden liquid filled glass was held. It was alcohol, the drink for the intellectually enhanced population, it wasn’t beer nor was it any of those cheap drinks but Spirit.
To me, the spirit variety of alcoholic drinks were and still are, slightly philosophical. I didn’t really know why they were named as such but a voice inside me told me that they were named such because they filled the body with spirit.
I laughed at my own delusional monologue and looked at the sky beyond the balcony in front of me. The sky right now was serene and peaceful without any external influences.
This was the 14th floor of the HK Hotel, a Japanese chain of love hotels spread evenly across the entire country. This particular hotel however, isn’t owned by HK hotels anymore, I bought it, for security reasons of course.
I of course, layered my assets through multiple charities and oversea shell companies, otherwise, my father and my uncle would come to know of it.
I might not be smart in other areas such as studies or anything but; I was deemed as a genius in business strategies and money laundering tactics.
I put my hands on the rail and enjoyed the air coming from the outside.
This wa-
“W-why? WHY DID YOU DO THIS?!?! ”
I sighed at the feminine voice screaming at me with apparent rage and anger.
It was justified however, her rage that is. The unjustifiable thing however, is that she interrupted my inner monologues.
I turned around and looked at the woman lying on the bed with a white blanket over her assets.
There wasn’t anything there to show anyways.
I sipped a bit of the spirit in the glass and looked at her with annoyance.
“So, class president, what’s up? ”
“Does your lower body ache?”
I laughed malevolently, finally my quest for revenge was over now that the final target was down.
“Yo-you bastard!! ”
The woman spitefully spat with hate while tears streamed down her face.
“Oh please, this was consensual right? You willingly became my girlfriend and I dumped you after our first night, that’s that. ”
“Next time darling, carefully look at people before you crush on them. ”
I said as I once again took a sip of the spirit in my hands. It was wonderful to say the least.
The woman hearing this closed her eyes and gasped, her throat clogged with phlegm.
“Well, don’t worry, I have compensation for you under your pillow. 2,000$, should be enough for birth control and anti-inflammatory medicine right? ”
“WHAT? Do you think I’m a prostitute that you can shoo away with money?!”
“Well, take the money and leave. You aren’t less than a prostitute to me, however ”
I laughed a bit at the tearful face of the class president.
“Do you know why prostitutes are paid darling? Prostitutes aren’t paid for sex, they’re paid to leave. ”
I licked my dry lips and walked towards the door.
Even before I could open the door, the door itself opened from the outside as the living room showed itself.
In front of the door, a girl dressed in a pink and white dress appeared with a smile on her beautiful face, her beady black eyes looked at me pleasantly while her hair fluttered to her sides.
This woman, was the love of my life and now, she was standing before me with a flower bouquet in her hands.
I loved this woman. No, not the type of ‘lust’ I have towards other women as a result of my past, but true, unadulterated love, perhaps even a bit of thankfulness for what she did for me.
“Congratulations! Your revenge is now complete Endou! ”
Hana said with a smile on her face as she offered the red bouquet of flowers to me.
I smiled.
“HmThis isn’t right, you’re congratulating me on completing my revenge? As far a-”
“Okay okay smarty, once again, congratulations, your net worth is now half a billion. ”
