nRezen was still as leisurely as before since everything is under his control. He tapped the table in front of him before speaking again

n“Please sit again” he said and despite Macy’s unwillingness, her body moved in accordance with Rezen’s order

nThe fried rice that Rezen cooked includes various vegetables and most of them are mutated ones with various effects

nCarrots are good for one’s eyesight and when it mutated, depending on what the user wants, they can either improve the vision of the consumer or make them blind

nThat’s what he used to make Macy and Florine blind

nThe mutated garlic on the other hand would have their bodies under Rezen’s control. He only has to say the word and the unfortunate consumer would do everything he wants no matter how unwilling they are

nOf course, that is only if his order was within the victim’s limits. He can’t possibly order an ungraded rank mage to reach the legendary 7th rank in just a day, right?

nThe mutated garlic is another overpowered vegetable but it has a time limit of 1 hour. Aside from that, the garlic also can’t be used twice on the same person. If not, Rezen can just sell garlic and have everyone under his control

n“R-Rezen… w-what did you do?” Florine asks but she doesn’t have even an ounce of anger for him

nThis was her fault. She was the one that brought Macy here even if she know that the mage might do something bad

nShe only made herself feel better by tagging along and deciding that if Macy went over the line, she would stop her to the best of her abilities

nAs such, now that Rezen tricked her in an unknown way, she only felt that this was karma for what she did

nIf only she was powerful enough to refuse Macy’s request, this situation would not happen

n“Damn… to think that I would be fooled like this” Macy said through gritted teeth

n“If you don’t plan on doing anything bad to me, I wouldn’t do something like this” Rezen said

nJust the garlic alone is already enough to subdue these two but he still uses the carrots to make them blind

nAs for the reason? It was simple. One of Rezen’s most prominent personality trait is his pettiness

nWouldn’t making them blind put more psychological pressure on them?

n“So… first of all… Macy, who are you?” Rezen started the interrogation and the ‘young woman’ has no choice but to answer truthfully

n“I am Macy Kergalle, an executive of the number 1 Magic Research Company in the country” she said and Rezen raised his brows

nDid he already earn the attention of such a giant?

nAs a mage and a citizen of the Eastern Country, Rezen naturally knew the number 1 research company in the country – Daydream

nIt is a giant company that deals with and researches everything that is ‘supernatural’

nSince Rezen has his spirit plants, he doesn’t need to buy other cultivation resources but others are different

nMana pills, soul-nourishing pills, elixir field nourishing pills, body-tempering pills, healing pills, and many more pills were just some of the things that Daydream sells

nThey also sell things like robes that offer magic defense or swords and other weapons that can maximize a spell’s power

nMost of the things that Daydream sells are something that they researched themselves

nEven in the other three countries, Daydream is still top-tier

nAnything that a mage needs or wants, the Daydream would create or improve them

nIt was no wonder that they would be interested in Rezen’s Spirit Plants. Most spirit plants cannot be consumed directly and have to be processed first but the ones that Rezen sells are different. They don’t need to be processed since all of them were top-tier spirit plants

n“What do you plan on doing to me?” Rezen asked another question

n“I have to use you to meet your master to either make a contract for your master to supply us with their spirit plants or have them spill how they got those special Spirit Plants”

nAfter answering, Macy ground her teeth. Even while speaking, she was trying to stop herself but her body just wouldn’t listen to her

n“So… you mean that if my master is powerful enough, you will go for cooperation but if not, you will force the secret. Am I right?”

nAt that, Macy replied affirmatively causing Florine to look at her, or at least she tried since she’s still blind right now

nEven with their eyes not working, they are still 6th fusion rank mages. Their soul is powerful enough to sense people that are near them even without using their eyes

n“That’s not what you said! You told me that you only want to cooperate with them!” Florine exclaimed in surprise. She didn’t expect that Macy has this kind of plan or more like… she didn’t dare think about it

nSince she is powerless against the power of Daydream, Florine doesn’t want to think in that direction

nShe might be a 6th fusion rank mage but to be the number 1 company in the country, Daydream has their fair share of mages at that level. If not, such a company would just be a target of people

n“Hohooo… what a plan” Rezen commented, not surprised at all

nHe already kind of expected that something like this would happen. Isn’t that the reason why he didn’t sell that many spirit plants?

nHe only supplied them to Neil, Florine, and his middleman with Claude

nHowever, he didn’t expect that he would get such unwanted attention this fast

n“Hmm… what should I do…” Rezen started thinking while tapping his finger on the table

nHe can deal with Macy right now but what if they send another one? It’s not like Rezen can feed them fried rice as he wishes to

n“Okay, first, how high exactly is your position in the company?”

n“I am the Chairman’s most beloved daughter”

nRezen almost vomited everything in his stomach. He already knew that Macy is powerful yet she actually also has that kind of background? What is she? The Heavens’ chosen?

n“Should I hold her captive to deter that damned chairman…” Rezen mumbled to himself, trying to think of how he should proceed now when…

n“W-wait! N-no, d-don’t do that! I-I won’t tell my father! I-In fact, this is something I did on my own! T-the company doesn’t know about this!” Macy said out of panic

nWhat a joke! She is the precious daughter of Daydream’s chairman. Where did she ever suffer?

nShe has all the resources one could think of and also mentors that are the best of the best. Does she look like someone that is used to suffering?

nRezen raised his eyebrows while looking at the trembling woman. Thinking whether she has some sort of PTSD or something

nIt was bad to exploit a person’s trauma but… this woman wants to harm Rezen first and Rezen is just retaliating

nRezen clicked his fingers together and Macy’s vision finally returned

nShe thought that whatever sorcery that Rezen used on her is finally gone and she tried to run away but…

n“Sit and don’t get up without my permission” Rezen said and the woman was forced to sit again

nTurns out that her body is still under Rezen’s control

nThe three sat on their seats and silence reigned in the surroundings except for the sounds that the crows made that caused the atmosphere to feel eerie

nMacy already regained her vision and she was looking at Rezen that was staring at her with an indifferent expression on his face

nShe waited for Rezen to speak but even after minutes have passed, the man was still not saying anything

nThe silence was uncomfortable and suffocating that Macy decided to break it

n“U-umm… c-can you l-let go of me? I-I promise that I wouldn’t ever come near you again!” Macy said but Rezen just continue to stare at her

nShe bit her lower lip, not knowing what she should do

n“T-that… p-please believe me. I-I actually just want to um… c-contribute to the company…”

n“…”

n“W-well you know… I’m a-actually just an executive in name. I-I don’t really do any work…”

n“…”

n“T-this… y-you see umm…”

n“…”

n“Err… p-people think that I am a spoiled brat… a-and I just want to do s-something that I-I would be praised for… b-but I already realize that I was wrong! I-I won’t d-do something like this again…”

n“…”

n“P-please say something…”

n“…”

n“Can you release me now?”

n“…”

n“Silence means yes so is that a yes?”

n“…”

n“Y-yeah, your face is saying no. I can tell it…”

n“…”

nIt took everything of Rezen to prevent himself from laughing. Doing harm to a person that wanted to harm you first really feels good!

nHurray to pettiness! Fuck you to being the bigger person!

nRezen didn’t expect that the ‘psychology life hacks’ of staying silent he found on the internet would actually be this effective

nLook at how flustered Macy is!
