Neurolink System in the Modern World-Chapter 20: Consecutive Notification

Finally, after a couple of minutes, the pink-haired woman stepped out of the car, looking all disheveled with her hair all over the place.

I thought they'd both come out together, but the guy left immediately after giving her a brown envelope. She opened it, and her face lit up as she started counting the money inside.

A grin appeared on her face as she carefully tucked the money into her bag.

'So, he's her sugar daddy, huh?' I whispered to myself, realizing that the other guy must be providing her with financial support.

'This is my chance,' I murmured, taking slow and deliberate steps towards her. With her back turned, she remained blissfully unaware of my approach until I was only about two meters away.

"I saw everything!" I exclaimed, my voice catching her off guard. She spun around to face me, her expression shifting to one of unease.

"You're that guy from earlier," she said nervously.

"I saw you cheating just now," I stated with a hint of disdain.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" she retorted defensively.

"I have evidence. I have a picture of you kissing him in the lobby!" I accused, even though I actually didn't have any photographic proof since I was too caught up in the moment to take a picture.

"I..." She stammered, clearly taken aback.

This is my chance! Without giving her a chance to respond, I use my suggestion skill once again.

"I also have a video of you leaving the hotel together, and the moment you entered the car!" I added confidently.

Her expression underwent a rapid transformation as my accusations sunk in.

She seemed to want to retort, but my skill had already planted those ideas firmly in her head. In her mind at that moment, all that I said was undeniably true. So I decided to push my skill to the limit.

"I'm Juck's friend, and I feel obligated to let him know about what you've been doing behind his back," I scolded her, pretending as if I was chastising her for betraying my supposed friend. Of course, I'd only met that guy thrice, and as for the name, well, my Mind Eye skill proved quite handy this time. .

[Suggestion : Success]

"Please, don't do that! He'll be heartbroken if he finds out," she pleaded, her voice tinged with desperation.

Her genuine fear of the consequences was quite strong given the substantial amount of XP the system had awarded me. But it was her fault in the first place. She should've been more discreet and not flaunted her affair around the hotel lobby like that. She practically handed me more ammunition to use against her.

"But your actions aren't exactly right. Cheating on your boyfriend while he's dealing with an emergency situation – do you feel any remorse for that?" I scolded her, attempting to trigger her guilt. It's strange, but ever since I put those points into charisma, my way with words seems to have improved significantly.

My plan is to break her down gradually before I start pushing for bolder requests. I call it the "safest way to use suggestion."

"I did it for him," she choked out through her sobs.

"Wait, what?" I was taken aback once again. What was going on with this couple?

"I hooked up with that guy to help him with his sister's hospital bills. I got a text from him about her condition," she explained through her sobs. Her pitiful appearance almost triggered my male instinct to comfort her, but I managed to resist the urge.

"Don't be naive, you idiot," I silently scolded myself. Her explanation felt like a blatant lie.

The fact that she used the term "sister" instead of "Anna" was a glaring inconsistency. I recalled our previous conversation and her lack of reaction to the accident, and it was clear she was trying to manipulate me with her story. I refused to be fooled.

I'm sorry, but I'm an expert at spotting manipulative women. Compared to my aunt, you're just an amateur in that department.

"Don't lie to me ?" I sneered in contempt.

She didn't respond; instead, she averted her eyes.

"I've had enough of your lies. I'm going to call Juck now and send him the pictures and videos," I declared.

[Suggestion Succeed]

"No, please. I'll do anything, just don't tell him," she pleaded, rushing towards me and attempting to hug me. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝗹．𝐨𝗿𝗴

"Don't come any closer," I warned firmly, holding my ground.

[Suggestion Succeed]

She stop in her tracks as my words registered. The idea of using my suggestion skill to take advantage of her had crossed my mind, but sleeping with her right now was out of the question. Maybe if she took a shower and cleaned up, but even then, I wasn't inclined to settle for her. I'd rather take my chances with that rude attendant from before.

But I still have big plans for her.

"From now on, you will follow all my commands if you don't want your boyfriend to know," I asserted firmly.

[Suggestion Succeed]

"Alright, as long as you don't tell him," she replied, her voice trembling.

"And from now on, I don't want you sleeping with any other guys except Juck or if I specifically say so," I commanded, adding that last part as a contingency. After all, this girl was still a cutie, and who knows, I might change my mind later on.

[Suggestion Succeed]

"I promise," she replied, her voice laden with resignation.

The consecutive notifications felt like a victory song playing in my ears.

"Follow me ," I ordered .
