Neurolink System in the Modern World-Chapter 260: Stalling Time

"Maybe," she said, her voice carrying a nonchalant tone, as if my threat didn't faze her in the slightest.

"My patience is wearing thin. You really don't want to see me angry!" I declared, the tension evident in my tone.

I seized control of Kanon's body, directing her away to safety while I walked slowly towards the mysterious woman with a confident stride.

My faker ability kicked in, and my whole vibe changed. I went from regular me to someone with domineering personality.

Plus, with these burn scars making my face look all scary, my killer aura got even stronger. This was also why I'm not sweating about her figuring out who I am—my messed-up face makes it nearly impossible to know my identity.

I stopped after she was on my attack range, changing my strategy on the fly. The invisible energy around me transformed into a colossal hand, reaching out to snatch her.

"Cute" she giggled, and like a phantom, the invisible hand simply passed through her.

'Fuck me,' I cursed inwardly. Was this woman pulling an Obit* move, becoming intangible? Or was she just a projection, an illusion before me?

My thoughts raced to find answers, and the theory of her being a projection seemed more likely.

With that in mind, my crows started to scout the area again, searching for her real body. There was no point in battling a mere image, after all.

"You're powerful, how about you join us," the woman's voice echoed again. She was still carrying her umbrella, but now I could see her small lips and cute nose from the distance. It was evident that she was really young.

"Join you? I don't see any merits to joining a bunch of psychotic people. You just killed hundreds of people for no reason," I spat at her, trying to sound like the good guy.

"Oh, so you're on the good side?" she asked with a curious tone in her voice.

"Nah, I'm on my side," I replied sarcastically. I needed to buy some time while my pets searched for her real body.

Talking to her seemed like the best option for now. I stood up, crossing my arms casually, feigning an air of nonchalance.

"If you join us, then you can become more powerful," she proposed.

"Tempting offer, but I was doing fine alone," I responded.

"I see, well. I hate someone as strong as you being killed, so I won't tell my boyfriend about you. How about we just end this here?" she giggled, her voice taking on a flirtatious tone.

"What do you mean? I thought you did all this mess just to kill me?"

"Kill you? … We don't even know who you are. The reason we came here was because one of our own died while going after a Cerebrum Agent. But looking at you, it seems you're the one who killed Dong Ha,"

"You mean that nobody is one of your members?" I mocked her, attempting to stall for additional time. It would be bad if she disappeared on me right now.

"He was so weak, I thought he was just a regular guy," I added with a sneer.

"Well, he was useless in a fight, but that guy's power was good for other stuff. My boyfriend was very mad that you killed him. But don't worry, I like you. So, consider this me doing you a favor," she proposed with a smirk, her tone oozing with arrogance.

This girl was just using her boyfriend's name to scare me. I would fold him like a soda can if he dared show his face right now.

"You're so confident. How about you call that boyfriend of yours, instead of acting like fucking bitch? I hate arrogant people like you the most." I raised my hands, gesturing for her to attack. She acted like a big shot, but she was just a projection.

The moment I find her real body, I planned to make her beg for her life and enslave her.

As for her boyfriend? I'm guessing he's the leader of Nexus Legion. I plan to make that guy regret messing with me so much that he'll beg for me to stop. Might as well fuck her bitchy girlfriend in front of him.

"You don't know what's good for you," she sighed and turned away.

"Wait!" I shouted, trying to stop her.

"You change your mind?" she stopped midway.

"I just want to say something important ,"

"What's that ?" She asked

"It's better to talk to you in person," I said, a subtle grin forming on my face.

"What do you mean?" Confusion crossed her features, but in an instant, her surroundings shifted, and she found herself standing right in front of me.

"No!" she exclaimed, her eyes widening in shocked. However, before she could react, my hand had already chocked her neck.

One of my rodents had found her hiding place in the sewer, and with a quick move, I teleported her into my grasp. She thought she could escape while pretending to be powerful. Little did she know, I had a lot of hidden powers.

"Not so confident now, are you?" A sadistic smile formed on my face. This girl had been getting on my nerves, and now that I had a hold of her, I felt an urge to torture her.

"I-I can't breathe," she gasped, her struggles intensifying.

Ignoring her words, I continued to tighten my grip. Her face turned blue as the lack of air started to affect her brain.

I must admit, she was a true beauty, surpassing even Evelyn in her stunning and youthful allure.

Her lustrous black hair framed a face adorned with jet-black eyes, typical characteristics of a Korean woman, yet her features were nothing short of perfection. The harmony of her delicate features created an exquisite portrait of beauty that was hard to ignore.

Watching her suffer right now made me feel excited.

'I bet her cute mouth would fit perfectly with my cock,' I chuckled to myself.

"You're acting tough, but is this all the power you've got? Right, Kim Soo-Min?" I mocked her.

Her expression shifted as she heard me mentioning her name.
