Chapter Index

    Rustling sounds.

    In the quiet examination room, the sound of the girl disrobing echoed like a sudden, ambiguous disturbance in the dead of night.

    Of course, ‘ambiguous’ was just what Yenir thought. Possessing Second-Stage fighter talent, Yu Keran only felt as though eyes behind her were like magnifying lenses, scrutinizing every inch of her.

    The dry, cold air made her feel as if she were standing naked in an endless snowy wasteland—a humiliation that made her want to hunch down in shame.

    She could even imagine how grotesque the expression on that guy’s face must be—perhaps even lusting to devour her!

    Indeed, much like Yu Keran’s own thoughts, Yenir was intently staring at the smooth curve of the young girl’s back, unable to stifle his murmured admiration.

    “So pale…”

    “Turn a little, Little Sister. What are you afraid of?”

    With a mischievous grin, Yenir’s lazy eyes swept over the young girl who had her back turned. Despite Blood Nightingale’s explosive figure, she carried a sort of big-sister charm. Yu Keran, however, exuded that unmistakable youthful awkwardness.

    Although, I must admit, her curves were quite stunning—like a bridge linking two small peaks if you look closely…

    No, Yenir didn’t actually take a closer look.

    Unlike when feigning innocence, he was now multitasking—distracting the inspector while subtly extending his psychic power to scout the surroundings.

    Just as he had predicted, compared to the stringent checks imposed by male Awakeners, the women here were treated with considerably more leniency.

    Suppressing his inner guilt and mixing in anguish with the group, he noted that the Awakeners who had been checked up ahead had been led away about a hundred meters, while Ming Luo and the others queuing behind were his own people, so there was no fear of drawing attention.

    (That should do…)

    Feigning a desire to get a closer look, Yenir let out a light, affected chuckle as he nonchalantly shifted his stance toward the female inspector.

    Ignoring the contemptuous glare he received, Yenir remained cool and collected, simply adjusting his angle for a better view and moving a few steps closer.

    In his estimation, Yu Keran would soon be unable to endure the examination; once it was over, she would be the first to flee the room. Seizing that gap, he would quickly use his psychic power to knock out the inspector and seize control!

    Though it was risky—and he would have to figure out how to dispose of this woman afterward—Yenir felt he had no other choice.

    “Hum…”

    Invisible psychic force instantly latched onto the young girl’s hand as she focused on the blood-sampling needle. Yenir’s plan was simple: make her bleed a little more so he could swap the sample.

    However, as he drew closer—almost standing directly opposite her—Yu Keran’s anger nearly brought her to tears.

    In her eyes, Yenir’s gaze wasn’t fixed on the needle at all—it was locked on her chest!

    The barely perceptible psychic force clinging to her gave her the unsettling sensation of being caressed!

    Heavens have mercy! She had no idea how perverted Yenir truly was—so twisted that even his gaze could become something tangible!

    “Pervert!”

    “W-weep… Hurry up with the exam, Prosecutor! I beg you, please check me quickly…”

    Her face flushed as red as a boiled shrimp. Having grown up in the Safe Zone from a young age—not exactly from a High-Level Awakener family with high status—Yu Keran was considered a Middle-Level Official in the Safe Zone and rarely interacted with the lower classes or the outside world.

    Enduring such humiliation for the first time, her composure nearly shattered! She had never even held hands with a boy, let alone been treated this way!

    Yet today, she was being thoroughly ogled by not an old man, but a lecherous youth! If this weren’t a base, she’d suspect he’d already pounced on her to devour her!

    “Fire Wolf Team! Don’t you dare go too far!”

    Also a woman, the female inspector couldn’t bear it any longer. She abruptly turned and scolded Yenir.

    Although she suspected that Yenir had likely bribed his way into the upper echelon—despite the grim fates that awaited the survivors, perhaps even erasing their names—this incident was trivial. Yet, unable to let it pass, and out of a semblance of conscience, she intended to help the girl with a quick, makeshift check.

    Especially since she really didn’t want any more time stuck with Yenir! Just the thought of having to examine this pervert again made her feel sick!

    But amid her scolding, the inspector entirely missed the sudden flash of cold resolve in Yenir’s eyes.

    (The greater the emotional turmoil, the better!)

    Soon enough, as the examiner’s expression darkened further, Yu Keran finally finished her checkup. With her eyes bloodshot, she burst into tears and clutched her clothes as she bolted out.

    Judging by her demeanor, it seemed that lingering even another second would result in Yenir devouring her.

    “Had enough now?!”

    “Your turn!”

    With cold command, leaving Yenir no time to savor the moment, the woman glared at him. If it weren’t required by orders, she would have kicked Yenir out long ago!

    “Not nearly enough.”

    “If you haven’t seen enough, then it’s your turn—now take off your pants!”

    Listening to Yenir’s cheeky grin, the inspector took a deep breath and responded with biting sarcasm.

    “Just because you’ve got a bit of money and clout, you think you can play these games. I’d like to see just how capable you really are.”

    A double entendre in one fell swoop.

    To her, Yenir was no better than a walking corpse!

    He might still have some privileges, but being sent here meant that even his backing was nothing more than a Middle-Level Official.

    Shrugging, Yenir chuckled lightly, choosing not to bicker further with the inspector.

    Yet, he caught a strange undertone in the woman’s strained words—her anger barely repressed beneath her voice.

    (Am I being treated like a dead man? It seems we’re in deep trouble here—not just the earlier issues, but now even bigger ones…)

    Slowly gathering his psychic power, a flash of silver gleamed in Yenir’s eyes as his hands unhurriedly began to undo his pants.

    Just as he caught the fleeting glimpse of the woman’s not-so-defiant, instinctively evasive gaze, Yenir unleashed his precise psychic force without hesitation!

    “Look me in the eyes!”

    “Boom!!”

    In an instant, it was as if he transformed into someone else entirely.

    Before the inspector could react, she was horrified to find Yenir had suddenly appeared right before her.

    And those eyes—which had previously been lewd and sleazy—now shone like a starry sky, mesmerizing and intimidating!

    Psychic force unleashed! Target locked! Power shifted in one continuous flow!

    ………….

    Ten seconds later.

    “Phew…”

    Exhaling, Yenir rubbed his brow wearily as he looked at the inspector lying motionless on the floor, her eyes vacant. He couldn’t help but think that controlling her was even more exhausting than a fierce battle.

    Mission accomplished. Although prolonged control under his rough handling would eventually expose her, she should hold on long enough for him to finish his investigation.

    Feeling oddly pained for himself, Yenir sighed inwardly, then pulled up his pants and sent a message to Ming Luo and the others waiting in the adjoining room.

    It was a signal that he had secured the area.

    Not sure how many times he’d sacrificed himself for the country, Yenir winced at the thought of all the indignities he’d endured.

    What could he do? If he didn’t sacrifice someone, then Ming Luo would have to shoulder this burden alone.
