Chapter 104: 104. Puppet
As Kai went near the core, he saw a lot of different creatures other than mermaids, but he didn't find anyone for his liking.
'I think I need to search faster.'
With that, he activated his heart control ability and increased his speed. He didn't activate any other abilities since the fragment wouldn't cover its aura.
Due to the increase in speed, Kai was able to search a lot of people and finally found a perfect target.
"Now, I only need to capture him and control him for my use," Kai muttered after he saw a shark head.
The reason he chose him as his target was because he was surrounded by a lot of mermaids and other creatures, which indicates that he is a person with some status.
"Now, the trouble is I want him alone to control him."
The shark head's fans were the reason that Kai immediately didn't take action. He began to brainstorm for solutions using his parallel thinking ability.
"I hope it works" Kai muttered and appeared behind shark head, he didn't show his presence to anyone.
Kai used his [Will Might] technique on the shark's head without affecting anyone around him.
The shark's head felt a sudden pressure on him, he wasn't even able to talk. A lot of sweat began to appear on his face and he clutched his head in pain.
"Master Dono, what happened to you suddenly?"
"Master Dono, are you feeling unwell?"
"Young master Dono, we should meet the doctor, I think there is something wrong with you."
The mermaids and shark head's bulter asked him after the sudden change in his behavior in their language.
Kai didn't understand anything, but he pretty much guessed the meaning from their gesture and expression.
He added his thoughts to his Will Power and conveyed it into the shark head's brain using the [Will Might] technique.
This is a new application that Kai developed during his seclusion near the dragon's lair. Ever since he learned that he needed to add his thoughts to his Will Power to empower them, he had an idea to try the same thing in his other techniques, which he did now.
"All of you, get away from me and leave me alone for a few hours. I need some free air." Shark Head or Master Dono yelled at his fan group.
His butler and mermaids didn't dare to talk back and left him alone like he said.
'It seems I succeeded in a single try, I didn't expect that.'
Kai added his thoughts to his Will Power on a whim, but he didn't expect him to succeed in a single try.
He planned to affect the work of neurons, which pass information throughout the body using his thoughts. His Will Power would overwrite the user's thoughts and convey a different action. It was a very hard technique, but he succeeded because the shark had a very weak Will, which made Kai's job easier.
"It's time to take action" Kai muttered and appeared behind shark head.
He used his hand and closed his mouth; after that, he brought him to the range of the Omnipresent Veil.
The shark head disappeared as Kai had intended. He wasn't able to resist in the entire process. Dono or Shark Head is only at early stage Tier 2, so his physical strength was nowhere near Kai.
Kai took him to an isolated place and set him free.
"Hey, do you know who am I? Where are you now, come and show your presence immediately and offer your treasure to me" Shark head yelled to Kai after he fell.
Kai didn't understand anything said by him, but he knew that he was being cursed by this damn shark.
Kai closed the shark's mouth and injected Will Power inside his head. He didn't send his Will Power slowly; instead injected everything in one go.
The shark's head's body shook in agony, he wasn't able to scream. Tears were formed in his eyes, he seemed like a person who never experienced pain in his entire life.
'Why is he overreacting?' Even Kai is baffled by this sudden situation.
He lowered his input and only let a small amount inside his head. Kai didn't do this out of pity or benevolence, Kai did this because he didn't want the shark head's brain to subconsciously remember him.
Shark head stopped struggling and stood motionless. Kai took his hands back and inspected him.
'He should be the perfect chess piece for me to acquire information from here.' Kai nodded in satisfaction.
"Go and mingle with your fans and act normal, don't let anyone suspect you." Kai conveyed this message using his Will Power and left the place immediately.
His energy, which was Will Power almost exhausted and he wouldn't be able to maintain his omnipresent veil for a long time.
Without any problem, Kai appeared outside the barrier. He dug a hidden cave and went inside it.
Kai also created a Tier 3 concealment formation to further hide his location. He didn't want anyone to know his location until he acquired enough information.
"I should have created a mind-reading technique, if I had that technique, I wouldn't have to wait for long," Kai muttered while watching Shark Head.
Shark head like Kai instructed joined his group again, but for the entire day he didn't do anything useful. He spends his time only with women, which irritates Kai a lot.
He didn't get angry or jealous since those mermaids weren't to his taste, but he regretted his decision to let him act normally to avoid suspicion from his butler.
His butler was only Tier 3, but Kai knew there was something about him that made him unique, he got this feeling when he inspected him.
'I should sleep and wake up tomorrow to acquire any useful.' Kai lost hope after he saw Shark Head going to his bed with three women, so he blocked his connection with him and went to sleep.
