Golden eyes narrowed on Charlotte Bonds. She stood back a little way. The hallway stretched behind her. Fluorescent light hummed overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faint buzzing came from above, where light spilled onto the dull squares below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sly look crossed Charlotte’s face as she tucked one arm over the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there a law against walking in the building where I work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quiet voice carried her words, yet a small lift at the corners of her mouth showed she found it funny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet deep down, Julian held another thought entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Leave now.

later?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had already learned something very dangerous about this man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His thoughts leaked out in ways that didn’t make sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing his inner voice again, her eyes flickered with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that’s what he planned to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brainwash them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze lingered on Julian for a moment longer before she nodded slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice carried a strange tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t follow you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she casually turned and walked down another hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of leaving—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She headed straight toward the surveillance room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he thought she would simply walk away...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was badly mistaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pushed open the surveillance room door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, several monitors displayed camera feeds from across the detention center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte pulled a chair over and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her teal eyes fixed on the screen showing the interrogation meeting room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s see,\" she muttered softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How exactly you plan to brainwash people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Julian entered the meeting room alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal door closed behind him with a dull click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, the four captured members of the Scythe Division were already seated at the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their wrists weren’t restrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one believed they would attempt anything stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially not after what had happened earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, the four of them weren’t particularly upset about being detained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt extremely lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had offended someone like Julian D’Aurelius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That alone felt like a miracle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when they saw Julian walk into the room...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions instantly became serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear appeared in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies stiffened instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This terrifying figure had already spared them once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why had he come again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All four of them swallowed nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, they even felt the urge to run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was rumored to be a Gold Realm expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stronger than both the Obsidian King Evan and Lucas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply stood there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze was calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under that gaze, the four men suddenly felt enormous pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their backs straightened involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if a predatory beast had entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something far more dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air seemed to grow colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silence stretched longer and longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four men’s breathing became uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does he want?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he going to kill us?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their fear continued to grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt something terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint trace of killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was enough to make their hearts pound violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even breathing started to feel difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their minds trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as their nerves reached the breaking point—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint purple light suddenly flickered inside Julian’s golden eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was subtle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But hypnotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the four men saw it—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their vision blurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their heads spun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their thoughts became heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world around them seemed to melt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their consciousness slowly drifted into a strange haze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost echoing inside their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you satisfied with your work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four men stared blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then slowly shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you satisfied with your income?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They shook their heads again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian stepped closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes glowed faintly with the power of the Dominion Tyrant Eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want a stable and prosperous life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They began to nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their movements were slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mechanical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian’s voice lowered further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to slack off during the day...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...and spend nights at clubs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their heads nodded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...earning millions every month...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...with four dishes and a soup waiting on the table?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they nodded vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian spread his hands dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what are you waiting for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Join the D’Aurelius Group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rescue the oppressed villains.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eliminate all inequalities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice suddenly rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From today onward...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are comrades.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room fell silent again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple glow faded from his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four men blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clarity slowly returned to their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep inside their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old Obsidian Wing organization turned people into ghosts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the D’Aurelius Group...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turned ghosts into snitches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian leaned forward slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know what to do now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then answered seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slack off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to the club.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to the club.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to the club and eat four dishes and a soup.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian’s face twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he wondered if the brainwashing had failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wrong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice suddenly rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You need to reform first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be good people!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then go to the club!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four men straightened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We will listen to Young Master Julian!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian nodded with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can be taught.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled a chair over and sat down casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then crossed one leg over the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me what you know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four immediately began speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Information flowed out of their mouths rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the surveillance room, Charlotte watched the entire scene on the monitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression slowly turned blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What the hell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She listened carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after several minutes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All she heard were the four men enthusiastically discussing clubs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to the club.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Four dishes and a soup.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Club life is good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlotte rolled her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This idiot...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up from the chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not watching this nonsense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she left the surveillance room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the meeting room, about five minutes later—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian had already gathered all the information he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was... interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back in his chair, thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Evan was planning to go to Valcenza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the one taking control of Valemont...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Lucas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian’s eyes narrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original storyline, that man appeared much later in the story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Evan’s junior brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone who constantly tried to steal Evan’s position as Obsidian King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had schemed against Evan many times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even caused him serious losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But eventually—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evan outsmarted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And killed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julian rubbed his chin slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because the storyline collapsed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That guy is appearing early?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His golden eyes glimmered thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That makes things
