Neurolink System in the Modern World

"She already have a boyfriend," she retorted, attempting to portray Raeya in a less favorable light.

"I don't really care. It's not like she's already married," I replied with a cheeky smile.

She was once again taken aback by my response.

"But I don't really think it's a good idea for you to hit on her. To be honest, Raeya tends to be quite easy, so she ends up going out with many guys. I don't want to badmouth her, but since you've been really nice to us, I thought I'd be honest with you," She added, pretending as though it was a difficult decision to say such bad words to her dear friend.

This girl was a clear example of a sore loser. Instead of letting her friend take the lead, she'd rather tarnish Raeya's image than risk losing the upper hand.

"Ae, I appreciate your concern, but I don't really need you to make decisions for me," I replied, adopting a more serious tone, showing her that I was displeased with her meddling.

"I... I'm really sorry," she apologized, bowing her head. I couldn't see her face at that moment, but I was certain it was twisted with frustration.

"Just go and get her for me. I'll be waiting right here," I declared, not giving her a chance to respond further. It was even more amusing because I could sense her ego crumbling as I took charge of the situation.

"Okay," she replied with a meek voice as she reluctantly got up and made her way back to her group.

Watching her walk away, a smirk escaped my lips.

'I'm a really petty person,' I chuckled, shaking my head with a mischievous grin. There's just something inherently satisfying about using power and wealth in such a playful manner. It's good to know I have this twisted personality.

'I don't know if it's the system's fault for unlocking more of my brain, but honestly, I don't mind being a tad bit crazy if it means having more power. Well, I don't want to go completely off the rails, but for now, I don't see any major issues,' I mused, half-jokingly, as I contemplated the intriguing trade-off between my power and mental health.

'Mind Link,' I activated my skill, linking my mind to Mizy's. I wanted to witness the next scene.

Seeing her approach Raeya, I waited for her to do something.

"You sure took your sweet time talking to him, Ae! Did you seal the deal?" Raeya was the first to chime in, radiating too much positive energy, almost as if she was trying her best to win Ae's approval.

However, her attempt didn't go as planned because Ae shot her a deadly look that could've put her six feet under if glares had such power.

"Let's just eat," Ae spoke in an annoyed tone.

Both Raeya and Mizy remained silent. They had already pieced together what had happened.

'This woman is quite the liar, she didn't even follow my instructions," I chuckled as I observed them.

'But this is even better. I can still have some more fun,' I said with a smile spreading across my face as I stood up and walked over to join them.

"Mr. Zyn!" Raeya exclaimed as she spotted me approaching. Ae's back was turned to me, and she hadn't noticed my arrival until it was too late.

"Did you tell her, Ae?" I asked, catching her off guard. Her shoulders tensed as if she had just realized the blunder she had made .

Maybe she had assumed she could convince me that Raeya wasn't interested in me, but let's be honest, I was so irresistible that no one could resist me.

"Tell me what?" Raeya pointed to herself.

"Well, actions do speak louder than words. How about a little stroll?" I turned to Raeya, offering her my hand. By this point, she had a pretty good idea of what was happening, and the happiness on her face was impossible to conceal.

Meanwhile, Ae remained conspicuously quiet, too embarrassed to say a word.

"Let's go?" I asked Raeya, and she happily took my hand.

I noticed her smug look towards Ae, as if she was provoking a reaction. Ae, in turn, seemed tempted to react out of habit, even raising her hand as if to slap her.

"Oppa!" Raeya exclaimed, holding onto my arms and taking refuge behind me.

"What's wrong, Ae?" I asked with a casual expression.

"Nothing... nothing," Ae replied, shaking her head and lowering her hand.

"Alright, then I'll borrow your friend for a little while," I said as I turned and walked away with Raeya.

My back was turned away from Ae, but through Mizy's perspective, I could still see everything clearly.

She was seething with anger, and she bit her lip in frustration. It was evident that she felt really insulted. For someone with her strong personality, there was nothing more embarrassing than being outmaneuvered by her own friend.

She had made a lot of efforts to capture my attention, only for me to be taken away by someone she had never considered a real threat.

Just the sight of her sour expression brought a smile to my face.

"Oh my god, you look so handsome when you smile, OPPA!" Raeya exclaimed. Unlike Ae, she was saying these things genuinely, because she was just too energetic and open.

"Why are you smiling?" Raeya asked, her curiosity evident in her playful expression.

"Yeah, I just saw something amusing tonight," I replied with a suggestive smile as I held her hand and slowly tightened my grip.

She was taken aback by my bold move, and her face flushed red with embarrassment. While she had a lot of experience with men, none of them could compare to me.

"Let's go to my room," I whispered seductively into her ear, my warm breath stimulating her senses.
