"Darling, you're back!" Elaine's voice rang out with excitent, her eyes lighting up as she dashed towards the mont she caught sight of entering headquarters.
It was as though she had been eagerly anticipating my return, her enthusiasm visible in the way she hurried towards , a bright smile gracing her face.
"I'm ho," I replied, returning her affection with a tight hug, feeling a sense of warmth in her embrace.
Inside the HQ
I had designated the highest floor of my residential building as our main base. It offered a view of the city and was equipped with all the necessities. Only my most trusted harem mbers were present here, each with assigned tasks to pass the ti.
In my absence, they had grown quite bored, so I delegated various tasks to keep them occupied and feeling useful.
When they heard Elaine the other girls also rushed over to greet , wrapping in hugs. It was lucky I was strong; otherwise, I might have been overwheld by them.
"Jin-hoo," a voice echoed behind . It was Mio. I had explained everything to her, so she no longer had plans to escape.
"Oh, sorry, Elaine, please assign soone to take her to her room," I gave her so instruction.
"Mio, please wait for Rei i and the others. I've already contacted them," I added, patting her head and kissing her forehead.
Though I hadn't done it yet with her, it was wise to start making her fall in love with right away.
Once that was settled, Elaine and I made our way to the eting room. I had been away for quite so ti, so I needed a recap of what had transpired in my absence.
Joining us were Kanon and the other Cerebrum won agents whom I had planted. Now, they were working under .

Inside the eting room, I sat at the front while 12 won sat around a long glass table.
The room was equipped with a large tinted window, filtering the light while still allowing us to see outside. This window was a one-way mirror, ensuring privacy during our discussions.
"Give the details," I asked.
"I received information from Miss Yen that the summit has already ended. As expected, the outco was unfavorable; the other continents were not willing to provide their full support for the extermination of the Zol Clan," Kanon replied with a anxious look.
Not just her, almost everyone here had a negative expression after learning about the existence of the Zol Clan and their plan to initiate a war against humans.
While they might be under my influence, and was safe here. Their relatives were humans are vulnerable. Thus, it was only natural for them to feel threatened in certain situations.
"You don't have to worry. I could beat the Zol Clan single-handedly if they dare to attack Korea.," I chuckled to lighten the atmosphere.
And I wasn't exaggerating; my power now was sothing even that Zely woman could not fathom.
"Thank you, Darling," they chid in, their expressions brightening after hearing my reassurance.
Shifting the conversation, I locked eyes with Kanon again. She was my primary contact for all Cerebrum-related information.
"Kanon, have you found anything about how humans defeated the Zol Clan before?" I was curious about the group that had achieved such a feat.
Despite my efforts to dig up information during my ti in Jeju Island, it was as though all records regarding that period had been erased.
"Not much," Kanon shook her head, "But I received insider information from the Jeju Island director about where we might find it," she added.
"Where?"
"Here's the info," Kanon said as she handed the tablet.
I quickly read through the information.
"The International Space Station?" I mused aloud.
The ISS was the largest satellite orbiting Earth, serving as a space laboratory and living quarters for astronauts.
It consisted of multiple interconnected modules, including laboratories, living quarters, and solar panels for power generation.
"I can't believe they hid the info in this place. Are they really sure?" I asked, seeking clarification.
"According to them, the ISS has an encrypted system. It's like a computer that holds all the secret information in the world, but the only way to send and receive information is to manually access it via a special USB," Kanon explained.
Pausing for a mont, I contemplated the information provided by Kanon.
'I can teleport there directly if I know the exact coordinates,' I muttered to myself.
Quickly, I searched in my Mind Computer for the distance between the ISS and the Earth's surface, discovering that it was only 400 kiloters.
However, to obtain the exact coordinates, I would first need access to the NASA computer in order to map everything accurately. Mapping Earth and mapping space were entirely different tasks.
"Alright, I'll handle that matter. Is there any more news you wanted to tell ?" I asked, ready to address any further updates or concerns.
Everyone remained silent, indicating that everything they wanted to say had been addressed. However, just as I was about to end the eting, Kanon spoke up.
"Darling," she said, standing up and walking towards .
"What is it?" I asked, curious about her sudden approach.
She leaned in and whispered, "It's Ayumi's graduation ."
"..." I was stunned to hear her words.
I had been neglecting her. How could I forget about my favorite girl? She had stopped texting because I had instructed her not to disturb unless it was urgent. Read the latest on empire
"Alright, I'll take care of that too after I'm done with my other business," I sighed, feeling a twinge of guilt weighing on .
This was the downside of having so many won around. While I could have asked her to stay in my residential building, I didn't want her to feel like just another one of them. I wanted her to live her life normally, unaware of my chaotic world.
It might just be self-satisfaction for , but I really do dote on her a lot.
