The man let out a blood-curdling scream, causing the door behind to be broken through, allowing two servants of Wu to infiltrate my room and raise their long spears toward .
"I'm only defending myself," I smiled, my eyes slowly trailing to their master behind them. "Now leave alone. I have to question why this man tried to kill ."
"Huh? You almost got assassinated? But why? You aren't that famous…." Wu muttered, but upon further thought, she let out a long groan. "Are you serious… well… okay, do what you want, but just don't kill him. We'll execute him tomorrow just to appease the people and strike fear into the hearts of any traitors… possibly moles."
"Whatever you want, princess,"
And as the woman left, the man below violently shook his head from side to side, unable to speak as he manically choked on his saliva.
The door shut behind , his last bit of hope slowly fading from his eyes as those shaking pupils of his directed upwards, glazing over my foot which pressed further and further into his diaphragm.
I pushed the air out of his lungs, and as I bent down, bringing my heterochromatic eyes towards him, his eyebrows furrowed.
Clearly, he still had a bit of spirit in him. "[Heroic Persuasion]..." I muttered, my voice practically forcing its way into his eardrums and then digging itself into his brain, easily burrowing its way into him.
His eyebrows softened, and so did his eyes, allowing to remove my foot from his neck and sit on top of his chest, making sure not to take my eyes off of him.
"Now, the first question. Who sent you to kill ? Should be easy enough to tell that, right?"
"A warlord," The man responded in a very monotone voice, and as I signaled with my hands for him to continue, he cracked open those dry lips of his once again. "Sun Quan. Warlord Sun Quan hired to assassinate you."
"And for what reason did he try to assassinate ? Did he not tell you anything else besides the fact that he needed to die?"
"No. I was just paid heavily to kill you. It took a while to find your location and information, and took even longer to track your habits. Unfortunately, it did not turn out the way I had planned…."
His eyes almost seed to glaze over as he responded to , holding just a bit of consciousness to explain further than what I asked.
So, the severity of this skill must be determined by how weak or strong the victim is… and seeing how this is just a asly regular old human… he must be feeling the full effects.
"Where can I find this warlord? Is he under the control of the current emperor right now? I have never heard of him before… or is he from Mongolia?"
"He is one of the three warlords under the current Chinese emperor. He is at the sa status as General Fengxian."
"Feng… xian-?"
"General Lu Bu. The title given to him is the Flying General, but most refer to him as General Fengxian…."
This world was so weird. I was in the middle of old China, yet here I was, speaking perfect English with everybody, yet so still referred to Chinese words.
I could only assu this was due to the ease of life that ca with the system and this world Ares most likely forged for .
"Interesting… I guess I'll have to learn more about this place later. I'm so clueless on everything it almost makes seem suspicious," I muttered to myself, and as my eyes shifted around the room, I began to forge a decent plan in my head.
I also attempted to create many assumptions as to why people wanted to kill , and the sole and final one I narrowed down to… was the fact that I was training under Lu Bu himself.
"Okay, now sleep."
The man's eyes instantly rolled back into his head before I was able to even lay him down properly, but he still tried to kill , so I guess a bit of cruelty was deserved.
Soon, I called Wu back in, and her servants imdiately restrained the man's limp body, and just as I snapped my fingers, he slowly began to wake up.
He was still as obedient as ever, and I guess it almost made it seem like I broke his mind as his head limply fell backward.
"Alright, thank you for letting us take him. Anyways, will you tell what information you were able to extract from him?" Wu intently leaned forward, fluttering her eyelashes.
"Sun Quan wants to kill … do he and the general have bad blood or sothing?"
"Oh… geez… okay…" Wu silently murmured. "Well, don't tell anybody else that information. He's another warlord under the control of the emperor, and he is most definitely the absolute most violent warlord out of the three… and uh… yes, he and the old man have so beef."
"What'd he do?" I scoffed.
"I don't know. The old man disrespected him in front of the emperor once, and their relationship just devolved into a ss of argunts and pure and utter hatred. That man will do anything to ss with the old man… he's also super creepy and a planning nut."
"Oh? You've t him?"
"Once for sothing. Anyways, he isn't very good at fighting and doesn't even have the most n in his army. He's just extrely smart. Like, really, really smart. I wouldn't be surprised if he's trying to overthrow the emperor… which is also why the old man constantly has to go back and forth since he trusts him the most."
"So we should stay wary of him?"
"Yes, please do. You'll underestimate him when you first see him, but please take my word for advice. Don't fuck with him any further… you do not want him to be going after you all the ti… and I guess for now, you can sleep with . I have tons of guards around my room, so no assassin will be able to get through."
"Thanks," I bluntly responded and packed up my stuff before moving over to Wu's bedroom, which was… well… pretty fucking big.
