Back to the village

Adriel walked to the middle of the room and said aloud.

"Can you all come here ?!"

People hurriedly got up and gathered around him, fearing that something bad would happen if they didn't do what Adriel said.

(Mmm, not good)

Adriel could perceive the fear that these people had for him, this was bad for his plan, he needed to convince them to go with him to the village, so he could not let these people continue to fear him, after all, it was not like if he could force them to come with him, they would sooner or later reveal themselves, driven by the irrational fear and hatred that humans tended to develop.

In truth, the people who believe they have nothing to lose are the scariest by far.

Adriel's gaze went to the end of the group, there was a woman in her 30s, attractive, but dirty, a 6-year-old boy held her hand tightly, as if he feared that it would disappear if she let go of it for a single second.

With a plan in mind, Adriel smiled, advanced toward the mother-son pair, and was positioned in front of them in less than a second.

"..."

People couldn't even speak anymore, this guy kept doing physics-defying things over and over again, to the point where they were no longer shocked, this was nothing special compared to the one-sided slaughter from before.

Adriel nodded to the dumbfounded mother in front of him and crouched down, smiled at the little boy who seemed confused about why suddenly there was a man in front of him.

"What's your name boy?"

Adriel asked, with a smile on his face, his face is truly beautiful, so much so that the boy calmed down completely after seeing him.

"My name is Roan, sir" the boy replied politely, he had quite a handsome face despite how dirty he was, and it seemed that he had received a good education from the way he answered.

"How is your life here?", Adriel asked as she handed him a candy that he took from the supermarket, he had several reasons for asking this, above all, he wanted to know what Richard really was like, he was not going to welcome a tyrant or someone who he oppressed people by force.

He needed someone to tell him how things were here, someone other than Richard and who is sincere, and what is sincerer than a child to whom you promise candy?

The boy's eyes sparkled the moment he saw the candy, he grabbed it with a speed that was probably the fastest of his life and responded with a happy smile "It's hard, there is little food, and we are hungry, but Uncle Richard shares the food with everyone, so mom and I can eat "

Adriel nodded, it seems that Richard is really a good leader, if an innocent child can say it without hesitation, it was very likely to be true.

"I'll give you a chance, if you do something funny, you will regret it" Adriel thought with some coldness, since he came here, of course he had psyched himself to kill living humans, he was not naive enough to believe that his [Universal enchantment] could make no one betray him or everyone joined him, force would always be necessary, for example, these people would never listen to him if they had not witnessed his strength with their own eyes.

With his actions finished from him, I return to the center of the room, the gazes of most of the people became softer, it seems that the small talk of him with Roan has helped them start to see me with good eyes.

"Well pay attention, I have a few things to tell you!" Adriel yelled, they all turned to him, they listened carefully, they knew that this mysterious man was going to reveal the reason why he rescued them.

Adriel told them the same thing that he said to Richard, while doing them, [Universal charm] was taking effect, they began to feel more attracted to Adriel gradually, by the time he finished his monologue, they trusted him in the same way that they would trust their best friends.

"This ... "

"It is hard to believe it"

"After all, it sounds too unreal"

"You can try it?"

"No, but I can show you" said Adriel, seeing their insecure faces, he continued, "You can take your time to think about it", after saying that, he left the lobby to let them discuss their decision, he was not going to force them to follow him, it was his decision.

I waited about an hour until the group, led by Richard, left the building loaded with all their food reserves.

Richard stood in front of Adriel and spoke to her in his usual dry voice.

"We have all decided to follow you"

Unexpectedly, not a single person chose to be left behind.

Looking at those who would be his first subordinates, Adriel smiled.

It is time to go back to the village.
