The next hour, I gathered everyone together.
"Guys, so I know what the next challenge is, and your dude here, Kim Joonghyuk, also knows about it. But don't mind him; let me explain this shit to you," I said.
"He can explain it to us. You don't need to do it. He's enough," Kimiyo, Kim's party member, said.
"Yah, but that lady can tell us. She's cute," Nicky, the Thai boy around the same age as Alia, said.
"I'm too old for you, dear," I replied.
"I know, but telling the truth is not a crime," he said.
"Shut up! She's only mine, and she's a good leader and a good explainer," Alia said, pushing Nicky's cheeks.
"So, the plan is, since we need 10 members but are apparently short by four, we're gonna kidnap some members," I said nonchalantly.
"Kidnap?" Kim asked.
"Don't doubt her," Kai said.
"That's a good point, Kai," I said.
"So, who are we gonna kidnap?" Kai said, excited about the plan.
"You seem too excited," I said.
"No, no, that's not it," Kai said.
"You seem suspicious," Kimiyo said.
"Shut up," Kai replied.
"Kai, don't be overexcited; you're gonna get tired," I said.
"What?" Kim, who had been quiet for a while, said.
"Nothing weird is going on. I want him for his power, not for anything suspicious," I said, bowing jokingly like a butler.
"I wouldn't mind that option too," Kai said quietly, only loud enough for Kim to hear.
"And you were warning me," Kim said quietly, just loud enough for Kai to hear.
"What are we gonna do?" Kai asked.
"You have to teleport to America, specifically Los Angeles, darling," I said.
Kai's face went pale.
"That far?" he said.
"Haha, now you don't wanna do it? I can ask Kim," I teased.
"No, I can do it, but my light is low," Kai said.
"I'll transmit mine to you," I said.
"Then what will you use? A lack can cause serious effects," Kim said.
"I can buy a bottle of light with money," I replied.
"Where do you get that much money?" Kim asked.
"Ah, there are some elites who give me a lot of money as gifts for my performance and for letting them view my domain. Watching me for one hour in my domain earns me 5,000 coins," I said.
"What the actual f***? 5,000 coins just to watch your domain? What's so special about it?" Kimiyo said.
"I don't know," I said.
But Kim seemed to know something.
"So, how much money do you currently have?" Nicky asked.
"Are you sure you wanna ask?" I said.
"She's rich beyond our limit," Alia said.
"Haha, just more than six zeros," I said.
"That's insane," Kimiyo said.
"Okay, okay, let's go. Kai, here, have my light and these extra bottles of light," I said.
"Just give the bottle one; it will be enough," Kai said, as he didn't like the process of transmitting.
"Okay, okay," I said and handed him five bottles.
"They're enough," he said and then
teleported us both there.
"Just the two of us will go because taking extra people will cost more power supplies. And I think just the two of us will be enough since we can handle everything ourselves," I told the others before leaving.
Kim didn't seem satisfied but agreed reluctantly, and Alia also hesitated but eventually nodded. Kai, on the other hand, seemed way too happy about it.
After teleporting, he asked, "So, where are they gonna be?"
I replied, "Wait, I have a way to find them too."
He sighed and said, "Why do you always have a way to find someone?"
"I have another question," Kai said. "Out of all the worlds, why do we have to find people from America? And how do you always randomly meet new people around the world? I mean, they don't seem to know you at first. This is very suspicious. Are you hiding something?"
I quickly responded, "No, no, just... okay, I will tell you someday, but you have to wait for the right time."
"You promise?" he asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Yeah, I promise," I said, trying to sound convincing.
