The Only Player in ‘Child of Stardust’

"..."

The Caucasian director furrowed his brows and began to subconsciously contemplate Zhou Yuan’s words. Moments later, he violently shook his head, his expression souring as he snorted coldly, "Smooth talker, playing dumb—that won’t save you."

As an American, he indeed harbored fear towards the IRS, having witnessed many people devastated by the National Revenue Bureau’s heavy crackdown on tax evasion. Furthermore, the man’s words seemed to carry some sort of magic power, causing him to almost believe such nonsense!

[He passed a willpower check and was not fooled by you, unfortunately. If there had been a group of women here, they would surely have been charmed by your unparalleled charm into defecting on the spot.]

Zhou Yuan, now with a charm value of 63, could be deemed terrifying. Even among Enchanting Demons, he was considered a "king." Creatures with insufficient willpower were easily dominated by him, subjugating their will to do favorable acts for him while believing it to be their true nature.

Such enchantment required no elaborate medium; a single look, a syllable, a gesture, or even a whiff was enough to bewitch someone utterly.

If combined with the Mind Enchantment Ability, it could easily twist a person’s emotions and values, completely dominating them from the level of personality.

While speaking earlier, Zhou Yuan had been covertly using the Spiritual Energy Charm Technique and implanting psychological suggestions. Even with these combined tactics, a Middle Rank extraordinary person would be bewitched more than 90% of the time, but these directors merely hesitated for a moment.

As for psychological suggestions, they were entirely ineffective.

In fact, a will that could not be overridden or influenced had long been planted in their minds.
