Chapter 11: Exploring Limits
In truth, this was quite obvious from the start. Telepathy was amazing in allowing one to read minds, but within Kaizer's current controllable range of 100 meters around him, he could still sense everything as if he were physically there without having to tap into thoughts.
That was definitely Telesthesia, only he could not expand this range at all. Apart from that, he could vaguely sense an inclination of what was about to happen, like a clairvoyant, which was what he mostly relied on during the interrogation.
Otherwise, he could not have described the fake savior accurately enough to mislead the two officers.
Aside from this, Kaizer could vaguely feel ethereal presences in the void, seemingly a paper-thin barrier away from him. He couldn't see or hear anything, but he was definitely aware of a separate veil in reality where something unspeakable existed, something humanity was not ready for.
Kaizer did not know how to feel. Any person would be excited to awaken powers, and even he was somewhat moved to have upgraded his mostly passive ability into something that looked like it had strong growth potential.
But he was completely insecure. A person who won $10,000 would be ecstatic, going out to have some fun, save some of it, and maybe buy some cool new games while they were at it. There wouldn't be much pressure with that amount because there were countless others earning this amount even faster than you.
However, if one received around $10 billion in raw cash, that was another thing. No matter how calm and air-headed you were, you would instinctively begin to see shadows on the walls, because this amount of money was more than enough for certain parties to act in the name of greed.
Kaizer had never really hidden his previous weak Telepathy, but he also didn't share it because he knew that no one would feel comfortable around a person who could read minds. The mind is one's final sanctuary, where they could be as unscrupulous, evil, and immoral as they wanted without any repercussion.
You, a normal person, might be in class, boredly thinking about what it would be like to have superpowers while the teacher droned on about math. But the class beauty who always seemed aloof could be thinking about the most debaucherous orgy she wanted to experience, where everything followed her will.
