Chapter 72: Captives
Their actions, given the situation and all that they had just witnessed, were quite wise, but inevitably futile. Kaizer forked a finger over, causing the two women’s bodies to become rigid on the spot, their legs lifted off the ground as they slowly levitated over toward Kaizer.
Despair etched their features as they were turned to face the placid young man who was like a lone mountain amidst a storm, the corpses of all those who opposed him still present in the area. Apart from them and the three B-class espers - including the African American man - everyone who took on the mission was dead, all killed by Kaizer’s hand.
"Wait, don’t do anything rash! That despicable guy used his esper ability to forcibly control our bodies to attack!" Sadistic Flame hurriedly said when she saw that they were getting really close to Kaizer.
Kaizer raised an eyebrow at her. "So you’re telling me that you did not already have the thought to attack together in order to split the spoils of this mission?"
Sweat appeared on the forehead of Sadistic Flame as she did not know how Kaizer managed to guess their original thoughts. "I-I don’t know what you are talking about, Sir, we just wanted to spectate the final outcome."
Kaizer actually felt somewhat amused. "Have you forgotten something important? When I first came here, that gray-haired guy who mind-controlled you said that I am also a telepath."
Reminding her of this, Sadistic Flame’s expression froze as she thought back and realized that Carl did indeed say that, which left her to display shock, then shame as she understood that Kaizer knew the truth from the very source.
Kaizer glanced at Crystal Ice, who had been silent all this time, now closing her eyes to focus. "At least your ally is a little smart. The moment I highlighted that I was a telepath, she immediately began practicing mental exercises to try and block out my intrusion."
Sadistic Flame speechlessly glanced at Crystal Ice, who now opened her eyes to look at her captor with an emotionless gaze.
"Was it effective?" she asked seriously.
Kaizer paused. "No, but thanks for conjuring the image of your friend naked as a defense mechanism. It was a pleasant sight."
