Chapter 236: Chapter 221: Level 1 Mental Strength and Level 1 Hypnosis Skill!
Just then, people from the Royal Club arrived.
However, before they reached the entrance, they were unaware of what had happened inside the booth.
Lin Yun asked the two bodyguards to take the two women wrapped in sheets downstairs; he stayed behind.
The two bodyguards nodded; they didn't know what Lin Yun was planning, but at this point, they were on the same side as Lin Yun and had to obey him.
Just as the two bodyguards left, Lin Yun took a look around the booth.
Thankfully, perhaps due to the VIP status of the booth, there was no surveillance equipment.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Master Lu and Master Mie, men of no ordinary stature, performing such deeds in the booth, would absolutely not tolerate the existence of surveillance devices.
With a wave of Lin Yun's hand, all the bodies in the booth, including the blood and brains splattered on the floor, disappeared without a trace.
Another wave of Lin Yun's hand sprayed something like an air freshener around the room, instantly refreshing the atmosphere, as if you were surrounded by nature.
All these happened within two or three seconds.
After that, Lin Yun stepped out of the room.
"You all, come in." Seeing the fast-approaching crowd, Lin Yun said casually.
Finishing his sentence, Lin Yun turned around and reentered the room.
Seeing this, the crowd faltered, then the leader led them into the room.
The booth's patron wasn't ordinary. No matter who he was or what had happened in the booth, when invited, they had to go in and check.
The leader didn't expect that there had been a massacre in the booth... or his thought process would've been different.
Although there was a shooting in the booth previously, Lin Yun was prepared. He had immediately thrown a device onto the floor, making sounds within a radius of twenty to thirty meters inaudible from the outside.
Signal-wise, too, nothing could get in or out.
"Hm?"
Upon entering the booth, the leader felt something was off.
First, there should have been twenty or thirty people here... now, there wasn't a single one, except for the man who had called them in.
Along with the two men and two women who left earlier, that made just five people.
Moreover, the air in the room was off, too fresh. The atmosphere was good at the Royal Club, but never this fresh.
Something felt wrong, very wrong...
"Who of you is the boss here?" Lin Yun turned around and asked, keeping his voice level.
"Huh? I... I'm the... boss of the Royal Club..." The leader faltered, his expression somewhat clueless as he spoke.
Ten minutes later, Lin Yun left the booth and slowly headed downstairs.
Unexpectedly, among the crowd was the boss of the Royal Club, which saved him a lot of trouble.
With Lin Yun leading and the crowd following behind, the boss of the Royal Club trailed closely behind Lin Yun, showing utmost respect and flattery.
"Huh? Isn't that the young man who just went upstairs?"
"Who is he? Even the boss is that respectful to him?"
"He must be someone really important..."
The waiters uttered their surprise upon seeing this scene.
Soon, Lin Yun left the Royal Club and got into a car.
"Let's go..." he said nonchalantly.
"Yes, boss," the bodyguard in the driver's seat responded respectfully.
The car then sped off like a dart.
Honestly, seeing the crowd respectfully see Lin Yun off, the bodyguards in the car were surprised. They never imagined that after Lin Yun told them to leave first, this would be the scene that followed.
So many had died, among them, two powerful figures...
They had thought Lin Yun stayed behind to cover their retreat, possibly even preparing for a massacre...
They never expected it to play out like that.
Could it be that Lin Yun owned the Royal Club?
They speculated quietly.
Royal Club.
"Shut up! No more discussing today's matters! If I catch anyone doing so, don't blame me for getting rough! Snapping your limbs, cutting your mouths open, all are possible! And all surveillance footage from this month, erase them completely. If anyone asks, say our surveillance system broke down!"
The boss, on his way back, heard some of his employees discussing what just happened and immediately glared at them, shouting out in anger.
All the employees immediately fell silent, no longer daring to speak.
They didn't doubt their boss's words in the least.
The Royal Club was very famous in Shen City, and the background of their boss, rumored to be deeply rooted in both the legal and illegal world, he had even killed people.
In working here, they certainly could not speak carelessly.
...
"According to the Cosmic Trading System's analysis, Level 1 Mental Strength... Level 1 Hypnosis Skill… can only hypnotize those people for about ten days... Sadly, I didn't save enough Spirit Crystals in reserve beforehand. Otherwise, if I'd upgraded my Mental Strength and Hypnosis Skill to Level 2, I could have hypnotized them for a hundred days..."
In the car, Lin Yun closed his eyes, sighing in his heart.
Indeed, the reason those people respectfully saw him off was that he had used the Hypnosis Skill on them.
The capacity of Level 1 Hypnosis Skill was limited, he didn't tamper with or erase their memories, he merely suggested to them that due to some matters, "Master Mo" and the people with "Master Lu" didn't want their whereabouts revealed and had left early – instructing them to keep the secret and tell no one.
Such situations in clubs like that were entirely normal.
Indeed, he successfully hypnotized them without much trouble.
Luckily, there were no formidable martial artists among them, the strongest was only at Mid Mingjin Stage and there were no people with formidable mental strength. Otherwise, successfully hypnotizing them wouldn't have been so easy.
His original mental strength was only at rookie level, though a pretty strong rookie. So as to use Level 1 Hypnosis Skill, he'd upgraded his mental strength to Level 1.
When he initially learned the method to cultivate mental strength, he had spent five Spirit Crystals.
Just now, when he upgraded his mental strength to Level 1, he spent fifty Spirit Crystals in total.
He'd learned the basic Hypnosis Skill a while ago, having spent ten Spirit Crystals. But when he upgraded it to Level 1 just now he had to spend a hundred Spirit Crystals.
Level 1 Hypnosis Skill teamed up with Level 1 Mental Strength and in certain aspects, it was quite powerful.
Therefore, the cost of learning and upgrading the Hypnosis Skill surpassed learning the method of cultivating mental strength and upgrading it.
Following the decimal system, if he wanted to upgrade mental strength to Level 2, he would have to spend 500 Spirit Crystals.
If he wanted to upgrade the Hypnosis Skill to Level 2, he would have to spend 1,000 Spirit Crystals.
When Lin Yun left the warehouse today, he only reserved slightly over 300 Spirit Crystals, naturally, that was insufficient.
"Ten days is nearly enough. Even if it was a hundred days, it might not necessarily stay a secret..." After a pause, Lin Yun thought to himself.
He had wanted to develop quietly, yet something like this had happened...
Nonetheless, he held no regrets.
Such scum did deserve to die.
Besides, the person they laid their hands on had once helped him. Continue your adventure with m|v-l'e m,p| y- r
If that girl was in this line of business, it would have been fine. But judging from "Master Mo's" words, the girl was still a virgin, clearly not in this business.
"Boss, I'm sorry... Weiwei and I have dragged you into this..." At that moment, Jiang Yan who was beside him, lifted her head to look at Lin Yun and said, her voice trembling.
The scene of Lin Yun killing those people, she had seen it with her own eyes. She hadn't expected Lin Yun to be so formidable, like a martial arts master straight out of a movie. Even more, she hadn't expected Lin Yun to go that far for them. This moved her greatly and simultaneously had her extremely worried.
They lived in a lawful society now, and the identities of those people weren't simple. With Lin Yun killing them, what consequences would he have to face?
"Let me bear the responsibility for this. Just say that those people... were killed by me..." Suddenly, Jiang Yan gritted her teeth and spoke out.
"What exactly happened today?" Lin Yun glanced at the dispirited girl beside Jiang Yan, sighed lightly and asked.
Does she really think the authorities are fools? Even if she said she was the killer, someone had to believe her, and more importantly, those people's identities were complicated – dealing with the powers behind them wasn't that easy.
