’So…my family…’ Steadying her rapidly beating heart and wiping the sweat from her brow, Renni scooted closer to the railing and looked down at her hands for a moment before allowing her words to trail off.
’Your family indeed, if I’m being honest, I don’t give a fuck if they live or die, but I suppose what happens to them is up to them. If my Skills have weak effects and present the possibility of leaving a paper trail in the form of loose ends, well, I don’t mind eradicating them.’ Facing straight ahead, I glanced at Renni out of the corner of my eye and continued.
’The same goes for you; if I catch even a hint of you going against me, that’s the end of your entire bloodline, you included. For starters, the only reason I am telling you as much as I am is because I am 100% certain that you will not remember this conversation from the beginning.’
The words bouncing around Renni’s head were more than enough to cause concern and strike fear in her heart, but all I observed was her body shiver for a moment before returning to normal.
’So long as my interests aren’t touched, I have no reason to fight or go against you, Lord Xipher.’
’As it should be, anyway, it seems your family has finally congregated in the front room for the fake meeting I set up…shall we?’ standing up, I extended a hand toward the girl, which she took after some hesitation, allowing me to help her to her feet.
Once she was standing on her own and had stopped her legs from trembling after the subjugation I enforced on her through my combination of Particles and Racial Classification, I released her hand then calmly walked away from the stairs, through the large mansion, and arrived in the posh parlor, or front room as I called it.
Ignoring the chattering of the family of 9 people, I walked into the center of the room, stopping in everyone’s line of sight, pulled out a bottle of particle water, took a few sips, and then cleared my throat loudly right as Renni joined me.
"Who let this child into the parlor?" the only other woman in the family, Renni’s mother, Charlotte Harrington, asked with annoyance in her tone.
"Renni, this is no place for children; quickly take your little friend and leave; the adults are talking." Then, upon spotting her only daughter walk in behind me, she made a shooing motion with her hands while whisper-scolding Renni.
"Shut up, you dumb bitch," Stomping my foot hard enough to cause the ground to shake slightly, I angrily snapped at Charlotte, half because I despise being called a child and half because I felt like it.
Plus, as an added benefit, every one of the members of the Harrington Family’s attention shot toward me, and I caught them all staring into my eyes, generating the perfect setup for my plan.
Hearing my insolence toward their mother, all six of Renni’s older brothers jumped to their feet, screaming profanities and apparently ready to beat me to death, only they would never get a chance even to try.
"SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!" Channeling my overdrafted particles and Activating my Talent, then Coersion Skill, everyone but Renni’s eyes began glowing as my Coersion took effect, and with a soft thud, six asses planted themselves on the expensive couches.
"Woah…" behind me, I heard Renni exclaim in surprise, but I ignored her and went to work.
"You will hand over the deed to this mansion to me, along with any paperwork stating you ever lived here. You have 2 hours to pack your essentials and leave this house forever. Wipe it from your memory as you never owned or lived in this mansion."
The first command I gave was 47 words long, and each word was filled with ample amounts of Particles to ensure it stuck. I repeated the same command two more times, and once I saw everyone’s eyes glaze over, I knew it worked.
"You will leave me the keys and title for the Black Lambo outside and wipe it from your memory as well."
Since I knew whose car it was, it wasn’t difficult to pressure its owner, Renni’s Third brother Harold…hehehehe… Hester….Harrington, hehehe, into handing everything over since he personally bought the car in the first place.
Feeling my PC hit the 25% mark, I chugged down half the bottle of Particle water and issued my third command.
"You will increase your lewd and wicked activities threefold. I don’t care how you do it or who you do it to, but that is how it shall be."
The 29-word command drew another audible sound of shock from Renni, this time forcing me to look back at her and glare until she held up her hands in defeat; after all, it wasn’t like she was a righteous and just person, to begin with, also….she couldn’t exactly go against me either as I could crush her with a single finger.

Shaking my head with disdain, I targeted Renni’s father….Howard Horace Harrington and demanded that he leave me all his valuables, which were currently in the house, along with the contact information for his housing agent.
After that, I sent everyone off to gather their things, informing them that we would reconvene in two hours. Soon, it was only Renni and me alone in the front room, with me sitting on one couch and her standing in front of me with her head hung in a mixture of anxiety and fear.
The reason was that she had just asked me a question that I wasn’t sure how to respond to, as it would unravel one too many threads.
She was pleading with me to keep her memories.
Crossing my left leg over my right and leaning back on the soft couch, I stared hard at the young girl in a poofy pink dress for several minutes before finally breaking the silence.
"Give me one good reason why I should allow you to keep your memories.
