I don't want to be an elf!

"The ones who should be worried are not you, but them." Miku Yoshou sneered. "Originally, I planned to keep to myself and not interfere with them, but since they are courting death, then don't blame me for being impolite."

As he spoke, a notification tone came from the terminal.

Looking at the phone number sent by the sender, Miku Yoshou's cold smile deepened.

Meanwhile, inside a car traveling on the highway.

Diluc Ebelvan, the student council president of Rewf Black Academy and one of the three members of the Golden Bough Alliance, is sitting in the luxurious interior of a car.

He swirled the red wine in his hand, but his attention wasn't on it; he was thinking about something else.

This operation was flawless.

He personally dispatched the Black Cat Agency to infiltrate the Quincy Children's Academy and kidnap Priscilla.

Subsequently, Priscilla was handed over to Varda, who used mental interference to successfully brainwash her.

Finally, find another excuse to lure Yomi Miku into the entertainment district.

Doing things in such a chaotic and disorderly place, no one would notice.

Once Miku Izayoi falls into the trap and comes before Varda, it can use its power to make Miku Izayoi its new body.

But for some reason, he always had a feeling of unease in his heart.

"Ding--!"

Just then, a communication request popped up on his terminal.

The number displayed above is an unfamiliar call.

After much hesitation, he finally decided to answer the call.

"Who are you?" Diluc asked warily. "Why do you have this number?"

There was no immediate response from the other side of the screen.

Only a woman's soft laughter could be heard.

Just as his sense of foreboding grew stronger, a familiar voice entered his ears.

Those were the last words he heard before he lost consciousness.

"Diluc Ebelvan".

Miku Izayoi's voice rang out, carrying an irresistible power.

"From now on, obey my commands."

Chapter Fifty-Five: Black-on-Black

Huanle Street, Xinhai District, Area C, No. 1105 Shengmao Hotel.

This is one of the most luxurious hotels in the entertainment district, offering international cuisine with top-notch service and ambiance.

It not only attracts tourists from other places on weekdays, but the private rooms on the top floor are also good locations for negotiations and discussions.

However, the restaurant, which should have been bustling with people at midday, was completely empty.

There was silence.

In the room on the top floor, Diluc remained motionless, strapped to a chair.

"Snapped!"

With a snap of his fingers, his heavy eyelids twitched.

As consciousness returned, he slowly opened his eyes.

In the dimly lit room, Diluc, his head throbbing, turned to look around, trying to figure out what was going on.

"Where...am I?"

His thoughts were in disarray, and there were obvious gaps in his memory, which made him feel uneasy.

He instinctively tried to move his hands and feet, only to be shocked to find that his entire body was bound to the chair with ropes and he couldn't move at all.

"Where we agreed to meet, wasn't it?"

A cold voice came from ahead.

Diluc looked up and saw a face that was both stunningly beautiful and utterly repulsive to him.

"Izayoi Miku..."

As the woman appeared before him, he finally understood what had happened.

His expression was gloomy, and his large, beady eyes were fixed on the woman not far away, as he tried his best to remain calm.

He is a member of the Golden Bough Alliance, the tyrant of Rewf Black Academy, and a fearsome king revered by all...

He was cunning, manipulating power, winning people's hearts, and cultivating his personal guards. Everything he did was to put on thick armor for himself, so that he, an ordinary person, could move freely in the world of the Star Pulse Generation.

However, no matter how prestigious the title, once all those high hats are removed, all that remains is just one identity.

An ordinary person who is powerless to even kill a chicken.

Looking at Miku Izayoi sitting across from him with a cold smile on her lips, his fingers clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.

Fear breeds within.

He didn't know why Miku Izayoi knew he was the mastermind behind Priscilla's kidnapping, nor why he hadn't escaped the brainwashing even through the screen, and he didn't know how much information Miku Izayoi now knew about the Golden Bough Alliance.

There was only one thing he knew.

He, who once roamed the dark world, has finally met his match today.

"Now that things have come to this point, I will no longer try to clumsily hide anything."

Diluc took a deep breath, trying to appear as calm as possible: "I will get rid of the people currently holding Priscilla hostage and bring her safely back to your side. I promise that nothing like this will ever happen again."

"You don't need to worry about that."

Miku Izayoi, with one hand supporting her left cheek and the other toying with the black necklace in her hand, said calmly, "Priscilla was already safe ten minutes ago."

Thirty minutes ago, Miku Izayoi obtained Diluc's phone number from the Knights' Women's Association.

Almost every prominent organization in the Pleasure District has some connection with this ruthless king, and the powerful Knights Women's Guild is no exception.

After obtaining the phone number, Miku Izayoi remotely controlled Diluc, turning him into her puppet.

Miku Izayoi's brainwashing ability can be described as abnormally powerful.

Not only will you be controlled after hearing her voice directly, but even if you are miles away, you will be brainwashed if you hear her voice indirectly through a mobile phone, television, recording, or any communication device.

There are only two conditions that can resist brainwashing.

First, possessing powerful energy within the body, whether it's spiritual energy, stellar energy, magical energy, or anything else, as long as the energy within the body is strong enough, it can resist the effects of brainwashing.

Secondly, in a physical sense, blocking the propagation of sound—such as puncturing one's eardrums, wearing noise-canceling headphones, or being in a vacuum-like environment—means one can remain unaffected by brainwashing as long as one cannot hear her voice.

Unfortunately, Diluc didn't meet any of the requirements.

After hearing Miku Izayoi's voice from the terminal while in the car, he became her puppet without any resistance.

Immediately afterwards, Miku Izayoi ordered him to distract Varda, who was lying in ambush at the hotel, in order to create an opportunity to rescue her.

Diluc was Varda's partner, and when she was called away, she left Priscilla's side without a shred of suspicion.

After Irene successfully rescued Priscilla, achieving her goal, Izayoi Miku had nothing left to worry about and appeared directly in front of Varda.

Then, unsurprisingly, it was defeated.

Varda's abilities are an absolute nemesis to the Star Pulse Generation.

Unfortunately, the same is true for Miku Izayoi.

If both sides are immune to each other's brainwashing, then all that's left is to compete in pure combat strength.

Although Miku Izayoi's combat power is not high, that is still compared to other elf girls.

Even though most of her abilities are support-oriented, her limited offensive skills still make her one of the most powerful fighters in this world.

Against a pure-type weapon with only mental interference capabilities, her combat power was more than sufficient.

"That is......"

Looking at the dull black necklace in Miku Izayoi's hand, Diluc's eyes revealed an undisguised look of astonishment.

How could a mere human defeat a Pure Blaze-style weapon that specializes in this area in terms of ability?

This is unbelievable!

The Star Pulse Generation are at most humans who possess a little bit of star power, while the Pure Radiance Armor with the All-Encompassing Crystal can wield far more star power than the Star Pulse Generation!

However, the Pure Blaze weapon that caused the terrorist attack that made the six major conglomerates wary is now feigning death in Miku Izayoi's hands, showing no signs of life.

In other words, even if Miku Izayoi didn't realize their trap, their plan to take over Miku Izayoi's body was doomed from the start.

The thought of this intensified Diluc's sense of frustration.

Where did this monster come from...?

"You win, Miku Izayoi."

After a long silence, Diluc said in a hoarse voice, "I can give you anything you want. I will also do everything in my power to get you what I don't have."

"I'll get what I want myself; you don't need to give it to me."

Despite Diluc's conditions, Miku Izayoi remained unmoved, her eyes filled with icy coldness.

"Get your place straight, you scum. You have no right to negotiate with me."

Chapter Fifty-Six: The Golden Bough - The Demise of the Alliance

Generally speaking, the person who would say such a line is Diluc.

But now, the situation has completely reversed, and he is the one being threatened.

Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the wicked will be punished by the wicked.
