Becoming an Emperor Starting from the World of The Wandering Earth

"Okay, it seems you're not quite sure either."

Seeing Betty's dazed look, Murphy shrugged and turned to look at Wilson.

"Do you know Wilson?"

"Of course, sir. Shall I demonstrate?"

"no problem."

With Murphy's approval, Wilson swiftly grabbed Betty from the ground, pressed her onto an iron chair, and secured her with the leather straps on it.

Then Wilson raised his hand, rolled up his sleeves twice, and then tore off a piece of oilcloth from the side of him.

Under the tarpaulin was a row of iron racks, on which various tools were neatly stacked.

Pliers, wrenches, hammer, saw, and a few other things that Betty couldn't name but knew exactly what they were used for.

Wilson stood in front of the iron frame for two seconds, picked up a saw and examined it, then walked back to Betty.

It was only then that Betty began to feel afraid.

"What...what do you want to do...?"

Wilson didn't say anything, but looked down at the saw in his hand and then at Betty.

Then he slowly moved the gleaming saw toward his neck.

The room was silent for a few seconds.

With a piercing scream, Betty's eyes rolled back and she fainted.

"What a useless piece of trash, all show and no substance."

Seeing Betty faint from fright, Murphy snorted disdainfully, then knelt down next to Linda.

"Ms. Wu, your boss has fainted. Would you like to try?"

Upon hearing this, Linda, who had been burying her head in the sand, twitched slightly, then slowly raised her head, looking at Murphy with a face full of terror.

"Please, please let me go, I... what do you want to do? I... I'll do anything."

It must be said that Linda is more mentally resilient than Betty. Even in the current situation, she did not lose her composure and instead spoke more fluently.

"I know everything about her."

Linda's voice was hoarse, but she spoke quickly, as if afraid that if she hesitated for even a second, she would miss her chance to speak. "I have a record of every illegal transaction she handled, every transfer of benefits, and all the people she was involved with. I can help you."

Murphy squatted down in front of her, his gaze lingering on her pale face for two seconds before he smiled brightly.

"Ms. Wu, you are very smart, but smart people sometimes make a mistake," Murphy's voice was calm, "that is, thinking that the secrets you know can save your life."

Linda's pupils contracted slightly.

"But you're right." Murphy stood up, brushing non-existent dust off his trousers. "Killing you wouldn't have made you any more useful."

He tilted his head toward Wilson.

Wilson understood, turned around, picked up a bucket of water from the bucket next to the tool rack, walked up to Betty, and poured it over her head.

"Cough, cough..."

Betty jolted awake, her whole body jolting. Water streamed down her disheveled hair, mixing with tears and drool on her face, making her look like a stray dog ​​just pulled out of a stinking ditch.

"woke up?"

Murphy walked up to her and looked down at her.

Betty looked up, opened her mouth as if to say something, but Murphy didn't give her a chance.

Murphy raised his right hand and gently tapped Betty's forehead with his index finger.

Then a flash of white light appeared, and Betty's eyes instantly went vacant.

Murphy then turned to Linda.

Under her terrified gaze, Linda's eyes also became empty.

However, Murphy also seemed to be feeling unwell after releasing the white light.

His breathing suddenly became heavy, and even his forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.

That's right, the white light just now was the mind suggestion technique he redeemed from the shop.

As mentioned before, this mind suggestion technique can plant an indelible instruction deep within the recipient's mind.

The downside is that if the other party has a strong will, they can become largely immune to the miraculous effect.

Moreover, after obtaining it, Murphy discovered another drawback.

That is, using mind suggestion will deplete one's mental energy.

It could be mental or physical exertion; in short, it's something indescribable.

Excessive consumption could even damage him.

If it weren't for the fact that Murphy regularly trains, those two beams of white light would probably have completely weakened him.

"Sigh, it's still just a white-level item."

Murphy took a deep breath, composed himself slightly, and then took out a fully sweetened Snickers bar from his pocket and popped it into his mouth.

After finishing the meal, he came to the two of them.

"From this moment on, you must remember one thing. I am your most trusted partner, your master to whom you shall be forever loyal, and the object of your worship."

"You will give everything for me, do everything you can, and you will never disobey any of my requests."

Murphy paused, his gaze sweeping over the two empty faces.

"Do you understand?"

"clear."

Betty and Linda spoke at the same time.

"very good!"

Murphy nodded and took a step back.

A few seconds later, Betty and Linda's eyes lit up again.

Betty blinked, looked down at herself, soaking wet, then looked up at Murphy standing in front of her, her expression shifting repeatedly.

It eventually turned into a kind of fanaticism, or rather, piety.

"Mr. Murphy, no, Master, I'm so sorry, I spoke to you like that just now, I'm so sorry..."

As Betty and Linda spoke, the surprise attack began to struggle violently.

Seeing this, Murphy nodded to Wilson, who immediately untied them from their restraints.

As soon as the restraints were removed, the two knelt down on the ground and kowtowed forcefully.

In fact, mind control isn't that exaggerated, but the two of them couldn't help but lose their composure under Murphy and Wilson's combination of threats and intimidation.

With the addition of mind control techniques, they were instantly transformed into Murphy's loyal followers.

This is a combination of Stockholm syndrome, convert fanaticism, and self-brainwashing.

"So it's taken my shape now?"

Murphy's eyes darted around, then he reached out and touched the two men's chins.

In an instant, the two of them showed expressions of infatuation.

"It's very good that you understand your previous mistakes. Get up."

"Thank you, Master. You are so great, so kind."

The two helped each other to their feet, exchanged a glance, and seemed inclined to kneel down again.

Fortunately, Murphy stopped him in time.

Although he was very satisfied with how Betty and Linda looked now.

The problem is that Murphy wants loyal dogs, not two bootlickers.

If they keep kowtowing, it really will never end.

"Alright, respect is something you should keep in mind, but you mustn't act like that in front of outsiders in the future."

"Yes, Master. Is there anything else you wish to tell me?"

"No, but I hope that when you get back you can submit a proposal to see if you can raise the electricity price in Houston a little."

"No problem, Master, I'll arrange it right away."

"Okay, let's go back!"
