Neurolink System in the Modern World

And who could blame him? He\'d been busting his butt overseas, working hard, only to come back home to find his own wife cheating in his own house, in a big mansion that he gave her. There\'s a limit to what a man can take, and this was definitely beyond that.

"Hey, let\'s all calm down. I know this looks bad, but I can explain myself," I said, raising my hands as if to emphasize my innocence.

[Suggestion: Rejected]

"As expected," I clicked my tongue in annoyance. "Rare, my ass," I added.

There\'s no way he could have blocked my suggestion with luck alone. It only means now that he was also in possession of the Moon Gem.

"Get him!" he ordered his guards, who seemed more like mercenaries than your typical bodyguards. I could feel that these people had probably seen their fair share of action, just by looking into their eyes.

After hearing his command, they sprang into action, attempting to catch me.

I could have ended this fiasco with a thought, but considering I\'ve been feeling a bit stiff lately, I figured this was the perfect workout. Why let my mind do all the heavy lifting when my body could use some stretching?

Two people moved swiftly, surrounding me. They each grabbed one of my shoulders and tried to pull Myeong Tia away, but she didn\'t budge because I had a tight hold on her waist.

"What the hell do you think you\'re doing, touching my woman?" I spoke with a cold protective voice. In reality, I was just trying to think of more ways to kill my boredom.

They all looked confused, seeing that I wasn\'t even remotely afraid of them. Meanwhile, Myeon Tia\'s husband was fuming with anger after hearing me refer to his wife as "my woman."

"What are you waiting for? Grab him and take her away!" he added with a frustrated look. If looks could kill, I would have died multiple times over with the intensity of his gaze.

"Hey, let go of the boss\'s wife," one of the guards who was currently holding my shoulders warned.

"Make me," I taunted, a smirk playing on my lips.

"You asked for this," the guard spoke up, raising his fist to punch my face head-on. The speed at which he swung his fist was impressive for human standards, but for me, it felt like everything was playing in slow motion. I didn\'t even attempt to dodge and just let him punch me.

PUNCH!

His fist landed on my right cheek.

However, instead of the expected thud or cry of pain, I stood there as if nothing had happened.

He might have thought he was strong, but to me, it felt more like being nibbled by an overly enthusiastic mosquito. That was the unfairness of this world. Even without my Mind Power, I was still far superior to other humans.

Seeing that I didn\'t even flinch, he thought he must have held back, so he raised his fist again and began beating me.

PUNCH!

PUNCH!

PUNCH!

PUNCH!

PUNCH!

A barrage of punches landed squarely on my handsome face. I just let him continue, waiting for him to realize the futility of his efforts.

He could have worn metal gloves, and it would only have increased the damage by a negligible amount. It was like trying to dent a brick wall with bare fists.

"Are you done?" I asked with a bored expression. Fighting humans was just so dull; the outcome was always the same – me overwhelmingly winning.

"Y— You\'re a gifted !" Myeon Tia\'s husband stuttered finally realizing that he was currently dealing with someone beyond normal.

But instead of feeling proud of myself, I started thinking that being labeled as "gifted" felt lacking. While it was true that I had powers like them, my potential was limitless. In the future, people should call me Super Gifted or something.

"You just realized that after watching your bodyguard, who seems to have more muscle than brain, fail to hurt me after punching me a dozen times?" I asked with a disappointed look. It was a major detail, but he was just too slow to catch on.

"You…." He felt insulted by my words, but this time he became wary. Dealing with a regular lover and someone with powers were two completely different levels.

"Alright, time to stretch," I chuckled as I stood up and started stretching my body from my feet to my neck, as if I was preparing for a workout. Well, in a way, they could call it that – I just substituted humans for weights, but the idea was there; Staying fit through sweating.

The moment I finished my stretching , everyone became more vigilant, with some even drawing their weapons and pointing them at me. It seemed like this wasn\'t their first encounter with a gifted, given how organized and prepared they were.

Either that or, aside from Myeon Tia\'s husband, they had no idea what gifted individuals were capable of doing.

Looking around the room, I could see that five people had brought out baton sticks, each with buttons on them. These must be those devices designed to ground people using electric currents.

"Who\'s coming first?" I raised my palm and gave them a "Come on" gesture, taunting them to initiate . It would be boring if I made the first move, so I graciously gave them the honor .

*SWOOOSH!

The first, let\'s say, employee of the month was the guard who had taken a field trip punching my face earlier. He must be quite the idiot. Even if that punches felt nothing to me, I\'m a very petty and vengeful person. So, him attacking first was akin to signing his own death sentence much earlier.

The moment he reached my range, he raised his baton, and electric current started flowing through it as it descended towards me, aiming to hit my head.

"I\'ll show you what a real punch is," I chuckled to myself as I griped my right hand into a fist.
