BXBX NOVEL Chapter 126: Tight Spot
Initially, I had regarded them as just another gang, but what happened to them raised suspicions. I felt relieved that I was away from when the chaos started; the rain bullets alone could have ended my life.
Then the idea of building my own army for protection crossed my mind. Relying solely on my abilities might not be sustainable in the long run. While I had the potential to become extraordinarily powerful, having a network of people to watch my back seemed like a wise strategy for now.
I decided to explore ways to leverage my abilities for such a purpose in the future.
"We have an emergency!" A police officer\'s urgent voice snapped me out of my contemplation.
"What happened?" Ayumi\'s sister rushed over to assist her colleague, her face filled with concern. Other police officers quickly followed, trying to make sense of the situation that was unfolding.
"The witness, Mr. Ban, suddenly collapsed to the ground and started vomiting blood," he reported, his uniform stained with the gruesome evidence of the emergency. exclusive-to-MvLeMpYr
\'Mr. Ban?\' I was taken aback by the mention of that name, recalling that it was Yong\'s fiance\'s name.
\'What on earth is going on here?\' I clicked my tongue in frustration. This situation was becoming much more complicated than I had anticipated.
This was supposed to be just a simple mission, but why did he have to vomit blood out of nowhere? Now, things were becoming more complicated, and Yong might even become a prime suspect.
"Yumi!" Suddenly, another woman\'s voice pierced through the commotion.
I turned around to behold a beautiful woman with short, jet-black hair and piercing dark eyes. Standing at around 5\'6" in height, she wore a sleek black coat, giving her an air of mystery that could easily be mistaken for cosplay due to her remarkably smooth complexion.
"Kanon? What are you doing here?" Yumi asked, rushing toward her. However, the woman named Kanon signaled for her to stop.
They began conversing with a gap between them, but I couldn\'t hear their conversation over the commotion. I could only discern that this Kanon girl said something that caused a change in Ayumi\'s sister expression.
Subsequently, she began to survey the surroundings, her eyes searching intently for someone or something.
Her eyes finally landed on me, I broke a cold swear, thinking that I\'m being suspected . Thankfully it shifted to others.
\'Hey, I know I have a system, but I can\'t really make people vomit blood? Or can I?\' I hadn\'t tried something like that before, but maybe it was worth experimenting with in the future.
"No one is allowed to leave this place!" The woman named Kanon announced. Suddenly, armed individuals bearing the logo of the Korean Special Forces entered the area.
\'This guys again?\' I muttered in annoyance. This situation was becoming more troublesome by the minute.
Do the Korean Special Forces have so much free time that they just appear out of thin air?
"Mind Eye," I whispered to myself, activating my skill to learn more about this mysterious woman.

I was shocked by her stats. Her intelligence stat was off the charts, and the fact that she also had mind powers was even more surprising. I had thought I was the only person with this attribute, but it seemed that might not be the case.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" She suddenly turned around, her gaze locking onto me as if she had sensed that I was observing her. But, after seeing me, she didn\'t speak immediately, and it seemed like she was also shocked to see me too.
"You…." she said, walking towards me. "You were there in that incident in Namdaemun Market, right?" She asked.
"I don\'t remember," I feigned ignorance.
[Suggestion: Failed]
[-2% chance]
\'I know it, someone with that much intelligence is bound to have some tolerance against my power, \'I sighed, realizing that this was a bad match up for me.
"I\'m have a good memory, I saw you there," she insisted. Her certainty about having seen me in the market was quite strong.
"Give me your ID ," she raised her hands and ask .
I found myself in a tight spot. Using my fake ID could make me look suspicious, but my real ID wasn\'t updated. She might think I\'m using a fake ID either way because of how fat I am in the picture.
[Suggestion : Level 16 —> Level 18 ] [44%]
I increased my suggestion, hoping that it would improve my chances.
"I left my ID in my car because I was in a hurry to get here," I explained.
[Suggestion: Success ]
\'Yes, it worked !\'
She looked at me skeptically for a moment but then seemed to accept my explanation.
"Alright, but I\'ll need to verify your identity later," she said.
I nodded in agreement, relieved that she didn\'t press the issue further.
She turned around and began conversing with the Korean Special Forces, issuing orders confidently. I didn\'t know who she was, but it was evident she wielded significant authority despite her young age.
The problem now, was how I could escape this situation. There were still numerous people around, and my plan was to avoid encountering her. Instead, I should utilize my suggestion on others to find a way out of here.
*THUD!
The sound of someone collapsing on the hard floor echoed through the room, catching everyone\'s attention.
