Neurolink System in the Modern World

"This is madness! Why did you allow those monsters to come to Earth?" The man, with dark hair and a handsome face despite his aged look, spoke with frustration.

His attire and aura indicated he was not just an ordinary person; he even had elders backing him up.

"I've told you before, we need those monsters to eliminate the humans on Earth," Zelly replied firmly, though a hint of reservation lingered in her tone.

"Don't deceive us! With our power, we could achieve the same. It's because you're holding us back!" he roared in anger.

"How can humans even be compared to us? We are the most superior beings in the universe," he added, casting his gaze upon the other elders, attempting to sway them by appealing to their ego.

I couldn't help but stifle a laugh. How could someone claim the title of the most superior being in the universe in my presence?

While I dared not assert myself as the most superior being because of my humble nature, I settled for being the most powerful, handsome, intelligent, unrivaled, and benevolent being in the universe.

I realized that those titles might have seemed a bit modest to describe me, but as I mentioned, I preferred to maintain a humble demeanor unlike others.

"You don't know what you're talking about, Zod. The humans on Earth have grown far more powerful than before. If we rely solely on our limited numbers, we will just face extinction," Zelly retorted.

"How could you utter such embarrassing words? Are you suggesting that we can't even handle mere humans?" he protested, and the elders backing him all wore disappointed expressions after hearing Zelly's words.

I couldn't blame them for holding onto the belief that the Zol Clan still reigned supreme, given their confinement. But the reality was far different.

Power, technology, numbers, and unity—the humans had surpassed the Zol Clan in every aspect.

Especially after the appearance of those Alien Monsters, humans now had a common goal, which unified their efforts.

"Humans are now far stronger than us, and you all need to accept it!" Zelly sighed, finding it really difficult to reason with these impulsive buffoons.

"This is all your fault! You should provide us with a way to get out of this place!" Zod bellowed.

"I know you don't like me since I assumed this position, but mind your words. I'm still the clan leader!" Zelly warned, her eyes narrowing as the aura around her began to envelop her body.

She disliked his manner of speaking.

'I smell a civil war brewing here,' I chuckled to myself. It would be dull to just massacre everyone, but a civil war?

Now that would make things interesting.

Zod openly harbored animosity towards Zelly, but she refrained from making any bold moves.

It suggested either a lack of confidence in confronting him directly or acknowledgment of his substantial influence within the clan.

Engaging in a fight with him could potentially lead to division among the members, a risk Zelly was unwilling to take.

"I have a plan. Once those monsters weaken the human race, we will close the gate and then kill the survivors," she explained. She needed a valid reason to avoid further argument.

Despite Zod's persistent insistence on his ideas and argument , Zelly managed to provide compelling responses. Read exclusive content at empire

Even if she was just fabricating her explanations, her authority as the current clan leader ensured that her words still held more weight.

When the meeting concluded, Zelly quickly left, accompanied by the leaders who supported her, while Zod remained with his group.

They appeared to be intending to discuss the recent meeting further.

"What's your plan now?" Shao Mo asked through our telepathic link.

We maintained our mental connection, allowing us to converse without speaking aloud.

"Let's wait and see for now," I answered, though a plan was already forming in my head.

This would be the perfect time to execute that particular move.

But before focusing on that, I recalled another reason for my visit here.

I searched for Zayen, but she was nowhere to be found.

Her status must not be high enough for her to attend.

As for her useless son?

It was strange not to see him, considering he was rumored to be Zelly's devoted admirer, AKA a SIMP.

"What are you thinking of?" Shao Mi asked after noticing my silence.

"I was looking for my wife," I replied honestly.

However, it was a bad decision, as she instantly averted her gaze in frustration.

"So you're looking for new girl again to play around ?," she mumbled.

'What other girls? I said I'm looking for my wife, like the literal one, the legal one with all the marriage certificates and stuff,' I thought to myself, realizing that Shao Mi had completely misunderstood me.

In fact, Zayen should be the one frustrated right now, because if we're talking about it in human terms, my "side chick" would be Shao Mi, and not other way around.

If she really gets angry, it'll be like one of those TV dramas where the side chick acts more entitled than the legal wife—except in this case, I'm the one stuck in the middle.

Kidding aside, witnessing her jealousy like this was genuinely cute and adorable. The fact that we hadn't taken that step yet made our relationship feel even more authentic to me.

"Oh, they're finished," I remarked, my focus returning to Zod and the other elders.

I had overheard their conversation, but most of it wasn't particularly important—just people congratulating each other and boosting each other's egos.

Nothing really noteworthy.

"Let's follow him," I suggested to Shao Mi, but she did not react at all.

With a gentle tug, I took her hand and guided her along.

"Don't touch me!" she protested .

"There's a time and place for jealousy, you know," I teased, winking at her playfully.

"Why would I be jealous ? ," she replied , though I could sense her frustration.

It was evident that she lacked experience in love or any form of relationship, so this might be the first time she was experiencing these types of emotions.

Honestly, I feel like I'm with someone who was ignorant about the world despite having so much power.

Like those daughters of ultra-rich families who have never needed to ride public transportation or even knew it existed.
