Chapter 536: In Charge Part 2
"Now, let's get down to business," I declared, leaning forward .
"By the way, feel free to share your thoughts," I added casually, trying to ease the tension that hung thick in the air.
My tone, however, remained commanding, reminding them of my authority.
"Don't you need to know our names first?" Tony asked.
"No need," I interrupted, my eyes glowing faintly as I spoke. "I already know everything about you."
"You... accessed our minds?" Diana, the woman with the golden sword, asked cautiously, her voice tinged with concern.
"Yes," I answered.
"You invaded our privacy!" she accused sharply, her voice filled with frustration.
"It's not really an invasion when I own everything," I countered confidently. "Or did you forget that I own everyone, even you?" I asked, sizing her up without hiding the fact that I wanted to taste her.
She was attractive, and it would be a waste not to indulge on her body later. I always admired strong-willed women who played hard to get.
"You…" She was speechless, clearly aware that I was fantasizing about fucking her later.
"Diana, stop," Tony spoke up. "We all agreed to his terms," he reminded everyone, who looked at me with disdain.
"But he's treating me like an object!" she protested.
"The terms and conditions specified that he owns us, or are you telling me that you're strong enough to stop him if he really forces himself on you?" Tony asked.
"I…" She was speechless, realizing just how messed up this whole scenario was.
A smile formed on my lips as I nodded in satisfaction.
Tony was the real deal — he knew his place and was exceptionally logical.
Perhaps it was because his consciousness was made of codes that he could accept being subservient so easily.
"How should we address you?" Tony shifted the conversation, which was a nice moved.
"Lord Zyden would do," I replied, as if adding "Lord" was me doing everyone a favor by keeping it casual and humble.
"What are your intentions for Earth, Lord Zyden?"
I smirked, enjoying the feeling of my newfound authority.
"Simple. I will reshape this world into a perfect place under my rule. Governments will dissolve, and humanity will thrive under my guidance"

"You speak as if this is a benevolent act," Diana interjected, her voice cutting through the room with skepticism.
"It is," I shook my head. "I offer evolution, protection, and a chance for humanity to transcend its limitations. What more could you ask for?"
She still looked at me with an unfavorable gaze, no matter how much the odds were stacked against her.
Unlike the men, who had already accepted their fates.
"What about the alien beasts threatening our world? Can your magic protect us from them?" Tony asked quickly seeing that it was useless to try to convinced her to behaved.
"Of course," I replied confidently. "My magic can not only protect Earth but also eradicate any threat ."
Tony nodded thoughtfully. "What about the rest of humanity? How will you convince them to accept your rule? America is just one country,"
"Fear is a powerful motivators. They've already begun to worship me after I showed them my power. It won't be long before they see the benefits of my leadership."
Silence followed my words, the United Power members digesting the implications of my vision.
They knew they had little choice but to align themselves with me, for the good of humanity—or so I claimed.
"Now," I continued, a hint of excitement in my voice, "let's discuss the specifics of how we will implement this new world order."
As the meeting progressed, I outlined my plans with meticulous detail, each member reluctantly contributing their thoughts under my watchful eye.
The room gradually relaxed, the initial tension giving way to a sense of forced cooperation.
However, when I began dividing the territory, they were all shocked to see that all the names where women.
"Are this people from your world?" Tony asked.
I looked at him and shook my head, "No, all of them are humans. I've been here for some quite time now to observed Earth and had some memorable interactions with them, so now I plan to make them Governors of each country.
"Are they powerful Gifteds?" he asked.
"Not at all, most of them are just humans. See this woman, I met her when buying a car. This one, I met her while observing Japan and entered one of those so-called maid cafes. And her, well, she was a high school student when I met her, but she was already 18 that time," I explained.
Everyone was giving me weird looks as if I'm crazy or something.
"This won't do. Even if you're planning to replace everyone, you need to choose someone capable of leading a country," Dianna spoke up.
"They're just puppet leaders anyway. I could put a dog there, and it wouldn't really matter," I replied, shaking my head.
"This is outrageous! You're treating everything like a game!" she lashed out.
I paused for a moment after seeing her stand, her outburst had kicked some sense into me.
"Of course, how could I forget," I sighed, showing everyone that I had reflected on my mistake.
"Good, at least you're willing to listen," she sighed and sat down.
"I'll give you Washington DC in advance because you will be my woman later," I injected.
"Fuck you!" She exploded in anger, her energy spiking. But before she could even stand up, her body froze completely.
"Listen here, I've been taking it easy on you because I like your face and body, but don't overstep or I will rip you apart," I warned, my tone cold.
This was the first time they had seen me this angry, and even those unaffected by my power felt like running away.
Of course, it was all just an act on my part.
"Who are you?" I asked .
"D— Diana," she replied, her breath ragged and heavy under the pressure.
"Say my name" I ordered .
"Y— You're Lord Zyden,"
"And what are you to me ?" I asked, lifting her from her seat with my invisible hands.
"You're my owner," she gasped for air.
