Chapter 178: Change 24
Y-you?! Why are you here? No, how can you enter this room?! Dario shouted at Naomi as he pointed his index finger towards her.
How? Asked Naomi. Through the door, obviously. Naomi waved her right hand, dismissing Darios question as if he was a fool.
Romanni was frozen in place, or it looked like he was frozen in place. In fact, his hand was moving slowly towards his suit. Hidden underneath his suit was a tranquilizer gun, strong enough to make an elephant fall unconscious with one shot.
The gun was shaped like a normal pistol, but it shoot a dart instead of a bullet. Not only that, the dart was special. It contained his blood, a medium for him to control other people.
This is bad. I have no one here, and that guy is useless when facing directly with her. Thought Romanni. I need to stall for time. The PD in this buildings will storm this office as soon as they realize something is off.
However, Melaine noticed his movement. She smirked at Romanni and said, Useless. I have stopped everyones time except for us. No one will come to save you.
Tsk! Romanni clicked his tongue. He never thought that his plan would be seen easily.
I have no choice. Romanni looked at Dario and then extended his right hand towards him.
As Naomi didnt know what Romanni planned to do, she stopped his hand using her Telekinesis and forcefully keep Mr. Romanni in the air.
Arrghh!! Let me down!
Romanni was screaming in pain. His hands were spread to the limit, his legs were kept straight. Naomi left his head alone so he could move a little, but he wouldnt be able to move his body even a little without Naomis permission.
Shut up, will you? Said Naomi with a cold tone as she rested her head on her hand.
Dario was a normal person, he was only appointed as a director because of his brain and connection. That was why he was terrified. He had no weapons to protect himself, he could only collapse on his knees in front of Naomi.
H-H-Help! P-please, spare my life! He was begging for his life, tears came out of his eyes.
Unsightly. Said Naomi. How can a person like you become a leader, a director of the Esper Association? Sometimes I wonder, are they lacking a capable individuals?
She looked down at Dario with narrowed eyes.
I-I Dario was about to say something, but Naomi didnt want to hear it. She used his Telekinesis to shut his mouth, preventing him from saying anything.
She didnt have enmity with Dario, her target was Romanni.
Let me down, you bastard! He was shouting with all his might. Although he looked like he had no chance to fight Naomi, there was still his tranquilized that served as his trump card.
So he was able to calm himself slightly, One shoot. If I can hit her with my gun, its my win. I will be able to stand on top of this world!
He was planning to control Naomi, to brainwash her and made her do his bidding.
Unfortunately, though, Melaine had made her move. She stopped time when no one noticed and strips all kinds of weapons and dangerous things on Dario and Romannis bodies.
She found the tranquilizer gun on Romannis body, as well as a strange white powder in a plastic. She took all of them and put them on the desk in front of Naomi.
From the perspective of Romanni and Dario, Melaine didnt move even a little. However, she had already made sure that the area was clear, and she had a conversation with Naomi inside the stopped time.
Lady Naomi, here. Said Melaine as she pointed at the tranquilizer gun. I believe he used this to kidnap girls and use his ability. His blood is the medium, so I guessed that he mixed his blood in the tranquilized that was smeared to the dart.
Naomi took the tranquilizer gun and examined it. As Melaine said, there was a residue of the Esper pressure similar to Romanni on the dart inside the tranquilizer gun.
She narrowed her eyes, anger began to rouse inside her again. But, she was able to keep her calm this time. She knew that being angry at the man would change nothing. Instead, she would try to fish information from him.
If he didnt answer the question, Naomi was prepared to torture him. She would show no mercy towards someone that controls the other.
Melaine, let him move.
Melaine then canceled the time stop in the room. Dario and Romanni now were able to move.
Because the gun was big enough to be felt under his suit, Romanni was surprised that he couldnt feel the gun right now. He then looked at Naomi and saw the gun in Naomis hand.
A-aa. With his trump card disabled, he was now in despair. S-spare me.
Dario was looking at Naomi with terror on his face, he crawled back and took shelter on the corner of the room, trembling in fear.
Fear not, Director. I will not kill you. Naomi said, facing Dario.
Darios face brightened, his mouth opened and closed repeatedly, until he finally spoke, T-thank you!
Naomi smiled at Dario, with a cold voice, she said. Because I need a witness to warn the Esper Association about what happened tonight.
Romanni then felt cold, sweat began to pour out from all over his body. He was desperate, he wanted to live. Then he noticed that he still couldnt move his body.
P-Please, I-I will give you anything! I-I will help you with my power, so please spare me!
Naomi and Melaine looked at Romanni with a cold gaze. They ignored him. Naomi just smiled at Mr. Romanni, she then said.
I want information.
Mr. Romanni got a glimpse of hope after he heard Naomi.
I-I can provide you information! I will tell you anything.
I see, thats good. You are willing to cooperate.
Romanni nodded his head. Yes, I will tell you everything! Just spare my life!
Naomi nodded her head. She then looked at Melaine.
Slow down his perception of time. Im sick with this scum.
Yes, Lady Naomi. Answered Melaine.
Romanni was afraid, he moved his head desperately and shouted.
W-what are you going to do? I said I will give you all information that you need!
Naomi tossed the gun in her hand to the sky and crushed it with her Telekinesis, turning the gun into a metal ball that was as big as a thumb.
No need, I have all information that I need. Now, I just wanted to take it slow and torture you. Just think of it as your punishment.
N-no no no no no! Romanni shouted with all his might.
Do it, Melaine. Ordered Naomi.
No!! SPARE MEE!! That was the last comprehensible words that came from Romanni before Melaine slowed his time to the limit, to the point he was still able to feel but wasnt able to move.
