"You said you'll solve this WITHOUT bloodshed!" The desk worker yelled
"These guys are irrelevant. It's the Mayor's son who isn't. I made sure not to beat him up like I did the others." Kai responded
"Sigh! Fine, you're right. I'll take these nine into custody while you handle the meeting with the Mayor."
Kai had told the man that he could get the Mayor to punish his son. At first, he didn't believe Kai, so Kai hypnotized him to make things easier.
"Let's go, time to meet your father."
---
"Do you think we'll get in trouble?" Gwen asked as they approached the Mayor's mansion with his son in 'custody'.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Kai reassured her.
At the gate, two guards stood at attention, spears planted on the ground, and when they saw Kai and Gwen approaching, they crossed spears, forming an X to block the entrance.
"Halt! State your purpose for coming here." A guard demanded.
"Help!" The mayor's son shouted.
One of the guards had to do a double-take, extending his neck forward while squinting his eyes. "I-Is that..."
"The Mayor's son!" The other guard finished. "I don't know why you have him, but if you don't want to rot in a cell for the rest of your life, I suggest you hand him over."
"Heh, look at them, trying to be intimidating, so cute," Kai said as he nudged Gwen's arm.
"Look, we're here on a request from the Adventurers' guild. Here's our quest paper."
The guard took the paper and read through it.
"Are you serious?" He asked. "There is a reason why no one has accepted or completed this quest. He's the Mayor's son. Do you really want to get on the bad side of the Mayor? Just walk away and go take another quest."
"Listen here, you little failures," Gwen slammed her staff onto the ground, and two fireballs hovered in front of the guards' faces. "You can deny us entry where you'll end up dying, or, you can do your fucking jobs and let us in so we can speak to the Mayor!"
The two gulped, looked at each other, then opened the gate.
"That's what I fucking thought."
Kai was impressed. He didn't know she was about that life.
'Saving her was definitely the right option. Can't wait to fill her up!'
The guards let them inside the house, then alerted the head butler about the reason why they were there.
Understanding the predicament, the butler went to get the Mayor and his wife.
"Lucy! My baby boy, did they hurt you?!" A woman asked as she ran toward the Mayor's son.
"Pfft! Lucy? That's your name?" Kai asked
"Lucian! My son! Who are the bastards that did this to you?!" The Mayor asked, anger riddled on his face.
"Ahh, that makes more sense."
The Mayor and his wife turned to Kai and Gwen, their anger apparent.
"Who the fuck do you think you are? Hurting my son like this! I shall have you both arrested!"
Kai didn't entertain his bluff, if it was even one, and sat down on one of the luxurious couches.
"Listen. Your son was engaging in criminal activities. So much so that a formal request was petitioned in the Adventurer's guild. We completed the quest, turned in his friends, and decided to hand him over to you so you can punish him."
The mayor scoffed. "Do you think I don't know this? This is my town, and I can do whatever I want! I will not punish my son as he did nothing wrong! Now get out while I'm being nice, or I'll have you and your entire family suffer the consequences!"
'This guy is pissing me off. Should I just hypnotize him? No, wait, I could fuck his wife in front of him, break his mind and have him become my underling. Meh, I don't even feel like doing that.'
"Listen, Mr. Mayor, your son did horrible things, and even though you don't care, the people do, and if they decide to take action against you, then your family will suffer the consequences."
'Nice going, Gwen!' Kai cheered her on from his mind.
The Mayor gave her a nasty look, pointing his finger in her face. "Do you think I'm scared of some peasants? I'm the Maoyr, my brother is the Noble of this land! I'm untouchable!"
"That is until your son pisses of the wrong person and they get revenge by not only killing him, but maybe your wife as well. Hell, they might ransack your home and strip you of your wealth. Don't underestimate the power of people being oppressed, that never ends well for people in power." Kai chimed in.
The Mayor and his wife looked at each other, then at their scared son. They turned toward Kai and Gwen, then nodded their heads.
"Fine, we'll see to it that things are handled properly; however, if this happens again, you hurt my son, I won't rest until you suffer the consequences."
"Hah, yeah sure." Kai hypnotized the three of them. He made it so that the Mayor would take responsibility for his son's actions and be a better role model, his wife would educate his son properly, and Lucian would reflect on his actions and strive to be a better person and eventual Mayor when the time comes.
'This is that good type of hypnosis.' Kai also put his normal hypnosis on them as he might want to fuck the wife one day.
As they left, Gwen slapped Kai on the arm, looking at him with pure shock on her face.
"What the hell was that?" She asked, baffled by the Mayor simply agreeing to Kai's demands.
"What?" He asked, genuinely confused.
"You just told him what to do, and he agreed, all of them did. It...It's like you hypnotized them!"
"Why are you...Ohhhhhh! Hahaha, I forgot." Kai laughed
"Forgot what?" She wondered.
He snapped his fingers and placed Gwen under his hypnosis as well.
'Much better.'
