The Mystic Dominator

The importance of leading the dialogue

　　"Crazy?"

　　"Come on ......"

　　At the sound of Ronald's voice, Thomson, who was at the forefront, was the first to deny it.

　　But when he turned around, he found his two companions, Ronald and Nessus stalled together in the living room on the ground floor.

　　The two of them were stationed at the same place, and looked as if they had absolutely no intention of continuing to flee out of the room.

　　"......"

　　"You two ......"

　　Thomson was only about to open his mouth when Ronald from across the room stopped him.

　　"You keep your voice down. That guy upstairs didn't come down after us."

　　"It's safe now."

　　"Pay attention."

　　Listen ...... pay attention to what?

　　Confusion surfaced from his face.

　　But soon, the confusion in Thomson's eyes evolved into shock.

　　Because after he listened to Ronald's advice, a voice if anything actually did appear in his ears until it finally turned into a clear male voice:

　　"Stay ......"

　　"Three guests, please listen to my little request if you can."

　　"The last expectations of a dying man."

　　Someone was talking inside his own head!

　　Thump-

　　After taking three consecutive steps back until his body was pressed against the end of the porch and his spine could feel even the shape of the doorknob, Thomson shuddered and snapped:

　　"Are you ...... you a human or a ghost?"

　　"I told you to be quiet!"

　　This time, even the best-tempered could not let Thomson continue to intervene.

　　Interrupting the businessman with a chortle, Ronald dryly grabbed the right to speak:

　　"Introduce yourself before stating your request."

　　"After all, your wife and daughter, are waiting for you up there!"

　　"This unknown gentleman."

　　"......"

　　As soon as Ronald opened his mouth, the air instantly returned to calm.

　　Apart from Nessus constantly looking around as if he was searching for something, no more movement appeared.

　　A few breaths of time passed-

　　It wasn't until Ronald was somewhat sceptical that the other party could hear his request that the man's voice reappeared.

　　"Sir, I mean you three no harm."

　　"I don't care if you have good or bad intentions, even if you intend to break open our skulls and suck the brain marrow, now immediately explain where you came from!"

　　Unprecedentedly strong, Ronald's tone left no room for error at all.

　　He knew one thing very well -

　　At a time like this, the dominance of the dialogue must be grasped in one's own hands, and not a single gap must be handed over to the other party.

　　Taking advantage of this guy's absolute vulnerability of taking the initiative to open his mouth and make a request, and forcing him into his own rhythm, was the best means of guiding the content of the dialogue.

　　It was also the only way to make the most of the situation the three of them were in right now.

　　Just as Ronald had thought, the man did open his mouth to respond:

　　"Corette Noble."

　　"That's my name."

　　"Good, Mr Corrett."

　　Almost as soon as the words were out of his mouth, Ronald's steady voice rang out again:

　　"You may speak yourself out of your request."

　　"......"

　　"I want you to save my daughter."

　　"As you saw earlier on the first floor, her mother has been completely transformed into a monster controlled by power, and is not at all the beloved wife I used to be."

　　"As a father, this is all I have to ask."

　　"Please save my daughter."

　　"......"

　　Ronald didn't show anything on the surface, but in his heart, he had already made a judgement.

　　--Too suspicious.

　　A narrative that didn't seem problematic at first glance actually didn't stand up to scrutiny at all.

　　But at a time like this, there was no time to dwell on this.

　　Sighing in his heart, Ronald continued to speak:

　　"Then as payment, tell us the way to leave the black fog."

　　The man's voice immediately turned surprised:

　　"How do you know ......?"

　　"Of course I know! Since you were able to spot us on the first floor, you can naturally detect the black fog outside as well."

　　"Even the acquisition of these abilities of yours should have nothing to do with it!"

　　"Otherwise there's no reason for this black fog to start slowing down after approaching here."

　　"Of course, I'm not going to ask you anything else."

　　"Just simply tell us the method to get out of the black fog, it's good for both of us."

　　"......"

　　Wasn't the aggressiveness of those words too strong?

　　Hearing Ronald's further pressing, not only Nessus, but even Thomson on the other side of the porch couldn't help but have this thought.

　　Just in case ......

　　No, I should say that the other party would definitely be displeased by this.

　　The current situation was one where they were in a desperate situation, and this man's voice that appeared could almost be considered the last straw.

　　This dialogue was too risky!

　　But the facts speak for themselves-

　　Ronald was in complete control of the dialogue.

　　Under such strong verbal compulsion, the other party did not choose to break off in annoyance.

　　After only hesitating for less than half a minute, the man's voice sounded again.

　　"Alright. I can tell you the way to get out of the black mist, but you must take my daughter away."

　　"Go ahead." Ronald nodded.

　　With that, the man began to recount everything that had happened on Black Mountain:

　　"Just as you guessed, our family's abilities all came from a magic guide book, and even the black fog outside right now is due to the book going out of control."

　　"Both me, and my wife."

　　"All of them are gradually falling into the magic mirror because of the power of the magic guide book, only my which poor daughter still has a chance of survival."

　　"As for the current situation, because the magic guide book is in my hands, it can be guaranteed that that wife of mine can't break into the living room, and around that, as long as you guys can rescue my daughter from the first floor and leave this mansion."

　　"I will immediately destroy the magic guide book."

　　"In doing so, I will die along with my wife along with the collapse of the magic guide book."

　　"You can also leave Black Mountain safely and be saved along with my daughter."

　　"How?"

　　"......"

　　Ronald grimaced, barely able to hold back his curses.

　　Not to mention sincerity, the holes in this guy's words were simply denser than a watered down showerhead, and there were irreparable logical holes everywhere.

　　What kind of person could be so hard-headed as to say such retarded words?

　　However, just as Ronald was frowning and thinking about how to keep the dialogue going.

　　Thomson on the other side of the porch suddenly spoke.

　　Because of the distance, even Nessus didn't have time to stop him this time!

　　"Mr Corrett, you should always tell us how to save your daughter."

　　"The power of that wife of yours is not something that the three of us ordinary people can deal with."

　　"Swear by the great name of the Creator, we will fulfil our promise if we can escape."

　　"......"

　　The air in the living room instantly returned to calm.

　　Something like ten seconds passed before the man's voice spoke:

　　"Yes, sir."

　　"This matter is actually very simple."

　　"My daughter is currently nailed to the floor of the first floor, and she can be rescued down by finding the counterpart on the ground floor and removing the already damaged floor."

　　"There's a ladder in the utility room by the garden and no shortage of tools."

　　"You can do it, can't you?"

　　"......"

　　"Of course." Under the almost frozen gaze of Ronald and Nessus, Thomson nodded without hesitation, "We can do it."

　　In a few words, the dominance Ronald had established earlier was gone.

　　Things were in trouble -
