Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

As the heir to the Federation Clan, Richard is well-acquainted with such matters.

However, previously, those he dealt with were all direct relatives of his own clan.

Most of those people were loyal and would not pose a significant threat to him.

But the Alba Clan was different; everyone here had their own agenda.

They seemed respectful but were, in fact, watching like hawks, ready to strike at any moment.

Richard knew that to find his footing here, he must be cautious with every step and not be careless in the slightest.

Otherwise, falling into those people’s traps would lead to unimaginable consequences.

This feeling of walking on thin ice made Richard feel a mix of tension and excitement.

He liked this challenging game, enjoyed the atmosphere of hidden currents.

Only by these means could he truly showcase his talents, and slowly ascend to the peak in this calculated world.

"Come on, let me see who dares to fight against me."

Richard’s lips curled into a confident smile, and his eyes grew sharp and keen.

"I will let you know what real wisdom and tactics are."

With that, he picked up the phone and began to deploy his plan.

Soon, one by one, the pieces began to move on the power map of the Alba Clan under his control.

Those enemies secretly watching still had no idea that a terrifying opponent had quietly arrived.

On the other side, Alina was standing on the terrace of the manor, gazing at the distant scenery.

The rising sun cast a golden glow over her porcelain skin.

A gentle breeze lifted her long hair, like a dark silk floating in the air.

She stood there quietly, like an exquisite sculpture, perfect and captivating.

Yet no one knew how cold and proud was the heart beneath this perfect exterior.

As a Vampire Princess, Alina never considered humans worth her regard.

In her view, they were nothing more than her prey, those humble blood slaves.

The only reason she followed Zhang Beixing was the unique aura emanating from the man.

That kingly demeanor of overlooking the world, and that profound, unfathomable strength, piqued her curiosity.

She wanted to see how far this man could go, what great achievements he could accomplish.

"Perhaps by following him, I can witness some interesting things."

Alina muttered to herself.

"After all, I’m getting bored with those tedious audiences and banquets."

"However..."

Thinking of this, Alina’s gaze suddenly turned sharp and fierce.

"He better not disappoint me, not let down my expectations."

"Otherwise..."

Alina smiled, her smile as enchanting and dangerous as a flower blooming in the night.

"I will show him the consequences of offending a Vampire Princess!"

Suddenly, the air was filled with a chilling aura.

It felt as though a savage beast was secretly watching, ready at any moment to pounce and tear at its prey’s throat.

Zhang Beixing was unaware that he was being watched by two completely different pairs of eyes.

At this moment, he was still fully absorbed in cultivation.

It had been three days since he started cultivating the Pupil Control Technique.

During these three days, Zhang Beixing had not closed his eyes or eaten a single meal.

He was like a statue, sitting there motionless, letting time pass.

The only change was that his eyes seemed to grow deeper and sharper.

In the depth of those dark pupils, there seemed to be endless mysteries and power, making it daunting to look directly at them.

"No, it’s still not enough!"

Zhang Beixing suddenly furrowed his brow and murmured.

"I still cannot fully control the power in my blood. Every time I think I’m about to succeed, it slips out of my control."

"This power is too strong..."

Zhang Beixing murmured, a hint of frustration in his tone.

As a proud and strong individual, he never thought he would encounter such a huge obstacle in cultivation.

This feeling was really uncomfortable.

Just as Zhang Beixing fell into despair, the system’s voice sounded once again in his mind.

[Host, do not be discouraged.]

The system comforted him, its tone gentle and encouraging.

[Cultivating the Pupil Control Technique is inherently a long and arduous process. Without months or even years of hard work, it’s impossible to truly grasp it.]

[The reason it’s so difficult is because the power you aim to control is the human heart.]

[The human heart is inherently the most elusive thing in the world. It is fickle and capricious. If you’re not careful, it will slip from your grasp.]

[Therefore, you must have enough patience and perseverance. You cannot waver in your resolve due to temporary setbacks.]

[Believe that if you persist, one day you will master this powerful force. When that time comes, who in this world can hinder your path?]

The system’s words flowed into Zhang Beixing’s heart like a warm current.

Immediately, his originally gloomy mood rose once again.

Indeed, the human heart is hard to gauge, so the power to control the human heart is so precious.

If there weren’t several setbacks, if there weren’t hardships unimaginable to ordinary people, how could one be worthy of possessing such defiance of the heavens?

With this thought, Zhang Beixing reignited his fighting spirit.

"I understand! I will persist, no matter how difficult it is!"

Zhang Beixing clenched his fist, his voice resoundingly firm.
