Warlock of Oceans: My Poseidon System

Chapter 80 Faulty Lie Detection

FWOOSH

A massive web of blue flames connected over the cityscape, covering the entire plaza, erupting a few screams of terror but also garnering a few eyes of awe as they looked up at the spectacle. I was one of them.

Upon closer inspection, nine still wriggling bodies hung from their torsos on each strand of the blue web, slowly being consumed from the inside out by these blazing flames of liberation. Enjoy more content from empire

"Well? Shall we get going now?" My sister stretched out her hand, the web disintegrating, allowing the bodies to fall limply toward the ground.

And so, I took her hand and followed her down the dirty street, ignoring the screams of terror that echoed through the skyscrapers.

...

"Hey... are you going to kill our family?" I asked the young woman out of the blue, but she handled it quite well despite the lusting, killing intent hidden beneath that smile of hers.

"Nope..."

Her eyes scanned downwards towards me, but this time she looked at me with a bit of indifference, as if looking at a tool in a shed.

Clearly, she wanted me to get rid of the family, so I took all the blame... and to be honest, I didn't mind that since I wanted to usurp the throne of our household anyway.

I wanted all the fame and recognition that came with it, and even if it made me out to be an enemy of the city, I truly didn't care. As long as I got to slaughter those fuckers... I didn't care what my reputation would be.

"Don't go killing them yet. I know what you want to do, but right now, your forces are scarce. I'll only help you if I see you have a chance of winning... okay?"

"Sure, but ummm... can I ask you a question that might seem really weird?"

I almost couldn't suppress my smile as the app actually accepted the fake truth I had spread out, and as my sister raised an eyebrow at my growing smile, I quickly spoke up.

"My bad, my bad... It's just... I didn't expect it to actually work... in fact, let me test a lie," I smiled in order to shake just a bit more suspicion off of my presence.

My sister let out a long sigh before staring up at me and asking yet another genuine question. "Do you love your family?"

"Absolutely," I smiled, and the app immediately went off, shimmering a bright red, confirming the previous events, which caused me to nearly burst out laughing.

Most lie detection works based on your heartbeat... but what if you could control your heartbeat? Then what? The lie detector will practically be useless.

"Okay, water magician. Pretty good. Now, why do you want to visit the Temple of Light?"

"I'm only visiting to establish good relations with them. Of course, I would like to garner their favor, as later, I will attempt to use them when attacking my family. I'm sure you could have assumed that already,"

The woman snorted slightly before chuckling under her breath, not expecting the words that had just flowed out of my mouth.

"Well, I guess I did," My sister continued to laugh after checking that the light was shimmering a bright green color.

It was. I mean, of course, it was. My heartbeat was at such a low resting point I doubt the app could even pick it up.

"Alright, I trust you, but if you tell anybody the location of the temple, I will be forced to kill them. I won't do anything to you, but they will be forced to die."

"I understand," I smiled, leaning closer in, but my sister quickly pushed me back before opening her mouth.

"The location will come to you at a random time, on a random person, at a random place. Nobody can know about this, okay?"
