"Oh! My God! Audrey!" Grelint finally remembered what he had forgotten!
Today, Audrey was supposed to meet that Lady Killer at his house!
How could he have forgotten something like this!
Had that Sno used a Beyonder Ability on him?
At that moment, Grelint felt as though he had been walking down the street in a dream, only to suddenly realize he was not wearing any trousers. He snapped awake at once, abruptly turning to look nervously at Audrey. After confirming that neither her posture nor appearance had the slightest flaw, he finally relaxed a little.
He did not even dare ask Audrey where she had gone, afraid that he would receive an answer that sent his blood pressure soaring.
But before he could ask, Audrey took the initiative and spoke words that filled him with terror—
"Grelint, the next time you hold a salon or a ball, could you send Mr. Sno an invitation? It is such a hassle for him to keep mooching invitations from other ladies."
Just as Viscount Grellint's blood pressure skyrocketed, Sno was humming a piano tune as he returned to the dance floor. Pretending that he had never left, he dismissed Cannot Be Seen By Anyone and moved among the guests, reinforcing his network of connections.
Setting aside the negative effect of contamination, the Beyonder Ability "Whisper" was truly quite useful. It was practically a combination of the Telepathist pathway's cold reading, the Instigator pathway's charm, the Con Sorter pathway's psychological suggestion, and a whole series of language-based Beyonder Abilities. It even possessed a degree of hypnosis, Spirit of Words, and cognitive alteration.
With such an ability, it was even more useful in social settings than Telepathists.
After all, Telepathists and Spectators adapted themselves to suit others, while Listeners could change others.
