Villain: I transmigrated with Mind Control Powers

Chapter 93: Chapter 93: The Plan is in motion

For a moment, he let himself bask in the satisfaction of what he had achieved. Her favorability had shifted, and now it was time to solidify her loyalty—permanently.

A vial appeared in his hand, its contents shimmering a deep crimson as he carefully uncorked it. With a subtle flick of his wrist, a few drops landed gently on Daniela's lips. The moment the blood touched her, it seeped into her, merging with her essence.

Immediately, the system responded:

[Ding! Host, a new target detected. Would you like to activate the mind control skill?]

Aric smirked. "Yes," he whispered, his voice barely audible. He watched as his blood began to work its magic, allowing him to implant the memories and emotions that would bind Daniela to him forever.

He began weaving the new memories into her mind with meticulous care, shaping her thoughts.

"You've always loved me, Daniela." His voice, soft but commanding, echoed in her subconscious. "From the moment we met, you knew that I was the one who would protect you. You are blessed to be with me. You are aware that I am a strong and capable man and I cannot be satisfied with one woman and you want me to conquer beautiful women in the world."

As he infused the memories, they became her truth.

"But Long Tianyun... your so-called brother... he's not who you think he is. He is a treacherous snake." His voice grew colder, filled with righteous anger. "Do you remember how your parents died? It wasn't an accident.

You think you are an orphan and he is your brother? Then you are wrong."

He paused, letting the seed of doubt settle.

"It was the Long Family. Tianyun's father ordered the massacre of your family to consolidate his power. And now, Tianyun has the same ambition. He wants to take everything from you, including your body. He sent those rogue cultivators to kill you, but it was I who saved you. I've always protected you."

The more he spoke, the more the memory took shape in her mind.

"I protected you always because for me you are my wife." he whispered, his words dripping with sincerity. "I am your husband. Your heart belongs to me, as mine does to you. The Lei Family's power flows through my veins, and I will destroy anyone who dares harm you."

In the new memories he implanted, Aric was no longer disguised as Ye Chen. He was himself—the rightful heir of the Lei Family, one of the most powerful clans on the continent of Azuria. The might of his lineage was beyond question, and his connection to her was bound by love, loyalty, and destiny.

He emphasized the glory of their union, how together they would reshape the future, ruling over those who had wronged them.

As the last of the memories took root, Daniela began to stir. Her eyes fluttered open, and when they focused on the figure before her, it was not Ye Chen she saw—it was Aric in his true form.

"Husband..." Her voice was soft, filled with warmth and adoration as she gazed at him. "I missed you."

Aric smiled, his expression one of pure triumph. He reached out, gently brushing a strand of hair away from her face. "And I missed you, my love. But I am here now. Nothing will ever come between us again."

Daniela leaned into his touch, her heart swelling with joy at the sight of her true love. The memories he had planted now defined her reality. She believed with every fiber of her being that Aric had always been her protector, her savior, her one true love. And the hatred she felt for Long Tianyun was as strong as her love for Aric.

"I can't believe I trusted Tianyun," she whispered, a tear slipping down her cheek. "He betrayed me... our family... and you've been the one protecting me all along."

A few days later...

Inside Daniela's house, Aric sat on a plush chair, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest. A sly smile curled on his lips as he listened to the report from one of his informants, who knelt before him.

"Young Master," the informant said, bowing deeply, "we've confirmed it. Ye Chen has been located in Blackmist Forest. He's been laying low since his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm."

Aric's eyes gleamed with satisfaction. "Blackmist Forest, you say?" He leaned forward, his smile widening. "Perfect. The fool thought he could hide, but it seems fortune has smiled upon me once again."

The informant nodded, his voice steady but tinged with awe. "Indeed, Young Master. He has remained hidden for days, but our scouts have confirmed his presence. There's no mistake."

Aric chuckled softly to himself. "Excellent work. You've earned your reward." He tossed a small pouch of spirit stones toward the informant, who caught it and bowed deeply again.

"Thank you, Young Master."

As the informant departed, Aric stood, stretching his arms lazily as he walked toward the window overlooking the forest. "So, Ye Chen has reached Nascent Soul... No matter. And now that I know where he is, it's time to set the final pieces in motion."

"Its time to see the game in motion", Aric smirked.

In the evening...

Aric lay in bed, watching the soft morning light filter through the windows as Daniela hummed a gentle tune from the kitchen—the scent of dinner travelled through the air. As much as he enjoyed these quiet moments, his thoughts were always working, always plotting.

He rose from the bed, silently making his way toward the kitchen, where Daniela stood by the stove. Her back was to him, her hair cascading down her shoulders. The sight of her, so serene and content, stirred something inside him. But it wasn't love—it was satisfaction. Daniela wasn't just any woman; she was a reborn empress, a being destined for greatness.

Now, she was his, and her future power would be a tool in his arsenal.

Aric wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close. Daniela jumped slightly, then relaxed as she felt his familiar embrace.

"Honey…" she whispered with a soft smile, looking over her shoulder at him.

"My beauty is cooking for her husband," Aric murmured, his lips brushing against her ear. "But I'm feeling lonely."

She laughed gently, a sound that made her seem even more radiant. "Just a little more time. We'll enjoy ourselves after dinner."

"Promise?" he teased, his tone playful but with an undercurrent of desire.

Daniela turned slightly, her cheeks flushed with a shy smile. "Yes, I promise." She raised her face to him, and he sealed her words with a kiss.

After dinner, the room was filled with the sounds of passion, as moans and gasps echoed through the air. Aric savoured the moment with Daniela. Her love, her loyalty, her very essence—he had claimed it all. And soon, she would help him with his next plan.

Later, as they lay entwined, Aric shifted the conversation.

"There's something important we need to discuss," he began, his voice soft but serious.

Daniela's expression grew attentive as she gazed up at him. "What is it, my love?"

"Ye Chen and Long Tianyun." Aric's eyes darkened at the mention of Ye Chen's name. "I intend to pit them against each other—using you as the catalyst."

Daniela frowned slightly, confusion flickering in her eyes. "Me? How?"

Aric sat up, his gaze intense. "Ye Chen is a threat to me, and Long Tianyun has always been a thorn in my side. I've devised a plan to make them destroy each other. But for this to work, you need to play your part perfectly."

Daniela nodded, her trust in Aric unshakable. "Tell me what to do."

Aric smiled, pleased by her obedience. "We'll spread rumors that Ye Chen tried to violate you, and that you were only saved because of the safety measures Long Tianyun put in place. You will pretend to be his devoted sister who was close to losing her dignity. You will pretend that you are depressed by the event. This will ignite his fury and make him confront Ye Chen directly.

Long Tianyun will want revenge for your honour—and Ye Chen, who is unaware of all this when find Long Tianyun attacking, will have no other choice but to retaliate."

Daniela's expression hardened as the plan began to take shape in her mind. "And once they start fighting?"

"One of them will die," Aric replied, his voice cold. "Preferably both. But at the very least, they will be injured."

Daniela's eyes gleamed with understanding. "And you will be the one who emerges victorious in the end."

Aric nodded. "Exactly. Now, we need to spread the rumor and make sure Long Tianyun hears it. You will tell him about the horror you faced and then everything will fall to its place."

The following day, the duo was ready to execute the plans. Aric stood beside her, his hand resting on her shoulder, exuding a calm confidence. The plan was in motion, and this final step would ensure the trap was set.

"Are you ready?" Aric asked softly, his voice gentle yet firm.
