The two people who were staring at the floating figure were startled awake when Andrew fell face first onto the sturdy table. When Robin first used his wand while untying the ropes, none of them paid attention, but now seeing the small stick at the hand of Robin and the floating person for a few seconds reminded Diana of her childhood.

But she couldn't believe what she had just seen. Or rather she didn't dare to.

Robin had moved over to the table's opposite side. Diana attempted to retreat, but she felt as though her legs were helpless. But the doctor, being the experienced he was stepped a few steps away from Robin out of fear. This doctor was more perplexed than Diana because he didn't identify the stick in Robin's hand.

Andrew stood slowly before hurriedly stumbling to the floor from the table. He assumed a fighting posture and turned to face Robin, but it was clear from the trembling of his eyelids that the experience he had just had had terrified him.

"Can you all chill for a sec?" Robin asked.

The doctor asked, "How do you expect us to calm down after what you just did to him."

"I didn't do anything to him. He was the one who wanted to harm me. I am the victim here. I suppose that is what you all call Stand your Ground law or something like that. He wanted to harm me and I did self defense." Robin answered.

Diana yelled at him, "How delusional are you? You kidnap us, coerce us, blackmail us, and then tell us that you the victim here."

Robin raised his arms in defeat, "Fine.. Fine.. Bad joke.. Can we talk like civilians now?" When Andrew noticed the movement in his limbs, he winced a little. He didn't say anything because he was still trying to understand what just happened to him and thinking if he should make a run for it. The door on the side didn't look that strong. He was brought blindfold from his way to the office.

In fact Cargill had sent him to San Francisco for work purposes, all under the manipulation of JARVIS and Sigret, and on the way he was kidnapped. Even though he was a certified spy, he wasn't one of the best in the fields, not that it would have mattered in front of Ghost Corps.

Andrew continued to look at the doorway to make a break for it and asked, "Good then tell us how did you make me float in the air."

"I will explain you everything if you have some patience and stop looking at the exit. There are guards outside which could take you down in a jiffy." Robin said. Being called out in front of him caused Andrew to tense up a little. After a brief awkward pause, he placed his hands down. He had the impression that he would have to complete this. There was nothing else to do.

"Alright now that you have stopped with your assault.. Let's get to business.." Robin said as he half lifted his hand in the air. The hand that didn't have the wand. The other three were staring at him and furrowed their faces. Was he trying to do some kind of awkward thing again?

"Come.. Hold my hand." Robin said.

"What?"

"Are you being serious here?"

"Are you some kind of pervert?"

This time Robin roared, "Just do what I say, if you want to live." Since these people didn't understand sweet words it was better to use force. The other three, who were beginning to feel at ease, heard the rumble.

He was robotically approached by Andrew and the doctor, who each gripped his arm. They didn't understand what was happening, but they continued to follow. Naturally, Andrew attempted to be overly clever and wanted to apply pressure to a weak spot in the arm, but instead, he felt as though he had touched something that was tougher than steel.

No amount of force was enough to inflict pain.

Meanwhile, Diana just looked at the hand of Robin and hesitated more.

"Diana..." Robin said.

"Is it what I think it is?" Diana asked in a meek tone.

"Oh. You seem to know the legends." Robin said. Diana scowled at this response. What myths? The other two things which he did made her heart beat faster. Andrew and the doctor just looked at her in curiosity, confused about what Diana knew.

Diana didn't hesitate much anymore as she didn't want to aggravate Robin anymore.

"If you want to live, hold on to his hand like the last straw of your lives. Or else you would die." Diana reminded them. Since she almost confirmed what was going to happen, it was best to alert everyone in the room. Robin just smiled at the words of Diana while she caught the hand of Robin with both her hand and held on to it tightly.

Actually, Robin had no trouble persuading them of his bizarre behavior. It was because now with the help of magic he was powerful enough to subtly influence the thinking of people around even without using the wand. Even though his subtle subconscious magic was ineffective at brainwashing people or compelling people to act contrary to their beliefs, it could make those around him more receptive to suggestions, which is what happened in this instance.

The three saw nothing wrong with Robin's absurd decision to hold his arm. In any event, this wasn't dangerous, and more importantly, it demonstrated Robin's vulnerability.

As soon as they saw Diana holding onto Robin with both hands, the other two did the same. Seeing that everybody was ready, Robin didn't waste one more second and apparated away.

The three of them eventually understood why Diana requested that Robin hold her hand firmly during the apparition process because they all experienced strange physical manipulation during that time, including being pulled, stretched, and squeezed in ways they were unaware were possible.

They appeared in a closed room after the surroundings stabilized after a brief period of this sensation. The room was quite big with a double decker bed with proper mattress. The room was quite clean, and the large grilled window from the outside let in plenty of fresh air and sunshine.

The main highlight of the room was a different matter altogether. All 4 saw a naked man and woman going at heir business in the bed underneath. The lady had a figure that could only be categorized as among the most ideal. Perfect D cup breasts, toned abs, no excess fat anywhere.

She was riding the man who too had a good body shape. The woman was moaning loudly while she rode the man. Forget the three; even Robin was astounded by what he witnessed.

The two who were going at it were Julius and Lydia. They were in North Korea and the last time he came here was when she left Lydia in the same cell as Julius. He did so because Julius might feel some kind of loneliness living alone so why not give him a roommate.

But now it seemed like they went from room mates to something else. The two could plainly hear the dull sound that the apparition made. Julius immediately turned his head and went into panic mode. He hurriedly began looking for the trousers, only to realize that he would have to get out of bed in order to reach them.

While Lydia was quite the free spirit, she didn't try to cover her body at all. She appeared ecstatic that Robin noticed her physique and was even showing it off to him. In fact, she was looking at the new visitors with inquisitive eyes.

Robin didn't know what to say and just waved his wand at the clothes lying around. Since Robin had brought these people here, it meant that these three could never leave this location, in other words, they were the new "partners in crime."

The pair received the clothing quickly. Lydia still had fascination and awe in her eyes when she saw Robin performing magic again. As the couple dressed up, the other three were looking around finding a place where they could puke. Robin could see their struggle and just conjured three bags for them where the three could puke heartily.

Lydia wore her dress slowly and took her time, while the others managed to get themselves together after puking.

"Liked what you saw?" Lydia asked as she was finally fully clothed.

"I have a girlfriend." Robin said with straight and clear eyes.

"And I have a math test." Lydia replied.

"What?"

"I thought we are talking of things that we can cheat on." Lydia said.

"Did you just use a famous pick up line on me. You have quite the guts." Robin said amused by her behavior. After just two encounters, she had become quite brash. Meanwhile, the others' rationality eventually returned.

Julius looked ashamed. The other three looked on with intrigue and mild horror. They felt like they were in some kind of illusion, except for Diana. Her assumptions were perfectly right.
