Big Surprise

The scene in the hall transformed, with all eyes now fixed on the stage, each gaze filled with reverence. Despite the high status of those present, before me, they appeared as mere puppets on strings.

"Take a seat," my command echoed through the room, and like marionettes, everyone obediently followed suit. 

Thanks to my new ability, Mind Sharing, exerting control over the entire assembly became way easy. 

The people present right now are here for either two reasons: they were either already under my influence or had received invitations from those who were. 

My intention behind this gathering was to further expand my sphere of influence among other things .

Carefully controlling their mind, I made them believed that they were part of an exclusive organization for the wealthy, a common enough occurrence in high society.
