Seeing that Kael wanted to resist, Cain shrugged and said, "Do not be in such a hurry. I will not do anything to you. I only want you to see some things, and at the same time, it can be considered giving you a reward in advance."
As he spoke, Cain raised his right hand and placed his palm on Kael's forehead.
In an instant, Kael felt everything go dark before his eyes. One image after another, like a continuous television series, unfolded in his mind.
"This is what you are curious about: the Dragon of the Underworld, Giratina." Cain's voice appeared beside Kael's ear, sounding with an almost illusory feeling.
Sure enough, upon seeing the images before his eyes, Kael stopped resisting.
Seeing that Kael was no longer resisting, Cain smiled even more happily.
His psychic power spread out and entered Kael's mind. With the ability of the psychic power he possessed at that moment, as long as the other party did not resist too much, he could successfully plant a psychic seed.
But very quickly, the smile on Cain's face gradually faded, and his eyes sharpened.
"Hngh..." Kael let out a muffled groan.
"As expected of the heir of the Drako family."
After sighing silently in his heart, Cain gave up on his plan and resorted to a relatively gentler measure.
Originally, Cain wanted to directly plant a compulsory psychic seed in Kael's mind, like the psychic seeds he had planted in the minds of Brad and Catherine.
But after trying it, Cain gave up on it, because Kael's willpower was far more resilient than he had imagined.
If he planted it by force, it was very possible that Kael would directly become an idiot, or even a person in a vegetative state.
If that really happened, Cain estimated that not only would he change history, but he would also very likely be hunted down by the Drako family in this era.
Although with his current strength, he did not fear the pursuit of the Drako family. Even if there really were some hidden old monsters within their family, they probably would not reach the Master level.
As long as they did not reach the Master level, they would not represent a great threat to Cain.
But in that way, it was most likely that he would no longer be able to enter the Dragon's Den.
Moreover, Cain did need Kael to remain alive. At least as long as he lived, there would be someone to help him weaken Giratina's strength.
So Cain could only settle for the second-best option. In the deepest part of Kael's mind, he buried a type of psychic seed similar to the one he had once planted in Lysandre's mind. It was not forced control, but something that would make him, in a subtle and imperceptible way, develop a certain favorable impression toward him, or rather, trust.
After finishing this, Cain's psychic power exerted strength again and launched a direct impact against a certain part of his mind.
Boom!
"Ah!!"
Kael, who had originally been immersed in the images shown by Cain, suddenly screamed. All the images before his eyes scattered, and he held his head with an expression of intense pain.
The previous scene appeared before his eyes again. Kael looked at the smiling Cain.
"You!... What did you do to me?"
Cain spread his hands.
"Did I not tell you? I let you see my sincerity in advance."
"Now you have already seen Giratina's appearance and basic information, the Dragon of the Underworld. Moreover, I also helped you awaken psychic power! Is that not enough sincerity?"
As expected of the young patriarch of the Drako family, you actually have such excellent psychic talent!
Cain had already helped awaken psychic power in several people, but no matter who it was, everyone's psychic talent seemed to be better than his. It truly was something incredible.
Hearing this, Kael looked dazedly at his own hands with an expression of disbelief.
"You say that... I also became a psychic? I can also use psychic power?"
"But why do I not feel anything at all right now?"
Thinking about how, when he himself awakened his psychic power, he felt intense pain for half an hour, and how even Catherine had been dizzy for a while when she awakened hers, while this Kael only had a bit of a headache and then was fine, Cain could not help feeling that it really was incomparable.
Sure enough, no matter what it was, there were always differences between people from birth.
It was just like Pokémon, who from the moment they are born already possess differences in aptitude.
Hearing Kael's question, Cain stepped forward. Under his doubtful gaze, he extended an index finger and placed it directly on his head. Psychic power spread through the finger and entered his body.
"This is psychic power. Do you feel it? However, you have just awakened it, so it is normal for your psychic power to be weak and difficult to perceive. Besides, right now, you still cannot be considered a psychic yet. Only when your psychic power reaches the beginner psychic level can you call yourself one."
After finishing the demonstration, Cain looked at Kael and waited for his response.
After Cain's demonstration, Kael finally perceived that faint energy in his mind.
But how was psychic power trained? How was it used?
Just when Kael wanted to ask, he saw the smile on Cain's face.
He understood what Cain meant. Cain had already shown enough sincerity; now all that remained was for him to show his own.
At that moment, in Kael's mind, there was an intense internal struggle. On one side, there was a field he had never come into contact with, and in that field, he saw the possibility of breaking the shackles of his current identity, whether through Giratina, the Dragon of the Underworld, or through psychic power.
But Cain had only allowed him to taste these two things a little. They were merely the beginning.
On the other side were the rules of the Drako family, the glory of the Drako family, the responsibility of the Drako family, and so on...
All of those were things the Drako family required him to shoulder while allowing him to enjoy privileges, and they were also currently the greatest shackles upon him.
