Combining obscure modern psychological theories with brutal real-life espionage. The protagonist's core ability is not mind reading, but "psychological manipulation" based on a large number of psychological theories. He can use precise language cues, micro-expression capture, environment creation and group behavior guidance to make the target person make the choice he wants. This is not a superpower, but a "dimensionality reduction strike" achieved through extreme human knowledge. He can determine whether the other party is lying with a handshake; he can plant seeds of doubt in the other party's subconscious through a conversation.
