Gotta love the fact that Macaque’s the only one of the trio who isn’t illiterate in my universe. Monkey King straight up never bothered learning to read the modern language/variant thereof (he was alone so long he figured it was useless to do so), and Hamini can only read English (which isn’t the native language for Megapolis).

So these three would go out on the town and Monkey King and Hamini would be at the mercy of whatever-the-fuck Macaque wanted to read, tricking them into going into certain stores because he can, telling them about things that aren’t on the menu at restaurants, refusing to read something that got him excited solely to piss them off-

Dude would absolutely abuse this power. 500%.

I can see this absolute shit sending the two love letters and when he’s asked what they say, he absolutely bullshits a death threat or something. MK has to tell Monkey King and Hamini what the letters actually say, the two are fucking livid--
