The Villain's Story Chapter 218 [218] The Problems

"Ahem, If I have everyone's attention...I need to talk about so things."

Maxwell said as he cleared his throat. Alan, Kazikato, Alice, and Sabrina focused on him.

"First of all, We don't have enough manpower, if a certain soone was present here this issue wouldn't be as severe...but alas he's an idiot."

"Hey, I had so business to attend to."

Alan said, angry at Maxwell.

"How much does the branch need?"

Sabrina asked a question...whilst Alan looked at her weirdly.

'Hey I as the leader should be asking that question...and why is she making herself at ho here?!'

Alan thought...believing that he, as the leader Of [Predator]...should be doing this.

"Well, to manage the territory of Rhino guild and also for renovation and dungeon business. We need 50 of each rank minimum below C, it would help if he had more c rank hunters as well. And we also need artisans for renovating the area. On top-"

"I can provide them all."

Sabrina said as she took out her watch and just as she was about to make a call...Maxwell stopped her.

"Please don't trouble yourself, miss, I've already written an application that has been accepted By Headquarters...we would be receiving the reinforcents by tomorrow."

"I agree."

Alan agreed with Max. It wasn't a good look that Twilight needed Wellington's help with such a small matter...it would be disastrous to their reputation. And she also didn't have any need to do this.

Seeing them both, Sabrina stepped down.

"Second, we need to lower many things, such as the absurdly high tax rate imposed by the Rhino guild, and improve our own reputation. The people here in this city don't think much of us Awakened...and for this, we need to do a lot of Charity work. Which should be enough...and slowly build our reputation with better services...we will need a lot of money for that...So Alan and Kazikato should get going for Dungeon raids. I don't want to use the money from the spatial Industry for that. So here."

Maxwell handed Alan a file containing the information of all the dungeons they had acquired authority over from the Rhino guild.

Seeing the list, Alan and Kazikato left almost imdiately because there was a large amount of work to be done.

"Now...Alice And Miss Sabrina...."

A shrewd smile appeared on Maxwell's face as the two girls felt a chill down their spines...but then.

"Now! Do you want to beco a part of Predator Miss Sabrina? Im sure your family would not mind and we are also needing a mage here..." Maxwell said with a bright, innocent smile.

Sabrina...looking at Maxwell...had an odd feeling that she could not yet decipher...

"...I don't mind it."

"Very Well! Please sign this contract of mbership."

Maxwell pushed forward a purple contract towards Sabrina...who carefully read it before saying.

"I still need my family's Per-"

"Ayy? Oh co on, It's just a contract."

Maxwell interrupted her with the brightest smile...coaxing her to sign...But thankfully Sabrina was not foolish enough to actually do it.

"I will sign it after consulting with my family..."

She said, dodging an unknown bullet.

"Ahh...It's a sha...but would you please consider doing one favor for us? Considering 'we' are affiliated to the Wellington family."

Maxwell said...his intentions unclear.

"I wouldn't mind..."

"GREAT! Please help us with the following tasks...."

She regretted that later on...

****

[Alone in his office.]

Maxwell...nearly spat blood out as he tried to regain his composure...

"Hahhaahahahhahahaa....HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA"

His maniacal laughter, however...clearly showed that he was out of his mind...

"Kukuku...to think I have coaxed the heir of the wellington and the heir of Twilight...KUKUKU!"

He was ecstatic...because his plan had succeeded...so fucking well.

Not only had he coaxed Alice, a beauty and the daughter of the twilight guild master...but he had also coaxed soone even far greater.

Coaxing Alice was easy...she wasn't soone to disagree with...even if it was this task. But he had convinced an UNPARALLED beauty known as Sabrina Wellington...

What had he coaxed them into you might ask?

INTO BECOMING THE FACES OF THIS BRANCH OF TWILIGHT! He was already planning nurous interviews...advertisents...and product placents....GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

"Ah...your a genius max... a genius."

He praised himself as he leaned back on his chair...as he ca to a sudden thought.

"Wait...I just scamd the heir of the Wellington Family and daughter of The guildmaster..."

Upon coming to such a realization...he thought...

Fuck...

****

"Boss...and you say I'm brutal."

"Shut it."

Alan said as he opened nurous portals on the ground...hiding the traces of the massacre he had perford in the harsh rain.

"Did you check for caras?"

Alan asked, and Kazikato nodded.

"Yep, None were here. I also checked the buildings for life and none."

*RUMBLE!*

The sudden sound of thunder caused the two to look at the sky, and before long Alan was done with the cleanup.

'Thank god I rembered this...otherwise, another news headline would be on everyone's mind.

He and Kazikato then went to a house...a house Alan rembered well.

His grandparent's house...and he secretly placed an Artifact on the wall, an artifact which disappeared after being placed.

'Good now I'll be sure to know if sothing happens...'

He said...before donning his cloak and disappearing.

He and Kazikato would raid dungeons for a few days...and when they would be very...very surprised.

****

In the harsh rain...a figure in a raincoat blitzed through the rain...trails of fire leaving his feet...evaporating the water from the rain...

Elijah blitzed through the streets of Aror...until he arrived at the slums.

He saw nothing but rainwater and sewers overflowing within the slums...and quietly headed to a particularly run-down house with a seemingly ordinary wooden door.

He knocked on the door in a specific pattern, Three short interval knocks and two long interval knocks.

"Who is it?"

A voice was heard from the other side...a rough and husky, deep voice.

"A custor seeking the services of the darkness."

Elijah said...which was obviously a code and soon the door opened and he walked down the stairs after passing a rough-looking burly man.

He then arrived...at the place where he knew his brother was...

The Black market!
