[Serah expressed how, let alone one favor, she didn’t mind doing countless more.]
[And you didn’t hold back after her generous words and told her directly that you needed Elysia to help you in so matters for a long ti, or a witch other than her who was well connected, for the period of around five years.]
[Serah contemplated your request seriously, before finally explaining that lending you Elysia for so ti while possible, it’s actually impossible to let her accompany you for such an extended duration, especially given her current authority, so it would be better to help you find another trustworthy witch, and if necessary, Elysia could supervise her work later.]
[Her offer was not bad at all, and so you naturally agreed to it, thinking that it was finally ti to move forward with your ambitious plans.]
Not bad at all?
Noel thought with a pleased smile, feeling more and more satisfied with Serah’s reliability.
He had been pretty on guard against her at first, but at this point?
She was the most stress-free among all those troublemakers around him.
[22 years old. You have already consummated your relationship with Serah, and unlike how you expected, neither Selena nor Lilith have a strong negative reaction to that developnt.]
[Serah had also finally introduced you to a strong Witch working independently from the Witch faction, Lirien, and you were more than satisfied with her capabilities, as unlike Elysia who was more battle-oriented, Lirien was a typical witch who was specialized in utility and versatility.]
Lirien... with a thoughtful gaze, Noel carefully morized this important na.
He still had a serious grudge to settle with the witch faction, but he knew the absolute necessity of having one of his subordinates as a witch, so maybe she could be a potential candidate?
Not simply for the short-term contract like in the simulation, but the long-term one, where she would be his own.
Noel decided to see how this simulation continued before he made his final decision.
[Your request to her was simple: to gather information, starting from those talented individuals that are still unaffiliated by any factions, moving to every small organization or family on earth, then about events or dinsions that opened, were opened, closed, or whatever that happened starting from the sixth of February of this year.]
That’s the date of today... Noel smiled knowingly as the thought crossed his mind.
[Against the broad amount of information you asked for, Lirien, while surprised slightly at first, still didn’t ask about the reason and simply did as she was told without question.]
[One month passed. Your relationships have at so point started improving on their own with both Selena and Lilith, and so with them along with Hilda, Elysia, and Serah, you were in Italy, Florence.]
[Your gaze moved between the Inheritance Dinsion in the distance and Elsa in front of you for so ti, before you finally settled your attention on Elsa, who seed to have forgotten Selena at one point, the one she ca to see, and instead was simply staring at you with obvious amazent and admiration.]
[You hesitated only for a mont, before you asked her directly if she wanted to co out of her Ravelli house and work under you, or if she wanted, she could be your woman.]
[Against your shocking offer, Elsa was taken aback and stayed silent for a long mont, but those around you were not the sa — all of them had their auras flare dangerously.]
[In the end, none of them made a move, and Elsa politely refused you.]
[Ti passed quickly after that, and in no ti, the inheritance dinsion stabilized, and entry to it beca possible.]
[The Ravelli house had co nearly with all their forces though, and it seed a battle was due to happen, where you were clearly at a disadvantage, but then you already prepared, asked Serah to call the elder she had already contacted and who was nearby.]
[His imposing presence imdiately changed everything, and you once again asked Elsa if she has changed her mind and wanted to give a different reply.]
[This ti, Elsa didn’t give a reply instantly and hesitated visibly, but in the end, she still refused you, and seeing that, you crossed her na from your mind, having no intention to ask the sa woman three tis.]
So I have so misunderstandings?
Noel was thoughtful as he saw the outco with Elsa.
She was soone who had killed him once in the simulation, and he was entangled with her frequently due to the inheritance dinsion.
But did they have so deadly grudge against each other? No.
And so, with the outco of the simulation from yesterday morning, he still felt that maybe he could recruit her. But had he read it wrong? Or did he not have enough charisma?
... Or had he co too early?
Noel couldn’t be completely sure.
[You moved on with your business and entered the inheritance dinsion with seeming familiarity, where before long, you obtained two precious drops of blood and the complete Blood Scripture.]
[You didn’t dwell much in Italy after that. Instead, you left the dinsion in the hands of the Hollow Sun Sect mbers to handle, then departed for the United States.]
[There you first absorbed the knowledge of the Blood Scripture, and took one of the two blood drops. Then you moved on to the second drop with growing anticipation.]
[You asked Lirien to prepare the ritual to receive this mysterious bloodline, and it didn’t take long before it was finished, and you finally consud it.]
[You, who already had a high affinity with blood, seed to have acquired wings after that, as your affinity increased just that much. And it didn’t stop there, as even your physical strength seed to have so enhancent.]
[Three months later, you had finished refining your lungs, even when you didn’t try that much, and now had already moved to your liver with steady progress.]
[23 years old, you had finally reached initial mastery in the Blood Scripture. While in the process of refining your kidney, you had already gone more than halfway through, but your attention was not there. Instead, it was on the flood of information that you got from Lirien, and you needed to sort and morize every detail of.]
[There was useless information and interesting ones in regard to events, but you went through them all the sa, while taking a note on what might prove valuable later.]
[One month passed. Through Hilda, you finally gathered those from the Cross house who were still loyal to you, not to Lilith, and finally declared the establishnt of Zero Division.]
[You, who had already received lists upon lists from Lirien in regard to supposedly talented people, left only Hilda and Nadine with you. You sent all the other initial mbers of Zero Division on their missions, where they were to either bring these targets to your organization, and if they refused, to kill them without hesitation.]
[If there was soone who you could consider to be talented enough to catch even your attention, you had plans to go and see them yourself. But soone like that didn’t appear among the prospects.]
Why did he go to this extre?
Noel was not soone against killing in general. But he still felt that his action in the simulation, to kill if they refused to join him, was still bound to incur many dissatisfactions while making an organization.
So it really wasn’t necessary to be this ruthless.
So, why did he do that?
While tapping the desk, Noel quietly wondered.
[Three months later, after you went through the first batch of the nas and recruited what could be recruited, you finally turned your attention to sothing else you had been delaying for so ti now... the rrow family.]
[You gathered Selena, Lilith, and Serah, and laid out your goal without the slightest hesitation: the complete destruction of the rrow house... and enslaving Liora and Maelis.]
[No one seed to appreciate your goal, their dissatisfaction naturally being on the enslaving part. But in the end, they still agreed.]
[And once the decision was made, the plan moved forward with the utmost efficiency.]
[Serah’s forces ford the main spearhead, and with Zero Division, your own people by your side, you launched a coordinated strike on the rrow house’s primary dinsion.]
[anwhile, auxiliary teams ford from those Cross mbers, and the Everen House, hunted down any mbers who happened to be outside, ensuring no avenue of escape remained open.]
[The battle was pretty one-sided, especially with the strong forces of the Hollow Sun cult and the second in command of the Everen house actually coming to support the operation. And so, taking Coren’s life and catching Liora didn’t take much effort at all.]
[In the end though, Maelis was still able to escape through thods you hadn’t anticipated. And you were forced to eradicate every last mber of the rrow family, whether of the main line or the farthest branch, before moving on to catch the mother with renewed determination.]
