2 DAYS LATER.
Inside the chamber of comrce arms & craftsmanship departnt, a eting was being held at the ti of the afternoon. Just 2 days ago, there were 13 seats available but now only 7 of them were occupied.
And out of the current mbers of the council available, every single one of them was sweating heavily just with the happenings in the past 2 days.
After the incident of Zeus leaving the decapitated heads of their fellow mbers of the council right on the round table they were sitting.. All of them were taken aback and couldn't believe that their fellow business tycoons who were no less rich than them were all killed in a single night.
And Houdini, their chosen president & the main representative was tied to the chair and presented with the heads of their comrades.. All of them were now fearful for their own future.
And on the sa day.. They learned that the dead mbers had jointly conspired together and hired the Red Right Hand, one of the top assassin organizations in the entire destrict.
But to their surprise, the entire organization was also wiped out on the sa night. And the main culprit behind it all was actually a Semi-Saint Rank fighter.
Even in the entire empire which had more than 4 billion people living it in, there were less than 200 semi-saint rank people and they had successfully incurred the wrath of one.
Even soone of their reputation, wealth and connections couldn't manage to befriend such a person but they actually ended up causing his company a lot of damage.
The young boy who ca 2 weeks ago was the representative of this grand persona and all they did was try to create more problems for this powerhouse.
"President Houdini.. Are you sure we might be spared? Because I think running away seems like a more reasonable approach to .
Although all of our businesses and wealth would be gone.. Just staying alive matters more to ." spoke a black man depressed in a white and green coat.
"You think I didn't have that thought? But running away is not a wise choice. Because not only this Zeus is a semi-saint archer, he also has a thousand people under his command like a criminal organization.
From the very beginning, we never had a chance to escape." replied Houdini.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The next mont, the main door was opened and the guards escorted 3 new mbers inside.
Two of them were familiar figures to these mbers as they were none other than Oga & Jugram who put them all kneeling on the ground. And behind them… entered a man in his mid-50s.
This new individual seed far more regal and imposing than all of them combined.
All the mbers got up from their seats and bowed down in respect to this man clad in blad & white regal clothes who appeared like a leader of so rich noble clan.
BOOM!!
The next second however, an imasurably heavy pressure was released from the domineering man with black hair & bear along with the white patches.
Instantly, every single one of them was put in the ground from this chaotic aura as the tyrannical voice landed on their ears.
"Good thing that all of you ca at your own discretion. Otherwise, I would've hated to find you myself." a ghastly & majestic voice ca from this person.
The mbers of the council and all the guards couldn't do anything but to have their faces plastered on the floor. Their bodies having nothing but goosebumps & frozen countenance.
The reason why all of them were present here for this eting was because Zeus, the semi-saint rank archer himself had ordered them to be present to the eting using that letter left on the round table. And anyone absent will be marked as the next one to die.
Hence, they had no choice but to be present here at this mont.
Zeus then sat on one end of the round table.
"Such a comfortable chair. This table also looks rather spacious I would say." spoke Zeus and chuckled.
But to the mbers who were frozen stiff on the ground, it felt like they now stood in front of the grim reaper.
Of course, the table would be spacious… because he killed the people who occupied these chairs.
Zeus then deactivated his aura & spoke.
"I assu you all know why I'm here. And who actually owns the Bloodborne company?"
"Yes sir.. We apologize for creating trouble for your company. We did not know such a grand persona held the command of that enterprise." bootlicked a yellow botir.
Zeus then sat leisurely spoke..
"I don't like to beat around the bush. From now on.. Never even in dreams are any of you to create trouble for my company. I don't care about the market prices and stuff. You all will readjust it.
And my nephew, Kahn will have a seat at the council. Although he's not the kind to interfere in these things often.. I want you to take care of all the conditions and docunts.
In return, I won't kill any of you and interfere with your businesses either. But there won't be any form of forgiveness ever again. You will surely join your friends if it cos to that." threatened Zeus in a calm deanor.
Although he could rob them easily again & force so unfair deals like asking for a cut under the na of protection fees.. This wasn't a good choice. And these remaining mbers except Houdini weren't the ones who conspired and hired those killers.
Because even a cornered animal fights back.. So he didn't aim for another skirmish.
"So, do you all agree?"
All the mbers nodded in unison to this question.
What Zeus had implied here is that you're good as long as you don't ss with . So they had no reason to disagree if it ant them having their heads intact.
The aura released from Zeus was sothing not even the pressure from both Oga & Jugram could imitate together. So they had no other options but to nod.
"Good. Then all of you may leave… Except you, Warsich." spoke Zeus as he gestured all of them to leave the place.
Houdini on the other end was shuddering in imnse fear as if he'd soon get a panic attack.
"Do you know why I haven't killed you already?" asked Zeus in a skeptical tone.
"No.. I don't." spoke Houdini in a jittery voice.
The next mont, Zeus again revealed his aura full of bloodlust at the snakekin and commanded..
"Well then.. Tell about them." said Zeus as he sighed before continuing..
"The real culprits behind all of this."
