"Our enemies are still reeling from the change." Yuri said. "We'll use this small window to our advantage and wreck as much damage as we can. A X E."
The A X E girls straightened at the attention.
"I assign you to Centrefield."
Ezra nodded at the choice. Centrefield was Solomon's territory. With the Flower Shop destroyed, the Flower Shop girls would be much more present in Centrefield as they have been contracted by Solomon.
"I want you to keep the A X E busy during this ti." Yuri continued. "Harry them as much as you can, not giving them a mont to rest. They'll be looking forward to every clash as they probably want to get their vengeance for the destruction of their shop."
"I want them focused on you, leaving them unable to touch base with Solomon and support him as we attack him. For that, this task will fall on you, Odinson coven."
Coin stopped her glaring match with Gen to focus on Yuri's words as the attention of the room shifted to them.
"You'll be in charge of sabotaging Solomon's assets in Centrefield." Yuri spoke to Thor. "Before the night is over, I want you to attack Solomon's main company. That's his golden goose."
"Find his chief financial officer and kill him. Make it public. Sothing that will be over the news tomorrow morning. After that, I'll release the necessary scandals to make his share price drop."
"This'll keep him busy for a while, trying to save his investnts. The only thing Solomon loves more than himself is his wealth. After that, Ivo will contact you for further tasks."
Thor acknowledged the command and Yuri turned to Ezra.
"Matten coven. You will be in charge of Westside. From what I've heard, you're most familiar with the man ruling over it. The one who calls himself the Necromancer."
Ezra wasn't surprised that Yuri knew of his recent dealings with the Necromancer. She probably had more resources than he did when it ca to the current happenings in the city. His eyes flicked to Helena before moving back to the Countess.
"Westside is currently undergoing so attacks by the Investigation Bureau. Look into it and keep the fire going. I want you to keep the Necromancer pinned to Westside. He's from out of town. He ca here for a reason and no one knows what it is. He must not be allowed to join forces with anyone."
Ezra bowed slightly in acknowledgent and Yuri nodded, turning to Helena. "Peacekeepers."
Helena and Lilith saluted smartly.
"I want all eyes and ears on Vladimir. He's staying quiet for now but he's bound to try sothing later. If anything moves, I want to know before it gets to its destination."
Helena saluted in acknowledgent.
"Lady Amara." Yuri turned to the remaining group of subjects without an assignnt. "You will be in charge of guarding Southside."
"Southside isn't as developed as the other territories as it had always been a neutral territory." Yuri leaned back on her throne. "I have a lot I can afford to lose but not Ascendant Capital. I am placing you in charge of the company. Safeguard it from attacks, both internal and external attacks."
"If anyone wants to sabotage things at Southside, Ascendant is the first target. Keep it safe for ."
**********
The eting ended shortly after the distribution of assignnts. Helena watched the vampires in the room, cataloging who was looking at who, who had grudges and who had… other things in their eyes.
She noticed the eyes of Luna, one of those A X E clowns, lingering on Ezra Matten and anger welled up in her before she brutally crushed it. Why not wait and watch? It could lead to sothing she could use.
Lilith's device dinged with an incoming ssage. Helena frowned in disapproval as the girl turned away to check what it was. A mont later, she ca back and whispered into Helena's ears. "The bird has landed."
Helena's eyebrows rose in pleasant surprise. This had to be a sign of approval from the universe itself. Ezra's slush fund had been successfully transferred to and here he was in front of her, unaware and in easy access.
He nodded to his wives and as one, they turned to take their leave.
"Stay close." Helena said to Lilith as she began walking on a path to intercept Ezra.
She watched as Gen whispered to him and his eyes flickered in her direction. So, they had noticed her approach. Good for them. Unfortunately, they couldn't teleport out from the throne room without prior permission without raising so serious questions from Yuri.
"I'm not interested in whatever you have to say." Ezra said, not stopping as she drew near.
"Are you sure?" She asked calmly, her face blank. "And here I was trying to look out for a fellow vampire."
"Don't worry. We can look out for ourselves." Ezra retorted.
"Even if it involves a certain Lockwood?" Helena asked and Ezra's step faltered for a mont before he slowed to a stop.
She could see the shock in his posture before he mastered himself an instant later. He was probably wondering how she knew the na of his paper company. He also knew that there was no way it was a coincidence.
His eyes flickered all over the room as he turned to look at her, the expression on his wives, equally blank.
Helena grinned inwardly. She had his attention. "Should I continue right here in the open or would you be anable to a private eting?"
"Where should we et?"
Helena pressed the button for the elevator and the door slid open. "A private place of your choice, Ezra Matten. Just You and I. No one else."
"What are you planning, you bitch?" Red spoke up, her face twisting in hate.
"The choice is yours, Ezra Matten." Helena spoke calmly. "Take it or leave it."
His eyes narrowed in suspicion as he watched her, before he nodded, stepping into the elevator. "Let's go."
"Good choice."
