"Ti for today's dosage of neuro-enhancers…. Don't worry, it won't hurt at all-" Escanor said, as he wickedly smacked the hallucigen serum, preparing to inject a shot into Riva's body.
Riva's body inadvertently shivered once she heard that she was going to get another shot of neuro-hallucinogen as for a mont she sucked up the drool coming out of her mouth and lifted her head to look towards Escanor.
When she had first fallen into his clutches, she would glare at him with imnse hatred and rebellion. She did not wish to yield to his wishes at all, however, as she looked towards him today, her gaze was confused.
It did not project hatred, it did not project any reluctance to being given another hallucigen shot, as at this point her body had started to beco addicted to the drugs.
She began experiencing withdrawal symptoms, including vomiting blood when she was not given the drug for too long and having her drool mixed with blood was already a symptom that she was on the edge.
As Escanor injected the drug into her veins, Riva experienced montary relief as lots of dopamine was released into her bloodstream to give her montary pleasure.
"Mmmmfff" a slight moan escaped her lips, as she threw a thankful gaze towards Escanor.
"You've been a good girl yesterday, enjoy your rewards my dear….." Escanor said, as he slowly completed the drug injection and gave Riva a slight kiss on her cheeks.
"Be a good girl today too, and prepare a good story to tell tomorrow….. I'll see you soon" He said, before leaving her cell, where his top intelligence officer was waiting for him.
"My Lord, I have an urgent report you must look over-" his information head said, as he handed Escanor a five page top secret docunt.
"What is it?" Escanor said, sounding annoyed as he opened the docunt and began reading it in haste.
"Hmmm….."
After reading the first few lines hastily, Escanor realized that this docunt was extrely urgent and critical, as he stopped reading it haste and glossed over every minor detail.
"So those pesky Earthlings have finally decided to make their move and launch a floor raid... How interesting-" Escanor said, as he finished reading the report.
"Yes, my lord, our sources tracking them have noticed a massive increase in purchase of siege weapons and single use explosives by the True Elites Guild. It seems like they have begun their preparations for launching a floor raid in the next 3-6 months" The intelligence officer reported, as Escanor stroked his chin.
"Has a report been sent to my son regarding this?" He inquired, as the information head nodded in acknowledgent.
"Yes, my Lord, the young Lord has also received a copy" the information head said, as Escanor smiled evilly.
"Instruct my son to disrupt their procurent strategies.
Advise him to establish fictitious rchants and distribute defective products to them. Interfere with their shipnts to delay their military schedule by several weeks.
Additionally, direct him to begin preparations for a siege—amass supplies, gather personnel, and fortify our defenses in anticipation of holding floor 21." Escanor said, as the information head noted his instructions fervently.
"I think I should be done with breaking this girl's mind completely in two months. Making her worthless for , so tell Perseus to prepare to hold her properly and not lose her like he lost Joe.
She will be instruntal if we want to capture Rocky and needs to be presented as a sane and able-bodied target when they co to save her" Escanor said, as he smiled evilly thinking about the gas that he would play with the enemy's mind.
"Those foolish Gemini believers dare eye the floor controlled by the blood of Poseidon? They will surely pay for their foolishness-" Escanor said, as he began to narcissistically laugh as he walked away from Riva's cell.
***********
( anwhile Perseus )
Perseus received two very concerning reports at once.
The first was from his sister, who had sent him a letter informing him that Rocky had successfully completed the floor10 promotion test, presumably from the 'A' ranked icy cold testing pool.
This ant that he was alive and stronger than ever before and had returned with unknown knowledge of the Origin Realm.
For the next few days, every move that he made would need to be carefully monitored, as if history taught the Olympians a lesson, it was that a Champion returning from the Origin Realm, always beca unpredictable for a few months.
However, while the first report he received was only slightly worriso, the second one that he received from his father was far more critical and demanded imdiate action.
It detailed a preemptive strike strategy against the True Elites Guild, outlining specific tactics to disrupt their operations.
He was inford about the True Elites gathering supplies in what could only an them preparing for war, and to counter that his father had commanded him to interfere with their logistics by establishing fictitious rchants and selling them defective products, which would delay their military activities by weeks.
Additionally, he was to prepare for a potential siege on floor 21 by amassing supplies and bolstering their defenses.
As Perseus read through the strategy with a practiced eye, absorbing every detail, he couldn't help but feel as if the pressure was mounting on him from all sides.
He was not only responsible to keep Rocky and Sophia in check, run and administer floor 21, but had to now also deal with additional headaches, putting too much on his plate at once.
Although his father's plan was cunning, as he planned to exploit the enemy's supply chains and try sowing chaos and confusion within their ranks, it needed a lot of preparation on his part and flawless execution to bring to life.
While any success would be attributed to his father's genius strategy, any failure would be blad on his sloppy execution, putting him in a tough lose-lose situation.
"It's too much. I'm not even the Champion Of Poseidon, but I'm given the most responsibilities and the least thank-you's" Perseus complained as he began strategizing about how to bring his father's sches to life.
