"She'll let you go now. But make sure you keep that contract in mind. After all, you made a deal with the devil," Noah told the girl, letting a smirk escape his mouth. Lilith sliding away from her, and the ceiling lights right in front of her face, Noah watched the girl cover her eyes with her hands, averting her gaze for a while, before sitting up on the bed. "Eh? Where's the woman? Where's the scary guy?" she asked, only seeing the handsome Noah in front of her. "Those are just figments of your…

"Remove anything that makes it hard to identify her face and make sure she's well tied up and blindfolded. If she has nothing to do with the Families and we can assure that, there's no reason to kill her if she doesn't know about you and the others," Noah told her, not realizing what Lilith meant since he hadn't seen her face. He walked by Lilith dragging her inside, before she reached the dinner table, dropping all the boxes on it. "Let us see what's up with all this crap," he muttered, excitedly…

"Nah, I'll hop by home and let Terrence and the Unicorn out. I want them to keep an eye for intruders," he said, taking the car off the parking lot. "Do you really think they'll start aiming there too? I mean, what's there for them to take in that place?" Lilith asked, looking out the windows to see the street. "To he honest, I doubt they are doing this for the money. Also, it could be that it's not even the Hyu Family doing it in the first place," Noah said while taking the way towards downtown…

The young man nodded to him, before the doors closed, and Noah was left to thing alone in the company of Lilith. 'Don't speak in words yet. We can talk like this for the time being," he warned her, as he felt the snake would start up a conversation. 'Is there anything I should know?' she asked him back, straightening herself as if ready to attack while staring up at his face from the ground. 'No, not really... It's just a hunch. Let's make sure not to let go of our leverage and secrets. I have a…

"I'm relieved," Marcel said, filling his glass, and taking a swig that emptied it in a single second. "I was afraid you would've accepted that." Marcel sighed, leaning back on the chair and relaxing. 'Didn't I tell you?! It was a clear trap. What a dumbass," Lilith said in a tone Noah could imagine her roll her eyes. After all, he himself didn't quite get why the whole test or whatever even happened in the first place. But there was no point in blabbering about it. So he didn't even answer, and just…

"Do you seriously have a private elevator?" Noah asked, as he and Lilith stepped in. Or rather, she slid in, he stepped. "Don't you also think it's too much?" Marcel shot back at him with another question. "Wait until you see the view," he said, staring at the glass back wall that now only showed a fancy brick wall. As he said this, the elevator doors closed, and the thing started moving up. "This entire building is used by the companies owned by the Khan Family. Some idiot thought it was a great idea…

"I could have waited a few more weeks, but after the efforts to clean the Khan Family of dissidents and enemies, this is the perfect time," Marcel said, taking a deep breath and drinking the remainder of the water in his glass. "Elder Michael Khan, please take the seat at the opposite corner of this table." Michael stood up hearing this, his heart beating on his eardrums. He felt the blood rush from his face, making it pale, before he gathered himself to swallow dry and walk towards the assigned seat. His…

"I do have some intel on the supply of monsters for lease having increased a few-fold. Considering they are equivalent in strenght to C Rank Blessed, and that they will fight each other without any issues, it wouldn't be strange to start seeing families use them as disposable forces." And the atmosphere of the entire room froze, as even Marcel stared at him dumbfounded. 'Noah, I think you just said something really outrageous," Lilith's voice echoed in his mind. And in line with her thoughts Marcel's…

"—and likely are responsible for the increase in earnings from fortresses. So I now declare them part of the Inner Circle of this family. And acknowledge their presence as one of the Elder Parties, since one in every five of their members is an elder of this Family" Noah and Michael looked at each others faces, expecting the imminent and unavoidable fallout. And feeling his unease, a massive snake coiled is way, around Noah's legs and up its torso, baring its fangs at the people approaching him too…

The two of them walked through a double-door, leading to a meeting room like those in large companies, but with a lot more people than what he had initially expected. The room was large, and a long table was laid on its center. Around it, over a dozen people were seated neatly, only a pair of chairs at each head of the table empty. Around, there were two people accompanying each of the seated people, like bodyguards. Noah knew, those were all blessed, every single one of them. "I am sorry for our delay,…
