Chapter 175: Making Preparations

All three women were completely naked and their hair and makeup were messed up from the intense rounds they had just finished having with Tobias! Tobias had left the room in the middle of their round when he got a call about the news, and the girls were left unsatisfied! The girls looked at each other while curiously muttering to each other before one of them gained enough confidence to walk up to Tobias and touch his arm.

"Come on, baby. We still have all night—"

Tobias suddenly shrugged his shoulder back in anger, and the girl let out a cry as she was thrown to the ground! Tobias stood up and the other two girls took many steps back in fear when they saw the intense look on his face.

"I thought I told you bitches to get out of here! Wallen!"

Tobias called out, and an older man with slicked-back white hair and intelligent eyes appeared from the side like a ghost. He was wearing a pristine butler’s outfit and his face was set in a look of professionalism that showed no emotion at all! He didn’t even look surprised by the sight of all the naked people in the room and he acted like this was a daily occurrence for him as he turned and spoke with a respectful tone towards Tobias.

"Yes, Mr. Grant. What may I do for you?"

Tobias waved his hand to the three women while turning back to the TV.

"Pay them their dues and take out the trash. And tell all the members of my guild branch to prepare for departure immediately."

The butler nodded.

"May I inquire where you’re going, Mr. Grant?"

The butler asked this question curiously, but before Tobias could answer, the newscaster on the TV spoke:

[The recent happenings around the city have led many people to ask questions about what really occurred after the assessment in the SMD building and what prompted the sudden appearance of the dragon in the city. But amidst all this, the most prominent question seems to be: Where is Jason Marc?]

Tobias clicked his tongue and turned away from the TV. He walked past the stunned naked women and began making his way up the stairs before he spat out a response.

"We’re going to Riverdale."

...

[Greenville]

[The Main Headquarters of the BloodRaven Guild]

"So it begins."

In the darkened chapel of the BloodRaven Guild’s headquarters, Kateraina Ford bowed her head to the crucifix before her and joined her hands in prayer. She had just been told by one of her maids about the incident that happened in Riverdale and how a dragon was seen flying over the city.

Katarina was not surprised when she heard the name Jason Marc in relation to the incidents! In a way, Katarina always had a suspicion that Jason Marc was the one she had been waiting for all this time. There had been many people who had the potential to become the King, but none of them had lived up to that potential.

Jason Marc was the only one who didn’t seem to be slowing down even as time passed. If there was ever going to be a King, then it would be him.

"What is my brother doing?"

Katarina spoke to the maid that was still standing behind her, and the woman spoke with her head bowed.

"He is readying his guild branch and heading to Riverdale. I believe he plans to attack Jason Marc."

Katarina let out a shuddering breath. She wasn’t surprised that her brother was already getting ready for an attack. He was blindly devoted to her, and ever since she told him about the appearance of a King, he had been trying everything in his power to ensure they never rose. But Katarina didn’t know if it would be enough. Her brother was strong, but he didn’t have enough power to stand up to Jason Marc.

The best course of action now would be for Katarina herself to go and help Tobias in his attack and make sure that Jason Marc was taken care of properly. But the mere thought of going out into the world made Katarina shudder in fear. There were very few things that she feared more than being amongst other people. Very few.

’All I can do is supply him with as much support as possible.’

This thought crossed Katarina’s mind, and she nodded internally to her own words. She didn’t even consider for a second that she was leaving her only brother to face off against one of the most dangerous men in the world. The only thing she was worried about was her own safety and preserving her life.

Katarina turned to the maid behind her and told her to provide the names of everyone who was going to Riverdale with Tobias. She was going to make sure to provide them with more support so that their base stats would get a significant boost. The maid bowed and immediately went to do as she was told.

...

[Outskirts of New Jersey]

A shadow moved across the city at a quick pace while staying out of sight of any wandering civilians. The shadow slithered past the large Orange Gate that was still open on one side of the city and made its way towards the other side of the city where there were fewer people wandering about. It reached an empty alleyway and slithered towards one of the walls before two figures slowly emerged from the ground.

Riyala looked around with wide eyes as she wondered where they were. She didn’t expect Jason to suddenly pull her into the shadows since she had no idea he could use an ability like that, and Riyala remembered that the assassins had used her exact same ability against her and Gina earlier. Did Jason somehow learn the skill just from seeing them do it once, or did he gain it by killing one of the assassins?

Riyala was undeniably curious about what Jason’s ability really was, but she could tell that this was not the time to bring up something like that. Riyala turned to look at Jason and she felt her heart thump in her chest when she saw the intense look on his face! Jason was staring at the wall in front of them with an intensity that she had never seen before, and she felt her heart going out to him in sympathy! Riyala knew that Jason was truly hurt by what had happened and she couldn’t help but feel guilty for bringing such misfortune to the people that had helped her!

"Stay close to me."

Riyala suddenly jumped in surprise when Jason spoke, and she looked up to see him giving her a curious look. Riyala quickly nodded to tell him that she understood, and Jason nodded back before he put his hand out and called on one of the Phantom Subordinates.

Yulyv, the leader of the phantoms that had attacked Gina and Riyala, emerged from Jason’s Alternate Dimension and immediately fell to one knee in front of Jason respectfully. Jason glanced at Yulyv’s tab and saw that Yulyv was just a Pawn Rank III subordinate.

——

[Phantom]

[Pawn Class Rank III]

[Upgrade Points: 0/20]

[Upgrade Limit: Rook Class Rank III]

[MP: 1500]

——

His stats were similar to what the boss of a Red Gate would have, and he also had the same upgrade limit. Jason thought he would feel a surge of anger rising from inside him the moment he saw Yulyv’s face, but there was nothing there at all. Jason knew that Yulyv was nothing but a loyal dog now, so there was no need for him to be angry at his property.
