IDOLIZING CHAOS

The Mastermind

“Lauren! get out there with the girls now! Did you not hear what Young Master Fredrick said?"

“Yeah! don't be so stubborn. He promised to take 'good care' of you."

"Ling Fe! After Young Master Aeries bought you with such great price but still made you free as you are now... You should have, at least a small bit of guilt at what you're doing."

“hmmp! Don't be stupid Lauren, He was going to use us just as the others did. Showing some goodwill was just a ruse. Use a carrot to bait them, use the tail of a scorpion to rein them."

“I don't believe it! He has us all branded with his Soul seal. Don't you think It'll be stupid to go that far?"

“Don't try to waste time... no one is going to save you."

"Bastard! I hope you all die quick" Lauren's eye reddened noticeably.

A while after Aeries left, Chaos started brewing in the capital.

First was a clash between the children's turf tournament the King held.

Everyone noticed they were divided into two factions, Red and Purple.

Seeing the children with different sashes drew assuming attention from everyone... but when the first child was brutally beheaded even when he admitted defeat, turmoil appeared in the capital.

.

The dead child was from a small House, but the Master of that House had made several connections throughout the years. Pulling on countless threads, he finally got the upper houses working...

Just some hours after, the parents of the murderer were massacred and slashed to pot meat.

.

The unrest grew to tremendous heights when the Princes finally took action.

The First Prince had brought some of his guards and hidden powerhouses assigned to him, this was a perfect opportunity to keep his brothers on a leash. One that he wasn't going to waste.

Striding with powerful steps, he rode throughout the streets, forcefully calming the chaos at the cost of several innocent lives.

But his plan had been compromised even before he started. The Second Prince had accumulated support from numerous Houses and even the Royal Guards. This quelled The First Prince's triumphant march towards successful domination.

But that wasn't all, The First Prince used his greatest card at the last possible moment... His Tier!

He was the first prince. That alone was paramount to being the head of the family...

This made many neutral houses move to support team Red, added to the other irrelevant princes, their guards, and connections... The First Prince had enough to contend against the Second Prince a few hours later.

.

Team Red's message was...“Dye the capital Red to finally get rid of all external forces, and make The Capital know true peace for the first time. Everyone, please cooperate."

The second prince, Team purple was even more direct, “Weigh the scale, Know which to bid on... Heads or tail."

.

Regardless of the small details and gore in between, Most houses chose a side to aid either secretly or openly when they had inner information about the health of the current King.

“Why are you still speaking with them? With your current cultivation, a slight push would do the deal. Heft all the girls, we'll use them as an exchange for that Artifact and for safety out of this place."

Currently, the house Aeries had bought in his haste was in their own turmoil, Outside was a good-looking Young Man holding a fan and having several guards flanking his mount.

.

This boy was no outsider and could even be called Aeries Friend. He was Fredrick Manklem, the main culprit that introduced the previous Aeries into a world of debuarancy, but even though Aeries had called him 'boss' several times, his purpose for coming at this chaotic time had no piece of good to it.

The lascivious young man, seeing that Aeries had moved away and confirming the rumors that The one of Torres was presumably disowned; moved unfettered towards this house of slaves and spent the last four days coercing them to release the girls as a trade for the only tickect out of the Capital. According to him, the issue of Soul brand was no problem at all.

Now, all the girls had banded behind Lauren and were making their last chance against the proposing party.

"Don't make it difficult for both of us, move it Lauren!"

“You're all scum! We weren't deaf! we heard everything That Frederick said and therefore we know exactly why you people are so happy to drive us away!" One of the girls screamed in anger.

“At the end, all of you are only thinking with your fifth limb. Frederick has you tied at the tip of his fingers with just a sentence. So you all plan on having your way on us after he is done? should I say am not very much surprised?.

The other group consisted of men... entirely. Their eyes gleamed at the full body of the girls and they let their thoughts roam everywhere, "So what of it, this father don't believe he can't have you crying out after a few rounds... Right boys?" All of them sneered.

Previously there were some of the male slaves opposing them too, but since they had no use, they were immediately dealt with... leaving the girls defenseless.

.

*Creak*

“Oi!? How long do you want to waste this Young Master's time. Are the girls unwilling? what's my business, that's what I bought you guys for... or is my offer not enough?" Every became silent as the main culprit finally showed himself.

His eyes darted around and took full notice of the girls around... “Good... Such pretty little dolls all holed up here. How do you want me to sleep, knowing this. Huh?"

He flicked his sleeves and a space ring tumble out.

“You! Get in the carriage and strip your clothes. There's 20,000 Imperial gold in there. It'll all be yours after I've been satisfied.” His eyes fixed on Lauren.

.

She stared back without blinking, her lips curled to a smile... “Where did you take this ring out from... Could it be hidden in your armpit? Or maybe a special 'purse' on hour sleeves... I just can't tell."

“Its not. I took it by— You dare mock this King!?' Guards! best her till she can't walk anymore... then bring her to me. Let this serve as a warning to the rest."

*Slap!*

“Young Master would surely avenge us!" They all cried.

“Ptei! even if he were to come now, he'll only have to watch me having my wag with all of you, one by one."

“Oho? A mere Body foundation Cultivator trash talking me... I wonder where you got the guts...”

"Young Master!!!!?”
