Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System

Chapter 407 Meeting At Night (Part 2)

While Daimon and the girls waited in the backstage, the usual scene of debauchery in Blaktr normally developed, the only difference is that the nobles were playing with each other, instead of causing trouble for girls who were sold as slaves, since all of them were taken in into the queen's shadow forces for training by Martha, with Annete's permission of course.

So, no one would notice that everyone in this room was currently under Daimon's control, Pablo also did his part as a lavish second generation and drank with his subordinates, waiting for the return of his mother and the other executives of Black Wave.

According to the countdown, when there were exactly ten minutes before Pablo's mother return, that tall slim guy with a bandana covering his lower face and neck, appeared, the hostesses which were ex-slaves freed by the queen, approached him and offered him "services", but the guy as always refused and just ordered some drinks.

Pablo was quite wary of that guy, he still has nightmares about the creature which was impersonating the subordinate of the Blackfin Duke, in part that is why he became so obedient towards Daimon, if such a monster like that was helplessly played with, by the silver haired youth, then wouldn't that make him an even bigger monster.

Like the saying goes, it's better to be in the hands of the demon than in its way, a few minutes later Pablo finally got the message he as waiting for, he took out his mirror plate and then made some signs to his subordinates.

It was the usual, the manager of Blaktr drank everyday in the presence of the VIP clients, then went to his office or left to do some errands, nothing suspicious.

But this time's routine was interrupted by a tall slim guy with a bandana covering his lower face and neck, who approached Pablo's group when he stood up from his seat.

"Are you perhaps, Pablo, the manager of Blaktr?", asked the bandana guy, his voice was slightly hoarse and rough, it was uncomfortable just to hear him.

Pablo raised an eyebrow, but he immediately received instructions from Daimon, who was watching everything behind the scenes with his infinity eyes.

'Follow that guy's act'.

Pablo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the plan which he perfectly memorized was being changed right now, unfortunately he could do nothing but obey, so he turned to see the bandana guy before saying in his usual haughty voice, worthy of a lavish second generation.

"That depends, who asks?".

The bandana guy seemed to relax, he then took out a ring and handed it to Pablo.

"I have a "request" I would like to personally discuss with a lady, I was informed that today is a good day for it".

Pablo looked into the ring, the lady the bandana guy was talking was his mother, and the request was naturally an assassination mission, as to why this guy knew she will be returning today, those who were involved in the underground scene and had enough money or have made big requests, to Black Wave before, were informed.

The ring contained the base fee for an assassination mission, to be personally taken by stronger assassin of this branch of Black Wave, in other words Pablo's mother, naturally the price will increase depending on the discussion that will take place, after saying the code words to get to meet her.

Pablo followed Daimon's instructions and smiled as he did in front of the important clients, that supported his mother's business.

"Sure, the owner will be here in couple of minutes, so you can wait with me in the conference room, please follow me", he said as he led the way towards the main private room.

The bandana guy nodded and then they went to the private room, once they were gone, Daimon made his last preparations and now it was just a matter of waiting, for all the pieces to land in their rightful places.

...

Inside the main private room, the waiters prepared a table with food and luxurious drinks, which is the rule every time the owner is discussing a job with an important client.

Pablo grabbed a cup, on the surface he was calm but, on the inside, he was dying out of anxiety, since the bandana guy was an unknown variant in the plan, unfortunately he was ordered to keep up the act by Daimon and he had no choice but to obey.

A couple of minutes later which for Pablo were like hours, an array appeared in a corner of the private room, no one was alarmed or anything, since this was the usual, the owner didn't live here unlike Pablo, she just came to visit from time to time when she had to accept a job, and it was done through an array that was installed in the main private room, exclusive for Pablo and his subordinates.

A portal appeared floating on the air, from which a group of five guys led by a woman came out, the atmosphere of the group wasn't exactly happy, but who would expect to see the strongest assassins of this sea's Black Wave to be happily smiling or something like that anyway.

The woman first noticed Pablo and the corner of her mouth slightly bent upwards, before she noticed there was a second person in the room, she removed the hood of her coat to reveal her face.

It was a woman who seemed to be on her early thirties, with gray hair and slightly pale skin, she was using a dark purple lipstick and wearing leather pants and leather armor over a white blouse, as one would expect from an assassin, she used light armor, as for her weapons she had a curved blade hanging from her waist, and a case of knives and small daggers around her right leg.

Her name is Olivia, and she is the leader of Black Wave in the Mermen Sea and an early stage Stellar ranked, as for the five guys who were following her, they were all peak Half Stellar ranks, and the ones who trained other assassins of Black Wave, something like vice-leaders, just like Pablo, though the latter got his position thanks to his mother only, since he is only an early stage Archmage.

Olivia inwardly frowned, she felt apprehensive towards the bandana guy who was sitting close to her son, but she kept her poker face and approached them, before she sat next to Pablo.

"I just returned from dealing with some personal matters, if you have an urgent request, I can appoint a reunion for tomorrow, since I need to catch up with the latest news of the kingdom", she said.

The bandana guy didn't show any signs of leaving, and instead he stretched his legs and put them over the table, tossing the plates of food which were previously placed there, to the ground.

The sound of plates breaking and the clear show of disrespect made the five vice-leaders frown, the immediately surrounded the bandana guy and aimed their weapons at his vitals, ready to kill him if he moved even one bit.

The bandana guy didn't seem to care about the current situation, he instead glared at Olivia before saying.

"And here I was thinking in which this place relied to dare go against my Lord and turns out, that it's only an early-stage Stellar rank and a few little half steps, that idiot of Barus must have gotten done in by you, or maybe you left another Stellar ranked behind, to protect your worthless offspring?".

Olivia and her subordinates were genuinely confused, the only Stellar ranked in the Black Wave of the Mermen Sea, was Olivia, what's more they had no clue of what this guy was talking about.

The bandana guy thought he was being mocked and then snorted, a black mist leaked out of his body as the pressure of a middle stage Stellar ranked flooded the room, sending the five vice-leaders flying backwards, with blood dripping out of their mouths, just the shockwave was enough to wound them.

Olivia on the other hand used her own pressure to protect both Pablo and herself, she seemed to have reached a realization after seeing that black mist too.

"So, the leader of the Bone Sea isn't loyal to his word, but don't believe you can come and do as you please in my own backyard", said Olivia, she unsheathed her sword and also took out one of the knives on the case that was wrapped around her thigh.

"Mekt, take Pablo out of here, then call all the Half Stellar personnel, we have to send a head back to that guy if he is trying to mess with us!", she shouted with a fierce expression.

One of the vice-leaders grabbed Pablo and then a portal opened for him, he surprisingly had the ability to use space shift, which is quite rare in Neptune.

Unfortunately, the bandana guy snapped his fingers and the black mist swallowed the portal before they could leave.

"Lord wanted you to join him and conquer this sea, but since you killed Barus, then you need a punishment, the mission I came with, is for you the leader of Black Wave to surrender to my Lord, then personally hand me an arm of your son and we'll call it even".

"Otherwise, I will beat you to submission and then torture your son to death just for fun!", he viciously said.

Pablo was outraged, no matter which option was chosen, he was going to suffer, and to make things worse, it was for something he didn't do.

'That Barus this guy is mentioning is probably that monster who was killed by young master, so that means...'.

"Mother, don't surrender, that guy is a monster, if he gets to have our necks in his hands, we'll all be killed and devoured at some point", said Pablo.

Olivia actually didn't seem to be surprised by her son's words, she instead nodded and beckoned to order two of her subordinates to protect Pablo.

"Yeah, I know, the leader of Black Wave in the Bone Sea also used that black mist and told us, that it was time to make an important decision to serve some shady guy, who will lead us to victory and give us strong powers".

"Naturally we thought he had gone crazy, but then that guy who used to be the weakest among the four leaders... cut the arm of the leader from the Elemental Sea and ate it before leaving, we tried to chase him, but he apparently awakened the capacity to travel through space too, so we made some plans and then ended the yearly meeting earlier, but it seems I was still one step too late".

The bandana guy laughed, since there was no point in keep hiding it, he teared the bandana apart, to reveal that he had no mouth, at least not on his face, but there was crack on the skin of his neck, from which spiked teeth could be seen.

"So, you have entered in contact with others huh, in that case you should know the gap between the followers of my Lord and you lowly mortals, accept my Lord's baptism and become one of us, or die!", he shouted.

Then his clothes and skin melted, to reveal his true appearance, it was a humanoid creature with an old bone-colored layer of skin, and a huge mouth which started on its neck and ended on his lower abdomen.

An ominous black mist was leaking out of his body, instead of mana, everyone but Olivia was having trouble breathing, the presence of the creature was enough to overwhelm them, to the point of despair.

"You'll all become my Lord's servants, soldiers to conquer the four seas hahaha!", with a roar the creature proposed to attack Pablo and the other weaker enemies, to leave Olivia for the end, but the smile on the mouth that occupied basically all his upper body, changed to terror, when the room was suddenly surrounded by a white castle.

But that wasn't all, the black mist was immediately suppressed by the large amount of light mana that suddenly flooded the whole room, and the creature felt fear of the pressure that fell onto it.

A portal appeared on the wall of the room, the black mist tried to swallow this one too, but the result was different this time, the mist that approached it was split into little pieces and then eliminated.

A silver haired masked youth, followed by a group of young girls, as well as an elderly woman, came out of the portal.

The situation took a 180° flip all of a sudden, making the creature grit its teeth.

"Who the hell are you, do you know who you are messing with!".

The masked silver haired youth, smirked as he saw the creature before saying.

"That is in fact the question I'm looking to answer today, leave only the upper part of his body, the rest is useless for us", he coldly said.

"No problem", the elderly woman nodded, then only within this room, the suffocating pressure of a maximum Stellar ranked descended, forcing the creature and everyone else, besides the newcomers, to the ground.

"Silver Guillotine", with those words, the creature was suddenly surrounded by light mana, which formed a silver-white sphere.

"Ahhh!", a pained scream could be heard coming from within the light sphere, once the spell disappeared, the result was in plain view for everyone, the creature was now missing its four limbs and the lower part of its body, also its skin was full of burnt patches and there was black smoke coming from his body.

Daimon nodded at the result, his supposition was right, whatever these creatures were, they were weak against light, and that helped him get a theory of why the Skelefiends who were under the influence of the scheming bastard, wanted to capture Jasmine.

Which probably was to threaten the strongest light affinity mage in Neptune, in other words to keep Aurora in check.

"Shall we get going, we have a meeting to attend after all", said Daimon, to which Aurora waved her hand as she said.

"Silver Chains", chains made out of light mana appeared all over the place and then restrained the creature which was knocked out for safety reasons, as well as Olivia and her subordinates.

Olivia saw that the chains didn't restrain her son and she glared at Pablo who sighed in response.

"I'm sorry, but I can explain... don't worry", though he said that, he knew that the following hours will decide whether everyone he knows lives or dies.
