Dominatrix System

Chapter 167: Timing

Finding an inn and washing was easy, and I was ready. I hid under a cloak carrying all my gear. At this point in time, holding onto my sadist's whip was a liability I could not control until I had more gear. I needed new and powerful weapons if I wanted to change out. I would need to special order weapons from someone or find something better. Maybe I could find something better in the Demon lands, but there was no way at this moment I wasn't going to be holding onto the best weapon I had.

Now was starting to spark the end of my time here in the Empire for the foreseeable future. I would be in trouble if everything didn't at least go well. I needed to disappear with as much as possible, leaving only businesses behind to fund my operations when I returned. It would be spotty at best, and it was unfortunate that there were no banks in this world where I could easily store cash. The System would fix that for me, and I took a deep breath thinking about that as I didn't know how to handle it.

I jumped out of the room's window that I cleaned myself in. I easily landed on the ground and pulled my hood up, ensuring no one could see who I was. I kept my head down, joined the crowd of workers just switching shifts, and moved to the meeting point, hoping the meeting with the Necromancers Guild would be fruitful. If it wasn't, then I would be in the dark about when to depart. That was the thing I couldn't accept; I needed to be in the schedule of whatever these necromancers were planning.

I arrived at the warehouse without much problem, moved into it, and set up some enchantments in a corner. I didn't want to do something big, so I only enchanted that corner to make a bigger move and to make it a little more difficult for people to see me. I just waited in the corner relaxing while four robed figures showed up. I slowly got up and stood waiting for a moment when one of the people talked.

"The person isn't here yet?" A woman's voice asked.

"Shut up," A robed man quickly replied as he looked around, "She could be here already."

That was all, and they remained silent, and I got up and walked out of my corner. All four of them almost jumped as I walked in front of them without making a sound. "We are meeting here because I want to hear the Necromancer Guild's plans for this city and maybe work with you," I told them flatly, letting my voice fall down a pitch or two to make myself sound more gender-fluid.

I could tell my entrance scared them a little as they realized I could have attacked without them even noticing. Then someone spoke with an overly masculine voice, "We have told you that we have large plans in place, and you don't need to know them." He said.

I rolled my eyes, but they couldn't see that, and I spoke up, "I know that you have almost an army of undead probably in various parts of the City and I believe you are going to attack the City as a whole while the Army is still at the border. I have been noticing Gangs leaving the City, and I don't know if you have been talking to other gangs other than the Bloody Candies in hopes of something. But I do not know your goals, but I have some of my own, and they have changed to be more in line with yours." I told them, and I scoffed. "You can either accept my help or take my vengeance when I run counter to you if you don't take my help."

Silence quickly took over our talks, and they looked at each other. I knew I was coming out strong, and they didn't seem to take it seriously. Still, they turned to me and asked after several minutes of looking at each other. "We do have plans, but they have nothing to do with the major gang movements. Our focus is more on the noble district. What do you mean most of the other gangs have been leaving the City?"

"I mean that someone is making a move. If it isn't you, then either someone else knows what you have planned, or something big is going to happen." I told them. I didn't want to tell them, though, and I would keep it to myself because I was fairly sure that it was Sherry pulling the stops to capture me. I didn't like thinking things were about me, and I probably was a narcissist, but I also knew that the world didn't revolve around me. What I did know was that everything started when I captured Missa. I turned her into Melony, and that failed capture seemed to set off many things at once. The once not-so-peaceful City turned into a peaceful city like the calm before the storm.
