Dominatrix System

Chapter 168: Baroness's Information

I arrived back at the headquarters and sat down in the room. I didn't have to wait long for Cassandra to join me, and she sat down quickly.

"Things are going to start moving quickly, as we both know," I told her as she sat down, "You know it, and I know it, so I will not bore you with some of the smaller details. I need you to have a couple of the gang members create a diversion in another part of the City. Use ones that are expendable and hopefully in need of punishment. If they die, it is fine, but they cannot be captured so that they know it was you." I told her, "I have something planned for the City Lords manor as a distraction in the coming days and to finish things off there. That will create some serious trouble in the noble district and allow them to do whatever it is that they are looking for. Also, before I forget, make sure we are giving the corpses away for free from now on." I told her as I stretched out my claws and looked at them.

"I see; what did you receive in exchange?" Cassandra asked politely, but I could hear curiosity,

"Two things, and honestly," I said with a wicked grin, "They are the only two things that matter to us. Timing and minions," I told her. I could see her confusion and continued, "I will get Necromancers with me at the docks that I plan to tell that they have been abandoned and hopefully take with me. Whatever the Necromancer guild is doing, something is going to come of it. With the number of Corpses, we have sold them, and now we are also seeing gangs moving outside the City. No one has told us anything, so that means they either have their own information source or they are being paid to waiting for something." Cassandra nodded then her eyes narrowed.

"Your thinking that the military is going to respond faster than normal?" Cassandra asked, and I shrugged.

"Maybe," I replied, "But there is something else going on, and I think this city is about to explode." Then I chuckled, "You know what is a little funny, Cassandra?" I said, looking at her, "I don't even know the name of this stupid City. I am here fighting in it and, at one point, to take it over, and I don't even know the name of this City."

Cassandra chuckled lightly, "Not many use the name of the City." Cassandra replied and leaned back, "It is simpler than you think, too, since it is called River town, and the City lord has never technically changed it. So people think it throws people don't really call it River town. Instead, they just call it the City, and most people tend to forget the name. I learned it in one of the books I used to read on the area's history. Still, it is one of those facts that I bet most children and people born here might die before ever learning."

That was a surprising little piece of history, and I looked at her a little dumbfounded for the reason. Instead, I shook my head and stood. "It is time for me to go. Noon will be the timing of their attack on the noble district, so we must act an hour ahead of them. When we strike, it will be to bring as many guards to those locations as possible. I now need to ensure my gift to the dumbass who started this mess is suitably large enough for her ego." I finished with a large Sadistic smile, and Cassandra looked at me with a smile of her own.

"Mistress," Cassandra said, standing up and bowing her fluffy brown ears, flopping a little as she did so. "Bring death to our enemies and make them fear us. We will leave this conflict the largest winners."

Her tone made it a statement, and I shook my head. "We will not be the winners in this battle, Cassandra, in any way, shape, or form. We are spending our limited resources so that we may gather more in the future. When I come back after all of this is over, I expect to see the Bloody Candies owning at least half, if not more, of this City." I told her and saw the determination in her gaze as I told her this. "I expect a lot from a sociopath like yourself with the ability to act as well as you do. Sometimes I even find myself almost believing you. So do your best and make sure that the Empire's underground becomes ours."
