Chapter 44: Cleaning...

--- Chapter 44 ---

Dragon Nest. An organization that overrules the new continent far away from the Douluo Continent, having over a hundred thousand members after 3.5 years of rapid progression. Some might think this was slow, and some believed it was too fast, but they grew and evolved tremendously under pressure and only lost in quantity against other factions like the Sun and Moon Empire.

However, like any other organization in this universe, Dragon Nest had some pests that leeched off everyone's effort and hard work without even batting an eye. It's not really out of the expectation to end like this, considering the organization's soaring growth speed.

It's partially Huo Yuhao's fault because he miscalculated Dragon Nest's recruitment. Since there is no "clear." requirement, Dragon Nest recruited more members than the organization could handle, leading to some people becoming entitled to their needs. And these people aren't just annoying. They are smart enough to hide among Dragon Nest's members.

"They live long enough." Huo Yuhao commented while standing on the Dragon Nest's headquarters, Trisakti. He watched the main base with his blue eyes and smiled because everything would be over today.

A purple flash appeared beside Huo Yuhao, revealing Liu Mei in her usual secretary outfit. She handed a few sheets of paper with people's names that don't get recognized by Evo as Dragon Nest's members.

"Young lord." Liu Mei lowered her head politely. "It is the list of people that don't match your data."

Huo Yuhao scanned the papers and muttered, "The number is growing quite a lot. There are 9000 of them now, mostly from the East Coast line, huh? Good job, Mei."

"It's nothing, young lord. I'm surprised that you could find them this way." Liu Mei returned naturally. Higher Ups know about the "Rats." problem within the Dragon Nest, but they can't solve it "completely." because of the odd relations among the members.

"I just found the solution this morning." Huo Yuhao smiled at her playfully. He explained his brief plan to Liu Mei and watched her face turn into a solemn look. Even though Liu Mei didn't like violence, it was always effective in this situation.

"Gather them all on Jaya's Peak. I'll be waiting there."

"If any of them asked, the reason for the sudden gathering is last month's reward distribution. You'll personally give them another Life Force enhancing pill under my order."

Liu Mei nodded and replied, "I'll do it immediately, young lord."

She disappeared from her position and left purple lightning behind. Huo Yuhao whistled and created a wormhole to Jaya's Peak, the highest mountain on the Dragon Nest's base, in the southern part of the Great Waterfall Mountain Range.

Huo Yuhao leaned on the tallest tree and waited for the pest group to enter the predator's den. He seemed to fall asleep, letting Kenbunshoku Haki take control and overflowing all his senses.

It didn't even take a while as a group of people of various ages arrived at Jaya's Peak, looking around with confusion because no Liu Mei was welcoming them. Huo Yuhao glanced at them and asked Evo the last question.

"Evo, Dragon Nest's Management System doesn't consider them members. Why so?"

[Exactly 9613 people aren't considered Dragon Nest's members because of their characters so far. As you know yourself, the majority of them are nothing but leeches on Dragon Nest's resources, trying to destroy the organization from the inside]

[Do you want me to show their offenses so far?]

[3200 of them are rapists, all victims and evidence have been "completely." destroyed before others could discover it]

[1002 of them have murdered Dragon Nest's member under the premise of Spirit Beast's attack]

[4000 of them have deliberately created a conflict among the member to destroy your reputation, which Qianye Ying'er have dealt passively with her influence]

[1411 of them have shown hostility toward you before even joining the Dragon Nest]

[And finally, All of them have been stealing resources without contributing anything to the Dragon Nest] Evo finished the report with a monotonous tone.

...

...

"Haha..." Huo Yuhao laughed in defeat because there were some crimes he didn't know about until today. He sighed because he was such a horrible leader, but part of him realized this wouldn't happen with a strict recruitment policy. A simple character check should be enough to determine one's quality, but he was busy making this organization grow.

Since He was reincarnated as Huo Yuhao and accepted Evo as his system, Huo Yuhao always thought he could achieve more things because Upgrade Function gave him a wide variety yet almost infinite possibilities. And He failed to realize when establishing a big organization like Dragon Nest, the lives of others become part of his responsibility.

Huo Yuhao remembered Naga once told him a story about a random event and ended with, "You know, Yuhao... You're too mature for your "Own." good. I know your soul is older, but that doesn't change anything because kids should act like a kid sometimes. "

"How old are you again? 29? Yeah, that's fucking young compared to me."

"When you decide to make a group, remember to name it Dragon Nest and treat your subordinate well because even with the weakest push, they could make you achieve something higher."

"Oh yeah, where am I again? Ah, let's continue the story of the amazing Poke-Champion, Naga. When this great me was on the chunin exam-." The annoying dragon ended his advice abruptly, which caused Huo Yuhao to smirk.

"Emotional, huh?" Huo Yuhao suddenly summoned the Chain of the Heavens and created a barrier around Jaya's Peak. He jumped down from the tallest tree and alerted everyone on the ground.

"Young lord?"

"What's he doing here??!"

"Oh my god!"

"Did he find out already?"

"Bruh, run!"

"Tch, the tyrant is here."

Huo Yuhao stared at them and indifferently commented, "Don't even think about running away, you pests. I'm here to wipe all of you from Dragon Nest."

"Huh??!"

They were shocked when hearing Huo Yuhao's statement and felt enormous pressure coming from him. Some immediately tried to run away from the Jaya's peak, but Huo Yuhao placed over 50 Sakura Sealing Arrays around this place. Their only option is to fight him until the end.

"Bronzy, come out." Huo Yuhao's shadow expanded and stretched into a dragon-like shape.

ROAR!

The Bronze Monarch's Shadow roared on Jaya's peak and looked down on the pest. He stood behind Huo Yuhao and released a faint bronze-colored hue.

"Pests should die..." A predator growl escaped the dragon's shadowy mouth.

The woman's face was sliced by Failure, causing a limp body to fall on the ground. Her lips french-kissed the greatsword's edge intensely, and she died.

"Aih, that's Failure's first kiss. What a waste." Huo Yuhao commented indifferently.

"Hmm? Don't worry. You guys would get your turn." He turned around and saw the rest of the pests watching him with horror on their faces. He began to kill them slowly with a maniacal method one could imagine.

Evo's notifications have become white noise in Huo Yuhao's head. His entire body thoroughly was drenched with blood and dirt from smashing the ground a few times. He stopped beside the last pest, a white-haired woman in her late thirties.

"Phew, that was tiring." He sat beside her casually.

The woman trembled and opened her mouth, "Y-You monster... How could you do something like this? Are you even human?!"

"MONSTER!"

"YOU'RE A MURDERER!"

"A FUCKING MONSTER WHO MURDERED PEOPLE!!"

[Name: Tang Wu'er]

[Age: 37]

[Race: Human]

[Body Counts: 300]

[Description: A hypocritical drama queen]

Huo Yuhao grabbed her chin and commented, "You say a lot for a person with 300 body counts. Woman, do you think this world is unfair."

"Yes, it's FUCKING unfair."

"I killed people and bore the sin myself. What about you? Did you ever feel guilty?" He approached her frightened face and stared her dead in the eyes.

"I-I have never killed anyone-!"

"ARRRRGGGGHHHH!" A purple flame covered the woman's head and burned her into ash. However, it doesn't kill her instantly because Thunderflame would burn even more according to one's karma. Chaotic Purgatory Dragon isn't just a title.

[You have killed a traitor]

"9613..." Huo Yuhao sighed in relief. He seemed to lose his vision and felt some people hugging him.

"It's okay now. Mom is here." A gentle whisper entered his ears.

"Mhm, everything will be alright, my lord." Another familiar voice assured him from the right.

"Sleep, Yuhao. I'll handle the rest." A commanding yet worried voice echoed.

Huo Yuhao gradually melted into Huo Yun'er warm hug and fainted because of the excessive usage of Spiritual Energy. He has been manifesting Haoshoku Haki in the form of fear to every traitor and makes feel dread that comes from his willpower. It's a pure spiritual attack that could make one's mind go crazy by merely making contact with it.

"Everything will be okay, Hao'er/Yuhao/My Disciple."

"Good night..." Huo Yuhao muttered while closing his eyes. The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
