Chapter 284: The pitiful life of labor slaves

Chapter 284: The pitiful life of labor slaves

In the middle of the night, I received a text from Yu Mei-ren so I had to wake up my new foster sister with the excuse that I need to use the bathroom.

This building has multiple spatial barriers that would cause difficulties even for an inexperienced system user so getting out of here would be difficult without triggering the alerts, luckily I have two of the best spatially skilled entities in the multiverse, Abby and BB.

I first brought Envy back to my side. She keeps pretending to be the idiot who wanted to have the milf Tang Wan.

She's been acting like she's become a coward due to the trauma of watching an Outer God fight a strong system user so no one noticed that she entered a Space Gate to appear next to me in the bathroom.

Envy became me and I ordered him to just sleep next to Yui without doing anything in particular, just sleep. Envy is very good at imitating my personality so she is more reliable than Nyaruko to impersonate my identity.

After preparing a substitute, Abby beamed me out of Char Siu's main base.

Nyaruko keeps watching anime in the room Yui assigned her so normally it would be weird that there are two Harem Kings in different places, but system users are fickle and unpredictable entities so it's normal if they don't always follow the rules. N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

Apparently, some system users use clones of themselves to do multiple tasks, including satisfying their harems... Pathetic.

Now I have the appearance of the King of the Harem and I am walking towards a luxurious hotel with a European name.

In the supernatural world of Gaia, the European countries work as a single group where the highest authority is divided into two groups, the Vatican and the Sorcery Association.

While the Vatican is backed by Western Heaven (and possibly Paradise), the Sorcery Association does not have a good relationship with deities or other types of Guardians. They have the mindset that humans should protect the world and not trust other races, even though there are non-humans within that association.

Racists being hypocrites, what a novelty...

Due to ideological differences, historical conflicts, and clash of interests there is a friendly-hostile relationship between the church and the magi.

Both groups collaborate to defend Europe, loot resources from other countries, and face enemies that threaten humanity. They are kind of like the good guys with tendencies towards blackmailing and plundering resources.

Due to this quest for resources, the two supernatural forces have been in conflict with other countries, including Japan.

Japan and European forces have had a strong conflict since fifteen years ago several organizations joined together to destroy an Ancient One that invaded Japan.

At that time most supernatural organizations wanted to capture Cthulhu to analyze his body for power. There were also groups that wanted to destroy the Ancient One with the help of the Dogs of the Apocalypse that are capable of destroying souls.

As the groups discussed what to do with the Ancient One, Mr. Ichijo did something that earned him the hostility of various supernatural organizations, he sealed the Ancient One in Mount Fuji in such a way that the other organizations could not touch Cthulhu.

The organizations couldn't deal with Mr. Ichijo as the Ichijo family gets preferential treatment from Alaya so they could only leave Japan empty-handed.

Although Mr. Ichijo has managed to lessen conflicts with other groups through long years of negotiations, the wizards and the church continue to bear resentment towards the Ichijo family.

That doesn't mean they tried to kill Hero Luis. Even if Luis is the right-hand man of the heir to the Ichijo family, there will be no benefit to his death, on the other hand, when Luis is known to be Seiji then it will be a headache to leave Japan since the assassins will be after my head.

That's why Mr. Ichijo doesn't leave his city, he has more enemies than friends.

Anyway, I've already resigned myself that the only way to save this world is to destroy and rebuild every major government in this World so I can only prepare for another world war.

I left my pessimistic thoughts for now and entered the hotel.

"Hello!" – I smiled animatedly at the two women in front of me while totally ignoring the men who were looking at me with suspicion, disdain, hostility, curiosity, and other irrelevant emotions.

"I'm sorry to ask the sir to come to see us at this hour" – Koyanskaya smiled professionally.

Beside her was Yu Mei-ren with a calm, almost indifferent demeanor.

I smiled friendly. – "Two beautiful women wanted to see me so I could not refuse~ Also, do not be so formal with me, I am just a normal guy looking to enjoy life"

Koyanskaya maintained a professional demeanor, though her smile held a subtle seduction. – "Maximus, please join us for a conversation, later I will show the hospitality that we NFF Services can offer~"

Maximus... Damn Nyaruko!

Whatever.

Nine Fox Foundation, abbreviated to N.F.F or NFF Services. It is a security company with high levels of development in technology and magic for which they have received great recognition despite the fact that it was founded less than a year ago.

Mr. Ichijo has been investigating this company for a long time as he finds it suspicious, but now I know that this company grew due to two important points.

1) Beast VII did the same thing I am doing with the Ichijo family, she provided resources and technology to strengthen that company.

2) Koyanskaya is an intelligent and cunning woman. She may not be the woman with the highest IQ I've ever met, but she's in the top 10 most cunning and manipulative women I've ever met. I like her.

Koyanskaya is the full owner of that company, but most people think that she is one of the main shareholders and still has bosses with more authority so it will not be strange if some people think that the bosses of NFF Services gave her the order to seduce me to be a powerful pawn.

The man shook his head and sighed. – "We have a misunderstanding, I want to know your abilities to understand to what extent it is acceptable to negotiate, but now I am sure that you are strong... I would appreciate it if you could suppress your presence or the children will faint"

The man looked at the younger wizards who were having trouble breathing and at this rate could develop mental injuries.

In addition to adults who looked like combat veterans, there were also young men and women who looked like students rather than official magicians.

Did the wizards think of bringing students of magic to gain experience during the unfolding disaster in China?

Well, no doubt several students will die, but the survivors will gain a lot of experience in the supernatural world. It is not a bad idea.

I changed my Concept to 'Protagonist' and frowned. - "Negotiate?"

The man nodded as he took a deep breath to catch his breath. He has the great mental strength and was able to withstand my presence, but he still feels dizzy and is struggling to keep his composure.

"Please, let's talk in private" – The man made me a respectful gesture to go to a meeting room.

"I assure you it's not a trap, we really need you to listen to us" – Koyanskaya acted as if she was sincerely supporting magicians, but I can see that she only has contempt for humans.

I smiled wryly and went back to my friendly attitude. – "Saying that something is not a trap sounds like a trap"

"How about a honey trap?~" – Koyanskaya smiled seductively without caring about the people around us.

I smiled like a glib-minded idiot. – "Sounds good, let's talk in private when we finish this"

Koyanskaya winked at me and nodded. – "Deal done~"

Only Koyanskaya and the man entered the meeting room with me.

As the door closed, the man activated several barriers to isolate the sound and prevent eavesdropping with supernatural abilities. The surprising thing is that these privacy barriers can even cause a little interference with the messaging function on my system. I cannot underestimate the tricks of the inhabitants of Gaia.

"This will be a very important conversation so I hope you can sign this" – The man handed me a Contract.

[System Notification: The skill 'Paranoia' and the title 'Silly Jack' have not detected cheating in the contract. It is safe to view and accept the contract]

The Contract was simple, a confidentiality agreement not to reveal to other entities the information I am about to hear.

What's interesting is that this low-level Contract has Lucifer's seal of approval, but it has no connections to Hell so it's a product that wizards got through a trade.

At the bottom was the signature of Koyanskaya and the man. Now I know that he is called Waver Velvet and his title seems to be Lord El-Melloi II... I don't care.

What surprises me is that nobody finds the name Koyanskaya strange, but whatever, there are many strange and stupid names.

I signed the Contract and nonchalantly sat on a sofa. I pretended to open my inventory and then pulled out a bucket of buttered popcorn. – "Okay, start talking"

The man sighed as if he saw an annoying animal and sat down in front of me.

"Don't you have caramel popcorn?" – Koyanskaya sat next to me and took some popcorn as if we had a close relationship.

"Seriously? Caramel?" – My mouth trembled.

I like sweet flavors, but I hate caramel popcorn.

Koyanskaya shrugged with a smile. – "I like sweets~"

I smiled wryly and took out caramelized popcorn for Koyanskaya. Tsubaki likes these things so I have several buckets in my Rasen Dimension.

"Yay, you're the best~" – Now Koyanskaya is acting like a spoiled child, she is checking my reactions to different personality types to check my tastes so she can seduce me.

She is adorable, not because of her spoiled-girl performance, but because of her perfect acting ability and ability to accurately analyze micro-expressions. She will be a good addition to my harem as long as she doesn't cause too much trouble.

The man sighed as he massaged his forehead, he really seems to hate carefree childish brats.

I sympathize with him, taking care of idiotic brats is a headache.

Author's Note:

Doing social work in a marginalized community gives a certain moral sense of satisfaction, but it is mentally exhausting trying to emotionally help people who were literally forgotten by God...

Anyway, a hug, I love you <3
