The Conquerors Path-Novel

Chapter 208-Plans For The Future

I would need to be cautious and careful as I move forward, well I am thankful that I have Alex and the rest, while I run around chasing after the capture targets they make sure that my factions growing well, normally it's not quite good as there's a huge chance that the control of the faction might be lost from my hands but here all of them are indebted to me and have no desire to take anything from me

"Good, everything seems to be in order"

I finally spoke after looking through the reports, seeing it all of them smiled but I wasn't done as I spoke to Alex

"How's Leonardo doing in the faction?"

Hearing it the smile on some of them froze before which Alex coughed and spoke

"Cough....well he's doing quite well, all the missions that were given to him had been handled well, he's also a slowly climbing the ranks, though he seems to be a bit infatuated with Elda"

As Alex spoke he gave me a hidden look from which I understood some parts of the problem, actually after he had joined I always kept a small eye on him, after all, I did have a mission to make things harder for him, hence whenever he would be doing a mission or working for success, my men would be there in the dark causing him small problems

In fact, even Alex was in on it, he was the only one among the ones gathered here that don't mind doing some 'questionable' things, as he doesn't give a fuck about it, he was even making problems from the background making things tough for Leonardo in the faction when I wasn't here, after all, I have some powerful woman to chase after

Not only that with the help of Clara and some hidden means I was able to reduce the time that Sonia and he spend together, but overall things are also going on a unique and questionable path, heck there were times that Leonardo had 'coincidentally' met with many capture targets and if it wasn't for my intervention they would be friends by now

The weirdest thing here was that things were going in a different direction than the game, scenarios that weren't in the game was taking place, it was as if the world was trying to get Leonardo together with the girls, though I wasn't confused much after all this is the real world things would not always go my way and I have already planted the seeds to deal with it

Thinking till here the image of Shira appeared in mind, I haven't forgotten about her, it was just that I was first looking at things from behind the scenes, I first want to know why she said all she did and from the things that were coming to light I could see that many things that were hidden in the dark were coming to light, even with my resources it's getting hard to get these details

'Sigh.....things are getting more and more complicated'

Soon I shook off my thoughts as I looked at all of them who were waiting for me to get out of my thoughts, smiling at them I spoke

"That's good, it means that he has talent, he would be useful in the coming challenges, as for the thing with my sister? leave it, she's not a little girl that always needs my protection, she would know how to deal with it"

Hearing it all of them nodded their head, soon my eyes trailed over Rina, Sana, and Emma, who are capture targets, albeit minor ones, even Zora is among them, they are all B, C, and D rank difficulty targets, the toughest one among them was Emma, who we needed to save at least three times, after which we needed to fight against her brother Mark to again his recognition

Even for Rina and Sana, their story was that in the dessert they were found by the lion Prince who took them as his slaves making them work for him, our job here was to save them heroically and provide support and unshakable faith while winning their hearts, they were all easy and quite common, the only annoying part was the time it would take for it all, so I had jumped to the front and won them

Even for Zora, it would be the arc in which she would hire Leonardo as a mercenary to pick some materials as they travel to a dangerous zone where they undergo trials and adventures where she would finally fall in love with him, right now Rina, Sana and Emma are in love with me, I am sure of that

While Zora feels admiration and gratitude towards me, though I could see that she has a small crush on me, it wasn't at the level of love yet, only the other three have 100% love towards me, though the three haven't spoken to me about it, till now only Mika and Rika have, thinking about them my eyes turned towards them both, who gave me a wink when no one saw

I smiled at it, right now I would focus my attention on them before dealing with the other three unless they make a move now I would wait, at the same time I would be making sure that Leonardo won't make an 'accidental' meeting with them, all in all, it would be a busy thing to deal with, it would have to be easier if I could just kill of Leonardo, he looks like a good guy and all but if it came to my life I won't hesitate to cut his head off

'Sigh....the things I do for survival'

"Oh!..... Austin I forgot to tell you that the Crown prince of the Orizon Empire, Von Vizoin Plane, wishes to meet you"

Alex spoke breaking me out of my thoughts, hearing his name my mind flashed reeling in all the information I knew about him, among them the most important information was that he was in love with Elda! looking toward Alex I spoke

"When does he want to meet?"

"He's message said that he would appreciate it if he was able to meet you as soon as possible"

"I see.....did he want to meet me as Austin the elder brother of Elda or Austin Lionheart the ruler of the faction?"

My question was laced with seriousness and Alex responded to it with the same seriousness

"He wishes to meet you as the faction leader"

Hearing it I stayed silent for a moment, all of them in the room focused on me as they waited for my verdict, soon after several seconds I spoke

"We will meet them, set up a meeting with them in two days, lets's see what he wants to talk about"

"Okay"

Alex nodded his head, after which I discussed some more things after which everyone started to leave, seeing it I spoke to Amon

"Amon you wait behind, let the others leave"

Everybody nodded their head as they left, soon it was the both of us in the room, looking directly into his cold serious eyes, I leaned back into the chair as I threw a document into the table and spoke

"Here you go Amon, the last person responsible for the cause of your families death is in this folder"

And as soon as I finished speaking a wave of bloodlust invaded the room like a tide
