Cara explained everything she knew.

At first it felt weird how Till had the guts to try and rape her, after all she was engaged to him . As the son of the late patriarch he could still destroy worms like Till whenever he felt like it.

But once he heard what she had to say he understood where his guts came from, Till had been awarded a golden grade village by the empire for helping soldiers conquer an orc settlement. A golden village order was slightly below a legendary one, third uncle would certainly overlook Till’s actions since he would need him .

“ Since you killed him, why dont you take his game launcher and keep the village for yourself. You could slowly gain power and become the patriarch “

He intended on doing so, in his past life many organisations started hunting people dumb enough to blabber that they had village orders . They took their launchers and re located with the village to hide, even though all the village progression was lost it was still better than nothing .

“ The game is yet to release an update where they link the village order with the player’s soul, so what you say could be done but I dont need it .

I am one of the seven players in the whole world who possesses a legendary grade village”

Cara did not know what that even was but seeing how he had gotten this powerful it must mean that it was something good .

“ I will give it to you, if you will follow my instructions and do as I say “

She was loyal to him not only because they were engaged but also because she had no choice, third uncle wanted her dead .

“ I will do as you say, you can trust me and all of my retainers who were vassals of the patriarch “

Apparently they had been living in a secret passage only known to his father and the second elder ( Cara’s father ) .

She was only caught recently by Jason while trying to assassinate the third elder, hence her current state !

“ Do you have enough food in there “

“ Enough to last all of us a month “

A month was enough for him to reach 3d stage and become the patriarch.

Sure, he could already use his powers in the real world but third uncle had soldiers with freaking machine guns, the fuck was his swift bullet gonna do against bazookas and AK- s .

Third stage warrior was enough for him to be invulnerable to human weaponry attacks , he would only make his move once reaching that state .

“ How many people are currently living in the secret passage and will they be loyal to me “

“ 5 of them are just maids while the other 7 are bodyguards left to me by my father . They were brought up as orphans by your dad so they will be loyal to you “

Thats all he needed to hear, he quickly stood up , picked the dead body and told her to follow him .

“ Swift Bullet “ 2X

He killed the two soldiers guarding the corridor, it was where he and the other heirs lived .

“ We will first get Till’s game launcher and go to the secret passage, dont forget to pick up the weapons “

she took the pistols from the dead soldiers while he placed the dead Till on the bed and took his game launcher .

They walked down the stairs and once they arrived at the servants restrooms, Cara pressed the wall and the secret passage opened .

“ Its weird how you know about this and I don’t “

“ Well my lord you werent the most well behaved child, khem ... the patriarch probably didnt feel the need to tell you I mean “

Yep, he would have totally filled the place with whores, he was quite spoiled back then !

They walked the passage for about 3 minutes before they saw some light, what first caught his eyes were 20 beds and boxes of food . The area was surprisingly large !

“ Stop right there, identify yourself “

A blonde tall man who looked about 25 years old pointed a knife at them .

Cara who was standing behind Jamie revealed herself and the atmosphere became peaceful.

‘ Identify yourself ‘

This guy sure watched a lot of movies he thought.

“ Lady Cara, where have you been ?

We thought something happened to you, we were so scared “

“ When you didnt show up for a whole week we assumed the worst, glad you are okay “

All of them started greeting her one after the other and Cara proceeded to explain things to them .

She had also been given the task to introduce Jamie to them since he really hated things like these, he just wanted to proceed with the plan before his uncle caught wind of Till’s death .

“ So you are telling me, that this is the young patriarch of our family . He was crippled but because of some game he now has powers and will get back the position of patriarch from the third elder “

Jamie was aware of how insane this must sound to them which is why he didnt fall prey to his urges that told him to kill this bastard for doubting him .

“ Will you be convinced if I prove it ? “

“ Yeah right , prove it haha . What are you going to do, shoot a beam at me “

That is exactly what he did, the purple beam hit the wall just an inch left of his head, Jamie loved the terrified look on his face and how quickly he shut up .

“ You see, I dont really need you but you do need me . She told me that you still remember your debts to my family, that was just to remind you of your duties and obligations you have .

Or do you not serve my family anymore? “

Truthfully speaking, they were cast away and forced to live like rats . Not wanting to be loyal to Jamie would be perfectly justified since the loyalty for him was what caused them all this suffering.

But these guys were not scum, they were trained and brought up by the family .

The word loyalty was engraved in their bones ever since they were babies .

The blonde guy stood up and calmly said:

“ What do you need us to do ? “

“ I need a month to reach the stage where I could take my position as the patriarch, and honestly speaking I dont need you to do anything for me .

I am here to give you an opportunity to be deserving of your name and duty, I am here to give you power “

“ How do you know that we wont betray you once you give us this power you speak of “

“ You may do so, it just wont hurt me .

You see I am under obligation to Cara as someone who is supposed to marry her .

I will give you the strength needed to assist her and probably me in the future “

He sat down on a bed and added .

“ Take it, or leave it ! Or even better, take it before I leave “

They gave each other a stare for a second, nodded at each other and agreed.

“ We await your orders, young master “

“ Two of you who are best at using guns will take these weapons “

Cara handed them over to them .

“ You are to guard me while I kill 7 family heirs on their sleep “

His wicked smile and cold eyes truly convinced them that they had made the right decision...

That night, a heavy massacre that marked the beginning of the third elder’s downfall took place .

7 branch family heirs were murdered right under third elder’s nose and their game launchers all stolen.

Suddenly, third elder started feeling that the support he currently head might not guarantee him the patriarch position.
