《Marvel elixir: Rise of mutant empire》Chapter 4

" Burn the garden, young master " Sebastian asked in a very surprised voice.
"Yes it's time that I let her rest and not disturb her," Joshua said without any emotion in his voice.
Sebastian knows that his master is in pain right now but he also knows it is necessary. He has truly moved on and dedicated himself to his purpose.
It will take time but the wounds will heal in time.
After dumping the body Sebastian and Joshua were now traveling towards the Board of Directors meeting.
Joshua is turning 16 this year and he can take the CEO seat of Foley Textiles.
Joshua's company is one of the top companies in the Textile market. The company itself is worth 200 million dollars.
You might be thinking it is not so much of wealth. But you are forgetting that It is 1986. And at this time this much money is a lot.
Also, Joshua has asked Sebastian to create a Newspaper company, and just in 6 months with Joshua's direction, they became the No 1 newspaper in the U.S.A.
Now they have even 5 different types of magazines for various topics and are targeting every age group.
He also started a NEWS channel too 3 months ago.
Joshua knows from his past world that the one who controls the media always wins.
If you have media at your tips then you can control the thinking of people. You can create news. You don't need evidence if you have Media houses at your fingertips.
You can make a good government look like a dictatorship. You could make a drug addict a victim. You can create riots if you use your cards right.
And that's what Joshua is aiming at. To control people's thinking process.
Joshua might have told his parents that he will kill all of humanity but he knows it is not possible.
Only some percentage of people control this world. He would have to kill them and them this world is his to take. But the problem is that these people have great assets to themselves and thus the war is on the horizon.

Now that Joshua can legally take the company's ownership, some people have grown their ambition.
Now Joshua will not humor them by playing the game.
The game is only good till someone smashes the board. And he is gonna smash the board so hard that even hulk would soil the earth.
Now the problem is that someone named Patrick who has 13 percent of his company's total share thinks that he could bite more than he can chew.
He is making deals with other boards of directors. He is bribing them and telling them that I am crazy.
He is even demanding that the company have a share in my news business.
Greed truly is a man's doom.
He has to set an example out of him.
" We are here, Young master "
" Thanks Sebastian"
" it's my duty, young master "
"No, it's not. Gosh, how many times I have to tell you. You are not just a Butler."
Sebastian didn't say anything. He knows his young master thinks of him as his own family member. And the feeling is mutual.
" Let's meet the directors they are waiting for you." Sebastian reminded him with a thin smile.
board meeting room
Today at the order of Sebastian no employee was at the work. Today was their holiday.
Everyone knows that today the future boss will be decided and everyone was sure that Petrick has already won, they were in it for a nasty surprise.
Actually, it is not their fault. Joshua's age let them think he is a pushover.
They think that he granted a holiday because he wanted to save his face.
In the meeting room, there were 10 people with professional clothing. 3 of them were women and 7 men.
They were discussing something when Joshua and Sebastian entered.
They became silent.
Joshua looked at them and said " How are you doing gentlemen and gentleladies. "

Joshua extended his hand toward Petrick and said " Hello Petrick. "
" Hello to you too Joshua. " Petrick grabs his hand and gives him a Handshake.
Petrick is a fat man in his fifties. He has white hair and +2 point specs on.
Everyone takes their seats.
And then Petrick started speaking
" well, I believe that everyone here knows why we are here. So I will cut to the chase and come to the point.
Joshua here is not adequate in handling the business. His behavior shows it. So I and all of the board members decided that you Joshua should not take the C.E
O. post.
And also it would be in your favor if you hand over the news company to us too. "
Petrick says it all. He was so sure of victory such a shame.
" you know I can humor your acquisitions and reply to them and then we can talk all about it. "
"You know Petrick all of your acquisitions might be true but you made a single mistake. " Joshua stands up from his seat and said.
" oh, and what are they? Prey tell Joshua. "
Petrick asks with a smirk.
" you mistook me for a simple boy, Petrick. "
And then Petrick was going to say something but then he felt some difficulty breathing.
His breathing was fastened and he was taking long breaths.
"Ahuck..." Blood comes from Petrick's mouth.
Petrick fell from his chair. He was in pain. He looked toward Joshua.
What the saws scared him more than anything. He saw Joshua's emotionless cold face with those apathetic eyes.
He knows he made a mistake. He didn't think that Joshua would kill him in front of everyone.
He really did screw up. He saw his life flashing in front of his eyes. And then he speaks
" You know it will make you feel good. Your family which is in Huawei, celebrating the holiday is already there.
Now I can't live any loose ends you know.
Bye, sweet dreams. "
His eyes widened at the revelation.
He made a big mistake and not only he doomed himself but also his family.
And then darkness took him.
No one in the office says a single word. They were shell shocked. They didn't think Joshua had it in himself to kill someone in front of them. They now know why he grants that holiday.
They were at the mercy of him.
"Now what should I do with you all." Joshua turned to them with a smile.
Their legs gave up one by one. And they were on the floor in no second.
" please leave us, Joshua. We will not tell anyone. It was our mistake. " one of the women gathered her wits and pleaded.
" Let me think if I kill you all, the police will think that I did it and if somehow I dodged that bullet then I have to deal with a new board of directors.
Too much trouble for my taste.
So okay I will leave you guys but you guys go against me so there needs to be a punishment.
Sebastian cut off a finger from each of them.
And let me tell you guys that you all have families and I have men who will kill for me."
A/n: I don't create too much drama. Because when you have absolute power then there is no need for it.
And if you are wondering how Joshua killed the men. When he handshake with him he used his power Death's touch on him.

Against such a chaotic backdrop, a boy continues to protect a semblance of daily life for his loved ones, but will he be successful when the curtains finally open? Book 6: The Frenzied Tide Synopsis: A sword hangs above the Eastern Territories. The Human God, progenitor of all life, the direct cause of the beastfolk genocide, has made his will known to the rulers of the East — make peace with the God of Water, or be destroyed in three months.

But in the background, the threads of destiny are beginning to come together. Plots set in motion long ago are coming to fruition... Book 7: Limina of Ruin Synopsis: The chalice has broken. The East is beset with turmoil, as factions turn on each other. The Great Divide, however, brims with a setting radiance, ensuring a final, transient peace.

For him, the days of fighting will be a distant memory before long...and a daily event in the years to come.

Spurred by a myriad chilling revelations and urged by a god's killer, the Mortal Light Dynasty gathers both mortal rulers and divine sovereigns, covering past conflicts with a offer of cooperation of an unprecedented scale. However, can this unity, first of its kind, stand up to time, fate and mortal nature? Or will it burn, along with the Five Lands? Book 9: Homeland Song Synopsis: Gazing out at the Orb of old, Gaius ponders his destiny and the great stakes with it. Time and again, he has led a life of choices, making one after another for the sake of those he cares about. His latest choice, however, carries implications of an immeasurable scale. Charged with the protection of the future, all that awaits him is an eternal solitude... On the other side of the false world, a single star shines, one whose light is meant to protect. Gemini, who has long found a homeland in the form of Ark City, has spent years defending it with friends and family alike. However, an inexorable end is approaching.

Book 10: Immortal Indignant Synopsis: As the Five Lands reel from an unexpected revelation, Gaius continues his struggle to accept his immortal destiny of eternal vigilance. Mortal fetters continue to tie him down, with the prospect of breaking them a heart-rending prospect. There is little light for him in the darkness; his emotions seemingly a poisoned apple. For him, the days ahead are one of balancing his emotions; his immortal destiny is antithetical to the aspects that make one mortal. However, he isn't the only immortal indignant at the current state of affairs. Behind the scenes, huge powers push and pull, tussling in an insane game of wrestling sanity. The Five Lands and the great gods prepare in the background, awaiting their time to strike...

Revisiting the Five Lands with his beloved one last time, he casts his eyes to a new future, a world full of a peace forged by collective resistance. Far away from Gaius, at the very borders of the Southern Continent, soldiers train day and night, awaiting the day the rift between worlds crumble. But the battlefield there isn't just between the Five Lands and the Wildlands... Book 12: Boundary Belligerent Synopsis: The rift between worlds crumble. The moon, the sun and the sky shatter, revealing the vast expanse beyond. The cold light of the stars gaze down upon Orb, illuminating a bloody battlefield at World's End, where gods and mortals wrestle. Immortal troops charge the Five Lands, over and over again, only to be repelled by vast engines of war. For many, the moment of destiny has arrived. The Third Extermination has begun. However, Gaius gazes not at the present, but at the future beyond. What does he see there? And what will he do? Book 13: Destiny Divergent Synopsis: Bells ring, and destiny veers. Mortal miracles, having pierced a divine destiny, now turn their light of annihilation upon the legendary land of dangers and dark myth. A single being who should have slept forever reawakens, carrying out a inherited duty to protect. Under a dome of absolute law, the hulks that darken the skies are grounded, forcing the Five Lands to move ahead on foot. Hidden differences erupt, comrades turn upon comrades, and the alliance begins to crumble. What should have been a happy ending begins to fall apart. Watching from high above, the Abyss Sovereign laments his weakness, cursing the new destiny laid upon the world. And yet, he will never give up. Book 14: Abyss Ascendent Synopsis: As a future of never-ending conflict draws closer, Gaius stands at the centre of Orb, his will tempered and set. What the Wildlands has ceased to be, he will inherit. Divine Kingdoms and mortal nations clamour for peace to prepare for greater wars, but Gaius will no longer stand for that. For the sake of his dream, the Five Lands — and now, the Wildlands — must be unified against a common enemy. Gaius himself. Raising the flag of rebellion against mortal nature and destiny, the Abyss Sovereign commences a festival of creation for his new world, a paradise unimaginable to both mortal and divine minds. With his intentions made known now, there is no going back. He will succeed. Or die trying. Book 15: Terminus Transcendent Synopsis: ??? This is a story that may, depending on how impatient you are, take some time to spin up. I have enough in my mind for a long run, so it's essential that I lay out a great deal of groundwork at the start. Eleven books have been released so far, and this work will end at Book 15.

Imagine Being a Rare
The world of mobile games is harsh on wallets and harsher on the characters. How do you stand out in an crowd of designs calculated to attract attention from whales? You want power and fame, powercreep alts and event appearances. Some high rarities succeed, others fail. But how do you stand out when your design is plain, your power low, and your rarity, well, Rare? You don't. In the moderately popular gacha game Commandment of Hero, some Rares have had enough. A new gameplay mode will give them a chance to rise above their rarity, they think. All they need are courage, kindness, and wisdom. They have none of those, but they do have stubbornness, selfishness, and shamelessness, which are at least as effective. If that sounds pathetic, just imagine being a Rare. Updates Monday and Friday.
