YM778.TV Chapter 246 246
However, recently, the Goldsmith family had been plunged into a financial crisis as a result of failed investments and bad business decisions.
Their fall seemed imminent until a piece of news broke out last month that the Black Forest Group was taking over the Golden Casino Chain.
The Heir of the Demiliore Family, and the President of the Black Forest Group, personally came last week to finalise the deal.
To the dismay of the Business Community, he did not take advantage of the crisis of the Goldsmiths and paid a little more than what the five Golden Galaxy Casinos were worth, which not only showed respect for an old and prestigious family in the country but also saved them from the wolves and vultures who were awaiting their fall.
Many thought that perhaps it was done out of friendship, but those who had understood the way the Heir of the Demiliore Family operated his Business and the success he earned, could not shake off the feeling that perhaps there was more to the deal than what was made public.
But they would never know how right they were.
Keith was never the one to make a loss out of a deal. But for now, only the people of the Goldsmith Family and he himself knew what the deal was about, and it was something that was never going to be made public.
And right now, the Heir of the Demiliore Family was inside his study in the Presidential Suite of the Golden Galaxy Casino in Mystich City.
Yingying was standing behind him as she kneaded his shoulders, and across from them sat Iseul and Minami, curiously looking at the images of more than a dozen girls and the files related to them scattered over the table.
"You could always ask your mother and wives to choose from these girls, Senpai." Iseul could not help but playfully speak.
Though he had not spoken anything to them about choosing girls from this lot, she guessed that it must be the case. Otherwise, he would never bother asking her to collect every detail on these girls and keep an eye on their every movement.
Keith smiled at her words and put down the file, looking into her eyes that were smiling at him from behind her glasses.
"None of them would meet Mother and Amelia\'s eyes. Qingyue would be displeased if I brought it up to her that I want to capture some future maids for our household."
Minami giggled at his words, and he helplessly shook his head.
"Kiara would not care. She would ask me to pick whomever I want, and Rebecca..." He smiled again. "She would simply shrug and tell me that there is no need to choose and that I should grab them all."
"I think I and Lady Rebecca have the same opinion over this matter. If you want them all, you should take them all." Iseul giggled and watched Keith shake his head.
"I know. And that means that you would be of no help too." He closed the file and put it back on the table. "I don\'t want them all."
It was at this time that he heard a System Prompt in his mind and checked the latest Quest he had received from the System.
[Main Quest 3: Kill Mathew Frost, the Child of Destiny.] (Rewards: The Blank Physique. 100000 System Points. 15000 System Experience.)
(Difficulty: Easy.)
Keith frowned as he looked at the System Points and Experience Points in the rewards.
They were outrageously higher than what had been offered in the Quests regarding the other children of Destiny, but he understood why it must be so.
"You will devour the Fate of the Flower Cultivation System?"
[Yes, Host. When Hostntakes out a Child of Destiny or someone who possesses a System, their Systems will be devoured, and it will grant the Host a lot of System Experience and System Points. Additionally, some key features can be incorporated, but the Flower Cultivation System is not a high-level System, and none of its functions are worth incorporating.]
Since he had read the Plan of Destiny regarding Mathew Frost, he knew the truth about the Flower Cultivation System and its limitations.
It was just a lecherous System, born out of the Will of a very lecherous God at the time of his death.
Even Mathew would not understand its truth and the reason behind its quests for a long time. And just like the last Flower Emperor, Mathew was destined to sire innumerable bastards and bed innumerable women on his path to Godhood.
In this world alone, he was meant to sleep with over two dozen maidens and leave behind half of them pregnant before he disappears. And these girls were not necessarily special.
They only had to be beautiful and virgin, and if possible, beneficial to the Host of the Flower Cultivation System for it to grant its Host a quest regarding them.
Almost all his women were vases he would forget about and move on, but of course, Mathew was meant to meet a few special and truly powerful girls in his life too. Sadly, none of his Main Heroines was in this world, but there were three that intersted him as he had plans for them in his mind.
They were very valuable in his eyes and could be cultivated into powerful beings. And they could be trained into perfect Handmaidens for his wives.
"It\'s a pleasant surprise." Keith was delighted to know that the System Experience he would be receiving by eliminating other System Users was going to be high.
Otherwise, he would have had to wait for too long to upgrade the Fate Devouring System, but now he roughly guessed that he would be able to evolve the System to the next level after he was done dealing with all the Children of Destiny in this world.
[Fate Plundering System: Level 2.]
[System Experience: 3950/50000]
He guessed that by the time he is done with Mathew, the System Experience would cross the 20000 mark.
"So Mathew has slept with Julia tonight and has awakened the Flower Cultivation System."
[Yes, Host.]
"Good." He smiled.
Keith knew which rewards Mathew received in his Novice Gift Pack from the System.
It was a Special Potion that was going to help improve his body, help him sense the first Aura Node in his body. Over the next month, it would help him Complete Aura Circulation, Body Refinement, and then Aura Soul Formation, allowing him to smoothly reach the peak of the Foundation Profound Realm.
The second reward was 500 Million Neris, which were saved in the System for now.
Additionally, Mathew received Shadowboxing, Calligraphy, Painting, Piano, Violin, Cello, Harp, Driving, Equestrian, Swimming, Gambling, and Investment Skills from the System. And all these Skills were at the Advance or Expert Level, which made him better or at least just good as anyone who had these skills in this world. Of course, this did not include some special existences.
It was an arsenal meant to woo the girls and just that. And none of these Skills was going to help him or save him from Keith.
"How much time is left before his Invincible Halo wears off?"
[A month.]
Keith looked at the files on the table and sank back into this chair, enjoying Yingying\'s massage as she started kneading his head.
Since almost all these girls were Vases, eliminating them right away would only result in Destiny finding him more girls. So, he had a very different plan in mind for each one of these girls.
"We will attend the party of the Alvarez Family on Sunday." He spoke, and Iseul looked at him in surprise.
"I am coming too?"
"Yes."
"Thank you, Senpai!" She happily said. "I will take the role of your lover!"
"An Assistant."
"Pretty please?" She looked at him with her puppy eyes and then huffed when he shook his head. "Fine!"
And then her eyes looked at the files on the table.
"Can I kill them?"
There was a sudden change in her persona, and had there been anyone else in the room with them, they would have been alarmed at the sweet madness in her voice. However, the three of them were very familiar with her true nature so it did not come as a surprise to them.
"Not yet." He smiled when he watched a beautiful smile bloom on her face. "And not all of them."
She pouted at his words but obediently nodded her head.
"Which one will I be killing first?"
"Julia."
"The desperate high-school girl." She nodded to herself and smiled dangerously.
"Master." Minami suddenly spoke, and he turned to look at her. "Do you want to keep any of these girls?"
"Only Amira and Reina Goldsmith and Zoey Alvarez."
"They are beautiful." She nodded her head and picked up the files of the three girls.
They had already guessed about the Goldsmith twins since their Master saved the Goldsmith Family. And Zoey Alvarez was quite a fun character in addition to being very beautiful for a human girl. It was not really a surprise to them that he chose the three most beautiful girls.
To Minami, her Master could only be surrounded by beautiful maids. And she was looking forward to educating these three girls in becoming the perfect Handmaids for their family if he allowed her to take charge of them.
"So the naive and innocent twins, and the feisty and stubborn girl." Iseul playfully smiled. "Senpai, are you planning on taking them to bed at the same time?"
"I might." He shrugged, and it made the Korean girl pout at him.
Keith knew very well what was running in her silly mind. But she had to wait a while longer before he makes a woman out of her. It was for her benefit.
"Go back to work, Iris." He ordered, and sensing that there was no room for being playful anymore, Iseul nodded and stood up.
"Good night, Senpai!" She bowed to him and then walked out of the study.
