"Do you understand what you've done?" Greed while narrowing her eyes.

"Yes?" Silas tilted his head.

"That man you just killed had a lot of connections. I wouldn't be surprised if his friends chose to assassinate you." She leaned forward slightly while maintaining eye contact.

"They're weak. What are they supposed to do against me?" 

"They're quite wealthy. They are more than capable of hiring assassins to end you in less than a day."

"You're aware of how strong I am, right?" Silas crossed his arms.

"And I'm aware that your intelligence is your greatest weapon. What will intelligence do when you're surrounded by dozens of assassins who have more experience than you. 

Sure, you could probably kill a couple, but only brute strength will help you when you are outnumbered."

"Then, what are you saying?" Silas asked, but he couldn't help but scrunch up his nose when a certain smell entered his nose.

"I want to help you." She smiled almost seductively.

'Is she trying to seduce me? She does know that I'm a child, right? Why does everyone here keep forgetting that...' Silas frowned. However, understanding her ploy only took him a few more seconds.

[Foreign mind-altering drug detected]

Silas quickly breathed in and activated Metamorphosis' assimilation.

[Drug assimilated]

[You have grown a resistance to mind-altering drugs]

'I should probably start drinking poison. I'd really increase my tolerance to all types of drugs... Though, this could mean that I won't be able to use anesthetic in the future... Oh well.' Silas inwardly shrugged.

"Oh? Are you feeling it?" Greed smirked while turning her head to the side.

At the same time, Silas acted like he was getting drowsy and uncoordinated.

Greed quickly hopped onto the table and slid toward Silas, his legs dangling before him.

"I know you're going to be Judgement... I'm well aware of that fact. So, before you become Judgement..." She reached forward and grabbed Silas' chin, forcing him to look her in the eyes.

"I'm going to make you mine..." She let out a demonic smile that stretched from ear to ear.

*30 minutes later*

The sound of the door clicking rang throughout the hall. Everyone watched Silas walk through Greed's office doors; his eyes were listless, and his walk was wobbly. But, of course, it was all a part of his plan.

"Is he going to be punished?" One of the men roared out, but he was quickly slammed into the far side of the hall by the girl who attacked Silas before Greed had arrived.

"Do not speak to the mistress with that tone of voice." The girl snarled.

"Jessica. Please." Greed looked at her assistant with a shake of the head, causing Jessica to let go of the man, dropping him to the ground.

"I apologise for my behaviour, General." Jessica kneeled with her fist on the ground, looking down with shame and dishonor.

"Stand. You are not at fault." Greed smiled warmly while Silas looked at the ground without any emotion or life in his eyes.

"May I ask what you will do with that boy?" Jessica asked with as sweat running down her forehead.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

"Nothing. He just owes me one. Please give him the money we owe him. He also has a special mission he's going just for me." Greed smirked while licking her lips.

Everyone in the room felt a shiver run down their spines, but they said nothing.

After all, Greed had a certain reputation. 

"Is that all? Is that all my brother's life is worth? A single mission!" The man on the ground roared as tears left his eyes, yet everyone quickly ignored him, even his own teammates who had just lost a friend and companion. 

Everyone knew what it meant to anger one of the generals, and if their friend was stupid enough to do that, he would be on his own.

Silas also left the hall. However, everyone kept their distance from him.

They could only imagine what had happened to him in that room.

After a while, Silas quickly walked into one of the alleyways and sighed.

'Well, that was a relief.' Life and emotion returned to his eyes before he quickly fixed his posture.

Looking at his arm, he could already see that the puncture holes had already been healed, though a small problem remained.

Silas reached for the back of his neck, scratching the metallic gold and blue beetle stuck into his neck like a piercing he couldn't take off.

He knew that he could probably take it off by ripping it out of his neck, but he also knew that she was instantly found out.

He was supposed to be under her control.

Silas quickly returned home and picked up the chalk.

'Such a large variety of drugs. Life is one of the only herbologists in this city; I wonder if she knows what Greed is doing. I wonder if she's the supplier too. 

Greed has more than enough money to get it from the outside, but I doubt it would be cheaper than getting it from here. Greed is in her name. There's no way in hell she would choose to waste that much money.' Silas thought to himself before scratching his chin.

From what he understood, while acting like he had been roofied, the bug at the back of his neck told her where he was. At the same time, his system-like screen told him a little more about the beetle than she would have liked him to know.

Looking to the side, Silas willed to open the green screen, and a few seconds later, it appeared before him.

[A slave item is being forced upon you]

[Your life force has rejected the will of the item]

[Your mind has rejected the will of the item]

[Your mana core is struggling to resist the will of the item]

'Since two of the three components have rejected the item's will, it must have lost most of its energy before trying to take over my core. What an elaborate plan... I'm lucky that my life force and mind are strong enough to repel it.' Silas grinned.

However, Greed had just placed herself in a position that Silas could benefit from. 

If she thinks she can control him, killing her would be much easier than he first thought it would be. He would also gain her favor when becoming Judgement, whether that is in the election phase, or when he actually becomes a general.

'You don't even realize it, but you just fell right into the palm of my hand.' Silas smiled before writing all the information he had on her on the board before him.
