RE:BORN Zombie

[I don’t plan on dragging out this book, especially if it’s unnecessary, so from here on, it may seem a little fast paced, but worry not as I will not skip over any important thing or spoil the quality and good factors of the book]

Maggie who had just been listening to the conversation without any interference was quite surprised with the route Victor had decided to take. She wasn’t sure why he made this decision, but seeing as she herself had taken Victor to be some kind of higher being these days, she had faith in his decisions and didn’t even want to object, not like she saw anything wrong with it to begin with.

.

“I was wondering, Crow- Just how strong are you? Really?”

“Well- probably enough to take down a battalion of A rank hunters with some S rank thrown in the mix.” Crow answered.

Though Crow’s answer might have seemed honest or a bit boastful, when taken from another angle, it could be seen as an indirect challenge or provocation towards Victor.

Victor took his words as the latter, and he wasn’t going to allow such a relationship of equals. He was well aware that if it came to it, Crow would most likely win in a battle of physical strength, or at least match him, but when it came to skills… Victor was the undisputed hands down.

“I take that as an indirect provocation towards me.. DO you want to try and see who’s more powerful?” Victor said, in his usual calm and nonchalant tone.

Crow remained quiet for some time, clearly showing that he meant what he said in the way Victor understood it, and that he actually had the thought of who was stronger in his mind, or a better way to put it would be to say that he was thinking of the possibility of him eliminating Victor.

As both men stared intently at each other like two tigers looking at another animal trying to invade their space, Victor made the first move, as he would not let someone who is supposed to be his subordinates get any ideas. That would only be a recipe for failure.

Victor activated two skills as a start off against Crow while he spoke in a dead calm tone, as his eyes gained a brilliant but dull gleam in them. “I would have done more, but just know, I am not the type to tolerate insubordination. Of course, I would like to think that you are under me?” Victor said while looking at Crow dead in the eye. It didn’t take up to three seconds, and Crow couldn’t help but shift his eyes down and away from Victor’s.

‘What is this feeling?… I- I can’t refuse him.’

Before Victor began speaking, while both his and Crow’s eyes were locked, he activated his skills Death Gaze and Terror at the same time, the first making his eyes glow just the slightest bit green. Death Gaze only needed one eye contact, and terror just needed the target to be within a certain range. Both were similar, but they worked differently. Death Gaze was used at full capacity, while Victor only used a bit of Terror, just to supplement the first skill. Now that he had control over his skills, something like Death Gaze and Terror could be activated in levels with different intensities.

In the end, that was all it took for him to suppress Crow, and before he deactivated the skills, Crow answered.

“That wasn’t what I meant; we are undoubtedly your subordinates.” He said. It was clear that the words almost didn’t want to come out of his mouth, and that also showed Victor what type of man he was.

Victor was sure Crow would not have submitted if it wasn’t for his own subordinates, who he was sure would definitely meet a terrible end if he was to do something out of line. Nevertheless, Crow was scared shitless, probably to a degree he had never been in his life.

After Crow gave the answer, Victor deactivated his skills, and their influence disappeared. Even though Crow was no longer influenced by the skills, the effects they had on him lingered, as skills that affected one psychologically weren’t that easy, they always left a lingering effect.

“Is that so? That’s good, I was already thinking-” Victor cut himself off and ended it there, leaving Crow to his own imaginations. “We will be leaving then. I have no use for you than to inform you of this decision of mine today, so I will inform you later of anything-“

With that, Victor and Maggie were escorted out of the underground base and back up. After they got to the top, Victor could notice a change in the way the guards at the entrance and exit treated he and Maggie. He couldn’t quite say, but he was certain they had received the news of what happened and the latest update. ‘Good to know their information network is fast.’

Victor returned with Maggie to the hideout after that, and he used the craft all the way. He could always teleport, but really, there was no need to always be in a rush, not like there was anything chasing him. He is arguably the strongest in the world at the moment, and nobody in their correct sense would even think of attacking him, at least, not at the moment, he thought, so he could take things slowly for now.

“Is Werzelya around? I want to see her.” Victor asked Maggie.

“No master, she’s at her residence last I checked.” Maggie answered. “But I can find another one for you, master.”

“What do you mean?” Victor asked.

“Is the reason you want to see her for the master’s pleasures? I can arrange that with other qualified females.” Maggie said.

Victor just turned to look at her for a brief moment, then he took his gaze off her and answered, “That will not be necessary, that is not the reason I want to see her.” Victor said simply.

“Oh… No problem master, just tell me if you need anything.” Maggie said.

“Hm. Do restrict yourself from speaking in that manner?” ‘What kind of show does she watch?’

“Ah, yes, master.”

As Werzelya would not be in the base, Victor saw no other need to visit. He already had someone he put in charge of that position, and even without the pawn, Maggie was there to look over things, so that didn’t bother him. ‘If there’s anything I learned in those business classes I took on the side, it’s that having businesses and organisations that are automated is the best. Passive Income.’ Victor said in his mind, and he nodded at Maggie before teleporting.

*Somewhere in Werzelya’s house.

“Hey, wake up.”

…

“Who’s that disturbing my sleep? Get! O!U-t… Ah?”
