Chapter 74: Goals
.......
The creature seems to mostly stay in that form though it changes regularly to random colors and a more humanoid look even though it's unconscious.
This is Kiriko one of the Magical Beasts that can change their own physical appearance.
The other creature is just a small yellow bird with no interesting thing about it that can be noticed and in fact, it just a simple normal bird in contrast to the magical beast next to it.
Something that only Nen users can notice about the two creatures is the Aura flowing out with their Aura pool enlarging though barely, this is the result of Morena using her ability on them as per Yasuo's instructions.
Once she observed them for a while she left the room and sent a message to three people on her phone then headed to her office where she took a seat and crossed her legs then waited for a while with her eyes closed.
Until the door opened with three people entering then closing the door behind them and said at the same time, "Boss!!"
A man of slim build in his twenties, between 185 and 190 cm tall, and with a large crescent-shaped scar on his left cheek.
He has prominent teeth, a high brow, and fair, combed-back hair, this is Luini a high-ranking member of the Heil-Ly Family.
A young woman with fair hair on top, but dark on the sides and back. She has a long fringe that falls on the left side of her face.
She has droopy eyes, thick lips, and prominent lower lashes, this is Cashew is the new Vice-boss of the Heil-Ly Family.
.A tall middle-aged man, he has long orange wavy hair, protruding chin, black eyes color, this is Orilin a high ranking member of the Heil-Ly family.
Morena opened her eyes then asked, "Cashew, how is the recruitment process?"
"The requirements you set to join the family are too high so we were only able to recruit 32 people so far.
Mass recruitment like this is quite rare in the underworld so people would usually take such an opportunity but most of them are still hesitating because of what happened when you took over,"
Answered Cashew directly as if she rehearsed that.
Morena seemed thoughtful, "Because of the disappearance of the former boss and the other members huh, well it doesn't matter much for now. Luini, Orilin how is the contact with the spies we sent to the other families?"
"We have only one spy in the Char-R Family who is available for contact, the rest failed to join,"
"Four members were able to successfully join the Xi-Yu family but they have no useful information since they're still at the bottom of the barrel," Both Luini and Orilin answered respectively.
Morena nodded, "It doesn't matter I just want to know the overall movement of the families, and that's something they should know,"
She observed them while saying so, "How is your progress in Nen? and how is the progress of the other members?"
The one to answer the question is Cashew saying, "Everyone is still learning the basics and no one was able to create any ability as of yet,"
They continued the discussion for a while mostly about the family business and the plans to expand it...
'Well, I'm having fun with this, having power over people and manipulating them for my wishes is kind of enjoyable... I'll start from here and see if it can be my hobby...' Though Morena bringing a small smile to her face.
Her eyes seemed to shine for a split second, "Taking over the whole underworld of the Kakin empire sounds interesting then we can do whatever we want and perhaps... We can take over the world. We just need the power to do so, train more, and don't disappoint me."
Hearing that brought different reactions from the three, Cashew's eyes brightened, a weird expression surfaced on Luini but expectations could be seen in his eyes, while Orilin just nodded.
Morena looked thoughtful until she noticed a portal appearing in the room and then disappearing only after Yasuo came out of it. She stood up and threw her arms around his neck as they sealed each other's mouth into a long kiss.
Yasuo suddenly picked her up and walked towards the couch then sat down and placed her on his lap. Morena just rested her head on his chest while asking, "How long?", to which he said, "Long enough."
"So what do you think about them? Are they loyal and suitable for the positions I appointed them in?" She asked wondering.
Yasuo closed his eyes just relaxing, "You're the boss, you tell me what you think."
Morena seemed thoughtful for a while before saying, "From I saw, Lunui just like chaos and well, killing.
If my goals can grant him that then he will follow me, he is the one I'm not sure about the most.
Cashew is quite deceptive and strategic, that's why I gave her the Vice-boss position but I could see she doesn't have much motivation so I gave her a goal to work for, taking over the world. Orilin is the easiest case,
He was a government official, a talented one but he quit a while ago due to his wife and daughter getting killed. I saw his talent so I brought him in and helped him get his revenge back so yeah I think he is quite loyal."
Yasuo let out a small laugh, "You're doing well on your own so you really don't need much advice but I'll say it anyway.
The chaotic vibe surrounding you draws people to follow you more than you think so aside from your direct manipulation, this also plays a role especially for people like Luini so yeah I think he is quite loyal.
And the vibe didn't disappear after meeting me, in fact, it became much more beautiful so you don't have to worry much about him and the same for the other two especially Orilin, he seems quite talented.
All the three are rare finds so even if they make good abilities, it's better not to use your ability on them...You should also consider making Orilin the underboss."
"Also, how long did you use your ability on them?" Yasuo continued to ask.
"All of them awakened Nen in about 12-24 hours from me using my ability on them with no apparent complication.
Seven days for Linui with his Aura pool enlarging significantly and he is an Emitter. Six days for Cashew since she is a little bit more talented than Linui, she is a transmuter.
Orilin seems special with taking only four days to reach the same Aura pool as Linui and Cashew even with his age and he is a specialist."
"I only used my ability on another six members I think are loyal but they're not that talented."
Yasuo nodded then asked, "What you said about taking over the world, did you mean it?"
A bright light appeared deep within Morena's eyes as she answered truthfully, "I enjoy having this kind of power and I'm good at it so I want to mess around a little bit and see if I like it and can take it as a hobby of mine... You have your passion and I want to find mine."
Yasuo started caressing her silky blond hair with a smile on his face, "You're good at it alright, so have your fun and do whatever you want. For now, let's go on a date."
That brought a bright smile to her face but she asked, "You're not gonna check on the creatures in the basement?"
"Already did, there are still about fifteen days so leave them until we go back."
After hearing that, she contacted Cashew to take over while she is away then they went through a portal only to appear somewhere at the coast of the Azia continent floating in the air with Yasuo holding Morena's waist.
He used the same Aeroeye thread he left to create a portal leading them to the Coast of the Anrika continent.
From Yasuo's upper back, he created three purple threads from which numerous more threads started branching out and twisting together forming a large bird on which he sat on with Morena doing the same and resting her head on his shoulder though he didn't activate 'Vision' ability keeping his eye vision intact.
After which he manipulated the bird to fly in a direction that leads to the Mimbo republic, one of the V5 the main leaders of the known world with The group being composed of two female and four male leaders from different countries: United States of Saherta, Federation of Ochima, Mimbo Republic, Kukan'yu Kingdom, Begerossé Union...
A long time ago, the V5 decided on which place they're going to build the International Permit Agency's headquarters and they came to the conclusion it should be built in the Mimbo republic due to the Hunter Association's HQ also being there which can provide necessary backup if need...
