The other big event involved the Glutt family on Zou.
It took place not too long after problems started appearing in the Meridian family and completely caught them off guard.
They were all happy to hear that their spies and collaborators had collected information about the success of their plan.
It caused them to want to proceed forward with their plan as they would begin to help with the takeover of the Meridian family.
They were celebrating at one moment until the Vivre Cards of those that had gone out to sea started to catch fire and burn up.
Some burned out slower while others suddenly burned up so fast that they disappeared before their eyes, if they had blinked then they could have thought that it had been moved when their eyes were off it but there was no mistake.
They saw it with their own eyes as the Vivre Cards burned into nothingness which meant that the life of those they belonged to were gone for good.
Seeing some Vivre Cards disappear, they were not too worried since some sacrifices were required if it meant achieving their goals.
They were prepared for there to be someone sacrifices but they were left greatly shocked as the Vivre Card belonging to the head of their family had started to look in a bad state.
It slowly reduced to a very small size until it disappeared just like all those before it.
It gave them all a great shock to find out about the sudden death of the Glutt family head which caused them to hesitate about how they should proceed.
They had orders to carry out and since it had been confirmed that most of the plan had been successful, they proceeded forward with pushing for Milo's mother to be released from her seclusion.
They still had an heir that could inherit everything so they were able to regroup not long after the news of the death of the family head.
At least they had someone within their main bloodline that could rightfully inherit the position should anything happen to the current head of the family.
The Meridian family did not have such a good condition to fall back on since all of the heirs of the main bloodline were away from Zou and were caught up in the whole incident.
It caused the Meridian family to be on the weaker side and the Glutt family slowly started to take action as they took advantage of the influence they held over those within the Meridian family.
There were some worrying signs of other failures but they were not taken too seriously.
So long as Milo lived along with others and made their way back to Zou as planned, they would not face too many difficulties in taking control and cleaning up any loose ends.
Pixel and many others were easy times track down so if they arrived on the island then they would be intercepted.
Handling a couple of kids and some shadow guards of the Meridian family was seen as an easy task.
The biggest issue that they had to deal with was dealing with the fallout of the families that had lost their children.
So long as the children lived then the Vivre Cards would not burn out but there would still be some damage done to them if they suffered some harm before being captured.
Their following lives would further inflict more damage upon the Vivre Card to let everyone know about the suffering they would be enduring after being sold off as slaves.
Once the families found out about the state of their children who had accompanied the Meridian family, they would come straight to the Meridian family for answers.
Since the Meridian family was a family they wished to control and maintain to hold more power, they had to prepare for what was coming.
Their greed would not let them turn back from what they had planned even if it meant getting innocents involved that had little to do with any of it.
Their views towards those that were in close relations with the other Meridian family heirs was that they were a hindrance to their plans so they could be sacrificed if they happened to get caught up in the plan too.
It was more profitable to have more slaves sold and if any of the children were potential heirs within their families then it would help the Glutt family towards approaching other potential heirs to help them gain control over their family.
It was very beneficial to the Glutt family since it allowed more families to be put under them so long as they had a useful candidate already picked out.
It would probably cause the Meridian family to take some hits from the other families and offer compensation so it would not be beneficial In the short term but would start to look better as time progressed.
Many of the hyena Minks of the Glutt family weee anticipating the many rewards as their greed intensified enough to picture them taking further control of Zou.
The days passed by after Pixel and others had disappeared from the island before journeying back to Zou.
It took a little more time for the others on the island to be smuggled out of the island before they went to the original meeting place where they did business with the underworld people they were aligned with.
They did not stay too long but kept some of their people to watch over their partners in case of a sudden betrayal or an escape attempt of the captured Minks.
The transactions would proceed just as planned but they needed to hurry back to Zou so they could take control of the situation.
They needed to arrive before anyone else so they could not waste any more time.
If Pixel and others did find their way back then it would greatly hinder their plans so they needed to get there early enough to prepare their forces to intercept them or find them before they stepped foot on Zou.
