Chapter 6: vision for the future
"So how long have you known my daughter?" Zara inquired, observing the new arrival in his mansion.
"Two years ago, sir," replied Max, who was brought by the butler.
"It was during the magic exam two years ago." Max transmitted the conversation through his head to Alexa, instructing her to provide the same response if questioned about their meeting.
Of course, this precaution was necessary to avoid any problems for Max.
"You know I only have one daughter; you know what that means?" Zara narrowed his eyes.
"This means that the position of successor to the leadership of the Green Rose Gang will be in Alexa's hands," Max responded.
"But as you know, Alexa is not that strong. She may seem like a tough girl, but she isn't. So, she will need the support of a strong husband," Zara commented while scrutinizing Max's expressions and then continued.
"And, of course, I will not easily accept that she will marry a weak person who does not even know how to be a competent leader."
"So, you want to test me, Mister Zara?"
"Smart, that's exactly what I want to do. I heard you're a professional hunter; how good can you hunt?"
"If you give me thirty men to lead, I will bring you the head of blur Ghul with one eye without any of the followers getting hurt," Max said, lowering his head to Zara like a respectful follower.
Zara looked at the butler, and the butler looked at Zara and nodded.
"Big words from a little kid; you don't think that just 30 people would be able to defeat a blue ghoul so easily."
"I know. It takes a strong leader and a clever scheme to bring down such a monster," Max nodded.
"Okay, then, Tori, a first-class assassin, will go with you. He alone is enough to take down the blue ghoul easily, but he will not help you. He will only watch you, and if something happens to you, he will not save you. The strongest members of the gang will not go with you; thirty average levels will go with you."
'He alone is enough to bring down that monster!!! Is he a wizard???"
"Here will be your test, which is to control the thirty despicable people who love to steal and kill and do not like to be led by a weak person."
"If so, can you give me 32 instead of thirty?" Max said it with a sly smile.
"Even if the number increases, it will not help you in..." Before Zara could finish speaking, Tori interrupted him.
"Sir," Tori said quickly, then moved to him and whispered in his ear.
"Okay, I allow you to; they are just bastards who are unimportant to the gang. Even if they die, they are unimportant," Zara said with a big smile.
"Well, thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zara."
"You can go out now; Tori will come to you tomorrow with the thirty men."
"Thank you, sir; see you later then."

Max left from there, but his smile disappeared.
'Fuck, damn, sh*t, what do you mean he can take down the ghoul alone? That means he'll be watching my every step. Even after killing the blue monster, I won't have a chance to escape his eyes, and I need to be alone with Alexa.'
'What should I do? Going to look for the ghoul will take time. Returning with the loot will definitely take more than an hour, so I need to use the blue ghoul's liver in less than an hour of killing him.'
'30 people are not strong and can be killed; that's fine with my plan, but how do I get rid of the damned Tori?'
"Ahhhhhhhh, mhhhhhhh, they can all be eliminated; I have a plan, bwahahahahaa, exactly Tori and all the thirty bastards I'm going to get can be eliminated for an hour, but there's a problem. What level is Tori at? Otherwise, if his level is high, my plan will fail." Max thought hard, and after that, he found a solution to his problem.
'Alexa, old blacksmith, I order you to come with Tori and the thirty men who will help me eliminate the One-Eyed Blue Ghoul; no excuses.' Max relayed another mental command to the trio, who stuck with Max's orders.

"Damn that fucking bastard," the human giant smashed one of the tables he, the dwarf, and Alexa were at.
"Did you find any solutions, Uncle Lu?" Alexa said that with her sweet, gentle voice.
"No, I do not know what the problem is; I do not know how he controls us, and I cannot tell the specialists because he ordered us not to notify anyone about what is happening to us in any way."
"I don't know about you, but if I get free from him, I'll smash his fucking head in and feed him to my crocodile pets in my house," said the old giant.
"We have to do whatever he orders now; there is no other solution," Alexa said.
"Is that all right, my young lady?" said the dwarf, Lu.
"Of course, I'm not okay; I'm being controlled by a crazy person. I don't know what he's planning," Alexa said worriedly.
"I don't mean that; I mean about you being his girlfriend. I'm afraid something bad will happen to you," said the dwarf Lu.
"I think none of your fears will come true. I think he just wants to control the gang and take Mr. Zara's place," said the big old man.
'I don't know about that,' thought the girl, remembering when he groped her breasts and ass, and they didn't know about that because they were dealing with killing the bartender.
And she wasn't going to tell them because she didn't want to worry them.
"Okay, let's leave it like that. We will try to figure out some way to get out of his control. For now, we must do what he tells us."
"I agree with you, my young lady."

"So you think he's powerful enough to do what you told me?" Zara said, focusing on his butler.
"I think so, sir. He seems very intelligent, and he seems to be strong enough to do this," Tori said with a smile.
"If he does this, he'll earn some marks for the test."
"Yes, sir, and also, if he passes your test, sir, will we teach him that?"
"If he can pass my exam, I will definitely teach him that. After all, he will become my son-in-law. He will need the strength to do that."
"Wise of you, sir."

"System, can you know someone's levels, strengths, and techniques?"
[Answer to the host's question]
[The level of the system is low; the power of the law of calculating other people's powers is stronger than the system]
[Get the system to the second level to break that law]
"Shit, I should just take the risk now."
Max rushed to the waterfall in the forest to carry out his plan. He opened his books and began writing some things in a small notebook, as if he were trying to solve a complex chemical formula.
After a while of doing that, he closed the notebook, then thought for a while.
He quickly went out into the forest and began searching for some of the materials he needed, some herbs that he recognized from writing, that he'd need to use for the chemical formulas that he researched.
After returning to the cave behind the waterfall, he started making two powerful potions that would help him a lot tomorrow. He cooked some of the ingredients, distilled some of the flower essence, and quietly completed his work. It took him a long time before he finished everything.
He took the large amount of potions to the system storage, then headed towards his house.
He was very sweaty. After showering, he went to the mirror and observed his face and wet black hair.
"Then there's no other solution; it might work out, and I'll turn into a demon by tomorrow. Or I'll be following Zara as his servant for a very long time," Max said, watching his face in the mirror, as if he were waiting for the reflection in the mirror to give him a better solution than what he currently had.
After getting out of the bathroom, he headed to his room to rest; it had been a long day indeed. He needed to rest for the big battle tomorrow, and he also needed a mental break after the long study in the cave of the things he had made for tomorrow.

Max opened his eyes, and all he found was white from right to left, from top to bottom, everything in white. Then suddenly, a mirror appeared in front of him, and he was surprised by what he saw.
It was a red monster with blood pooling around it from everywhere; his entire body was red mixed with the black rising around his body, several red eyes like the eyes of monsters from hell, long black hair that exceeded his waist, an unshaven beard, and two large horns coming out of its head.
Then he began to observe more around him, and he found in front of him many unconscious girls of every type and race, and these girls had the type of chains on their necks that showed that they were slaves. He recognized one of the girls. It was Alexa, whom he was thinking of dropping into his hands. And she was completely naked.
_____________
Max quickly opened his eyes, looked at his body, and found it to be normal again. There isn't a demonic body. He looked out the window and found that morning had already arrived.
"Hmm, is this some kind of vision for the future? I'm already thinking of building a harem, mhhahahahaha."
"This dream must come true; no matter what happens, I will make it come true."
"That's the perfect future."
"Well, doesn't that sound fun? buhahahahahahaha"
