Chapter 8- Plans
The tables had already been set with the children and father sitting together around the table."We guessed that you would be back by now" he stated with a twinge of disappointment appearing in his eyes briefly before it disappeared.Zephyra also received the notification of a loyalty drop.Zephyra sat down while sneering inwardly.Zane sat down as well while unfolding the map she had drawn."Don't, let's eat first." Zephyra stops her before she completely unfolds the map.…………"Good job Thyma. The food was good." Zephyra said while trying to do the sign language of that.She was not sure if it was correct, but well at least she said what she wanted to say.Zephyra turned to Zane and was about to ask her to unfold the map when she heard a croaked voice."You don't have to do sign language, I can read lips though I can't hear."Zephyra looked at her and frowned. Her frown caused Gerald and Zion to become fearful as they clenched their fist."Come here"Zephyra frowned because she felt she was really stupid.How could she not think of checking her inventory, she had amassed a lot of storage artifacts which were either in the form of rings, necklace, pouch etc.She quickly scanned them for a green pill with blue stripes on them and found them present in many storage artifacts.Zion and Thyma could only step forward.Zephyra noticed that even without Thyma helping Zion, he had a clear sense of direction.They watched as Zephyra frown disappeared followed by a bottle containing a green pill with blue strips.Gasp!!!"You! You…. How did you get it?... Where did you get the pill?" Gerald could not help but ask in shock.If not for Gerald's broken leg, she was sure he would rush at her to grab the pill.Zephyra frowned before opening her mouth."I don't know if that is how the Eldoria natives do it but I have never seen a subordinate ask about his/her master's business"Zephyra words were like cold water dousing Gerald awake.He looked at his children who looked at him in confusion and his master who stared at him with a frown on her face.It finally dawned on him that he was now a subordinating, no longer the high and mighty count.He looked at the other lady who had been summoned here with him and how she had quickly adapted and he looked at himself who thought he was still a person in power, he could not help but smile wryly and quickly made up his mind."Am sorry my lord for acting that way" he followed up with a low bow to which his body could allow."Never mind" , waved her hand nonchalantly."It's best if you can quickly adapt to your situation. Am not just referring to Gerald but all of you.You people are the first people I summoned, so in my territory, you may end up having a higher position if and only if you are useful.I don't need useless people." Zephyr's cold eyes stared at them, causing them to lower their heads."I don't know what kind of position you held before but just know that the moment you were summoned by me, you lost that position and every other thing."Zephyra no longer looked at them and raised the pill bottle in her hand."This pill is called a rejuvenation pill. All kinds of diseases plaguing a person would be removed with this pill.Am sure you are aware of the level of the pill and can tell that this is a perfect pill. "They all shook their heads when she mentioned if they knew the levels of pills except Gerald."Fine. Each pill has different levels which are;• Black• Iron• Normal• Ordinary• Intermediate• Advanced• Supreme and• Perfect.Now do you understand how precious this pill is?Each of you would take one each and recover to your peak. Once you're at your peak, then you can be useful to me."They all nodded their heads and received one pill each before swallowing it. They did not even hesitate to wonder if she gave them poison.Zephyra nodded her head at their attitudes.After taking the pill, what followed next was a bout of pain.Zane also took the pill due to an old injury on her hand.Zephyra sat on her seat as she watched them roll around in pain as they recovered.She decided to see how the other world was.A black light flashed and she disappeared.The others did not notice it as they were dealing with the pain.…………….Zephyra opened her eyes and found herself in her office.She sat down on the chair and allowed the breeze from the AC to cool her.Opening her drawer to search for her phone while also frowning at how scattered her office is.She found her phone and unlocked it.Opening the news channel, she quickly found various headlines mentioning the disappearance of 1 billion people worldwide.Zephyra frowned as she had some thoughts but that did not stop her from glancing at each article until she encountered an article from the government."Take a deep breath" quickly calmed down after taking a deep breath as she was close to blowing up.First, her office had been ransacked, second, she just encountered a video of her assistant with her so-called parents whom she hadn't met in years."What the fuck is going on? And it's a live stream at that"Zephyra quickly checked the address and left her office.The people at the office were surprised.They thought she had been whisked away by the white light with the other 1 billion people.Whispers followed immediately as she left.Going to the underground park, she quickly got into her car and went to the venue.………………Vooom!!!!Screech!!!!!The sound was so ear piercing that many people winced.Few bodyguards arrived to question her but the moment they laid their eyes on her cold and piercing eyes, they shivered unconsciously and made way for her."How dare you? Who are you? Guards arrest her"Chapter 9- Dealing with peopleVooom!!!!Screech!!!!!The sound was so ear piercing that many people winced.Few bodyguards arrived to question her but the moment they laid their eyes on her cold and piercing eyes, they shivered unconsciously and made way for her."How dare you? Who are you? Guards arrest her" a young handsome man stood up while pointing at her.The guards did not dare step forward, after all she was their Boss.The old woman behind the boy shivered the moment she met those eyes.She finally came to realize. She wanted to stop her grandson but her grandson had been pampered by her and his mother that she herself couldn't control him ."Son, She is your sister" What followed next was Zephyra's cold words."I have no family. Am sure it was made clear when I was sent out of the family. I don't know why you are here or why you are lusting after my company but right now I need you outta my sight.""You!.. how dare you talk to your grandmother like that" the young man spoke
Chapter 10- RealizationAll she could hear was that she was born out of rape."Ah!!!, How could that be.?!" She asked with a mixture of confusion and hope. Hope that what her mother had said was wrong."How couldn't it be? You father was a dandy young master and I was a person he couldn't get, so he decided to have his way and that you are the product of what he has done.He did not want to acknowledge you and I forced him to, before he finally succumbed to the pressure and married me.I couldn't give birth again and to avoid your father from looking outside for a son, I did what I did"Aisha said not looking at her daughter anymore as she entered the hospital.Their family situation had been going down the hill for a while now.Her daughter's second husband had found out about her daughter's past which was about her frolicking with boy toys and all that and couldn't accept it even though she did not cheat in the marriage.He felt like there was a vast green land on his head.Her grand
Chapter 11- Family drama"How can you not know what you have done? Why did you do it? Answer me!" Eren shivered and spoke. "I was venting my anger and I mentioned something about his granddaughter and he started crying, I asked why and, in fact I felt like my hatred and anger were magnified. It felt like my negative emotions were at an all time high. And I did what I did. I didn't mean to"Aisha just stared at him and then at her dead husband who passed away in relief, she wondered if he had also wanted to die, that why he had a look of relief when he left."Go call the doctor" she did not look at her son but sat beside her old man.She arranged his beddings and put back his oxygen mask.A teardrop slid down her face landing on his face."We are failures as parents, grandparents and also in our career.Am tired. Should I follow you?" The doctor, accompanied by a nurse, entered upon her request, with Elena and Eren following closely behind. Elena bit her lips at her mother's words."
Chapter 12- Decision and plansZephyra's decision was to kill him but she knew she shouldn't go too far to tempt fate.She hadn't yet assimilated with this world and the world would give her ten times whatever punishment that would be given to a normal person.She decided to erase his memories and throw him to a backward place.Zephyra felt that she was too kind. "Am I really afraid of fate?"[ Yes Master, you are. After what you have experienced so far, it would be strange if you aren't.]"Sigh, you have been quiet for a while now."[ Am not a chatterbox]"I didn't say you were. Anyway, do you have any idea on how I should deal with him."[Why not let him work for you?]"Tsk.... That's like keeping a time bomb by my side."[ Anybody you take into the personal space becomes dead loyal to you and you can even kill them and they won't move.It may be hard for a protagonist but since if Bryan had won, he would have completely gotten the halo of a protagonist but he didn't.]A grin appear
Chapter 13- UpgradesBryan, clandestine in his acquisition of the villa, navigated the winding roads to the secluded property, all while harboring the secret from his unsuspecting mother. Gratitude washed over him, knowing that her unawareness spared him from potential consequences.As he pulled up to the grandeur of his newly acquired residence, thoughts swirled in Bryan's mind about orchestrating his mother's departure from the country. The intricate plan loomed ahead, requiring careful execution.Upon entering, Bryan encountered Zephyra, patiently awaiting his arrival. The mere sight of her evoked a flood of emotions, and he couldn't contain the overwhelming urge to cry. Wrapped in a heartfelt embrace, Bryan found solace in releasing the pent-up emotions that had gripped him.After the tears subsided, a wave of realization washed over him. Embarrassment took hold as he acknowledged the unexpected vulnerability he had displayed before Zephyra, his once-disliked boss, now a recipient
Chapter 14- More upgradesShe clicked on the Forge and a building token materialized in her hand. The token had a metallic look with Forge written on it in the form of italics and level one below it."I already have the space, I can stay there to concoct some potion and pills. Let's upgrade some more, but it seems that the core will be hard to get since not every animal has a core."[You're even more of a child than me. Must I remind you of everything.]Zara's voice sounded annoyed.Zephyra was confused, she did not think she had forgotten anything.[Use your talent, dumbass.]"Hey, am your master okay. You get that? Now which talent are we talking about?"[Midas touch]Zephyra chuckled embarrassingly as she recalled the talent."Thank you" she had no excuse to go with, so she could only mutter a thank you.She brought out the things needed for upgrade and used the midas touch on them.For each object she touched, they released a blinding light.As she progressed, she felt more playfu

The juxtaposition of their resilience with the
Chapter 16- Day 2; My ChildZephyra instinctively closed her eyes upon meeting with the sudden rays of sunlight pouring in from the window.She turned to her side, turning away from the incoming rays of light as she allowed her brain to boot before sitting upright in a lotus position.“Zara, did anything happen while I was asleep?” Zephyra said, yawning in-between her words.[Nothing serious. Your subordinates each went to different workshops available to take a look while I also slowed down the process of the puppet expedition.Since the puppets have no consciousness and are only following orders, it took a while to get them to understand what to do.Right now, I had them patrol around the surrounding area, sent some to mine with Zion following them and some guards.I also gave Zane some materials to begin making maps while Thyma would use the materials given to her to make clothes of all kinds.Also, I stopped the puppets from building more constructions, since, you may have the tok
