Chapter 516 Solved by a bullet [1/2]
A thin layer of soul now connected me to Cynthia and Yvonne. Both women were smiling as if they had won the lottery. Which made no sense, considering it meant they would have to share my burden.Phillip and Lucrecia applauded happily as the two joined my {Vassals}. They hugged each other as they smiled. I nodded proudly and noticed the time. It was now 8:00 PM. That meant Hellsgate was officially open for business.
Even though I was no longer bound by the rules of the Wraiths, I still felt that 8:00 PM was the beginning of the work day. It was probably because I always came in at 8:00 in the morning at my old job.
'Old habits die hard.'
I was no longer human, but part of my brain was still
"Get me the data on every prison, hospital, asylum and nursing home. They will join your family as Hellsend's first enlistment."
"Um... my lord? Did I hear you right? Prison? Hospital? And even a nursing home?"
"Yes. For prisons, look for death row and life prisoners. For hospitals, look for terminal care and those with life-debilitating illnesses. For nursing homes, prioritize seniors with a history of military, law enforcement, and combat backgrounds."
"Patron, that's a bit..."
"My lord, aren't you being a little too cruel?"
"And you call me a scammer? You would practically be the devil at this point, my lord," Phillip scoffed.
I looked at the peanut gallery and smiled.
"What? The strongest regrets make the strongest {Fates}. Then wouldn't the people I listed have the highest potential? The ones who wasted away for a crime. Those who lost in the genetic lottery. Those who lived to be old and regretted their choices."
This was my answer to the need for reapers in Hellsgate. Looking for those on the brink of death could go one of two ways. They could either desperately want to live, or they could just as easily not have it in them to go any further.
When all that was needed was their consent. Why was it necessary to wait until they died?
"The devil in the legends always portrayed demons as those who tempted people to sin. For those who never had a choice, would they even care? I will guide these lost souls, and I guarantee you that these people would have the necessary regret to give birth to {Fates}."
"But none of them are dying, Patron? How will you even bring them to Hellsgate?"
Yvonne's stupid question made me smile even more as I gave her a solution.
"Oh, such things can be solved with a bullet."
Phillip, hearing my answer, started to laugh manically.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! As expected from my fucking lunatic of a boss! Brilliant! ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!"
"Stop cursing your boss you psychotic monocled bastard," I replied with a frown. Enjoy exclusive content from empire
"Come now, my lord. Since when are you the type to sweat the small stuff. HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Yvonne and Cynthia smiled wryly as they whispered.
"Girl, I think we made a mistake."
"Hush! Patron has super hearing, and it's not a mistake, Patron has always been, um... special? Right, he is special. Besides, the people will make the choice themselves, anyone. So it is not illegal."
"But still. If you put a cupcake in front of a diabetic who has been starving for a week. Most of them would eat the cupcake even if it kills them. Isn't that manipulation? What my lord intends to do is both unethical and abusive."
"Cynthia, the man pulls guns on people and shoves them in their mouths on a whim. He even shoots anyone who disagrees with him and has no qualms about killing anyone or anything. I think Patron lost all concern for ethics when he was human."
"Hmm. I guess you are right. Ah, whatever! I hope I can get a {Kindred} from somewhere! I want some love, too!" the head of the Ten Graves shouted in defeat.
