Chapter 19: The Game Master's cruel plan!

After Brolu left, Tetsuya gathered the bandits that were aware of his status, "You are lucky ones, aren't you?" He said with a smile on his face while holding the cup of tea with another. Behind him was a woman with red-hair that wore 'slave' clothes. Many bandits blinked a few times because her curves were exposed, but they were all on the pure path!

Their eyes soon turned to Tetsuya and stayed like that until he stopped talking, "We are lucky, boss!" They shouted in unison, then waited for Tetsuya Boss to speak further.

"I have a plan, a cruel plan actually." Tetsuya finally went into details. "This world is the cruelest with its betrayals and schemes, though. Anyway, you are going to set up a village." The plan was to set up the village. This village would be operated by the bandit bosses, but their village wouldn't be a normal one. It would be a village with protecting services. The bandits blinked their eyes innocently when they heard it.

"What is the main income for these gorillas? Food from their farms and dead bodies of the beasts. They solely rely on strength to keep those going. The resources from the beasts and food are sold through other villages and the main cities." Tetsuya pointed at the surrounding cities and villages.

All those were far away from the Mystic Academy that took the most room on the map.

"I will control the game rune and influence the surrounding beasts," Tetsuya said with a voice void of any emotion.

One of the former bandits stuttered, "T-this might be too dangerous for them. Even we had set up our camps far away from the beasts." Those villagers surely wouldn't survive the stronger beasts! The beasts with settings changed sounded too frightening even for the bandit bosses.

"I want them to face losses," Tetsuya answered with a similar voice. "That's called adapting. And I won't allow beasts to kill them all so that you can benefit out of it. The goal is to completely overthrow the villager's business and make them addicted to your services."

There were a few things that needed to be done before this plan could come to fruition. It was not only the beast's modification but also the whole village had to be built. Tetsuya wanted the village to look astonishing and breath-taking, but also simple. Albeit simple, the village would bring a feeling of security to every visitor.

"There are many former slaves who don't know what to do with their lives, Tetsuya Boss." The bandit boss called Suyin spoke about the slaves. Those slaves were living with them all this time and helped to gather the slave merchants under Tetsuya's order. It was far better than going back to the city where they would be alone!

"No one wants to return to their families? I guess the treatment they received is too deep." The game master thought while holding his chin. "Those slaves still teach a lot of new knowledge to your women, though. This village might be as well as their new home." The bandits' women were former sluts that mainly knew how to work for men. They had to learn a lot about their daily lives here and other common stuff. It wasn't like that for every woman, but it was still the majority.

The former slaves benefited from such sharing and the same went for bandits and their women. They were already like villagers and just needed the proper place.

"Everyone must know how to fight. The former slaves that know nothing about it must learn at least the basics. Then, our protecting service will upgrade. Now, go." Tetsuya shooed everyone by flicking his fingers. He also made the quest at the same time that landed in everyone's minds. They were not far away and Ashley spread her consciousness to pass the quest.

This quest was to build the village.

Once the former bandits left, Reyas parted her lips, "You will gather noble's attention." It was rather too obvious, but that was what Tetsuya wanted. He instantly made her realize it with his irritating side glance.

As Reyas flinched and turned to the side, his voice rang in her ear, "I want that loyalty rune."

"Do you believe your village will be able to sustain the damages from all the nobles?" Reyas then probed more into his plan and ideas. She wanted to know what Tetsuya thought of those nobles, but it was all about the world which annoyed her.

But in her 'slave suit,' Reyas didn't even think of speaking too much.

"Just look at the map and you will understand my movement. Everything that will fall into my hands from those nobles will strengthen me. There is no exception here. And if some rune turns out to be unworthy like yours, then I will find another person to join my ranks." Tetsuya then stood up from his chair. He didn't need to move a lot to face Reyas. Once he got close, his hand went up. He slowly caressed Reyas' soft cheek that was warm. "It seems like you can't fully experience what slaves had to go through."

The cold nights were nothing and due to her slave rune, Reyas had far better treatment than others. She was the reason why other slaves got freed so easily and other slave merchants could become the slaves. In a nutshell, she was a valuable player. "Tonight, you will take off this cloth." He then smirked and turned around to go for another small hunt. Tetsuya has been hunting for more slave merchants to have cannon fodder in his group. It was as simple as that.

Following him was a mature woman whose expression was mixed with irritation and a slight blush. "I hate.. this bastard." Reyas' future would be way worse if she were a man, though. She thoroughly would lose her freedom and be at the wish of everyone here including the former slaves.

As she thought about that, her irritation subsided, but only a little. Then, Reyas reached out for her pipe and lit it up. Since Tetsuya had no problems with her keeping a weapon and her important memorial, Reyas could freely smoke to the point where she no longer found Tetsuya annoying.

But it was as long as he stood silent.
