The next day, at dawn.
Bright sunlight streamed in through the window.
Vega had just gotten out of bed when two identical maids, with long black hair reaching their waists, voluptuous figures, and around twenty years old, pushed open the door and walked in.
The two women were beautiful and dressed in black and white maid outfits. Their black stockings accentuated their fair skin, making them a striking sight.
Two maids walked gracefully through the room, which was covered with expensive carpets, and called out softly, "Master, we are your servants."
As they spoke, the two maids stepped forward, ready to change his clothes themselves.
Vega paused for a moment, then immediately waved his hand slightly to stop the two men, and asked with a frown, "Who are you?"
How did I end up here?
Of course, Vega didn't think there was anything wrong with the twins; he just wanted to know who had arranged it.
The two twin maids replied respectfully in soft voices, "Master, it was Lord Kolok who instructed us to serve you."
Lord Kolok said, "Master, you cannot be without someone to serve you."
Your status is so noble, how could you be without servants to attend to you? Therefore, for the time being, we two sisters will be assigned to serve you in your daily life.
"Was it arranged by Kolok?" Vega nodded. The only person capable of making such an arrangement was probably this cautious and scheming fellow.
Although Vega didn't like people making decisions on his own, he didn't bother to call and reprimand Crook for the sake of the twins.
"Alright, I don't like being served like this." Vega saw the two twin maids prepare to help him dress after answering his question.
Vega immediately stopped them, casually saying, "Alright, you two go prepare breakfast for me!"
He was somewhat unaccustomed to such close contact with strangers.
Seeing the twin maids blink their bright eyes and hesitate as they said, "But...we're here to serve you, Master!"
Vega waved his hand, his face serious, and said, "I have my own rules. From now on, you'll be working for me, so you must listen to me."
"Otherwise…" Vega glanced at the two of them, "I won't keep disobedient people around."
"Yes, sir." Upon hearing this, the twin maids immediately bowed their heads respectfully and went outside to prepare breakfast.
After watching the two beautiful and charming twin maids leave.
Vega remembered the system and wanted to know how many experience points he had gained last night.
However, to his utter surprise, apart from the experience points he gained in the conference hall, the subsequent operation by Korok and the Shadow Warriors to wipe out the small gang alliance did not give him any more experience points.
Vega couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Did Kroc not send the Shadow Warriors to fight?
But that's impossible!
Under his orders, Kolok could not disobey them, but the system's experience points had not increased at all.
Thinking about this, Vega couldn't help but ponder, "It seems there are special requirements for gaining experience points!"
After all, the Shadow Warrior had also gained experience points when he killed enemies.
But now there's been no gain whatsoever; the only difference is that he wasn't there when the killings happened.
In other words, is there a distance requirement for the system to acquire experience points?
Because I am too far away, I cannot gain experience points.
Vega couldn't help but frown. In this situation, if a conflict broke out with the enemy, he would have no choice but to keep charging ahead.
His original plan was to send out Shadow Warriors to hunt down hardened criminals. Vega even considered finding an opportunity to grant others the right to use certain artifacts.
When the time comes, let the shadow warriors accompany these people to hunt down powerful prey, while you stay in a safe place to gain experience points.
But now that there are distance restrictions, his plan has completely fallen through.
"It seems we need to make other plans."
…
After breakfast, Vega learned from the inquiry that Kolok had set off last night with all his men and eliminated most of the major organizations in the small gang alliance.
However, because there were too many gangs in this alliance and the personnel were a mixed bag, Kolok did not complete the mission until morning.
Although Kolok was somewhat tired at this moment, he was still pleased to hear that Vega had inquired about his whereabouts.
Kolok arrived immediately.
"Young Master, the small gang alliance has been almost completely wiped out, with only some low-level members still outside. Do we still need to continue wiping out those people?" Kolok asked in a low voice.
After thinking for a moment, Vega shook his head. He decided to ignore the minor characters and focus on cleaning up the cadres and high-ranking officials.
"After all, we're short-handed with the Vongola family right now, so we can select some people we like to take in." Vega, worried that Korok might recruit just anyone, added:
"Better to have none than to have bad ones. Among the remaining people, we should examine their character. Only those who have not committed any major crimes should be accepted."
Nodding, Kolok indicated that he understood.
Korok then began to report on the spoils of the operation: several casinos, a dozen bars, and some clubs had been taken over by the Vongola family, and they had even obtained over a billion Jenny in cash.
Vega sipped his coffee while listening to Kolok's report, until Kolok finished.
Vega tapped the table, and only after Crook looked over did he speak, "Let's not talk about these little things anymore."
"Yesterday I asked you to send someone to follow that old Jack. Did you get any important information?"
Kolok replied somewhat awkwardly, "Young Master, although I sent a few people to follow them, I only know that Jack and the others went to a secluded club, but that club is too heavily guarded, and my men couldn't get in at all."
The only information we received was that those people stayed in the club for over two hours, and when they came out, they were all smiles and seemed to be intoxicated, as if something happy had happened.
Upon hearing this, Vega sneered. "It seems that Jack and his cronies are already making moves in secret, and it must be information that pleases them."
"Young Master, are you saying... they're already preparing to deal with the Vongola Family?" Korok's face showed a hint of surprise.
"certainly."
"After all, I pressured them like that yesterday, forcibly subduing them and turning them from high-ranking city councilors into subordinates who had to obey my orders."
"Do you think most people would be overjoyed?" Vega continued, "They would definitely be filled with resentment, but now, just two hours later, they're unusually happy."
"The only possibility is that Jack and other congressmen have joined forces with someone else."
Vega stroked his chin and began to analyze: "Even if they joined forces, they couldn't fight against the Vongola family. In this situation, the only possibility is that they have joined forces with a powerful force."
"The forces that are willing to join forces with them must be those we have offended. Ordinary people won't come to fight us to the death for no reason."
"And I said yesterday that I would wipe out the pharmaceutical powder industry in Naklo City, and this market belongs to the Ten Elders."
"So tell me, which of Jack's city councilors are most likely to contact whom?" Vega picked up his coffee and took a sip.
Kolok immediately blurted out, "It's the Ten Elders."
"That's right." Vega chuckled and said, "So get ready! The Ten Elders will be sending people to take action soon."
"Go and investigate first. Find out which of the Ten Elders we offended because of the flour business. Focus on finding out information about him."
"Oh, right." Seeing that Kolok was about to go out to investigate intelligence, Vega called out to him and said casually, "Keep a close eye on Jack's city councilors, and while you're at it, see who among our people is suitable to be a city councilor."
"Yes, young master." Upon hearing these pointed words, Kolok immediately understood their meaning.
