284 No Clue

Sylvie, who was sitting in her office, received a message from Amelia, but a frown appeared on her face.

The reason she was asking Amelia about this constantly was that she had already tried to get information about the girl who was Asher's partner at the Kalvas Gala.

But the problem was, no information about this girl existed when she tried to search for her.

"Who exactly is this girl?" Sylvie wondered as she looked at the photo of Asher and Alyssa dancing just before the incident occurred.

Sylvie deduced that whoever this person was, they were using some kind of artifact to alter their identity.

"Should I ask Emmy about this?" Sylvie pondered for a second but, knowing that Asher was smart enough not to fall for other's tricks, she gave up on it for now.

But it was only for now.

She wanted to hear about this directly from Asher.

Forcing Emmy was one thing she could do, but they had already positioned Emmy as a personal servant for Asher, and she didn't want to go back on her words.

Even Arthur had told Sylvie not to think too much about it as he didn't want to intervene until Asher came to talk to them first.

"Am I overthinking this?" Sylvie couldn't help wondering.

But as she was pondering this, she received a message from Asher.

Seeing the message, Sylvie just sighed.

"So he doesn't want to tell me about it," Sylvie said, feeling a bit sad.

In his message, Asher only wrote that she didn't need to worry too much about it.

It was a simple message that implied that Asher was aware of what he was doing.

"I guess it's better than what I was worried about," Sylvie thought.

When Asher spoke at the representative tournament, some people thought that he was defending Alyssa Astaria, but the rumors were carefully suppressed.

Sylvie thought it was better if Asher's public image changed because of this, so she stopped for now.

Knock!

Sylvie looked at the door, where her assistant entered the room.

"Did you get all the information?" She asked her assistant.

"Yes, but the source is unknown," The woman wearing office attire replied as she presented a file to Sylvie.

"Hmmm...Unknown Source, and so many people getting targeted at once," Sylvie muttered,

"Well, give a few of them the offers that I mentioned," Sylvie said as she closed the file.

"But no need to try too hard," She put the file away.

But rather than an offer, it was a blatant takeover as Sylvie wanted to take full advantage of their current downfall.

But she was a bit behind as a single company had offered a secret contract and the deals were currently underway.

Tom was currently in contact with multiple people as he presented himself as the representative of Aztech.

"So we just need to sign this deal?" One of the five in the current video call asked.

"Yeah, we will stop the News Sources of Somaria from broadcasting anything about it," Tom replied.

"I heard that your Aztech is owned by Asher Greville," One of them said,

"It wouldn't look good if the public found out that the Elite Families are offering such contracts," He said.

"Well, if you don't want the deal you can leave, I only act on the instructions I was given," Tom replied.

Normally, none of them would have accepted this contract as they would have other options that could save them, but somehow it wasn't the case.

"You can see even right now, more than 10 people like you all over the internet, and if you don't want to accept the contract then you can leave the call," Tom responded.I think you should take a look at

Tom had sent them the details he gained from data breach and he was using the status of the Greville Family to mask the truth that he was the one that spread all this information.

All of them were thinking that this information was gained from the news sources, and the actual person that spread all this news was someone else.

'I wonder why we didn't offer all those people this same deal,' Tom didn't understand why Asher destroyed so many people when he could have offered them a similar deal.

But he didn't know that all the people who were suffering the most right now were the people who were involved with Osbert and they would never betray Osbert Tarvian out of fear.

But the current people Tom was offering these contracts to were the future supporters that helped make the company that Leonard and Reece introduced into a huge corporation that took over the Hunter market in 5 years.

He remembered the conversation he had with Asher regarding this before Asher left for the Kalvas Gala.

"Boss, if we also make them join us, it will benefit us more," Tom said,

"No need, they are useless for us," Asher replied.

Not a single person on Tom's list would join hands with them, knowing that they would be openly betraying Osbert.

For them, the Chairman of the World Association was far more terrifying than the Heir of the Greville family.

That's why his target shifted to the others who were coerced in by Leonard and Reece in the coming 5 years.

What Asher wanted was control of the economy in Belvoria and Fashia. Even if it was not large enough, it didn't matter to him for now.

Each of the people that would fall would be consumed by someone else pretty soon.

The important factor was that those who gained the most were under his control.

"But even if Osbert Tarvian is away, isn't Leonard Tarvian enough to move the World Association?" Tom asked,

"They are not Elite Families," Asher replied.

The answer to the question Tom asked was simple. The World Association was not under a single family's control. Without Osbert Tarvian, Leonard had no actual power to move the World Association's officials.

Unlike Asher, who could command the Greyhounds at his will, Leonard was not in a similar position. Unlike Asher's fixed position, the Chairman of the World Association was determined by a different council.

The World Association's hunters had no obligation to follow Leonard's orders unless they were explicitly directed to do so by Osbert himself.

'And he will not do anything especially with this,' Asher thought as he remembered that the whole business thing remained quite secretive even after they introduced their products in the market.

Tom remembered Asher's words so he was sure that all this would go as planned until Osbert Tarvian returned.

"We need some time to think about it," One of them said.

"Take your time, but remember the conditions might change the next time we speak," Tom said, making a few of them think hard about this.

But eventually, all of them left the meeting.

"I knew they wouldn't accept this outright," Tom said as he looked at the contract which was basically them agreeing to become a slave for Asher Greville in a way.

The only reason they didn't outright reject the idea was because their options were very limited.

The thing they were hoping for was the fact that this whole calamity would be resolved and they could find other ways to safeguard themselves.

Ping!

A sound came from Tom's system as he observed the slowly increasing progress of the program he had designed for Asher.

Tom was working diligently to create a hole in the Security Wall as soon as possible so that Asher could get the artifact inside the World Academy.

Meanwhile, in the Outer Sector of the World Academy, Asher was heading towards the Great Forest. His goal was to enhance his level, but he was constrained by the restrictions on his ID Bracelet.

This meant he couldn't access areas inhabited by stronger monsters, and his time in the Great Forest was also limited to 20 hours per week.

The furthest he could venture was to places inhabited by a few Peak C Rank Monsters.

Despite these limitations, which were a bit harsher and stricter than those for senior year students, Asher was allowed to enter the Great Forest as a first-year student.

Asher had three motives for venturing into the Great Forest. The first was to level up and absorb those monsters to bolster his strength.

The second was to feed Rifir, and the third was to enhance his mastery in his sword and mage arts.
