CAT WARLOCK: This Darklord Feasts Upon Horror-Chapter 306: Mid-Term

Dust fell to his knees. He felt it. The feeling of no longer owning his life.

"You can leave, Dust. But remember. A word of this and I shall take your head." ’Selina’ put a finger on her lip. "Keep your mouth shut."

Dust nodded frantically and ran away without thinking too much.

’Selina’ turned toward the Syndicate.

"Now. We need new arrangements for our Syndicate." She said.

"Please command us, Your Majesty." Don Elio said.

"Thomas Moriarty will be the new boss of the Syndicate. His word is my word. Effective immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Don Elio said.

’Well. Maybe this situation isn’t that bad after all.’ Tommy felt much better all of the sudden.

"Our new base of operation will now move. The ordinary members can operate at the previous bases as usual but our core members will have a new headquarters.

This place is called the Underpark. Sparrow will lead you there soon.

Our top priority at the moment is to keep everything a secret. You are no longer the infamous Syndicate anymore. You are the Dark Syndicate, operating in the darkness, and leaving no trace behind."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Syndicate shouted.

’Selina’ put her hands behind her back. "Our core mission is power. We accumulate wealth to build our own force, train our own warriors, and gather our own intelligence and influence.

We don’t do street crimes or stupid business anymore. Everyone pour all resources together to invest in the largest industries out there. The Meridian Hotel holds too high of an influence in Aeliz City.

I want their position.

The Zakharovs, the Von Schattenbergs and other ancient families rule the market because of their influence.

I want their wealth.

The Union is the biggest player in everything. They rule this country.

I want their power."

Tommy’s lips trembled.

"Master... Does this mean..."

"My goal is to rule this world. And you live to help me accomplish it." ’Selina’ smiled.

At that brief moment, Chaos covered the sky of that structure. Two eyes appeared in the sky.

Golden. Eerie. Unquestionable.

Mater was just using his Chaos to make a brief illusion. This illusion affected only the people within the structure.

Blanche took a deep breath. The white rat raised her hand, "Long may our lord rule over this land!"

Then the servants chanted it as well, "Long may our lord rule over this land!"

The Syndicate also did, "Long may our lord rule over this land!"

The black cat hid behind the illusions. It covered its mouth to try and contain its laugh.

But it couldn’t.

"Hehehe..."

A maniacal laugh echoed throughout the sky.

"MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

The Syndicate official went under the radar from that day. They became united and stopped giving the police trouble.

The ACPD was weirded out when this first happened. They thought there might be an all out ward that killed all the Syndicate. Or maybe they were planning something bad.

But no, the Syndicate changed overnight. Their establishments stood strong and continued to flourish.

They stopped quarreling between each other and no one even heard of their operations any more.

Aeliz’s C.O.P., Chief of Police, sat in his office. He felt there was something extremely wrong about the Syndicate.

They couldn’t just change overnight. Unless...

The Chief of Police drew a question mark on the paper and pinned it to the evidence board.

All five bosses of the Syndicate pointed toward the question mark.

The Chief wrote under the question mark, "the new boss".

"Call Baltimore in here!"

Alister entered the room and gave the Chief a salute. "You call for me, sir?"

"You want to become a Deputy Commissioner, right?" The Chief said.

"That’s correct, sir."

"I’ll give you a mission. The Syndicate is scheming something. I need you to find out why. If you can do it, the next vacant seat is yours."

"Wait for my good news, Chief!"

The Underpark now became the new headquarters for the Dark Syndicate.

The only members that knew about the existence of Dark Syndicate and had access to it were the highest members and those that Mater had personally put a mark on.

He had to ensure total loyalty before exposing the existence of Underpark.

The Syndicate was rich. They weren’t wealthy because their resources were scattered around and they could barely hang on to them for more than a few years.

Mater moved everything valuable underground and reconstructed the Underpark once more. Now it had two separated sections.

The Dark Park belonged to the Dark Syndicate.

And the Altars where Mater and his people stayed.

Mater wanted to build his own version of the Institute. Both were beneath the ground, but one was made for the elites of the Union. The other was a blade to counter it.

Sooner or later, Mater would come in contact with the Union. He would need his own force to fight them.

Selina was sitting in a spring lake inside the Underpark. Sparrow had constructed this area especially for the girls and Selina a while ago. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

She enjoyed the warmth and healing properties of the spring. She caught the black cat staring at the edge.

"It’s not like you haven’t seen it before." Selina smiled.

"And yet I can’t have enough." The black cat’s deep voice echoed.

"I didn’t think that you wanted to take over the world for real." Selina said.

"So? Now that you know it’s real, what are you going to do?" The black cat stroked his whiskers.

Selina stepped out of the spring lake. Her pale skin glimmered like stars.

"I’ll do what I want to do. And that is to help you realize that dream."

The mid-term examination was arriving. Selina and her classmates were going to an island to participate in the test.

Every student prepared and trained as best as they could. This examination would decide their future. Especially for the freshmen like Selina.

Selina had successfully entered the Student Council and had been the personal secretary for the President since the beginning of the semester.

Sae Seto took a sip from the cup of tea. Her eyes glanced over to the calm secretary that was rearranging the files on the table.

"You know, Selina. We haven’t spent much time outside of this office." Sae said.

Selina smiled gently. "What do you have in mind, President?"

Sae couldn’t help but sneak a few glances at Selina’s collar. Her GAIM made everyone else hard to not notice her chest.

"I’m visiting a few friends. You’re coming?"

"It will be my pleasure."
