Asura Conqueror

Chapter 57: Marcus's Plan

For Marcus, the drink only tasted like the drinks he usually drank.

But it was different for Leo. His eyes shone after it went down his throat. He savored every last bit of taste that remained in his mouth.

"That is the best drink I've had!" Leo exclaimed.

Leo's shock wasn't over. He felt his body was more relaxed. His mana started to flow a little bit better.

"This?" Leo could feel tiny changes in his body.

"That will be one of the drinks that will be served in the nightclub." Marcus finally made up his mind and chose a nightclub.

He, Eva, and Nexus already talked about this in the past two days during dinner. Eva was fine with either, Nexus wanted to go for a nightclub that's close to the boulevard, and he, Marcus was the one who had not decided yet, until now.

Marcus casually placed his shot glass and the bottle back in his spatial ring.

"The ones we will be serving will have lesser effects than this but a lot more compared to our competitors and our prices won't be as expensive." Marcus's hands were on the armrest of the chair.

Leo looked at his ring and then he looked at Marcus and said, "Aren't you worried about me telling my family or any other people about this?"

"No," Marcus chuckled. "Because I'm the only one who'll give you the chance to get rid of your brother."

Nexus was the one who told him that Leo and his brother were not on the best terms with each other.

Leo froze. His brother, Krey Flavus, has been a bane to him ever since he could remember. He wanted him to disappear from this world forever.

"You're someone who lacks support in your family. The reason is most likely because you're too soft, am I right? Your family needs a better and more ruthless leader and that makes your brother a priceless treasure." Marcus calmly spoke.

A few seconds of silence descended upon the room before Leo sighed. "You're right. Don't worry, I won't say a word about this."

'Of course, you won't, or else I'm going to activate the poison you just ingested.' Marcus inwardly said.

On the outside, He smiled. "That's great."

Marcus thought of something and changed the topic. "Why were you in Kellar that day?"

Leo wryly smiled. "I was looking for my fiance."

Marcus had a slightly surprised look on his face. "You mean the young lady from the Xalia family? You must really love her."

Leo nodded. "Don't get me wrong, I have no feelings for her. We were friends when we were children but slowly started to drift apart in our teens. I heard she ran away when her father told her of the engagement. I felt guilty so I looked for her."

"You have no feelings for her?" Marcus asked.

Leo dryly chuckled "How can I have time for love when I have a target clearly painted at my back. But I actually planned on loosening up a bit."

"Work hard for the company and your brother will be 6 feet below courtesy by your own hands in the near future." Marcus smiled.

"Are you really capable?" Leo asked. He's still quite pensive about trusting Marcus.

Marcus released an aura of destruction in the room. Vermilion mixed with black like steam could be seen coming out of his body.

"Just do what I told you. Remember, you owe me a debt." Marcus said as he stood up.

He and Leo exchanged numbers. Marcus didn't stay long and left after his business here was finished.

Leo stood up, looked around, and noticed that he was actually sitting on this side of the table.

'Did I just fall into a trap?'

-----

Marcus walked out of the building. He was as happy as a clam. He's finally finished with his list.

After Zoey asked to invest in their business, he did a quick search on the other big families in Estra.

There were five. They were the Strongwald family, Frey family, Xalia family, Minser family, and the Flavus family. Ranked from greatest to least in terms of power and influence.

Marcus thought that it would be best to have a few of them invest in his tiny company. He would leave out the top two and take the lower three. That way, when they grow, the 3 families that were on their boat would also grow.

That would make the power balance of the 5 families shake. Marcus would not have to fight right away as the first ones to clash would be the five families.

He also read that the Frey family and the Flavus family have a good relationship, while the Frey family and the Strongwald family are enemies.

Marcus thought that there is a good chance that the Strongwald family will get dethroned.

When they will be fighting amongst each other, Marcus and the gang will silently grow.

-----

In a white colored car, a man who rarely wears pants, and a woman who wore a mustard sweater and gray and white checkered skirt were sitting on the back seat.

The atmosphere wasn't awkward since they are pretty much used to being alone together.

Nexus cleared his throat and asked, "Did you call your sister?"

Eva shook her head. "I want to surprise her. I hope she isn't busy though."

Nexus chuckled. "It's a Sunday, humans are supposed to rest on this day, so how can she be busy?"

It didn't take long before they finally arrived in front of Estra University. There stood a huge blue gate and two guards.

Nexus and Eva got out of the car. They stepped on the stone pavement and walked towards the gate.

It was open, so they proceeded to go inside.

On the left was a guardhouse.

The guards looked at them. One of the two asked, "The school office is closed, you can come back tomorrow."

"I'm actually here to see someone. Her name is Emily Lux, she's a new professor here." Eva spoke. Her voice had both excitement and nervousness in it.

The guard who Eva spoke to, nodded. This wasn't weird. Visitors usually come during the weekend.

"Wait one sec while I try to contact her room. Do you want to give your name?" The guard pressed a few buttons.

Eva shook her head. "Just tell her that it's something urgent."

The guard nodded.

In a bedroom that had an area of 150 square meters, a woman was sitting on a cushioned chair in front of a wooden desk. On the table, there were a few pieces of paper that are neatly filed, and a lamp.

There was also a gadget that looked similar to a laptop in the middle which was currently being used by the woman.

She yawned and stretched her arms upwards which lifted her shirt. It showed her belly button and sexy hips. She had just woken up and planned to finalize how she's going to open her class tomorrow.

She slowly and drowsily typed a couple of words. Not even 5 minutes in, a small thin box that's beside her door rang.

She hurriedly stood up, walked towards it, and pressed a green button.

"Miss Emily Lux?" A voice on the other side checked if he got the right room.

"Yes, this is she," Emily answered.

"There is someone looking for you here at the gate. She says it's urgent." The guard said.
