My King System

"I don't care!" Yuki replied to the old man inside the GNE building in a stern tone as he wasn't willing to give up for even a second. Hearing Yuki's words, the old man was left speechless as only someone with less than half a brain cell would refuse such an offer. Especially when the stakes are stacked against them like they were for Yuki. In this situation, only a madman would refuse the proposal that was set by the old man.

"Huh? I'm afraid you didn't hear me-" the old man began to speak once again before Yuki stopped him as he didn't have time to deal with little inconveniences such as an annoying old man. Instead, Yuki had bigger and better plans like burning down the entire GNE building and instead becoming the number 1 news producing outlet in the world. 

Of course if Yuki would be willing to commit to that plan, it wouldn't allow for a leader who was merciful to his enemies. The world of media was a world unlike any seen before. Just a single statement could make or break a person. No matter how powerful, intelligent or wealthy a person was, they would always be influenced or affected by the media in some form. Due to that, having control over that whole large sector would mean that Yuki would not only have the title of the clan leader for the clan that is unquestionably known as the strongest clan in the world along with being the one who controls the biggest Jews producing network. 

Without even realizing it, Yuki was becoming one of the most influential people in the world as word began to quickly spread across the world that Yuki was already making his moves and wasn't showing any signs of slowing down any time soon..

"Come on Yuki, please consider this. You wouldn't want your clan's reputation to be ruined just for killing us, right? I mean you've got so much more to live for. Even if you kill us, another news organization will just step up to the job and start to manipulate the world just like we are," the old man tried to explain to Yuki which didn't seem to be working but just raised some questions which Yuki wanted to have answered.

"Wait, didn't you say that this conversation is being recorded? If that's the case, you've just admitted to your sins and plans to have someone else dominate the news era and manipulate the rest of the world. That's basically an easy concession. Through you admitting to that, you will either ruin both our reputation or maybe even yours alone as once your recording is released, not only will they see what I said but also what you said. That way, they'll realize that you're the villain and not me. In the end, I'll be seen as a hero while you'll be looked at as nothing but dirty scum who manipulated others for their money.

"Actually, that would be where you're wrong, you might have thought that we can only use the original copies of our recordings as you would need to have a little limitation set in your ability. Of course that would be correct in most cases but we've already made enough sacrifices for these recorders to work just fine," the old man smiled with an odd grin which left Yuki confused.

"What are you talking about? Can you just get to the point already?" Yuki asked in an inpatient voice.

"Sure, I guess there's no point in building suspense while I'm around you," the only man said as he gave a disappointed sigh at Yuki since he wasn't willing to play along with whatever game the weird old man had planned to play with Yuki's head.

"To make things brief, the recorders not only have the ability to record what you say but also are capable of editing these recordings so that only the wanted parts would be published for the public eye. In other words, I can say whatever I want and no one can say anything to me since I have proof against them but they don't have proof against me", the only man explained.

"Oh see, that's quite troublesome. I guess I'll just have to face the consequences of my actions," said Yuki with a grin equal to the sinister levels of the smile which the old man had on his face as he believed that he had still won. After finding out what was truly going on, the old man full heartedly believed that Yuki would back off. After all, all he would gain from attacking the old man would be to an immeasurable amount of backlash.

"Like I said before, old man. I just don't care. You can have all the world's news against me. It won't matter as at the end of the day, all of you are going to die here today so just give up already and accept your fate," said Yuki in an evil tone.

"Please Yuki don't do this! There's no need for you to go this far," the old man pleaded while walking backwards while Yuki continued to walk forward. After a few seconds of the exchange going back and forth, the old man finally hit a wall behind him as he fell down in despair while Yuki just continued to walk forward until there was only a few centimetres of a gap between them.

"No what happened to all that confidence? What happened to you threatening me? Where did all of that go?" Yuki asked as he continued to grin while despair continued to shroud the old man as he looked at the devil himself who was standing in front of him.

"Please sure, I didn't mean to offend you. It was truly a misunderstanding. This recording will be deleted instantly along with any remaining videos which you do not approve of. To add on, we'll wipe out anything bad we said about you," the old man continued to try to strike a deal as the fear of death continued to approach him while Yuki's gaze grew sharper which seemed to pierce directly through the old man's soul and frighten him to the point where his legs were shaking.

"Nope, I'm pretty sure you were clear on what you wanted to imply. You thought that you could defeat me by just some threats. You know what will happen to you right? There is no place for mercy in this mission. Anyone and everyone who is considered an enemy of mine shall be killed without question," said Yuki with his dark eyes which seemed to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. That was when the old man began to finally understand how helpless his situation was. No matter how much he begged or cried, no one would come to his rescue. No employees or coworkers which were in the higher echelon of GNE. The old man was truly alone.

"I see. I guess there's no way for me to escape from this. It was my mistake for getting overconfident anyway. I deserved this fate from the start," the old man said with a sigh as he was clearly disappointed in himself for being so foolish and ending up in a situation such as this.

Just as Yuki prepares to use his ability and kill the old man in a single instant, a giant meteor-like object came from nowhere as it came crashing down and landing right in the gap between Yuki and the old man. Of course their origin gap would be too small and the gap which was now created was because Yuki moved away in the last second so that he couldn't get hit. As such, the gap between him and the old man was bigger and there was something standing in his way as well which looked like trouble.

"Huh? What the hell was that?" Yuki asked in a confused tone while the smoke that was created by the landing of the meteor-like object began to clear as it revealed something.

Under the smoke was a group of 5 people which 3 of the 5 people looked extremely familiar to him.

"Good evening Yuki Kaito. It's always a pleasure to see you," a woman's voice as she walked towards Yuki.

"Come on, he already knows us. There's no need to be so polite with him anyway. After all, what kind of criminal deserves even an ounce of respect?" the second man which Yuki seemed to recognize out of the 5 people said to the woman.

"Both of you are getting off track. We came here to accomplish our mission. We aren't here to have some meaningless conversation, let's get the job done and let's leave as quickly as possible. The less trouble we get ourselves in, the better," the 3rd man, who was a tall buff, explained to the other 2, which Yuki seemed to recognize. 

As for the other 2 members, Yuki had slightly remembered them but not fully as the 3 which he already recognized already left a lasting impression on him.
