YM778.TV Chapter 127 - Mr. Y
While the remnants of the 3 kingdoms continued to search for more kingdoms to inform of the horrible deeds Yuki had committed. The guide had managed to return to the base of operation in which his leader, Mr. Y resided. As the good underling he was he told Mr. Y exactly what he had seen.
"Are you kidding me?!" Mr. Y said in anger which made the guide freeze in fear.
"No, you can relax. I\'m not angry at you. I\'m just mad at the fact that those useless mercenaries died without bringing us Yuki\'s head. At least we didn\'t give them the money beforehand. We got lucky this time. We ended up not losing any of our actual members. Unlike those stupid rulers of the kingdoms which brought their own people to their doom. Matter of fact, could you go check on the situation of the kingdoms which participated in the battle?" Mr. Y asked the guide.
"With pleasure," the guide replied before leaving to make his way towards each of the 3 kingdoms which participated in the battle.
Once he had left, one of the 8 special members, who each had a roman number written across their chair depending which one of the 8 they were, spoke up.
"Why did you send him to do that? The battle is already over, it\'s just a waste of time to try and scout the area for new members," the one with VII (7) on his chair said.
"Do you remember why I\'m called Mr. Y?" Mr. Y asked.
"...Because no one should ask you \'why\'," VII replied as he swallowed his spit in fear.
"That\'s exactly right. Let this be a warning to you. I don\'t want to be asked such a foolish question ever again," said Mr. Y.
VII stayed quiet as he didn\'t even bother asking what would happen if he didn\'t comply with the rules and regulations that Mr. Y had set up. To argue with him was the same thing as asking for a death sentence. There are 3 types of ways to rule the world, those being, wealth, fame, and power. What Mr. Y had neither power nor fame. The reason Mr. Y was able to control such a massive underground force was because of wealth. Mr. Y made the wise choice to ignore the route of being the first level 100 player in the world and instead sought everlasting wealth. The fastest way for Mr. Y to get rich was by getting involved in shady activities.
"If you must know Seven (VII), I sent him to scout the area in case the kingdoms opted for an attack strategy which only forced the males of each kingdom. If that stands to be true, that only leaves women and children which if you don\'t know what I\'m getting at by now, we can kidnap and sell them. It\'s the perfect set up," said Mr. Y.
"Did you plan all of this all along? Was it really a plan to take two birds with one stone? While all the men were off to fight and die, you would go and kidnap the woman and children. To add on to that, you sent the mercenaries to fight off Yuki but instead of sending them to kill him, you only sent them to test his strength. In the end you knew the entire time that they would fail... right?" said the one seated at seat VI (6).
"That\'s exactly right. I planned for this all along," replied Mr. Y.
"That was too complex even for me to predict. I had done everything on a whim but these idiots still believed everything I said," Mr. Y thought to himself.
Each of the 8 gasped as they couldn\'t comprehend the genius who was their leader. It was as if he could see into the future. An organization with a leader with such a high level of precognition would be unstoppable.
"Wait, I really am a genius. This works out perfectly," Mr. Y thought to himself as he realized something.
"I know you\'re all wondering why I went to such lengths when the money we\'re making is already a good amount and it was a waste of resources to send the people to test out Yuki\'s power. However, I have a very good explanation for that. While they were sent to initially test out Yuki\'s strength, I actually sent them to make Yuki think that we tried to get revenge on him but failed, as such, he\'d let his guard down. Once he\'s done that, we have to try to recruit him. After all, we\'re one in the same since we\'re all criminals here. As the icing on top, we would need a large sum of money to hire him, as such it would\'ve worked out perfectly that all the kingdoms had selected only men to partake in the battle," Mr. Y explained.
Everyone in the room was simply taken aback by the sheer intelligence which their leader carried. For all they knew, Mr. Y could\'ve had another plan which was set up 3 weeks ago which would unveil itself while they were sleeping. It was frightening to think that a single person could have such intelligence. At the end of the day, they were just happy that Mr. Y wasn\'t their enemy.
...
A few hours later, the guide came back storming inside the room which all the members had been waiting for him in. Although his entrance was a bit rude, the guide had a very good reason as to why he had done so.
"Mr. Y, you were right. I checked each of the 3 kingdoms which took part in the battle and not a single grown man could be seen inside any of them.
Right as the guide finished speaking, each of the 8 started clapping. At first he was surprised but still a bit happy that he was getting recognized by the higher members of the crime syndicate. However, he soon realized that they weren\'t clapping for him, in actuality they were clapping for Mr. Y who had explained the plan while the guide was gone.
"Well, that\'s all we needed to hear. Each of you get your squadrons and kidnap as many of them as you can. I, II, III will go to one kingdom, IV, V, VI will go to another kingdom and lastly, VII, VIII along with me will go to the last kingdom," said Mr. Y as they all began to leave.
The guide stood confused as everyone passed him by as they exited the room.
