Time- 13:41

Location- Sky Blossom City, Association Guild Mall, Warehouse no.234

"Humph!" Jaya snorted at Cindy's explanation.

"Boss, I think Cindy is on to something. Coercion seems to be the only way to persuade the local authorities and families from butting in. I know that it is hectic and has a lot of risks, and may let the circle on to us, but this is the only way we can avoid confronting the elitists of the Sun Blossom city. I think you should consider it." Diana did not mind supporting Cindy's idea. This is her way of showing to Cindy that she did not consider Condy as a threat. And a good idea is a good idea no matter where or whom it came from.

"You are right, and Coercion does indeed seem to be the only feasible way for now. How about this, you make a list of all the important bureaucrats and top family leaders. We will only coerce the top of the cream and have them stop the rest of the Sun Blossom city forces from meddling in our decisive battle with Circle. Understood, any doubts?" Coercion may seem to be the only way for an average person, but. I am no average person. I am the proud slayer of dungeon calamity seed. I possess seed's keep ability to turn anybody into my mindless slave. I planned to turn the few vital essential people of the sun blossom city into my calamity daugther gem and use them to block the rest of the authorities and families from meddling with my forces as they tore the circle, Sun Blossom City branch, down brick by brick.

"Brilliant boss, why didn't I think of that?" Said Cindy.

"..." I was rendered speechless by her acting skills. She seemed to be under the wrong impression, so I made one thing clear to her by saying, "Cindy, you led me to that answer. You think. I am a fool not to see what you are doing? Cindy, you don't have to hide behind your acting skills. No matter how quick-witted and sharp you may be, you can never become a threat to me or make me feel threatened. So next time, drop the act and honestly say what's on your mind."

Cindy was the one who brought up kidnapping and coercion. She knew that to control the entire Sun Blossom city, we didn't require coercing every authority and family in the city. As long as we had the city's top dogs under our thumb, we could reign control over the entire city. Yet she took a minor loss to lead me to this conclusion. This woman was getting scarier every passing second.

"Thank you, Boss. I appreciate your heart-to-heart. But I prefer to be a guide and work in the shadows instead of taking the lead and facing the spotlight." Cindy announced that she preferred to be backstage rather than on the stage under the spotlight.

"Do as you see fit. And about the list, prepare it as soon as possible." Since Cindy preferred it, I did not push her and changed the topic to the main issue.

"We have the list right here, boss, but the issue is how do you plan to coerce them? Are you going to take Cindy's idea to kidnap the ones they cherish, or do you have something else in mind? " Diana had the list of top figures in the Sun Blossom city. After all, for Fine Gold to branch in the city, she had to know who could be a threat to her and keep tabs on them.

"About that, can you arrange a meeting with them?" As long as I could meet them in a secluded area, forget coercion, I could turn them into my bottom bitch.

"All of them?" Asked Diana

"Yes, if possible, it would be great. If not, arrange a meeting with the most influential one. With them on our side, we can have them arrange a group meeting with others." My confidence to coerce the top dogs of Sun Blossom City puzzled Diana, Cindy, and Jaya. But I did not plan on solving their confusion. As long as they saw results, they would believe me.

"..." Diana did not know how to answer the confidence shown by her new boss. She did not understand where his confidence stemmed from. Was it the southern emperor? If yes, then the coercion plan may be successful.

"It doesn't have to be the most influential. Just arrange a meeting with any one of the top figures of Sun Blossom city. I will handle it from there." Seeing Diana not answer my request, I thought I was demanding too much and made my requests less demanding.

"No, no… I can arrange a meeting with a few of the top influential figures of Sun blossom city. When do you want me to set this meeting?" Diana hurriedly answered

"As early as possible. Since I have other pressing plans." I don't know when the dungeon relocation will be complete, but I hoped to conclude my job here before leaving for the Royal Palace.

"Yes, boss. I will inform you of the date when set. Hope everything goes according to your plan." Diana responded positively and hoped for the best.

"Play your part and give your best, and leave the rest to me. I will handle it." My victory against Circle was guaranteed. But what concerned me was the civilian casualties. Still, the causality could be minimized as long as every piece arranged by me played its parts to their best.

"Boss, Fine Gold can take care of the transportation of the troops. But, what about the security check at the airstrip. Local authorities are very strict with foreign companies. It will be hard to deceive their eyes." Diana once again brought up the part that was taken for granted. She took it upon herself to come up with a way, but the number of troops was too high; it would be almost impossible for all of them to hide from the inspection of the local city guards.

"Don't worry about that. The new friends we will be making will help us with that."
