Chapter 104: Problem of Command
Chapter 104: Problem of Command
Henry, or as his alias goes, Hens, was more than shocked to find out that Aldritch was the Lord of the house, the same person he had been looking to rope into their organization.
'I'll be damned, to think the lord of the house is the same man I was trying to rope into our ranks… hahaha' He chuckled internally, marveling at the turn of events.
'Now that I look at it, it makes sense that he was able to run from the academy without being caught.' If he could gauge Aldritch's strength before, now, it seemed as if Aldritch had sealed off his strength, it was hard to tell just how strong he was now.
Alongside Henry, Edward Armstrong was also part of the group present as representatives.
Aldritch met with them and they discussed talked on a few things, especially how their organization would operate moving forward. Even though Aldritch had never been a gangster in his former life, the meeting felt much like one the dominant gang would have with a weaker gang whose territory has been occupied by the stronger one.

Aldritch could feel the subtle resistance from the representatives, but he completely ignored it. Well, he didn't blame Maggie for not taking prior measures and brainwashing them using her racial skill or getting aid from a witch to enslave them first before turning them, she would learn from this in case of next time.
"As long as we aid the common folk, we have no complains."
This was something Aldritch wasn't really ok with hearing.
"Of course, our objectives do tally in that aspect, so I am quite positive of a smooth relationship." Aldritch said with a calm and approving smile, spilling words he did not truly believe in through his teeth.
Seeing Aldritch, everyone was more than pleased, perhaps, only Maggie could tell that her Lord definitely didn't mean what he said in the real sense of it.
Aldritch went ahead to put Maggie as the leader of the group, or perhaps, more like their major representative, that meant she was now amongst their circle of important decision makers, which is almost none existent because of the nature of management within the Chivalrous Saints.
The group was free to leave once their meeting was done. They were free to hang around a bit, but they chose otherwise, another sign Aldritch caught on to. Once they left, Aldritch had a little talk with Maggie concerning her mistake with the bunch.
As for the man who posed as Rodney Lancaster, he remained with the group of self-righteous commoners, maintaining his identity. Now that they still had a 'will' of theirs, things such as trust still had to be maintained.
In the real sense of things, it wasn't so easy to build a vampire army, since no normal person would just bend and follow orders from someone who already would definitely have ruined their normal lives to turn them into night walking minions. Brainwashing and memory alteration was a basic necessity the way Aldritch saw it.
In the event he doesn't tamper with their minds, even though he could rule with fear and force everyone to follow his orders and will, that would only fester an impending betrayal in time to come, and it would only birth a lot of rogues.
Now left alone, Aldritch thought about something he had decided to do when taking a walk around the city some weeks ago. His family was rapidly increasing in number, and the number of powerful vampires by evolution rank was also increasing. If he was to maintain order, there was a need for the existence of a form of Hierarchy.
'That'll be after the whole invasion and takeover plan is done…' For the time being, Aldritch went into the study to read up on some books that may give him an insight on how the hierarchy should be.
He could just ask Ingrid to handle it, but he felt that something as important as this should be handled by he himself, he could always ask of other's opinion later, perhaps, even Ralwa could be of help in such a matter.
A few hours into his study, Aldritch was suddenly interrupted. It was Lada who sort his attention.
"Master, it's the cult, they've finally taken this seriously. They just tracked my location a few minutes ago, and I'm sure other forms of divination magic have been used to do more than locate me, they might even be spying on me, on us, as we speak." She said.
Even though she was not panicked, there was still a sense of urgency in her tone.
Listening to her, Aldritch quietly closed the book he had in his hand before placing it in front of him.
"There's no need to be so heated up, is there?" Aldritch asked, his voice calm.
"Since we've prepared and anticipated such an event, we have put in place several measures… I'm just a little worried." Lada said, her voice slightly tensed, but the tension was reducing gradually.
"My dear Lada, do you doubt the might of our family?" Aldritch asked, his tone still the same as before, calm, but this time it appeared to exude a level of coldness.
"Of course not, master." Lada responded sincerely, and a little apprehensive in her words, from her master's tone, it seemed she might have angered him.
Aldritch stood up casually and walked up to Lada, cupping her chin with his hand in a light touch, "if they wish to spy on us, let them, they'll see so much they'd wish they were here." He said, locking lips with Lada, kissing her intently for almost a minute before separating from her.
"Hahh~ hahh~ hahhh~~ master~~" Lada said in a breathy voice.
Aldritch looked at the aroused woman before him, a smirk forming on the side of his mouth. He couldn't help but tease her further, seeing the look on her face.
After about three minutes of caressing her juicy ass lovingly, Aldritch took his hand off her, drawing out an almost complaining puff from Lada who had been waiting for such an event for weeks now, "Go lock the door." Aldritch said, turning around to take off the light sleeveless inner jacket he had on.
With a broad expectant smile, Lada answered, "yes, master!"
