Chapter 243 243: What do you say?
As for Victoria, a strange gleam flashed past her eyes, as for what was truly running through her mind, no one present would be able to know.
" Think nothing of it." Su Ping said dismissively, although a light smile played against his lips, " it was merely fates doing that we were able to cross paths."
" That being said, I believe that all Victoria said wasn't completely unusable. If I were to ask of you to create an elite unit of killers for me, would you be able to do so?"
" Of course Master! Anything you ask, even if I'm not able, I shall try to the best of my abilities." She proclaimed hurriedly, her eyes flashing with determination.
" I see..." Su Pings gaze trailed to the side due to her chest trembling strongly just now.
As a spectral lifeform, he didn't understand how that was even possible? Perhaps she could become tangible when needed?
Wait, that wasn't even important right now.
" Rather than killing them all outright. I want you to create a group that will specialise in eliminating any of those hopeless wretched who dare to cause trouble within this city and possibly all those that will soon come under my rule in the coming future. Think of it as a vigilante unit, which I shall entrust to you and Victoria to manage together."
" The both of you shall be Co-Commanders of said units." His proclamation caused the entire bar to turn deathly silent before both Nebula and Victoria exclaimed loudly.
" Master!" They said with eyes filled with disbelief, not expecting such a boon from out of nowhere.
" Think nothing of it. In the future, if we're able to conquer more cities, the both of you shall be responsible of commanding the vigilante unit in those cities as well, of course if the work gets too difficult, you're responsible for recruiting subordinates, although I expect you to bring them before me whenever I'm not too busy, Understand?"
" Of course Master!" The both of them said in unison once more, this time more excited. If they got their own organisation, wouldn't that solidify their place by his side forever?!
Such aspirations naturally didn't go unnoticed by Yu An who's brows were creased in displeasure, unfortunately, she had no way of doing anything that would stop such a thing.
Su Pings words were absolute, to speak against it would be no different than questioning her lord, herself. And that was something she didn't want to do, of course that didn't mean she'd give up right here and now, if it were to come to light that the both of them were unfit for such a position, then it wouldn't be too much for her to voice her misgivings.

Shortly after, Su Ping started walking home with Yu An. Nebula and Victoria watched as both their figures went out of sight, only then did they turn to glance at each other.
" Lady Victoria. I must say, I never expected you to be on the masters side. Of all the Montgomery's, I belived that you'd be the last to turncoat, considering that you are their golden child after all." Said Nebula who hovered in the air with a slight smile, her arms crossed Infront of her chest.
" If you think I'd be willing to betray the master then I'm afraid you thought wrong. It was only thanks to the master that my eyes were finally opened. What's hard in believing that I simply chose to stand by his side."
" I meant nothing of it my lady, I was simply curious is all." Nebula replied back,
Victoria didn't look offended, instead she let out a sigh before staring off into the distance, particularly in the direction had master had disappeared in.
" Although I'm sure we're on the same side, I'd like to be sure about that." Victoria said before glancing at Nebula. " The both of us are after the same thing are we not?"
" If by that, you mean trying to earn a place by the masters side then yes, although." She said as she glanced into the distance, a troubled look on her face. " I'm not sure if that's possible considering we were a tad bit slow when it came to arrangements." By that, she was refering to Yu An.
The woman had clearly left an impression on her, not only was she strong but she was definitely opposed to the notion of the master taking any more women at his side, that of course was something Nebula found hard to accept.
To allow such an opportunity pass her by like that left her feeling reluctant and bitter inside.
" If you're refering to that woman from earlier, you needn't worry about her."
" You mean?" Nebula said, clearly surprised.
" Yes, she's merely a jealous woman who can't grasp her own situation. When it comes to earning the masters attention, we needn't worry about her." Victoria said with a smirk before pausing, her smirk turning into a helpless smile.
" When it comes to earning the masters attention, there is but one woman we must definitely not offend, but with the both of us working together, I'm sure we can manage that much."
" So, what do you say? Partners?" Victoria extended a hand towards Nebula who paused for a moment before shaking it.
If the both of them were to work together to gain his favour, then their chances of succeeding would definitely increase by leaps and bounds rather than if they tried to do so on their own. That was something both women were aware of. They knew that besides Yu An, there could possibly be a few more others they'd need to pay extra attention towards, one of them being the bar manager, Vivian.
" And what if only one spot is still available..." The surroundings turned silent the moment Nebula voiced this certain question, one both women were already privy towards.
If the master really was adamant on having only one more concubine, then their partnership...
" Well, if that happens then I'm afraid it's to each their own... But, until then. Partners it is." Said Victoria.
