Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 88 - Let\'s begin

What was the point of going out into the hallway, if their whole conversation was going to be heard anyway. Everyone in the room heard the two\'s conversation, since Hilda\'s voice was pretty loud, and the walls weren\'t particularly thick. It was like the whole event was a show.

Uncaring about the looks he was getting Ren smiled at his companions.

"Now that everyone is caught up, let\'s get to the real talk." Everyone was silent at this point as they focused all their attention on Ren, waiting for him to speak. Seeing as everyone\'s eyes were on him, Ren spoke.

"Now that you guys have fully transitioned into information sellers, it\'s time for the next step." The next step? Everyone was now even more interested to hear what Ren will say. Especially the two former leaders, Iselv and Kithra. The two of them have been wondering, why Ren made them stop selling drugs and told them to buy and sell information instead.

Though truthfully the information business was somehow nearly on par with their drug selling business. What it lacks in the quantity of buyers, it keeps up with the quality of buyers. Usually the ones who buy their information were nobles, and the ones who sell the information were people who don\'t understand how good the information they had was, thus selling it to them cheaply.

They also try to gather rumors, and learned how to use this rumors to their advantage. This was a trick Ren himself taught them, who in turn learned from his son from his past life. He didn\'t think it relevant back then, since with his overwhelming strength he didn\'t really care about the opinions of others, which proved to be a fatal mistake in the end.

"Iselv, Kithra how many subordinates of yours could be considered mages?"

"I don\'t have anyone like that. If they had the capability to be mages, they wouldn\'t be in the slums." Iselv answered as he was almost about to spit, but stopped himself.

"Hmm, I have two girls who can be considered beginner level mages, and one guy who could be considered an intermediate level mage." Kithra tapped her finger on her cheeks as she answered, while blinking a few times in cutesy manner. This was her trying her best to make Ren notice her. To bad for her, Ren had already evaluated her potential and in the end she wasn\'t up to the standard he wanted in his women.

"I see, Iselv call ten of your best men, and bring them here. Kithra call the three mages you have, and eight more subordinates that are good in combat, bring them here as well. Huh? Didn\'t you hear me, go now."

The moment the two heard Ren say go now, Iselv and Kithra didn\'t say anything anymore and left the room. As the two were leaving, Valdel approached Ren.

"What is it your planning Ren?"

"You\'ll see... Don\'t be too hasty Val, I\'ll explain what I\'m planning when those two return."

...

After a few minutes, Iselv and Kithra returned alongside twenty others. Among the twenty they brought back, three of them looked out of place from the group of burly looking men. Two of the three, were pretty, sexy women wearing a very thin layer of fabric. The last of the three, was a handsome young man that looked like some rich merchant\'s son.

The young man upon entering the room, looked at Valdel then at Ren glaring at both of them.

"These guys are the best in my crew." Iselv gestured at the men behind him.

"These are mine. The two girls over here, are the beginner mages I\'ve told you about, and this man here is the Intermediate rank mage." When Kithra reported to Ren, the young man who was supposedly an Intermediate rank mage looked at Ren with a burning gaze.

"Is that the guy Kithra? Is this the guy you\'re talking about, the one who has your heart?" The irritation and anger could be heard in the young man\'s speech as he asked Kithra.

"Yeah he is." Kithra who looked at Ren with a flirty gaze, expecting something from him, was promptly ignored by Ren. The young man on the other hand, seeing her do this was enraged.

"What the hell! He doesn\'t look like anything much, and you\'re telling me he has your heart?!" The young man who was glaring at Ren, was now sending killing intent his way, and was even about to use a spell. Yet before he could do anything else, he suddenly had his face smacked onto the floor.

He couldn\'t move his body, he looked at Ren\'s direction and saw that he hasn\'t move from his spot. Though Ren wasn\'t touching him, he knew that this overwhelming pressure that was pressing on him, came from Ren.

Everyone present except for the twenty who came later, knew of Ren\'s skill so they weren\'t surprised to see him do this. The others on the other hand, felt fear as they witnessed this scene. All of them kept quiet waiting for Ren to do something.

Ren then slowly walked towards the young man, and knelt on one knee in front of him.

"I don\'t care what kind of drama, is going on between you and Kithra, but the moment you direct killing intent my way for a second time, will be your last. The only reason you get this, oh so, miraculous second chance, is simply because you are a valuable commodity. Yet even with that a second time will not be tolerated." Once he was done explaining this to the young man, he looked at the others.

"So how about you people, do you have any complaints about me?"

Ren who was casually stepping on the young man\'s face looked at the other nineteen people as he said this. The nineteen who heard Ren\'s question immediately shook their heads.

"Good... Okay then, let me tell you what\'s about to happen to you people. First I want you all to register as adventurers that includes you Iselv and Kithra. After that I will personally train you all to become suitable people, to be called my subordinates. I will train you all, until you have the basic strength required to be called my subordinates."
