Meeting #4

Ki had taken everyone opinions and reports into consideration one after another and she then went into deep thought.

After a period of silence she had then spoke. "How about we do this.. to control those causing problems we can use the law and cities power to our advantage but if they use other tactics that could be harmful to the people then we should take another route. That one would be using the Reapers and Nox to act personally but in secret to create a conflict among the gangs that will get out of control and will result in all sides shedding blood or being kicked out of the city. Instead of using the usual calling card of the Reapers, you must not expose your identity and instead arrange the scene carefully to point the evidence towards a rival group that has been causing problems too. With a little accidental revealing of the potential culprits from some loose lipped subordinates, it will create doubt among the gangs and other troublesome groups."

She then continued. "Those spies that may have been planted within or those under your control can be used to stir up the conflict. I want them to start exposing their ugly nature and crimes so they can be rightfully dealt with when the time comes or they will be removed from the city and will have an accident or will be robbed on the road. I want a series of different tactics to be used from framed kills, accidental kills by a thief, poisoning, betrayal from within or a staged accident so that a pattern cannot be recognised. Be creative!"

They all nodded upon hearing her words.

Ki continued. "I want the project for the hunting area to be converted into an open space with seating around as soon as possible to allow viewers to watch the events below whether it be horse racing, sect or personal arena battles, fighting wild animals or other types of entertainment. This will be helpful later to gain support from the sects and host the competitions among the local sects disciples. It will also prove useful for attracting the noble and rich males who like to watch violent sports and it will also encourage others to raise their own prized horse or animal to participate in an arranged event."

She then took a breathe and then finished up. "There will be some changes within the walls and in the cities as we adjust to the food shortages around the area and the incoming merchants that wish to take advantage of the situation. We need to try to stay in control and get as much farm land as we can so that we can spend some of the money gained and have more land to grow a stable source of food so many places can be self reliant again. The prisoners can soon begin their work once again as the mines are checked for their safety and we should continue to look into our own businesses and organisations for traitors or those with too much greed that they will cause harm to us in some way. Continue practicing and do not slack during this time. Report anything strange or any suspicious deaths that may have any strange signs related to any kind of evil type of martial arts."

Ki had quickly dismissed them and they had returned to their usual lives and daily tasks but Ki had started being nagged frequently by her mother who was upset that her daughter was wasting her beauty with the way that she had her hair.

Although she had a rebellious and evil vibe about her with her current style and she looked very beautiful, Elizabeth knew that her daughter could shine much brighter once she debuts.

She did not mind her daughter taking up the sword and adopting such a lifestyle but as a mother, she could see that her daughter had been too busy and rarely had time for herself along with a long line of things that made her different from normal girls of a rich or noble family.

The main issue was that once Ki has her coming of age ceremony, all eyes would be on her so Elizabeth hoped that her daughter could start paying more attention to her own health and beauty.

Soon many slow expansions would take place within the different organisations but there would also be some unexpected and welcomed surprises.

Each of those that had attended the meeting would then go on to grow further in individual and group power as they used what they had gained all through the flood incident and the attacks on the hidden Blood Sect bases.

While the surrounding powers were trying to investigate the events in the northern parts of the Central Lands, others were busy plotting their next scheme or were trying to put what they had to use so they would not be in a weak state to the eyes of outsiders.

New new additions to the Bombyx lands were slowly getting used to their new roles and were happy that they were alive after suffering betrayals and a near death experience.

The family was severely lacking in major powerhouses of the Unrestrained Realm to call upon in times of need but Ki had been able to capture many due to taking advantage of the knowledge of the future that she knew.
