195 – A Great Opportunity

Mid-day. The succubus stood in silence by the long tables filled with pastries and cups of tea.

Phisovia, standing before her underlings, spread her arms. "We will celebrate this historic day."

She wanted to increase her authority, and I suggested this rather than making threats. Of course, she wondered, what's the point of having a party after showing something horrifying like last night?

The yakuza inspired me to do this. Instead of giving threats, some groups give gifts. For example, a new bag for the target's child, branded clothes for the mother, whatever object the father likes, etc.

The targets will wonder, what really happened? What do the yakuza want? Is this gift for the wife and child a sign that they are also in danger?

Confusion is one of the most powerful fear triggers.
