" Hmm from the looks of it " Karma looks at the files of much smaller names unlike the ones from yesterday " They are all asking for investments well most of them at least " he eats his brunch while reading the massive pile of folders " At least it's all organized "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTFDAc22t5
He was too lazy to look at the cameras since he didn't have to scrap for more information " Hmm Let's see some mining facility to get rid of as many ores affected by the residual vestiges both holy and dark that leaked out of heaven and hell as well as natural energies "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrJWqJwLr0
He looks at the gold goblet Mihr gave him " This goblet has a lot of merits maybe Mihr made it for me " He wonders if he should make a gift for Mihr " But then again I don't know how to cook something good or make anything that can be used for a gift "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCT5ayeogh
But not wanting to be a terrible protectee who doesn't thank their Guardian angel who has not done anything but had become his friend and did help him during their first proper meeting " I feel guilty " Karma searches for anything that would help him in making a gift and found .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTdlPoBbfm
" Quick knowledge acquisition ? " "Turn money into knowledge without going through the trouble" ' An interesting way to attract an investor but ' he searches up the small start-up's name "Evidence has shown that quick acquisition is flawed because it makes people lose their learning ability"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5JiENk71O
" Of course , there is a drawback like that wasn't there some game that said that quick acquisition harmed a person's learning ability ? " But he was interested in the start-up " And I was troubled with looking up any small start-ups who knew all of them would just come to me all at once "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlndr9ggdTf
He spreads out all the folders in his living room and takes the one on mining ores "It's hard to mine these ores because the dust particles from mining could inflict some side effects depending on the type when inhaled"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoit7I51Mhk
"Minerals around Hell have plenty of dark vestiges are a good example as they can cause someone to commit atrocities" ' Hmm how diverse ' "Merit minerals would cause someone to want to do good things but without a plan , they might lose all their money or self destruct because it isn't sustainable for them"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLWHEdQqvv
' So turns someone into a gullible and stupid do-gooder ' "The magical minerals will cause different kinds of side effects depending on the type" Karma sighed " And only angels , demons and magical creatures that are the cause of these affected ores can mine them due to their natural affinity and resistance"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlYgbLQQkJ
"But no one ever mines their respective ores because they are pointless for each of them as their respective affected ores are more like residual dust that gathers . But mining them or clearing them can make land more profitable"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUahsF97XS
' The one who thought of this is some demon I never heard of , but they seem interested in mining these ores ' Karma was also interested in doing it out of curiosity ' But then I won't be able to benefit from it if I don't know anything about it '
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqKFO8Q1Gy
He looks at the book that shows the complicated ritual of summoning guardian angels " If only I can summon him without going to the mountain " He was going to hike to the mountain as exercise but .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CAm8hDsee
" Not a good idea , if it took quite a while using the latest model to drive through the mountain and it probably doesn't look good for an angel to just appear at home " he puts on the ring of Solomon staring at it withlie detecting eyes from Truth .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfmKftjsan
" It says it's the real thing but with this long history it might lose efficiency so I will use the ring first I don't know how to use it but if it fails I'll just use the halo speaking of which I need to keep it hidden "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQneKspDzw
He made sure all preparations were ready "Minor summoning of a lesser demon Lebo" he held the summoning paper and went outside putting it on the ground as the grass around it withers " Maybe I should put this in their tab "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsu0XYaZDH
A hand stretches out of the portal after a while as it grabs onto the wilted grass " Ugh I should've put some instructions " ' I do know it was supposed to be on a wall I heard some other sounds through it was he getting a ladder ? '
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi915e3HgBE
" Oh uh ... " Lebo stares at Karma surprised he is actually in front of the inheritor of the Count legacy " I uh " " About the business in mining ores , you thought of it right ? "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3f6aNPNgO
" Ye-yes I already located the places in hell where these are gathering uhm there are a lot of ways to clean them but I can't get any manpower for it "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw73VLuGOwG
' So he probably needs merit again ' Lebo was too frightened looking around the backyard making sure his wings didn't touch anything ' Everything looks so expensive here ' Lebo shrunk himself as Karma wondered why he turned into an imp as he started flying .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntwNkeSR86
" I think this is a much more suitable form sir Karma " ' How respectful ' " About your lack of manpower I would like to look at how far you have managed to mine out " " Ahh that would mean going to hell "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREY3MbYTh7
" Is there a problem with that ? " " Well you would need at least someone who owns a region of hell for you to get in after all you haven't died yet " ' Hmm I see ' " That's too bad " He looks at Lebo and clenches the fist with the Solomon ring .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXfozmRQn7
" So can you tell me what happens when you mine them ? " " Oh we try to get rid of them either putting them in some further place uninhabited or someplace where there are natural demons " " Natural ? "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuZR3AMWhf
" There are demons in hell that are born from the residual sins they have tendencies to kill others and they wouldn't be similar to us but you can look at our relationship like human to animals "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmw8k9MQFq
" Then shouldn't you find a way to properly get rid of the affected ores or somehow extract it properly so that it doesn't turn into monsters ? "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyysVsj6Zb3
Lebo froze as he covered his mouth " But if you can figure that out I will invest in your idea " Lebo's head bowed low " Ye-yessir " ' Ugh Why did I slip up ' Karma made a smile and Lebo thought it was for him making him more encouraged at the opportunity given to him .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXFQnYdWlu
" I will make sure to extract them and make them useful " He flew back into the portal as it returned back to the summoning paper " Seems like the ring works " Karma played with it and thought ' Now I need to plan this properly '
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwX9qDdVpf
He smiled holding the ring with two fingers and staring at the seal ' Isir is busy decoding Godfather so they will take a while I can't exactly execute my plan without some level of trust and enough exposure to demons I used the ring on Lebo already but he doesn't know but it's progress to confirm it's authenticity '
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg9w19QMlh
He takes the folder on quick knowledge acquisition managed by another demon " Are there only demons here ... but then again demons have more self interest than angels who chose to serve god and have a strict morals to follow which I should expect considering why there are no angels here "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY6DuFtIjt
Now he wonders how hell sounds more like an evolved society compared to the current mortal world " Thought hell would be crueler but they have some real estate business already "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSaQF6G61u
' But I should take a look at this quick knowledge acquisition it seems like it could be a useful start-up to invest in if done right , but Isir is busy right now '
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxVQXfDVB4
Karma sighed as he decided to put the mining-affected ores start-up as potential tools ' But I will have to find out the uses of these vestiges the books Mihr gave me show that I can enchant something with merit but it is easy if there is only one person if it is two they need to be cooperative this may apply to the vestiges if the residuals are mixed up sins of several demons '
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlvCdjOj1U
" Let's see enchantment using manifested merits " "Merits that circulate the economy can also be used for enchantment but one should make all of them cooperate" Karma wasn't curious about the enchantment of multiple merit origins but focused primarily on single origin .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUjQJyB2kM
"To use merit as an enchantment and allow maximum efficiency one can use an evolved version of hiding their halo , the demons also can hide their features using this hiding ability and the same is applied to an angel albeit to an angel it is easier so demons learn to shapeshift"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEkQLpg5Ef
' So that's why demons can shapeshift and how other religions were viewed as demons because their traits simply don't match an angel ' "Merit you can let the merit sit together with the item you wish to enchant"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzesblbnB0z
Karma stopped at the line " Isn't this like pickling ? " "But it is also possible to make it more complex like creating a circuit" He shut the book figuring that he had little understanding" Okay let's look into the quick knowledge acquisition "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDCPbtFLlw
Upon grabbing it he checks the files "Akasha is an ongoing project that allows users to learn knowledge or obtain it quickly , it is still in it's early stage thus the amount of knowledge learned is kept at a bare minimum but can be improved with more time and money invested"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriB2mGVekp
' I can't invest with merit as of now but I do have other options ' He recalls having set up several maximum investments for any other potential that can match Isir and devised a plan .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35nbEnieto
' Since I own several facilities what if I grant them usage after all they are going to use the money to get better equipment why not just give the equipment straight to them instead '
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mrdAgumph
He figured he could do that ' I should give the researchers behind the akasha better equipment for better research ability but I also have to make sure this investment is successful by choosing the right one'
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgppaOpU0Sy
He looks at the list of equipment that would be needed "A supercomputer can be used to analyze the data better and compile them for the person to digest , we have already taken note that the user might lose their learning ability so the process of learning can be sent into a user to be slowly digested"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5rOLsumD6
' This could work ' Karma uses his phone to learn where he could send the supercomputer ' Probably in one of my abandoned places ' Abandoned places are completely deserted and lack human interventions Karma sometimes buys an abandoned area or trash place because no one wants it and it's cheap .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY57GJro93a
' Land is land and moreover , it's completely secluded I will lend this area to these demons so that they can operate from there I'm sure no one minds after all there is no law that restricts demons from coming to the mortal world from hell as long as they keep their disguises and prevent exposure of the higher society '
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU3eHReGVc
Karma wonders if he should ask for Isir to let him use the spider web ' No way Isir is the only one capable of using it unlike me I don't have any authority over it plus I tried to use it once and it's like having to play a game that has a lot of functions in the beginning , it's overwhelming '
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7jFJxCIWP
As Karma was about to call the demons he wondered ' Is this why some abandoned places have some rumors that they were haunted is it actually because some had similar thoughts like me ? ' Karma sighed and went to assure himself by confirming the thought through the network .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvzLeFeNNN
"Abandoned places are greatly recommended to work in as demons this way we can make use of the new technology developed but required to hide our IP address but also be able to use that place as a base of operations if no technology is used because it is cheaper to buy than the ones in hell"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKccGgfQ5n
Karma couldn't believe that the several intances , rumors and haunting thumbnail videos were the doing of demons looking for a cheap place ' Don't tell me they also tried to live there because it was cheaper '
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkeudsPiI5
While his concerns were cleared other concerns like how some underground business could be there to sabotage ' Goddammit I guess I still need Isir then ' he sighed and looks up any abandoned places that he had bought because he had the words "Land is land" in his head when buying them .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGwWQIimSQ
' There is one suitable but as for any people that could be operating a meth lab , making counterfeit money ' Karma sighed " I need someone to clean them up " he looks at his list of bodyguards and opens the map .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpOGEsO1xj
" Right I do have that don't I " he grabs his phone and looks for the closes person to the abandoned area " Hello , James " " Yes boss " he hears some metal pierce through wood " Training as always "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu5qisGT5q
" Gotta be ready in case some zombie apocalypse happens " " ah yes the impossible scenario would probably happen soon , but I have a job for you " " What kind ? " " No killing if needed I want you to check around the abandoned building "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEAjJSsxBo
" What for ? " " See if there is anyone around if it's just kids just shoo them away and I'll put a better fence they can't climb on but if it is some illegal business give them a warning but don't kill anyone just give them a scare unless they are some killers of course "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX8uYPWNyb
" Got it boss I'll make sure to do that " " Thank you I'll have some money deposited to your account as soon as you finish it " Karma closes the phone and sets up a deposit .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlLLasbHZZ
' This is quite a lot to figure out isn't it ' he sighed and decided to do some exercise . With Isir busy decoding the translations used to protect Godfather's communication , James checks the abandoned building for any people so that Karma can start acquiring more knowledge .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmgIvmyN8H
This was a relaxing time for Karma to take his normal exercise routine listening to the leaves around his house rustle as his mind is no longer bothered by anything or any problems .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhccPjuph9
Unfortunately , one person isn't happy at all " What do you mean you can't gather any other information from him I asked you to spy on him !!! " Cain was annoyed at how loud Godfather was through the phone .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD80Wb51Y5
" Sir I was told to only act as his bodyguard with matters involving the higher society but anything outside that I was told to stay out of it "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1DeWMVaw7
" If that is the case then I'll have to make it so he will need a bodyguard at all times I'll send a demon you pretend you were nearby . "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlZ18B5a0I
The call ended as Cain quickly texted Karma about it he quickly grabbed his scythe and started going back to Karma's residence ' I didn't go too far but I might as well hide myself . ' he dashes through the street invisible hoping he makes it in time .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojMrWDCCLN
The reason for his fear is because of how much trouble Karma's death would bring to the whole world and those who were said to have been involved with him . Karma's residence was inside a private residential area allowing only those who allowed into the residence to enter .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtH8XU1WSU
And those who personally sent the contracts to Karma are also residence of the residential area , While on the surface they are normal neighbors and in the higher society they are figures who manage several important parts and businesses .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEbigffPza
' They really spent a hefty amount of money to get there and yet only sent a subordinate to watch over the residence ' Cain complained as he rushed to the private residential " I'm here to visit Karma "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lWlmvms2K
He quickly runs after giving the guard enough time to process what he said leaving the guard confused as Cain reaches Karma's residence .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaTxrv4PHA
Cain hits the doorbell but doesn't hear a thing " Huh are you kidding me come on I'm supposed to be there " " KYAAAHHHH " Cain was surprised as Karma opens the door " Oh you're here I found some succubus or demon while exercising "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97lobLFfU5
After some explaining of what Godfather said and his knowledge of the residents of this area and their connection to the higher society's management " I can't believe I have been living with them and I thought it was good to live somewhere more public to maintain a good image "love thy neighbor" my *** "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ6ok6zUyG
Karma sighs and looks at the folders " Oh looks like this was from some unrelated company " Karma goes to his room leaving Cain with Lilith " Uhm hey uh " " Stepmother " " Right stepmother "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xsKE4M3qK
" Why were you here to kill him ? " " Oh I just wanted to have someone else maybe someone younger than Lucifer and Asmodeus " " Oh Uh I don't know much but I don't think I should ask "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBViFGwumbi
" Are you supposed to be his bodyguard ? " Lilith asked watching Cain put aside his scythe " Yeah ? " " I don't think he needs one if he has that ring on him " " What ring " " You know what ring I am talking about . Should I give you hints ? "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJEC8yZDYu
Cain looks at her being tied by some chains similar to what he was tied to just this morning " Yes " " You know the synonym of going alone " " Single " " The first letter was correct but the third is supposed to be the last letter "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YLmlqLXYv
" Solomon's ring ? " " Correct I guess you were the smarter child for leaving the nest much earlier " " How do you know I killed Abel ? " " You think I didn't read the bible ? " " I thought you wouldn't read it "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpieWVkvmgK
Lilith sighed " Of course I did do you know how harsh it is to live in the mortal world I had to resort to several dealings and I had to hide what I am the more this world moved forward " " Were you the assassin that godfather called "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQWZGQE73e
" I wouldn't call myself an assassin I just came here because I thought it would be great to pretend to have a night with him someone rich and influential you know to get back at Lucifer and Asmodeus "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0JG4QW8wo
" Wait then who is the assassin ? " Lilith ignores him and continues talking" Godfather was a good guy giving me all sorts of money just so that he could get more influence in the higher world like how to summon Lucifer "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHb7nEbPWI
Karma walks down the stairs with some luggage " I'm moving " He looks at Lilith and Cain and sighs " Hello ... I want a private jet ready when I go to the airport ... Yes keep it away from the media I want to move as secretly as possible as well as fast and comfortably "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2Y1gCGujL
He looks at Cain and Lilith " We will be heading out Lilith you are coming with me " Karma throws other important things like the count founder's collection into the car , cancels all of his meal subscriptions and finally gets in the care starting it immediately as they drove out .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cyiv8YWOh
" Hey " Lilith said with a seductive tone " Aren't you going to get rid of " With a snap the chains " " Oh " " Now shut up " Karma texted Isir about his plans to change location .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclm5p3rz5O
"Isir it seems my residential area is infested with the citizens of higher society I'm planning to change and I'll be in the middle of a plane likely so tell Gale about it"
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJLMcKWhpK
"Truth I know I left Ember but as long as I ignite a fire there I can bring them with me they'll just have to wait" Karma puts his phone away as he took the wheels turning the auto drive off pissed about his supposed private residence to be infested with different kinds of neighbors .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vy5Q7D3Za
' Boot lickers would've been better ' he complained in his head about his seemingly innocent neighbors .

Isir smiles completing the text for decoding Godfather's communication ' I figured out the coding already this method is crude but very effective if it didn't have an AI to make it less conspicious , sending a text would cause it to be changed into a completely different text but when it reaches the receiver it would be translated back to the original text like normal messaging '
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyaaPFXPQJ
There was a monitor that seemed connected to Cain's phone ' It's a good thing I have Cain's phone with me it would be easier now I have a list of devices to send the Arachne to investigate with the new decoding program I'll also have the AI responsible for dressing up the text as the center for a new Spider web '
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1xxj1YgxQ
Isir smiled glad to see the hard work paid off ' Hmm Boss had a call with James ' Playing it at an accelerated speed they figured what it was ' Must be related to his contracts with higher society '
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaARRnvvMzM
Isir looks at the monitor of Karma's chat and reads it " The hell , Ugh I really should've investigated them but then again they use a higher society network I can probably figure it out if boss lets me connect ... he said he is going to be in a plane " ' Ugh '
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHlaYHXfmy
" No way am I going to risk crash landing boss but then again he did say he got a halo maybe he can fly " Isir nodded and decided to use the code to prevent the satellite from recording any pictures of Karma should he be caught .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRupe5GYzp
" Gale I have to inform you that Karma is going to move somewhere else " Arachne said upon receiving the order from Isir " What really why ? "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAPBAcfxrP
" He said that his current residence isn't suitable at all hence he wants to avoid staying there " ' Maybe I should help him by checking I'm sure no one wants to listen to stories when they are cooking '

Gale flies quickly to go to his residence to see Ember left behind " Oh Hi Ember so I heard Karma is going out " Gale feels Ember's fire heating the air and says " Do you want me to keep you company Karma said I shouldn't be selfish and all "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyKyiMT9VD
Being able to hear meant they also knew several languages " Oh okay , So last night I was telling about how you were born everyone became curious and we talked a little about the promise keeper of disease and how you thought the first human to acknowledge you as someone like you "
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnJ2wgbrk8
James on the other hand cleared everything up as he looked at his deposit glad to see it and looked at the text "I'm heading to a villa around your location before then please tell Sebastian about my order to fence the area around it" ' So many demands but ' James accepted the extra pocket change he is getting for completing the task as he calls Sebastian .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMow0GfsF2D
" Cain , what did godfather text you about ? " " He sent an assassin maybe it was Lilith so that I have to be by your side " " Sure I will pretend I got attacked by Lilith " " I wouldn't call it attacking more like a proactive invite " " Cooperate " Karma said clenching the fist wearing Solomon's ring .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEXAzQDHDp
" Fine not like I can do anything with it either way although I wonder what kind of things you will do to me " Lilith said " Someone would be commiting a crime " Karma said as he silenced Lilith again ' You're no fun '
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWpXdcxc2S
" Cain tell godfather that you succeeded and that I decided to have you around after you told me about my residential area being infested with those dang pest " " Okay " ' Maybe you should replace Lucifer as the demon prince of pride and become the demon prince of arrogance ' Lilith joked .
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0O2eWYTee
' To think I was being stalked for a long time I don't like the idea of it at all , So this is what Isir feels maybe I should ask if they can cover all my traces too ' while Lilith questions why his grimoires all lacked any vestiges .
