" 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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmnTywduHS
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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFI8BZLD9F
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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp7nuztGRs
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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ17WpqnBJ
" 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"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRgG8uMcT6
" 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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLkoE4td0Z
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"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKXA5Yslbr
"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"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKzoejqqWC
' 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"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9nyC6kCY8
"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"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrn9L2GCM9
' 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 '
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aypBvHRxD
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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxRhFzUr4n
" 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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEDU1RNzus
" 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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLqZy0oycN
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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4xbeqI8zq
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 ? '
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTeSwFc8MX
" 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 ? "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPbHmqYV6m
" 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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcRgswQkAB
' 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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgAAsk8Ezb
" 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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf6z8LcbyC
" 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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUeT99o8wI
" 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 ? "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aGfDMTBUB
" 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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY4t3KyGxo
" 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 ? "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11t2cDUAow
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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDwntdRWtk
" 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 '
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsyMB6w4Bc
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 '
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yklOPev1f
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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HrWDGEmuF
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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplr1pC1ebP
' 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 '
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZbNIOuhJz
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 '
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WlDbxBi56
" 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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH5EQPw1dp
"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"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x18mbmSkF
' 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"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHgWERhWtF
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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX00lWODOR
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"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8tOftLgVB
' 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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccBh0PXCEE
' 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 '
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkCPmA7Jfw
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'
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgSP6HhCoe
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"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4OS7FOm1L
' 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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ848325K6Ny
' 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 '
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXsBt9QOOI
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 '
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdEXn7M0PJ
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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokFVpWcAPJ
"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"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69jiYoWc7i
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 '
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUwKHUQT2w
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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZnK1rkZqn
' 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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyloTPf4wkJ
" 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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ571N9iPn4F
" 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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk0gRqXGaB
" 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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4cNwxf8iG
" 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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwtAUJ7LMB
' 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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9BDYS4VTN
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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXKVzPTkWq
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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4mUDk7DBV
" 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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEmGcMFwm9
" 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 . "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmvNAceLCY
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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvguTKpIBZA
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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLtZWJaC7O
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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLNuW6jycT
' 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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mX4ETwFqk
He quickly runs after giving the guard enough time to process what he said leaving the guard confused as Cain reaches Karma's residence .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEw1bNuH5Y
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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNml5gkF1zq
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 *** "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupVbbaGk91
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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7mXBOMPnO
" 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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK1BkJkyjO
" 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 ? "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau9GX6sr24
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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUrHoazDQJ
" 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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq23p14D4f
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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIezSJHR256
" 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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmDXAaIviT
" 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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Has1Ar24B
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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbhTkHZLkX
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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo9FjoN1YQ
" 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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRabH8nVaIa
"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"
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9FR9hEnDb
"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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsqf2eYn1Q
' 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 '
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeujhv9AJXG
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 '
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnOgUDUFUj
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 '
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMBOTmChT7
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 '
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzgvYvesli
" 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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEFUjLVoXR
" 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 ? "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKl5xkj818
" 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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5hwuGalLD
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 "
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpNPGTMvmR
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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWALCJFXYaH
" 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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfubnziTiRi
" 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 '
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepUMaR4dP6
" 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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKM0wbpRSZ
' 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 .
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ8HQbda2k
