Villain Simulator-Chapter 83: Vaiself Conglomerate

Like an engine failure for a pilot, the thing I wanted the least, happened, and this time even I couldn’t help but subconsciously exclaim in surprise.

"What?!!!"

My eyes narrowed, and the right corner of my lip tilted upward slightly in a frown, revealing my shock.

Despite the shock, though, I maintained my composure, refraining from jumping or shouting.

My voice remained low, and my exclamation sounded more like a normal response to Rachael, who replied without detecting anything unusual.

"Yes, it’s awakening, right?"

"Correct."

I nodded, fully aware that denying it wouldn’t change the outcome.

Her situation perfectly mirrored what had been described in the novel before her awakening, which raised my concerns.

"Are you alright? Was the dream frightening?"

"Umm... I don’t remember exactly, but it was like all darkness, and I felt trapped.... That’s it, nothing more."

"I see. No need to worry, then. It’s a natural process; it happened with me too. Just relax and don’t overstress yourself."

"Umm humm..."

Looking at her nodding shyly and concentrating back on her food, I smiled a little in relief.

Considering how calm Rachael was despite having a nightmare, it seems like her current one wasn’t as scary as what was described in the novel.

However, although it was understandable since her situation was better than in the novel, it also raised doubts.

’According to the novel’s timeline, she shouldn’t have started experiencing these awakening symptoms for about another week.’

So, what had caused her awakening to advance by a week?

Was it the world pushing the plot, or perhaps her destiny, which seemed intent on preventing Rachael’s happiness?

Once again, a multitude of questions lingered with no answers in sight.

Moreover, there was another issue tied to her awakening, one that required careful consideration.

’If I am not mistaken, once Rachael awakens, the protagonist will sense it with his almost precognition-like senses, and he will rush straight toward her.’

Which meant that the protagonist would also appear sooner than I had anticipated.

’Calculating the time, it seems I only have about a week left... I have to accelerate my plans. I can’t afford to wait any longer.’

A fierce determination flashed in my eyes, and I turned to Charlotte.

"Charlotte."

"Huh?"

"Inform my father that I will meet him today."

* * * * *

—A few hours later.

Having completed my daily training and leaving Daisy to Sharon and Rachael, I left with Charlotte.

...

"Master, we have arrived."

Charlotte’s voice brought me back to reality as we arrived at our destination on Madison Avenue—a place famous for its luxury and sky-high prices.

Looking out of the window, a colossal skyscraper that seemed to kiss the very clouds appeared in my vision.

An expansive garden surrounding the enormous building contained a variety of statues and a wide range of amenities, which would leave anyone in awe.

The overall grandeur of the place was mind-boggling, and even a rough estimate of its price would be in the realm of billions of dollars.

Nevertheless, there were no expressions of awe on my face—the Nobility in me had only a few luxuries in the world that could truly impress it.

’So this is it, ah! It’s bigger when looked directly.’

It was none other than the headquarters of the colossal Vaiself Group of Industries, to which I was the heir.

From the windows of my car, I could see the onlookers curiously looking at my entourage and nodding their heads while chatting with each other.

As if they had been pre-informed or had recognized my arrival.

Screech-!

Suddenly, my car flanked the vigilant vehicles of my bodyguards and came to a halt in front of the building’s imposing gate as a guard rushed forward.

Click!

He didn’t waste a moment and promptly opened the car door after getting my confirmation nod from the window.

"Welcome, Young Master."

"Hmmm."

To be honest, these actions were merely a formality and entirely unnecessary.

But, in the world of power and reputation, one had to always assert their position unequivocally.

Not to mention, with my traits, it was impossible for me to leave any room for anyone to look down upon me.

"Come Charlotte."

Ordering my Shadow, I stepped out of the car with an air of pride and nobility, carrying myself confidently.

My head held high, my back straight, my chest out, and my gaze as if looking down at the world.

Walking in with Charlotte by my side, I couldn’t help but notice the contrasting reactions from the employees whispering to each other.

"Have you seen him? Adrian looks even more dashing than the last time he was here."

"*(Nodding)* Oh, absolutely. Did you hear the rumors about him topping the Magic Tower entrance tests?

"He’s not just good-looking; he’s incredibly talented."

The female employees appeared captivated, their eyes transforming into heart shapes as they gazed upon my icy composure and strikingly handsome visage.

"*(sighs dreamily)* It’s like he’s transformed into this completely different person. So confident and charismatic."

"*(whispering with a grin)* I’ve heard he’s quite the charmer too. I wouldn’t mind working closely with him, if you know what I mean... hehe."

My aesthetically pleasing physique surpassed even the most renowned celebrities, and I could sense the admiration emanating from the women around me.

However, on the other side, the male employees were the complete opposite.

They had expressions as if a blend of anger, envy, and resentment.

"*(gritting his teeth)* Look at him, strutting in here like he owns the place, he’s not even the head yet."

"*(nods begrudgingly)* Yeah, but his father sure is, but ugh! He’s got that smug look on his face, like he’s better than all of us."

"*(rolling his eyes)* And did you hear he aced those entrance tests at the Magic Tower? It’s not fair."

"*(sighs in frustration)* We can’t do anything about it. He’s the boss’s son, and soon he’ll be our boss too."

Nonetheless, they were fully aware of the vast differences in our statuses, and they could only forcibly conceal their true emotions behind strained smiles and welcoming gestures.

Observing this, though not surprised, I couldn’t help but feel a pang in my heart.

’Sigh! How I used to be one of them too.’

It again made me realize all the more how unfair and cruel this world was.

But it also fueled my determination to climb to the pinnacle and ensure I never experienced those days again.

’I will do whatever it takes.’

My fists clenched involuntarily, the pride in my heart ignited, and my strides became even longer, more confident, and more imposing.

However, as I entered the opulent interior and approached the open elevator, unexpectedly or expectedly, someone suddenly stepped in front of me, blocking my path.

"Oh, ho! Isn’t this our beloved Prince Adrian, who has suddenly found himself in the spotlight?"

It was a melodious, sweet, yet mature female voice from a tall girl with ultramarine hair.

She stood before me, dressed in a suit, and I immediately recognized her from my memory.

’Mia Vaiself.’

She was none other than my bitch of a big sister—only a few years older than me, wearing a black suit, a white shirt, and a tie of the same color as her hair.

She had the appearance of an OL beauty, with full breasts that were obvious just by looking at them but were also not so large as to appear unnatural.

They were indeed the perfect size.

However, despite her flawless snow-white skin and immaculate features, I was well aware that, for me, her heart was darker than coal.

Even her previous words, though seemingly sweet, were loaded with hidden sarcasm and mockery.

Yet, they weren’t intended to merely belittle me and mock me.

Instead, they were designed to provoke a reaction from me, allowing her to undermine my burgeoning fame.

Mia was an intelligent girl, and her strategy was to publicly humiliate me and demonstrate to everyone that their newly emerging star was nothing more than that.

Unfortunately for her, I was no longer the old Adrian.

I understood that responding to her here would only be counterproductive to my plans, so simply ignored her presence and entered the elevator with Charlotte.

"..."

My action of not even acknowledging her existence was completely unexpected to Mia, and she was instantly taken aback.

"!!!"

Nevertheless, she too was a player who had seen her fair share of experiences in the industry, and she was quick to come back to her senses.

Unfortunately for her, before she could turn around to salvage the situation or launch a verbal counterattack, I had already pressed the button for the top floor, and the elevator doors closed on Mia’s face.

"Pfft~! Hahahaha...!"

Instantly, Charlotte, standing beside me, burst into laughter and praised me with a thumbs-up while wiping away tears of amusement.

"Good job, Master."

In response to her praise, I simply smiled and rubbed her head, feeling at ease.

Ding!

Soon, we arrived on the top floor, which consisted of a single corridor leading to my father’s office at the end.

Outside his closed office doors stood a few male and female guards, undoubtedly high-ranking players.

"Wait here."

There I dropped Charlotte as the guards opened the doors, having already received orders from the inside.

However, contrary to what one might expect, I wasn’t here for chit-chat, nor was I in any mood for playing family.

Every second was precious to me.

Thus, I entered the office with unwavering confidence as the doors closed behind me, leaving only two people in the spacious hall-like office.

I locked eyes with my father and began to speak, enunciating each word deliberately.

"There’s going to be about a 50 Chaos Dungeon breakouts all at the same time in New York city, exactly 7 days later, and I want our family to fuel the Chaos."
