“That’s quite the story and all. It’ll soon be two hours, let’s head towards the meeting area.” Victor said as he stood up from his seat. Truth be told, he didn’t really care about the thing’s back story, he just thought he would get some vital information in the process, but in the end he got nothing. It even made him late for his meeting.

‘Doesn’t matter though, a leader should always be the one to enter last in a meeting.’ Victor said in his mind. The leader is the most important person, and shouldn’t be the one to wait for others, others should be the ones to wait for the leader.

While they walked to the meeting room, Victor asked Maggie to tell him the top five people in the organization who would be attending the meeting who he should take note of. There were supposed to be eleven people in the meeting, so picking the best five wasn’t bad. Maggie in turn began calling the names of each person she deemed worthy to be in the top five, and since Victor didn’t specify that strength was the only factor, Maggie had room for one person, who Victor also wanted to see.

Some minutes later, and they got to the room where the meeting was to be held, and inside as Victor stepped through the door, he immediately noticed 11 pairs of eyes immediately turn to his direction, but he could only see 10 people seated. ‘Guess the invisible guy has decided to prank me.’ Victor concluded in his head.

He walked towards the head seat without saying a single word or giving his attention to those in the room. Maggie on the other hand took the seat at the other end facing Victor’s. He could only imagine what was going on in the heads of everyone present, as he was sure that they knew of the recent happenings. This, definitely was also the reason why they all were in attendance.

The room was spacious, and had room for up to 100 people to stand all around. The major colour inside was purple, and there was also white thrown in to balance. The table and chairs were black, with some other colours that matched the design and feel of the room, and everything around was just well placed and done. There were no poppy colours, but the entire place just felt right. 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

Victor looked around the table to see all their faces, and immediately he noticed the two he had his interest on. ‘So that’s the one with the cardboard looking face, and there’s my scapegoat.’ Victor noted in his mind.

“You can stop the circus act now. I know you are there.” Victor said, as he looked towards the direction of the one who was invisible. The invisible guy, after turning visible now turned towards Maggie in slight annoyance, but she didn’t pay him any attention and just kept looking forward.

“Now, why don’t we start by introducing ourselves.”

-Time Skip; Middle of the meeting- (A/N: I don’t know what people talk about in meetings like these, so yeah. Plus, this is not even Victor’s goal here)

“Even though I am the boss now, I will delegate the position of leader to someone else. Of course, I will remain the overall power, but someone will have to run things while I’m not around or busy.” Victor said.

He would have simply left this to Maggie since she was the vice and all, but if there was one thing he noticed, it was that the creature was more focused on it’s research and laboratory, or anything to better what she was doing. Running the entire organization wouldn’t suit her because of this, so Victor needed another person there, and he already had one person in mind.

“For that role, you, stern face, what’s your name again? You didn’t get to introduce yourself because of the dead body.” Victor said, as he turned his attention towards the bulky looking man that was almost seven feet tall with a traditional stern face.

His face only got worse as Victor turned to him, because he couldn’t help but squeeze it even more than it already was naturally. It was quite clear that he wasn’t very comfortable with where everything was heading, even though he did quite the job of hiding it, especially after Victor had just made a scene.

Earlier during the meeting when Victor started things off, it would seem like one person wasn’t smart enough to shut up and listen to the person that killed the previous leader who was by far leagues ahead of all of them, and decided to cut Victor off in the middle of his speech.

This idiot, was none other than the one known as The Undying. He as the one Victor had set as his scapegoat, and not disappointing at all, he played his part fantastically well.

Of course, Victor did not care for the name of a soon to be dead man, but he had other plans for him. Because of future plans, Victor retained the man’s name, it was Deacon. Apparently, he used to go by a different name before, but after he got his powers, he started going by the name Deacon.

After the meeting had gone on for a while, Deacon seemed to not be having it, so he raised the question everyone was too scared to ask. Why the hell was some stranger standing before them and acting all high and mighty. Victor knew what he was thinking. Since he basically couldn’t die, even though a nuke was dropped on him, Deacon had nothing to fear, not even from the most powerful of men or monster.

Everyone in the room knew this, and they knew that Victor knew, so they wanted to see how he would handle the situation. Deacon wasn’t the type to back down easily, so this was sure to escalate, and if the so called new leader couldn’t even beat Deacon, then he would only die in the end.

Of course, the moment Victor ordered for him to return to his seat, he got even more upset and started walking towards Victor, but when he got to the seat where the man with the stern face sat, which was just three seats away from Victor’s, he suddenly collapsed and never stood nor spoke a word again.

‘Death Curse is very helpful. Even beings like this can be killed. As long as there’s a soul, it’s possible.’ Victor said in his mind like a sort of confirmation in his theory.

Since then, everybody in the room became even more upright in their seating and answers. The person before them was simply a psycho to them, it was better not to get in his bad side.

..

Now, with Deacon lying dead behind his chair, the man with a stern face couldn’t do much than to cooperate. If the undying could now die, what was to say about him who was living?

“My name is Markel Zaluich-” He said, before going on to give some other info.

“Great, you will be the one filling in this post for the time being.” Victor said as he began standing up from his seat.

“That’s all, dismissed.” He said, but still no one dared stand and leave before him it seemed. Victor didn’t care much, so he just walked towards Markel’s seat and spoke to Deacon.

“Arise.” He said, as he neared there. Like a true undying, Deacon stood from the ground, and when he was completely awake, he immediately went down on one knee before Victor got him to leave and continue his normal duties. The other were shocked at this, and Victor just left them inside the room and left. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com
