Vampire's Slice Of Life-Chapter 988 Lith’s Mistake

The world was at peace.

This statement did not apply anymore to Lith's world as every single continent was involved in some or the other drama.

From the news Lith was watching, after Ruben's attack on the Werewolf King's castle, the news of the Angels was heard.

There were rumors that the Angels seemed to be preparing for a holy war. There was no solid proof, so this news was just glanced over.

"There's nothing from the Elven Continent." Lith looked at his tablet screen and thought out loud. "It seems I need to get an update from Ilyas himself."

Lith took out his phone and texted the said man. There was an instant response from his end.

The message stated that Ilyas was successful in creating two camps within the Beastkins, one belonging to him and the other belonging to Sakaguchi.

He sold them the idea of becoming a main race by showing his Supreme Rank prowess.

Then, he also turned the Goblins, Orcs, and Trolls as his allies, weakening Sakaguchi's faction even further.

He then went after the Elves.

Many Elves were secretly killed, and the administration has not yet realized the problem.

"Weird," commented Lith.

Ilyas then stated that it was him who was working behind the scenes to stop the Elven administration from meddling. He was slowly cutting down the Elves from inside-out.

"Oh. That's interesting now."

Then, it was stated that everything was going smoothly so far, but lately, there have been some problems.

A lot less Elves were moving out of the World Tree for adventures.

The Goblins were suddenly suffering through a plague and the Beastkins of Sakaguchi's side were secretly meeting a few Elves.

Lith raised an eyebrow at this. "It seems I was wrong. Aunt definitely took action."

Satisfied with the outcome, Lith finally went to focus on the Humans.

He was a former Human, but he did not like the way the Humans of this world conducted things. Their ways were really hypocritical, and they did evil things with a virtuous fa?ade.

The enmity with the Human Ancestor wouldn't subdue until his death. He wanted that guy dead, who has been a source of major problems for Arya, and possessed the bloodline of Keith's tormentor.

Lith looked at his tablet screen and checked for the news regarding the Humans.

Devils had been running rampant in this place once again. A notice was issued to the Demon Court, and the only response they got from them was:

"Stop summoning the Devils then."

The Devils were sealed in the Abyss. The odds of them coming out on their own was almost nil. However, if the Humans summoned them, then that was another situation altogether.

The Human Court was in turmoil due to this incident. Each and every single house was being inspected for dark magic users and getting executed.

"Funnily enough, these guys are exploiting even that." Lith said and shook his head.

The inspection was not done by one person, but an organization having a hierarchy of employees.

The ones at the bottom, who got the first taste of power, exploited it by making false claims and getting what they wanted out of the people.

A surge of young girls being married off occurred along with many families falling below the poverty line.

At first, the scale of this was low, but the authorities quickly realized the problem and dissolved the organization. The criminals were punished, at least most of them, and the inspection eventually was being done in utmost secrecy with a small group of people.

There were billions of Humans and finding out who exactly was a dark magic user was difficult.

Due to the small group, the Humans were underpowered and the Devils began running rampant again, killing a good deal of mortals there.

It would take some more time for things to develop. Lith had plans to go see things from ground level and add fuel to the fire.

With their situation wrapped up, Lith checked up on Yuwen.

This guy was a hidden gem he had accidentally found during the war in the Neutral Continent.

His abilities as a merchant were peerless. In the last three hundred years, this guy had not only ascended to Half Saint Rank, but also ended up marrying the daughter of the World Merchant Association's President.

If Lith could see his potential, there was no way that the President wouldn't be able to.

All was going well for Yuwen with the additional backing of the Royal Clan.

The World Merchant Association was making profits in the world's chaotic misery.

Lots and lots of gambles were being placed in the dark by them with the help of Scelestus.

Who would be the next person to die? Which country will fall first? Which nation's princes will be married off to who, and so on and so forth were all the common things of the gambles.

A lot of underhanded means were taking place due to the gambles, such as people going ahead and rigging the events for their own benefits. This was causing even more chaos in the world, and was something that Lith found amusement in.

"It's a big mess." Lith chuckled. Too bad he couldn't be present at every event himself to witness it.

Lith put the tablet away and took a sip of tea, relaxing for a while.

He leaned back on the chair and stared at the scenic views of the Lake of Bewitchment.

A while later, a curvy maid with ample breasts walked towards Lith, holding a big stack of papers.

Lith looked at Luna and asked, "What's with so many papers?"

Luna put the papers beside Lith and said, "Orders from Her Majesty. I've been told to ask His Highness to go through them and sort things out."

"What?" Lith was surprised. He took a look at the papers and saw them all to be related to the problems arising between the plebeians and the nobles.

The first paper stated that the plebeians were boycotting all products of the nobles. They were attacking the noble lands and capturing it for their own use.

It had names, date, and time of the events.

The second paper stated the nobles torturing some plebeians in public.

The third paper stated the plebeians capturing some noble ladies and doing inappropriate things to them.

The fourth paper stated the nobles capturing some plebeian ladies and doing inappropriate things to them.

The fifth paper was a verdict from the Royal Clan with Lucy's stamp on it. This stated that children should be left alone in both places, and if harmed, would result in a strong reaction from the Royal Clan.

People did not dare disobey and except children, everyone else was struggling for survival.

The sixth paper talked about some children being exploited.

The seventh paper was Lucy's anger documented in text for Lith to read. She was unhappy with him causing such a problem here, and also stated he should've taken measures to not let the children be harmed.

The eight paper stated the things Lucy personally did to the people that tried to harm children.

A series of torture and executions happened on public grounds, giving a clear glimpse of the consequences that would occur if people dared harm the children.

Not only that, Lucy even made refugee camps appear in all major cities which provided a safe shelter for children.

Lucy only cared about the children as they were the society's future. The rest all could go kill themselves and it wouldn't matter.

These papers made Lith frown and ponder.

'I took measures for the trauma that would occur and the lives of people. But I did not take measures to keep children out of this.'

'Shit.' Lith realized his grave mistake.

He immediately got up and putting on a disguise hat, said, "Come with me Luna. We have lots of work to do. Call in the other maids as well."

"Yes, Your Highness." Luna obeyed and left to fetch the rest of the maids.

…..

In the outer ring of the Castle, Lith, wearing a black suit, brown vest, and a brown top hat, looked at his personal squad in common adventurer clothing.

Luna, Keith, Fanny, Fei, Sylvia, Milia, Joselyn, Solina, Idina, Tessa were standing in a semi-circle.

Beside them was the green-haired toddler Vargaros in a miniaturized adult adventurer's outfit.

Beside Vargaros were Lith's two disciples: Hyunsuk and Shi.

And finally, there was a black-haired, red-eyed handsome man with an aura similar like Lith's. This was Neo, a clone made from a high grade Destruction sword.

Lith had plans to deploy everybody as there were far too many places that required changes.

He looked at the maids and said, "Sylvia, you'll team up with Hecate and help protect the kids in the Witch Continent. The Dushkarbor girls will team up with Keith and provide relief to the kids in the Human Continent."

"Vargaros will go with Shi to the Human Continent as well. Your job is to execute any person who's actively harming kids."

"Hyunsuk and Neo will leave for the Demon Continent. Fanny, Fei, meet up with Vanessa and check the progress on the arrays."

"And Luna, you'll accompany me to the Neutral Continent."

"Does everyone understand?"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Good, now leave and get to work."
