Chapter 143: Perverts and Programmed Slaves

While Piercing Fans were watching an event where Lynd would be performing a one-handed miracle match against several fans, a dark gathering was happening elsewhere.

While anyone with power or prestige were busy preparing or making preparations either on the business side or on the political side of Harker's sudden rise to power, some of the unaffected and perverted groups were slowly traveling in secret to a specific location.

With these events occurring, no one noticed that Seeker Carlean had ended his stream early and was believed to be headed home.

The truth was far from it. As this night was extremely crucial several preparations were made to ensure and fool the world of Seeker's actual location.

Several soldiers who had Seeker's build and height would meet with Seeker on specific points of the city and wear clothes similar to Seeker while Seeker had to change to another set of clothes that matched the soldiers who met up with Seeker.

One may say it was paranoid or overkill, but considering the secret acts that would transpire that night, some would even consider the precautions as risky.

Seeker strode with a strange expression. The moon shone brightly overhead. Seeker gazed at the full moon and snickered. Tonight was a night were many would finally reveal their animalistic instincts.

This night was a night that was practically prepared and anticipated by several of the most prominent names in society. Be it in politics, entertainment, and even religion.

It was a night of dark feastings. And although the world would condemn them and demand for their immediate death, the old rule that has existed since time immemorial still stands even in the Supra-Modern Era. The Rich, the Powerful could do anything they wanted.

Despite the hateful cries of the world, men and women of power had found ways and avenues for them to claim their desires. The Underworld became the haven for these men. Not many really knew of the workings of the Underworld. Mainstream media and the government refused to acknowledge the existence of the underbelly of the world and so, not many even knew of the deep darkness the world was in.

After years and years of practice, and people have finally mastered the art of hiding their evil deeds. While the whole world despised and condemned acts of human trafficking, sexual exploitations, inhuman experiments and the like, there has never been a time in the world that these three key elements were the highest paying jobs, with the most unbelievable secrecy.

Three months ago, Harker had finally leaked a piece of certain information. The price for knowing the information was already costly, and the price of taking part in it would only enable the richest of the world to take part in it.

Two pieces of information were dispersed to a select few. Those who knew of the first information would not reach ten on Earth. Those who knew of the second were climbing by the hundreds.

The first information was that Seeker Carlean was a Programmed Slave. This information shocked the leaders of several nations when they found out about this. They did not leak this information but cascaded another information that was of equal worth.

Seeker Carlean was open for purchase. His hourly rates were in the millions and those who can pay the higher prices get the first taste of Seeker.

Around the world, those who could take a slice of the Seeker pie suddenly scrambled and placed their bids.

Harker made a deal with a respected organization in the Underworld who would be in charge of hosting the event and place to be able to taste Seeker Carlean.

The preparations of a single gathering to taste this authentic and incomparable dish was set and everyone who wanted to take part in this made their necessary preparations.

And while the world marveled at the capture of Pangea, certain news was sent to all the highest bidders. They have over ten hours to go to Pangea, as Seeker Carlean was open for reservations for the next three days.

It was shocking. But everyone understood and became willing to go to Pangea. Now that Harker had allied with Colestar and especially now that there were no competitions in the Underworld, tonight would be the perfect night! Even the organizations that were against Harker would be too busy for their preparations for Harker's coming actions!

Tonight was the first of many nights and the lowest bidder who was called for this night reached over a hundred million credits.

Seeker continued to walk with a disguise that perfectly made him appear like a normal kid.

Although he was walking and crossing the busy streets, unbeknownst to the onlookers, surrounding Seeker were several men and women who were keeping an eye on Seeker,

The people following Seeker all wore different kinds of clothes. Some were jogging, some had business attires, while others still had casual clothes and walked by pairs.

Their purpose was to simply cover Seeker on several key locations in the city square.

And with that, Seeker moved and moved closer to his destination.

Upon entering the building, the guard on duty noticed it and smiled as he saw Seeker approaching.

"He's here." The guard spoke through a comm device.

At that moment, the security surveillance of the building watched the monitors that were being displayed.

As Seeker's view disappeared on the cameras outside of the building and into the building halls, the man immediately pressed the button and a falsified feed was displayed on the CCTV cameras.

With that Seeker managed to go through the halls without being seen on camera.

Seeker moved towards the elevator and didn't press any number but instead pressed on the button to allow Seeker to speak directly to the security surveillance team who was waiting for the signal.

"Casual." Seeker spoke softly.

That was the signal.

The man immediately knew what to do as he pressed on a button that made the elevator go down.

Deep down. Lower than the lowest floor registered.

Inside an exquisite and well-decorated bar, soft jazz music was being played as several of the rich and powerful sat and drank to their heart's content. It was not a chaotic disco bar that was dark and loud.

It was the exact opposite. The people were loud but not boisterous, they each carried a certain class in them as continued to converse.

"Is it time?" A famous politician inquired at the barkeep.

"We've just gotten word that he is in the building." The barkeeper responded.

"Excellent! Excellent!" The politician smiled.

Those around the bar heard of the news and cheered. Their previously classy expressions had a trace of lust and excitement.

Several of the women who were there started to lick their lips.

"Months of preparation and it seems that we can finally go through with this!" A famous business stood up and walked towards the door to wait for the star to come in.

"This has got to be the most satisfying event in years! Who would think that that genius Harker managed to accomplish this in three months!" Another sighed in excitement.

"I had to fake an injury." A well-known athlete sighed.

"I had to fake some diseases…" Laughed a movie producer.

"Shall we go over the order? First, the individuals who paid top money will go. The transferring is ready." A prompt and strict man spoke as he went over the computer to display the order.

Projected on a hologram is the order of people who would go first in using Seeker. On the bottom was the grouping for those who wished to participate in yet another round.

"Hold it!" A woman stood up.

"I am willing to top Levan's place and pay an additional 10 million credits!" The woman spoke as she glared angrily at another man.

The man she identified as Levan simply chuckled.

"Now, now, Amanda. You know the rules. No price changes." He chuckled.

"It is as Levan spoke, madam." Another man added.

Amanda simply frowned and sat down with a sour expression.

The door handle shook as the sounds of a slow rustling movement could be heard.

The person who was opening the door showed hesitation as the delay and slow movements had awkward pauses in between.

Suddenly the door was opened.

Seeker Carlean walked in dressed in an extremely good-looking suit.

His appearance was well-groomed as his black hair was brushed neatly.

He exuded an aura of confidence.

Everyone in that bar stood up and approached Seeker staring at Seeker's breath-taking form and face.

The eyes of everyone grew wider as their pupils dilated.

This event has been practiced and planned with over two months' worth of preparation. With the strict rules and protection that Pangea had emplaced on Seeker, it was almost impossible to get Seeker to be in these gatherings. But now, it was made possible. These rich and powerful people had all promised to spend millions and nearly billions of credits while some offered their Sydians.

"Seeker Carlean! My Seeker Carlean!" A woman moaned longingly.

"Hahaha!" A man laughed lustfully.

"Three hundred million credits! It's all worth it!" Another man spoke excitedly.

"The star of the show has arrived!" Levan walked towards Seeker.

"It is true! They didn't lie! You really are open to these… things… oh, Casual Carlean!" Levan's smile was strange and the great greed and lust could be seen in his eyes.

"Levan! I'm warning you!" Amanda spoke in disgust. The thought that her Seeker would be so tainted when she would finally have her turn made her so angry.

Levan ignored her and simply laughed.

"In three hours… his mine." A fat man looked excitedly at Seeker.

Others started to calculate when their turn would be. Each paid enough for one hour and thirty minutes. And considering there would be a gap to 'clean' Seeker up with top-notch technology, a few five or ten-minute gap was also added on their equations.

Levan took out his own drugs which he prepared for the occasion.

"I really have to thank you, guys." Seeker smiled.

"This five-day break from streaming is what I need." Seeker laughed.

"Oh? You actually anticipate this? My my… I will make sure to give you a good time!" The man laughed.

"Not really. What I meant was, my departure from the watchful eyes of Pangea could not have been made possible without you. Now I can finally stretch my hands. Too bad, a lot of changes have to be made." Seeker smiled.

It wasn't as exaggerated as before.

Seeker's Overpowering Will caused a strange paralysis that was similar to having their muscles harden. No one fell down.

The fear was so intense, that everyone turned stiff. Their muscles never rested as it contracted and experienced a strange spasm. This was one of the few things Seeker managed to understand from the Tyrant Empress. Although Seeker couldn't force a person to be attracted to him through looks, the combination of Meng's own biology and the foundations that built the Tyrant Empress' realm somatotopy had allowed Seeker to create this minor petrification technique.

"Now, let's add fear in the mix." Seeker smiled as he dove into his memories to rekindle the dark terrors he faced.

Aside from the emotions that Seeker leaked, the overpowering force of Seeker's new body allowed him to perform a minor effect that Meng had. To the eyes of his onlookers, Seeker wasn't human but everyone shuddered and instinctively thought that Seeker was something else.

In that instant five died immediately from a heart attack. Though they were dead as they're heart had failed, they were standing still. The intense invasion of Seeker's cells had caused their brains to still act and send signals throughout the body.

The Realm of an Overcomer had crushed them.

"Good. A perfect score. Those that we concluded could die of a heart attack died immediately. It looks like my reapers' breath has gotten stronger than ever… Or is it because of Meng's cancer cells?" Seeker was satisfied with the result but pondered on the possibilities.

"There are sixteen of you here. Five have now died… As planned… three would commit suicide. While two would die being murdered by some of you… while the rest will remain as slaves. Slaves who will die at our discretion to cover the intense exchange of money that will transpire tonight. Perfect. And after getting all your money, the trail leading back to me will almost be non-existent. Gentlemen, we've done the impossible. We stole over a billion credits right under the intense and watchful eyes of Pangea, the Underworld, the WGP and the Aragarians." Seeker smiled and started to applause.

"Two months… I had to prepare for this and made Harker use his Path to take over this disgusting organization. And after that, we had to wait until we got Pangean. Now I can easily use this venue to call out all the disgusting perverts like you, take your money and do whatever I can with you." Seeker narrated as he walked towards one of the men who died with a heart attack.

"At the same time… I finally get to stretch my legs and face more assassins." Seeker motioned and several of the guards approached Seeker.

It was clear that their paces were slow and difficult.

"Ge-Ge-general…" A guard approached as he handed over an enclosed laptop with shaking arms.

"Don't feel guilty. It's impressive that you didn't even drop the laptop." Seeker smiled.

Seeker took a quick look at the numbers.

"Nice. That's nearly 2 billion credits. I guess we can find ways to spend some more on buying technological weapons from Meng and Lennox. Are the gambling dens ready?" Seeker smiled greedily at the amount of cash they would earn tonight.
