My NTR Harem

Inside the 40th group branch, a short man was sitting inside a large hall that had more than fifty chairs lined up together.

Men in black suits were seated on all of them. In front of them, two men stood on a high platform as if explaining something.

The principal sat on the side.

He had come at the wrong time when all these people were having a meeting, but since it was not a secret, they allowed him to listen to their discussion.

"How many of you are at the 2nd phase?"

An old man with a short white beard and long white hair stood on the high platform.

He seemed more than eighty years old and looked as if he would fall to the ground in the next instant.

He was the man who managed the finance and planning of the 40th branch. Everyone here just referred to him as "Old Man."

All the people seated were the members of the group, and most of them had awakened.

Hearing the question, over four people raised their hands.

These were the four elites of the group, and one of them even had an ability.

All the rest of the members looked at them with respect and fear.

Even if they didn't possess any ability, being at a higher Phase meant they had better physical capability and more Fog in their bodies.

"Only four, sigh, even after all our efforts the result isn't very satisfying," the leader of the group said. He was at the 2nd Phase of Evolution and even had an ability.

He had a close connection with someone higher in the Harmony House, so he was able to become the leader of a group, while the others were at the very least of the 3rd Phase.

He was middle-aged with a sharp gaze and a strange-looking beard with red dots all over, which was natural and made him stand out.

His body was in good shape, which was also because of his ability.

"It's fine, if you could manage to get to the 3rd Phase then we would be able to raise our ranks.

Haa, if only you are not lazing around and focus on yourself more, and no more drinking from today," the old man shouted as if scolding a child.

The leader just turned his head downwards, not daring to retaliate.

"Y- Yes, sir," the leader replied. The members of the group laughed secretly seeing this exchange.

Their leader was usually quite strict with others, so they enjoyed such moments where they could relax.

'If only he wasn't a father figure to me, tsk, these bastards are laughing at me because of you, old man.

Just wait till I reach the 3rd Phase, then you would only be able to feel proud of me,' the leader thought.

He knew he wasted a lot of time previously, but now he was going to do his best.

"Anyway, the 2nd Phase Chasm that we have been holding onto for almost a year now, which was previously cleared, is back to its original state.

We had allowed those creatures to grow so that there could be another leader at the peak of 2nd Phase.

After we clear it, I will finally be able to reach the 3rd Phase if nothing goes wrong," the leader spoke in a loud voice.

All the members cheered in joy and seemed very excited.

They had earned quite a lot of money already, but what they wanted more was status.

Being number 40, they were almost at the bottom of awakened people in the organization.

"Hmmm, good. By the end of it, we will have one 3rd Phase awakened and at least a dozen more 2nd Phase awakeners.

We will be leaving in a week, so prepare as much as you can. This is a life-changing event for you all. From this moment on, our life is only going to flourish."

As the man spoke, all the people in the room cheered loudly.

The principal knew about the existence of the awakeners, but along with this business, he was at the lowest position.

He would occasionally send new members to the group or help the children of these people in the school.

After some more talk, all the members were ordered to wait in their seats while the leader and the old man went to discuss something with the principal.

"I am so envious, if only I could awaken too," one of the men said, looking at the awakened people in the group.

The four people who were at the 2nd Phase were like royalty in the entire group, and even among them, the one with an ability was even more special.

They all just sat in the seats and discussed the upcoming event.

They hadn't gone inside the Chasm and had allowed the creatures inside to develop so they could clear it again and reap more benefits.

Inside a small office, the principal sat in front of the old man and the leader.

He had a nervous expression on his face, and because of his short height, his face was barely visible above the table.

"Tell me the reason why you came to me so suddenly. You even called us, even though I have ordered you never to call us directly unless the situation is too dire,"

The old man said with an authoritative tone, as he caressed his short beard.

"S- Sir, actually, there is this boy in my school, and today he threatened me with a video of us making a deal.

Even though he is not a threat, it is the exact video that is in your possession, so…" the principal spoke in a meek tone, his gaze focused on his short feet.

"Huh? Are you really here for such a small reason? You really wasted my time even when I was in such an important meeting. Also, are you implying I leaked that video of yours?" asked the leader.

He let out all the anger he felt earlier at his subordinates on the principal.

"N- N- No, sir, that's not what I m- meant. I just wanted to i- inform you that he had somehow stolen that video from y- you; I wanted to know what you w- wish me to d- do,"

T principal said, his body shivering. Even though he acted all mighty in school, in the business, he was just nothing.

"Hah, this small fool, that's why I don't like to do any business with idiots. I guess age and brain don't go hand in hand.

If I had a son like you, I would go back and make sure to slap myself for not using a condom.

Your father's sperms must be of the lowest quality if someone like you could win the race.

Only if your mother knew you would be such a big—uhh, small disgrace, then she would have drunk acid instead of keeping you for nine months.

Ugh, that pitiful woman—" the old man shouted, his face turning red and his breathing becoming heavy.

Only when the leader stood up and spoke did the old man finally stop.

"Calm down, old man, calm down. It's not good for your health.

You have high BP, so don't take too much stress because of this dwarf bastard," the leader said as he patted the old man's back before passing him a glass of water.

The principal sat there with a bright red face as he bit his lips.

He felt enraged since they not only cursed him but even his dead parents.

Yet there was nothing that he could do now. If he really tried, he would be killed immediately.

So, drinking a bitter gulp, he forced a small smile and said in a low voice,

"S- Sorry, sir, I will deal with him myself. I didn't know you were so busy. I will leave now—"

BANG

Just then, the three of them heard some noise from outside. At first, they felt confused and looked at one another while remaining seated.

Then the commotion became much louder, forcing the leader to rush out of the room in a hurry. He had a bad feeling about this.

After knocking on the metallic door, Lucian stood back. Soon he heard the sound of footsteps, and then the door opened.

It was the same burly man who had come earlier. He was not an awakened, but being so close to Chasms, he had surpassed peak human strength.

"Who is it now—w- what? You are… ughhh," the burly man looked at Lucian in shock, since he saw the figure of a person being engulfed by black flames.

Even in the bright daylight, he looked horrifying.

SNAP

Without saying anything, Lucian took a step forward. His hands moved like lightning, and before the burly man even knew what was happening, his gaze shifted to a different view.

Even though he was standing toward the outside, he was still able to see part of the corridor, which should have been behind him.

Only then did he realize that his head had been turned backwards and he had died.

THUD

The lifeless body of the burly man fell down with his head turned backwards.

" ABSORB "

A small black fluid-like tentacle came out of Lucian's finger and absorbed all his blood and flesh.

The previously burly man was now just a pile of bones and skin.

Lucian walked slowly, the sound of his footsteps reverberating in the silent corridor, while the black flames around his body seemed to bring darkness to the surroundings.
