BXBX NOVEL Chapter 163 Ethical Dilemma
Many expressions appeared on his face as he thought about multiple ways and scenarios: "Hiring Assassin guilds is not a good option. First, I am already low on money; even if I had more money, I would just be filling the pockets of the assassin Guilds while doing little to no damage to the Tiwari Clan."
"This way is a black hole. Only merchants with billions in their accounts can try this method. The second reason is that while Assassins Guilds may try to take vows that they will not reveal the identity of their client, the record tells of instances where they sold out their client for money and got on the good side of the Big Clans."
"Thirdly, Assasin Guilds are funded by Big Clans only."
"What to do? There must be a way," he sat down and started thinking; he had decided not to leave until he had a plan.
"Righ, I remember planning to create my own Assasin Clan. I have even found the first person who will be a good candidate; he is talented and has a strong determination; other things could be learned."
"But, how will I convince him?" He started scratching his head while looking for solutions, and he sighed after a while, "Ahh! It would have been easier if I could ask for suggestions, but this is my fight; dragging them to Hell like this is not a good idea."
Many strange ideas started coming into his head: "Should I brainwash him?" He was considering every option. "Or should I make his life hell and play as a savior?"
"It\'s tough. I am not someone who particularly cares about good or evil, but even more than ethics, all of these plans can backfire. It\'s not like I am the first one to have these ideas. There are millions like me, and some of them have even tried way crueler methods."
"But there is a major flaw in these strategies. If the person controlled discovers the truth, then a weapon created by you suddenly starts hurting you. I don\'t want a dog that bites his own master; a dog is still an animal, but humans are way scarier."
He was sweating from the thought of having an assassin after you that knows all your secrets. He will start assassinating people closer to you one by one.
"It sounds like the story of a novel; while a contract can save my ass for a while, it also has its limits, plus where would I get my hands on such a precious contract. I am jealous of demons now; should I summon a devil and ask for the \'Devil Contract\' skill?"
"No!" Sweat started appearing all over his body; he even got goosebumps when he thought of the consequences. "Devils are someone who would not make a deal with loss; is it even worth it dealing with such a cunning and sly creature for such a small thing?"
"It\'s like fixing your dislocated arm by hammering it with a hammer bigger than yourself; it\'s like eating scorching food with a spoon so you don\'t burn your hands."
"Only a higher being with vast knowledge can help me, but do I know any such being? And even if I knew him, why would that help me?" Many questions started appearing in his mind. He started analyzing while also thinking about the people that could help him.
"Asking help from Mother, who is a nature spirit, for using other fellow humans?" She will be disappointed in me and may even punish me. He got chills all over his body from thinking of making someone like Mother, who can track you everywhere on Earth, angry.
"Do I even know any other being that has knowledge like that? Someone who doesn\'t care about good or evil? Someone who believes more in outcomes than process?" His face brightened up as he started thinking about it.
"But is there someone I know who fits in this category?" He started searching his memory and suddenly got flashbacks of his conversation with Vinay. He had told him that there is a Yakshini that always follows him.
He started laughing again, this time even more loudly. The passersby heard his evil laugh and felt chills all over their bodies; they ran away without thinking about anything else.
"Yakshini! If she was sealed in the book, she might be very old; from her background, it is an area of her expertise. She has a Ph.D. in controlling humans, but most importantly, why would she help me?"
"I should first research the Yaksha Race properly; it will give me some ideas on how I can convince her."
He searched online about the Yaksha Race, and what he discovered blew his mind.
They are a class of generally benevolent but sometimes mischievous, capricious, sexually rapacious, or even murderous spirit creatures who are the custodians of treasures and tombs. Each of them has a unique personality, like humans; they are deities of a village, town, city, or clan.
"Holy Shit! Vinay is carrying a Diety around with him. What I found was interesting and an eye-opener, but it told me they are all very different. From what I can calculate from the data I have on the one with Vinay, it ain\'t one of the benevolent ones, which makes her even scarier."
"Vinay is my brother; he will at least save my life if things get out of control. So she is on a diet; this makes things even more interesting. I have nothing to give her. So I should meet with her sincerely; let\'s see if I can come to an agreement.
He closed his eyes and thought again before sighing, "It\'s not like I have any other choice; I could even get more knowledge after talking to her."
"Vinay told me he can\'t be near other girls. If I connect the dots, it\'s clear she doesn\'t want Vinay to be near other girls. I can try to please her by promising her I will keep an eye on him.
Sorry, bro, you can at least do this much for me, and it\'s not like she will watch if you try to do something like that. She will literally make you and the girl that you approached life Hell. Every power has a price, but you still got it easy."
He laughed when he thought of Vinay\'s situation. "I don\'t know to be jealous of you or feel pity for you. Admiring beauties is the fundamental right of every man, plus people have started to think there is something wrong with him as he avoids girls like plagues."
