Chapter 204 203: Uncertainty; Headquarters
Time went by after the appearance of the clown, and every resident of the Underworld all went through one emotion.
Uncertainty
All were uncertain about what the future held in store for them, or to be more precise, all were unsure about what their new leader held in store for them.
Would the already mad and hellish place of the Underworld become much worse?
Or would the Underworld become a more peaceful place?
Would there be more deaths in the Underworld?
Would there be less deaths in the Underworld?
Countless discussions on what changes would occur in the Underworld flew from every lips of the Underworld residents in the first three days after the clown's usurpation of the Underworld's leadership.
After the first three days, the just as the discussions were about to die down, people started noticing the disappearance of various Underworld officials, with the most shocking disappearance being that of the Underworld Lord of the Central Area.
Rumors and discussions flowed from the lips of one Underworld resident to another, as most people were worried on the topic of whether their new leader would also decide to kill some of them in the near future.
But despite all of these worries, concerns and uncertainties, Corey was only bothered about one thing- his business.
Corey was at first slightly curious about what would become of the Underworld after the clown took over, and although he didn't care whether it was the clown or the director that was the leader of the Underworld.
What he cared about, was whether the actions of the clown would affect his plans and business later in the future, and to be sure of that, Corey decided to call his number one informant… Divine.
Corey called Divine, and after some minutes of him questioning Divine, Divine giving him some answers and Divine dodging a few of his questions regarding the clown, Corey finally got his answer on his concern regarding his business. Which was-
'The Clown isn't going to affect our business, so stop worrying about shit and get stronger. If you can, get promoted to tier 2 as soon as possible. Your safety would be more guaranteed if you become stronger.'
After getting a confident reply from Divine, Corey stopped worrying about the activities of the clown, and focused more on his business.
There was one thing he wanted for his business, which is a headquarters, a main office.
He wanted a place where he could improve on Neon, make better poisons, and also, practice an art which was surprisingly and extremely dangerous… alchemy.
He also wanted to increase the size of his drug business, and for that to happen, he needed a headquarters. He had this nagging feeling that he would need take more drastic actions to survive whatever was coming for him in the future.
He didn't know what this feeling was, but he definitely could not ignore it.
Due to the presence of Justin, who he rarely sees nowadays, Corey could not improve his poison concoction abilities, make lots of Neon, and so on in his actual residence.
Although he gave the Terror Queen a part of the concoction method of Neon so as to reduce the amount of work he had to do, he still wanted his own business headquarters where he could monitor the production of Neon anytime he wanted, and also perform other activities.
At first, he planned on working out the headquarters on his own, but the next day, he got a surprise visit from his group members- Dave, Triple X, Black Bonez Fatty, Rosa and Melissa.
Divine was absent, for reasons he cared not about.
The first thought that came into his mind when he saw his group members, was that there was a problem or Divine gave all of them a mission.
And just as he guessed, Divine gave them a mission, which was to help him with whatever he wanted in regards to his business.
Corey was surprised request, and when he asked why Divine gave them such an order. The reply he received from Melissa was:
"Captain Divine believes that making the business more successful would make us stronger. Because, as long as the business is successful, it would give us more value points, and more value points can make us stronger in various ways."
After hearing Melissa's reply, Corey told them about his desire for a headquarters of Neon, and to say the least, the group were surprised hearing that since his first plan was to make Neon as secretive as possible, but now he wanted to give Neon more exposure?
Corey understood the reason behind their surprise, and he explained some of his reasons for wanting a headquarters, and after listening to his words, every member in the group agreed.
They all talked about the pros and cons of having a headquarters, the location, size and so on. After discussing all of these, everybody from the group picked their roles in the creation of the headquarters.
And to everybody's surprise, the first person to pick a role, was Triple X. Although, everybody was surprised, they decided not to ask questions and just took it as it is.
Triple X volunteered to look for the location of the headquarters.
Melissa volunteered to recruit people that would be able to run the administrative aspect of the business in the headquarters.
Rosa volunteered to recruit security guards for the headquarters.
Dave volunteered to recruit the eyes and ears of the headquarters.
And Fatty Black Bonez volunteered to recruit… maids.
Before the females in the group could rebuke Fatty Black Bonez with disgust, Fatty Black Bonez explained that they would definitely need people that would clean the headquarters, and he planned on recruiting the helpless and suffering females in the Underworld to be the maids.
He told the females that what he was doing was basically helping the helpless females.
Although, Melissa and Rosa knew that Fatty Black Bonez had ulterior motives for hiring maids, they had no argument for his words, since his words were true.
As long as he hired the poor and helpless females who were obviously suffering, their lives would be a lot better in their new headquarters. And with that, the females decided to leave Fatty Black Bonez who had a slight smirk on his lips.
After everybody picked their roles in the creation of the new headquarters, Corey decided to continue his production of Neon so as to make more money, and just like that two weeks went by.
