Chapter 18

"Oh nicely done genius, here not even half a hour and already making big enemies, what he said about his family is true so you know, they also have a lot of apprentice mages and swordsmen they have been secretly training, the patriarch though doesn't care much about the pig so your lucky there but his mother does and she will no doubt do all she can to harm you for this." Vail tells him.

"Well what do you think I should do then? Your supposed to be the smart computer that will help me save the world and stuff after all." Jace fires back with a smirk confusing the girls as they aren't able to hear Vail or Crimson but assumed it was just due to feeling satisfaction from his actions.

"You go in, kill everyone and let me suck them dry, no matter how strong they may be if I drain them dry they won't have any strength left, or if you cant do that let the poison work on them like the pig, I can make it far more potent for you and have it kill them faster." Crimson says.

Seeing Jace actually consider it well he heads to a small restaurant to get everyone some food Vail reacted quickly. "You damn blood sucking butterknife! Is all you care about blood? If he does that it would just paint a target on him and leave a power vacuum of chaos! He needs to lay low, build up a power base and reputation so he can stand strong and have this as his foundation." She says in annoyance.

"That would take to long and way to boring, besides he can show his strength this way, become a conqueror of this city, oh I know, you gave me a big idea you obsolete calculator! Find out the people in power in this city other than its ruler, use your records to see what they would want most along with the ruler and use that to make them fear and see Jace as their boss! Then they can help get those pricks all together and we wipe them out and spit the profits, we would be rulers of this city as we expand out and there wouldn't be that vacuum your worried about." Crimson says, Jace admittedly felt it had a good point and the plan might actually work, even Vail didn't have an immediate comeback for that one.

"I cant believe I'm going to say this but the sentient meat skewer has a good idea, it would not only solve our current problem but also give us a stepping stone to work out of well being out the public view as the nobles and lord would be the face well we work in the shadows, fitting the original criteria of becoming a shadow boss. Give me some time to process and work through the information I have on record." Vail eventually says.

"So this is a human restaurant? How is it you people can stand a place so cramped and filled with others? And how do you even know the meat your eating isn't tainted or messed with if it's not something you've killed yourself." Eve's voice chimes breaking Jace form his mental conversations and drawing his focus to the pair.

"It's a matter of trust and I guess you can say pride, the owner wouldn't allow something to happen to the people coming here because it would mean he wouldn't make money and a persons greed and pride do the rest to ensure you get what you pay for." He tells them as he goes over the menu and helping them choose a meal within his budget that he had left from the bandits, reminding himself that he must turn in those teeth after this to get some coin again.

With a huff Eve just muttered something about Laziness as Arial seemed overly excited by the small maze on kids menu that had been left on the table.
