Villain: The Play of Destiny

"We have reached an agreement with the Clark Family. The terms you provided them were readily agreed, and the problem with the shortage of Labor has been resolved now..." May gave him a detailed account of how their Group's projects were progressing. And after she finished, her son started giving his account about how the Company under his care was working.

"We are expecting a 9.7% more profit compared to the last year by the end of the ongoing financial year..." Sebastian took his time, and twenty minutes later, he finally finished. "The new kits for Sameran City FC have been designed. We can not terminate the contracts with the current sponsors right now, but by the end of the next season, our Group can become the sole sponsor for Sameran City FC."

"There's no need to terminate any contracts. We will see them through." Keith shook his head.

"Very well." Sebs nodded his head.

"How are things progressing with the Christian Falken scandal?"

"Falken Family have refrained from making any statements, and their legal team is preparing to tackle the case on grounds of Defamation..." The young man told him everything in detail. "The girl is safely under Police Protection, and we can no longer protect her using our resources without revealing ourselves." He meaningfully said.

Keith nodded to him and then thoughtfully closed his eyes.

He always knew that the case would not bring much harm to the Falken Family, but that was not his goal. His goal was to shred Christian's image in public, and things were working as planned.

The public opinion of Christian was falling to new lows, and his image in the circle had suffered a hit that would take years for him to recover from.

"There's no need to protect the girl anymore. Just arrange for tighter Police Security for her and her family." He said and then opened his eyes before getting up from his chair. "Focus on our Business in the coming year. Some forces will try to become a hindrance, and you must prepare to tackle and resolve every possible scenario."

"I understand, Young Master!" Sebastian stood up from his seat and then bowed to him before taking his leave.

It was indeed a true luxury to have smart, capable, and loyal subordinates. One that he was very grateful for.

May stayed in the Study and followed Keith to the couches, where they both sat down and then discussed Project Noxville for the next hour.

After giving her some detailed instructions about the people of interest that they needed to recruit for their Projects, Keith asked her to go and get some rest now.

It was already 2 am, and May had office early in the morning. Though she did not show it, he could still see that she was tired and needed some sleep.

Keith leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes.

Nowadays, he just had a little too much to think about, and when he was on his way to Netheria yesterday, he received some information from Nyx about the personal favour he had asked her.

Ye Tian fell unconscious two weeks ago and woke up seven days later. And surprisingly, he managed to transcend from the early state of the Great-Profound Realm to the Peak of the Great-Profound Realm right after waking up.

Even though he had not informed Nyx about it, she told him that Ye Tian had awakened his Special Physique, which was the reason behind his sudden gain in Cultivation.

It was something that took him off-guard as Ye Tian was not supposed to awaken his Physique for the next three years. And this meant that the Ye Tian he would have to face in the future was going to be much stronger than the one he remembered from the Plan of Destiny he had watched in his Dream.

Keith was sure that this was all the result of him stealing Rebecca. Destiny compensated its child for the loss, but no matter what the compensation, Ye Tian had lost a big chunk of his Fate that he would never recover.

And this got him thinking about another Child of Destiny.

Yexuan Parker, younger brother of Alana Parker. He had stolen from him the Heroine that was meant for him, but so far, he had not shown any changes. He was still just a normal middle-school boy.

Lost in his thoughts, Keith poured himself a glass of wine and then walked towards the Piano.

Soon a soothing melody filled the room as his slender fingers danced on the keys. And all the Plans of Destiny he had read in his Dream kept playing in his mind.

He knew very well that the knowledge of the future he possessed would eventually become stale. And what he possessed was knowledge through the Plans of Destiny. It was quite possible that some plans were bound to not work out.

The Children of Destiny whom he had already interfered with were undoubtedly going to see some unexpected changes. And the best he could do now was keep an eye out for all these changes.

If he was being honest, a part of him was really excited for all the surprises Destiny had in store for him, but he was not going to just interfere in the Plans of Destiny ahead of time, intending to change the plot to cure his future boredom. He knew he had to remain patient and cautious.

Thankfully, he did not need to interfere in the lives of the rest of the Children of Destiny who were going to show up in this world in the future. Well, at least, not yet.

A devilish smile crept on his face and the beautiful melody suddenly turned into something haunting that could send chills up one's spine.

He wondered how Ye Tian would react in the future when he arrives in the city.

Though the poor man had no clue that Rebecca was meant for him, he did know that he had a Fiancee in the Lin Family of Sameran City.

Qingyue was going to cut off all her ties with her father. And after the death of her grandfather, who was not going to live past another year, the only link she would have with the Lin Family would be her younger half-brother whom she cared about. But it was not something that could force her into a situation against her will.

With him and Celine by her side, the two people whom she loved dearly, nothing could be imposed on her or could sway her away from him.

Ye Tian, the leader of the Blue Fang Mercenary Group, a Soldier of the Netherian Military, who was indefinitely suspended from duty, was going to cry tears of blood in the future.

His Fiancee was gone, and his childhood sweetheart was gone too. He had lost the support of his future pillars in the City who were the Grayson Family and Gouzo. And now, only Lin and Falken remained to help him out a little.

Of course, killing Lin Houtian would result in Ye Tian losing another pillar, but Keith did not intend to kill that man just yet.

Prolonging a man's suffering and making him helplessly watch as he loses everything was more fun than simply ending his miserable life.

He also knew that Ye Tian would find some new helpers under the ministrations of Destiny. And frankly, he did not care much about any of it.

No matter what, he was going to make Ye Tian suffer pains that the poor man had never thought of in his life. The bright child of Destiny was going to fall from grace, and nothing could save him from Keith.

Against absolute Wealth and Power, everything else was futile. And he was going to become something unshakeable in this world in the coming few years.

He finished the song he had just created on a whim, and then stood up to stretch his arms before walking towards his bedroom.

A smile crept on his face when he entered the room and found his cute little maid sitting on the rug, playing around with the black cub. She was really sleepy as indicated by her half-lidded eyes, but she still happily smiled as she combed its fur with her fingers.

<Go, take him to your room and get some sleep.> He crouched next to her and patted her head, and Minami obediently nodded her head.

She turned to look towards Rebecca, who was busy talking with Amelia as they both went through the designs the latter had made in the last few weeks, and debated if she should disturb them.

<You can take him with you.> He knew that she was troubled about taking Void with her without Rebecca's permission, but after Keith told her again, she did not hesitate and bowed to him before leaving the room with the cub in her arms.

"Aren't you tired?" He approached his ladies and then planted a kiss on their heads.

"No!" Rebecca shook her head and then showed him her favourite design from one of their Noxville Projects. "It's a beautiful Castle!" She brightly smiled at him. "Can we keep it?"

"You want to buy it?" He grinned at her. "We will give you a discount and you can get it for 200 Million Neris."

"You are going to take money from me?" She narrowed her eyes at him in dissatisfaction. Not in the least happy about the 50 Million discount they had offered her on it.

"Business is business." He smiled at her and then went through the Design book, where 20 different Castles were designed. Some were modern Castles, whilst others had a medieval charm to them, but each one of these Castles were absolutely beautiful.

"Amelia told me that she had six more Castles to design." The blonde girl said after he finished going through them.

"Yes." He nodded to her. "There will be a total of 26 of these Castles that will be put on sale. And 55 Luxury Villas and Mansions" He said and then smiled at her. "But she's also going to design a 27th Castle, which will belong to our Family."

His words brought an excited smile to her face, and she enthusiastically started asking Amelia questions about it after the emerald-eyed girl nodded to her.

However, his wife had no plans for it yet, but she assured the blonde girl that their Castle will be more beautiful than any of the ones she had seen.

The two ladies had no intentions of going to bed anytime soon, and they kept chatting with each other over Amelia's plans for the rest of her designs.

But he was tired, and he drifted off to sleep as soon as he changed his clothes and got into his bed.
