《Marvel elixir: Rise of mutant empire》Chapter 4

" Burn the garden, young master " Sebastian asked in a very surprised voice.
"Yes it's time that I let her rest and not disturb her," Joshua said without any emotion in his voice.
Sebastian knows that his master is in pain right now but he also knows it is necessary. He has truly moved on and dedicated himself to his purpose.
It will take time but the wounds will heal in time.
After dumping the body Sebastian and Joshua were now traveling towards the Board of Directors meeting.
Joshua is turning 16 this year and he can take the CEO seat of Foley Textiles.
Joshua's company is one of the top companies in the Textile market. The company itself is worth 200 million dollars.
You might be thinking it is not so much of wealth. But you are forgetting that It is 1986. And at this time this much money is a lot.
Also, Joshua has asked Sebastian to create a Newspaper company, and just in 6 months with Joshua's direction, they became the No 1 newspaper in the U.S.A.
Now they have even 5 different types of magazines for various topics and are targeting every age group.
He also started a NEWS channel too 3 months ago.
Joshua knows from his past world that the one who controls the media always wins.
If you have media at your tips then you can control the thinking of people. You can create news. You don't need evidence if you have Media houses at your fingertips.
You can make a good government look like a dictatorship. You could make a drug addict a victim. You can create riots if you use your cards right.
And that's what Joshua is aiming at. To control people's thinking process.
Joshua might have told his parents that he will kill all of humanity but he knows it is not possible.
Only some percentage of people control this world. He would have to kill them and them this world is his to take. But the problem is that these people have great assets to themselves and thus the war is on the horizon.

Now that Joshua can legally take the company's ownership, some people have grown their ambition.
Now Joshua will not humor them by playing the game.
The game is only good till someone smashes the board. And he is gonna smash the board so hard that even hulk would soil the earth.
Now the problem is that someone named Patrick who has 13 percent of his company's total share thinks that he could bite more than he can chew.
He is making deals with other boards of directors. He is bribing them and telling them that I am crazy.
He is even demanding that the company have a share in my news business.
Greed truly is a man's doom.
He has to set an example out of him.
" We are here, Young master "
" Thanks Sebastian"
" it's my duty, young master "
"No, it's not. Gosh, how many times I have to tell you. You are not just a Butler."
Sebastian didn't say anything. He knows his young master thinks of him as his own family member. And the feeling is mutual.
" Let's meet the directors they are waiting for you." Sebastian reminded him with a thin smile.
board meeting room
Today at the order of Sebastian no employee was at the work. Today was their holiday.
Everyone knows that today the future boss will be decided and everyone was sure that Petrick has already won, they were in it for a nasty surprise.
Actually, it is not their fault. Joshua's age let them think he is a pushover.
They think that he granted a holiday because he wanted to save his face.
In the meeting room, there were 10 people with professional clothing. 3 of them were women and 7 men.
They were discussing something when Joshua and Sebastian entered.
They became silent.
Joshua looked at them and said " How are you doing gentlemen and gentleladies. "

Joshua extended his hand toward Petrick and said " Hello Petrick. "
" Hello to you too Joshua. " Petrick grabs his hand and gives him a Handshake.
Petrick is a fat man in his fifties. He has white hair and +2 point specs on.
Everyone takes their seats.
And then Petrick started speaking
" well, I believe that everyone here knows why we are here. So I will cut to the chase and come to the point.
Joshua here is not adequate in handling the business. His behavior shows it. So I and all of the board members decided that you Joshua should not take the C.E
O. post.
And also it would be in your favor if you hand over the news company to us too. "
Petrick says it all. He was so sure of victory such a shame.
" you know I can humor your acquisitions and reply to them and then we can talk all about it. "
"You know Petrick all of your acquisitions might be true but you made a single mistake. " Joshua stands up from his seat and said.
" oh, and what are they? Prey tell Joshua. "
Petrick asks with a smirk.
" you mistook me for a simple boy, Petrick. "
And then Petrick was going to say something but then he felt some difficulty breathing.
His breathing was fastened and he was taking long breaths.
"Ahuck..." Blood comes from Petrick's mouth.
Petrick fell from his chair. He was in pain. He looked toward Joshua.
What the saws scared him more than anything. He saw Joshua's emotionless cold face with those apathetic eyes.
He knows he made a mistake. He didn't think that Joshua would kill him in front of everyone.
He really did screw up. He saw his life flashing in front of his eyes. And then he speaks
" You know it will make you feel good. Your family which is in Huawei, celebrating the holiday is already there.
Now I can't live any loose ends you know.
Bye, sweet dreams. "
His eyes widened at the revelation.
He made a big mistake and not only he doomed himself but also his family.
And then darkness took him.
No one in the office says a single word. They were shell shocked. They didn't think Joshua had it in himself to kill someone in front of them. They now know why he grants that holiday.
They were at the mercy of him.
"Now what should I do with you all." Joshua turned to them with a smile.
Their legs gave up one by one. And they were on the floor in no second.
" please leave us, Joshua. We will not tell anyone. It was our mistake. " one of the women gathered her wits and pleaded.
" Let me think if I kill you all, the police will think that I did it and if somehow I dodged that bullet then I have to deal with a new board of directors.
Too much trouble for my taste.
So okay I will leave you guys but you guys go against me so there needs to be a punishment.
Sebastian cut off a finger from each of them.
And let me tell you guys that you all have families and I have men who will kill for me."
A/n: I don't create too much drama. Because when you have absolute power then there is no need for it.
And if you are wondering how Joshua killed the men. When he handshake with him he used his power Death's touch on him.

Child of the Ancients: An Apocalypse LitRPG
It all started in the middle of Dante's nap. He wanted to sleep his life away, but the system denied his request. Instead, it began to transform the Earth, integrating it into the multiverse by granting everyone stats and skills. He was talented, or so the system thought. And that meant he needed to be challenged. After being sent into a deadly cavern, Dante strives for the future he's always desired. But when he learns about the secrets hidden within him, he's shaken to his very core. He wishes for the nightmare to end until something goes wrong. [The world will end in one year.] Instead of everyone receiving a relatively gentle tutorial, the people of Earth are deemed redundant. Dante makes it his goal to save as many people as he can before the world ends, but with billions of lives at stake, he might have to turn into a monster before he can become a hero. Planned updates (2500+ words): M/W/F. 12pm AEST/ 9am EST. M-F during Writeathon. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Author's Note: All system apocalypse novels seem to jump straight over the apocalypse itself, which I find very sad. I don't want this to turn into a typical fantasy novel in about ten chapters. Instead, I hope to explore the destruction of society and how things would look if superpowers suddenly appeared in the real world. Before the real apocalypse happens, of course. There will be base building, and likely romance once things settle down. Also dragons, because they are awesome :)
