《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.

Tale of Family - Book 1 - WIP
The world is peaceful in 2063. Fusion reactor and Diamon battery had taken care of the energetical problem. Countries were stable. Automation was everywhere. Life wasn't hard anymore, at least not in the United States of Europe. Summer break is about to start and, finally, Zoe will turn 18 and be able to play the game, Binding Fate. A simple video game, a vrmmo, but what swam under its surface wasn't simple. Power, fame and money were but the tip of the iceberg... State: Hiatus because I've an idea for another story. Quick F.A.Q. : - Yuri/female homosexual relation? Yes.- Yaoi/male homosexual relation? Maybe.- Explicit Sexual Content? Maybe.- Full Fledged Tragedy? No. Never, ever ever.- Body Modification/Body Horror? Yes. (Note: what one person think is body horror can be acceptable for someone else. If you want to see to what length I can go, read a bit of The Other Labyrinth. However, I won't go as high as quickly in the body mod/horror, so relax.- Gore? Hell yeah! I love gore! spraying blood and viscera etc...- Torture? Hurgh... maybe? Idk. Not at the start at the very least.- Memory loss/erasing? No, or at least not permanently. I basically hate this trope because it's like taking out all the character grow from a character, destroying everything that makes them what and who they are. so no.- Overpowered protagonist? You will see mufufu...- Will characters stay relevant seeing how numerous they are? YES, MOTHERFUCKING YES, I hate when characters relevance decay over time for no good reasons ^^'- Plot Armor? First of all, a definition: "Sometimes referred to as "Script Immunity" or a "Character Shield", Plot Armor is when a main character's life and health are safeguarded by the fact that he's the one person who can't be removed from the story. Therefore, whenever Bob is in a situation where he could be killed (or at the least very seriously injured), he comes out unharmed with no logical, in-universe explanation." (courtesy of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor I love you guys ^^) So now that this is said, do my characters have plot armour? No, because I always have an in-universe explanation, even if you don't know it yet ^^ Something is illogical or don't make sense? Read more, the answer is surely in the story ^u^- Balanced system? If you want to crush numbers and have a perfect equation balancing all the system, that's not the story for you. The system is more like a living being, and the rewards aren't forcibly tied to the level of the player. In fact, the system is purposely unbalanced ^^' Author's note: My goal here is to write a slow-paced story revolving around the bonds linking the characters, be them family, friends or lovers. Fight will be part of it, but I intend to build an actual interesting world before making truly large-scale battle happen, because the bigger a battle is, the larger its causes and effects are. I also aim at telling a story about how the characters actually help each other becoming stronger, more stable and happier. I particularly despise the lone MC type that becomes so powerful that every other character of the current setting become irrelevant beside being hostage targets, so this will not happen. I also like crafting, arrays, blacksmithing etc... so there may be crafting. Another thing I like is management game like sim-city or the like, so this while also appears, keeping in mind that I like MC's that make people around them stronger... For the tropers around here, a list of tropes that I like to use (note that I may not use all of them ^^) (this list will be updated as I dive deeper and deeper into our dear trope wiki.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedGoodInACan- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAreNotAlone- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZombieAdvocate (In particular since I see a lot of things that aren't human as worthy to live and to live with)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasLovedOnes- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptTheCutie (Note: being corrupted don't mean you're a villain, only different than before.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DefectingForLove (Of course.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainousRescue- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InterspeciesAdoption (For the same reasons as zombie advocate, since I love family stuff)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird (to go with corrupt the cutie if it's a girl)Cover: "The Bard" by John Martin, 1817.

Displacement
or, Deux Navires Passant dans la Nuit If you wake up in a new world, with only your memories of home to guide you, you have to trust the first people you meet. The first people Leah meets seem to know her - but not her. Leah is thrust into a fighter's role that does not quite suit her, and those who 'rescued' her do their best to help her fit in. They hint at a world that Leah can only vaguely understand without serious research and exploration, but how to do that research, when everyone believes her to be a local of this place, and too many questions might draw unwanted attention? And what about home? The more Leah learns about this world, the less she believes that she woke up on the right side of the bed - or more accurately, on the right side of the conflict. With magic being strictly regulated in her current "home," maybe it's time to uproot and look for a new set of allies... -- Displacement is a queer / lgbt bodyswap isekai: Leah Armande falls out of a Quebecois city into an unfamiliar fantasy world, and Leah Talesh falls out of her adventuring party's homeland and into an unfamiliar industrial world. The story follows both women as they navigate their new surroundings, trying at times to find a way home, at times just to pass for a local, and at times to actually make a life for themselves in their new world. Expect in-depth politics and worldbuilding, sapphic moments, foibles, and far too much time spent either in libraries or convalescing (or sometimes both).
