Champion Of Lust: Gods Conquer's Harem Paradise!

As they advanced, Petne's mind was focused on the next phase of his plan. While the destruction of Sly Mines would have been satisfying, it wasn't the right move—not yet. Pyris's long-term goal was to control Sly Mines and use its existing ties to target Dragon Mines.

To do that, he needed to control key assets, make strategic moves, and remain in the shadows.

The proxies and investors behind Sly Mines still held significant power, and Dragomir wasn't a man easily broken. This would take precision.

In the grand hall of the estate, Dragomir Skalethorn sat surrounded by his advisors, blissfully unaware of the dark presence approaching. He was a massive figure, exuding confidence and power, his influence stretching throughout the Dragon Empire.

He had been warned that Sly Mines was under attack—financially and operationally—but Dragomir believed he had the strength and resources to weather the storm.

After all, he was a key figure in the Dragon Imperial Family's support of Sly Mines.

That confidence quickly vanished as Petne Chaos appeared from the shadows, his dark cloak concealing his identity. The air around him shifted as his void energy permeated the room, creating an eerie silence.

Dragomir's eyes widened in shock as he turned to face the mysterious intruder. "Who are you?" he demanded, his voice deep and commanding. "How did you get past my guards?"

Petne Chaos said nothing at first, his cold, calculating gaze locking onto Dragomir's. He took a slow step forward, his presence almost supernatural in its intensity.

"Who I am is irrelevant," Petne finally spoke, his voice low and ominous. "What matters is that you've overstayed your welcome in the world of business, Dragomir. Sly Mines is crumbling, and soon, so will your control over it."

Dragomir stood, towering over Petne as his advisors backed away in fear. "You think you can come here and threaten me?" he growled. "I am Dragomir Skalethorn of the Dragon Empire. Sly Mines is mine."

Petne's lips curled into a slight smirk beneath his hood. "Not for long."

Without warning, Dragomir lashed out, his fiery dragon element flaring to life as he launched a brutal attack. Flames erupted from his hands, engulfing the room in a wave of heat. But Petne was already moving, his body slipping into the shadows with ease.

The flames passed through the space where he had been standing, leaving nothing but scorched marble in their wake.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I control this domain, intruder!" Dragomir bellowed, summoning more flames that coiled like serpents around his arms.

But Petne was faster, using his void powers to warp through the room, appearing and disappearing in rapid succession. Dragomir's attacks were powerful, but they couldn't touch him. Every strike missed its mark as Petne danced through the darkness, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

"Your strength is impressive," Petne said coolly, his voice echoing in the hall. "But strength alone won't save you."

With a sudden burst of speed, Petne closed the distance between them, his hand surging with dark energy as he struck Dragomir in the chest. The impact sent Dragomir staggering back, but it wasn't enough to take him down.

The dragon lord growled in fury, flames erupting from his body in an uncontrolled rage.

Just as Dragomir prepared to unleash another deadly attack, Song stepped from the shadows, his presence barely noticeable until now. With a wave of his hand, the air around Dragomir distorted, as if the very fabric of reality was bending under Song's command.

The void energy swirled around Dragomir, weakening his flames and disrupting his attacks. His eyes widened as he realized he was no longer in control of the battle.

"You... who are you?" Dragomir demanded, his voice trembling with fury and confusion. "How can you do this?"

Petne Chaos stepped forward, his expression unreadable. "This is just a taste of what's to come, Dragomir. Your empire is crumbling, and there's nothing you can do to stop it."

Dragomir, now fully aware of the threat he faced, realized he was outmatched. He needed to escape before things turned fatal. With a quick burst of flame, he created a smokescreen, the fire blinding both Petne and Song for just a moment. It was all the time he needed.

In an instant, Dragomir vanished from the hall, escaping into the night.

Petne watched as the flames dissipated, his expression calm. He hadn't come to kill Dragomir—not yet. His mission was to weaken Sly Mines, to destabilize their hold without tipping his hand too early.

"That went as planned," Song said, stepping forward, his voice quiet as always.

Petne nodded. "Let him run. He'll return to his proxies, and we'll use that to our advantage."

By the time dawn arrived, Petne Chaos and Song had vanished, leaving no trace of their presence. Dragomir, shaken but alive, had retreated to regroup. But the damage had already been done.

Pyris Obsidian, now back in his true identity, sat in his office reviewing the latest developments. With Petne Chaos's help, they had destabilized Sly Mines, weakening their control without completely destroying it. But that wasn't the end of the plan.

Pyris's aim wasn't to bring Sly Mines to ruin, but to use it.

Sly Mines had deep connections with the Dragon Empire, and Pyris intended to exploit that. By weakening Sly Mines just enough, he had positioned himself to start buying more shares in the company. By slowly gaining control, he would be able to use Sly Mines as a tool to go after Dragon Mines, the true target.

His ultimate goal was to acquire 30% of Dragon Mines' shares, paying back the Dragon Imperial Family for their betrayal. But first, he had to deal with Silas, who still posed a significant threat to House Obsidian.

As Pyris leaned back in his chair, the pieces of his plan falling into place, his phone buzzed. It was a notification that another block of shares in Sly Mines had been acquired under an alias he controlled.

Good.

They were making progress.

But this was only the beginning. The battle against Silas was far from over, and the war with the Dragon Empire was just starting. With Petne Chaos working in the shadows and Alexa by his side, Pyris knew that House Obsidian would emerge victorious.

He would see to it personally.

____

The confrontation with Dragomir had gone according to plan. Though the dragon lord had escaped, Petne Chaos had succeeded in weakening him, forcing him to retreat to his proxies. Now, it was time to use Sly Mines against the very empire that had backed it.

Pyris Obsidian wasn't playing to destroy his enemies.

He was playing to own them.

And soon, the Dragon Mines would be next.
