Villain: I transmigrated with Mind Control Powers

Chapter 43: Chapter 43 : The Patriarch Summons



As Sylvia walked away, leaving a devastated Jarod in her wake, Aric relished the sight. The young hero stood there, heartbroken and defeated, while Aric's sense of triumph grew with every passing second. Satisfied with the outcome, Aric turned on his heel and made his way back to his villa.

Once inside his lavish residence, Aric allowed himself a moment of relaxation. He sank into a plush armchair, savoring the taste of his victory. With a deep breath, he called upon the system to check the rewards he had earned from the day's events.

"Sylvia's luck can still be good. But I need more protagonists if I want to be invincible."

"Right now, let's focus on the Lei Family."

"It's time for me to take over the whole family."

Aric laughed, a sinister gleam in his eyes. "It's funny that I was living a normal life once, and now I am becoming so powerful. I will make everyone corrupt. I will take care of their daughters and wives. Hahahahaha."

Later that day....

Aric had just finished a grueling training session when a messenger arrived, informing him of the patriarch's urgent request for a meeting. He straightened his robes, wiped the sweat from his brow, and made his way to the grand meeting hall.

The hall was as imposing as ever, with its jade pillars and celestial murals. As he entered, he noticed the air was thick with anticipation. Edmond Lei, the patriarch, sat at the head of the long, darkwood table, his expression serious.

"Aric," Edmond began, his voice resonating through the hall, "I have summoned you here because a matter of great importance has arisen."

Aric nodded respectfully. "What is it, Patriarch?"

Edmond leaned forward, his eyes piercing. "A secret ruin has been discovered, one that holds immense power and resources. These ruins are said to be remnants of an ancient civilization, filled with treasures and artifacts that can significantly strengthen our family."

Aric's interest was piqued. "And our competitors?"

"The other top families are sending their best talents to gather as many items as they can. It is crucial that we do the same. As the Holy Son, you must take the lead in this endeavor," Edmond declared.

Aric felt the weight of responsibility settle on his shoulders. "I understand, Patriarch. I will prepare immediately."

Edmond nodded, satisfied with Aric's response. "You will not go alone. I have arranged for a team to accompany you. You can also choose your own people to accompany you. Choose wisely and ensure our family emerges victorious."

"Also, there will be dangers. Try to come home safely. And if you gets attacked try to ensure the safety of everyone."

"Yes, Patriarch"

In the dimly lit study of Aric's villa, the air was thick with anticipation. Aric stood by the window, looking out at the sprawling estate, while Alicia prepared the drinks on a nearby table. The room was silent except for the faint clinking of glass and the soft rustle of Alicia's movements.

"Alicia," Aric said, breaking the silence, "are the preparations complete?"

"Yes Young master. As per your instructions, I have prepared drinks and mixed your blood in it"

Aric called for an emergency meeting, and as the Holy Son, every important member of the Lei family gathered, excluding Jarod.

As the members of the Lei family gathered, whispers filled the grand hall. The air was thick with curiosity and unease. The hall was adorned with ornate decorations, lit by magnificent chandeliers that cast a golden glow over the assembled family members.

"Why has Aric called this sudden meeting?" Elder Lei Feng whispered to Elder Lei Shan , his brow furrowed in concern.

"I don't know, but it must be important. Aric has never called a meeting like this before," Elder Lei Shan replied, adjusting his robes.

The patriarch, Edmond Lei, entered the room with a dignified presence, his eyes scanning the room for Aric. "Everyone, take your seats. Let's hear what our Holy Son has to say," he commanded, his voice calm but authoritative.

Aric stood at the head of the table, his expression confident and unreadable. He watched as Alicia, his trusted confidante, distributed the drinks, ensuring everyone received a glass.

"First of all, since I have become the Holy Son, I want to thank you all and ask for your future support," Aric began, raising his glass. "Please have a congratulatory drink before we proceed further."

Soon, the servants brought special drinks curated by Aric.

The family members, including Elders Lei Shan , Lei Hua, Lei Ming, and Lei Fang, as well as the patriarch, raised their glasses in unison. "To the Holy Son!" they toasted, clinking their glasses together before drinking deeply.

As soon as they drank the liquor, Aric started receiving system's notifications.

[Ding! A new target detected. Initiating mind control sequence. Do you wish to proceed?]

[Ding! A new target detected. Initiating mind control sequence. Do you wish to proceed?]

[Ding! A new target detected. Initiating mind control sequence. Do you wish to proceed?]

Since, Aric was the sole focus of this meeting he decided to wait to alter their memory.

"Recently, we all know that a new secret ruin has been discovered. And since I will be taking a team, that's why I have gathered this meeting to choose the best of the best who will accompany me in this journey."
