While the scheming mother and daughter were in a discussion of how to proceed with their scheme to seal the marriage, the innocent lamb at the Ravens Island is thinking about something else.
"Dad advised transferring Scarlet HQ to Leafway city but if I do that, it'll just become another Yarlford. No, I won't follow Dad's footsteps. Let's leave it at Ares.
On the other hand, Scarlet Gaming Corp is my baby. Its HQ must be in Leafway city. After the building is finished, I need to gather the best gamers of all the branches in Leafway city.
Security will increase if there are more companies there. After taking over Heibei's Corporation, I need to shift its HQ to Leafway city too.
Hmm, I need to buy a couple of companies but the issue is money. I need to check how much cash dad left for me at Federation Bank before I claim everything else.
After all, even if I sell the properties, according to the will, the money will be sent to his IC Bank in the end. I don't get a single penny from it."
Wil grabbed his head as he lies on the sofa and mumble, "Marriage and heir as one of the conditions… Sigh… Dad, do you have to be this ruthless?"
***
Two days later, this time at Yarlford city, one by one, the leaders of the various Mafia gang started to arrive one by one with their guards.
Ravens Mansion, Yarlford City;
As they took their seats while Antolov Dexter and Wil sat on the opposite sides on the edge of the long table, the latter spoke as he tapped the table twice to gather attention, "by now, some of you might have already heard of the rumors but let me confirm it for you.
After this meeting, Vulture will be dissolved officially and so, the position of the next Mafia Lord will become vacant.
As a few of them turned their heads toward Dexter, who was smiling big, the leader of the Scorpion gang asked, "Why do you want to dissolve it? You are the sole successor of Lord Philip. If you take over the position, I'm sure most of us here will support you."
"yes" "Yes, of course. Why not" "yes…"
10 out of the remaining 18 nodded in agreement while Dexter's face suddenly turned dark.
Wil ignored him and continued, "According to my dad's will, we are selling all the properties and leave the western continent forever."
They were indeed taken aback in a surprise upon hearing him while Dexter's face once again glowed.
One of them asked, "That means… all of your casinos will be auctioned?"
Wil nodded, "yes, along with others. Two weeks later, those who are interested in the auction can come here. In the meantime, if you are interested to buy any of them, they can contact us privately and pay twice the amount of its market value to claim it before the auction."
As they started murmuring with each other, the seventy-year-old man tapped the table this time and everyone turned their heads towards him in silence.
"Why bother. I'll pay twice on the spot. Just sell everything to me," said Dexter with an arrogant tone.
While Silver frowned, Wil calmly stood up, "Based on our estimations, the entire properties are valued around 100 Billion dollars. If you can pay 200 Billion Dollars on the spot, then I'll happily sell them to you."
Looking straight into the eyes, as Wil asked the old man, the latter's expression once again turned dark and stayed silent.
"So, two weeks later, we'll meet again for one last time before cutting ties with the world of mafia. Meanwhile, you can go ahead and pick the new Mafia Lord."

*Welcome to War Online*
After deciding to stay at home for a while, Wil once again ordered the guards to bring an S-grade capsule and logged in to find himself in the lobby of Battle Arena.
Pending notifications of messages from friends continued to ring in his ears.
Ignoring the rest of the congratulatory messages, Wil only replied thanks to Snow Dew and Hyori's, who are offline at the moment.
Just then, a message from Aster was sent.
Shadow Blade: Young master, you are finally online. Our new district's construction is finished. Thousands of players are flocking to the town, especially new players.
Time Traveler: That's a good thing. I'm sending you 1000 gold for hiring and management. By the way, what about the situation in East Ocean city?
Shadow Blade: In the past three days, no suspicious movements were detected. It's as if they were compromised and decide not to trouble us anymore. It might be because of Young master's performance from finals. Or maybe, Dreamwalkers decided not to meddle in East Ocean city's business.
Time Traveler: Send them an invitation through the branch manager. I want to meet Dreamwalkers' guild leader at our Mansion. If he refuses for any reason, then, send the same to Starlight guild.
Shadow Blade: Understand Young master. By the way, can I ask what pet you got from the rewards?
"First, Snow Dew. Now, Aster. Looks like everyone is curious about the pet."
Time Traveler: a fox.
"Eh? Not a dragon?"
***
With the help of King's medallion, Wil used teleportation skills and appeared in level-200 dungeon cave as it's a place he went once.
"Summon, Felix"
A cute silver bluish baby fox appeared before him.
*wow-wow*
Looking at his parent and master, it barked while wiggling its tail as a greeting and then, jumped on to his shoulder before licking his cheek with its tiny tongue.
Feeling its emotions with their connection, Wil smiled, "are you ready, Felix?"
*wow*
As it barked again, Wil take a step towards the portal and entered the dungeon after selecting legendary level difficulty.
*Ding. You discovered the Tower of Mariuk. Exp gain and drop rate increased by 100%
"Tower of Mariuk, huh. It's been a long time since I did this dungeon. Last time, it was a hundred player team but now, it's just a one-man team."
Just like its name, the Tower of Mariuk is a dungeon inside a 7-floor tower with the strength of monsters increase as one proceeds to the next floor.
The floor 0 that Wil ended up is called the resting floor as there's nothing except for the plain ground.
Without wasting much time, Wil quickly summoned the fallen angels Kallius and Dromeus, and his earth golem.
Sitting on Golem's shoulders, Wil looked at the stairs ahead and spoke, "let's go."
Reaching the floor 1, Wil saw it was packed with dozens of earth golems except that they are tiny, around half of the size of Wil with a single rock as their body where they have eyes on it and there are tiny hands and short legs that are made up of rocks.
Rocky golem
Grade: Common
Level: 200
Hp: 520k
For average adventures, as long as they have numbers and good equipment, 500k health isn't actually a big deal, still, no one takes them lightly because they possess one skill that's very dangerous.
It's self exploding.
They explode once they died. If they were attacked and not killed in 30 seconds, they'll also explode. Even if they land an attack on a player, that mere touch will also trigger the self explosion.
The problem isn't the damage as it's just five times their attack. That's only a 100K, which is no big deal even for an average adventurer.
But, it's the chain reaction that might worry everyone.
Since they were too many of them and I'm alone, once even one died, the rest of them will lock on to players and started to run towards them in a frenzy with an intention to attack and explode.
That's why, without proper planning, one never challenges this dungeon.
But, Wil didn't even glance at those things and spoke indifferently, "Kallius, Golem; Kill everyone. Dromeus, heal the two of them."
*Boom*Boom*Boom*
Continuous explosions occurred as the Golem and Kallius duo are only focusing on killing them without caring about dodging the explosions while Dromeus is healing them.
*Ding. Felix reached level-50. It's entering the first metamorphosis.
Wil started to pay attention to the little creature on Golem's head as it is glowing like a bulb while the Golem and the fallen angel continuing their massacre.
A few seconds later, the glowing stopped and revealed the little fox, which grew up a little bit. Not much changed in its height except for gaining a new skill and a second tail.
*wow*wow* the fox barked as it continued to rest on Golem's head.
Looking at it, Wil mumbled, "by the time, the dungeon finished, I wonder whether it can reach level-150. Hmm, anyway, let's see the new skill.
Eh?"
Size Manipulation: Felix can change its size from one-tenth of its original size to ten times big based upon the situation. The bigger the size, the stronger is the effect of intimidation on lower grade monsters. The smaller the size, the stronger is the effect of ignorance on lower grade monsters.
"Sigh… It's good that it can make it's opponent ignore its presence and get ambushed at the right time but it's useless to me, right now. Let's hope it would get either an attack or support skill after level-100."
Soon, as the floor was cleared, Wil leveled up once more with ease and they continued to the 2nd floor.
Just like the first floor, the second floor is also full of dozens of golems except that each of them is slightly bigger than Wil and their bodies are covered by flames.
Unlike the tiny golems on the first floor, they didn't even give time for Wil to think of a strategy. More than 30 golems that are walking here and there in peace, suddenly rushed towards this one-man party after sensing intruders.
