Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

"Have you heard that Daisy cleaned up Seabreeze Terrace?" Fiona abruptly changed the subject.

"Yes!"

"That place is nice. Since it's cleaned up, leaving it vacant would be a waste!"

Fiona squinted her eyes.

"Do you have any good ideas? Let's hear them!"

"I think... maybe we could develop a subordinate force to place there. This subordinate force wouldn't require our direct management or provision of resources; they would fend for themselves. They might even contribute by providing us with necessary supplies! And we would only need to control the mid to high-level management personnel and elite combatants."

Upon hearing Fiona's words, Elijah's first thought went to Quentin. "Are you suggesting we bring Quentin and his group under our control?"

"Anyone will do, including Quentin and his group, as long as they are obedient!"

"Well, I have a way..." Elijah nodded.

"What way?"

Elijah hesitated for a moment, then decided to disclose his hypnotic ability.

Fiona was too perceptive and intelligent.

Even if he didn't say it, if Quentin and his group were truly subdued, she would remain wary of them.

Over time, if Quentin and his group were too obedient, she might become suspicious. It was better to let her know now.

With her intelligence, it would benefit future planning and development.

"In fact, my ability isn't entirely uncontrollable by humans; I can..." Elijah briefly explained his subconscious hypnotic ability.

Fiona had initially thought they would control Quentin's group through an awakening potion.

She hadn't expected Elijah to possess such a hidden and unknown ability.

She wasn't angry; the more she listened, the brighter her eyes became, and numerous ideas flashed through her mind.

"Subconscious hypnotism combined with awakening potions, a double insurance, enough to firmly control a group of people... Even the limited sale of second-tier potions in the future..."

Fiona quickly came to a point with Elijah. "Unfortunately, this plan can't be implemented now. We'll have to wait until your third-tier contract quota increases again."

"You hit the nail on the head!" Elijah sighed. Fiona not only quickly identified the limitations of his current abilities but even guessed his thoughts about controlling buyers when selling second-tier potions.

"Well, when Quentin and his group come to trade next time, I'll test it out!" Elijah nodded.

After discussing business, Fiona's expression suddenly became ambiguous.

"I wonder why I so easily surrendered to you. Tell me, did you secretly suggest something to me?"

"Absolutely not!" Elijah shook his head. "

I just ensured that you all maintain goodwill and loyalty towards me, and don't act against our collective interests."

"Hmph! I'll trust you for now!"

Fiona didn't delve deeper. It was useless to investigate such matters.

Could she even get rid of him? And there was no need to.

In this brutal apocalypse, this place was already like heaven.

Elijah let out a long breath, checking the time; it was already midnight.

"It's late! Katherine said she'd wait for me to come back... I wonder if she's still waiting?"

Elijah used the Seed of Consciousness to sense Katherine's location and found her indeed in his room.

"Huh? Wait, why is Grace there too?"

After finishing her evening training, Grace returned to her room and enjoyed a relaxing bath.

Once she finished getting ready, she hesitated again, thinking about her earlier decision.

"Do I really want to take the initiative...?" she pondered.

However, the thought of even the newcomer awakening her abilities while she remained ordinary finally strengthened her resolve.

Grace found herself resolved to go ahead.

Later, Grace rummaged through her wardrobe and found a skimpy nightgown she had secretly acquired earlier that day.

As she changed into it, a woman with a shapely figure, barely clothed yet exuding immense allure, stared back at her from the mirror.

Grace blushed slightly, feeling her attire was a bit too provocative.

Nevertheless, she didn't change and quietly slipped out of her room.

Inside the villa, everyone else was already resting, and it was quiet.

Grace cautiously left her villa and entered Elijah's villa.

She knew the layout of Elijah's room very well and had even visited during the day when the door was unlocked.

There were no unexpected encounters along the way, and she smoothly made her way into Elijah's room.

Finding it empty, she felt a mixture of relief and curiosity.

"Where could Elijah be? Has he gone to someone else's room? Did I wait here for nothing?"

Anxiously, she sat on the edge of the bed, uncertain whether to stay or leave.

After what seemed like an eternity, she suddenly heard faint footsteps outside.

Someone stopped at Elijah's door.

Grace nervously stared at the door.

The door was gently pushed open, just like when she entered, without making any noise.

Then, a graceful figure in a nightgown cautiously stepped in.

Grace was stunned when she recognized the familiar figure.

"How did you get here?" she couldn't help but blurt out.

Katherine, who had just closed the door, jumped at the sound, then upon seeing Grace, also let out an exclamation.

"What are you doing here?"

The two stared at each other wide-eyed, momentarily frozen in place.

Meanwhile, Elijah, in his room, couldn't comprehend why both Katherine and Grace were in his room.

Katherine's presence he could understand, given their previous hints, but Grace... Did Katherine bring her along?

This must be a surprise for me!

Elijah couldn't contain his excitement at the thought.

"It's getting late, I... I should go back!" he abruptly announced, planting a quick kiss on Fiona's cheek before scratching his head apologetically.

Fiona wrinkled her nose, slightly displeased, but seeing Elijah's apologetic expression, she soon understood.

"Hmm, Daisy hasn't been back for two days. You should go and spend time with her! Go on, go on!"

If she hadn't hinted, he probably wouldn't have come to her room tonight.

Fiona huffed internally.

"Tomorrow... Tomorrow night, I'll come to find you again!"

Elijah hugged Fiona, gave her another affectionate kiss, then reluctantly dressed himself, feigning reluctance.

Hmm! Sometimes it's nice when women are perceptive!

Elijah secretly rejoiced. He hadn't even thought of an excuse, but Fiona had found one for him.

He did want to go find Daisy, but Daisy was with Charlotte, having a late-night conversation by candlelight.

He figured he'd likely get kicked out if he went there.

So, why not go find Katherine and Grace instead? They were both in his room!

Once out of Fiona's room, Elijah immediately activated his ability to meld into the shadows, eager to return to his bedroom.

Meanwhile, in Elijah's bedroom, Grace and Katherine were still staring at each other, both understanding why the other had appeared here.

Especially seeing what they were both wearing—extremely sensual nightgowns. Even a fool could guess.
