Chapter 431: Heroine Chapter: The final victor. [2/2]
For me, only Liv was the only one really open to the idea of Shujin having a harem.
That was why we all listened to her. Because she was the sole Siren who accepted the current situation. And everyone didn't want to betray her.
However, the rest of us were constantly on edge. I was sure that if one of us betrayed Shujin, the others would kill her without question.
Despite our seeming acceptance of his harem, we were all waiting for him to lose interest in everyone else. And the moment he did, a bloodbath would ensue.
Keeping powerful opponents around was ill-advised after all. The only silver lining was that no one would act to kill the other first. I knew that. We all did. That whoever did so would earn Shujin's hate and lose his love.
On more than one occasion, I noticed the hostile looks they gave me while I was preparing food. Granted, I had already done something to both Shujin and his adoptive family. However, it wasn't just them that was careful, I would kill anyone who endangered the Simmons.
Of course, when Jas stared in a certain direction or when Bella hijacked some computers, it was not just me. The six of us all looked at each other with cold, murderous gazes.
'It was like Gu poison. The Sirens were not only on guard from the outside, but also from the inside. Like scorpions and snakes in a jar, the Sirens and I would devour each other until only one was left. '
Suddenly, the sound of a ringing phone broke me out of my trance. It was Lilly-sama's GRI. After answering it, she put it on the loudspeaker for everyone to hear.
[Good evening my lady, I have acquired the property as instructed. I deployed Tildi under the guise that the department heads of Hellsend were having a party.]
"Well done. You prevented them from reaching Harry Evans, correct?"

[Yes. They will arrive at the venue later tonight, unaware that the Rustler's Rooste is now ours].
"Excellent, proceed as planned. We owe it to Dearest to give him a most memorable reunion."
[My Lady, I again advise you not to do more than this. While he cherishes you, his personality would not wish Caroline Fisher to be harmed].
"Silence, Scrivener. Do not lecture me. If I want your opinion, I will ask for it!" Lilly snarled in anger.
[I apologize if I have offended you. I have spoken with the saints and Inari's kitchen. They will be ready by tonight. Enjoy your party.]
Today was July 30, 2023. Tonight was the reunion of Shujin's high school class. As with everything related to our man, the Sirens already investigated it. The organizer was Harry Evans.
Evans-san was stressed by his inability to gain recognition in his father's company. Due to his incompetence, he remained a failure despite the many opportunities he was given. His father, who originally had high hopes for him, slowly lost interest.
Since he had two younger brothers who were superior to him, he was afraid of being left with nothing. So, like any bully, he tried to make himself feel better by preying on those he considered his inferiors, in this case his high school classmates.
Evans-san organized the event to make himself feel better. This was the clear intention as he bought top of the line watches, cell phones, and a new car to show off at the event.
Unable to cope with the stress, he naturally turned to the bottle. More than once, in a drunken rage, he beat up prostitutes and Caroline Fisher like the scum he was.
At this point, he must have asked himself what he was doing wrong? Nothing was going his way and it was as if the world was ganging up on him.
'Most of the time such thoughts were paranoia. But in this case, it wasn't. '
"Haha! I would love to see his expression tonight! His face when he smashed his phone was priceless!" Bella chirped happily.
Liv asked as she struggled to zip up her dress. "How many times has he done that now? He needs to get his temper under control. He almost killed a whore in a rage because Bella stole his money, right? Was he always this foolish?"
"Liv, you're one to talk! You almost killed him when you made that tree crush his car! And Jo, the prostitute thing was you, right?" Jasmine asked.
"Hehehe! Giving him death resonance suggestions is my new favorite pastime! I suggested that the prostitute was hired to kill him! He helps me test my reach and control! Besides, Jas, didn't you shoot out the tires of his car a day ago?"
"Fuck me dead! Is that why the cunt's car suddenly crashed?! I wanted to throw him down the stairs! No wonder he's jumpy all the time! He hardly leaves his house anymore!"
"Fufu, how could he? He thinks his brothers are out to kill him. Didn't Aki poison his drink two days ago? Also, my spy told me that his sex life with Caroline is pretty much over because she keeps defecating on the bed," Lilly-sama added.
In an unexpected truce, the Sirens all agreed that Harry Evans could not be killed. But we also agreed that as long as he was alive, anything was fair game.
So Bella started messing up his investments and sabotaging his reputation online.
Jas, Liv and Robyn caused all kinds of accidents to happen to him.
I poisoned him twice. Once when I spiked his drink and the other when I put a poisoned blade on his shoes.
Jo moved away from commands and began using death resonance to make suggestions instead. She slowly hypnotized Harry into believing that his family wanted him dead.
The difference was that suggestions cost a quarter of the soul cost of commands. And if you could predict how your target would act. The results were essentially the same.
'Although in my opinion the paranoia and terror is way worse.'
Lilly-sama, on the other hand, began to financially strangle the Evans Group Inc. to death. Of course, she cleverly used Harry as a scapegoat for all the bad things that were happening.
Bella easily created scandals and fake lawsuits around Harry's bad behavior. These caused the company's stock to plummet.
Lilly-sama would then buy them out for pennies on the dollar, only to shut them down without explanation.
The woman also planted a spy in Caroline's circle of friends. The spy kept us informed about the slowly crumbling relationship between Harry and Caroline.
When all these things happened to him within a week, it was enough to drive anyone crazy. The narrative we created slowly drained Harry Evans of finances, stamina, and mental stability.
It was the only thing the Sirens enjoyed more than flirting with Shujin. Terrorizing Harry Evans into madness. It would culminate in the reunion later.
By this time tomorrow, the bastard who hurt Shujin would have either killed himself or gone completely insane. Together, the Sirens were probably better, even if it only showed up in such rare cases.
While we were getting ready, Liv suddenly came over and put her hand on my head. Because of our height difference, I could pass for her daughter. You would think that being too tall like her or too short like Robyn would ensure their defeat. If only that was the case.
"Aki, you've been really quiet. Are you okay?"
'Oh my, as always this woman was nosy but lovable. She truly acted in everyone's best interest. But would such kindness protect her? '
"I wonder if it is you who will emerge as the final victor?" I muttered under my breath.
"Aki?"
"Ah, sorry Liv, it's nothing. I am fine. Do you need some help with your dress?"
"Ah, I think? This dress is too tight on my chest, I can hardly breathe."
"..."
Looking at the gigantic breasts of the Northerner, I really wondered what the future held. Would we all stand together, or would only one of us remain after devouring the others? Only time would tell.
