I Became a Tentacle Monster Blooming in the Academy Garden 279

## Chapter 279 – Counterattack (30)

“Vivian, you seem to be in a good mood?”

“Something like that.”

Even though a spine-chilling spectacle had unfolded, surprisingly, the next scene was just Lanié asking Vivian, who had woken up with a refreshed expression, a question.

It was just like last night when they were returning to the hideout and quietly found Anne sobbing.

Vivian, feeling a thrill as she quietly watched her sad back, not knowing what was wrong, had been wearing a refreshed smile since morning, as if something old and stuffy in her stomach had gone down.

‘To have that expression already, she’ll be even more excited later, won’t she?’

Lanié, seeing Vivian’s suddenly returned bright smile after she had been agonizing over the brothel and the cartel’s territory expansion war for the past few days, was only filled with curiosity.

But even that curiosity was soon diluted because of the things she had to do.

Didn’t they say that they would talk to Jebi again today and settle the discussion?

“Then… shall I prepare to go out in advance today?”

“Yes. Tell Aurora and Henia too.
When the time at the academy is over, we’ll head straight to the brothel.”

Vivian had received Jebi’s request and heard that he wanted to see the available combat power.

She had guessed his intentions from his request to see it and then proceed with the discussion, but she had decided that there would be no danger.

Rather, if she brought all 50 or so of Henia, who could be considered the entire force of the hideout, it would become a force that could take down any ordinary guys who dared to attack.

Vivian, who had been building trust to some extent until now, but also kept in mind the situation where Jebi might stab her in the back, told them to move as she had told them in advance, with a light heart.

“Today… a decision might be made…”

Vivian’s eyes narrowed slightly, and countless calculations were going back and forth in her blue eyes.

.
.
.

Since Vivian had learned everything she needed to learn as a first-year student, the academy had no real meaning for her right now.

It was just a matter of practicing swordsmanship a little more, but there was no one to spar with among the other students, so all she did was play around with Lanié (reading it as a bloody fight).

So, she was doing some practice and skipping classes as long as she didn’t get caught, and when the class was finally over and it was time to go home, she was finally able to go to their battlefield.

Three young female students in academy uniforms walked out of the academy’s large gate, wandering through the maze-like back alleys.

How long had they been walking forward like that?

“Has everyone arrived?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. You told us to reduce attention.
The Floras sales team left first?
The rest are us.”

Next to them, who were walking side by side with Lanié, a dozen figures wearing cloaks and standing in a dark alley with poor lighting began to walk together.

To Vivian’s question, which she asked naturally without stopping, one of them turned her head slightly and reported to her.

“We will follow you.”

“Okay. Shall we go?”

After a while, they, who had been walking in a line side by side as if they were marching, were finally able to reach the end of the alley.

Women walking out of the dark alley and elegantly walking out into the bright outside.

Where had the gloomy cloaks from before gone? They were all wearing gorgeous and unique elegant outfits, walking around the streets like models.

From refreshing dresses to luxurious party dresses.

And from tight leather pants that showed off their firm bodies to extreme hot pants that were hard to even say covered their butts.

Equipped with outfits made of Nemea that revealed the sexiness of the female body without exaggeration.

Their appearance, as if they were turning the streets into a runway, drew the attention of many men.

“Oh…”

“Gulp… What day is it today…?”

“It’s Floras…!!
Those are the Henias!!”

Among them, someone recognized a woman who was particularly eye-catching, exuding a blue light like the color of the sky, and shouted, and their expressions, enjoying unexpected popularity, were smiling proudly.

Which beastkin female in the world would receive this much attention from humans?

Beastkins, who were at least treated well if they picked up scraps that had fallen on the floor as slaves.

They were enjoying their appearance as the main characters of today, and they were building up even more gratitude towards the person who had made them like this.

“Ooh-hoo-hoot… Mwah…!!”

“Eeu-heueung~ Aahng~!!”

They were sending out services such as sending sexy finger kisses to the men around them or laughing with seductive gestures, and the men passing by had to bend their backs slightly forward.

The number of people who had gathered to see them after hearing the news was enough to fill the wide street where many people could pass by.

Surrounded by such a crowd, they, who were walking in an orderly line along the street, arrived at the place.

That place was their precious workplace, the Floras brothel.

“The madam has arrived. Let them know inside.”

“Yes, sir!!”

Of course, half of the total number of people had already entered Floras and were preparing to work, but there was a good reason why Vivian brought the other half like this.

A dazzling appearance that would captivate people’s eyes.

Especially for women, there could be no more powerful weapon than this.

Moreover, the alluring women who hide sharp claws, deadly fangs, and blue blades are the deadly Venus flytraps that attract prey.

As Vivian, who was showing it in person, passed the people who were regretting it and entered the brothel, the lobby, which had become a little more splendid through investment, welcomed her.

And in the middle of the lobby, with his hands behind his back, a man with a giggling smile as always, Jebi, was greeting them with his squinting eyes, which made it doubtful whether he could see the front.

“Have you arrived?”

“As you can see?”

“Hmm… I always think about it…
Those girls fight as well as beastkin warriors.
No matter how many times I think about it, it’s amazing.”

“More than that. Our kids are something else.”

Vivian, leading the Henias with confident expressions, was also shrugging her shoulders.

Jebi, who was looking at her, was slightly snorting.

Vivian had to try to control her expression at his praise, which made her shake her head and put strength into her shoulders for no reason.

“I should have been a slave trader.
If I had the ability to fill it with only such good items.
My eyes might have been wrong in this regard.”

“I’ll take it as a compliment.”

Towards Vivian, who received his words in a good mood, Jebi erased the smile on his face and began to open his mouth.

“Then, shall we get down to the main point?
Today, we will implement it immediately.”

“Oh… today…? What…
Wait… could it be…?”

“I’ve seen enough of your abilities since you robbed the other cartels.
So there’s no need to waste time.
Here are the business places of Mademoiselle and Laratina, including the list of hideouts where she hid her assets by dividing them.
Please check it out.”

Vivian snatched the bundle of parchment that Jebi handed over and unfolded it.

Looking at the addresses and special notes written densely on each piece of parchment, she was unknowingly shaking her head.

As if she had been investigating Laratina’s actions from the distant past.

Vast and detailed information that knew almost everything that could not be known through investigation, comparable to Enic.

How did Jebi know this?

‘How… this kind of thing…
Even he doesn’t know these things yet…

“In name and reality, this is everything to her.
As you can see, the number of managers and guards are also written down.
Blow up the business, destroy the building, and eliminate the subordinates.
And then… there will be only one thing left.”

While Vivian was looking around the parchment and couldn’t help but admire it, Jebi finally smiled again and raised his hand in front of his face.

And as he continued to speak and sequentially unfolded three fingers, Vivian’s murmur, which spoke his last words instead, was quietly scattering into the air.

“Laratina…”

“Oho~ That’s right.
You understand quickly.
It’s about destroying Laratina.”

Towards Jebi, who was clapping his hands, Vivian sent a firm gaze.

Destruction, the feeling was very ominous.

But even at Vivian’s questioning question, Jebi simply shrugged his shoulders and was simply explaining the reason.

“Are you going to smash everything?
Isn’t that a waste?”

“Well, if we absorb all of her forces…
It would be possible to become one of the top cartels at once.
But this is the safest way.
It’s better to minimize the risk.”

His words were literally ‘safe bet’.

“To smash everything.
To prevent Laratina from regaining her base…
To make sure she never gets back on her feet again.”

If you only think about combat power, Vivian currently had more power than ordinary cartels.

The only ones who could oppose her were the large cartels, but they were just gangs that were very large.

Why is the Parlocino Cartel, which consists of only a dozen people, famous?

It was because they were able to harass Deckard Cartel, the strongest cartel that exerts absolute influence in this back alley, with such personnel.

In a sense, like a small David attacking the giant Goliath, Vivian was also able to recreate the situation at that time.

Of course, it must be taken into account that Laratina has been investing money to strengthen the cartel until now, but this side was also not easy in other ways in that regard.

Rather, Laratina, who was focusing on the legal business side and was intoxicated with elegance, would she be able to cleanly block this challenge coming to her?

With Nemea, the skin that even a knife cannot penetrate, and the physical abilities that have been significantly raised by mixing bodies with Enic.

Even if she hires mercenaries and buys strong weapons, and raises her combat power in various ways, the power that Vivian currently has is what can make it useless.

Moreover, she had already obtained all the information about Laratina.

Could she really block her, who was turning on the map hack?

“Okay… anyway, if there’s no Laratina…
The guys who can face me…”

“Then it’s decided.
You can leave right now.
The support troops have already left.”

“Support troops…?”

“It’s easier to draw attention.
In that sense, I invested a little?.
While Laratina’s combatants are distracted…
You can bake or boil the empty house as you please.
Then, I’ll wish you good luck.”

“We’re ready too!!
Just give the order…!!”

As soon as Jebi’s words were finished, the vanguard of Henia rushed down to the lobby from all over the brothel.

Even though he usually looked laid-back, was he really a mastermind-like leader who leads the cartel without problems?

Vivian’s head, which was taking a quick but cold breath at the situation of the work being done in a flash as if she had been preparing, was turning urgently but coldly.

“Take one of these.
Execute it as soon as the sun sets.
You guys are here, this business place.
Claudia, you guys are here.
Radina, take charge of the brewery.
And… I’ll take down Laratina myself.”
