"Here, take these platinum grimoires and upgrade your gold grade grimoires," I said, handing a platinum grimoire to Van, Fred, and old Ben each.

"Thank you, Boss." The calamity daughter gems thanked me for the platinum grimoires.

"Remember, upgrade your grimoires but do not break through to the next realm unless I tell you to." Van, Fred, and Old Ben all had cultivated their active soul control percentage to the peak of the card lord realm. And thanks to the calamity daughter gem, these guys had already begun comprehending rules. They could break through to the next realm whenever they wanted. With the help of a platinum grimoire, I gave them, breaking through to the card overlord realm had become much easier.

But I can not have them breaking into the card overlord realm. Because following the government laws, their citizenship will be upgraded to a new second-rate or, if the lucky first-rate city. Where card overlords are not a rare sight. If that happens, I will be losing three of my strongest and most experienced calamity daughter gems. Which I can not let happen because I need these three to lead the two of my current biggest armed organizations, the TSR Guild and the Tiger Squadron. Not to mention they were required to spearhead the attack on the circle's branch in sun blossom city. In the end, I needed Van, Old Ben, and Fred to present here in this city, managing my organizations in my stead. Therefore I forbade them from breaking through to the Card Overlord realm.

"Yes, Boss." The three calamity daughter gems agreed.

"Make use of the funds I gave you to obtain a few AA-rank and S-rank mythic grade cards you fancy. If you can not get those cards here, buy them when visiting the Southern Academic City. If you don't have enough funds, ask me. I want you at your strongest all the time." Having a platinum grimoire wasn't enough. They needed to have the appropriate grade cards to showcase the true power of the platinum grade grimoire.

"Thank you, boss. But we have sufficient funds." Van replied. It took a while for the TSR guild to get back on its feet after the merger of what remained of the three allied guilds and had finally started to yield. It could be considered to have become more than lucrative. Therefore Van was not short on funds.

But the same could not be said for the tiger squadron. They had become a private force after cutting ties with their previous employer, city hall, and coming to work for me. Not to mention, they don't have any work of their own to raise funds of their own. They are a work in progress. I planned to wait until after we took down the Circle branch in Sun blossom city to make a few arrangements for them, and the plan hasn't changed.

"Boss, Tiger squadron doesn't have enough funds." Old Ben has been trying hard to gather funds for the tiger squadron by using his Blood craft meaning of the blood rule. But one person alone cannot shoulder the entire expanse of an organization. Of course, I am an exception.

"Van provide the necessary funds for captain Ben's cards." Since both organizations belonged to the same parent organization, there was no reason for the TSR guild not to help the tiger squadron.

"After you three are done upgrading your grimoires, take this and recruit the members for the Sin Squad. Van update them about how our organization works and the duties of the Sin Squad.

Also, help them unlock the second transformation of the calamity daughter gem and take them along with you to the southern Academic region. Let them complete the task. You three don't show up unless it is absolutely required." I handed Van a storage card containing 13 calamity daughter gems so that he could make use of these gems to recruit the 4 card lords and 7 card grandmasters into the Sin Squad.

Putting it vaguely, the people who I was about to recruit are bad people. And the best at what they do. Their reconnaissance and anti reconnaissance ability are top-notch. They commit the most heinous crimes yet manage to evade any repercussions. These guys were perfect recruits for my shadow army, The Sin Squad.

The retrieval of my property from the Butcher Bob's men will be my first official task to the Sin Squad. And Van, Fred, and Old Ben will be there as backup. This way, I could see if I had recruited the right people for the job.

"Okay, Boss. anything else?" Asked Van.

"Um… here, take these documents. Have somebody check each asset listed in these documents and update the ownership status of these assets to the people managing them." The documents mostly contained Dungeons in various cities in the blossom district and were leased to different guilds and families to tend to. Rami had made arrangements for them. Now all I had to do was inform the concerned parties about the new ownership and enjoy the agreed-upon compensations for the lease of the dungeons and other assets.

"Boss, all these assets are all over the Blossom District. It will take a while to pay them a personal visit for inspection. But I can have the guild staff inform the concerned parties about the change in ownership over a call." Taking the documents and inspecting them, Van replied that a personal visit and inspection of all these assets would take a while. Until then, he could have his members inform the asset managers about the new ownership so that any payment will be directed to me.

"Okay, you do that. But if somebody creates trouble, persuade them harder. You don't need me to teach you that, do you now?" Rami Kaga and I are two different people. All the assets have been managed without trouble this far because of Rami Kaga's prestige, and people know what happens if somebody crosses him. Now that I am the new boss, I need to set the same tone for my new asset managers so that they don't let greed blind them into doing something stupid.
