Hero Hack: Reversing Heroes and Raising Harem-Chapter 136: Now Hiring Former Slaves

Zain met Velra outside the ruined chamber.

His clothes were torn, and his body was covered in blood.

But there was no sign of injuries in his body.

Velra looked at him for a moment, her eyes scanning his form.

She already knew that her master would be fine.

The strange ability he had made sure of that.

"You’re done, huh, master?" Velra asked.

Zain nodded, wiping a bit of blood from his lip.

Yeah, I’ve killed them all. The slaves. They won’t be a problem anymore."

Velra’s eyes flicked toward the area they had just left behind. "I see."

Zain exhaled, looking ahead. "Then what will you do now?"

Velra paused for a moment but then gave a confident nod.

"As always, I will follow you, master."

She stepped forward, her expression serious.

"But I want to go to other Valcair bases."

"I plan to retrain the girls there."

"Make them your soldiers. Your slaves, as they should be."

"They will serve you, just like I do." freёnovelkiss.com

Zain tilted his head slightly, his expression unreadable.

"I see. So, you’re doing what you’re good at, huh?"

Velra gave him a small smile, her eyes flicking to the side.

"You know my history. I’ve trained slaves before."

"It’s not hard to turn them into something better."

"All it takes is a bit of time and some... discipline."

Zain chuckled softly, watching her closely.

"I suppose that will be a good job for you, then."

"Being the last of the Vantess, and all."

Velra’s gaze hardened, and she met his eyes.

"Yes. The last Vantess."

"That means more than just surviving."

"And, of course, serving you."

Zain’s grin widened, his voice dark with amusement.

"You have your ways, Velra. I don’t mind using them."

She nodded.

"And I’ll make sure they’re trained well."

"The girls you’ll have will fight for you. They will follow you without question."

Zain looked up at the sky for a moment.

"I’ve never really cared about having an army, but..."

He glanced back at Velra, his eyes sharpening.

"But if I want to reach the peak, I’ll need it."

Velra stood silent, waiting for him to continue.

She knew there was more.

Zain turned fully toward her now, smirking.

"Now, I’ll give you something good."

Velra raised an eyebrow, confused but intrigued.

Without another word, Zain raised his hand and activated his system.

Velra stood still as a faint sensation ran through her body.

She blinked, the sudden clarity that followed surprising her.

"What did you do?"

Zain smirked, watching her carefully.

"A new ability. Flesh Chain Embrace."

"It’ll make it easier for you to control the girls you train."

"They’ll be drawn to you more naturally."

"And you’ll be able to manipulate their instincts, push them into obedience."

Velra’s eyes sharpened as she processed it.

"I see... That’ll make things a lot easier, Master. Thank you."

She bowed her head, her eyes still gleaming with understanding.

"Now I can train them even faster."

Zain nodded, the satisfaction of his action evident in his eyes.

"Exactly. It’s a tool for you, Velra."

"You’ll be able to make them more effective. More loyal. It will help us both."

Velra straightened, her posture sharp and confident.

"Then I’ll get started right away. I won’t fail you."

Zain gave a slight nod.

"I know you won’t."

Velra turned to leave, the new ability already settling in her body.

This was just the beginning of something much bigger.

The air in Valcair’s main base was thick with tension.

The wreckage from the earlier battles still lingered.

A figure appeared from the shadows.

A wolfman, his fur dark and matted with blood.

He gritted his teeth, scanning the room for any sign of Valcair.

His voice growled, barely audible, "Damn it... how could he die?"

His eyes flicked around, but there was nothing.

No corpses of the mutated beasts Valcair had created.

No traces of the battle that had clearly taken place here.

"Where are they?" he muttered.

"Where are the others?"

He moved deeper into the base, his claws scraping against the cold stone floor.

But then something clicked in his mind.

He froze.

The wolfman remembered something crucial.

The bodies were all gone. No blood. No remains.

And there was no trace of Valcair’s body either.

A chill ran down his spine.

"Heavenly Demon."

The words escaped his lips with a growl.

The realization hit hard.

"It’s him, isn’t it?"

"That damn Heavenly Demon."

"He must be the one who destroys the corpses!"

His fist clenched, nails digging into his palms as the anger boiled over.

"Why is he always in my way?"

The wolfman’s voice trembled with frustration.

"Heavenly Demon... I swear, you won’t get away next time."

He turned, his body tense, ready to seek revenge.

This was far from over, and the Heavenly Demon was a problem he couldn’t afford to ignore.

Zain returned to his apartment.

He entered his room and sat on the edge of his bed.

He glanced at the Hack Points on his system interface.

The numbers flashed before his eyes.

He had over 900,000 Hack Points. Enough to make a real change.

Zain leaned back, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

"To be AA rank, I need five Mid-Tier abilities..."

"But what if... what if I can get a High-Tier ability instead?"

He stared at the screen, the temptation strong.

He should have more than enough points to buy one.

"I guess it’s time to test if those points are worth it."

Zain smiled to himself, fingers hovering over the Hack Points menu.

"One step closer to absolute power."
