Reincarnation Of Audemars

"That's quite an impressive jump on improvements there, brother in law. I never knew that your progress would be this quick..." Prius said and was whacked over the head by Patricia.

"What are you talking about, brother? Audemars is turning these kids into little monsters... Ranger-Assassins my ass. They are my children, and your nephew and nieces... How could Audemars turn them into such monsters soon?" Patricia cried out as she watched in horror as the kids enacted themselves as being an Assassin and were eviscerating each other with their hands and were falling around the floor in mocked agony.

The kids were also shooting one another with imaginary crossbows with both hands and were peeking behind chairs and under the tables as they were imagining themselves got shot. One was holding their butts and some holding their noses as they imagined they were shot as they went down, rolling and sprawling on the floor.

"Alright, all of you... Time to wash up and head to bed. Don't play with your crossbows in the room, ok? Tomorrow Daddy would let you read a book and let you master it one type of knowledge at a time. By the way, do you all know how to access your system, right?"

"Yes, Daddy... I know how to use the system to check how many candies and snacks I left inside my storage bags." Kayla replied and realised that she had leaked a secret and suddenly she kept quiet and looked at her feet.

"Ah-hah... I caught you at last... Hah hah hah... Remember to brush your teeth after eating your snacks, those sweets left in your teeth would form cavities and all those yucky stuff in your mouth. Brush before you sleep and no more snacking after that, remember? "

"Yes, Daddy..." and the four children scrambled upstairs to their rooms and we heard quite a commotion as they took turns to brush their teeth and wash their faces before heading to bed. It was very quiet some time back and the presence of these children do make it somewhat lively.

"I'm not turning them into little monsters. By instilling them the right set of skills, they would be able to use it more effectively. Furthermore, it's high time House of Keating would rise up the rankings. What would it be, quantity versus quality? How do they base in the House rankings?" I asked as I wanted to find out more on how to move up the House rankings from the bottom 14th place.

"It is based on the number of kills, monsters and beasts. Also once the Houses started to open once more, we would expect a number of quests that would appear around this time. Rebecca would also play her part in dispensing the quest that you had undergone before." Prius said as he mentioned a few more quests that are not based on annihilation but were like common everyday tasks like getting things done such as helping the community and so on.

"These quests are good for building up character in the adventurers and for the battle seasoned ones, it would be like getting rid of the trolls to gather a certain piece of something in the caves or like the one you had gotten for Blake, the iron ingots from the goblin's hideout."

"Other dangerous ones are like collecting resources from the Southern Plains and the Wastelands. There are quite a number of main quests as well as side quests and these would be given out by either the Houses, passersby, merchants or even from residential houses. You can see from your minimap as these quests would represent blinks on it."

Prius explained and I understood what he meant by building character. "How about allocated points, I haven't checked on the children's attributes yet. Could these be given to them of I am not using them at all?" I inquired since I hadn't got a chance to check on the children's other attributes and stats.

Prius looked at me and find that I have more than 27k unallocated points and told me that I could give away my unused points to anyone who's in a party with me. Giving away the unallocated points won't make the person level up, and it's limited to only 100 points per level.

"Alright, I understand Prius, at last, I'm able to look into their stats but they could hide their attributes and stats right?" I opened up my interface and saw nothing of that but was filled with in-depth information from the attributes and stats that I had filled with my allocation points.

"The newer version has the ability to hide these from prying eyes. I think yours was an older version and an outdated one. It was a wonder you still be able to figure out how to use your interface." Prius explains as he was comprehensive but easier to use. Mine was like from the Stone Ages era. Hah hah hah...

"Ah well, I don't really have to time to peer into mine because if so many details and breakdown from it. By the way, so Rebecca would be here when she was not handing out quests? And a person just needs to go through once, am I right? In that case, we would be able to get to know the number of adventurers here in Ingmery." I finally said as I gather up the thoughts of the Atelier, Blacksmith and Bowsmith finally getting in the business for themselves.

*Ding* Duplication Success. 250 nos of Battle Axes, Two-handed Broadsword and Assassin's Compact crossbow attained each. Progress 750%. Base Level +7, Crafter Level +7, Allocation points +75.

"Hmm, your notification just rang and I could hear them as well. It's like as if you are cooking something inside a microwave and it dinged when it's ready. Hahahahaha." Prius said and I was totally taken aback since he can hear and see my attributes and stats right now and I felt as if I'm totally naked right now.

"What do you plan for the children, right now, Audemars. Your mind is always working 24/7 and you had been going through a lot ever since you wake up from your coma. From small business to a major distributor right down to helping other establishments to grow under the household name House of Keating."

"Our travelling merchants and delivery boys are working autonomously and so far they had covered about 20 over towns. The sales and credits had been compiled and we have close to 10 million credits, thanks to the commotion over at Blake's."

"What else do you want to achieve in life? I have never seen a man this ambitious before and I am proud to be your wife, Audemars. Tell me... What else do you have in mind?" Patricia pleasingly asked me since she was filled with shock and surprises ever since I had been up and about after lying on the hard wooden bed for 6 months.

"Right now for sure, is that I wish to groom these 4 children to become mentors and leaders of the future. There are hidden skills that I will impart for them and one thing for sure, other Houses won't have them. This knowledge is very valuable and I don't think it could be found elsewhere. These children if ours would be next predecessors of Rangers-Assassins."

"It would be tops above House of Grundy. Right now I have a task to do and I would be heading to Blake's to see if he have any short swords, throwing knives and the sort. I'd be right back in a short while." I said as I motioned for the exit as I kissed Patricia's forehead.

....

"From the moment that man entered this household by the infirmary, I knew that he would be the successor for House of Keating. I was waiting for him to wake up and when he did finally, he filled me with awe and surprises every time. I am glad he is my brother in law and your husband, Pat... "

"Yes... I'm glad too. Within a period of less than two months, he is able to gather a wealth of 10 million credits and those credits were continuing to pile up. Furthermore, he entrusts me with those financial matters. I don't know what's in his mind, you won't be able to probe right?"

"I don't think I would probe in too far, Pat. The actual truth would better be left untouched. I had managed to accidentally probe into his past and all I can say is that he had been through many places and had experienced more things in life than us at least 5 fold."

"As for now, I can say that he is a great leader, a great warrior, a man with a vision and a responsible person. Whatever he does is best left to his judgement, and if he thinks it's not going well for him, he would dispose of the idea totally."

"What I can say is that he trusts the children and the children trusts him too. What he sees in the children is the future for House of Keating and what he does right now is to sculpt these children to become a more responsible adult even before they become a teenager."

"At the age of 10, 11 and 12, these children began to learn a trade from their young age and able to lead by example with the adults. The employees after I had chatted with them were saying that they were proud that these children had taken up such a responsibility and wished that these children were theirs. Who knows, one day, House of Keating would be getting memberships from as young as 10 to be Ranger-Assassins."

"I have to agree with you Prius, you too have great minds just like Audemars. I'm going to tuck the children in and make sure they don't eat snacks or whatever in the beds." Patricia said as she stood up and heads upstairs and she places her ears on every door and finds that the children had already fallen asleep with steady breathing. She peered in and tucked the children in bed properly while adjusting the aircon to 26 degrees and oscillate the wall fan as well.

....

"Hiho, my good old friend..." I greeted as I sauntered in to meet Blake as I handed him the 250 pieces of battle axes and two-handed Broadsword into his storage. "Thank you, my good brother. You had once again helped salvage our business and our reputation. I wonder how Romulus and Quentin are going to sell those weapons since you had placed a 10k price in every item since our selling price is this much."

"Don't worry about them, Blake. It is their fault to stir up a hornet's nest. And the one that got stung is them and not you. What you need to do is to sell them. By the way, I am here because I am looking for you to look at some designs. Do you have a design book or something? "

"Ah, yes... We do have design books on weapons and armours. Here you go, you may keep it since I no longer need it for my reference as customers now come in and just buy what's in store right now. Thanks to you, these Level 4 weapons are surely one of its kind." Blake said as he handed me several books which he placed on his counter and it covers from arming wear, cloth, leather, chain mail, plated armour, bucklers and shields and ladies battle gear as well.

Next, he places the books on swords, daggers, pole weapons, oriental swords, knives and throwing weapons. There are 14 books and I am sure I am able to learn everything within a short while. I thank Blake and places them inside my storage bags as my notifications rang out wildly.

"And now, the next order of things would soon come your way, my friend. I would be helping you out as much as I could and then I'd see what else I could do for our friend Blake since he is into ranged weapons so he might be into flintlock and pistols as well." I said as I left the store and heads next to Bruce's.
