Reborn As Hades In Olympus

Chapter Twenty Two: Disciplining My Subjects

I sat comfortably on my seat, my fingers tapping on my table as I looked at the board of directors before me. Hecate stood behind me with a notepad in hand.

I willed the cursed eye of mine to work, there were about six of them there before me. They were in charge of managing all the matters pertaining to my empire, apparently because of the growth of the underworld they had grown pompous and lenient.

"Is this all of them?" I asked Hecate. She responded with a nod, I could tell from the way she looked at me that she was curious on what I would do. "Don't worry, I'll show you something good." I muttered to her.

From left to right:

DOMA: DARK BEAST

LIKABILITY TO HADES- -150

ROLE TO HADES- DIRECTOR OF SOUL COLLECTION AND ANALYTICS AT THE UNDERWORLD ESTATE

CONFLICT- LAZINESS, UNPRODUCTIVITY, DIVERGENCE OF FUNDS.

I smiled inwardly, let's start with this one shall we. The dark beast was a huge red boar with huge tusks, he had short brown hair and wearing a checkered suit. His pot belly stuck out from his outfit, from the looks of it he's been eating a hefty breakfast. So that's where all my money went.

"Mr Doma, you head the soul collection division right?" I like to start out at a slow pace before getting up to the good part, it's more fun that way.

"Yes my liege, I am glad you have awoken fr your deep state rest." He bowed his head to me. He does have a big mouth both figuratively and physically, you can't flagger me!

Besides, I know what each one of you is worth deep down...

CHARACTER "DOMA" IS CURSING YOU DEEP DOWN.

LIKEABILITY IS DROPPED BY -15.

Not so long ago my eye upgraded and now I can use lie detection. I can see through any fake up someone tries to pull on me.

"I hear productivity has dropped in your division by twenty percent since I went asleep." I tapped my fingers on the table even faster, I could feel it with my sixth sense, they were getting agitated. But I haven't even stayed yet. "If I add up the monthly income for the past two hundred and fifty seven years I have been asleep I estimate having lose at least this much."

I snapped my finger and Hecate showed them a page on her notepad where I wrote in black pen and absurd long number of digits more than a hundred, I would have added more but I got tired.

"You have been negligent with your duties, you all have!" I started to pressure them with my dominator's aura and watched them shake in their boots.

"But my liege, it wasn't intentional. Business has been bad." Doma argued and that was when he fell into my trap.

I banged my fist on the table alarming all of them, Hecate on the other hand was the least intimidated. In fact she stood as still as a rock. "Do you mean to tell me that in over a millenia business stayed at a twenty percent drop without as much as a shift? Month in and month out?"

Don't even try to argue, I've been getting in and out of arguments as a kid. The only difference was that I became a god, no one argues with a god.

"Bu--" Doma was starting to piss off. Well I guess he was eager to start the party then, so who am I to deny the poor faggot to be the opening act.

"Move to the left now." I will teach you not to speak when spoken to.

"But my liege—"

To have the guts to even argue against my command, Hades must have been slack on these ones. Good thing I'm here. "Mr Doma please move to the left, I promise nothing wrong will happen I just want to try something out."

I watched him hesitate before walking away from the group. This is how obedience is learned, through hardship.

I pulled the phone next to my table and spoke into it. "Marcy, bring a sledgehammer down to my office this instant." Now this is where the real show begins.

For the next minute their faces were distorted, mixed with confusion and worry. I could feel their heartbeats drumming louder most especially Doma.

There a soft knock on the door causing their hearts to jump up. "Come in, come and join us." It's time to clean out all the rats.

CHARACTER "MARCY" IS BEING OBSERVANT OF YOU.

Marcy came in dragging the huge sledgehammer behind her, it looked just ancient and real. She could barely pull it with her tiny build, she was also scared that I could tell. And I thought gorgons were supposed to be vicious.

"I apologize for taking too much of your time my liege." She was more obedient than before, I guess my small lecture worked wonders.

"No biggie, you just have to do one thing for me before you go." I smiled and rubbed my hands together causing everyone to jump. Oh I remember! I'm not supposed to smile, now they were more scared. "Marcy would you kindly bash in Mr Doma's head now? I want to see what the insides of his brain looks like, that way we can know why he thinks he can lie to me."

I made the room spin in that moment.

YOU HAVE INSTILLED GREAT FEAR IN TO YOUR SUBJECTS, DOMINATION POINTS HAS INCREASED BY 50.

CHARACTER "HECATE" IS DEEPLY AMUSED BY YOUR VERDICT.

"My liege, pardon me!" Marcy panicked.

I rose to my feet and used my dominator's aura once more. "Did I stutter? Or perhaps you are deaf?"

"My liege!" Doma boomed.

Now he had done it, I was pissed. Marcy silenced the mumurs as she raised the sledgehammer above his head and brought it down hard. WHACK— "How dare you talk back to our liege like that?" She screamed as the snakes on her head hissed out.

I watched Doma fall on his back, half his face had been bashed in and blood gushing out from it. "I guess they don't call you a gorgon for nothing."

Marcy dropped the sledgehammer with a loud thump and turned to leave. "Will that be all my liege?"

I like her, I really do. I was planning to kill her myself before but to not flinch when doing it, she will be a very useful asset. "No Marcy, that will be all. I can handle it from here."

She bowed her head and turned to leave. As the door slammed shut behind her the remaining five board directors looked at me in great fear.

I walked around the table and over to the sledgehammer, Doma was still squirming on the floor so I smashed open his skull just to finish the job. His blood splattered on my face and suit but that was okay. You always get dirty when cleaning out the trash.

I turned to the other board directors and said with a smile. "Can we pick up where we left off then?"
