Stepping into the villa and walking side by side with him, Arthur glanced around, noting a good number of new faces among the house personnel.He observed for a bit longer before turning to Henri and asking, “Did you change your butlers and maids too?”Looking from the ones who bowed in greeting to Arthur, he replied. “Well, yes I did. I was thinking a lot after discovering one of my own workers was the one responsible for my daughter's state. It was shocking but I had to make a decision to prevent anything like that from ever happening.”“And you did that by hiring some naive and lousy new blood?” Arthur asked, gesturing at the door from where they entered.Understanding that he was referring to the guards outside, he bowed slightly again as he commented. “You have my apologies for that once more. I ask that you understand that they were tense due to the failure of their predecessors.”Henri opened the door to his private study while he continued. “As for the maid servants and butler

Exotic was an understatement for the products brought for the auction during the occasion. From weapons to people to animals down to antiques, anything rare and mostly illegal could be acquired there.Another thing associated with it was the secrecy. It was an extremely hush event that was only spoken of by the who's who. And even at that, entrance was invitation only. No one who wasn't on the invitation list could find the cruise ship where it took place talk less of even joining the banquet.So he was immensely surprised when Arthur stated the exact details of said occasion while also implying that he was not one invited or even reached out to by neither the organizers nor the attendees.But more than that was the danger Henri had associated with that event. It was no secret that several law enforcement units had made it a task to find and shut down the event for years but none had made any progress.What they had done instead was to change their manner of approach. Since it was dee

And so, over a week passed before the arrival of the long awaited D-day.During that time both Arthur Rhyfel and Henri Lefevre prepared everything required for their strategy. As far as Henri knew, the plan was simple; both he and Arthur were to board the cruise ship and attend the event while the latter was in the guise of a bodyguard.His aim apparently was simply to meet someone and that was all Henri needed to know, both for his safety and that of his family. But for Arthur it was anything but a simple or straightforward plan; he would need to infiltrate the Merchant's cruise ship while maintaining his persona as Henri Lefevre's bodyguard. If that wasn't tough enough, he had to also navigate and properly investigate the ship for any and all sorts of evidence that could be used against the Hughes family.This was an objective suggested by Charles and not long after it was given to Arthur as a sub mission under the main one which was; [Defeat the “Merchant”.]Charles had given his

So due to that kind of leadership, there was no proper successor for the great family.That brought about a great rift and the formation of several new factions, each fighting for control.Control of the assets, control of the influence and most of all, complete ownership of the position of the patriarch.Due to their current state, there was no true leader to reach out to the Hughes family for assistance or for the Hughes family to contact. So after declaring them a lost cause at least for now, they stepped back and monitored the situation.These among many other reasons contributed to the current behavior of the great family and to make matters much worse, the family's second son was revealed to be murdered and the rumors that his corpse wasn't even left intact had begun to spread, courtesy of Arthur and Charles of course.So the facade of absolute strength they kept up began to slowly crumble and the death of the Surgeon led to the formation of more cracks in the fragile thing they

Arthur remained by Luna as the maids placed his luggage in the black car that was to take him to the Lefevre house. Then from there under the guise of Henri's bodyguard, he would be taken to the cruise ship where if things went as planned, he would meet the Hand of the Hughes family called the Merchant. He could sense her unease, her fear of being separated from him after being reunited for only a short while. Arthur's heart swelled with empathy; he knew exactly how she felt. He had promised her and himself that he wouldn't cause her anymore pain and yet again he found himself breaking that promise. It seemed that all his planning and their outing was not as effective as he had originally hoped it to be. "Luna, my dear cousin," he said, his deep voice soothing, "I'll be fine. I promise. This trip is just a quick one as I told you before, a meeting with a contact of Henri Lefevre to discuss potential business ventures. I'll be back before you know it." Luna's eyes narrowed, her

“Are we heading to Henri Lefevre's villa first, sir?” Leon asked, glancing at the reflection of the stoic Arthur on the rear view mirror.Resting his chin on his hand as he stared out the window, Arthur replied. “No, we'll go over to Charles' headquarters first to see if he has any new information and then we'll be on our way to Henri's place.”“Understood sir.” Leon stated curtly, returning his attention to the wheel.Prior to his departure, Arthur had made a request to Charles concerning gathering sufficient information on the venue where he would soon clash with the Merchant, one of the Hands of the Hughes family and for the first time ever, he was unable to properly fulfill his request.It would be safe to say without a doubt that Charles was the best information broker in the entire region and finding those close to his level of skill or connection was such a rare thing that one could count the number of them on a single finger.So making the statement that if Charles was unable

Assuming a more confident posture with a smile that reflected how proud of himself he was, Charles replied heartily. “Of course, sir. You don't need to worry because everything you need is right here.”Upon ending his statement, he handed a yellow folder to Arthur who did nothing to hide his expression that reflected what a pleasant surprise Charles' act was.“It was quite difficult, sir. For a long time, even I was unable to get anything on the ship or even the event. That's how secretive it was, sir! It was only about a day or two days ago that I was able to get my hands on this.”Charles exhaled audibly and tiredly, watching Arthur shift his gaze from him to the folder before him.He opened it to see several blueprints of what he recognized as the cruise ship alongside several notes and markings that surrounded it. Raising the blueprints, he peeked below at a few other observations of all sorts made in the form of notes.Placing the mappings of the cruise ship on Charles' desk that

Charles nodded in response, Arthur's confidence having an obvious effect on him. This was due to the fact that it was not mere boasting, Arthur Rhyfel was the reaper, the Unbreakable Citadel and the war god. He had crushed enemies thought to be undefeatable beneath the heels of his boots, the enemy who could defeat him was yet to exist.He stood, his mind already finalizing his strategies and contingency plans. "Thanks for the information, Charles. You've been a great help, as always."Charles nodded, his eyes reflecting his satisfaction at Arthur's words. "I'm glad to be of help, sir. I wish you the best of luck and also…give em hell."Arthur's smile grew slightly, his eyes glinting with anticipation. "Don't worry, Charles. They will not get any mercy from me.”Leon glanced up at the sound of the warehouse's metal doors opening, stepping away from the car at the sight of Arthur who shielded his eyes with his hand from the sun and approached him.“Were you able to get what you needed,

Arthur pulled out the life-like skin mask, inspecting the detail that it had for a moment before turning to Leon who had asked.“I truly hope it meets your expectations, sir?” He glanced at the rearview mirror once again in an attempt to gauge the reaction of his superior to the piece of art before him.Amelia Elizabeth in an act of showing her support to his endeavors to bring about the downfall of the ones responsible for the fall of the Rhyfel family, had personally arranged for a skin mask, the final piece of Arthur's disguise, to be created.Her aim while creating it was to make a face that while it looked like Arthur, it was clear that it was a completely different person. She did this so that it would not only fit his face perfectly, it would also serve as something of a deterrent for anyone, mostly in the hostile camp, that took notice of him.Internally grateful for her actions, Arthur replied with a small smile. “Yes, it does.”Glancing up from the skin mask in his gloved ha

Henri turned quickly at the sound of his only daughter's voice, putting on a fake reassuring smile as he rushed to her.“What's going on my dear?” He asked, placing his hands on her shoulders reassuringly.She simply shook her head, remaining silent as she eyed the man who stood behind her father cautiously.He was tall and fit, and reminded her a lot of the physical appearance of the vague images of the man her friend would often call her prince charming, the one responsible for saving her from her grim fate.Averting her gaze with reddened cheeks, Anais mentally scolded herself for gaining interest in yet another man. First, it was the one who cured her from the nearly fatal poison, then it was the man who rescued her from the men who would've done unspeakable things to her friend and her, and now it was the tall brown haired man before her.She couldn't understand why she had felt the exact same way for the three men, but what had no clue about was that who she had seen as three d
