Arthur smiled in response to her remark, and saw her off, returning to meet the surprised Isabella."That was Mrs Elizabeth? The Mrs Elizabeth of Elizabeth lines??" "Yes, it was." Arthur replied curtly, taking away the briefcase of money that she held in hand easily."Everything went according to your plan, didn't it?" He stated, his jovial expression nowhere to be seen."I don't get what you mean?"Letting out an annoyed sigh, Arthur stated, "You were looking for someone to rid you of that pest, so you decided either you get someone good enough to have him gone or a nobody who he can get drunk of the fame of embarrassing, am I wrong?"She went silent, pointedly avoiding Arthur's cold gaze while fiddling with her fingers."I simply went along because he began to annoy me, and nuisances like him need to be put in their place, but," he walked closer to her, his tone taking on a threatening growl, "I do not appreciate being used."He recalled experiences he had during the war.When othe

Handing the phone to Isabella, along with his coat and bowtie, he led her to a part of the forest that according to his calculations, the ones hunting him wouldn't reach.Accepting that her presence would be more of a liability than anything, Isabella simply bade him good luck, hoping that the man who had truly intrigued her, wouldn't die so soon.Rolling up his sleeves as he approached the wreckage that his pursuers had now surrounded, like ants around a piece of food, Arthur quickly scanned the area, getting a good idea of their positions.His experience in the war was more than enough as he had fought a great multitude of battles in forest areas.While it would have been far easier to pick them off one by one, that would only achieve one of his goals, and the fact that he returned meant the second goal was of more importance than the former.After completing his plan, he moved to execute it; grabbing hold of a lone man and with the precision of a trained soldier, silently ended his

Understanding that he was at Arthur's mercy, his will to survive outdid his pride and he blinked in response."Good boy, now let's see what you know." Arthur stated, bringing out a document from a yellow file beside him.The pattern went on for a while; Arthur would ask a question about the attack, his uncle and the location of evidence surrounding the two, and whenever Loid grew reluctant to answer, Arthur would remind him about what position he was in and how easily he could send him into the afterlife.For a good number of people, just those actions wouldn't be enough to motivate them to speak, but the paralysis coupled with the suffocating air from being around Arthur, Loid had no choice but to answer every question as truthfully as possible.After confirming his suspicions and gaining new information, Arthur rose, opening a black pouch attached to his belt and pulling out a syringe. Loid watched him extremely frightened as he tapped the syringe gently then moved to inject him.

There was no one in the hall who didn't turn to the door which opened suddenly. The occupants also shared confused expressions at the suited masked man who walked in, their eyes widening at the entourage that followed.The man with the white mask with a red rose at the side looked around the hall, his gaze resting on the head of the auction hall before he resumed walking."Just who the hell do you think you are?!!" The man yelled, igniting a feeling of annoyance in the minds of a few of his peers.Ignoring his rant, the masked man signaled a staff member and handed her a flash drive, gesturing to the projector that stood on the stage.Growing frustrated at his nonchalance, the man yelled once more, "Security!! What the heck am I paying you all for?! Toss these men out of the building this instant!" A few of his colleagues shouted in support of his order.Sharing a nervous look with themselves, the security personnel moved towards the masked man and his men. Raising his gloved palm, t

After checking in on Arthur and helping to choose an outfit for the occasion, Luna saw him off, only returning after his car had left the compound. She returned to the office, her eyes widening at the wrapped box on the desk. Facepalming with a sigh at the fact that he had forgotten to place the gift in his car, Luna moved to the phone, dialing his private number to alert him as soon as possible.Tapping his steering wheel, Arthur glanced about, his eyes flitting back to the red light that hindered him and several cars from moving.His car's speaker alerted Arthur of a call and he tapped the screen to pick the call, returning his gaze to the road."I'm really sorry about that Arthur, I forgot to place the gift in the car."Glancing at the back seat, he replied casually, "No wonder I felt something was missing. It's no problem, you don't need to apologize, I'll get something along the way.""But sometimes I wonder why even you can be so careless at times." Luna stated, her familial a
