"I'll give a recommendation to our clients about whoever can bring me his head and as for the girls, throw them back in their cells, we'll discipline them later." The rotund man ordered, his men cheering in response.Their cheering soon ceased as a loud thwack echoed throughout the building, the dull thud that was the body of one of their colleagues startled them even further, a few stepping back instinctively."You didn't come to me, so I had to come to you." Arthur remarked coolly, spinning the pipe in hand."What are you idiots waiting for?! Get him!""That's it, don't waste my time." Arthur said cooly, rushing towards the approaching henchmen.For a plan that was created for the purpose of destroying the hope of the victims, the kidnappers watched any hope of winning slowly dwindle against the masked man.He weaved through their attacks and struck in a manner that reminded one of a mamba, but the strength in each of his strikes was slightly off from being fatal, after all they wer

He had some reason to be confused as not only was the renowned individual, Otto Wagner known for his neutrality due to his line of work, he was also one of the most reputable men in the entire region.In terms of power and influence, he was comparable with Mrs Elizabeth and he was a person that not even the seven great families could mess with him carelessly.That was one of the reasons why on some occasions where an argument would break out between any of the great seven, he was called upon to mediate.But like the case with Charles and Amelia Elizabeth, Otto Wagner was a close friend of Uther Rhyfel, Arthur's father and had now pledged his loyalty to him."Understood sir." He turned his attention to the tablet before him, but Arthur remained staring, only turning back after nearly a minute.The car pulled to a stop and Arthur headed into the Twilight casino. His meeting with Otto Wagner was somewhat fruitful, but even with his failure to fully uncover the entire Wright family's net

The car ride to the location of Aya's manager according to the information Charles had delivered, was uneventful and the presence of a few patrol cars outside his office gave further acknowledgment to Arthur's idea of parking two streets away.Circling the office the manager and his team had used since Ayame had entered the region to a neighboring building, Arthur hurried up the stairs, making it to the roof in a matter of minutes.Slipping on his black leather gloves while he walked up the stairs, Arthur pulled out a black facemask from his pocket as well, his little adventure with Ayame resurfacing in his mind.A faint chuckle escaped him, and then he muttered resolutely, "I'll find you Ayame and I'll make the ones responsible pay, so don't you worry."Upon entering the roof, he looked around, setting his sight on the building he wished to access and began to hop in place.Arthur broke into a sprint and raced from one end of the roof to the other, leaping through the air just before

Parking his car at a gas station some blocks away, Arthur notified the salesperson in the convenience store about his leaving his car behind, giving a vague explanation as well as some money to ensure he looked out for the car.After leaving the store, he sent a text to Leon, updating him on the situation and notifying him of his car's location.He understood his message and ordered a few of Arthur's subordinates to stay on guard around the area, where if the opportunity was present, they would provide support for Arthur and Ayame.After settling that, Arthur set out on foot, occasionally glancing at his phone map to note the exact location he was given.The sky had grown dark and the moon peeked from behind the clouds when Arthur arrived, switching off his phone and tucking it away safely in his pocket.Zipping up his jacket, he adjusted his baseball cap, facemask and put on his black leather gloves, cautiously eyeing his surroundings while he did so.He glanced at his system window

It seemed that they were either too used to seeing people of his appearance approach the office or it was probably that the ones remaining appeared much too tired to care.If working with people as overwhelming as their bosses wasn’t tiring enough, the overtime proved to be just as tedious.Holding down the door knob just to be sure, it clicked slightly, refusing to budge afterwards.He stepped back, a glint behind the potted plant beside the office caught his eyes. Squatting, he reached behind the decor and pulled out a small bunch of keys.Arthur scoffed at the sight; though he acknowledged his meticulous planning as well as Charles and Leon's information was partly responsible for the ease in which he infiltrated the building, Arthur couldn’t deny that the low morale was another cause.That had been one of the many reasons he had to become a symbol for his allies.From the multiple battles during the war, Arthur had first-hand experience on how much impact morale had on people, whe
