Arome leaned back, considering her words carefully while the tension in the room thickened. He had expected some form of confrontation, but Marisa's approach caught him off guard. He knew that whatever she proposed would be in her favor, yet the opportunity to potentially turn the situation to his advantage was too tempting to ignore. He studied her, looking for any sign of deceit, but Marisa's expression remained resolute, her eyes reflecting a mixture of determination and desperation. This negotiation could either forge a new alliance or lead to further animosity, but Arome understood the delicate balance of power at play. His pride and past grievances tugged at him, but the pragmatic part of his mind recognized that cooperation might be the most strategic path forward. With a measured breath, he nodded slightly, signaling his willingness to hear her out, all the while bracing himself for the complexities that lay ahead. The breakfast buffet, now a distant memory, was replaced by th

    “Well, what is it you have to offer, I'm not saying I will accept anything. But what is it you want to offer?” Arome asked with a focused look on his face, at the same time he made sure to keep his eyes on the people around that looked like they were out of place. The bodyguards Marisa had come here with were not the only one’s present here. Arome could see even more people that seemed out of place within the restaurant, even among the staff that were serving them, he could tell that quite a few of them, moved with the kind of professional gait you would not see in a waiter or waitress. The way they carried themselves, the angle with which their bodies were presented, leaving one hand free in case they needed to reach for a weapon. Arome smiled, as he waved at one of the waitresses, surprising Marisa who was about to speak."Hello sir, please what can I help you with?" The waitress that Arome had called over asked him with a bright smile on her face. He nodded at her, then pointed at

    Marisa looked like the only thing she wanted to do right now was to rip Arome’s face off. Even more so when she took into consideration the way Arome had shown such control over her daughter. But what Marisa did not understand was that Arome’s current display, especially with the way he just interacted with Luna was for the benefit of his cousin Bayo. Based on the intense look of fury and the embarrassed look of shame on Luna’s face, it seems he got what he was aiming for. It was obvious, that even a blind man from afar could see the look of longing Bayo sent Luna’s way. And even though it was reflected in her eyes too, Arome would never sit back and let Bayo have anything good, and most definitely not Luna. Since this fool cousin of his stole his throne, then Arome will steal everything else from him, and it seems at the very top of that list was Luna.Marisa clenched her fists under the table, seething with barely contained rage. She knew that Arome was playing a dangerous game, one

    The tension between the two cousins was palpable, each word and gesture charged with years of unresolved conflict and mistrust. Bayo's eyes blazed with fury, his fists clenched tightly by his sides. "You think you can control her, bend her to your will?" Bayo spat, his voice a low growl. "Luna is not a pawn in your game."Arome's smile was cold, calculated. "You underestimate her strength, cousin. She's not a pawn; she's a queen. And like any queen, she has made her choices. The oath stands."Luna's gaze flickered between the two men, her heart pounding in her chest. She had known this moment would come, but the reality of it was more intense than she had ever imagined. She wanted to speak, to defend herself, but the weight of the oath and Arome's presence kept her silent.Before Bayo could respond, Rowan stepped forward from his position at the entrance, his hand resting on the hilt of his gun. "Is this really the place for such a confrontation?" he asked, his voice steady and calm.

    "Here is my proposal, which I will outline concisely for everyone’s clarity," Arome paused, relishing the palpable tension in the air and particularly the expression of anger from Bayo. "Firstly, the UNCH will facilitate the construction of a compound for me, which you will need to contract out to Falcon-Eagle Industries as a form of restitution for your inability to manage your own issues. This compound will be built according to my specifications. Marisa, you will enter into a 60/40 partnership with me and serve as an advisor in running my new independent agency.Furthermore, the UNCH will enter into a licensing agreement with my agency, allowing it to collaborate with them. This can be presented as a pilot program to enhance hero response times by delegating tasks to unaffiliated agencies that are in proximity to incidents. Naturally, we will participate in mission assignments like everyone else. Regarding recruits, I am aware that many are rejected annually; I will independently s

    Luna slowly released her grip, her eyes still burning with fury as she stepped back. Arome coughed and straightened his jacket, his expression unreadable. Kemi's presence was a reminder of the delicate balance they all walked, a balance that could tip into chaos with the slightest provocation."Luna," Arome said, his voice low and strained, "I understand your anger. But this is bigger than any of us. Bayo's actions and his existence can jeopardize everything I’ve worked for. And all of that is to pay him back for what he and his side of the family had done to me… what they did to my father. You and your sister are crucial to my mission, whether you like it or not. And that mission, is most certainly revenge, but at the end of it all, is to crate the greatest hero the world has ever seen, one that would shine so bright the moniker of the star lion would be buried so deep under it’s halo."Luna's jaw tightened, but she didn't respond. Instead, she turned on her heel and walked away, he

    Convincing The twins to come along was easier said than done, but necessity required she do so. After all she also had nothing more than what was on her. So they went to the most fancy store, where Arome made sure everyone got suits. It was annoying for the others as no one else had his obsession for suits and looking slick and clean, but never the less, he got enough suits to fill a closet. Then he was the one dragged as the ladies got what they wanted. Commander Kemi and the twins went all out. By the time they were done getting clothes, Arome’s back account already had a slight dent to it.After that he visited a bank where he quickly opened up accounts for the twins and for Rowan. And then he left a sizable amount of money in there for them, their first bonuses from working with him. Then moving forwards they bought two new armored SUV’s. The car could only do so much when it came protecting them against attacks from powered individuals, but it could at least stop bullets and RPGS

    The sun dipped low on the horizon as the convoy of SUVs wound its way through the narrow, labyrinthine streets of the Old District. The area, once teeming with life and industry, now lay in a state of decrepit grandeur, its cobblestone streets and abandoned warehouses reminiscent of a bygone era. Shadows stretched long and dark, casting an eerie pallor over the proceedings.Arome's mind raced with thoughts of the impending meeting. The Mechanic, Marius Demetrius, was a man shrouded in infamy and legend. Convincing him to join their cause would be no small feat, but Arome was determined. This was his chance to carve out his own legacy, to prove that he could succeed without the Star Lion power that had defined his family's history.As they approached their destination, the dilapidated exterior of a once-grand building loomed into view. Faded advertisements and graffiti adorned its walls, while the guttural hum of machinery echoed from within. The convoy came to a halt, and Arome took a

    Arome had a tired look on his face when he finally made his way outside of Demetrius’s office. Honestly by this point he would have preferred if the man had captured them. Instead, he had grilled Arome about his plans, what he really wanted to do and h0w he was going to go about it. It was not a bad talk, and frankly speaking it was something that Arome desperately needed. The world he was about to step into was one that he had always been a part of, but always as a pawn and never as a player. This was the time when all of that would finally change, if he did not want to be chewed up or bullied by the larger sharks, a man with his expertise was needed.“Are you done? You have been there for over an hour, and I am bored out of my mine, and I’m also hungry so are we goi g to get dinner?” Luna asked the moment he stepped out of Demetirus’s office. He looked at her for a moment contemplating whether to answer her or just ignore her instead. After what she and Astra had pulled off with the

    Arome crashed to the ground in a pool of his own blood. Severance burst into a wild and raucous laughter as he spread his arms wide. He turned hoping to find the look of despair he was so overly fond of, etched in the faces of Arome’s comrades. Instead, he watched wide eyes as they systematically dismantled the force he came with, his eyes drawn to the way Luna literally turned the bodies of his allies inside out. It was a scene that spoke to him and shook him to his very core. He took a step back, watching as the last of his allies were either subdued or killed. Leaving him alone against the rest of them.“I would advise you to run, your leader, Mr. prince has already fallen to me. He’s dead, cut into pieces like the animal that he is. But I welcome you all to try and face me, it would bring me so much pleasure to sever you from your bonds on this earth. And you!” he turned to Look at Luna who had taken a seat and was looking at him with one leg crossed over the other. Her pitch-blac

  • Severance Vs The White Lion I

    Arome stared at Severance as the super villain looked right back at him. There was an obvious tension in the air as both men were waiting for the other to make the first move. Arome was not stupid, he knew he had to be extremely careful when it came to Severance, his power was the sort that could not be dealt with in a straight forward manner. Arome inclined his head towards the katana that Severance held as he asked.“Do you know how to use that?” he asked as he turned and nodded to Aminu. Who gave him a bow and pulled up the case holding Arome’s own sword from under the bar’s counter. Severance raised an eyebrow. “What?, you want to have some sort of sword duel with me or something. I should warn you, I am a lot more dangerous than you think I am, you can not match me in a fight with blades, I will tear you to shreds.” Arome scoffed as he nodded his head.“That may be so, but you’re still going to be the one that ends up dead. So answer my question, do you know how to use that?” A

  • Arrival

    Arome sat in his modest room, the flickering glow of the television casting long shadows across the room. The news anchor's voice was solemn, relaying the chilling details of another brutal attack in the heart of the city. "Authorities have confirmed that the notorious villain known as Severance has struck again, leaving a trail of chaos and death in his wake. The latest incident occurred late last night in an abandoned apartment complex, where several high-profile criminal figures were found dead along with their families. Witnesses report seeing a lone figure, wielding a katana, moving through the area with lethal precision. The police are urging citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity." Arome sighed, his mind racing with thoughts of the relentless killer who seemed to evade capture at every turn. He knew that Severance was no ordinary criminal; his methods were too refined, too calculated. This was a predator with a purpose, and it was becoming increasingly

  • Excitement For Bloodshed

    Mayor Akiko's office was bathed in the dim glow of the city lights that filtered through the tall windows. She stood by her desk, her silhouette sharp against the backdrop of the sprawling metropolis. With a quick, decisive motion, she picked up the phone and dialed Severance’s number.The phone rang only once before Severance answered, his voice a deep rumble. "Severance here.""Severance, we have a situation that requires immediate action," Akiko's voice was calm, each word meticulously chosen. "Prince Arome and his companions cannot be allowed to continue their operations. They have become a thorn in our side, one that must be removed.""Understood, Mother," Severance replied, his tone firm and resolute.Akiko's expression tightened at the term, but she pressed on. "The club is their stronghold," Akiko explained, her fingers tapping rhythmically on the desk. "It’s heavily guarded, but we have the element of surprise. Gather Zhang and his crew. I want this done swiftly and efficient

  • Rage

    The air in the mayor's office was thick with tension, a storm brewing just beneath the surface. Mayor Akiko stood behind her grand oak desk, her eyes blazing with fury. The veins on her neck and temples were visibly pulsing as her rage reached a crescendo. This was not the composed, calculating politician the city knew; this was a woman on the edge, a force of nature about to unleash her wrath.With a primal scream, Akiko's hands swept across the desk, sending papers, files, and ornaments crashing to the floor. The sound of breaking glass echoed through the room as picture frames and trinkets shattered against the walls. Her once immaculate office was rapidly transforming into a scene of chaos and destruction.She grabbed the edge of the desk and overturned it with a roar, the heavy wood slamming onto its side. The sheer force of her anger seemed to reverberate through the room, shaking the very foundations of the building. Bookshelves were next to face her wrath, their contents spill

  • Confessions In A Meeting

    Arome took a deep breath, trying to steady the whirlpool of emotions that Luna had stirred within him. He could still feel the phantom touch of her lips, the fiery imprint of her slap, and the tantalizing promise in her words. It was maddening, this dance of desire and duty. He knew he had to focus, to clear his mind and prepare for the dinner. There were important matters to discuss, yet his thoughts kept circling back to the twins.He stood up, his body tense with unresolved need, and made his way to his quarters. The room was sparse, almost utilitarian, a stark contrast to the opulence he had been accustomed to as a prince. He began to strip off his gear, his movements automatic and efficient, honed by years of military discipline. The familiar routine helped to ground him, to bring some semblance of order to his chaotic thoughts.As he changed into more casual attire, his mind wandered again to Astra. Sweet, gentle Astra who had endured so much. The thought of her suffering stirre

  • Passion

    Arome woke up with a headache, this was the last time he was going to use his head to stop a punch. When Berth and Bertha and told him that he could use his head to smash a hole through walls, he had gotten the idea into his head that he had a skull that could smash through anything. Unfortunately he has had to learn his lessons the hard way, so no more stopping super powered punches with his head. He tried to get up, hit he immediately felt a weight on his right side, he turned to see that Astra had fallen asleep on his shoulder. He frowned, not because he was not happy about the situation, but because he could tell she was having a nightmare. The way she shook and whispered to herself, and the way her hands grabbed onto his suit.Instead of moving away he pulled her closer, his hands moving through her hair. It was silky smooth, and considering both sisters had locks of curly hair that fell in waves on their head, it was surprisingly easy to run his hands through those locks. Arome

  • Feelings

    When Demetrius showed up with an unconscious Arome, Astra and the temple guard siblings felt their hearts jump into their throats.“What happened to him?” Astra asked, almost immediately a tendril of dark energy seemed to waft of her body, clinging to her form like the haze of a mirage. Almost instantly everyone around her felt a little bit sick, even Demetrius could not withstand the force of Astra’s power.“Calm down, the fool gave himself a concussion when he decided to use his head to stop a punch form a super that can turn her entire body to metal. He passed out on the way here. His power should have him back up and causing trouble as usual in a few hours. In the main time he needs rest, while the rest of us must prepare for the scenario of retaliation from the police captain and the mayor f the city.” Rowan said as he moved past everyone not even flinching from the feel of Astra’s dark matter power.“How can you be, okay?” Amina could not help but ask, a sheen of sweat covering

  • Mayor Akiko Zhang

    Arome chuckled. The plot thicken I guess, seems the big boss heard I paid her brother a visit. Arome smiled underneath his helm, as it stands, he no longer needed any proof that the police captain, and his wife the mayor of San-Franmikyo had significant connections with Severance. But still Arome doubted Akiko Zhang was here to confess her sins. In fact, considering the way she was glaring at him, she wanted nothing more than to put a bullet through his head.“Where is my brother? What have you done with him?” she asked, her tone showing that she wanted nothing more than the answers she required.“The old man got away? Good for him. It doesn’t matter how good it looked or was furnished; a prison is still a prison. And I don’t think it’s fair you would lock the old man up when all he did was raise your psychotic sword wielding illegitimate child!” the atmosphere in the room went cold as Akiko’s eyes widened in shock. If they widened any wider, Arome was sure her eyes would pop out of
