It did not take more than ten minutes for Arome to awaken, he didn't know if it was because of the same reason Rowan had given about him being exhausted after so many deaths, but it was annoying this time around. Healing from a bullet wound to the head was weird, and frankly speaking it was not something that Arome wanted to ever experience again. He grunted, the sound of an explosion echoing in the background. He groaned as he turned over, his new clothes stained with his own blood as he arose with vengeance an anger in his face. Luna was there with him; she had a worried look on her face that Arome quickly brushed off. He did not want anyone looking at like that, with so much pity in their eyes it was sickening. There was nothing for to worry about, he was completely fine, but the same could not be said for the assassins responsible for the attack. With Kemi focusing on their leader, Aliyu made short work of the rest of them. Even as Arome was getting up, he could see the temple gua

THE GRAND STATES OF MERICAUNCH HEADQUARTERS 1ST STREET BOULEVARD, NEW DESTINY The man could not believe his ears, he turned looking from one end of the table to the next, shocked at the level of stupidity it seems the younger generation had. The Secretary of the UNCH was a hard man. He was the last of the old guards and it was such a stress having to keep a stranglehold on his power when he had to deal with young upstarts who felt that they could do his job better than he could. Now they have gone and dropped this collosal level of bullshit on his table and left it for him to clean up. He turned to his left where the chancellor of the Nubian continent sat with a rather ponderous look on his face. The man should be privy to anything heroes from that part of the world did, so there was no way he was not aware of the stupidity Star Lion had just done. “It doesn’t matter how hard you look at Mr. Secretary, I have no answers for you. But I will admit I have been lax in my control and o

Daylight did not exactly bring him the peace that he was looking for, but nevertheless, there was just something rejuvenating about waking up in the morning and feeling like a brand-new person. With the confusions and dram of the previous day over, even with the loss that the Temple Guard had incurred, Arome was looking forward to what he could achieve as a manager. But first he would have to deal with the people coming over to see him today. But as it stands, he did not think that there was anything that could possibly spoil his good mood...well until he laid eyes on Astra... As if he was the most revolting being on earth, the moment she saw him, she retreated letting Luna come out who had no qualms in showing Arome just how lowly she thought of him. Well, they were free to think whatever the hell they wanted to think, it was not as if their opinions mattered to him. They were no more than clients, of course they were clients that were bound to him till the end of their lives but st

“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

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.
