The Thalos Central Ball...It was clear to everyone that the party wasnt something that lower-class people would attend. It was meant to keep everyone at bay and ensure only the wealthy would bring themselves to the light. Amara arrived with Katalina, and it looked like they were in the wrong place; from what it felt like, nobody could tell what would happen in the next minute, knowing they were bound to get their heads thrown into something that didnt feel right in any way. "I know that this party is something important to the course of the company; there isnt anything that I can hold as enough reason to show up there." Amara was trying to make sure she could get out of the party. It didn't feel right; she was only there because Darius had told her something was about to happen, and it would help the Vermillion groups. "Amara, you need to make sure that there isn't anything that would be a problem for you in the near future." Katalina was trying to make sure nothing would throw

Darius and Cho didn't wait another minute, making sure they understood everything before doing anything. "If they are planning on attacking the party, then their first line of action would be to make sure that the perimeters are sealed..." Darius spoke as Cho drove; they weren't sure what was going on at the party. He had seen the venue for the party, and everything looked like they'd be trapped if anything happened. "It already shows us that the party organizers are part of the people who wish to take the founding member; if there isn't a clear opening for people to get away, then it means that they are locked within the…”Cho pauses; he knows there's nothing further that could give them a clear analysis of the moment. Darius looked at the venue setup, and it was unclear to him why it sometimes looked even odder. "Cho, when you look at it from this side, you can see that it looks like they are trying to change the security formation..."Darius saw open places and others that lo

Darius was about to grab the woman when he felt a second pull, and it felt like something else. He turned around to see if he could spot the person who had cursed the pull that had taken him by surprise. He stood there, trying to control his energy and find the person trying to throw him off. He was about to move when he felt something strange behind him; someone was trying to attack him from behind. He almost didn't pinpoint it, but now he did, and he found where the person stood. "This isnt the best thing to do when you have no idea what kind of foe you are trying to kill."He turned to see a man wearing a masquerade mask, and a strange look and aura came from the man facing him. "Now this isn't how I wanted to meet the man who killed Gero and the seventy-seven..." The man spoke as he pulled closer to Darius; his voice seemed a bit off. Darius didn't budge; the man was something strong. But he wasnt a monster like Leon or Meliodas, so he wasnt going to be running from someone

Katalina stood silent; many questions weighed on her mind as she stared at Urter. "You have no right to speak to me that way, even if Mother knows why-" "Knows why?" Urter raised his brow, looking at the woman in front of him as he shook his head, trying to control the thoughts that were flooding his brain. Urter looked at her like something was wrong with her head; it wasnt made clear why they would even think to hide Amara's father's origin, or what they were trying to make sure didnt break loose in the family. "I dont even know what you think you can get with that thinking of yours; you hid something about her. You believed there wasn't a chance the truth would come out. It only shows that you're nothing but a dirty useless-" "The next words you speak might determine if you would be able to walk out here with your jaw intact." A voice spoke from right behind them. Urter paused, turning to see who was standing there with a stern look, and it almost irritated him to even imagin

Outside the party, Darius and the man still clashed; their energies spiked, shattering several tables. People around them took cover from the two warriors; Darius did his best to keep no one in his path. But he could tell one thing from the way the man was trying to land clean hits on him. 'He's using up his energy; there isnt going to be much left for him to do.'Darius didn't waste time dashing for the man; they clashed again, and this time they weren't holding back, knowing it would be their last clash. Darius had his hands up, his eyes fixed on the man as he closed in, landing hits that sent him back. Darius didnt let him recover, knowing he'd make another mistake if he let him move that way. The last thing he wanted was to make any useless mistake that would give him the opening he was looking for; it would be hard to close it. The man lunged for Darius, trying to take his head off, but he was blocked when his leg came down on the man. "This is fun!" The man growled; there
