Darius had finished the diary, and everything he learned from it, as well as the names, didn't make sense to him. Not in the slightest way possible, but he understood that there was something that tied everything together. He had called a meeting with Luther and Cho, knowing they were looking for answers and that it would lead them to something helpful. They needed to make sure that no stone was left unturned. "The man we took from that production room is still unconscious; too bad he killed the last man before we had a chance to get him to tell us who the corporate was." Luther cursed, he still didn't feel happy knowing that they had lost someone who would have helped them a bit. "Either way, we were still going to kill him; I mean, there was no way we would have let someone that vile keep living after seeing what he is capable of doing to others." Cho spoke up, trying to get his ally to calm down. He knew better than anyone else that Luther wouldn't be able to let something li

The Akayaza had summoned the Five Warlords. Given the troubles that had plagued Thalos, nothing could have prepared them for that meeting, even though they knew it was bound to happen sooner or later. "Given the circumstances, I don't know if they are going to let anything slide easily..." Veritas spoke, trying to act like he was not going to be touched by the recent plagues of terror that covered everything. "I'd say, there have been openings from every angle, and I haven't been able to get my hands on any potential buyer of the drug in the past few days." Hortio sounded a bit pissed off; he didn't have much to work with, especially with his brother still on edge. "Is the only thing you think about money?" Baron muttered, glaring at Hortio, who seemed to be zoned out, trying to figure out what was going to happen next. As the seats rumbled with more trouble, Sable was the only one who didn't speak. He was absorbed in trying to get things to work normally so he could find the p

Darius was a bit surprised, but knowing Amara, it had to be something important to her if she was willing to tell him. “What might it be?” he asked, trying to see if it was something he could do, or maybe something he couldn't even think of going through with. Amara was silent, knowing that she was about to cross a line that seemed rather thin. “Well, my mother is not going to be able to help with the company duties, and if she's out of the picture even for a little time. My uncles are going to try to vote her out of it; they have been trying for years now.” Amara paused, looking down as her finger fidgeted.“I need your help making sure that they aren't going to take my mother's hard work…” She lifted her head, but her eyes were still down, trying to avoid looking Darius in the eye. Darius tilted his head. He thought it would be harder, but this was the opportunity Luther told him they needed: to make sure there wouldn't be any problem tracking down the man named Kade. “Tell m

Urter wasn’t prepared to deal with Katalina or the fact that she brought Darius with her. ‘What in the world is she thinking?!’ Amara couldn't believe her eyes; she moved to her mother, trying to see if it was real. “Mom?” she called out, trying to see if she could hold her. Katalina opened her arms and pulled her daughter close. “Yes, it's me.” Amara couldn't hold in the tears; she felt weak trying to deal with Urter and those other men on her own. “I did my best, but I was still about to lose it.” Amara never understood what her mother would always tell her about the world she was preparing her for. “I could have lost everything; I'm not—” “You don't need to cry,” Katalina said, smiling and holding her closely. “Sorry to be asleep all this time; don't worry, I will make sure that nothing will be lost.” Katalina looked up; the men in front of them weren't even trying to hide their intent to side with Urter. ‘I don't know what he told them, but there has to be a way to ma

Even if they were to say it out loud, there wasn't any way to explain what it might mean for someone like Darius to partner with Katalina and what it meant for the company in all ways. It would show that they were getting their hands into something vaster than they could imagine. Urter knew what she was trying to do and what it was going to bring them; there wasn't going to be any way out of the predicament they were placed in, and it was far beyond what they were trying to believe. “If he is here, does that mean he is trying to pay the bidding price of two billion? Why would he do something like that? There isn't a reason for him to even get his hands involved in anything that has to do with our company?!” Ureter was looking at them; the young lad standing behind Katalina was something else. He had seen him at the Pendragon house the day earlier, and he didn't even pay attention to the man, believing that it was a waste of time if he was to put his head into something like that.
