Atlas City was a top tier city brimming with near endless opportunities due to being a beacon that often attracted the attention of top dogs globally. And over the past decade, the city enjoyed a favorable boost in the real estate and raw resource market to the point where every business mogul both far and wide wanted to have a slice of this particular 'cake'

However although the city was a business hotspot, it lacked a sense of community due to the fact that seventy percent of its residents were investors and moguls with only a small fraction being the city's original indigenous settlers ; at least the select few who refused to be bought out of their homes by the foreign deep pockets. As such all year round the city only ever enjoyed three special events and one of them was the Founders Gala!

Hall Of Nines.. For as long as one could remember, this had always been the venue of the Founders Gala ever since the concept was birthed and on a specific date in the calender, the premises

    "Are you having a good time?" James was halfway through his glass of champagne when he felt Charlotte's presence behind him. "Do you want a honest answer or a load of sugar coating?" turning around, he flashed her a smile. "Do I even want to hear about it?" Charlotte chuckled. However her expression soon went serious. "You know if you want to leave now I won't be offended" "Are you kidding? coming here was mostly my idea.." completely downing down the content of his glass of champagne, James fluidly placed it atop the tray of a a female party waitress passing by.. Clang! Clang! All heads immediately turned towards a particular table. Besides the table was a middle aged man clad in a neat tux with silver brows. On his left grip was an empty glass of champagne and on his right grip was a small spoon he was using to pound on the champagne glass. Recognizing the identity of the middle aged man who appeared to be deliberately attracting attention to his table, the several Founder

    "Achou!" James suddenly balled his fist as he placed it across his lips to block out a sudden sneeze. "Are you feeling cold.. Boss?" standing besides him, Da Plutos blurted out curiously. "I'm fine.." while speaking, James casted his eyes towards the sun in the sky, whose radiance was starting to dim. "Are you sure you informed them?" he couldn't help but inquire. "Yes Boss.." Da Plutos expression went sullen when he noticed none of the gang leaders he reached out to were anywhere in sight."It's alright. I wanted to do things in a civilized manner.." "Are we going to attack them and put them in their place?" Da Plutos suddenly blurted out a suggestion. "What? of course not.." James shook his head in disagreement. "Although what I plan on doing requires their co-operation.. I never said it was of high necessity. Just you would be fine.." James explained completely unbothered that the gang leaders stood up his invitation. "However.." he added. "The promise I made to you still

    The next day, James embarked on a little trip out of New Sensation Villa while riding a brand new blue colored scooter. It wasn't like he was trying to be low-key or anything but James had never actually handled the wheels of a vehicle.. scooters and bicycles were his go-to method of transportation. Half an hour later, James was no longer in the urbanized district of New Sensations villa but was now in the ghetto underprivileged area of Yellow Bottoms; the district where he lived for most of the childhood he could remember. "Hmm.." he mused as he observed the dirty sewage lining that corners of the street. It was unknown what was going on in his mind. "Master Stefflon?" a slightly panicked voice echoed from behind him. "Oh?" looking over his shoulders, James noticed a fidgeting figure standing besides a rusty old pick-up truck. Surprisingly the fidgety figure was actually the lead Thug hired by Sebastian to bully his mother and drive her out from Atlas City. However currently th

    "You!!" upon hearing Diego's slanderous accusations, the scrawny staff immediately shot James a sharp glare. "Is Mr. Sebastian speaking the truth?! you better answer me truthfully!" James scoffed. From the current reaction he was getting from the other party, nothing he would say will hold any tangible weight. The other party was obviously trying to curry some favors with Diego's family so he was more or less guilty in the perspective of the scrawny staff member. "Mr. Ian. You shouldn't lose your cool. If this kitchen boy is as guilty then perhaps you need to resolve this in a more.. private location?" Diego shamelessly tried playing peacemaker. "I apologize" Mr. Ian gave James another sharp look as he made a grabbing motion towards his shoulders. However James easily stepped back, causing the other party to grab empty air. His actions infuriated Mr. Ian even more. "You cheeky bastard! what do you think you are doing?!" The charitable Mr. Sebastian is obviously trying to give

    Diego and Becca had just stepped into the first floor of Six Serenades Restaurant, when their taste buds began to water, thanks to the fragrant smell that hung in the air. Diego was in the midst of scanning the place to find an empty table when his brows suddenly shot up in unexpected surprise. "Honey, isn't that your ex husband?" his lips curved. "Huh?" Becca's eyes trailed over where Diego was looking at and her heart nearly skipped a bit. Currently, James and Charlotte were descending the stairs that led to the upper floor of the restaurant, enamored in a quiet conversation amongst themselves. Every once in a while, James would say something funny, causing Charlotte to release a peal of laughter that sounded pleasing to the ears. Seeing James being so cozy with another woman, Becca found her heart drumming loudly and a strange ache began to appear. "I-- let's leave them.." she forced herself not to show too much emotions. She was now married to a high socialite.. James was
