Tucked away in the east side of the capital, is a high-tier city, Roya, which is also nearest to the capital Hoshimi.

In the end, opposite the entrance to the city, stood a sprawling mansion, in its majestic splendour, a sight to behold. It was home to the Turran Family, close relatives of the royal family, who ran the city with an iron fist. At their head was the Chief General, Harrison Turran – a wise and mighty leader.

.....

Beneath him served five military majors, all of whom had close ties to the Turran Family. Two of them were Harrison’s own sons, Lorren and Auris, while the other three were his son-in-laws. Auris, the youngest of the Turran sons, was the boldest and most outspoken.

It was Auris who questioned his father when an unknown man suddenly approached their family, asking to form an alliance. Though Harrison had already done some research on him and his people, Auris remained concerned.

“Father, are you sure that it’s safe to trust them? We don’t know them. Maybe we should be wary?” he asked, his voice full of doubt.

His father opened his eyes, looking at Auris with appreciation. He handed him a folder and said, “Auris, I’ve already done the necessary background checks. No need to worry.”

Inside the folder was a detailed analysis of the unknown man and his people – a testament to Harrison’s foresight. He had placed spies among them, gathering information even before the man had arrived at their doorstep.

Auris was both astounded and impressed at his father’s authority and ability to ensure their family and people were safe. After mustering up the courage to ask his father what should be done with the NHC people, Old Harrison declared that they should be eliminated.

“Alright, I will inform my third brother-in-law to take care of this task. Anything else, father?” Auris asked, looking to his father for further instructions.

“Yes, also give our reply to Mr. Erick Dahl that we accept his proposal to form an alliance. Ask them for their plan and how they intend to execute it.” Old Harrison nodded and was about to send his son on his way when he remembered the earlier matter. He instructed Auris on how to deal with the situation and sent him off with a bow.

Auris left his father in the peace and quiet he needed to recuperate from his fatigue. He was grateful to have such a wise and noble leader in his family, one who could ensure their safety and well-being. With a newfound determination, Auris set off to fulfill his father’s orders.

“Erick Dahl, who are you really? Where did you come from? I just hope your arrival might change our hopeless situation!” Harrison muttered as he stood up and looked outside from the window, the sun rays giving the last of warmth of the day before darkness descended to welcome the arrival of night.

…..

Next day,

At the Miami branch of The Bank,

“Hello, Mr. Erick, and thank you for coming here. I have good news for you; Boss has agreed to your proposal and has asked you to send him your plan details and what you need as support!” Mr. Nellore, the manager of the Miami branch, bowed respectfully toward Erick Dahl and welcomed him inside his office, while immediately starting to tell Erick the good news with a happy smile.

“Ohh! That’s great, thanks for the help, Mr. Nellore! Here I have already prepared the detailed plan, and what we need for support is mentioned in it; have them prepared as soon as possible!” Erick smiled, hearing the news. Before coming he thought he would need to meet the person in charge to make them agree to his plan, but it looks like there is someone intelligent and insightful behind these guys.

Erick motioned Leader Shun to hand over the file in which the details of the plan and other things had been written beforehand. Erick had already discussed this with everyone, and after listening to the insights of others, had come up with the details.

“It was my pleasure, Mr. Erick,” Manager Nellore said with a gentle smile and a bow of full respect. “Please feel free to call on me if you need any help. I will be more than happy to assist, if I can.”

Erick smiled in appreciation, before bidding a fond farewell. Then they began to go back to the Rhamnusia Training Facility.

“Should I send out a summons for the briefing?” Leader Shun asked, putting on a jubilant expression now that Erick’s plan appeared to be progressing smoothly.

“Yes, summon only the first-generation elites,” Erick hummed in thought, “and you five, get ready for the departure. Soren will be responsible for the safety of this city and the area surrounding it.”

And so, Leader Shun took his leave and went on to inform everyone, while Erick went towards their training facility.

…..

Back at Turran Family grounds,

“Third brother-in-law, what on earth happened here to cause you such grievous injury and the loss of your loyal men?!” Auris stood near the bedside of the heavily injured man, watching on with aghast as the beat doctors worked to stabilise the man’s condition.

A weak, gruff voice answered him. “You must inform Father, otherwise, if we leave those accursed bastards any more room to operate, they will become a scourge upon us!”

“Yes, I shall. But tell me, what are the details of this situation?” Auris asked, and in response he was handed a microchip by one of the doctors. A knowing spark lit in Auris’s eye – he fully comprehended the importance of this information.

“Go now, and rest easy. Leave this matter to me to solve!” He said to the third brother-in-law, who visibly relaxed and closed his eyes. Turning away from the bedside, Auris instructed the doctors and nurses to take good care of him, and then set off to inform his father of the events.

A deep, determined voice spoke as he left. “I promised my third brother-in-law I would exact revenge on his behalf!” Clenching his fist and gripping the microchip tightly in his other hand, Auris was determined to uncover the truth of what had occurred – to see his brother-in-law and his men avenged.
