Chapter 20: Black Market
"When Words Fail... Action Speaks... When Action Fails... Eyes Speak... When Eyes Fail... Tears Speak... And When Everything Else Fails.. 'Silence' Speaks"
THIRD PERSON'S POV
"Where's your entrance pass, Gentlemen?" The man in a black suit asks the three of them. He wears black sunglasses, with a little bearded face. He has a 45 caliber pistol on his waist, strong and broad muscles. He was trained to fight like the men in black movie. He had three companions like him, checking and guarding the entrance.
Trevor gives three golden stubs to the man in black suit. He took the names in the stub and gasped. His hand is shaking, unable to look directly at Trevor.
"Sor-ry for my rudeness act, Mr. Dales. " The man in the black suit said. Trevor didn't bother to respond. While Aivan and Aries smirk.
'These jerks are all new here, that's why they didn't recognize us. '
'Tsk! No one can disrespect the Dark Prince ' Aries thought.
Earlier when they got out of the elevator, the men in black suit got alerted because Trevor, Aries, and Aivan are straightly walking in the Door without showing their pass. But, because of pride not knowing whom they clash with. They tried to expel the three of them using force.
"You can freely enter now, Mr. Dales, Mr. Valdimor, and Mr. Herecleos." The man in the black suit said while gesturing his hand to his companion to open the Door for their Big-time Guests. The door opens and immediately entered it. Not minding the trembled looks of the men in black suits.
Trevor was one of the most powerful and wealthiest men on Earth. He's very known, to be cruel and cold, just like how he led the Underworld.
As they walk to the Grand Hall of the Underground Base. The eyes of the other people out there are diverted to their strong presence. They took much attention, because of their perfect appeal and confidence.
The Most handsome and Hot Businessmen, "The Trio " refers to Trevor, Aivan, and Aries. And known to be the mysterious business owners, because of their unknown presence as always. But, they manage to run the business without them.
They were even surprised and almost all of them didn't see their faces in person. This is the biggest and lucky day for the people in the hall. Some of them are curious and happy. Some were flirting with them. And some were asking what is the Trio doing here in the Black Market?
'Huh, You're all lucky to witness our presence ' Aries thought being boastful running in his mind, that a lot of people praising their beauty. Specially, him.
(A/N: What a thickened face!)
Trevor went around, his gaze inside the Hall. The hall shouts pride and elegance. The crystalline chandeliers in the ceiling, the carpeted hall. The table and seating arrangement: white and red, like having a party. The center stage where the weapons and other things should be presented. An extraordinary Underground Base for a Black Market. This means, all the people inside are the richest and big-time. His gaze stops in the right corner of the stage where paintings being pinned on the wall, it caught his attention while frowning.
'Hm. This night is getting more interesting.' Trevor's thought, and grin
"Hey. " Aivan called him repeatedly, telling him to sit, but he noticed Trevor's face directly looking at the paintings. He also frowned and stiffened what he has seen.
'Oh! I smell danger, This night will be surely a bloody hell. ' Aivan's thought while smirking.
They look at each other and Nod. And got disturbed by Aries while cursing.
"What the Hell! " Aries curse while messing his hair acting frustrated. They didn't know Aries caught their attention where they're looking, that's why he cursed after seeing the painting.
'Goddammit! I thought these nights would be memorable. The heck, I hate actions. ' Aries's thought.
"What? " He irritably speaks because of their grinning faces. Like they have a plan for ruining his handsome face. They raise their brow and mocking stares at him.
'Oh no, Not this time! '
"No way! Don't tell me, My thoughts are right? " He shakes his hand not believing what they're thinking.
"Yes way, Cousin. And the plan starts with you. " Trevor coldly speaks to him that give shivers to his spine.
Aries swallowed the lump in his throat. He can't say no to what the Dark Prince order. And he was cursing to his mind. Why him? It's a dangerous move for him knowing they are in the Mortal World. Even, they are in the Realm of Mortal's, the enemies are still lingering around them.
"Don't worry, Cousin. They shouldn't know about these and never will be. It's the battle for our world, not for the Mortals. " Aivan speak.
The moment they stared at the painting, they know something isn't right inside the Hall. They thought it's just a normal Black Market, but it isn't. They can feel it and they were fooled. The powerful weapons aren't in the Hall. They hide it, only the valuable things are here in the place which do mortals crave for.
"Do it quickly. We must move and needed to find those weapons." Aivan said to Aries.
"Tsk! Okay. What should I expect from the two of you? Heist!! " Aries stretches his hand, he looks around, and when no one dared to look in their direction, he quickly disappears in front of the two princes.
The bidding started a while ago. They're just busy, planning how to divert the attention of the Mortals inside the Hall or should I say, how to make them get out without noticing the enemy.
After five minutes, Aries showed in front of them. With a relaxing look. He nods, gesturing it is done.
'Let us start the real game' Trevor smirked.
"In...

1.." Aries's counted. And every mortal gasped because of the sudden white smoke that silently exploded in the carpeted floor.
The mortals stop from moving, in an instant Aries does his next job. Came from his abilities, thirty Aries appeared in front of each mortal. Saying in Chorus :
"Get out of this Hall. Don't dare to look back, again. Go safely into your Home and forget you came here. Put into your mind, you go to the bar and got drunk while going home. " Aries's clones say in chorus to the Mortals, by looking starithly in the eyes. He cloned himself and compelled the Mortals. It's his abilities, cloning, and compelling. Only Royals are gifted to have one or more Abilities.
The mortals Nodded and said:
"Get out of here. Don't look back. Go home safely. Forget the underground base. I go to a bar and got drunk. " Each mortal says those words like it is scripted. They silently walk out of the door without looking back, they followed what Aries said like a Robot. After three minutes, the Hall got cleared from A lot of people into none of it left. Only, the three of them and their humored enemies.
Aries breathed heavily with hands-on his knees. His power got drained a little. It is a heavy job. Thirty clones and he passes his compelling ability, to each clone to do his job, at once.
"God... Cousin... I can't hold back that long. " Aivan speaks while breathing hard.
'Shit! Why I forget he stops the Time' Aries's thought. While cursing under his breath.
In a quick stance, he cloned again, but this time was different. He imitates different faces, Thirty Mortal faces, the humans he compelled lately, women or men. And three cloned faces of Trevor, Aries, and Aivan.
'Hold on Dear, Powers ' Aries's thought.
"Done. " while inhaling for Air.
"God. Trevor does your part. I can't hold on, already. " Aivan has sweat all over his face. He had difficulty controlling the time, especially when he needs to stop it. It will need a lot of energy and concentration because your enemy in here is The time.
Trevor on the other side immediately holds his cousin's hands. And by his power, he uses invisibility. Trevor, Aries, and Aivan were now invisible. And with the strong gush of wind, they found themselves in the left corner of the Hall. Trevor summoned the Dark wind to travel them. And quickly make a black with bluish barrier for the three of them.
"Now. " Trevor said with authority. Ordering Aivan to continue the time and back it to normal.
Aivan nodded and the eerie inside back to normal again. The Cloned Mortals are acting as carbon copies of each attitude of the true beholder. They saw also, their faces in the crowd, sitting at the tables as nothing happened earlier. The enemies didn't notice their quick moves, thinking that the Mortals in front of them were true humans, little did they know it's just a clone.
"Sure, thing they were stupid," Aries said, referring to their enemies.
"Hm. Don't celebrate it yet, you don't know what's running in their minds. " Aivan speaks with heavy breathing. Their energy got drained, they feel weak, but after a minute will pass their energy got restored.
"They started their moves. " Trevor said with crossed arms, not minding he uses his power to them, invisibility and a barrier. Like, it's just a little amount of power he releases. He's powerful, yet It run's to his Blood a Dark Power.
"Hello again, Dear guesses. This time we will give you all a short entertainment. " The enemy cheered to the crowd. With a grinning face.
'Fools ' Aries and Aivan grinned.
The enemy's companion walk in the center stage. First, they entertain it with a dance number. And the Mortal clones cheered for their show and clapped. After they dance, red smoke crawling on the floor.
"Showtime. " Trevor grins.
