The door slides open and a young woman walks into a large office with a wide view of the North side of the city.
An Elf sits at his desk reading some documents on his screen, he is completely focused, almost as if his life depended on it.
"Mr. livE, sorry to disturb you but there is a disturbance in the building ",Nora said.
"Let the guards handle it", Howard responds sharply without looking away from his work.
"Unfortunately they have been.... disposed of",Nora replies shyly.
Howard pauses for a moment, He then looks up at Nora with an expression that sends chills down her spine.
"Is this the work of mages ?", Howard asks.
"No sir, it is the group that deems Nobility their enemy" she replied.
Howard rises from his seat and strides toward the door, Nora steps aside and follows closely behind Him.
He steps into the reception room and suddenly stands still, he closes his eyes and focuses on his hearing. "There are five heavily armed men in the elevator, it seems they have underestimated me. Perfect." Howard says with a smile.
A few seconds later, the elevator comes to stop in the reception room. There door opens to reveal five heavily armed men who rush out immediately to surround Nora and Howard."Get on your knees and put your hands behind your head, we have anti-magic armour so none of your attacks will work, surrender peacefully" said the leader of the team.
Howard replied "Apart from the leader of this team, the rest of you should Line up and shoot your selves in the head one by one."
The soldiers quietly complied with his command and formed a line in front of Howard but before they begun to shoot themselves Howard turned to Nora and said "It would be best if you look away for now"
She obeys him and looks away while the men shoot themselves one by one and one by one they dropped to the ground with a thud.
The leader of the team stood frozen like a statue, he was aware of everything going on but could not move a muscle, he couldn't even make a shocked expression because of the spell he was under." Nora, call the clean up crew to take care of this and instruct the back up security to interrogate their leader and tell them to increase security measures on the first floor reception."Howard commanded.
"Ye yes sir" Nora replied with her trembling voice as she stared in horror at the mostly brainless men on the floor.
Nora rushes to the toilets as Howard returns to his office. She finds a vacant water closet and vomits in it. After cleaning her mouth in the sink she looks into the mirror at her still terrified face "Why am I still here?" she asked herself.
