Giorno entered the architect's office as if it were her house, the receptionist tried to stop him, but curiously and to her surprise the architect did not complain
- Lord of Santoro welcome
The woman still looked very beaten, he smiled to himself, however the sound of the TV caught his attention, a huge 80-inch monitor built into the wall showed the news, what caught Giorno's attention was that they were talking and they showed a place that was curiously familiar
- The incident - said a journalist narrating the events - occurred late yesterday at night, several unknown men had entered the sale and after torturing its owner they murdered him, the most suspicious thing is that they did not take anything of value, not even money ...
- "That is the sale where I sold the things of those thugs" thought Giorno, then he remembered the attitude of the owner of that place before the clock, but he had not been the only one, the mayor also seemed to react in a very evident way when he saw it. To think that this was a mere coincidence would be very careless, so he decided to take it off when he was alone, doing it at that moment would attract attention, he would only try to make no one else see it while he could take it off. It was not a good idea to walk around with him exhibiting it, until you got more information on the facts.
- And to what do I owe your visit, Mister of Santoro?
She spoke the architect upon seeing Giorno enraptured by the news
- "You can call me Giorno," he answered, turning around and looking into her eyes ", after all we are partners.
- You are wrong - said the woman curtly - let's say that he is still in the 15 day trial, where he promised to sell the entire project using only 2% of the budget, in other words, you are not my partner yet
- In fact, that's what I come to talk to you about
The woman smiled to herself, so after all the great Lord of Santoro & Vega had reconsidered and realized how impossible him claim to sell everything in 15 days and without a budget.
- "Please go ahead," she said almost in a mocking tone, anxious to know what he would say next, some crazy plan, or will he just give up?
Giorno took out a glass bottle with a reddish liquid from him suitcase and said
- I will give you the exact instructions on how to invest 2% of the budget, just do what I tell you and see how you sell everything in less than 15 days
Yumiko didn't know whether to laugh or get angry, even though he was a friend of the mayor, one thing was to lobby and another was to sell more than 20 million dollars in apartments in just 15 days, besides what the hell was that drink? catalog sale? That didn't matter, she wanted to hear the brilliant and revolutionary ideas of that guy
- Well, illustrate me! What should I do Mister of Santoro?
- A party
- What?
- What you heard, I adapted a space of the construction for a masquerade party, I want you to invite the richest families in the city
- "Oh, but how novel" - the architect thought sarcastically to herself, "Do you think that with a party you can sell an entire building? Poor deluded"
Giorno continued as she put the flask on the table and brought it closer to Yumiko.
- But it is important that you invite the oldest and sickest of these families, provide them everything they need to move, including doctors if it is necessary. In the invitations please emphasize that it will be an event like you have never experienced.
- What do you mean? Yumiko asked now confused, was she thinking of cheat a group of elders? She couldn't risk insulting the patriarchs of the most powerful families in the city, she continued to ask - are you planning to do a magic show?
- You'll see, - answered Giorno, staring at her - two more things: first, the party must be in 10 days, do not forget that the mayor will be a special guest and second, increase the value of the apartments ten times
- What? - the woman she was so startled that when she moved carelessly she felt incredible pain-he is crazy! Who would pay so much for an apartment in this sector?
Giorno laughed out loud at the reaction of the woman, who until now had completely ignored her bottle in front of her
- In a few minutes - Giorno said with a smile that bordered on the unhinged and a flame of passion in his eyes slapped the architect's desk frightening her by her actions - not only will he understand that I can sell those apartments even at 10 times more than their real value, if not a hundred or a thousand times their value and still they would fight to buy them.
Yumico was tempted to call security, without a doubt that guy was completely crazy, but she wanted to hear what other nonsense he could say
- Not only the richest people in the city, but the whole world will want one of those apartments, even if they had to give up their entire fortune to acquire it
- Okay Mr. of Santoro - said the architect, trying to regain control of the situation. - Could you tell me why would they pay ten, a hundred or a thousand times the value of an apartment?"
- The reason is in front of you - Giorno took the glass bottle, opened it and then extended it to the architect - drink a little and you will understand
- I will not drink or crazy - said the woman curtly - surely it is a new drug and wants to involve me in its traffic
The woman raised her hand to her forehead, regretting the day she had become involved with that subject, while Giorno insisted that she drink, which she would not do.
Giorno knew that it was very likely that she would reject him, so he had come prepared, took a scalpel from her suitcase, opened her hand and cut it.
The blood fell on the desk before the horrified look of Yumico, who without hesitation called security, without a doubt that man was crazy.
However, Giorno calmly and without closing his hand took the bottle and drank a little, in just a second Giorno's wound closed before the woman's eyes, who did not understand what was happening
- If you drink this liquid - said Giorno - you will understand for yourself what I am talking about, I can promise you.
Ok, the trick had been good, he didn't know how he had done it, but he knew that it was not impossible to do something like that with fake blood bags or some cheap magic trick.
But she was curious, what is she supposed to understand by drinking from that bottle? Anyway, her private escort would be in the office in a few seconds, if they saw her drugged, passed out or in some kind of problem they would help her immediately, she decided to take a chance and try that liquid.
She took the bottle from Giorno's hand and took a small sip, felt her body shudder and immediately afterwards all the pains that even the strongest painkillers did not eliminate disappeared, she drank a little more, and what happened left her speechless, her scars , wounds and bruises left by the crash of their car vanished as if they had never been
- But what the hell... - At that moment the door was thrown open and several armed men entered the office, immediately pointed at Giorno, who simply raised his hands with a smile in surrender
- Stay there!
One of the men roared, who quickly grabbed Giorno by the his arm and with a jiu jitsu movement threw Giorno violently to the ground and pinned him.
- But what the hell are you doing?!
Yumico yelled at the guard, he rushed at top speed to help Giorno by pushing the guard away from him.
While he was thinking about where that bottle came from, for his shoulder dislocated from his, his battered ankle, even his broken arm had been completely healed.
- But miss - said the guard completely confused
- What are you crazy? Yumico yelled at him - How dare you treat my partner like that!
_____________________________________________________
A man dressed in a suit and black glasses found himself sitting on a chair in front of an old dojo, he looked at a document in his hand, the photograph of Aron, the new boyfriend of Giorno's ex, appeared in the document.
-Aron Dalí - said the man reading to himself aloud - mixed martial arts champion, his career was ruined by not losing a fixed fight - the subject laughed to himself - it couldn't be more cliché
A man approached him, dressed like someone normal wearing a cap and discreetly told him
- No matter how champion he is, he will not be able to evade a bullet
- Are you an idiot? - Said the one in black - do you think the bullets work? In this world and in the next, the only thing that matters is your own power, I will show you how to defeat a former martial arts champion using only one hand
The man in a suit stood up and crossed the street straight to the dojo, there were not many martial artists who had fallen into "disgrace" or were destitute, in fact, the only martial artist in the entire country who met those characteristics was the owner from that old dojo.
Upon entering the dojo, he noticed that, despite being old, everything was extremely well cared for, he saw the subject he was going to kill and walked towards him, but the door through which he had just entered opened again, a woman and a girl entered, the girl ran towards the owner of the dojo, who picked her up and turned her around, the woman greeted him politely as he passed by, then the woman tenderly kissed the owner of the Dojo
The subject cursed to himself, if there were two things that he hated with all his soul it was killing women or children and now he should do both on the same day.
