who is Brandon Ice? I would tell you who the money lover is Brandon Ice. he was born in a poor family from a poor neighborhood. at the young age of seventeen he became the right hand of the greatest King Pin of his community. he work for him for about ten years until one day his boss was murder by an enemy King Pin which led to Brandon Ice becoming the new boss soon after every single rival on the city was eliminate.
the following years Brandon Ice wasn't just the king of that city, but he was the king of the whole state in which he lives. in a fast speed he begin to take control of the country and now he is the most powerful, influential and untouchable man in the whole world. he has no plans of taking control of the whole world because he has learn from the history books that the people who become too greedy can easily lose everything also a huge empire is weak and easily to destroy.
is because of his accomplishments that Brandon Ice has many nicknames and is well known around the whole world. one of his many nicknames is "Man of Ice" for his calculated movements and the way in which he can easily order someone to kill others or even to kill themselves. another name that was given to him for his great accomplishment of becoming the first king of the modern world is "the Urban King."
there are many details about the origins of Brandon Ice that are unknown or had been forgotten by the society. but if we talk about the modern times there is almost nothing that is kept silent because is well known that no one (well more like almost no one) has the guts to after him. there had been many idiots or psychos whom had go after his employees or associates but no one is stupid enough or crazy to intend to put a single finger on the legendary Brandon Ice.
at the moment Brandon Ice is staying in a hotel thinking about the two offers that he has at hand. Alberto Esposito and Mark C. Miller Jr. are rivals and both of them want to make a deal with Brandon Ice. in other words he has to choose one of them and trust in him to be his new partner to have control over the most important city in the whole country of Unified Factions of Amerigo (also known as UFA.)
Brandon Ice knows about the accident in the bank so the more rational choice is to accept the deal with Mark C. Miller Jr. but he doesn't trust in corrupt politicians. he is still thinking if he has to make a deal with any of them? or if just submitting them under his control is a better choice. there are many things in which he has to think like for example the cost of going against either or even both of the two organizations. in the end is more simple but not better to just take a side with one of those two devils.
someone knocks on the door of his hotel. Brandon Ice opens the door and he looks at one of his employees. the employee tells him the situation in which both sides are at the moment. Brandon Ice smiles while he recognized how convenient are things turning on his favor. he tells to his employee that he would let him on the city to monitor the movements of both sides while Brandon Ice makes sure that they destroy each other and once both organizations are gone he would take full control of Heroic City.
before his departure of the city he is going to visit Mark C. Miller Jr. and then he is going to visit Alberto Esposito, to meet them and make sure that they enter in a war with each other. his plan is so perfect that is like feeding his ego. he is congratulating himself telling his own self that there isn't anyone as intelligent and capable of leading a nation like him. he tells himself that the only reason why he haven't try go for world domination is because it would be too simple and easy that it will end with a boring tasteless feeling.
Brandon Ice takes a shower and brush his teeth before going to the meeting with Mark C. Miller Jr. and depending of this meeting he would decide if is necessary for him work on the shadows to incite the war or if he is just going to watch from the shadows how they tear each other apart, limb by limb.
is easy to say that everyone already has a picture of what type of person is Brandon Ice. to give a more clear picture of his persona I would enter in detail. he is two meters and 1/4 tall, the color of his eyes is a light brown almost in a honey tone, he always shaves his head (he doesn't like to have his hair long because it reminds him of the times in which he was a poor kid and his mother didn't have money to pay to a hair salon.)
he has two gold earrings, his voice is deep and empowered, his gaze is menacing, he has a small scar under his left eye when he first entered in power and many people got on his way. he usually lets his beard grow long and he stylizes it. finally he is a man proud of his origins, his mother always told him that his ancestors came from a place known in the past as the Congo and every time that he has the opportunity he buys relics with origins from the Congo. at the moment he has a collection so big that he opened a museum.
at this moment Brandon Ice is entering inside of a mansion. a butler guides him upstairs to the second floor. Brandon is impressed to see the type of luxurious place in which Mark C. Miller Jr. lives, he is sure that the money that pays for this house comes from the pockets of the citizens. quietly Brandon Ice enters inside of an office in which Mark C. Miller Jr. is awaiting for him.
Mark takes a box of fine cigars, he opens it and he takes a cigar that he puts on his mouth. Mark looks at Brandon and he makes a sign offering a cigar to Brandon who refuses the invitation. Brandon Ice might be a King Pin but he doesn't like smoking nor drinking liquor nor putting any other type of dangerous substance on his body. he treats his body like a temple with respect.
there is a second of silence in which Mark C. is using a lighter to light his cigar. Mark C. smokes with satisfaction as he looks with appreciation at the smoke that the cigar produces. the smell of smoke is like incense for him. that rough smell that the cigar produces is the greatest satisfaction that he can feel on his life. that smell is like the representation of freedom for him every time that he takes a small break.
Brandon understands the reason why Mark C. loves smoking so much. he understands but that doesn't mean that he likes that smell nor the look of the cigar even if is an expensive one. in his early days he spend too much time fighting to get to the top and many of those bastards were sickly obsessed with smoking. the thing that he hates the most is that because he had a smoker father his mother had to die of lung cancer.
"I was glad when I was told about your visit to the city. now that I see you face to face I can read for your expression from the moment in which you stepped inside of this office that you don't intend on becoming a partner to me and my associates."
"since a young age I was told by my instructor and father figure that a man can't waste time with his words because time is precious. I would be direct with you. I was also interested in an offer made to me by Alberto Esposito but as we all know one man from your organization attacked Mr. Esposito's bank. there is sure to be blood among you two. if there is any war or not among you two, I had to wait to see with who is more convenient for my people to had a partnership."
"Alberto Esposito is a rock on the shoes of my organization that has been an inconvenience for the past few years since his organization entered on my backyard. I would eradicate him once and for all. I will be waiting for your return after I had finish the task at hand. don't worry Mr. Ice everything will be peace and quiet in your return for the next meeting."
"that is what I hope."
Brandon Ice stands up and he leaves. Mark C. Miller Jr. stays in his office while he keeps smoking. Mark knows that the words of Brandon were nothing less than a warning letting him know with time that he is in his way to talk with Alberto Esposito about the same matter. Mark should be nervous but he is calm because he has been waiting for a long time for the opportunity to declare war to Alberto Esposito once and for all. is time to know who is the biggest mafioso of the city.
at this exact moment Brandon Ice is in his way to meet with Alberto Esposito. he is in a limousine with a driver and two bodyguards. Brandon Ice asks to one of the bodyguards for a box and the guard gives him the box. Brandon Ice takes a lollipop out of the box and he puts it on his mouth with satisfaction. Brandon Ice owns a lollipop factory that makes lollipops with specific flavors to satisfied his taste.
in a few hours Brandon Ice arrives in front of the mansion that belongs to the Esposito mafia. Brandon gets out of his car alone and he walks towards the entrance and he is welcome by a butler that takes him directly towards the office of Alberto Esposito. Brandon thinks about the right words he has to used before he enters inside of the office and he is in front of Alberto Esposito.
Alberto asks Brandon to take a sit so they can talk in detail about the purpose of this association that they want so much. Brandon sits and he looks directly at the eyes of Alberto who is aware that he visited Mark C. Miller Jr. first. even when he knows that he tries to ignore the obvious and he tries to force Brandon to talk so he can hear it from his own voice the reason why he visited the leaders of two different organizations in one single day.
"I see, you know that I talked with the politician first. the reason why I am here is to make clear that I won't take either side until this hostility in between you two is over or you killed you enemy, so I can choose the best option for a partnership."
"thanks for the clarification. I suppose is time for me to deal with my enemies. don't worry Mr. Ice I will prove why I am the right person to be your associate and representative on behalf of my people."
"thanks for your time. I won't take your time anymore, just one last thing. I really hope you are the one who ends victorious at the end. is nothing personal but is well known how much I dislike politicians, specially corrupt politicians. the only reason why I talk with those fat rats is because is convenient for my organization and not for my own liking."
"I understand your situation. we all businessmen are force to put aside everything personal in order to keep everything professional. don't worry the war is already won by my side."
Brandon Ice leaves the mansion and he is in his way to the airport. Alberto Esposito is worry, it is clear that Brandon Ice incited a war among mafias in a city that belongs mostly to the Heroes and in which the mafia has always been divided. these are dangerous times to go to war.
on the other side of the city....
Fumiko is getting out of a dessert store. Fumiko is enjoying of her Sunday and while she is walking on the streets with a huge smile, her smile is erased when she sees that Jonathan Miller is in front of her in his civilian clothing. he tries to get closer to her while she walks backwards. Jonathan wants to talk with her and he promises to her that he wants to change and out of nowhere Arturo steps in front of her and he tells to Jonathan that he is already in the past to Fumiko.
Fumiko isn't sure if she should be angry or happy. she tries to get away and she is stop by Arturo who says aloud that she has already give him an opportunity to win her heart and he also declares that he isn't the only one trying to win her love. Arturo walks towards Jonathan and he whispers on his ear letting him know that he is in her past. he doesn't belong anywhere hear her.
Jonathan is aware of his trashy personality and all of his defects. he truly wants to change for Fumiko but it is really hard for him to let behind the person that he has been in his entire life. the reason why he loves Fumiko so much is because she was the only person who truly saw him for who he really is and is now that he has realized just how important is she in his life.
"I know that I was wrong but please understand my position. please put yourself on my place and accept that I am only human and humans commit mistakes. why is that you can't understand how sorry I am. you are just mortal jet you judge me like if you were some sort of goddess."
he said the first words on a soft tone that drastically became a scream from part of Jonathan.
"you already lose your opportunity. don't be a pitiful loser."
yields Jurgen behind Jonathan.
"you don't deserve the love of a wonderful person like my Fumi. so please stop being a fucking rock on the road and go fuck yourself."
yields Arturo who is annoyed by the presence of Jonathan.
Jonathan walks towards Arturo. Jonathan stop thinking and he punches Arturo on the face. Arturo kicks him in between the legs. Jonathan falls on his knees. Arturo kicks him on the face so hard that Jonathan falls on the floor bleeding from his nose and mouth. Arturo and Jurgen are walking away with Fumiko.
