"While I can understand what you're saying…
What you're asking is unfeasible…" James was sitting in his office within Adelaide, wondering who the team of suited businessmen and women were that had an appointment with him.
"Mr Trudell, we understand you are ensuring the best for the assets, however its quite obvious the workload is far too difficult to handle for the current Primal Management corporation.
Not just that, we have the express authority of Mr Manston…" a grey-haired executive had spoken up with a charmful smile that was telling James to fuck off.
What they weren't expecting was James's rebuttal.
"My fucking nephew said what to you lot?" James wasn't one to back down to a little pressure, especially if it was some prick in a suit.
James knew Esmond was sending some people around who would help easy some of the companys problems and overloaded work, but James never expected the people to be so stuck up and entitled.
.
"You see…
I have no qualms sending you lot away with what you've asked, but my nephew and student, Esmond Manston, is also my responsibility if his daft mind does something which might harm the business."
None of the executive members sent on behalf of the Avitus Financial Group had any idea how to deal with the stone-cold James which was becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.
Seeing that none of them were going to argue with him at this point, James sighed before calling on Eddie.
"Hey Eddie, send through everything to the Avitus Group and let the brat know everything is done.
The lot of you can leave now, but I suggest you get some training.
There is no point sending 10 people when one person could have easily done the job… well only if he was trained properly."
James didn't bother to hear their replies and let the security guards lead out the businessmen and women.
In the meantime, James was checking his phone for updates from his informants around the place.
'Seems like Zhao is going to send me up a fucking wall cleaning up after his daughter… *Sigh*'
.
Flipping through the channels on the T.V monitor that took up the full extent of the wall, a young beautiful East Asian young lady had a stoic face.
Her dark black hair with a hint of red highlighting through, amplifying her glossy fiery gemmed eyes that seemed to suffocate the air within the expansive apartment.
The creamy fair skin blew up her beauty to another level, glowing up her features, but it didn't matter since nobody within the apartment would ever have the right to see her more than their Young Lady.
"Tell me what you found…" she asked with her noble aura exploding outwards with every syllable pronounced.
"Y-Young Miss…
We found Miss Amelia was travelling alongside a young gentleman by the name of Esmond Manston…"
The man wearing a butler suit with white gloves on recounted all the information that was gathered, watching his Young Miss closely for a reaction.
Mei Yifei Cai was the daughter of Zhao Cai and currently staying within Adelaide to study at the university of South Australia at the orders of her father.
She knew of James Trudell, her father's best friend and her godfather, but having never met him, Mei wanted to find everything on James's daughter.
Mei butler explained to her the man that was appearing close with Amelia was in fact a childhood friend of the girl and Trudell family.
The taxi driver who drove Esmond and Amelia home had provided his video footage from within the cab to Meis informants.
On orientation day, Esmond had caught Meis eye the second she caught him wondering about with his arm looped with Amelias.
Seeing the video of the taxi, Mei was instantly drawn in by Esmonds facial features when he removed the mask to kiss Amelias forehead.
The butler had taken notice of the expression changes on the Young Miss before leaving her with the video.
"So…
Your name is Esmond…
Mm…"
…
..
.
"… Uncle… could I get a word in…?"
"Fuck no!
Now listen you little shit!"
'*Sigh*' Esmond could do nothing but listen to the tirade of abuse coming from his teacher and dear uncle.
Because Esmond had sent those incompetent executives to James who wouldn't fight for Esmonds assets, James wanted his nephew to understand how costly it could have been for Esmond.
For over 2 hours, Esmond had to patiently listen to his uncle, ready to shatter his phone from utter annoyance.
"*Sigh* Nephew… you know I mean well…
I just want nothing bad to happen to you, child."
"I understand uncle but trust me on this.
The Avitus group will be really beneficial for my plans…
By the way, how are things going with the Manston Engines and Zathra?"
James told Esmond the two brands were coming along nicely with the council debating over the project to allow the racetrack and small city that would be built for the staff of Manston Engines and Zathra.
There were problems springing up with certain people trying to stop the project from going ahead but the number of jobs Esmond was offering the state was beginning to wear down the opposing party.
James knew Esmond wanted to set up a space exploration company near the site of the racetrack, hoping to bring in another sort of audience to the region.
Honestly James found it to be unbelievable but thought it was plausible and started gathering all that was required before submitting the project to the Adelaide council for approval.
Thankfully Esmond hadn't told James about his idea to bring over Disney and set up a couple theme parks, but that was far ahead in Esmonds plan for Adelaide and the world overall.
Of course, before Australia, Esmond would have his Seven Seas Kingdom introduced to Disney and its theme parks.
Knowing the importance of Manston Engines and Zathra Motorcars, James was focusing quite a bit on establishing the brands within Australia and the international market.
.
With it taken care of by James, Esmond ended his call with his dear uncle and decided to take relax for a bit before he heard the devil's laughter.
"Hehehaha bitch… I am home!!" Carter yelled as he came through the cabin doors, walking over to the lounge while the girls were prepping dinner.
Kane decided to cook tonight, but he was currently busy with Vaazakra dealing with the droids, so prepping was left to Gabriel, Rosie, and Scarlett, who were all giving Carter the stink eye.
"What do you want Carter?"
"You my deary Esy!
Warpin time bitch!"
Carter turned on the lounge T.V before ditching the remote towards Esmond.
The girls in the kitchen all thought the same thing, 'Here we go again…', already aware utter complete nonsense was about to happen.

'Another one with sweet fuck all time…' Esmond cursed in his mind before trying to understand where he appeared.
'You're not too far from the engineering room.
Open up a gate because I honestly don't think this will be possible without some help.' Carter sounded concerned that he might have trouble getting everything done within enough time.
Fortunately, the girls in the kitchen heard Carter complaining and decided to help him out since it would benefit Esmond.
Droids in control of Carter and the girls came rushing out of the gate before racing out the storage room with Esmond.
They all broke away to the right, leaving Esmond to head left all alone, though he had some drones with him, it still didn't give him enough confidence everything would go right.
That soon rung true as Esmond entered engineering and let the drones free to the stunned gazes of the crew within the room, all looking at Esmond.
"Fuck…" Esmond curse, immediately equipping his armour before being shot by a stun phaser.
Thankfully the armour was able to negate the affects of the phaser, however it left enough damage regardless to Esmond.
"S-Staph… F-fuck…
I'm here to help…" Esmonds shaky voice came blaring out of his armour with speakers built into the armour that help amplify Esmonds voice out.
Everyone stopped and looked at Esmond for a minute, giving him a closer inspection once the armour retracted.
"Is an Ensign Johana Kalle here?" Esmond asked once he was helped up.
For a second nobody said anything but once they noticed the room temperature that was soaring because of the overheating engine had started to cool because of Esmonds drone swarm, they quickly brought Johana forward.
.
"H-how can I help you…?" Johana said sheepishly, expecting the worst possible thing for herself however she wasn't expecting to hear that she would be learning.
"Follow me closely and examine all of the information that will be sent to your comms.
Everything will be left in your care once I leave.
Understand?"
"Ahh…"
"Great!"
Esmond couldn't care what she thought and barrelled through the explanation with Carter or one of the other A.Is sending Johana all of the information.
Johana felt overwhelmed for a moment, but Esmond calmed her down saying it was her time to lead, though it might mean problems and issues, all of it was learning experience.
"Just do your best!" Esmond said before heading out of engineering once Carter screamed in his mind that security guards were on their way to engineering and the other areas where the drone swarms were working.
Regardless, the times was about the end for the mission, and they were cutting it short to have everything done.
