[We have a problem]
Shoto's eyes went dark when he heard that a he rushed back to the private Inn. Shoto wasn't going to let his people get hurt again.
When he arrived at the Inn he discovered everyone except Luca and Dorothy sipping tea. He could sense that the two were sleeping in there rooms but they were fine , they were all fine so what was the problem?
Grysilia put the teacup down and approached her master.
"Thank you for arriving on such quick notice" she said bowing her head.
"What's the problem?" Shoto asked with a cold expression.
"The problem is you've been spending too much time with those women and not giving us enough attention, you haven't done it with me in three weeks I'm starved for your seed master"
Shoto's face shifted from concern to embarrassment he couldn't believe Grysilia said that in front of other people.
"Umm… Grysilia" Shoto's face was dyed red with embarrassment and he couldn't speak in front of the others.
Grysilia had a smile on her face she finally cough her master off guard. With no resistance Shoto was dragged into the room for an epic battle.
Slam!
The door slammed shut leaving those how were drinking tea with red expressions on their faces, they found Grysilia's behavior odd but they couldn't say anything to each other as sounds of Shoto and Grysilia's epic battle began to echo.
A the same time that day Daniel Bran leader of the Bran Merchant Group was having a meeting. He had called for the meeting two days ago but no of the other three responded to it until now.
All three seated in Bran's office facing Bran who sat behind his large desk. Tea was served by Norman but no one drank it as the atmosphere in the room was tense.
"Why did you call us Bran?" Felix asked pushing up his glasses.
"I called you her six times because it was an emergency" Bran spoke with shallow anger.
"We can't stop everything to put out your flame when we were dealing with flames of our own"a man named Pìo spoke
"What do you mean?"
"We were robbed" a thinner man named Lino spoke.
"What how!?" Bran exclaimed.
"That what we want to know to Bran"
"What?" Bran was puzzled.
"How did the thief know what to look for in our office?" Felix angled his words towards Bran.
"What are you implying Felix?" Bran growled lowly.
"Don't play dumb you fucking bastard you stole from us!" Pìo snapped.
Pìo's large figure reached over the table wanting to strangle Bran but Norman's cold gaze prevented him completing his action.
"You fat basted what are you talking about?" Bran was was enraged after being accused of theft when he was the one was robbed.
Bran's face contorted into ugly expression as he realized that the other three were blaming him for the theft that happened at their homes.
"A you all accusing me the theft at your homes?" He spoke holding back his anger.
"It wouldn't be the first time you stole from us" Felix spoke.
"Huh?" Bran was cought of guard by that statement.
"What you think we all forgot about stagecoach incident" Lino chimed in.
Bran's ugly expression shifted to a face of shocked, he thought he'd had covered up the incident thoroughly.
"We only looked away because it benefited us a the time but…"
Bran's loud scream cut Felix off.
"Shut the fuck up!!"
"Don't act like you have never stolen from me you fuckin four eyed cunt!"
Felix was taken aback by Bran's vulgarity but he still composed himself.
"Stop speaking with out truth when did I ever steal from you?"
"Are you going to play dumb!"
"Sir calm …" Norman tried to calm Bran but Lino cut him off.
"The only one acting dumb here is you, you piece of shit who else but you and your butler would know what we exchange between each other"
"Your trying to take everything for yourself aren't you ,y…"
"That's enough" Normans silenced everyone in the room before continuing.
"Master Bran did not call you here to accuse him of theft because he to was robbed"
"What?" Pìo and Lino exclaimed.
"Tch… you just trying to throw the sent of yours…" Felix spoke short.
"Master Bran wanted to make sure that none of you got rob because what was stolen could put the merchant group in danger"
Norman told a bold faced lie to ease the situation. He still suspected on of the other three heads but he needed to make Bran look innocent first. The fact that everyone got robbed made it hard to clear Brans name as they all knew his greed.
Norman exhaled the spoke again
"My master was concerned about his friends…"
"Friends don't bullshit us with your sly tongue butler none of us are friends here we're all business partners, we joined together so we could maximize our wealth we were never friends" Pìo said
"We all knew one day one of us would backstab the others when we formed the group but we still worked together take over La Breon.
The only problem was that you thought you owned us because the group had your name it which made you think you had the right to steel from us." Felix added on .
Norman wasn't cought of guard by those statements he knew the merchant group was built on fragile trust yet they still made profit despite the minor backstabbing.
"Please I understand your suspicious towards my master but your accusations against him are false because his office was broken into two days ago we don't know who did it but our investigation has proven that it is none of you"
Norman lied again he didn't have that kind strength to investigate them he just wanted to lower the hostility. The reason for this meeting was look for most likely culprit but since they all claimed that they too were robbed it made hard for Norman to see through them.
"Ha" Felix laughed.
"So your saying Bran never suspected any of us"
"That is what said" Norman confirmed.
"Then why did you call us hear?"
"That was too -"
Felix interrupted Norman.
I will tell why you probably had some way get the truth out of us we were the ones who stole from you am I wrong?"
Bran and Norman flinched at that statement earlier Norman had served tea with poison but none of them drank it they were planning too use the antidote in exchange for the truth.
Felix smirked as his chance had finally come, got up from his sit
"It was nice working with all of you but…"
"Felix wait-" Bran tried to interrupt but Felix continued speaking.
"I'm withdrawing my company from the merchant group have a good day and good bye" Felix said it with a smile and walked out the door slamming it behind him.
Slam!
The sound of the door slamming filled the room with an odd silence. A piller had just removed itself from the building.
