"I'm sorry for what you'll have to hear in these moments." The mature man said as he saw the page.

*CRASH* The car went flipping out of control and crashing into one of the broken down buildings.

"Finally." D124 said as he got out of his car. "Surround them." He said as he pulled a large rifle out of the car.

"Someone's van was hit, they're being surrounded!!!" Urie said as she saw a vehicle being surrounded by red dots on the tablet.

"What? Who was it?!" Gabriel said as if his heart sunk.

"AGGGGGHHHH-" A scream of utter pain heard from one of the mics but they couldn't tell which it was until a vague voice was heard in the back.

"K-Kyl-" was cut off as the earpiece suddenly shut off.

[Just a few weeks prior. August 17th, 2019…. 6:30]

"I'm one of the Captains of the ANM and this is my bodyguard and also the first captain." Urie said while she wore her ANM gear as she shook the man in a black suit's hand.

"I'm doing this deal with a woman? Great." He said sarcastically as he looked at her body since he couldn't tell by her voice which was distorted by the mask.

"Yes, is there a problem with that?" Urie asked as she kept a professional tone.

"…No." The man said as he shook Michael's hand.

"I'm the other captain of the ANM." Michael said as he was also wearing his ANM gear.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm the head of the Underweh Organization." He said as shook Michael's hand.

Urie and Michael were the only executive team members this time, there was an ANM lieutenant leading the bodyguard team. The captains were still in the base but were ready to head out and provide back up just in case.

"I hope they don't do anything stupid, I don't want the CICA chasing us this early into our task." Christian said as he sat beside Melissa.

"Urie knows what to do so I doubt she'll do anything stupid. She knows how to control herself and Michael." Jeremy said as he sat besides Drey.

"Well sometimes Michael just doesn't care about the ANM's relationship with the other organizations." Gabriel said as he sat across from Christian.

Ralfie was with Kyle in a matted room, the room had one large mirror that covered one of the walls. Besides that the room was empty only being filled with light.

"Do you understand now? This is the ancient fighting style of the last gladiator, it utilizes everything in the environment. Depending on the situation, it's pretty ugly." Ralfie said as she stretched.

"So do all of the captains know this style, even Christian?" Kyle asked in a confused tone as he was out of breath.

"This style is home to the ANM so every captain has a high level of mastery of it, so yes even Christian. The agents have a lower mastery but they get better by the day. The only captain who has complete mastery of the style is Michael." Ralfie explained as she lightly bounced on the balls of her feet.

"Those are the same moves Ryoa was using. Was he also a part of the ANM?" Kyle asked as he stood up straight.

"Well, no, Ryoa and Michael learned from the same people. The people who taught them are also the ones who created this style. They are a part of ANM. Ms.Lily was also taught this style too, you'd be surprised how close those three are." Ralfie said before she heard her phone ringing.

"I thought it was ancient." Kyle said in a confused tone.

*Click* She answered the phone quickly.

"The head of Underweh agreed to the alliance.

The first task has been completed. Now they prep for the next.

[August 24th, 2019]

A week quickly passed after the ANM formed an alliance with Underweh. They are able now able to complete business sales without any intereferences in some parts of Brooklyn such as Crown heights, East Flat Bush, and Williamsburg.

They are on to their next task now. Meeting with another organization but they were in the Bronx this time.

"You want a what?" A man in a white suit said with a confused look on his face as his men stood behind him.

The man was sitting in a fancy five restaurant that was rented out for the ANM's discretion. He was sitting across from two ANM captains.

"….I want to form an alliance with you just so we can get around the Bronx without any issue. I'm not asking for any help with the alliance." Gabriel said in a slightly irritated tone as a few ANM agents stood behind him and Michael.

"I refuse. I don't want the CICA on my ass if you get caught. But I can allow you to get around some parts of the SouthBronx. That cost money though. " The man said with a smirk hidden behind his stern face.

"What's the price and how far can we travel?" Gabriel asked in a seemingly curious tone.

"From Mott Haven to Melrose and that's going to cost you about 340K a month in cash. Bringing all of them police to my streets, you're ruining the flow. You lucky, you're dealing with me instead because everybody else would've charged more." He explained in a disgusting tone.

"No." Michael said in an irritated tone. "We need to be able to travel through every single part of SouthBronx." He finished.

"As payment we'll allow you to do what you need to in lower Manhattan." Gabriel added.

"I won't do business with you. If you won't agree to my offer then we won't have a deal and you won't leave here alive." The man said.

"Have we met before?" Gabriel asked.

"No. However you killed one of my partners in New Jersey, Ashen was a good partner and you ruined one of my good incomes." The man explained as he looked at them with disgust.

"We were only collecting the debt they failed to pay. The same way you do and if you're feeling personal about their death then we don't want to do business with you either." Michael said as he quickly pulled his gun out.

The ANM Agents quickly followed after him and pulled their gun out and aimed at the other organization members, making them drop their weapons.

"Give me your phone." Gabriel said as he stood up.

"I ain't giving you shit-" The man said before Michael suddenly moved the table.

He tried to take a quick glance at the table but once he did, he felt someone's hand wrap around the back of his head. Gabriel quickly slammed his head onto the floor.

"I wasn't asking, give me your phone." Gabriel said as he stared at him.

"I think he's dead." Michael said as the man wasn't moving at all.

"Alright, kill his men." Gabriel said after they got out of the ANM agent's way.

"W-WA-" The men tried to plead for their life however, it was too late as the ANM agents already pulled the triggers. Completely mangling their bodies as the bullets from their guns tore through their bodies.

"Okay, that's enough, you just needed to kill them." Gabriel said after gesturing for them to lower their guns.

"He's still alive, just unconscious." Michael said after he checked his pulse.

"Look for his phone, it'll be easier to take over his organization. We'll convert all of his men into the ANM. " Gabriel said as Michael tossed him the phone. "Take his head off, we'll use it to intimidate them. Those who resist… well no one is going to resist." He said as he turned the phone on.

"Tell them to bring us a bag and a container." Michael said as he pulled a Bowie knife out of his belt.

One of the ANM agents quickly left to get the containers so he wouldn't have to see what was going to happen to the man. The agents that were left behind wanted to look away but just could keep their eyes off of them.

"Did you kill him first.?" Gabriel said as he looked for a bullet wound on the man's.

"Why would I if this is going to kill him." Michael said as he held his forehead down to get a clear view of his neck.

"…." His vision was blurry and he was barely able make out what they were saying as he slowly started to regain consciousness and open his eyes.

He began fighting for it once he remembered where he was. It felt like hours went by and he was finally able to do it. Able to completely clear his vision, he notices he is right below Michael- his head was cut off.

"David, take a picture of this, and send it to the captains to tell them that we're gonna take over the Solom organization and convert them into the ANM." Michael said before the glass in the eye of his mask flashed.

"Me and Michael are going to their headquarters with the Agents. We have the rest of you for teams of 1 to 2 captains and take over the other bases they have. Convert them, I mean with some each team needs over a handful of agents with them." Gabriel explained as the ANM agent finally came back with a bag and container.

"The captains heard you, we're getting ready right now. " David said.

The ANM is going to expand their territory by converting the Solom organization. Using a dirty and inhumane tactic.
