[South Korea, One of White Tiger's Warehouse]
[Morning 8:54 am]
[~3 Days Before the Wolfie's Assault~]
...
"Where are they?!" Victor grunted rather rudely and impatiently.
"Calm you horses Victor, we just came a little earlier than expected." Argon calmly stated to his 'brother' as he continued to sip his warm tea with its sweet jasmine aroma fragrance invading not only his, but everyone's senses pleasantly.
"They should've come here earlier then! Instead, they're keeping us waiting, probably holed up somewhere, observing us as they make a fool out of us! I wouldn't be surprised the second they get here and demand us to get on our knees, bowing and bark to please our so-called savior." He growled hysterically at the obnoxious thought, slowly making his way to his brother as he sat right next to him, trying to calm his nerves.
"There, there, Victor. All will be well, and everything will work out in the end." Argon spoke vigorously, calming Cyan's nerves a little, but not enough to quell his thirst for power and his hatred for his own blood-related brother, who sits happily on the throne that will be his very soon, he hoped.
"Uhrm." Someone coughed out, quickly getting everyone's attention at the arrival of two unknown figures decked out in an all-black outfit. Their uniform resembling a jujutsu sorcerer high collar shirt with a rather lumpy hood, covering the user's entire face, keeping the two representatives of Eminence identity unknown. "Pardon our intrusions. I hope we didn't keep you waiting long."
"Not at all, you're just on time." Argon gestured his guests to sit down at the lonesome empty chairs that is right in front of him. Victor grunts in response, siting still, displeased with the entire situation but once he gets his hand on the serum, he won't be sitting still anymore or any longer for that matter. At least, that's what he thinks, not knowing his plans will soon be ruin by minors.
They took their seats and on, the meeting it went. They discuss the future of the White Tiger's Clan and whether Eminence plans will affect their survival along with financial stability that Eminence could provide them. All were cover with Eminence representatives assuring each and every one of them that they will basically sponsor them as long as they are willing to cooperate with their organization. As for the swearing allegiance part, both sides agreed that they will stay loyal to one another as long as no agreement in their contract have been breached or else there will be severe consequences.
"Well then, now that everything has been settle, let me get out the contract so we can finalize our agreement-"
"Wait, wait a moment-" Victor screeched horribly, causing everyone to send him narrow annoyed looks due to his loud rash tone and his disrespectful behavior to their savior. Though nobody cares for the latter as everyone is used to his rude thoughtless acts, but in need of the cure they protested for once.
"Cyan! That was rude!"
"Yeah, apologize."
"Behavior yourself!"
"As an elder, I deeply apologize for his actions."
Some bowed their heads. The representatives observed everyone as they began to sweat behind their mask from the immense tension building up from all the silence as neither of the two figures spoke a word, all worried that this minor transgression will rob them of their remedy, sending ominous glances at the one at fault. He in return, glares back as he notes every one's color in deserving of punishment for daring to shut him up.
All the while the two figures converse peacefully about the situation in amusement. {Cyan is Victor, right?}
{Hm, the greedy traitor.} She agreed before asking Cyan to explain himself for the scene he just caused, even though both representatives had a slight idea of why he rudely interrupted the negotiation process. "Ah, I apologize for my rude behavior." He begrudgingly bowed his head as he spoke respectfully, but everyone could tell he didn't mean a single word from the strain in his throat. "But, before I- we proceed with the contract, may I- I mean we, see the cure?"
"Hm, I don't see a problem in that." Taking out the antidote out of thin air, startling some as their eyes widen from the glowing drug, shimmering a gentle cyan blue as they felt immense pressure due to the concentration of energy, they are currently witnessing from the tiny glamours container.
Victor reaches out his greedy hands as he unknowingly tried to grab the cure, only to be stopped by someone's hand. He made eye contact with the culprit, intending to stare them down for daring to lay a single finger on him, only to wince in pain as the culprit didn't relent and continued putting pressure, causing Victor's blood flow in that arm to stop temporarily, grunting in response. "Grh"
The offender was none other than the other representative of Eminence who quickly got protective of her partner even though she knows very well that her companion is capable of handling herself. Nonetheless, she stared him down from behind her blindfold that would of seemingly have no effect if not for the user's unique eyes impending through the blindfold, adding on to the effective blazing polish glares that could be felt by not only Cyan but everyone else.
"You dare lay a hand on my colleague!" Exerting bloodlust directed to Victor who go on his knees in response, though everyone felt it as some began feeling lightheaded while others followed Victor's position.
"Celestial." A name was spoken, immediately grabbing everyone's attention as the bloodlust eventually began to fade to nothingness, resulting in many to breathe a sigh in relief. "Calm down."
"But this filthy monkey dare-"
"I know, but nonetheless, calm down. There's no need to overexert yourself for something as minor less as this."
"Nothing is meaningless when it comes to you." She protested in response, only to receive a disapproval look from her sister as she shakes her head side to side, but a small smile makes its way onto her face from her sister's overprotectiveness. She gently guides her sister away from the victim to not only further calm her down, but also to quell her insatiable rage. But she only manages to get her a few feet before Celestial turned around.
"You! Apologize!" She demanded and pointed to the filth that lies in front of her, on his knees, still gasping for air. Unfortunately, his arrogance remains unshaken as he looks to what he assumes is his culprit's eyes and grins menacingly, then laughs maniacally, confusing everyone as they wonder whether he's gone mad. But for the sisters, they expected this.
He gets off the floor, shaking off dust that manage to inhabit his clothing like a dog shaking their fur after a bath, before backing away slightly but not from fear, but from madness, soaked with his overconfident nature as his grins continues to widen even more.
"You imbeciles really think I'll faulter now of all times." He waves his index finger to point at everyone in the room as he chortles hoarsely, sounding like a dying puppy, laughing maniacally once again. "Heehehekekeee!"
"Victor! What is the meaning of this?! Have you truly gone mad?!" Argon spoke out everyone's thoughts, clearly confused with what's going on in his brother's head, but also out of concern and love for Victor's well-being.
"Me, mad?! You tell me! HEhe~ But perhaps, perhaps you're right?!" He exclaimed hysterically as his aura ignites bloodthirsty. "I'm always the wrong, aren't I?!" He volumed his claim, increasing the magnitude of his aura to further exert his pressure against everyone, expecting everyone to kneel, which is precisely what he got, all but his brother if you exclude Eminence's representatives remain standing, once again, standing in his way. "What are you talking about Victor?!"
"I'm talking about you!" He voiced frustratedly, receiving a puzzled expression from his brother. "What about me?"
"Everything, god damn it! Everything is always f*cking about you!"
"What-"
"You accomplish something great it's extraordinary and well praise, I do something it's, 'Argon could do better' or 'That's nothing special compared to your brother.' Why?! WHY?! WHY IS IT ALWAYS YOU! WHY CAN'T I BE PRAISE LIKE THAT?! OR TREATED LIKE THAT INSTEAD OF TRASH?! I WAS JUST AS GOOD AS YOU! I AM A GENIUS TOO YOU KNOW?!" He screams in jealousy; bitterness and resentment build up in his throat as he stares at his brother with blood shot, red eyes.
"Vic." Argon begins to realize his faults and finally concluded how his beloved it brother became like this. What he was doing wrong, all of it, simply existing is the cause of his brother's suffering. In fact, the abuse Victor face was all there, the signs were clear, yet he chose to ignore it all, all in favor of his clan members and meeting up to their expectations. All but his brother- no, twin. Twin, that word itself sounds too foreign as it rolled off his tongue quietly, very differently to how lovable he refers to his twin when they were just little innocent boys.
"CAT FINALLY GOT YOUR TONGUE?! WHY SO SPEECHLESS?! FINALLY GOT FACT CHECKED?! HOW MANY PEOPLE THREW THEIR LIVES FOR YOU, SCRIFICED EVERYTHING FOR YOU, YET YOU IGNORED THEIR EXISTENCE LIKE THERE WERE INSECTS, NOT EVEN WORTH LOOKING AT AS ALL YOUR ATTENTION WAS ON THE THRONE, WASN'T IT?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF HOW MANY DIED IN ORDER FOR YOU TO BE SITTING ON THAT DAMN THRONE CAREFREE, LIKE ALL IS RIGHT IN THE WORLD?! DO YOU?! DO YOU?!"
"And you do?!" Argon snapped, gritting his teeth, annoyed at how hypocritical his twin was being right now. "I'M NOT IGNORANT ENOUGH TO LOOK THE OTHER DIRECTION WHEN SOMEONE'S DYING FOR ME?! NOR AM I WILLINGLY SITTING ON A THRONE THAT THOUSANDS OF LIVES HAVE SCRAFRICE IN ORDER FOR MY SUCCESSION SO CARELESSLY?!"
"KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT! WHATEVER HELPS YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT BROTHER, BUT YOU KNOW VERY WELL THOSE ARE NOTHING MORE BUT FALSE TRUTHS! NOTHING MORE BUT LIES UPON LIES STASHED AWAY INSIDE YOU LIKE A DAMN MAZE, WHERE EVERY F*CKING TURN IS MORE F*CKING LIES LAYER WITH SOME MORE! AT THIS POINT, YOU SIT ON A THRONE OF LIES AND NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE THAT ARGON!"
Argon begs to differ but couldn't. He looked around at his elder, then to his people who arrive due to the commotion, all dodging his glances in guilt as no matter how kind and well respected he was to some, all Victor have said so far is nothing more but the truth, far from the lies unlike him, who is buried in nothing more but lies.
Eventually registering that nobody will defend him only further proved how right Victor was. He was indeed ignorant. All he has ever done and did was for the betterment of his people. At least, that's what he thought. But Victor's harsh truth finally woke him up to reality. He sat on a throne of lies that will one way or another, lead to his people's immediate demise.
But how? He questions, before scoffing at the thought of it. Does he have any right to question his wrongdoings that he ignored for so long, with it coming back to bite his a*s as no matter how much he wished for it, he cannot change the past? But nonetheless he did. Where did he go wrong? How could he allow himself to be so arrogant and foolish? Did I do anything right as the White Tiger Clan's patriarch? Why-... He asked himself all these meaningless questions, but not the right one.
He ponders for a good bit, not knowing that it all began with the person standing right in front of him, someone he can no longer recognize as his beloved twin brother. Ignorance truly is a bliss, but it is currently doing him no good in this situation, especially if he wants to turn the situation around. That is if he could, or if it was even possible for him. But to no avail, a naive person like himself is incapable of changing his nonexistent ideals if he is not pushed into a difficult scenario where he cannot come out unscathed.
After many moments of silence, he finally asked the right question. "What can I do to make things right?" But as all you know it, some things are broken beyond repair, just like his bond with his twin, as once a wire is severed, it cannot be corrected if the other side does not desire it. Which is precisely what both side have been doing for the last 7 years.
One thing is for sure, Argon and Victor's bond was no longer the same anymore from the day Argon turn his back on Victor. All that can be done is damage control, if that is even possible for either side and for the sake of the clan as a whole.

Chelsea: {We just disappeared, didn't we?}
Yulius: {Hm.}
Chelsea: {But this is like those very good fantasy movies where the main cast has some serious issues, in their case, brotherly bro-cons issues.}
Yulius: {Hm.}

Victor: "ＫＥＥＰ ＴＥＬＬＩＮＧ ＹＯＵＲＳＥＬＦ ＴＨＡＴ!－．．．．．"
Chelsea: {Y'know, this would be really good with popcorn.}
She turns to her sister expectingly, to which she ignores her puppy eyes completely due to possessing immunity.
Yulius: {Hm.}
Chelsea: {Can you pretty please get me some.}
Yulius: {You're a grown a*s woman. Get it yourself.}
Chelsea: {But-}
Yulius: {No buts, beside eating popcorn requires you to reveal your face.}
Chelsea: {Oh, don't worry about that, imma eat Kakashi Hatake style.}
Yulius: {My answer is still no, get it yourself.}
Chelsea: {Prease Tsuna. The good part is about to begin, and it would be really good if we have popcorn.}
Yulius sighs. {You're not going to shut up if I don't give you what you want, aren't you.}
Chelsea: {Who knows.}
She smirks when her twin sighs in defeat and brought out two freshly baked butter popcorn, one for each of them as they dig in, watching the brother's argument unfold. Other's catching whiff of the sweet buttery scent furrows their brows as they observe the brother's scene and the sister's eating popcorn through a mask.

Chelsea is a disorganized person who isn't one to stock up on the necessities she requires and instead brings inessential products. For example, she would prioritize having bleach in her inventory instead of food. Like, I know she kills a lot and very easily at that, but could she not hold off till later, cause that's a lot of cleaning with the amount of blood she's capable of spilling. And yes, although many would not suspect a 6-year-old of murder, it does become a tincy bit suspicious if that said 6-year-old is indirectly involve with 19 murder cases.
The reason I bring this up is because Chelsea has access to an infinite storage inventory just like Yulius due to their affinity for space. So, if you could not already tell, Chelsea has a bunch of unnecessary things in her inventory while Yulius is the kind of person prepare for anything if a natural disaster were to occur. Also, the popcorn is fresh and hot because in their inventory, their time affinity prevents time from flowing.

Yulius called Chelsea Celestial because they both decided it was best to keep their identity hidden from others. Yulius fake name is Yuna because if you take Ts from Tsuna (Yulius's middle name) and replace it with the Y from the first letter of Yulius's name, you get Yuna. Brilliant right, it was brought to you by Chelsea's impeccable naming sense. Moving forward in the future, they will be continuously called Celestial-sama and Yuna-sama until they decide to reveal their real self.
