michael: no need to go that far, I need you to follow me for 30 years, after that, you will be free to do whatever you want, I also want to tell you that people with superpowers , those who have reached level 90 and above can live up to 200 years, so 30 years should not represent to much in your eyes
katarina: how do you all know this?
Michael: I know a lot of things, in any case, now that you are calmer, I will explain my plan to you
after explaining his plan, Michael decided to teleport Katarina to her office, he did not want to use a master/slave contract on everyone because these contracts were precious, he only had 9 of them
Michael decided to end the recruitment as soon as possible, he then recruited Ryan Miller who had the power to control the earth and Sarah Parker who had the power to control the air
the two power holders belonged respectively to the el hermanos gangs and the silver lion gang
Michael used the same methods with the two superhumans that he had used with Kim hyun and Katarina Rutherford
to hit them first and talk after
Once all this was done, Michael went to the last superhuman who did not belong to any of the 7 factions , Charlie King
Charlie was part of the beggars gang, this gang wasn't as powerful as the other 7 gangs but they were extremely ruthless.
the gang of beggars had men in every corner of murane and unlike the 7 other gangs which forced their members to fight monsters, protect the population or even build housing, the gang of beggars was like a parasite that fed on the city and the survivors of murane
they were specialized in the field of high interest loans and the collection of information, of course, they were also immersed in prostitution and racketeering to
Charlie King was a young man of 18 who had just celebrated his birthday, his father did not manage to survive the apocalypse, so he found himself providing for the needs of his sick mother and his young sister of 16 year old
the only good thing that happened in his life was that charlie managed to speak with the animals, he discovered that he possessed this strange gift after the mana appeared on earth, charlie felt that he now had a strong affinity with animals
at first, he managed to understand the noises they made and their behavior, then once he had gotten used to all that, the animals began to understand him too
all in all, charlie had the same gift as emily ( the little girl found with the bulrogs ) except that his gift was much more powerful
Charlie was an intelligent boy, he quickly understood how to use his gift and he created a group of rats who only obeyed his orders, he then trained a group of wild dogs and cats , in the apocalypse the dogs where 9 feet tall and the cats were ferocious
Charlie's power was so strong that he even managed to communicate with insects
but Charlie made a big mistake, to save his sick mother, he had borrowed money from the beggars gang and had gotten into debt with them and to make matters worse, Charlie's mother was in constant need of care to stay alive, so he had to borrow money constantly
When the leader of the beggar gang, a mentalist named Roger, rank 7, learned that Charlie had such a power, he first asked charlie to steal the belongings of the survivors then used all of Charlie's animals as cannon fodder, Charlie therefore saw these animals that he loved so much. getting killed
day after day , week after week , unfortunately the more missions he took to repay the loan , the more powerful the beggars gang became until they reached the same level as the 7 other gangs but Roger didn't want to be noticed and he probably had much more sinister plans for the city of murane
Charlie almost went crazy because of the anguish he felt seeing his beloved animals being killed one by one because even though he had great powers, he was also linked emotionally to the animals he tamed and thus , he could feel their anguish and despair when he forced them to attack enemies stronger than them
but what could he do? Let his mother die and his sister be used in a brothel because Roger was not a gentle person, he will surely subject them to the most atrocious abuse if Charlie ever left the gang or stopped listening to him
It was in this state of significant anxiety that Charlie began to have visions, premonitory dreams, in these dreams, a woman's voice told him that everything was going to be fine , that help was on the way, that everything will end well
at first charlie didn't really believe in it, but as the dreams multiplied his confidence in them grew
sometimes he could dream of some actions he would take , some sentence he would tell
he even knew that a being with great powers was going to save him, that he would kill Roger and that the city of Valom ( the capital of country X ) was going to be the most prosperous city in the country x
it was this hope that kept him alive, that let him be calm in this difficult moments
