Ravva strode confidently through the long, dimly lit corridors of the Bearu headquarters, the sound of his footsteps echoing off the cold metal walls. The headquarters was isolated in the middle of the ocean, hidden from the world in the most remote of places. As he walked, he reached a large wooden door, paused for a moment, then knocked before entering.
Inside the room, a long, polished table stretched out before him. Only one of the seven chairs was occupied. Seated at the head of the table was Ignite Venus, an old man with white hair that flowed down to his shoulders and a thick white beard. He wore round sunglasses that obscured his eyes, and a black suit that gave him an air of authority. His attention was focused on a pile of paperwork spread out in front of him.
"Oh, hey, old man, guess what," Ravva announced casually as he stepped into the room.
Ignite didn't look up from his work. "What is it, Ravva?"
"I killed Dorothy."
Ignite froze mid-motion, his pen halting above the page. Slowly, he lifted his head and turned his gaze towards Ravva. "You did what?"
Ravva chuckled softly. "You're growing old, old man. You didn't even hear what I said. I killed Dorothy."
Ignite's expression was unreadable behind his sunglasses. "You're telling me you killed Dorothy?"
"That's right," Ravva confirmed, a hint of pride in his voice.
Ignite set down his pen, his fingers steepling as he leaned back in his chair. "Did you find anything suspicious?"
Ravva nodded. "Yes. While searching Deira, we discovered that she was building an army of some sort, fusing humans with machines. She was also conducting experiments on them."
"Is that so," Ignite mused, his voice thoughtful.
"Yes," Ravva replied.
Ignite considered this for a moment before speaking again. "I'm giving you full control over the situation. I want you to go and search all the areas in the Ozone and even the islands. Make sure that none of her experiments or anything else escaped the island."
Ravva smirked. "Yeah, I'll make sure to search the whole area."
As Ravva turned to leave, Ignite added,"Tell Quincin he's being promoted," Ignite said, his tone firm and authoritative. "He'll be the ruler of Centauro Island for the time being. Make sure he knows the responsibility he's taking on."
Ravva nodded, a smirk playing on his lips. "Got it. I'll make sure he knows. Consider it done." With that, he pushed open the door and walked out, leaving Ignite to return to his paperwork.
