Reaper listened to his worker.
"The deal went off without a hitch. I had to give it to her for free, but she should be hooked due to the addictive stuff inside." He explained. Reaper nodded. He took a cheque out of his pocket and handed it to him, after writing down that it was for 5,000 Lien. The worker took it, nodded at Reaper, and went back to work.
Reaper sighed as he looked back over his workforce. Reaper went back into his room and walked up to his Planning Room.
In here, Reaper would usually plan heists. Now, it was something else.
Reaper's POV. An hour later...
Alright, this is the plan.
I will be entering Beacon and using their facilities to further my business.
Using the pay from being a Hunter,quote 'Saving people's lives and being a uncorruptible force' unquote, I will pay off criminals and mob bosses to work for me, spreading my empire. I will need a deadly reputation in order to do this, so this needs to wait.
The White Fang works with Cinder Falls and Roman Thorwick, the latter dead. She must be looking for someone tough and reliable to take his place and lead his posse. I need to show that reliability and strength. First, I need to find her.
Luckily, I have paid off quite a few White Fang high-ranking Faunas' to look for her hideout. They weren't very against the idea of a massive cash injection to help their cause and some military-grade training for their troops from Santiago.
I think they made the wrong choice about choosing Santiago to train them. He ain't the most inspiring teachers. I can still feel the bruises and cuts from our training sessions, and they were decades ago!
Moving on, the moment I can score a profitable partnership with Cinder, we'll offer her a share of the profits if she will traffic our drugs
. That way, more people want them and more people are willing to pay more for it.
Finally, I received word from my rats in the White Fang... Actually, should I call them something else? They might actually have Rat Faunas' in there. Anyways, I received word from my hired snitches that Cinder wants to steal the plans for Beacon. We don't know why but this could be a one in a million chance to meet her.
Security was...Laughable. My men were able to get in or out in a hour or so. The fact that Aura didn't seem to register against us really helped them with the guards.
*BEEP! BEEP!*
Huh. I checked my phone and noticed that someone named 'The Queen' had sent me a message, asking to meet me.
Now, Santiago read about The Queen and it was a very common nickname for Cinder Falls. This means that she has found out about me stealing the plans before her. I texted her back and started texting Santiago some orders.
The Queen's POV...
Cinder stared at her scroll.
Nice to meet The Queen. I'll go to that meeting, for there must be a King for there to be a Queen. -The King.
Cinder was very interested in who 'The King' was. According to her sources, their men were able to get in and out of the complex without tripping a single alarm, despite the state-of-the-art security there. Not only that but they left a note with 'The King's number for her to find which could only be read after the room reached a certain temperature.
This means that 'The King' knows of her flame abilities and other vital information.
Cinder also knew about a recent drug taking the market by storm. Something much less harmful, cheaper and more efficient than any other drug which has been manufactured by 'The King'.
The drug was called Acid and could prove to be very profitable if Cinder could collaborate with 'The King'. No doubt, Cinder was a master at seduction and deception.
But, 'The King' may be as well. Cinder would have to be lucky, because The King has all the Aces up their sleeves.
That, and the whole 'There must be a King for there to be a Queen' sounded very flirty. Cinder couldn't help but be turned on by the mystery.
Reaper's POV...
The meeting is tomorrow at 3pm. Of course, neither of us are stupid so we will both have people hiding in the shadows, waiting to strike.
But, I'll be a little smarter. I'll come off as flirty and sex-hungry. She'll think that, utilizing her body, she'll be able to eventually bend my mind to her will for a glimpse or touch. She will be a seductive and deceptive individual. I've warned my men about The Queen and, if they want to keep their paycheck and life, to ignore her orders.
For now, I've got some prepping to do.
I'm starting to distribute the other drugs than just Acid. I wonder if it will be a smart investment, but I can only hope. Some of the drugs, through people I'm sending to ruined places of Remnant, are selling really well but some are selling as well as cat shit.
I need some sleep. I'm heading off to bed.
Destiny's knocking in a few hours, and I plan on kicking down the door.
