Chapter 57 - Jackass

Jacques Schnee was furious. Slamming his hand on the desk, he yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Unacceptable! I thought you told me that this was in the bag!"

"But Mr. Schnee," his lawyer started. "Your wife has also gained a staggering opposition. Familial board members, White Fang affiliates, military personal, and even public support."

"Bah! I pay enough of our board members to outnumber her. I'm talking about the fact that you're losing to... to ANIMALS!"

"Regardless of who they are, the White Fang has presented a powerful case. The public is spinning a story about how the SDC is ignoring basic Faunus Labor Laws."

"I don't care! I want her out! I'll throw as much money at this as I can, just get rid of this mess."

The lawyer paused for a moment.

"Sir. I may have... an idea. Do you remember that one fellow from a month ago at a charity ball."

"Dominic? That low upstart owner of that tiny local Dust shop. What about him?"

"Remember how he recently got into an... unfortunate accident."

Jacques paused for a moment, before leaning his elbows on the desk and holding his palms together.

"I'm listening."

"I know a guy. We have utilized his services in the past for certain... dirty tasks."

"...what's his name?"

"Black," the lawyer answered. "Marcus Black."
