"How many casualties do we have, Luca?"
"None, Boss. Zero casualties, but twenty-seven injuries. None are severe enough to require emergency surgery or advanced healing."
"Perfect. How are the shinobi? Were they able to hunt down the rest of White Fang?"
"Yes. They've already taken care of them inside their underground base. The Uzumaki located the base and razed it to the ground."
"How about the tech? There are many of them, and I want some."
Luca picks up a scroll and lays it on the table.
"We managed to steal a few Bullheads from the Atlas Military without them noticing. We also took weaponry and some of Atlas Military's robots."
"That's good. We must reprogram the robots, but it will be a good foundation for the R&D Department. We can use them to produce more equipment for the mundane side."
I want to turn Romania into the world's tech center and use technology from another world to reach that goal. At the moment, only the RWBY world has that kind of tech.
"How about the others?"
I mean medical tech. The RWBY world may rely on Dust as its primary energy source, but its medical technology is still far above ours because its world is dangerous and requires a high level of medical knowledge and equipment.
"Sadly, they can't enter the R&D Department in Atlas because there's no way for them to enter the building without raising suspicion. It seems they tightened security considerably and now require strict clearance to enter and exit rooms."
Yikes. It's because of me, isn't it? I raided their place, and now they're on high alert. Oh well.
"We can raid the alternate version of Atlas where they aren't as alert as the one in this world."
"Then I'll tell them to make more Storage Scrolls for a bigger haul next time."
"Do that. How are the others? How did Ozpin and his inner circle react to our presence?"
"Panic, shock, and surprise, Boss. Ozpin shows his age because he's the calmest. So far, he's told the others to wait and see. However, after finding the clue we left, he sent Qrow and James to Mistral to kill Leonardo Lionheart, the headmaster of Haven Academy."
He hands me a scroll and continues.
"This is the report from the Anbu sent to Mistral to monitor them. The plan is to attack Leonardo alone and expose his treachery to the world."
"That's good. In any case, maintain the fortress and keep at least fifty-five personnel there. They will defend and relay what the people from that side of the world want."
"Ah, about that—Martha has a suggestion before she departs for the US to handle the mundane business, Boss."
"Oh? What is it?"
"She suggested creating an ambassador in Remnant to manage relations between our two factions. We have many people suited to diplomatic roles joining our family, and this would be a perfect job for them."
"Hm. You're right. We'll send people there. In fact, tell the Uzumaki to bring a law book for us. I need to know the laws about founding new villages and towns in that world. If we want a permanent presence there, it's better to establish a permanent base."
"I'll tell the others, Boss."
"Good."
I stand up from my chair and stretch a little. I look at the clock and see that it is almost midday. There is still time for me to play with Valerie and Gasper.

|3rd POV|
Romania. When people hear that country, they will think of a country in the middle of Europe. However, that has no longer been the case lately. In the mundane world, Romania has become the center of technology.
However, the announcement of how they make working robotic limbs put this country on the map.
After the first test, they found that there was nothing wrong with the robotic limb, and there was no complication in the surgery. People started to fly across the world to get limb replacements. There are a lot of rich people who lost their limbs who are willing to pay a good amount of money to have their limbs back.
However, that is not the only case. With the Millefiore Family finally able to create a synthetic dust crystal, the energy company started to spread across the world. The Millefiore Industry became a company known for its high-end tech and green energy products.
At first, it spread throughout the Balkan region before slowly going west to Austria, and then to Italy.
Sadly, the Millefiore Industry cannot spread far to the east because Russia does not want them in its country. Russia has a massive energy company, and they don't want competition, and because of this, the Millefiore Industry only reaches Ukraine.
However, slowly but surely, the Millefiore industry will take over as the biggest energy producer in Europe.
A lot of companies that require a lot of energy to produce their goods start to flock to Romania to get that cheap energy for their factories. The country gets a lot of money from taxes and bribes, and the Millefiore Family gets a lot of influence and money because they are the ones controlling the Crime World and the Business World of Romania.
Because of this influx of people immigrating to Romania in search of work and opportunity, the Criminal World also gets busy. A lot of gang and crime syndicates try to make a root in the country. Sadly for them, they do not get far before they suddenly disappear into nothing.
It is to the point of an Open Secret for the people who come to Romania.
If you come here to try to be a gang leader or create a crime family, you will disappear into the night. The people know who they are because anyone who thinks they can create a new gang or crime family in Romania will be visited by a group of black suit men who knock on their door.
They will honestly tell them about their family activity and give them a warning.
When they ignore them? Well, those who were involved will disappear into the night and never be seen again. People try to go to the police, but the police will never do anything. Those people don't know that the Millefiore Family is the one controlling the police force, and anyone in the know of the supernatural world will not mess with the true ruler of Romania.
Even the media makes sure not to tell anything; even when they tell something, they cannot arrest anyone because there is no evidence. CCTV? The footage is gone, erased by someone. Witness? Well, the witness says there is nothing wrong.
The people start to call those black suit men the Umbrele Negre or the Black Shadows. They are the bringers of bad news and the ones who shall bring darkness to your house if you neglect their warning.
However, it is not all Grimm and Gloom. A group of white suit men will sometimes visit anyone who follows the rule. However, this one is the bringer of good news instead of bringing bad news.
They are the ones who help the people in need. Homeless people are given work, a home, and food. Are you sick? You can come to them when you see one, and they will take you to the local hospital without the need to pay them back.
The work they give you is also fair. They pay you a good amount and will never cheat you on your payment. You can buy a good house and start a family with enough hard work and dedication.
However, what people aim for is the mythical invitation. It is just a whisper. When the people in white like you, they will come to your house and get invited to their family. Once you are invited, you will be trained for a month before you can return.
After the training, you will become a member, and as a member, you get a lot of benefits. Hospital? Free. Business? Will always be protected and successful. Your family? They can enjoy retirement because the Family will take care of them.
People know that the family is a mafia or a criminal family. However, they do not care. Those people help keep the country safe, and the police even help them. What is there to complain about when they are doing good for the community and the country?
The people on the outside say a lot of negative things about this family, but the people who experience it will always be grateful for them. As long as you follow the rule, which basically says don't be a dick, you are good.
Sadly, peace finally breaks when a dickhead thinks he can secure a foundation in Romania. What makes matters worse is that he has a connection and is backed by a supernatural faction.
Once again, the Millefiore Family enters the spotlight and shows the world the reason why they should not be underestimated.
