There was silence in the VIP room as all the guests and the five leaders looked in shock as the body that had now vanished as all that remained were small dust particles.
"I believe this demonstrates the power at my command, not only do I have the ability to drain your bank accounts, but I also have the ability to remove you from existence and leave nobody behind for you friends and family to bury." Adam said calmly.
It was quiet for a moment until surprisingly it was Emma Hopkins who was the first to speak.
"Did you really have to kill him in my club? It's going to cause all sorts of issues for me."
"How is it? Adam asked calmly, "I disintegrated his body so there is no body or blood stains, all you have to deal with is the witnesses here today."
Emma Hopkins thought for a moment before she nodded with a sigh.
"You're that guy from the bike chase on the news." One of the male guests suddenly said, attracting everyone's attention.
"What do you mean Philip?" Sabastian Morose asked the male who just spoke.
"It's been all over the news here in Alamo City since yesterday grandfather. A motorcycle was chasing a car the news agencies have identified as belonging to Justin Philips a coroner and at the end of the chase the rider of the motorcycle shot a red bolt or something that made the car and driver disappear just like that body just now."
"It can make a car vanish also." Oliver Williams said as he swallowed slightly.
"Well now that I have demonstrated some of my capabilities shall we move onto my demand?" Adam asked but continued without even waiting for their response.
"It's rather simple really you all as well as your families and those beneath you will stay out of my way as I kill Francis and Viktor Morose, moreover you won't seek retribution or seek to make a point because me killing them makes you look weak."
There was silence for a moment as everyone thought this over before Isabella Flemming asked, "That's all, you don't want money or anything else?"
"No, that is all." Adam replied calmly.
"After a moment of consideration Isabella Flemming nodded before saying, "I can agree to this, the Fleming family will not interfere and I will instruct all associated with us not to interfere either."
"Thank you Lady Flemming." Adam replied as Isabella nodded in return.
"The Zhao family also will not interfere." Tomio Zhao stated.
"As does the Keita family." Ayana Keita agreed.
"Though I don't really like it, the Williams family will stay out of this." Oliver Williams agreed although grudgingly.
Sabastian Morose was silent for a while as he thought this over, after all it was his son and grandson they were talking about. Although they were not his only children and he never planned to give one of them the position of head when he stepped down, they were in the end still blood.
"Might I ask why you wish to kill my son and grandson along with these other two people?"
"Actually there are three other people, I just haven't got to her yet." Adam said as everyone frowned at how calm he spoke about killing.
Indeed Adam himself was surprised with how naturally it came after that first time where Spector had to intervene.
"In answer to your question however the reason is Viktor killed someone I loved and Francis helped cover it up, therefore I am just returning the favour."
"I see." Sabastian Morose said with a sigh before closing his eyes and saying, "I agree, the Morose family and all those associated with it will not interfere, I just ask that you leave me with something to bury."
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): Wow he got them to agree.]
[Tessisdabest (Imperial Down):He's quite the negotiator.]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Oh please, it's because he has power over them, the one with the most power wins.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Idiot.]
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): While it's true he has power over them that alone would not be enough, he knew how to leverage that power to get what he wanted and don't think that those five are weak. It takes a great deal of strength, cunning and intelligence to be the most powerful on a planet the way those five are.]
"That depends on how things go down." Adam replied before clapping his hands.
"Well now that the negotiations are over let's finish with the carrot, first off all of you with the exception of Mr Morose will have your money returned to you, Spector if you will."
[Affirmative.] Spector replied as four of the leaders looked pleasantly surprised and before checking the accounts and seeing the money had returned.
"Mr Morose I'm sure you can figure out why you're not getting your money back though you will be happy to hear that you have donated it all to several charities so well done for that. As for the rest of you, don't take this as a sign of weakness, this is the carrot and the stick approach and I can empty your accounts anytime I wish." Adam warned.
"Next I advise all of you to find out if your families have any ties with Detective Sarah Sanders of the ACPD. I will not tell you why now as the press will do that tomorrow, however trust me when I say you don't want to be associated with her and if you are then I suggest you prepare your lawyers."
"And finally Miss Hopkins." Adam said turning to Emma Hopkins who looked curiously at him
"Me?" She asked.
"Yes it's nothing major. I just feel slightly guilty for the trouble I caused you so I am helping you overcome it, that being said." Adam began as he looked at all the guests in the VIP room before continuing.
"I suggest you all keep your mouths shut about what happened here today because I am sure it is not only Miss Hopkins that does not want this leaked but also the five families." At this the five heads all nodded in agreement.
"However if someone is foolish enough to talk about this, believe me when I tell you I will know about it and I will be sure to send you off to wherever dear old Donald just went too."
The guests nervously gulped at hearing this and all of them avoided looking him in the eye.
"Well I think that about wraps things up here." Adam said heading for the staff entrance before he stopped and said politely. "I apologize for interrupting your party, please go ahead and carry on now that I am taking my leave."
As he reached the door it unlocked and allowed him to pass through it as the holographic screens for the conference call vanished and Spector announced.
[Target: The Captain Eliminated.]
[Mission Complete.]
[Ending Stream]
Adam left via the staff elevator while disintegrating the two bodies of the guards he had killed earlier before leaving via the underground carpark.
…
Inside Sabastian Morose limousine the man in question leaned back in her comfy seat with a long sigh as he closed his eyes.
After a few minutes the younger man could no longer stay quiet and asked, "What are we going to do about this sir?"
"Do? We do nothing, you saw for yourself what that man is capable of and I can't jeopardize the family over two individuals, even if those two are my son and grandson."
"All we can do is prepare people to replace them in Alamo City once they die, let's just hope that their replacements know how to pick their enemies better."
…
Back at the VIP room after Adam had left people finally breathed a sigh of relief as they broke into conversation about what happened, however the party mood was well and truly ruining so it wasn't long until people started leaving after bidding James Flemming goodbye.
"It seems I brought trouble to your door Miss Hopkins, My apologies." James Flemming said as he found a moment to approach Emma Hopkins.
"I don't believe I can blame you for this Mr Flemming, however if you want to find some way to apologize to me could I ask you to explain things to the two remaining guards by the main elevator?" Emma Hopkins replied.
"Of course Miss Hopkins I will see to it immediately, and once again my apologies." James said before approaching the two remaining guards who were looking for answers about their missing team members.
Emma left the VIP section and returned to her office before pouring herself a big drink and relaxing on the expensive and comfy couch.
As she swirled the drink she thought about what happened and who that man possibly could be, she found him very interesting and wanted to know more about someone brave or foolish enough to challenge the five families. Also the fact that he had gone out of his way to ensure there was no bad blood between them left a favourable impression on her.
After thinking for a while she pulled out her phone before calling a number in her contacts list, after the call connected she said, "Stacey, find out all the information you can on a man named Spector, here is what I know…"
