An expensive and large car stopped right in front of a large mansion, much bigger than the house of mysteries. It had a massive garden that surrounded the entire mansion and multiple maids were waiting for someone.
Kael, Caspian and the girl, whose name was Rose, got out of the car. Caspian slightly bowed and pointed his arm in the direction of the house. "Welcome. I shall bring you to the CEO."
Kael clicked his tongue, his hands in his pocket and followed Caspian. "Tch, what a pain in the ass. I wish I could just burn them all."
Caspian and Kael made it to the CEO, who was calmly sitting in his office, sipping tea. "Are you the man who saved my daughter?" The CEO asked, his eyes observing carefully.
Kael sighed, "I guess."
CEO got up and shook his hand. "Thank you. Truly. She is my only daughter. Without her, I don't know...what..."
"Are you done?" Kael thought but wished he could say that out loud.
"What can I do for you? Name Anything!" The CEO asked, placing his hand on Kael's shoulder.
Kael sharpened his eyes but forced a smile. "No, no, I don't help people for money or any prize, I help people because their smile brings happiness to my face. That happiness is the reward that I get. Now, then, I have some important business so if you don't mind, I shall be leaving. It was a pleasure to meet you."
Kael gulped. "Is that good enough?" He thought.
CEO slightly nodded, processing everything he said. Then he smiled, "Of course, you can leave. but you can come here anytime you want!"
Kael forced yet another slight smile, nodding and then leaving in the very next second. Making his way outside. However, Rose was waiting for him at the gate. "Oh! Uhm, I wanted to say thank you once again."
"You're welcome," Kael said, not bothering to put up a smile.
Rose hesitated but said, "Uhm...if you have some free time at Saturday...then...could we have some lunch together?"
Kael paused, his eyebrow slightly twitching. "That's practically a date! Who the hell does this bitch she is? Has she looked in the mirror? Wait...I mean she actually looks pretty dece- never mind. I should just reject her," He thought.
"I hate to say it...but, I actually-" Before Kael could reject her offer, he felt someone pinching him, most likely Caspian. "Fuck? What is he tryna say? Why the hell would I force mysel-" Suddenly, the pinching got stronger.
"Ouch-! I mean, sure..." Kael said, succumbing to the pain. "I'll t-try..."
Rose's face lit up instantly, a slight smile appearing on her face. "Really?! I look forward to it."
"Caspian will pick you up, he probably will find out where you live!" Rose said, leaving so he wouldn't be able to see her blushing. "Bye!"
Kael gave Caspian a cold stare and then left. "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Why do I have to ruin my Saturday? Just because they think they're rich, doesn't mean you can just order around people!"
"Whatever. It's not like I'll go. I'll just go outside for a walk that day," Kael thought, slightly smirking.
In the very next day, he was sitting in a restaurant with Rose right in front of him, enjoying the food. "Quite delicious isn't it?" Rose said with a smile.
Kael looked bored out of his mind but he forced a smile just in case Caspian was watching.
Later on, after the date, he started to wonder about something. "Why am I even scared of that guy? I could probably beat him in a fight. It's not like he has any powers...right? Ah, whatever, I don't even wanna think about that guy."

"Sir. One of our members has reported something strange. Apparently, there's someone that is extremely powerful and can alter future events to his liking," Said an Undead Crow member, who had his hands behind his back. "He might serve to be a problem."
Mr. Crow thought for a second and then replied, "Then we'll simply defeat him. Tell Alex and Ronx, they should be able to defeat him since they are the two strongest members of our organization."
"What about Devenier? Isn't he the strongest?" The Undead Crow member asked.
"He is. Even Ronx and Alex can't compare to him. However, he is quite unpredictable so it won't be a good idea," Mr. Crow answered, having three cigars in his mouth.
"Got it, sir," The Undead Crow member replied and left.

Meanwhile, in a dark alleyway, blood was scattered everywhere so much that even the walls looked like they were painted in red. Dozens of bodies lied on the ground, some even hanging off ropes like they were clothes.
In the middle of it all was Henry. "I am the king and I shall rule from the shadows, I will be known as the emperor of fate, the king in shadows. I am the strongest man in the entire world. Because fate cannot be beaten," Henry said, satisfied with his killing.
"It is just a matter of time...before fate brings me two delicious meals," Said henry, slightly laughing.
