I know that I am breaking every single rule in the book of a successful villain... but as long as you have the sides covered, a little leniency is alright.
He started laughing. "You think that you can take me down on your own? A lone wolf can't kill a lion."
Lion? Does he really consider himself to be a lion? He is nothing more than a turkey in terms of intelligence and a hyena when it comes to courage.
This truly made me chuckle. "You don't really think of yourself as a lion, do you?" I would love to believe that he was being sarcastic.
He frowned. "Marcellus, you made a big mistake by walking in here… alone."
Still cocky, huh?
"Well, I can say the same for you. You don't have any security either, my friend." I know what he is going to answer with.
"And what makes you think that I am alone?" I wonder if all the third-rate villains use this line.
I played along. "I don't see anyone besides you?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
Annnnnd… there it was. The evil laugh that every villain uses when they 'think' that they have won.
"I am not alone, Marcellus." His grin was disgusting. "BOYS!"

Both of us waited for a few seconds, for some badass men in black to come barging in and held me at a gunpoint…. But Nope!
His eyes widened. "Boys! Come in!"
He must have expected me to bring someone with me. Or at least considered me bringing Sebastian, who is a mutant. And since Sebastian shredded those mercenaries, one would believe that Edward would have upped his game.
He didn't.
He was panicking to the point of sweating through all his pores. "This is no time to play around you fools! Shoot him!"
I shook my head at his outburst. "*Sigh* Looks like your boys won't be coming anytime soon, Edward." If looks could kill, I would have been dead by now.
"Since they are not coming, maybe I should call mine." He paled as he realized the meaning behind my words.
"Boys." Unlike his dramatic act, I simply called my boys.
*THUD* *THUD* *THUD* *THUD*
One by one the bodies of the mercenaries fell from the ceiling… until there were fourteen dead bodies on the floor.
The already pale Edward looked like a ghost at this point.
I shook my head looking at the corpses. "We need to improve our communication skills. Boys, show yourselves."
Although, I did like the show. I just wanted them to reveal their presence… but not in this manner.
Again, I did enjoy the show.
Out of all the members from the association, only these three know my true identity.
The three ninja boys appeared behind me. "Now, we both know the reason as to why your boys didn't respond." Corpses don't speak… unless necromancy.
"How?" He asked, gulping thickly.
"It's quite simple." I smirked. "My boys are better than yours."
He was terrified but I didn't want to waste any more time talking. "So, Edward… I cannot kill you." I said which confused him before a look of relief washed over his face.
"Tell me what you want… Money, women, power? I can give all of them to you!" Why do they always jump to this specific conclusion?
"*Shuush* I wasn't done talking." He flinched. "I won't be killing you, but someone else will."
The right belongs to Sebastian.
"What do you mean?" Do I answer him?
Nah, too much trouble.
"You will find out soon." *Click* I clicked my fingers and instantly one of the ninja boys hit Edward with the hilt of his sword… knocking him unconscious.
"Take him. We need to bring him to Sebastian. I prefer to keep my promises… if I can." Now, it all comes down to Selene.
"Don't fail me, Priestess of Black."

Edward was acting weird and I don't know the cause of it. He said that the execution went smoothly… but I feel like he is hiding something.
"Just don't do anything stupid, Edward." He already did, but I hope he doesn't do anything beyond that.
"What are you mumbling about?" Looking straight, I saw the newest beautiful black-haired member of our club, 'Selene Gallio' sitting in front of me.
"It's nothing, Lady Selene." She smiled.
"Even if there is something, you shouldn't worry about that. Today we should enjoy ourselves. It's not every day that we get so much free time." True, contradictory to one's belief. Being the King or Queen of Hellfire Club is extremely difficult. The number of meetings and paperwork that we need to attend… is ludicrous.
"You are right, I shouldn't overthink, not today." I need this day off.
But looking at her, something clicked inside my head. "I don't want to come off rude, but how do you manage your lifestyle, Your Majesty?"
She seemed confused. "What do you mean?."
"I mean… how do you manage an entire kingdom on top of being a part of this club, not to mention all those industries that you run." She is truly a role model for every woman out there.
She giggled. "It's taxing at first, but you get used to it."
I can't even imagine myself doing half of the things that she does.
"But, doesn't it get tiring? Doing everything on your own… without a man or a woman to give you company?" She smirked when I asked that.
"I don't need a man to help me run my country… but I do need a man to keep me company." She looked at me. "Let's just say that I am currently testing the said man… and if he succeeds, he will be my king."
This is news to my ears. She has someone that she fancies? Or at least someone that she thinks is worthy enough to be her partner?
"I haven't heard of this before." She nodded.
"Understandable. I don't like talking about my personal life." Maybe that is one of the reasons that she is successful.
"He is still in trial period but he is proving himself to be quite capable. Starting from the bottom and ending at the top… that's the kind of guy he is." He sounds like a capable man, but why do I get the feeling that I know him.
"Do… I know him?" I think that I know a man like that. Someone who rose from the bottom to the near top.
She grinned. "Oh, you do know him, sweetie." I do?
"So, who is he?" Her smile... scared me.
"Don't worry… because you will be meeting him pretty soon."
I was unable to ask what she meant, as I felt myself blacking out.
"It was nice talking to you, White Queen."
