BXBX NOVEL Chapter 148 - The New Vulture
He put on the Uglass and Ucomms, sitting on the ground in a lotus position. He didn't take the rune seriously before but now. Everything depends on it. He placed the book on his lap, taking a deep breath. He looked up, "Zeus, notify me only when something majors happen"
[[Ok sir]]
With that, Emma opened to the next page and dived into the world of runes.
Seconds turn into minutes, minutes turn into hours, and hours into days. Emma sat on the same spot studying the introduction to rune creation. His body didn't show any sign of fatigue or whatnot. His breathing was steady while every inch of his muscle relaxed. The only time he moved was when his hand turned the book to the next page.
Meanwhile, things were not quiet in Vulture and in other places far from Thango like it was in the sanctuary. Vulture was in uproar with the new changes coming from one company that stood its ground under various threats. The newly created company became the ruling power in Vulture out of the blue. This came as a shock to the people of vulture; they expected bloodshed like it always being in vulture when a powerful family or organization fell from power.
However, to their dismay. Nothing of such happened. The middle power in Vulture was quiet like they didn't exist. Media houses turn blind eyes to what was happening. Yet, people believe it was calm before the storm.
A week went by, but nothing of such happened. But something shocking happened. In that one week, every nefarious activity that normally occurred in Vulture ceased to happen. Every gang small or medium, stay indoors.
What's happening?
Is there going to be another battle?
Why are the news channels not talking about it?
These are all the questions the people are asking each other. However, only the masses are ignorant about the sudden change in vulture. A week ago, a meeting was held in the Vulture mansion. This was not the regular meeting but first in Vulture. It occurred at midnight. Vulture was not the host but two young people. Renata and Mora.
"Welcome everyone to the meeting of the year." Renata in a darkish blue suit and her ash-blond hair glitters off her shoulder. Her bewitching brown eyes glinted, eyebrows like an archer's bows while the brown lipstick moisturized her lips, making her enchanting. However, her sharp gaze sends everyone with intention packing. Beside her was a young man dressed in a suit, the same color as Renata, a shaving hair, dark greenish honest eyes, warm smiles, pointed nose, flat lips turned him into a lovable guy.
Merely looking at the two sitting together makes everyone wonder. They complement each other whilst also contradicting each other. Depending on how you look at it. But the shocker was how two people from different organizations could sit together as a couple. Their organization was destroyed recently, shouldn't they be keeping their head down. Are they not afraid of their head?
Everyone in the big auditorium looked at each other. Most especially, their eyes lingered on Vulture sitting at the other side of the two-eye-catching couple. Shouldn't he be the organizer? However, everyone kept their thoughts to themselves, waiting for how things would unfold. Everyone in the room understands whatever happens here will determine their next cause of action in vulture and also determine the future of Vulture.
"Everyone should relax. Hahaha." Mora's soothing laugh with his lovable smile calms the hearts of the people. His harmless smile gave people that nothing bad will happen in the meeting. "We call this meeting for the betterment of everyone. Whilst also introducing the next notable changes that will happen in Vulture."
Hmm!
Hearing this, the people had already guessed this but nevertheless, the shock they received didn't let their pounding heart come to rest. Most of the people in the room had never attended such a sophisticated meeting. Only a couple of few had attended such a meeting but yet. Even so, they had their spin drenched in a cold sweat. There was once a question ringing in their mind. What kind of power could summon all of them!? And make everyone attend without missing a single person.
"You all realized this is not the vulture of old. This is a new vulture." Renata's icy voice and sharp eyes looked at the face of everyone for a couple of seconds before continuing. "Vulture of old is lawless. But that changes now. However, we don't want to make everything look sudden. We want to carry everyone along. We are not going to turn Vulture into a holy city of some sort. No. No. You can continue your shit, no one cares. But there is going to be regulation that must be strictly followed."
Everyone in the room swallowed the lump in their throat whilst their throat became sour. Some couldn't contain their nervousness, took the water in front of them and gulped them in one swift motion. Why are they nervous? only they could tell.
"Every district will be divided and be placed under the jurisdiction of you. Now, this is where the major changes will occur…" Mora with an assuring smile turned his head and a projection appeared behind him. The projection shows the landscape of Vulture City.
"As you can see, this vulture. Divided into 20 districts. Two out of the district are gone." Mora looked at people when he said gone. Seeing the bewildered look, he chuckled and shook his head lightly. "18 will be divided into 3 regions."
"6 districts make a region. Now, you will be the ruler, governor, mayor, or whatever you choose to call yourself. The economic stability of this district falls on your shoulder. If the district falls beyond the red line, you will face the penalty." Renata added.
When the people heard this, they were flabbergasted, their hearts race, their breathing became erratic. They looked at the two checking if what they said was merely a joke but they saw nothing of such. Especially Renata's expressionless face.
Holy Moly!
They are fucking damn serious!
