1 Ch-1: The Last Remington

Imperial Palace, King's City

The entire palace was in chaos as flames engulfed the 5-story establishment. The Victorian-styled court was burning, and the soldiers were busy evacuating the Royal Family. The Fire-Fighters were unable to reach the palace at the right time due to the muddy and wet roads of the Bhakban forest.

A young child was running away from the wrath of Fire as it was destroying everything in its path. The Fire burnt his Luxurious clothes, and ashes covered his face. Turning his head and looking at the burning palace, tears escaped his pitch-black eyes.

He remembered that his mother sacrificed her life for his survival. A big chunk of the floor fell from above and crushed her but not before pushing him to safety. Her lifeless body would haunt him forever.

A soldier spotted him running away and stopped him. The soldier put him in the ambulance and asked him some questions in a caring voice.

"Does it hurt?" The soldier asked kindly, and the boy answered with a trembling voice, "N-o, I-it does not..". Seeing that boy was able to speak, The soldier continued, "Do you remember your name?" The boy nodded.

"What is your name?" The soldier again asked, and the boy replied with a fearful yet calm voice.

"I-it's Tobias Remington."

The soldier's eye widens slightly in surprise. He recognized the name. He quickly took out his communicator and pressed some buttons. With a beep, the communicator connected to his superior.

"Sir, I think I have found a surviving Royal Family member." The soldier reported to his superiors about the last survivor of the Remington Family.

. . . . . . . . . . . . Flashback ends . . . . . . . . . . . .

Crimson Café, London.

Inside the café, a teenager was sitting near the window-side table. The teenager had black-hair and pitch-black eyes. He wore a violet shirt buttoned to his collar and black pants with skinned snake shoes.

The clothes looked pretty ordinary without any famous brands. Still, anyone who is in the upper-class could tell them at first glance that these clothes are costly. Only people who are worth at-least billions could afford it to wear casually.

It looked pretty low-key. Looking outside the window, the teenager took a bite of his burger and observed the outside world. Police were chasing a car, and A child was crying because his ice-cream fell. Also, a woman was yelling at a man who appears to be her boyfriend.

"Tobi! Are you listening to me?!" Turning to see a woman sitting in front of him, he sighed and said, "Yes! I am." A pretty dull response coming from him made her angry.

"That's it! *thud* It's over between us from now on." She angrily slammed the table and exclaimed. Maybe, he should have expected this. He knew that he was not boyfriend material.

Looking at the disappearing image of his ex-girlfriend, Tobi expressionlessly ate his burger. Not being bothered about his recent break-up.

A smirk formed on his face, and he took out his napkin and wiped his mouth. With an IQ of 195, he was proclaimed genius by his peers. From the start of the week, He knew that his ex-girlfriend was about to break-up with him.

He had observed then calculated. Since the past week, she had been receiving expensive gifts. The new lip-stick, Mark of a lovebite on her neck. He knew that she started to cheat on him.

Observing her behavior and expressions, He knew that after seven days, at noon, She would break-up with him. Not that he was a seer, He was a genius.

He wanted to see that his prediction was correct, So he waited for Seven days. He could have broken the ties with her from the start. Not he was in love with her. He was experimenting.

Tobi turned his head, looked out from the window, and saw his ex-girlfriend kissing a middle-aged man sitting inside a BMW.

Not that she was a virgin; after all, he took her virginity on the first week of dating. A cold smile formed on his face, and he took out a golden platted phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

Without replying to the greeting, He said in a calm tone. "Oswald! Do as I told you." He cut off the call and again looked at the stupid couple.

Within the next hour, Both of them will be on the streets being homeless and starved to death. After all, That is what you get in return when you mess with the only heir of the Remington Family.

If someone knew that Tobi's ex-girlfriend broke up with him because she found someone richer than him, they would probably die from laughter.

She lost a diamond being too busy collecting Stones.

Tobi sighed and stood up from his seat without paying any bill. He owns the company that owns another company that owns the Café he was sitting in. He does not need to pay bills in his establishment.

. . . . . . .

Royal Garden of Eden, London.

Tobi looked at the mirror, examining his features. Although He wasn't narcissistic, he knew that he was very handsome compared to other people and had a healthy body.

He possesses an athletic and sturdy body that measures about 180cm tall (5'11) and has jet black hair and pitch-black eyes. He is often called an extremely handsome individual since his childhood.

He has an elegant demeanor, and his aura screams nobility and authority to other people in the upper-class society.

Nobility is engraved in his bones.

Today is the day he will officially inherit the family business and become CEO of Remington Corporation. He has been preparing for this day for months, and now he has enough experience and knowledge to run a company.

He looked at his butler, standing there waiting for him to enter the car, and smiled. Oswald has been serving the Remington family for decades and treats Tobi like his own son. After all, he had no family since his wife's death.

Oswald is extremely loyal faithful to the Remington family.

"Hope your break-up with Ms.Reima does not affect today's meeting." Oswald kindly smiled and opened the door of the car, and waited for Tobi to sit.

"I want a satisfying result, Oswald." Tobi sat inside the back-seat of the car and said, "And I was not serious with that relationship. After all, She does not deserve to be Ms.Remington."

Tobi's words were rude, but Oswald knew that his master's ex-girlfriend would never be able to represent Remington's house in front of various representatives and Royalties as Ms.Remington.

"That is why I never told her about my status. She would cling to me for riches." Tobi said and turned to look at his bodyguard and gestured to start the ride.

"A typical gold digger." Oswald chuckled and sat in the front seat next to the driver. Tobi ignored his butler's remark and gazed at the hustling city.

Today is a special day for him. He would become CEO of Remington Corporation and also the official head of Remington Family.

He needed to look perfect in front of guests and media. After all, He was the only Remington, and everyone wants to be in his good graces. Many are eying for the spot of Ms.Remington, and he knew that he needed to keep an eye on schemes of those upper-class sluts.

At the age of thirteen, He was drugged by the young miss of the Winston family. But due to his unique constitution, he was able to become sober and gain his consciousness.

Since then, Everyone knew the ruthless methods and the Remington family's power as no Winston family member in the world survived.

This event was shocking for the upper-class as the Winston family was one of the world's most vital families and held the same power as the Rothschild family. That day, everyone witnessed the massacre of Winston, and surprisingly no one questioned the Remington family.

That showed that the Remington family is more powerful than the top families of the world. This is true as the Remingtons were always behind the scenes and only stood out as the Viscount family.

But Queen Victoria somehow got to know the power of Remington's and got them promoted to Duke rank since that day; They are Royalties.

Remington is a very mysterious family, and since the BC, they were always growing and controlling the world from behind. That also includes various wars and historical events.

But no one except a few knows of this, and others never survived to tell the tale. Despite losing all except one member in the Fire, Remington still did not lose its prestige and powers.

Remington controls the world, and if it is ever destroyed, The world will again suffer Ice-age.

Why?

Because the 666th patriarch of the Remington family was a maniacal genius. He had some weird quirks, he spread several explosives like missiles and nuclear weapons throughout the world, and no one knew what they were.

When there is no person with Remington's blood alive in the world, Those nukes and missiles will explode, taking the world as a whole with them.

PS, no one, even Tobi, knows of this. This was a personal secret of the 666th patriarch.

. . . . . . .

The driver parked Tobi's car in front of the entrance of Remington Enterprise.

Tobi walked out of the car and elegantly looked at the time on his watch. He entered the Reception, and without an appointment, he walked towards the board meeting room.

The receptionist did not stop him as she recognized his butler, who followed him to the meeting. No one in the company was aware that their future boss walked inside the building.

Fate had a different plan for Tobi. Unknowingly, Tobi's life will be changed from the day he took the seat of CEO.

The supernatural will start to invade the unsuspecting world.

Still, the world had chosen its defender, who would fight against them.

. . . . . . .

"We have found a suitable candidate for the mistress." A skeleton wearing armor said in a high pitched voice. *thud* The person next to the skeleton pushed him and looked at the picture of Tobi ignoring his partner.

"Damn! *ouch* My bone!" Skeleton exclaimed and jumped at his partner. They were about to bicker suddenly they heard the sound of footsteps, and suddenly bowed. They said in a respectful voice.

"Lady Death!"
