Pigs in power and dog fights.

"What happened here!?" A man on his mid-forties walked inside Lilac's office with momentum.

Lilac who was soothing her mother's nerves gave him a silent glance then kissed her mother on the forehead. "It's alright Ma, I expected it somehow, I received at least three threats to my life in college."

Margaret shook her head "This is no bitter boy angry because you made them lose face! this one acted!"

"Enough Margaret, your daughter is the one afflicted, why are you acting with panic when she's not?" The man neared.

Margaret turned her head to him, there was nothing of the worried look she gazes her daughter. "You're the one who put her up to this world! You're her father! And you're not worried!!?" She then widened her eyes and laughed in mockery. "Could it be, you're jealous of her, because you never had an attempt at your life?"

The man, Gerald, had his eyes grow dark in a frown. "Enough of you, go away, I need to talk business with our daughter, it's not a place for somebody simple like you to butt in!! He slapped the wall.

Margaret gritted her teeth, Lilac hid a cold gaze.

"Do I have to say it twice?" Gerald said while squinting. Lilac patted Margaret's shoulders and nodded with a smile, after a deep breath the woman walked away.

Gerald sighed and gazed at Lilac despondently. "You're too soft, people in the game are pawns, people outside the game are tools for the game and personal relief. Although different ends, your mother was to me, what the brother I brought back for you will become. Well, I already got all I could form her family and her beauty faded, I have no more use to her so I don't care what you do, but be rational."

Seeing the cold look she couldn't hold back anymore he walked closely. "You should listen to me more, after all, I'm your father."

She didn't answer as he smiled and turned to the blue-haired woman behind him. "So?" He asked.

"I collected the Mana aura from the spear and will process a charm with it to track back the owner. It'll take around six hours"

Gerald nodded and spoke aloud while looking at the hole on the wall.

"I came because an attack on our home must be retaliated with brutal force but depending on the enemy, I'll have to use outside influence."

Lilac immediately looked savagely at him. Making Gerald sneer. "I'll use the fiance I tied to you, you should grow out of that childish stubbornness, sex and weddings are all just power tools."

When her knuckles were white, and the wine-red nail began to breach the skin on her palms, he walked back and paused on the doorframe. "Do it willingly, because, I need that man's power, so even if I have to feed you some drugs and tie your legs open for him. I'll do it."

With the sound of closing doors, Lilac ran to the bathroom and leaned over the toilet bowl. After letting out her breakfast and lunch, she stared down.

"I need power..." She muttered, "people like him shouldn't be in the top..." with bloodshot eyes she bit on her lips. "To take them all down... I have to be the most powerful!"

while she reflected, a calm melody resounded. With a sigh, she pressed the button on her wristwatch, a small window with Dionisio's smiling face appeared on it.

She stilled for a moment since his face had a few drops of blood on.

"My beautiful sister! I found the guy who threw the spear and took a name out of him, listen."

The video went from Dionisio to a man crying and begging. With a mingled purplish arm. "Little brother, be good, say the name again." She could hear Dionisio say.

"FREDERICK BOCH! FREDERICK BOCH!"

"Good boy!" Dionisio said then slapped the man to sleep.

"H-How did you find him?" She couldn't help but ask.

Dionisio smiled while cleaning the blood off his cheeks with a white napkin."I just traced his mana signature, I was also surprised, I thought someone who didn't bother to cover his tracks would be strong, but it's just a whiny pig."

'T-traced? The high-tier mage following Gerald can only do it after six hours, this guy, who never practiced magical theory or exercised as a warrior, did it in less than one hour after leaving this place!?'

She bit her lips 'He's too much of a variable...'

"I'm on my way to this Frederich fellow, I just called to discuss my reward."

"...Frederich Boch is the second son of this zahir star's Hurra family, his family is the owner of this star's Rich Meat Industries branch, part of one of the five beast meat producer industries in this galactical alliance, his family produces and export enough to two small neighboring stars, Although they lost a lot of ground the last semester they are still not something you can deal with. Just come back, I'll find another way."

"Don't worry about that, my lady, first my reward; I want another kiss." He adjusted the suit he put on before leaving the manor.

She frowned and said, "We're siblings."

"So were adam, eve and their puppies." His playful tone somehow eased her mind. She sneered "We evolved beyond their era, even if we didn't, my kiss won't be bough with such small things."

He laughed out loud, "Fine, then invite me to the little girl's football game, and have the kitchen roast the leg of a land mammal beast, anything with four legs will do But it has to be a magical beast. It'll be late and I'll be quite hungry when I get back." Without waiting for an answer, he turned the wrist caller off.

His smile faded, 'She was too pale, there was something on the corner of her mouth, it isn't strange to vomit because of shock, but she had help right before I left the main gate... her hands were also clenched hard, there were some small involuntary spasms too.'

With a frown, he slapped the tortured man awake.

"Tell me where you and Frederich Boch would meet for the last half of the money, I want to chat with him."

The smile on Dionisio was grim.

*****

The lights were too bright, the owner of the restaurant wanted to avoid his wealthy clients hurting themselves and blaming the darkness of the place rather than their drunkness.

So was what Frederich Boch heard right after he entered the bathroom and protected his eyes from the light.

With annoyance and without looking, he shooed away the man who was holding a mop and bucket, despite wearing a suit. "Got away, I want privacy, I'll file a complaint to the owner about your chattiness later."

After speaking, Frederich looked to the mirror in front of him, he was a bronze-colored man with a white beard and combed hair. "That useless thing, I told her to kill off that weak fellow and come back right away, why isn't she here yet?" He slapped the bathroom counter in anger.

A hand covered his mouth, another slapped his temple, Frederich Boch fell to the ground unconscious

Dionisio put the sign of maintenance on the door and locked it. He wore the janitor's rubber gloves and got to work.

"She gave me the impression it'd be too annoying to kill you, so..." He muttered and got hold of a knife he took from one of the guest tables.

He remembered the small cut made by the spear on Lilac's cheeks and cut Frederich's whole cheek off, the man woke up twice during the process.

Dionisio the turned the man over and carved words on the other cheek. [An assassin spear tore through the skies and scratched my empress's cheeks, the empress said that one shouldn't mind a dog's bite, But this black knight didn't mind steeping low and biting back.]

Finished, he tossed the piece of the cheek on his hands down the toilet and pulled the discharge button.

It all didn't take more than ten minutes. Dionisio sighed aloud.

"How dumb can you be to only bring one bodyguard and have her finish the deal and leave you alone in a restaurant? You felt that nobody would dare to mess with you because you are the son of the family who owns a single, small, filial of a spacewide industry? Naive."

Dionisio took a selfie on the luxurious bathroom without showing Frederich, as he learned on the internet, and posted on Nosebook with the caption; "The first task is done, feeling good."

He found it weird doing it, but on the internet, it said you could grow close to, and meet all kinds of people doing this kind of thing.

He opened the doors of the restaurant to the restaurant and walked out, but a woman locked eyes on him.

She had short black hair tied into a ponytail, average male height and although hidden by her tight clothes, he knew she had powerful muscles on her.

"And I thought I could do my thing and not tire myself. But you were annoyingly fast. Didn't get rid of the body?" He said.

She was the bodyguard of Frederich.

Without a word she walked by him on her way to the bathroom. Dionisio narrowed his eyes. 'She's equivalent to a knight of the fourth rank... My current self can only bully people bellow the second rank."

The night was dark and cold, his black eyes hid a strange emotion.

'Even if I run, she'll catch up to me...even if the authorities come, they'll be useless...' He heard the specific clacking of her heels coming his way.

Dionisio laughed, 'Birds die for food, men die for treasures, but this black knight dies for pleasure! Why run from a good challenge!?'

He walked away with leisure into the desolate alleys, and she, the bodyguard, followed.
