Atlantis

I calmly walk into the conference room. Everyone else is already here in person. That is, except for Amon, who never physically participates, but instead participates remotely online.

They are not exactly thrilled about today's sudden meeting. I walk slowly across the room and take my seat. I get comfortable before I give Amon's instruction that we can begin.

 "I'm glad you all gathered here so quickly, even on this holiday. I know today's meeting was called very suddenly, but there is a reason for it. Finally, the time has come to implement the project that Daniel has been working on for a long time. He will now tell you more about the project and its goal. I will then forward you a file containing the details and other necessary information about the project.

"The project is called Atlantis. The goal of the project is to build a gigantic city that will float on the Atlantic Ocean. This city will be called Atlantis and will not fall under any existing country and will become the new headquarters of the company. The ultimate goal is to create a floating city-state that will be governed under the Fate Circle with Amon as its king." My words leave the others in shock, though they quickly compose themselves and begin to study the files Amon forwarded to them and think about the pros and cons of this plan.

"I know it's not a very appropriate question, but why did you decide to establish a kingdom instead of a republic?" asks Rafaelo Ramirez, a middle-aged Brazilian and the head of the finance department, which is in charge of all finances and the bank founded together with the department almost three years ago .

"It is easy. Monarchy represents an absolute government in which others have no right to speak. We can have complete control over all of Atlantis.

"Of course you're right, I didn't think about it."

There is a minute of silence, which is finally ended by Amon, in his grave voice: "Does anyone else have any questions about the project? I believe everything needed is already mentioned in the folders I sent you, so it's time to announce who will be in charge of this project.

After much deliberation, Daniel and I decided to put the head of the history department, Filip Fersen, in charge of this project."

Filip stands up in surprise and clenches his hands into fists excitedly. He then puts his right hand to his heart, looks admiringly at the projection of Amon and declares, "I will do anything to successfully complete the project you have chosen to entrust me with, you can count on me Mr. Atlante."

"Excellent, I'm glad to hear that. Daniel, as the strategist behind the project, will support you in your efforts and if there is any change in the plans, he will notify you in time. You can use any of the company's resources to implement the project. I hereby announce the end of the extraordinary meeting. Have a magical holiday." Amon's projection turns off and the meeting is officially over.

The participants of the meeting slowly separate until only me and Filip remain in the room. He doesn't like me very much, so he's probably not too happy to have to work with me, but that doesn't matter, he'll follow Amon's orders regardless of his feelings. She admires him so much.

While sitting comfortably in the chair, I mockingly watch Filip. After everyone else has left, she places her locks on the table and buries her face in her hands. He sits like that for a while, probably trying to calm down and balance his emotions.

He must really hate working with me. Well, I'm not surprised at him. I'm not exactly a saint. He also sometimes does dirty work for the company, but he never does it for fun, he has his principles. I am different, I follow my desires. I do whatever I want and the company always takes care of the mess. I think I'm going to have some fun after we both finish it, I've been so busy finishing Sonia for the last couple of weeks that I haven't been out to enjoy some of that fun.

He takes a deep breath and exhales. He gets up from the table and walks over to me. I am the main creator of the Atlantist project, so cooperation with me is inevitable. It's time to tell him everything he needs to know now so he can start implementing the project.
