After it was done and everyone signed the papers, Aegis let them out with one final warning of not trying to do anything stupid. Just like he found their secrets, he will find if they try to damage him...
Of course, this Aegis said openly, but as he promised to protect his family, he doesn't mind becoming monsters others fear. He made in them all one little glyph with a straightforward command that will make them vegetable if he finds out they want to ignore his warning...
Aegis knows that this move will make titanic waves in Atlas, no this will make everyone in the four kingdoms ask how he has done it...
But Aegis isn't worried...
The Atlas laws are screwed so much that even if his action comes to light, there would be no sanctions or danger to him or his family as he will make sure they know that if he falls, he will take the entire Atlas with him...
"Um? Sir, I want to thank you once again for freeing me."
The red haired woman said as she was the last person in the room with Aegis...
"You don't need to thank me, what I had done was just for my own good, not yours."
Aegis said with a matter of fact tone, but the woman didn't lose her smile. No, her smile just broaden.
"I know, I know I was just nothing more than a side treat, but still, I want to repair it to you somehow."
She said as she flexs her abudant abdonemnt.
"You don't need to thank me... And please do not forget im thirteen years old."
Aegis said as he saw what the woman wanted.
"Eh? that will not do and don't worry, even I had my first time when I was twelve, Father takes me on one his party where his colleagues were drunk enough to ignore our age difference."
She said with a smile, but Aegis could feel a storm brewing in her green eyes...
"Nevermind, I do not wish to sleep with a woman I don't have an emotional attachment."
Aegis said, and the woman's face fell, but after a while, she just again smiled...
"Verry, well, but remember that if you need any help, you could always call me."
The woman said and gave Aegis a peck on his cheek as she walked off with a considerable and seductive sway of her wide hips...
Aegis just sighted and made his own way outside, and as he felt the first rays of sun on his face, he smiled as he knew that the new age for Atlas is coming...
The Schnee Age...
------
It was ten days from the incident that was called the Atlas storm as more than 40% different percent of all businesses were given to Schnees who with they dust mines become true business overlords...
And all of that done to be the boy no older than thirteen...
Mused man with silver-grey hair as he took another sip from his mug...
Hmm, that boy is in an age where boys commonly show the desire to become huntsmen. Maybe that's worth effort...
Mussed man as he looked from his tower upon Beacon academy...
He pulled out a scroll and dialed one of his more used numbers.
"Ah, Qrow? I hope I don't interrupt you, but I have one matter I wish you will take care of."
There was the voice of the man who clearly was drunk...
"Yes, Yes, I know, but this really needs investigation."
The man said, and there was just an annoying sound of acceptance from the scroll.
"Thank you, old friend. I wish for you to take a look on Aegis Schnee, Yes discreetly if you would."
The man said, and there was a finally recognizable voice from the other man...
"Got it, Oz."
And the call was canceled by another side. The man just smiled helplessly and looked from the window with an enigmatic expression...
----
Atlas was in chaos as people were rioting in the streets about the still-hot debacle that Schnee's new CEO did...
But the most strained was General of Atlas military who, no matter how much wished to just to march upon Schnees, did have his hands tied as the boy he now despised gave him a clear warning...
"Just try and antagonize me, Ironwood, And you will witness how your precious kingdom falls from skies..."
Aegis Schnee said Ironwood would normally ignore such an outrageous idea, but the moment the entire Atlas trembled as black glyphs materialized around the floating city gave general enough evidence that the boy is serious...
Still, he was shocked how strong that boy was to be able to make the entire Atlas shake...
NO Ironwood promised to himself that before he makes any move, he would first find all facts about Aegis and any way to gain control of such a strong boy, no not just strong but intelligent enough to gain control of Atlas economy by one move...
"Private! Bring me student Schnee!"
Ironwood ordered and started to plan what to ask Aegis's older sister...
----
Where entire Remnet was in an uproar about the incident Aegis made, Aegis himself was enjoying with his little sister as he trained her in combat...
That was until his mother come with the news...
"Son, the reporters you wished for are there."
Willow said to her son as she watched him train Wiess, who by Willows estimates was already capable of going toe in toe with academy first years students...
"I see, thank mother."
Aegis said and disarmed Wiess with one move...
"Weiss, you need easier your stance. Right now, you are too rigid and obvious to predict..."
Aegis said, and Weiss just nodded with her little head as she made her way to her fallen rapier...
"Weiss, run another ten rounds, and then you are free to go."
Aegis said, and Weiss just cried in exasperation but still run as she knew her stamina was horrendous...
"Come, mother, lead me to our guests."
Aegis said.
"Don't you want to change first?"
Willow asked as she saw her son sporting his usual training attire...
"Hm, you are right."
Aegis said and undressed his shirt with both Willow and running. Weiss blushed when they saw his perfect body full of muscles...
"Im already done. Let us go, mother. Mother?"
Aegis asks as he looks at his mother, who was now red-faced...
"Ah? AH! Sorry son, let's go."
Willow said and quickly made her way as she didn't want Aegis to see her red face...
Aegis just shrugged and followed his mother.
They made their way to the guest room what was now occupied with a variety of persons, someone humans, other faunus, women, and men and all of them wore formal dresses...
"Welcome to Schnee mansion. Im Aegis Schnee, the one who invited you there."
Aegis said with a smile as everyone looked at him...
"Mister Schnee, it is a truth that you will answer to all of our questions?"
Ask one woman with blonde hair.
"Hm, not all questions as a man must have his secrets, but I will try to answer to every question that will not damage me or others."
Aegis said but got just snort from male faunus who was just slapped on the head by female faunus.
"Is there some problem?"
Aegis asked with a raised eyebrow. The male faunus, who even through female faunus warning glare, spoke.
"Yes, it's funny that you say you will answer to all questions, and now you say that you will not speak about facts that are commonly known as faunus slavery."
The male faunus said and after he said that there was silence for a little while after what everyone started shouting at him and each other...
"ENOUGH!"
Aegis said, and the entire room stopped as they felt the temperature fall and started to tremble. Even the ones with aura weren't spared...
"I invited adults, not a bunch of children, so behave as such! and what I will answer and what not you will find when you ask ME is that understood?"
Aegis said with a cold glare, and everyone just nodded...
"Good, then prepare your video feeds. I want this to be live questioning as I don't want any idiot to later try and change what I said...
Aegis said and watched as they all started their devices for live broadcasting.
Aegis himself just sat at the chair and waited...
"We will go with simple rules, and everyone has one question I answer upon your calling your raised hand is that clear? if you don't want to become a laughingstock in the live feed, then be civilized and ask just after I call upon you..."
Aegis said, and everyone noded...
Aegis waited for five minutes as he watched them all activate their feed and give a greeting to their respective spectators. After it was done, all cameras were targeted at him...
Even if it was live feed and Aegis knew that the entire Remnant would be watching him, he was not afraid. Aegis slipped to his apathetic persona and just maintained his smile as the first question was asked...
"Sir Schnee, what can you say about your recent move where you gained complete power upon SDC, and other business other says you rob?"
Aegis just looks at the man with a smile, but in his mind, he asks himself if that man is an idiot...
"I can say that I come to everything with legal ways as the documents and contracts can prove, and if there is someone who doesn't agree with me, I can just say he is free to prove otherwise."
A man satisfied sits down, and now the one who stands up is none other than the faunus male.
"What can you say about your treating of faunus in Schnee mines?! and SDC policy about faunus?!"
He asks, and Aegis finally looks at him and sees that he have a white fang badge with a Menagerie badge on his chest...
"The treatment of faunus under my father and SDC board was horrendous and truthful, now that Im sole owner of SDC, I work to improve and solve all problems and sins these persons done on faunus workers."
Aegis said, and there was just silence as nobody expected him to speak the truth... Aegis continued.
"Alas, such work isn't done in a day, and it will take months before I can find any mistreatment upon all faunus workers and every corruption in SDC ranks... With would not be an easy job as with the purge of corruption that is now in process, the work is just piling up, and I can count just on myself as I don't believe in anybody who was working under my father to no by corrupted."
Aegis said and just watched as the faunus reporter stood there frozen as his mind couldn't process what he just heard...
And he wasn't sole as entire Remnant heard that the rumors about SDC were real and that the current CEO tries to remedy it...
Aegis just smiled as his plans were going nicely...
