Unforeseen Alliances, Part Eight

Cell City — Present Day.

Mint enters a tall building, accompanied by twelve men in black tuxedos. The secretary near the entrance greets him. "Lord Mint, welcome back."

Mint waves to her as he continues on. He heads to an elevator and tells the suited men not to follow him. He closes the door and presses a button that takes him far down, to the basement floors.

Mint clapped his hands. "Alright you people! Back to work! I've got a brilliant idea for this project!"

Arcane City, Arcania— Akasan's Manor.

Toshiko, Anzu, Bloom, and Inky were all asleep in a set of four beds.

Akasan and Gaia were standing next to each other, watching them.

"Have you made up your mind about the Holy Kingdom?" Gaia asked softly.

"I won't do anything to them, for now. If it comes down to a conflict, then we'll be prepared to face them."
