Why would the Irondy have such an expression?


    These are the thoughts that fly to the mind of the people. However, no one dares to question the irondy. The unwanted silence reigns amid the room, throwing everyone into their thoughts.


    Suddenly, Lady Mata stood up. Her face is devoid of any emotion. At once, everyone stood when they saw this. Holding their breath, they stare at her, expecting.


    "Lockdown Thango. Prepare for war."


    In district 13, Starlight Genesis Headquarters. A group of people sat around a table in a clean white room. The number of people in the room was less than 6. However, each of them held a substantial power in Starlight Genesis and Vulture. These people are Arce, Jimena, Renata, Mora, Jojo.


    "I''ve heard a lot about you?" Jimena turned to Renata and asked, breaking the silence.


    Hmm!


    Renata raised her brow and looked at Jimena''s smiling face. "Really!?" She couldn''t believe what she just heard. Though, none of them knew their ranks in Starlight Genesis. Still yet, the hidden superiority would exhibit itself one way or the other. Renata was a little aware of Jimena''s office in the organization. And she knew what that office meant. Now, listen to someone like her telling her this… Dumbfounded.


    "Of course." The smile on Jimena''s face broadened, showing her little white teeth. "You''re always in the media with that poker face." Sheughed, trying to imitate Renata''s expression. Seeing this, everyone in the roomughed while Renata didn''t know whether tough or cry.


    Whatever she wanted to say stuck in her throat. When she saw the gaze of everyone on her. She made a dryugh, raising the brows of others. Seeing this, she cleared her throat quickly and said."I''m quite surprised. I don''t know if you watch me on Tv… People like you shouldn''t…"


    "Don''t say that." Jimena interrupted. "We''re all working for the same organization. So we shouldn''t think like that. Besides, I can''t stop myself to watch the Tv. You know when we join the organization. It''s nothing like that. But now…" she turned her face and stared nkly at the open space.


    The room descended into an awkward silence for a couple of seconds before Jimena broke the silence with a shortugh. "Sorry about that. I''m still surprised at how far we''vee. Right, brother?" She looked at her brother.


    "Yeah. Who would have thought everything would sail smoothly. It is beyond ourprehension. We''re grateful for themander." Arce added, looking at the face of others.


    "What you said is true. But I hope every one of us will try our best for the organization." Jojo announced out of the blue. The expressionless face and the powerful auraing from her scared both Renata and Mora. They haven''t seen this woman before and are oblivious to her office. However, with her physique and bearing. It wasn''t difficult to infer her role. Only Arce and Jimena remain calm even a slight smile appears on their face when they see the weariness in Mora and Renata''s faces.


    "Because none of you knew what themander had been through to attain where the organization is today." Jojo looked at the faces of others and held the hilt of her sword belt to her waist. Immediately, the temperature of the room dropped, rendering the venttion system useless. The calm expression on both Arce and Jimena disappeared, looking at Jojo with slight apprehension.


    "People think highly of them when they reach a powerful height in an organization. Like you four. No matter how powerful you are now or in the future. Let this stuck in your head. You''re still miles apart from themander. And in your entire lifetime, you can never close the gap. I dare say the gap would continue to increase…" Jojo removed her hand from the hilt of the sword, crossing one leg over the others, and rxed her back on the chair.


    Unknowingly, a bead of sweat had umted on the forehead of the others. When the temperature returned to normal, they looked at each other''s faces and took a sigh of relief. Now, Mora and Renata were assured never to provoke this woman. Each of them wiped the sweats off their forehead and averted their gaze from Jojo lost in their thoughts.


    Swiss!


    The door opened automatically and a young man in blue entered without making a sound. He looked at the expression of four of the people and chuckled inside. He sat on the primary seat and cleared his throat. Hmm!


    All eyes fell on Emma. They rolled their eyes, wondering when he entered. Meanwhile, a particr person didn''t have any change in her expression. That''s Jojo. She knew when Emma entered and wanted to salute but was stopped by him.


    "Do you get to know each other?" Emma asked. His voice was in, making it difficult for people to discern his emotion. Immediately, Jojo sat up straight and looked at Emma. Though she couldn''t see Emma''s face. That doesn''t deter her from staring straight at the helmet.


    "Yeah. We''ve learned one or two things about each other." Mora managed to say with a forceful smile. He looked at Jojo with the corners of his and averted it immediately when he saw her looking at him.


    "Good. I won''t waste your precious time." Emma paused and looked at the face of the five before continuing "You five held the most powerful office in Starlight Genesis. After me, you''ve had Zeus and then Amanda. Apart from us three. You''re next. Starlight Genesis is growing at an extreme speed. And moving at extreme speed requires good coordination not to crash."


    Emma stopped and let them digest the information. Some of them had the idea of who Zeus was. But Amanda. They couldn''t wrap their arms against it. Who was she? They thought quietly in their mind. But found no answer. Only Renata was aware of Amanda. And this surprised her when she knew how powerful she was. And if someone like her could be disciplined. Then what were they? She nced at Jojo and the previous word echoed in her mind and she sighed.


    Jojo however, didn''t think about it. whoever that was above them had the power to be above them. Nothing more. Nothing less. The thing that wouldn''t change was the respect he had for Emma. They have been into a life and death situation together and she knew it could depend on this young man. Perhaps she could show them more world. Thinking of another world, a slight smile appeared on her face briefly but disappeared immediately.


    "Now, why I called you was not for us to get together or tell you the power structure of Starlight Genesis. But be prepared."


    Prepared for what?


    "Everyone of you knows how Vulture was previously."


    They nodded.


    "Butpared to now. No one would see Vulture now and wouldn''t want to eat from the big pile. Thango was a waste continent while Vulture was the home of all waste. If those people that abandon Thango saw the new Vulture. What do you think?"


    Everyone in the room took a deep breath. They have long forgotten how cruel the world operates since the arrival of Starlight Genesis. But now, they realized everything was going to be as easy as they thought. Perhaps, they hope for a normal life that they subconsciously erase the threat of the world. And that was Na?ve.


    "Recently, I eradicated the mole of the powerful maggot despite the false hope. PAR, was killed by me. I expect some quick retaliation from these people. However, it didn''t happen as I thought. But now, they areing."


    "Vulture is the base of Starlight Genesis. Starlight Genesis promises a better life. However, we''re not the savior of humanity. If anyone dares to destroy Starlight Genesis. Then…" Emma gave a shortugh.


    However, thatugh sends shivers to the core of everyone in the room. They took a deep breath to calm their trembling heart out and hide their nervousness. Jojo felt the pressure slightly and returned to their usual self. Yet, a fierce battling glow in her eyes. ''I haven''t tried my weapon on humans. Pleasee, let my sword drink human blood for the first time. Assholes.''


    "Vulture would be on lockdown from this moment. Arce and Jimena. Speed up those training sessions. Mora, every resource for the imminent war must be provided. While also you must find a solution on how our business will skyrocket during these periods. We will use these battles to announce our arrival to the world. So, I wouldn''t condone any loss." He looked at Renata.


    "Do you know what to do?"


    "Yes." Renata nodded. "I will handle the media and control of people in Vulture. Our technology must not leave Vulture during these. While also, theizens out there must know what we represent."


    "Good." A smile appeared on Emma''s face. He knew of all those people in front of him. Renata was the most intelligent of the group. He turned his head and looked at Jojo. "Captain Jojo."


    "Sir." Jojo stood at once and saluted.


    "We don''t soil ournd with blood. What do we do?"


    "We provide a mass grave for the enemy."
