Dragna Empire.

Two persons were walking through the Imperial city looking at everything around them. They were Gamion and Gian Dragna.

“This place really has changed in the time that weren’t here.”

Said Gamion.

“I find it hard to believe that this was all done in less than 3 years.”

“Considering who did it, I think it’s normal.”

Gian answered.

“To think that that little kid that seemed so fragile back then, was the progenitor of our clan.”

He said.

“This world is just weird. Our great-great-great grandfather was reincarnated into our nephew.”

“When you say it out loud, it does sound weird.”

Gamion replied.

“Well, we’ve seen weirder.”

“True.”

The two walked in silence for a while until they came across a mansion that seemed to appear in the middle of town. But the weird thing was, that no one other than the brothers seem to be able to see it.

“See? Weirder.”

Gian said.

The two walked into the mansion and disappeared from the Main Street along with it.

Once they were inside, they were greeted by a vintage style interior. The wall was made from expensive white wood, the floors were marble, and the furniture looked classic.

There were also dozens of butlers and maids line off standing near the walls. They all wore victorian style uniforms. It was as if the two had stepped into a mansion in the past.

“Welcome, my brothers.”

At that moment, Rihan walked into the halls with a smile on his face, while dressed in a black tuxedo with a red tie.

“Welcome to the Devil’s Mansion.”

He said with a courteous bow.

“As always, you sure love being over dramatic.”

Said Gamion.

“It’s like you love to put on a show.”

“Of course.”

Rihan answered.

“I’m a jester/joker after all.”

He said with a smile.

“So what do you want, for you to call us here?”

Gian took a glass filled with champagne from a nearby butler, and sat down on the coach. He instantly made himself at home.

Gamion looked at him and shook his head. However, he soon did the same and even asked for a shoulder rub from one of the maids.

Rihan sat down across from them and leaned back in the coach.

“I just wanted to spend time with the brothers I haven’t seen in two decades.”

He answered.

“You must be on drugs if you think we’ll believe that.”

Said Gian.

“The troublemaking brat would never want to spend quality time with us.”

Said Gamion.

“Well, that’s true.”

Rihan admittedly said.

“I knew it. You were never interested in any of us other than Sonia.”

Said Gamion.

“You damn sister-lover.”

Gian said, while taking a slice of cake from one of the maids.

“I won’t deny that Sonia was my favorite sibling.”

Rihan shrugged.

“I mean, the rest of you are a bunch of idiots. She alone actually tried to understand me. Well, Nova as well, but you know how he is.”

He answered.

“What lies. I understand you.”

Said Gian.

“You’re a Sister loving asshole.”

He said.

“Your bitch of a mother.”

Rihan replied.

At that moment, both Rihan and Gian charged and pointed two pistols at each other’s face.

“Say that again, you fucker.”

Gian pressed his gun on Rihan’s head.

“Your bitch of a mother.”

Rihan smiled and pressed his gun on Gian’s head.

*Clap!*

Suddenly a clap resounded in the room. It came from Gamion, who was still seated and getting a shoulder massage.

“Calm down you two.”

He said after being spoon-fed some ice cream.

“You two always bicker whenever you meet, despite being so similar.”

He said.

“How am I similar to this piece of shit?!”

The two said in unison.

“You’re both irritating assholes, and trolls.”

Gamion answered.

“Point taken.”

The two turned their back to each and went back to their seat.

“Why do you two always fight when you don’t hate each other?”

“Because that bastard’s face pissed me off.”

The two answered.

“Anyway, what did you want, Rihan?”

Gamion asked.

“I want to know what do you two plan to do?”

Rihan asked.

“The core of the clan is out of commission, and the leader left to who knows where. I wanted to know what’s your next move.”

He said.

“What? Are you planning something evil again?”

Gian asked.

Rihan laughed.

“Even I have a heart.”

He said.

“If I did something now, with the clan in such a fragile state, it would truly collapse. Despite everything I say or do, this place is my home. I won’t just destroy it for my own pleasure.”

“Then why do you want to know what we’re going to do?”

Asked Gamion.

“Because this clan is about to face a disaster.”

The two’s eyes narrowed when they heard that.

“I thought you said that you weren’t going to do anything?”

“I’m not. This is an outside threat.”

Rihan shook his head.

“No, this is a natural disaster that the clan has brought upon itself.”

He smiled.

“In other words, this is karma.”

“Karma?”

The two was confused.

“That’s right. The disaster that’s heading towards the clan’s way is something we ourselves created. It brings revenge and destruction.”

Rihan said.

“Oh? That sounds interesting.”

Said Gian.

“Then what do you want us to do?”

“I want you two to stay out of it.”

Rihan answered.

“Why? If it’s a disaster that we’ve brought on ourselves, then we should fix it ourselves.”

Said Gamion.

However, Rihan shook his head.

“We brought upon ourselves, but it isn’t our place to stop it.”

“Isn’t our place?”

Gamion seemed like he realized something.

“You want the younger generation to handle it?”

Rihan nodded.

“We’ve already failed when we couldn’t prevent this disaster from being born, it’s the next generation’s turn to see what they can do.”

“And if they can’t handle it?”

Gian asked.

“Then I’ll step in and stop it even if I’m not qualified to.”

The two remained silent for a while.

“Why do I feel like you personally groomed this disaster?”

Gamion asked.

Rihan didn’t answer and just smile.

“You really are a troublemaker, you know that?”

Gamion sighed.

“Very well, since this seem so important to you I’ll stay out of it.”

Said Gamion.

“Oh? You trust me, brother?”

Rihan asked.

“Of course. We may have different mothers, but we’re still flesh and blood. Plus I’ve watched you grow up, I’m confident that I understand your character enough to know that you’re indeed planning something, but it isn’t something entirely evil. I’m curious to see what that is.”

“I see.”

Rihan smiled.

“I appreciate it.”

He then turned to Gian.

“And you, Brother?”

Gian sighed and said-

“Very well, since it seems so important to you I’ll make sure to fuck it.”

When he said that, Gamion ordered a butler to throw a brick in his face.

“F-Fine. I’ll stay out of it.”

Gian said, after one of the maids held him in a chokehold.

“Thanks, brother. I appreciate it.”

Rihan said.

“So what are you going to do with Momo? From what I’ve heard, she and everyone else is concentrating on catching up and surpassing Miko.”

Gamion said.

“Oh, you don’t need to worry about that.”

Rihan said.

“Here’s my prediction.”

He lifted his finger.

“Miko will come in contact with the mentioned disaster and the storms that follow behind it. Momo and the others, will then search for Miko and will too come in contact with the disaster. After that….well, you’ll have to wait and see.”

He said.

“You really do have everything planned out, don’t you?”

Said Gian.

“It’s a habit of mine to keep everything within my scope.”

He responded.

“Then that means that you know where Miko is and is keeping tabs on him.”

Said Gian.

“Of course, I can’t have my vulnerable nephew all alone in this dangerous world.”

Rihan answered with a laugh.

Gamion shook his head as if he had enough.

“Oh, by the way, Rihan.”

“What is it?”

“Who are these servants and just what is this mansion?”

Gamion asked.

“I don’t know myself. This mansion is a treasure I came across a long time ago during my travels. It came with these servants. I’ve been using it as a base ever since.”

Rihan answered.

“You mean to tell me that I’ve been getting massages and have been eating food from unknown existences?”

Gian asked.

“Pretty much.”

The brothers looked at Rihan and then at the servants that were serving them.

“Well, what done is done.”

Said Gian.

“The ice cream was good too.”

Rihan laughed at their carefree behavior.

“Well, brothers. How about we catch up?”

He smiled at them.

“Tell me, just what have you’ve experienced these 20 years?”
