Black Rose
Recap: The Vega family is still in New York City, while Black Rose has arrived in Sownsville.
A surveillance room buzzed with activity. Dozens of laptops and computer monitors were linked together as agents typed rapidly across their keyboards with remarkable speed and precision.
The scene shifted to a woman wearing a DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) uniform and a headset.
"Okay, confirmed. Keep watch on the target."
She stood up, walked briskly to an office, knocked, and entered after receiving permission.
Inside, an elderly man sat behind his desk with several neatly stacked files before him. The DEA insignia rested prominently on the desk.
The woman saluted.
"Sir, the target is on the move. She has arrived in Sownsville."
"Good," the old man replied. "Return to your station."
"Yes, sir."
She saluted once more and left the office.
The old man picked up the telephone and placed a call.
Sownsville
President Dan, the head of the ISS, answered the call.
"So she's here. Good. I'll send my best agent to handle it."
The call ended.
Dan pressed a red button on his desk. It flashed briefly before transmitting an encrypted code.
Sunsville Villa
Laspa's third mansion stood quietly as Black Rose entered alongside Aliena Du Cheng.
Black Rose slowly looked around the mansion, admiring its interior. Earlier that day, Aliena had supervised several changes made by Laspa's interior designer. Since the mansion had been unused for quite some time, especially by Laspa's wife, only a few adjustments were needed to suit Black Rose's preferences.
"This place suits my taste," Black Rose said as she admired the room. "It isn't glamorous. It has a dark elegance to it. Lander Spencer has outdone himself."
Aliena smiled.
"Your tea will be ready in a minute, ma'am. Your luggage has already been taken to your room. In the meantime, please make yourself comfortable."
Black Rose nodded before sitting on the couch.
"Bring me today's newspaper."
"Yes, ma'am."
Aliena returned moments later with the newspaper.
Black Rose glanced through the headlines before looking back at her.
"When will your boss return?"
"He won't be back until next week, ma'am. He's currently in New York City for work."
Black Rose nodded.
"You may leave."
"Yes, ma'am."
Aliena quietly left the room.
New York City
A few hours later...
Inside Laspa's private suite, Nathalie gave her report.
"Sir, Black Rose has arrived at your mansion in Sownsville. Aliena Du Cheng is attending to her. Also, the guests for tonight's fashion show have all arrived. Miss Bani has done an excellent job promoting the event."
Lander Spencer adjusted his royal blue three-piece suit. Matching blue cufflinks decorated his sleeves, while an expensive silver wristwatch completed his elegant appearance.
He turned toward Nathalie.
She wore a beautiful evening gown that perfectly complemented her figure while maintaining a professional appearance.
"Excellent," Lander said with satisfaction. "Everything is falling into place. I have the Vega family on one side and the leader of the world's biggest criminal organization on the other. Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer."
He smiled.
"By the way... how do I look?"
Nathalie smirked.
"Handsome as always."
She picked up the neatly folded tie from the bed and carefully adjusted it around his neck.
Lander smiled confidently.
"Perfect. Now it's time to amaze our guests. After all, this event belongs to Miss Bani and me."
With the confidence of a man who had conquered the business world, he walked out of the suite.
Meanwhile, with the Vega Family...
Miss Bani was also getting ready for the event alongside the Vega sisters.
The dressing room was filled with hairstylists, makeup artists, nail technicians, beauticians, wardrobe assistants, and models preparing for the evening's fashion show.
As makeup artists carefully applied her makeup, Miss Bani remained on the phone with her assistant.
"Have we confirmed the final number of guests? Will refreshments be served? Is the guest performer ready?"
Around her, everyone continued preparing as the excitement surrounding the event continued to build.
Elsewhere, the Vega sisters quietly watched Miss Bani, concerned about how much pressure she was under.
Before long, Sam would receive unexpected news.
Black Rose had arrived in Sownsville.
And tonight's fashion event...
...would become an unforgettable night.
Days later.
Black Rose: When will lander Spencer come back from his business trip?
Aliena: I don't know ma, but he might come today (As she continues to stand there)
Black Rose:( leave then)
As she was about to call laspa he walked through the door with Nathalie.
Laspa aka Mr Lander Spencer;
Sorry, for the delay
My business associate Miss bani Vega delayed me. We need to talk about business negotiations.
Well I see you have met my new assistant and facefor my criminal organization, so let get back to business while you are still here before the DEA gets a stiff of you.
Black Rose: You still talk a lot but you are right, I came here to establish a drug empire right here in sownsville. By bringing to you my new drug although it is still in the experimental phase once my scientists have been able to perfect it I am hundred percent certain you would like it. Then brought a candy wrapped in a white wrapping paper.
(Aliena and Nathalie looked at each other then back at lander Spencer but didn't say anything)
Lander Spencer: A candy, what is so special about a candy?
Black Rose; Ain't candy but the drug itself it is called AY4 it could give people super strength only for about 2 minutes,control people but it is also super addictive it could help me seek out highly intelligent teenagers to use to build my drug empire.
( Talking in such persuasive voice that it was edging towards a seductive voice make her look more attractive and dangerous at the same time).
Lander Spencer, Aliena du cheng and Nathalie widened their eyes in shock and look at each other for a moment then return to normal.
Lander Spencer ; So what is my gain in all of this and how are you going to do that without getting the DEA on your trail.
Black Rose; You already provided the cover but I know for certain it would be long before the DEA gets a stiff that I am here but they don't know my face or DNA they could only guess but to be safe I would consider use a legitimate fake ID I can use for the rest of the time I would here. As for your gain, think of the Pablo Escobar he wouldn't be so mentioned if he didn't take certain risks but financially if it goes well, you would be earning at most 10 million in every 3 months by the end of the year you would earn at least 50 or 60 million definitely. Are you in or out?
Lander Spencer widened his eyes again but returned to normal just as suddenly.
Lander Spencer:"Ten million every three months... Interesting. But money has never been my biggest concern. Staying alive has. but there is a little problem. You must know that laspa is actually dead so except I can reincarnate myself. I hope you understand.
Black Rose ; Yeah but your organization is still running right, besides how did a top underground Don like you get defeated and pronounced dead.
Lander Spencer: long story short got defeated by three teenage girls during my quest to acquire the malkietor.
Black Rose raised an eyebrow with a look of disbelief on her face.
Lander Spencer: it is your choice to believe it or not but as for your drug empire I have a friend that can help you with that.
Black Rose simply nodded and they moved to discussing plans for the new drug.
