Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: The stick

"The heads of the five families?" James Flemming asked in surprise.

"Correct, that is why you are all here to make sure I have their undivided attention and they take me seriously, after all it's not so easy to speak to the heads of your families is it?" Adam replied before saying.

"Initiate the conference call." 

[Affirmative.] Spector responded before five different holographic screens were projected from one of the micro cams and the surprised guests wondered where they had appeared from.

In Paleto City the capital of the Gardiana nation an expensive limousine smoothly traveled along a highway as in the back two men one older and the other only slightly younger sat across from each other as several tv screens displayed different tv channels and websites.

"Mr Morose, your video meeting with the leader of the central continents government opposition is set for eleven am tomorrow morning. The younger man said as he addressed the older with respect.

"The idiot is probably looking for more funding again even though I told him he won't get more since he lost the last election." Sabastian Morose Viktor's grandfather said with an annoyed tone.

"That is indeed likely he.." The man suddenly stopped speaking as he noticed all five TVs in the limousine all of a sudden showed the image of a different person, all looking surprised except for one who wore a black outfit with a hood hiding his face.

Sabastian Morose also showed surprise on his face for a moment before he frowned because he recognised four of the other individuals.

"What's going on here?" He asked.

In the VIP room of the Blue Lagoon the guests all stared in surprise as the five holographic screens all suddenly displayed five different individuals that they all recognised.

[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Wow, they're the heads of the five richest and most influential families in the world.]

[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): She's right, I have seen them on the news and in special interviews.

[Whostolemyduck (Earth): Could this be the negotiation the stream title description mentioned?]

[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Negotiating with the five most powerful individuals in the world? This will be interesting kekeke.]

[Tessisdabest (Imperial Down): The five most powerful individuals, interesting.]

"What's going on here?" One of the displays asked authoritatively that the guests recognised as Sabastian Morose.

"Yes I would like to know that also." Another display that showed a beautiful woman stated.

Adam raised his hands as the figures on the holographic displays started demanding answers before saying, "Ladies and gentlemen please may I have your attention. I have gathered each of you here to negotiate."

"Negotiate? You can't be serious, do you even know who your speaking too?"] One of the displays showing a male with a large moustache asked angrily.

"I do indeed Mr Williams, but for those present here at the party let me introduce our honoured guests." Adam said as he turned towards the guests while indicating the holographic displays.

"From left to right we first have Mr Tomio Zhao, head of the Zhao family who mainly reside in the Eastern continent."

"Next we have Lady Isabella Flemming, head of the Flemming family who reside mainly in the Northern Continent.]

"Next is Mrs Ayana Keita, head of the Keita family who mainly reside in the Central continent."

"Next is Sabastian Morose, head of the Morose family who mainly operate out of Western continent."

"And finally we have Mr Oliver Williams, head of the Williams family who mainly operate out of the Southern continent."

"We already know who we all are, you disrespectful brat." Oliver Williams replied with a growl.

"I did say for those present at the party Mr Williams or were you not listening, I believe those young ladys over there who were getting close to Michael Baker are your granddaughters?" Adam said before indicating two attractive women who when Adam entered were flirting with Michael Baker.

"Alice, Sarah what's going on here are you not supposed to be at Jame Flemming's birthday party?" Oliver Williams asked with shock when he saw his two granddaughters.

The two girls looked nervously at each other as Adam had just revealed to their grandfather how they had been flirting with Michael Baker before they replied nervously.

"We are grandfather, this is James Flemming's party at the Blue Lagoon club in Alamo City, James is standing just there, see?" 

"James what is going on here?" Isabella Flemming asked immediately after seeing her grandson whom she had only been with a few hours ago celebrating his birthday with his family.

"I am unsure grandmother," James replied before continuing. "This man dragged Donald Simmons in here then knocked Michael Baker out with a strange weapon before starting a conference call with all of you."

"Weapon?" Tomio Zhao asked with interest.

"It's some kind of strangely shaped gun uncle." A pretty Asian girl said.

"Ladies and gentlemen please, I did not go through all this trouble to join you here and arrange this conference call to talk about my weapon." Adam said with slight annoyance.

"Then why did you do this Mr Spector?" Emma Hopkins asked.

"Simple, I'm here to give you five heads a warning to not interfere with the business I have with Francis and Viktor Morose." 

"Why would we care about your business with the Morose family?" Ayana Keita asked while Sabastian Morose asked, "What business do you have with my son and grandson."

"Oh I think you might care once they're found dead, after all the five families don't like to look weak do you." 

"You dare?" Sabastian Morose asked in rage as the other four heads all frowned at his words.

"Calm yourself Mr Morose, I'm here to negotiate so that none of you will interfere and I won't have to destroy everything your families have built."

"That's a bold claim sir." Isabella Flemming said with a frown and a modicum of respect, after all how many people in the world dared to challenge one of the five families, let alone all five at once.

[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Damnnnn the streamer has some balls on him.]

[Whostolemyduck (Earth): Indeed, it takes someone incredibly brave… or stupid to dare challenge them.]

[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): We don't know who exactly he is targeting because the sound got cut off again, however we can guess it's someone connected to the Morose family from Sabastian Morose's reaction.]

[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): How do you think he plans to negotiate with them?]

[Gunlovergirl (Earth): I think we are about to find out.]

"Perhaps Lady Flemming, however I believe I have what it takes to negotiate so why don't we begin and I think the carrot and the stick approach will work best." Adam said as the five family heads frowned at his words.

"So we will begin with the stick, I am sending each of you a separate email listing out all of your family's bank accounts including the secret ones you don't want others to know about, heck there might even be ones you family members are keeping from you in the list so your welcome to this knowledge, so Spector if you would."

[Affirmative. Emails sent.]

The leaders read the emails they had just received as concern over the fact that this stranger had found all of their bank account details including the secret ones only a few high level members of their families know about.

"The important point however is that I have highlighted one account for each of you, I suggest you check that account now because you will find that it is now empty."

Hearing this they all quickly accessed the corresponding bank account with worry before seeing that there was indeed no money in there.

"Ok you have made your point so state your demands." Ayana Keita said angrily.

"No, I don't think I have made my point not yet." Adam began before walking over towards Donald Simmons.

"I am sure some of you recognise Donald Simmons here as someone who has done protection detail for you, well he is also on my list of targets." As he finished saying this Adam raised his blaster and turned the cylinder to the fourth section before aiming and pulling the trigger just as Emma Hopkins yelled, "Stop."

A red beam hit Donald Simmons body before he vanished and all that was left was strange dust floating about where his body had once been.

[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Damn that's cold.]

[Tessisdabest (Imperial Down): A disintegration shot, so he really can use that from a blaster.]

[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): I just don't understand how his blaster is so advanced.

[SciFifanboy (Earth): That blaster is still so SciFi, not as SciFi as the lightsaber but still SciFi.]

[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Beam saber.]

[SciFifanboy (Earth):Whatever.]
