Gregor Winter and Itami sit on one side of the table, and Hiromu Suzuki sits on the other. The CEO of the Kontorōru Corporation is squirming around trying to get comfortable, but he thinks that Marino’s Deli is below him which was Gregor’s plan all along.
“I know that our deal has been beneficial to both parties, but I feel that it’s time for it to come to an end,” the big man said.
“I’m afraid I don’t understand,” said a very confused Hiromu Suzuki.
Gregor opens the manila envelope on the table for the first time. He pulls out a stack of pictures and lays down the first one. “That is Artthit Sethi, a worker at our processing plant and one of your spies. The core samples that he took were very beneficial to The MOD.” Winter throes down the rest of the pictures rapid fire.. “All of these were paid by you to find rare minerals on my island and to help you buy it out from under me because I'm just a stupid fuck that inherited everything that I have,”
“That is an interesting story,” Suzuki sits back in his chair. “You have absolutely zero proof of anything.”
“Here’s all of the proof.” Gregor hands the envelope across the table to Suzuki. “You can have it all they’re copies.”
“I have the best attorneys in Asia working for me, and they will tear this to shred,” Suzuki said reading over the forms. “I mean, getting a deposition under duress invalidates them.”
“Oh, I’m well aware of that and my lawyers took care of it in the deposition.” Suzuki stands and stomps out the door. Winter yells at his back with a big smile on his face. “My lawyer's card is in the envelope give him a call if you need a video copy.”
“That went well.” Itami laughed. “I’ve never seen him that off balance.”
“That was my plan all along,” Gregor replied.
“Then you executed it very well.”
“Thank you. Now let's get to the gym and get a good workout in because you have a match tomorrow night.”

I learned long ago that it is easy to get lost in life because the road is never straight. I’ve lost count of the times I thought I saw the end of my journey for it to be just another mountain I needed to climb. After a while, I learned that the only thing that you can do is find someone who can lead you through the wilderness, and for me, that meant going to the Kontorōru Corporation.
I thought that The Church of Crosse was my answer because they were powerful enough to protect me from the monsters that chased me, but that all ended in a great ball of fire, so I sought out Suzuki San. I knew that there was no way that I would ever stand on equal ground with the most powerful businessman in the world but we battled a common enemy. I thought that I was going to serve as a soldier in the Corporation’s war with the yakuza, but instead, I’ve become a toy for Suzuki to trot out any time that he wants.
The MOD helped give me the strength to refuse to be Suzuki’s plaything. I can stand on my own two feet and with a lot of work can become the best version of me possible, which is the reason that I’ve chosen to give my allegiance to Gregor Winter and Team MOD and walked away from the easy life of the Kontorōru Corporation.
Last week Gregor and I beat two of the best tag teams in IWF. When Gregor pinned James Raven we put the entire division on notice. I know that Savage By Nature watched up close and must be happy that they decided to get involved with The Kings of Flight, instead of Team MOD.
I hope Sanguis Immortalis was also watching because we are coming for Angel and Wraith. Gregor San is doing it to spread the word of The Ministry, but I have a much more important reason for wanting the be champion, The Demoness is starving and nothing makes a meal taste better than gold.
That doesn't mean that The Demoness is willing to just to wait for her next meal. She still craves the pain, and I don't feed her bad things happen. The kinds of things that I have to live with for the rest of my life. It’s lucky for the entire roster that a pair of when have agreed to stand in their place. Charlotte and Serenity have done a truly selfless thing by volunteering to be The Demoness’ next meal, well it would be if they weren’t both trying to get something out of it.
Charlotte Shimizu is just trying to pick up a win just to prove that she’s worthy of a spot on the IWF roster. Ever since she arrived here a few months ago she’s looked like a man swimming in the eye of a hurricane, but she’s not going to back down from any fight. She has to prove to herself and everyone in Japan that they were wrong about her because she is talented enough to be one of the top talents in the Joshi world.
Serenity on the other is hoping to bring legitimacy to her claim to The Queen’s Gambit. She thinks by beating Charlotte and me she will be one step towards being the IWF Women’s World Champion. That honestly couldn’t be farther from the truth because she is supposed to beat us easily because we are on the lowest level of this division. So low that we weren’t even invited to be a part of Heiress To The Throne, and I wasn’t even a part of the Queen’s Gambit.
I am in a much better place than both of my opponents because it doesn’t matter if I win or lose. I don’t have the must-win pressure that Charlotte is fighting because I’ve already shown the world that I can win matcher. Team MOD is one of the top teams in IWF, and she is fighting to keep from getting a reputation as a failure on two continents.
Serenity wants to use the match that she is the best of the best, and I just want to use this match as a way to improve myself. This match is nothing more than an intense sparring session while I prepare for the next Team MOD. That doesn’t mean that I am taking things lightly, or that I’m not going to kick in someone’s head at the first opportunity.
