(Legion building. Kaitlyn asks around.)
KAITLYN
Excuse me. Do you know who Kim Guwon is?
MAN
You must be new here, even though you've been working here for two years.
KAITLYN
Yes. Lady Sophia told me that Sir Brutus wasn't the Chief.
MAN 2
Brutus was just the acting Chief. The real Chief is Kim Guwon. Just like Lady Sophia, he's also one of the 4 Great Families.
KAITLYN
The 4 Great Families?
MAN 1
They're noble families with the highest ranking and are considered the eyes of the Empress…
KAITLYN
I've heard of them. So, what's so special about Kim Guwon?
WOMAN
He's a charismatic, handsome young man with overpowered abilities.
WOMAN 2
Especially with his Genkei Kenkai. The Emperor's eye.
KAITLYN
Emperor's eye?
MAN
Yes. It's a broken ability that makes anyone obey to his commands without any question.
WOMAN
He also uses it to brand women and makes them his slaves.
KAITLYN
Slaves?! Like sex slaves.
WOMAN 2
Yes. A woman like Lady Victoria who's also from the 4 Great Families, became his sex slave after he branded her.
KAITLYN
Isn't that wrong?
WOMAN
Do you have the courage to tell him that?
NICOLE
…
MAN
Another thing he can do is he can bind an Awakener's force, and that makes them not use their abilities.
KAITLYN
This Emperor's Eye of his must be a broken ability.
WOMAN
It sure is.
(A Director walks towards them.)
DIRECTOR
Stop spouting nonsense and get back to work. And you shouldn't be mentioning that name. Brutus is our Chief and not Kim Guwon.
EMPLOYEES
Yes, Director Feeler.
WOMAN
Dir. Feeler, Lady Sophia is in the office.
FEELER
Really? Why did you say so? And who saw her first?
KAITLYN
I… did, Sir.
FEELER
Then you should have told me. You're the most useless member of this team. I think I should sell you as a prostitute.
KAITLYN
I'm… sorry, sir.
FEELER
Tch! Useless.
(He walks away as Kaitlyn notices the atmosphere has changed. Her colleagues are against her. They're not on her side.)
MAN
So, she's useless, huh.
MAN 2
And she has the nerve to ask us about Kim Guwon.
WOMAN
How did she even get the job in the 1st place?
WOMAN 2
She sold her body to get the job. Look how she's dressed… she is a slut.
KAITLYN
[What's with the atmosphere?]
(Feeler enters the office.)
FEELER
Lady Sophia. It's a pleasure to meet you here.
SOPHIA
I'm here to meet with the Chief.
FEELER
Brutus?! He's not here.
SOPHIA
I'm not talking about the butler. I'm talking about Kim Guwon.
FEELER
He should be in Tartarus…
SOPHIA
He woke up from his cryo slumber.
FEELER
[Damn it! Victoria. You were supposed to be preventing him from waking up. Now our plans are ruined.]
SOPHIA
Is something the matter, Feeler?
FEELER
Ah… no, it's nothing. If Kim Guwon is here…
SOPHIA
Address him as Chief.
FEELER
Let's be honest here. Brutus is more fit to be the Chief of Legion than Guwon. Who would accept a womanizer who brands women as sex slaves and treats them like sex toys? And also he's lazy.
SOPHIA
What is the purpose of Legion?
FEELER
Just like the other 4 Great Families and their organizations, we're a business Organization that makes deals.
SOPHIA
You're incorrect.
FEELER
Pardon?
SOPHIA
Let me correct you, Dir. Feeler. Legion is an Organization whose main task is dealing with Ascenders. Awakeners from another world who have crossed the gate to this world.
FEELER
…
SOPHIA
Then why do I find Legion making deals with their arch-nemesis, the Voodoos Cult?
(She drops some pictures showing Brutus and the Directors making deals with some shady members in a hostess club.)
FEELER
That's…
SOPHIA
You and Brutus have tainted the name Legion, and you will face judgment. Voodoos is an enemy of Legion because it's a cult that slays Ascenders. Legion doesn't kill Ascenders, or should I say Guwon. He makes them his slaves... [mostly female. I don't know what he does to the males. Still, he's immoral that he has sex with them all the time. I can't believe I'm defending that womanizer.] And let's not get into the embezzlement and bribes you and Brutus have been taking. I hate such men who do such things.
(Feeler reaches for his phone but Sophia freezes his hand.)
FEELER
Guah!
SOPHIA
Don't think of calling Brutus. He's already dead. He died as a traitor… and you will.
(They hear the sound of a Lamborghini arriving.)
SOPHIA
I guess… he's here.
FEELER
Eeek!
(Guwon, Victoria, and Zoyia get out of the Lamborghini clad in brand outfits. They walk towards the building.)
GUWON
Let's tear down this tainted building…
VICTORIA & ZOYIA
Yes, Master.
