"Pierro?"

Pierro looked up to the person who mentioned his name, meeting the eyes of his worried and stressed best friend.

Here they were, all 7 hero's, Dainsleif and Pierro in Azar's office for a 'meeting'

Oh how he wished this was actually a normal meeting and not a threatening meeting.

Zhongli and everyone else in the room looked at him. "What's your call?" His best friend asked.

Pierro looked at Zhongli then back at Azar, who laid in his office chair with a smirk, hands together as he patiently waited for their word.

"Let me get this straight." Pierro sighed, standing up to walk around the grand office.

"You're asking the hero's to disappear for life all because government officials, such as myself, want to remove you as the Grand Sage."

"That's what I'm asking." Azar chuckled, and Pierro wanted to slap the grin off of his face.

Pierro pointed to Nahida. "14 years old, she is. You're asking her to give up her future for your selfish needs?"

Azar just nodded. "Let me repeat myself. You, and other government officials, want me removed since these 7 came and decided to protect this rotten city better than I can. Well guess what? I ain't having that. So, I want you all to disappear and to never come back, and I will have my own 2 hero's." Azar finishes his explanation with a laugh, expecting to get his way.

Ei snorted. "And why do you expect us to listen to you?"

The Tsaritsa nodded her head in agreement. "We overpower you if you're ought to be removed, so why should we do what you want?"

Azar's smile turned into a sadistic one. "I was hoping you'd ask that."

He turned the monitor of his computer around, clicking on the mouse to show photos of everyone's families. Nahida's brother, you, Xiao, Pierro's children, Ei's sister, Miko, Scaramouche- ALL of the hero's relatives.

At the sights of them, the hero's understood just what exactly Azar was implying. "If you don't do what I say, they all die. Even if they're in another nation; I control everything."

The hero's started to look at each other with wide eyes and nervous looks, not knowing what to do while Azar just had a sinister smile on his face as if he didn't just say he'd kill multiple people.

Pierro just sighed, him and Dainsleif sharing a look. You could consider them the 'managers' of the hero's when said hero's all turned to look at them after their internal freak outs, waiting for their decision.

Azar was waiting too as he got impatient, his facial expression slowly shifted into one of annoyance.

Dainsleif just sighed, dragging a hand down his face. "We need time to think about this."

He turned to look at the hero's for their approval and they all nodded their heads in agreement.

Azar stared for a solid 10 seconds, all expression from before completely gone as he starting to think. Suddenly, his no mood expression shifted into yet another sinister smile as he clapped. "Alright."
