Joshua and Stain, two of Dracula's most loyal men, both who owed the man their very lives and the loyalty they showed to him would rival even the most loyal hound.

On the surface, Joshua was seen as the dutiful butler, bodyguard, and to the young master Midoriya, a big brother figure who was always there for the young master to the point of being there for him even in his darkest moments whenever he would have an episode of depression.

Stain was also seen as a proper worker, many would consider the man another bodyguard who was by Dracula's side whenever he was out in public or helping the boss whenever he needed work done with D.S.I. Be on the docks or at the many offices and businesses, and to Midoriya he was an honorary uncle who made him laugh or make sure he stayed on the straight and narrow as a proper hero. Even going as far as to help him with the homeless and the humble masses who lost their jobs and homes due to the crass caused by the ban on European & spirits out of central Asia.

Yet that was only their public faces, their real faces, their true faces that they did their best to hide from the young master and honorary nephew and little brother was anything but clean.

A body collided with a table before rolling over onto the floor. The man looked up in fear at the two that glared at him. "Mr. Serizawa. You're not paying attention to our conversation." Joshua said in a disapproving tone.

"Do we need to clean your ears out? I'm sure one of my tools will get the job done." Stain said as he pulled out a Bowie knife that was serrated.

The dog man shook as he said with a stammer of a clearly scared voice, "I swear I'll have the money! I just need more time!"

Joshua shook his head as he cleaned his glasses,"You had well over two months to pay back the money we loaned you to put on and I quote, 'a sure fire winning bet' and when the horse you betted on lost, you lost my employer."

Stain hissed, "The Boss!"

"Over ten thousand with interest, which means that Mr. Tepes is out fifteen thousand yen for which you have failed to payback within the time for which his kindness has granted you." Joshua stated as he slowly put his glasses back on before adjusting them slightly. "This trivial matter would be below us if not for the fact..."

Stain now brought his bowie knife close to the man's throat, "You tried to run and snitch to the feds." Shaking his head slightly he added, "And that just won't do.”

"Please! Please don't kill me!" The dog man cried out.

"We should kill you, after all. Our boss doesn't like loose ends." Stain said with a snarl.

"However, fifteen thousand yen is not something our employer will be able to recover instantly. Therefore, we have no choice but to enlist your services in a... Less than respectable manner in order to make back that money." Joshua said while tugging on his leather gloves.

Serizawa whimpered as he nodded against Stain’s blade. "Anything! Anything! Just please for the love of Kami, don't kill me! I'll get the money! I'll get the money!”

Joshua stared at the man, right into his eyes, straight into the man's soul, "Oh you will get my employer his money. By working it off. Bit by bit.”

"The only question is, what job will you take? Underground fighting? Or prostitution?" Stain asked, giving him options for what will help him pay off the debt.

The man looked at the two before he replied, "I'll be a whore."

That got a dark chuckle out of Stain as he said with a dangerous grin, "Welcome to the Fight Club, newbie." They always go with being a whore. All of these guys do, but it was always a fake option as Dracula wanted people who tried to spit on his generosity to pay in blood one way or another.
