Rules Of Death

Author's P.O.V

_Insight Inn Meeting Room_

The dimly lit room was abuzz with tension as the four leaders gathered around the polished wood table.

Hades, his face hidden behind a black mask, leaned back in his chair.

Ace, ever the calm mediator, steepled his fingers...

"Let's address the pressing issues. Calista's accident, Catherine's scandal, and Fallon's detention..." Ace said.

Dean's brow furrowed...

"Do we suspect foul play?" Dean curiously asked them.

Damon's eyes narrowed at Hades...

"I think we should question Arius here. Conveniently, all these incidents benefit him..." Damon said, looking intently at Hades.

Hades' masked gaze remained unreadable...

Ace intervened...

"Hold on, Damon. We can't jump to conclusions. Maybe there's another group sabotaging us..." Ace seriously said.

Damon's skepticism lingered...

"You don't find it suspicious, Ace? Arius' influence expands..."

Hades' low voice cut in...

"I've done nothing to harm our interests. Watch your mouth, Damon..." Hades said, threatening him.

Dean rubbed his chin thoughtfully...

"Ace might be right. We have enemies, and this could be a diversion. I'm sure there's someone who really wanted to kill us. After all, we're all murderers, trying to find a prey..." Dean said, smirking.

Catherine's scandal and Fallon's detention were discussed, with theories flying back and forth...

Damon's accusation lingered, casting a shadow over the meeting...

Ace leaned forward, his voice measured...

"Let's focus on facts, not speculation. We need unity, not suspicion..." Ace said, looking at Damon.

Dean nodded in agreement...

"Ace is right. We can't afford infighting..." Dean.

Hades spoke, his masked voice even...

"I propose we investigate each incident separately, find a concrete evidence..." Hades seriously said.

Damon's eyes narrowed...

"And who leads this investigation?" Damon asked them.

"A joint committee, representing each of our interests..." Ace suggested.

The leaders exchanged thoughtful glances...

"What about Fallon's detention? Is it related?" Dean asked them.

Arius's masked gaze met Damon's...

Hades, a senior and notorious figure, spoke calmly...

"I'm the one who gave Fallon a detention..." Hades.

Dean's eyes narrowed...

"Why?" Damon asked.

Hades gaze intensified...

"Fallon's actions warranted discipline. Fallon disobeyed school rules, undermining authority..." Hades said.

Damon's skepticism lingered...

"And Calista's accident? Catherine's scandal?" Damon asked Hades.

Hades tone remained firm...

"Unrelated to Fallon's detention. But I'll uncover the truth..."
