Minerva Arena, The City

-I don't understand why we didn't take in the other bitches. You're only interested in that other stupid brat, don't you?

-I think you still don't get how our deal is.

Attila responds to Adalberto, who was accompanied by many of his associates and his brother, not very happy because he didn't want the other girls to escape. Everybody were gathered in what was Chocolate's office.

-And why so much interest in those girls? -Asked one of the Messiahs who supported the Navarez.

-Because, as Mr. Bernardo said, I'm also a professional, and professionals are guided by codes. After all, I learned that from my boss.

-I need you to understand that we are "troubleshooters", and leaving several women astray, which surely have connections in one place or another, will be... very problematic, if we put it that way -Boris reflects.

-You're talking to what will be the most powerful family, not only in the City, nor in the Country, but in all of the Americas -Adalberto scoffs-. When this is all over, who will dare to stop us?

-I'm sure you're right. Still, I can sense some lack of judgment.

-What do you mean?

-Come on, Bernardo! You know exactly what I'm talking about. But I'd better let me ask you another question: Where is that brash Wonder Boy who you introduced us last time? -Boris asks.

Bernardo stares at Adalberto, shaking his head in disapproval.

-I didn't want to have to bring it up there, but Jonathan wanted to go on business on his own. Ultimately, that served as a kind of justification for us to file more charges against Chocolate. Don't worry about that, we'll kill two birds with one stone.

-Fine, although it seems they didn't expect Fuerza Civil to take matters into their own hands -Boris mentions.

-That'll be my business -Bernardo concludes that topic-. You two worry about doing your job, which is to end this farce as soon as possible. Just I ask you to try not to deform that girl too much. That bitch will have to deal with me after that number a couple of hours. Adalberto has a lot of people who would pay a lot for a night or two with that wench.

-I'll keep my end of the deal, as long as you and your associates keep yours -Attila mentions.

-On behalf of Mr. Csongvai, I'll tell you that he's always someone who reciprocates his contracts.

-So what do I do with the promoters? They already want me to give them their money for signing over the contracts.

-Well, just tell them to wait a week –Bernardo is starting to get fed up with his brother.

-The problem is that there's still a lot of loyalty towards Chocolate, and, as you may have noticed, the State Police..."

-I told you we'll take care of that later -Bernardo interrupted his brother.

-Anyway, if you have problems with Chocolate's associates wanting to get revenge, we'll take care of it. We have enough men for that -said a Financial Messiah-. Also, the Federal and State government won't be happy with the turf heated because of a war. They'll help us with that.

-I appreciate it. Besides, don't worry, we already have our defense in case someone wants to act like a cowboy. We still have our associates looking for potentially troublesome people. We shouldn't worry about the little things.

...

As they left the Minerva Arena, Bernardo and Adalberto were talking.

-Why are you going to see Marissa?
