The Flamingo Arc Book 1

Chapter 3: Success

It's been months since Jaune found a career in the fashion industry. In a matter of months, Jaune was able to rise through the company's ranks. Eventually, he quit his job and created his own fashion brand. Thanks to his skills in sewing, he became one of the most popular male fashion designers in Remnant. His fashion brand is called "Numancia Flamingo." Everyone can tell that it's his real brand because of the symbol that always stitched to his product. His symbol is a smiley being crossed out. (Doflamingo's Jolly Roger.) His brand is sold all over Remnant with Vale and Atlas being the most profitable. His company is located in Vale and it's very difficult to talk to the Jaune since he's very busy. That's where we begin.

Jaune is in his office and sketching on his notebook, trying to design a new dress. He changed a lot over the months and he's not who he used to be. His hair was kept the same, expect it's now combed well, he's wearing a full red suit with a black dress shirt and black oxfords. The things that he always wear, is a large light pink feather coat that always draped on his shoulders and the same curved sunglasses he bought months ago. Jaune hasn't showed his eyes in months and always has a deep prideful smile on his face. This new personality has scared his family since the kind man they loved isn't there anymore.

As Jaune was busy sketching the outline of the dress, he hears his door knocking.

Jaune: "Come in." He said while not looking at who enter the room.

?????: "Mr. Arc. Jacques Schnee is here." Said a beautiful female assistant. 

The assistant has beautiful purple hair, purple eye-liner and lipstick, her hair has kanzashi (Hair pins), wearing a beautiful white pattern kimono, tabi socks and geta sandals. 

(I don't own this image.)

Jaune: "And why is he here, Rarity." He said as continues to sketch. 

Rarity: "Apparently, the Schnee Dust Company isn't doing too well with their products being sold because small dust companies are selling their Dust Cheaper. Apparently, someone has exposed your actions of funding small dust companies and Mr. Schnee is upset about that."

Jaune: "Tch, old fool." He mutter as he closes his sketchbook. "Fine, send him in." He said to Rarity.

Rarity: "Of course." She said before leaving to get the head of the Schnee dust company.

As Jaune waited, he waves his hands and slightly moved his fingers as a very thin white string came out of his index finger. He patiently waited for another minute before Rarity re-entered the room with Jacques Schnee and some men in suits following him.

Jaune: "I believe that only Jacque Schnee came to see me, so why are there bodyguards in my office?" He questioned as Rarity stand by his side.

Jacque: "They're my bodyguards. You don't know this, but there are a lot of people trying to kill me."

Jaune: "You don't say." He said sarcastically. "Now, why are you here? I'm a very busy man."

Jacque: "You run the most successful fashion brand in Remnant, yet you get yourself involve in dust industries, when it doesn't concern you." He growled.

Jaune: "It is when my employees are complaining how your dust prices are outrages and you put small dust stores out of business. The small dust owners were begging for me to invest in them since they're afraid of losing their businesses and won't be able to provide for their families."

Jacque: "Yet, you didn't partner with me. Why?"

Jaune: "Tch, because you're well-known to be a greedy and shitty business partners. The small dust owners negotiated a fair price that will benefit all of us. Yet, you will complain to demand more profit. I wouldn't partner with you, even if you were the last dust company in the world."

Jacque: "Watch your mouth boy! You wouldn't want me as an enemy." He growled.

Jaune: "No Jacque, YOU wouldn't want me as an enemy. I have the power to literally bankrupt the entire Schnee Dust Company and you won't be able to do a damn thing about it." He say to the Dust owner.

Jacque: "Are you threatening me, boy?" He growled as his bodyguard got their hands inside their jacket.

Jaune: "It's not a threat old man. It is a promise." He said his red lenses glowed.

Jacque: "Fine, have it your way." He said before turning his head to his bodyguards and nodded his head.

The bodyguards got out their guns and aimed it Rarity. None of them, except her, notice Jaune raising his index finger. The bodyguards are about to pull their triggers, but for some reason they couldn't.

Jacque: "What are you idiots doing?! Shoot her!"

Guard 1: "We can't sir!"

Guard 2: "I can't feel my arms!"

Guard 3: "Help!!!"

Guard 4: "I can't breathe!"

The guards yell to their employer as they can't shoot their weapons. Jaune slowly puts down his finger as strings are binding the guard's body. The guards are screaming in pain as the strings are tightening their body. Once Jaune put his finger completely down, the guards' bodies was sliced apart, spraying trails of blood all over the office. Jacques was wide-eyed as his trained men were all in pieces without Jaune even moving from his seat. Jacques falls on his rear in terror.

Jacques: "Y-You're a monster." He said with a quiet tone.

Jaune: "Oh I'm a monster? Says the legitimate businessman who planned to kill my beautiful assistant." He said as he twitches his fingers, binding Jacques with invisible wires, raising him to stand on his feet then snapped his fingers as Rarity understand the command and went to retrieve something.

Jacques: "W-what are you doing?! I demand that you let me go this instance!" He yells at the ex-Beacon student as Rarity returned to the office with a huge pair of scissors with one being red and the other purple.

(I don't own this image.)

Jaune: "Sorry Mr. Schnee, it not just personal." He said as he spreads open the scissor blades and position it to the Jacque's abdomen. "It's just business." 

Jaune then made a snip.
