Flauros little adventure of torturing evil-doers and the perverse glee of doing so was over by the daylight. 

It's back to the ole' mundane operation as the cafe manager as responsibility kicks in to start the day. Yay fun!

[color=00a651]"Spam, spam, bills, yikes.. definitely spam.. huh? my, what do we have here?"[/color] Flauros raised a brow and leans back in his chair, curious about this particular letter of a rent advertisement that tickles his fancy. A mysterious letter that was specifically made as if to lure the demon general into a trap.

A conveniently placed ad that just opened around the corner of the shadiest part of the city. It seems to be the perfect location for his cafe expansion franchise with all of its suited specifics, agreeable conditions, and the low rental fee the ad is offering. It's almost too good to be true!

This letter reeks of malice, false promises, and ill intent attempt to scam those who are gullible enough to take the bait. Just like any normal ads. But alas curiosity got the best of him and decided to check what kind of fiend would have the audacity to fake such a note.

Flauros rolls out with two of his best demon henchmen and checks the place for himself. These demonic henchmen are the embodiment of strength and speed. One is a towering brute built like a brick and the other a slender being; both wearing business suits, guising themselves as normal humans. 

Upon arriving at the designated venue, He saw an insurance company specifically made for volcano victims. A Weird choice for social security services but nothing out of the norm, right?

Within its spacious lobby, Flauros entered the site and can't help but notice the lonesome receptionist sprinting all over the place, preparing last-minute traps by the orders of his bosses. He seems panicked and running on a deadline as he bounces all over the place.

[color=00a651]"Hope I'm not interrupting,"[/color] Flauros clears his throat, hoping to get the intern's attention.

[b]"Stupid kunai dispenser..."[/b] Greg muttered.

[b]"Oh I'm sorry you have to see me like this, talk about bad timing huh? one of our deadly traps come to a bust.. I'll be there in a minute,"[/b]  The earnest young intern said, focusing on the task at hand, not even bother looking at Flauros and his two goons. 

Being the gentleman that he is, Flauros decided to wait for the young intern to fix his struggles.

With a few smacks of the wrench trying to fix the machine, it starts whirling rapidly and instantly hurls a knife in the demon general's direction.  Luckily, the gargantuan demon blocks it out of instinct, putting its massive body on the line for its master, absorbing it within its chest. Unfazed, The giant just grunted in response to being stabbed by a small knife like it was just your normal Tuesday.

[b]"Yikes, that looks painful I'm sorry"[/b] Greg winced at the sight. 

[color=00a651]"Not to worry.. Uhm.. Greg"[/color] Flauros squints his eyes, reading the intern's name tag. [color=00a651]"My good fellow over here is prepared for anything and understands the occupational hazard working for me"[/color] Flauros continued and steps forward.

[color=00a651]"I think we got that out of the way, let's discuss why I'm here. may I ask who send me this obvious death trap of a letter?"[/color] He asked.

[b]"Oh, you're one of those guys... Sorry to keep you waiting. My employer said to guide you to your doom. Just take the elevator on your left and somebody will accompany you to your inevitable defeat" [/b]

Just like the accommodating intern receptionist instructed, Flauros and his two bodyguards descend into the subterranean lair, patiently waiting inside the elevator cube while listening to its mellow music.

The lift suddenly comes to a halt. 

The elevator doors open. 

The sight of an underground paradise filled with droplets of falling sakura petals coming from a single sakura tree welcomes the demonic advocate. 

It appears that this underground base is bigger than it appears. 

This must be the garden room.

[b]"Abandon all hope, Despair is imminent, for the shogun of the shadows consumes all. Descendant of the dark side of the sun"[/b] engraved on a stone wall lies an ominous warning.Upon this sign lies a small bridge that is connected to a lavish Japanese theme miniature mansion where the Shogun resides.

Despite the pleasant scenery, Flauros' evil eyes can't help but react to his surroundings. Beneath the facade of this artificial paradise. dangers are lurking about in the shadows.
