Keireen looks at Ratankira who seems to be serious of what he has said it confuses and worries him.

"The fuck do you mean you're a gang leader? I'm fucking leaving now" Keireen says

"You sound so confused and worried princeling, if you're wondering if I brought you here for some reason other than what I said then my answers no, the first generation laws ensure I couldn't not that I want to anyway, even without those laws I'd get fucked" Ratankira says

Keireen seems to relax, he knows Ratankira isn't wrong about the first generation laws.

"So, you're a criminal? I don't hear of crimes ever happening here" Keireen asks

"Happens all the time princeling, my guess your parents lie to you so that your life is that much simpler, and you don't have to worry" Ratankira says

"Don't dare say my parents are liars" Keireen says

"Whatever you want princeling" Ratankira says

A man walks into the room.

"Ratankira sir, the guy on the docks didn't pay" The man says

"That so? Best we go pay him a visit huh?" Ratankira says

"The fucks going on?" Keireen asks

"Princeling, mind accompanying me to the dock. It'll give you knowledge on what has been kept from you" Ratankira says

"I shouldn't though the docks are quite well guarded and with the firs laws if he does anything, he's liable to get executed or exiled so fast that he won't be able to speak" Keireen thinks to himself

"Well?" Ratankira asks waiting for his answer

"Fine, let's go" Keireen says

"Excellent" Ratankira says

Ratankira teleports to the docks with Keireen and they walk towards a bigger building at the docks where some guards and a man is at.

"So, decided not to pay huh?" Ratankira asks causing the man to be frozen in fear for a second before turning around

"Y-yes well I didn't sell enough to be able to pay" The man says

"Don't lie to me, you know I have people watching you" Ratankira says

The man's demeanor changes.

"Ha! I doubt that, these guards here the eagle eyed and with their magic they will have seen your men" The man says with a smug grin

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

"That so? Reveal yourselves and walk over to me" Ratankira says as if he does have men secretly watching

The guards around the man take off their helmets and walk over to Ratankira confusing the man till he realizes his thought to be faithful guards were actually spying for Ratankira.

"No! Please no! I'll go and get the money to pay!" The man shouts his pleas

"If you had said that before trying to be smug, I may have accepted and given you a little more time" Ratankira says

The spies chuckle.

"Ha! Yeah, they're right I wouldn't, now you're going to lose everything except your life" Ratankira says

"Please!" The man shouts and before he says something else Ratankira begins to use some magic

"I don’t have to speak to do this, but we have a show for the princeling so... Walk into your building and burn it down around you, let the flames even take your clothes" Ratankira says as the spies bow to Keireen

The man's demeanor changes again as he confidently walks into his building and the building gets set alight from inside.

"What the fuck?!" Keireen shouts surprised and a bit appalled by the act

Guards rush over to put out the flames and Ratankira throws some money to them.

"Let it burn" Ratankira says coldly

The guards check the money and then leave to the surprise of Keireen. Keireen looks back at the burning building which has now burnt down completely with the man inside with his clothes burnt off as he sits in a slump in the middle of it all.

"If you somehow come back from this DONT forget to pay and tell the others" Ratankira says coldly as he walks away with his spies

Keireen quickly follows.

"What the fuck was that?!" Keireen asks

"Everyday life in the world of gangs" Ratankira says nonchalantly

"I'm getting you fucking arrested now" Keireen says as he starts to walk away

"On what charges? He burned down the building on his own, yes, I used magic to control him, but the law is finicky when it comes to mind control magic. The guards were paid by me to leave the building alone yes, but I was protecting their lives you saw the fires take that man's clothes it could have roasted those guards alive in that armor" Ratankira says smirking

"Shit! He planned that out!" Keireen thinks to himself angrily

"I could just order you to stop these activities" Keireen says

"And I would have to, you know how the first generation laws work, you tell us to jump off a cliff and we will but if we don't we get exiled and will likely throw ourselves off a cliff anyway" Ratankira says

"Then I order you to stop your activities" Keireen says

"Oh, but of course, just remember the jobs I give people helps keep their families from dying" Ratankira says as he starts to walk away with his spies

"Wait! Explain!" Keireen says causing Ratankira to stop and smirk before turning back to Keireen

"I had to make this gang for at first my own sake or I'd have likely been taken by another gang and put to work or just killed, do not get me wrong I am not a good man neither are most of the people in my employ but the money I get does keep their families fed and housed and also keeps the areas I'm in charge of in a good condition. Helps my image and makes it easier to gain a bit more territory I guess you can put it as" Ratankira says

"He seems serious" Keireen thinks to himself

Keireen scans Ratankiras mind to see if he speaks the truth and finds out he does.

"Don't stop..." Keireen says

"What was that princeling?" Ratankira asks smirking slightly

"Don't stop your gang from doing its shit" Keireen says

"As you command princeling" Ratankira says

"Why did you tell me and show me all this in the first place when I could have just kept you shut down forever?" Keireen asks

"Because what we do is out of survival needs and this world is a cruel one, you need to learn firsthand what is going on princeling, I hope we can become great friends" Ratankira says as he extends a hand

"I don't approve of what you do but maybe" Keireen says as he shakes his hand

"Even if it is all bad, he does have some good points" Keireen says as he teleports home contemplating everything that happened...
