"Hello," Rexford answered excusing himself from the table. "Mrs.Arabi" With A wave of his hand and all the food for him that was on the cart disappeared. The waiter didn't notice a thing as he was in a daze from the Rich Qi aroma in the room. 'The food service was also pretty quick. But that is most likely because of the Bo family.'

"I am here! Where are you?" No one stopped her as she entered the place. Unlike her daughter, she was well-known in the right places. None wanted to offend her and just kept a close eye to see if a scandal was going on. "Help me find Cece!"

"Ok ok, geez." Rexford hung up the phone and walked away seeing the others were in deep cultivation and would not be done anytime soon. "I will be back in a bit."

Hopefully, they heard him as he moved out of the room.

Finding the distressed mother was easy.

"Mrs.Arabi.. even in distress you are looking just breathtaking." Rexford gave the woman a warm smile.

"No time for your teasing!" Mrs.Arabi ran up out of breath. "Help me find her!"

"Ehem, she is upstairs, follow me." The same Host from before said. The moment she entered he was able to piece a little together about the situation. "I am sorry about all the trouble but.."

"If something happened to my daughter I will.."

"You will calm down." Rexford said as he followed along. "Cecilia and her friends brought this on themselves. There was much more things that could happen to them I bet. Like.. selling them into sex trafficking, or getting them strung out on drugs.. or harvesting the organs."

"Hehe, you joke sir. None of that is happening."

"Just helping her understand how dangerous the world can be to an idiot." Rexford shrugged while they walked. "And if you are a little attractive... ohh booyyy." The excitement was making Rexford feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 'Ah, my bad habits are coming back. I need to have some "fun" soon.'

"Hurry!" Mrs.Arabi's mind ran wild as she started to speed up once her second wind kicked in.

The females were sitting on the couch next to the big boss of the area, Alessandro Cosimo. They shivered scared a little as one of the lackeys was forced to cut off his hand a few minutes ago. Chad was roughed up a little, having tried to stop it got him a beating.

The other lackeys pissed themselves scared and were not much help. Literally, piss on the floor by them.

'What the hell are we going to do now!?' Chad's mind was running a mile a minute. His fathers' name meant nothing to these guys and he might have even caused trouble for him later. They greatly miscalculated the situation. 'That loser had the idea to get out of here earlier! Now, look at the situation over some pussy!'

"What are we going to do Cece?" Michelle asked whispering. By the looks of it, they seem to know who Page was connected to and was a little reluctant to go to far. But the guys not so much. "Can you call your dad to help?"

"And get in deeper trouble?!" Cece was not wanting to do that at all.

"Cece!" Mrs.Arabi yelled running to her daughter. "What have you gotten yourself into child!?"

"Mom!" She was quite happy considering the situation. Running over like a child to seek the comfort of her parent.

"Humph! Little Cosimo, you dare mess with my daughter and her friends eh!"

"I do." The woman may have some pull with her family but that does not mean she could throw her weight around in his place. "Take your brat and the girl next to her! The rest are staying with me for a bit!" Cosimo was smart enough to not target her directly. "Consider this keeping the friendship between our families of old."

"See, not even a problem." Rexford was leaning against the wall watching everything unfold. Cosimo was definitely someone trying to elevate his station more than what it was. "Man that hand looks jacked up. Maybe they can still save it if you get to the hospital in time?" Looking at the blonde teen clutching his severed limb, it did look salvageable. If he didn't lose too much blood first and die. "Just need to get to the limb on ice to help save functions."

"Who the hell are you?" Cosimo met some weird punks in his day, but this was the weirdest. 'Not even scared in the least. Even joking over the matter. His eyes have mostly rested on the woman, and barely any other.'

Moving to the drinks on the table, Rexford looked the drinks over fixing a quick one. Straight vodka with a single ice cube. Drinking it with a very pleased expression as he really wanted a drink to taste.

The observation was not missed by Cece and Page. They both felt slightly irked.

"Boss Cosimo, I have already apologized and my friend needs a hospital." Chad attempted to diffuse the situation even further. "Let it end here."

"Hmm, fine." Boss Cosimo didn't pay any attention to him really. "You can go.. but he stays. Who told you can drink my alcohol?"

"Me, myself, and I. What kind of Host are you to not offer a drink?" Rexford fixed another and looked over the fiery redhead draped over Cosimo. "Or offer me a "meal" like the one you have?" He licked his lips causing the woman to shudder a little. "Over there with that straight snack.. man, I am just envious."

"Humph bold one aren't you." Cosimo watched as Rexford moved to sit down crossing his leg over his knee. He gave his thigh a pat. Dusting it off just for the sake of it. "The rest of you.. get the hell out." Seeing them not moving, he threw the glass directly at Mrs.Arabi. "I said get out!"

*Fwip!* A small object hit the glass in the air. Knocking it to the side. Everyone looked at the glass shattered with an ice cube mixed inside it.

"What in the world just happened?" Chad voiced.

"You can not stay here with them." Cece said in a panic. Actual concern or she was trying to get rid of any possible guilt.

"You should go before you cause any more problems." Rexford eyed her coldly. "After all.. this is both your fault and their own." He pointed at Michelle and the blond who was about to pass out. "Don't worry about my business and take care of yourself."

Cece felt hurt but thinking if she would have pushed Michelle to change her mind, this could have been avoided. By the looks of it, Pagei was not wanting to leave him as well in this situation.

"Come on Cecen." Mrs.Arabi pulled her daughter away. The rest followed with a scurry. The moment she was out the door, she was already calling someone to help with the situation. 'Please pick up!'

"You got balls, but nobody makes a fool of me." Cosimo said. "You need to be shown who runs this part of the city. He gestured to his muscle to deal with things. "Kick his ass for acting to cocky Luigi."

"You just ran your mouth to much!" Luigi was a pretty built dude with good skills. For a street bawler anyway with a little military fighting style added in.

Luigi's appearance clicked inside his hand a little. He knew a Luigi back on his Earth but the man died in an ambush in the Sudan.

"I know of you." Rexford smiled pleased. During the time he fixed the drink, he thought over good avenues to get money faster. "The number one Infiltrator for Spec Ops back around 2008. Jacked up your military career by putting the smackdown on a trainer. Temper it seems was the cause. But some say it was because of the overall corruption in the Division."

The words spoken pissed Luigi off. It was a sore spot that only served to continue and ruin his life every time it was brought up. He did develop an anger problem from the situation.

"Shut your mouth!" Luigi charged forward at the sitting Rexford. His hands slipped to the back putting on some spike dusters. "I can punch through wooden doors, imagine what I will do to your face!"

"Nothing." Rexford smirked. He was enjoying himself a good bit. Raising his hand up, he flicked his fingers one by one. "I am going to make you stronger than punching through doors. Well.. if your boss takes my deal that is."

*Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!* Four cones of air shot out no bigger than an inch. Four direct hits in the chest sent Luigi flying back. He landed face up spewing blood after a single aerial flip.

Before Boss Cosimo could signal the rest of his guys to take out Rexford, a phone started ringing.

"Excuse me just a moment." Rexford raised his hand sending a force of Qi wave out. The men behind Boss Cosimo and the woman were sent flying into the wall brutally. Most of them are worse off than Luigi. "Hello, what is it, Blake.. Cross was your last name right?"

'Blake Cross, if that is who I think it is, then this young man might have a background to consider.' Boss Cosimo had the woman tend to his guys. It wouldn't be good to loose so many in one day. The good news was Luigi was still breathing. "Who is that yelling?"

Out in the hall, a voice was yelling for Rexford to come out. The female's voice was getting louder.

"Rexford! Where are you!?" It was Cassandra still amped up on the Vortex Spirit Enhancing Pill shouting.

"By the way, the young miss is looking for you. Didn't know you were the one she was sneaking off to visit." Blake teased. "I am actually coming to pick her up after her father caught wind of her sneaking out to meet someone. The General is quite strict with his daughter."

"Yeah, I hear her now. Well, I am just talking with someone named Cosimo... about business." Rexford stood up and sat the drink back down on the table. "He has some really good vodka. Definitely want to find his supplier."

"Heh, you drink. That is not good for you at this age." Blake had a few more herbs to pass on in the vehicle. He was actually going to drop it off after picking up Cassandra, so this helped. "Let me speak with brother Cosimo right quick, help with your business a little."

"Sure." Rexford tossed the phone over. "He wants to talk with you for some reason or another." Moving to the door after, he waved the young Bo heiress over. "Yelling like this.. people will start to talk."

"Brother Cross.. it is really you!" Cosimo says shocked into the phone. Seeing Cassandra at the door, he leaned back in an almost daze. A little yelling over the phone got him to focus really quickly though. "No! No! I didn't doubt your voice!"

As the two talked things over, Rexford borrowed Cassandra's phone to make a call.

"Hey Mrs.Arabi, do you know anyone in the Entertainment Industry looking to start up?"

"You crazy boy, where are you!? Did you run away!? Who phone are you calling from?!" Mrs.Arabi was frantic. The driver had insisted on driving this time after he saw her go to the driver side. They were rushing to the hospital still. Receiving the answers she was still not calm. "I will have the driver go back to pick you up after we drop off Cece's friend."

"That is not necessary. About what I asked however..." Rexford didn't want her wasting time. "I will keep in touch later, have some matters to see to. Stay safe." Hanging up, a thought popped up to check on someone else. "A few pictures here and there and that should help."

Talking with the staff to have them take a few pics for him, Rexford thanked them and sent the pics to his email. Then to the family members, and friends of the original Rexford Hyrcanus. Out of all the people he shifted to get rid of emotional ties to, he felt a small weird disconnection with her when viewing to get rid of them before.

Whether it was from removing the emotional attachment to her or the fate of her overall beg the question of really getting involved and changing the situation. But the Gold protection definitely begs the need further to look into it.

Calliope Aurora, the child of a friend's mother. She was after all a remarkable young woman to look at. Just the crap of her raised as a sister to the original kept him from trying anything overt. Returning to the others, he was disappointed no message back came from Mrs.Arabi.

Logging out of his email in someone else phone, Rexford passed it back to the owner.
