Bloom 800 

15 days after the end of the war. In the territory of Sagev. 

  "Rue, ya hear me? They're calling themselves World Kings." Cassius repeated himself. Bonrue ignored him and continued to keep his face buried in a book. Cassius however was used to his friend's unwillingness to contribute to the conversation and continued to speak as he scrolled down the news feed on his mini tab. "They're saying they got magical powers or something. The world government don't seem too happy with them calling themselves that either. Shit's wild Rue." As Bonrue continued to ignore him two boys about their age approached them. "Aye, lemme get two rounds." One of the boys asked Cassius. “50." Cassius responded, reaching into his pocket. "But it was 35 last week." The boy protested. "Inflation." Cassius said dryly. The boy hesitated to hand Cassius the money. "Look fellas, I have other business prospects and the two of you are crowding my office space so if y'all ain't buying." Cassius let the statement hang in the air as he began to put the product back in his pocket. "Just do it man." The boy's friend urged. "Fine." The boy handed Cassius the money and Cassius handed him two small green tubes. "Now if you two don't mind..." Cassius gestured toward the entrance and the boys quickly vacated the recreation area. "Kikazaru is going to come for you when he finds out you raised the prices without telling him." Bonrue finally spoke but his eyes still skimmed the page of his book. Cassius chuckled placing the watch he discreetly lifted off the boy's wrist into his pocket. "Kikazaru can kiss my ass. He's going to be working for me one day Rue. I'm going to run this city." "Why stop there?" Bonrue's tone was sarcastic but Cassius didn't catch it. "You know you're right, why stop? This whole territory is gonna have my name on it!" Cassius was yelling now and the whole recreational area was looking at the two of them. Cassius noticed and brandished a pistol that was tucked into his pants and hidden under his shirt. "What y'all looking at?" The kids in the rec area immediately went back to their activities. Bonrue closed his book and stood up as Cassius let his shirt down once again hiding his gun. "World Kings huh? Interesting." Bonrue said as he walked towards the exit. Cassius followed close behind.
