บท 4: Arc-1 Blood Money
Hellfire Club, New York
Sixteen-year-old Emma walked through the secret door, flanked by two bodyguards, and entered a room exclusively for the highest members of the club, in this case, her Father.
Sitting behind a posh desk, Winston Frost, the White King looked at his daughter barely stopping himself from glaring at her dyed blond hair.
"Rebellious till the end, I see. No matter, I have a task for you, if you do that I will let Christain free."
Emma immediately perked up at that. Christain, her elder brother was the only one she cared for in their family and Winston knew that well. But to Winston, Christain's only use was as leverage against Emma.
Christian was a disgrace of Frost family, and Winston had no intention of letting him go free. At some level, even Emma knew that but Winston knew she would listen regardless.
Because she also had hope. And as long she had hope, she would obey him.
"What is this.. task?" Emma spoke, and Winston was amused at her amateur attempt at keeping her trepidation out of her voice.
He picked up a file and threw it in from of her. Emma eyed it skeptically before picking it up.
"I have been keeping track of every big movement of money around the globe, transactions, investments, background deals, and donations; and for years I have found traces of an elusive group doing backroom deals in middle-east and Africa. That group operated through hundreds of proxies and shell companies and after years of searching their trail, I was able to trace them back to London."
"Now all you have to do is use your unique...talents to find this group, individual, organization, whatever it is."
"What for?"
"My reasons are my own, just do as you are told.", Winston replied coldly.
Emma bowed her head, but her eyes were still had a defiant streak in them. She opened the file and began reading.
The more she read, the paler she became. She looked at Winston in horror, "What the hell is this group you are so interested in. Political and Diplomatic immunity, no tax or tariffs, and look at the estimated money they invest if you can call it that, Twenty-Five billion dollars even by the most conservative estimate; and that is just for one year. And you want me to go find this group."
Winston smiled, and ringed the bell on his table, "You really expected this was going to be easy? That I will let go Christian that easy? Come on Emma, don't you remember what I taught about business, from the last transaction, squeeze out every bit of money any way possible."
Just then he felt psionic blockers on his waist heating up. He turned to face furious Emma and smiled, signaling both men with his hand.
One guard came forward and held the back of Emma's head in his vice-like grip. With a signal from Winston, he rammed her face straight into the polished wood table.
"Agggh" Emma cried, falling down, clutching her broken, bleeding nose, her face stinging with pain.
Winston Frost, the White King got up from his chair and leisurely walked to her prone form of his daughter. Kneeling down in front of her, he pulled clutched her hair and pulled to raise her head so that both of them were face to face.
"I had enough of your defiance, your meaningless rebellion. Do as I say or face the consequence."
Emma gritted her teeth and nodded but Winston did not miss the defiant glare in her eyes. He smiled, 'Good, just finish the task, let's see how defiant you will be after seeing Christian dead.'
Unbeknown to both Emma and Winston, their entire exchange was being observed through a hidden camera.
Sebastian Shaw, the Black King along with his secretary, Sage watched with interest the scene. His eyes were set on Emma Frost as the gears in his head turned, coming up with one plan after the other.

Authors note:-
The First Arc Starts!!!
Things are finally picking up. With what I have planned for this; spies, mutants, wizards, and many other threats coming to uproot Harry's quiet and peaceful life, where he will be confronted with the dark underbelly of both worlds, putting him against some truly powerful fractions.
Also, Blood money will introduce the first cosmic being that will play an important role throughout the story, but not in a way you might think of.
Also, many in comment section questioned why Harry could do all that he could do but he could not heal Hedwig.
Well...he could. Why he did not do so yet, just wait and see.
