"No one knows exactly how strong he is, just like no one knows how strong His Majesty is," the Ninth King replied in a low voice. He answered vaguely since even he didn't know the answer to this question.

The way he described it made it seem like it was unclear if the young man known as Adrian was stronger or their leader. They had no idea. All they knew was that long there was a deal between their leader and Adrian Balakin.

Their leader wasn't supposed to go to Russia ever. Adrian Balakin wasn't supposed to come to the States under the original terms of the deal.

"I wonder what brought that guy here. According to the deal, he shouldn't have stepped foot here. Second, go and check the whereabouts of Suliven, Draco, and Itsuki. Out of the other six, these three are most unpredictable and chaotic. I want to know if they are in England, China, and Japan, or they left too," The man on the Throne said to the Second King.

"Yes, Your Majesty," the Second King said as he stood up and left the hall.

The Second King walked through the hallway of the Palace on the mysterious island as he talked to himself.

"Adrian Balakin is here. If Suliven, Draco, and Itsuki come here as well, wouldn't it be a disaster? Those three are said to have the same reputation in England, China, and Japan that Adrian Balakin has in Russia. Why is everyone coming here? What could it be that's pulling them here? Is a war on the horizon, or is it something else?" the Second King muttered as he continued walking towards the exit.

He left the Place, only to find a helicopter waiting for him outside.

Stepping inside the helicopter, he commanded the Pilot to leave.

The Helicopter started flying away and left the island.

****

Far away from the Mysterious Island country in East Asia, located in the northwest Pacific Ocean. It was the land known for its technology, and it's amazing culture that had still managed to survive despite the long years. The country of Japan was known to be very advanced near the start of the 21st century, and it only got better with the passage of time.

They developed many new things and achieved many technological Breakthroughs.

One of the Top Five companies in this world had its origin in Japan. It was known as the Itsuki Corporation. It was not always at the top like that. Itsuki Corporation was made after joining multiple big corporations that were owned by various billionaires of the country; however, before anyone could know what happened, a piece of news arrived that all of them had sold their company to a man known as Itsuki Yamada.

The previously unknown man became the owner of multiple giant corporations of Japan in a single night. His name was in every newspaper the next day.

The man merged all the companies he now owned, making them one under the banner of Itsuki Corporation.

Thus, a new company appeared in the top five. Itsuki Corporation was just one spot under the Dream Corporation, which was owned by Shu Maxwell.

The tallest building in the country of Japan was known to be the base of Itsuki Corporation.

A young man was sitting in a luxurious office on the top floor of Itsuki Corporation.

The man had seemed to be in his late twenties. He was sitting on a comfortable chair, looking at the screen of his Computer. He was wearing a long silver trench coat and a brown scarf around his neck. There was a sense of boredom on his face that seemed to be there for a long time.

Suddenly he heard the knocking on the door.

"Come inside," the man said, glancing towards the door.

The door opened, and a young woman entered the room. The woman seemed to be wearing a smart skirt that barely covered her fair thigh. The woman looked so pretty that she could make a guy fall in love instantly, but the blonde-haired man didn't seem phased.

"What happened?" the man asked in a calm tone as he glanced at the woman who seemed like she could be a model.

"Master Itsuki, You told us to keep an eye on six people. One of them had left their country," the woman informed the young man who was the owner of the Itsuki Corporation— Itsuki Yamada.

"Oh? That's interesting. That was unexpected. At Least so soon. Who is it?" The young man inquired as a smile appeared on his bored face.

"Adrian Balakin. He entered the States this morning. We just got the information," the woman informed the blonde-haired man with a grave look on her face.

"Hah, that disaster went to the States. It looks like fun times are ahead. It's his headache about how to handle Adrian since it's his place. I don't need to care one bit. I'm curious indeed, though. How come Adrian Balakin went there? What attracted him there," The Young Man muttered as an interested smile spread on his face.

"Also, I've seen movement around us. It seems like people are trying to see if you're in the country or not," the woman further said.

"That's to be expected. It must be that guy. He's probably curious since Adrian entered his land. He wants to see if I'm involved or not," The man said, glancing back at his screen.

"Yui, keep an eye on the people I told you to. Tell me anyone else of the six leaves, especially that Draco. I don't want the fun to end so fast. It's not every day we get such interesting situations," The young man muttered as he smiled while looking at the girl.

The Woman nodded her head before she excused herself and turned towards the door. She stepped outside.

" Adrian Balakin, huh. The second youngest of us but no less than anyone else. It's going to be fun indeed," the man muttered as he glanced at the roof.

****

Back in China, a man who seemed like he was in his early thirties got the same information about Adrian leaving Russia. An intrigued look appeared on his face as he glanced at the window.

****

Inside Germany, a man was sitting in his expensive sports car. He was just about to start the car to go somewhere when his phone rang.

"Adrian Balakin?" he muttered as his fingers tapped on the steering wheel of the car.
