"Tch."
Adelmarus scoff as he walks down an alley, carrying a briefcase. Following him were two bodyguards. Arriving at an open space with dumpsters overfilled with trash, with a door next to it. Opening the door revealed gangsters surround a table with their leader sitting on a chair. That gangsters' leader look at Adelmarus and said, "You got the goods?"
Adelmarus nod took a seat on the other chair and sets the briefcase on the table. He opens the briefcase, revealing bags that contain black powders. The gang leader smile and ask, "So,10 gold and 150 silver coins as usual?"
"No."
The gang leader's brows furrow as his smile turns into a frown. "What do you mean no?"
Adelmarus closes the briefcase. "You have been a naughty little boy and hasn't paid back the money you owe us. So, the cost for today's goods will be 200 gold coins." He said as he began scanning everyone in the room.
"2-200 gold coins! That's outrageous!" The gang leader yells angry but calm when Adelmarus stare at him. "L-Look, I'll pay back the coins later so can we just do the usual price?"
Adelmarus shakes his head as he wag his finger at the gang leader. "You promise you'll pay us back the money in 5 months. 5 months later and we don't see money being paid back so, the price is non-negotiable, Bruno."
The gang leader's eyes begin to turn bloodshot as black veins began to pop out of his forehead. "Please. I -I have don't have the money right now but I can get the money a week later." He begs. His hands were shaking, noticing the state their boss was in, the gang members became uneasy and begin whispering among themselves. Bruno turns to face them and yell at them to shut up.

Adelmarus just stare at him, his face staying the same as Bruno begs. "How many times do I have to tell you this. You didn't pay us back since the price is higher and is non-negotiable."
Bruno's look turns to despair as more black veins appear.
"But..."
Bruno's face turns hopeful.
"...You can repay us through another mean." Adelmarus said.
"R-Really? What is it?" Bruno ask.
Adelmarus spread his arms wide. "Why by serving Madame Keres of course!"
"I'll do it!" Bruno said.
"You're sure?"
"Yes!"
"I see," Adelmarus said rest his chin on his hand. He then turns to his bodyguards. "Kill them all." The two bodyguards nod.
"What?" Bruno said confuse.
Adelmarus face Bruno. "Don't worry you'll pay off your debt by serving Madame when you're dead meatbag. Now if you excuse me I have a call to make." He stood up and began to walk out.
Bruno opens his mouth to said something but was unable to do so before being killed by one of the bodyguards whose arms have now turn into blades while the other's turn into guns.
"Fuck!"
"I'll kill you!"
*Few Minutes Later."
"Yes everything is cleared, just send in the cleanup crew to help retrieve the bodies and clean up the blood and entrails you got that. Good." Adelmarcus hung up. One of his bodyguards walks up to him.
"Sir, all targets have been eliminated. Although this one has a question." The bodyguard report.
"What is it A-Lar-X2?" Adelmarcus ask.
"This one would like to ask what would happen to families of the targets?" A-Lar-X2 ask.
"Just kill them." Adelmarcus answers shrugging. "Just make sure it can't be traced back to us.
"Affirmative," A-Lar-X2 said.
"Good."
"Hey it seems that one of the major gang locates in Section C - 1 is gone." A guardsman said.
"So what? It's above our paygrade. Just ignore it."
"Good point."

Paradigm Shift - New Beginnings
The known universe is facing an invasion from a foe that can rewrite the natural laws and that will destroy everyting we know. Derrick is ripped from his world and sent to the newest incursion point of an enemy he doesn't even know exists. He is the hail mary or kitchen sink of the universe and it will be up to him to adapt to his new world and become strong enough to survive and to save the universe. ********* Author's Note ********* This is my first published book so feedback would be appreciated. A couple of caveats. First this story is about the details, if you don't enjoy reading and finding the easter eggs or just like to speed read through the chapters you will probably not enjoy it. Second for those that do not like the Harem tag I just want to state that this is going to be a matriarchal society and the women will outnumber the men 5-1. That being the case and because of the culture that I imagine would arise from this I felt it fair to put that tag out there. However, the main character isn't going to be picking up women left and right. This is not a typical harem story. Image was googled so I have no rights to it
