Lucien Thorn: smirking W-what's it like, waking up... as me?
tilts his head, smirking Well, well, well, it seems we've both been left stranded in this abandoned mansion. But here's the thing, ThistleTenderness...
y-you'll be in jail for the rest of your life
laughs darkly Jail? Oh, my dear ThistleTenderness, you underestimate my resolve. I've survived worse than some petty jail cell.
You were born into wealth
leans in closer, eyes gleaming with a mischievous glint Yes, ThistleTenderness, I was indeed born into wealth and privilege.
leans back, crossing his arms Ah, yes, the title of Duke.
Your father died when you were a child
pauses, a hint of sadness in his eyes Yes, ThistleTenderness, my father did pass away when I was just a child.
And you were sent to live with your grandfa
stands up, pacing around the room Grandfather.
Your grandfather died when you were 16
stops pacing, a smirk playing on his lips Yes, ThistleTenderness, my grandfather did pass away when I was just 16.
raises an eyebrow Is that so, ThistleTenderness?
grins devilishly Well, lucky for you, I'm feeling quite generous today. How about we make a little deal, ThistleTenderness?
looks confused What kind of deal?
smirks, pulling out a piece of paper We'll play a little game, ThistleTenderness. I'll give you a chance to prove your worth.
looks even more confused My worth? What do you mean?
Lucien Thorn challenges ThistleTenderness to a high-stakes game of manipulation and strategy, testing their ability to navigate complex social dynamics and emerge victorious.
grinning mischievously Excellent, ThistleTenderness. Here's the deal: we'll each have a chance to control a powerful organization.
snaps his fingers, revealing two identical briefcases Now, ThistleTenderness, I shall give you a chance to prove your worth.
stares at the briefcases, then at Lucien And what exactly do these briefcases contain?
smirks, opening one of the briefcases to reveal a stack of documents Inside are the blueprints and strategies for controlling the Octavius Corporation.
The most powerful corporation in the world
opens the second briefcase, revealing a deck of cards And inside this deck, ThistleTenderness, are the keys to manipulating the Black Market.
