Chapter 37 - 11 Angry Thomas (1/2)

The newly identified Mr. Sionis full name is Roman Sionis. He was the son of a wealthy businessman Charles Sionis who runs a company called Janus Cosmetics.

They were rich enough to be a member of the social elites of Gotham.

After his parents died, he became president of Janus Cosmetics, but he proved to be a poor businessman. At this point, Roman's started collecting masks from every corner of the world and not long after this, he drove the company near to bankruptcy. In a desperate attempt, Roman created a new cosmetic product, which turned out to be hazardous and Janus Cosmetics was besieged by several hundred lawsuits.

A humiliated Roman was forced to accept a bailout from Wayne Enterprises, on the condition that Roman resigned to his position as president of Janus Cosmetics.

After losing his empire, Roman went to the crypt where his parents were buried, where he started smashing his father's ebony casket with the stone. Roman started carving a piece of his father's casket lid into a fearsome black mask, eventually adopting the identity of Gotham's newest crime lord, Black Mask.

Roman's own poor business sense led to a series of decisions that largely destroyed his reputation as both. Humiliated, Roman sought revenge on those he perceived to be responsible for his misfortunes - namely, Bruce Wayne and his company. To this end, Roman created the identity of the crime lord named Black Mask, as well as the criminal organization is known as the False Face Society.

” You are Thomas Allens?” Although Roman knows who he is, yet he inquires it means that he wants to get the upper hand in this communication.

Although Thomas has an idea on what he wished to achieve, he follows his way, ” Yes, I am Thomas Allens. What can I help you with Mr. Sionis ?”

” I want the shares from your hospital. Give me 70 percent of the control and I will not make things difficult for you in Gotham. ” He directly threatened Thomas and asked for a big bite. He glared through his scary mask to stress his point.

But Thomas wasn't having any of it. ” And how much are you willing to pay for these shares?” Thomas asked him as calm as ever.

He stood up angrily and smashed his hands on the glass table in front of Thomas and shattered it to bits.

He glared at Thomas ” Do you think I am playing some game, kid? Don't play these word games with me? It is the cost of your survival and not getting killed in my hands.

You better hand over the shares or I will kill you and your family. If you don't listen to me, you will experience true hell.

I heard your mother is quite a beauty. I will play with her and then hand her over to my gang. I will not kill your sister. If she is anything like your mother she will be a beauty too.

I will let her grow and when she is 14, she will be my plaything. So, kid, do you dare to take that risk? ” he mocked Thomas and laughed at him sinisterly.

His gang joined their boss and laughed, they even hoped that he will reject their offer so they can have an A-rank beauty to themselves.

It may seem like Thomas was calm and sat quietly but in fact, there is a volcano which erupted inside him. At that very instant he has decided, there is no need for the Black Mask to exist in the world.

” You know Roman, you shouldn't have said that. For these words, you are sentenced to die. ” Thomas issued the death order not caring that he and his friends are surrounded by goons with guns and they have no weapons on themselves to protect.

” Oh, and how are you going to do that, kid?” A thug mocked Thomas and laughed loudly while pulling out a pistol.

Similar things happened before anyone can react. Within moments, seven out of ten people are killed with a bullet through their head.

Daisy acted herself and took down the two people, crushing their necks and killing them.

The only one alive was Roman who was now in Thomas's grip. Thomas has grabbed his forehead and was trying to crack it open with his hands.

The loud mȯȧns of Roman echoed the room and even the surrounding. Fortunately, the room was soundproof or everyone could have heard his shouts of pain.
