*Arthur returns to Hu in his fox form, and goes to pick up the armor and sword he left behind at the tree. It was dark, so he couldn't spot Hu easily, but noticed a shadow move amongst the still darkness that was near the oak tree. Assuming that was Hu, Arthur goes to check; and sure enough, there was Hu Lang, standing at the tree, absentmindedly.*

"Hu," Arthur began. "Theres a bit of an issue. It's dark, and there are guards blocking the front of the mansion, but they don't seem to have any sources of light that I could spot. At the back, there was a rose garden, but that seemed unguarded for the most part. However, there are two bloodhounds keeping watch at that end of the mansion, plus I saw what appeared to be shadows of people on the upper floors. None of the windows are open, however. There WAS a cellar though, I doubt thats connected to the mansion. What do you suggest we do?"
Pauline
"You distract the bloodhounds by turning into a fox. Have them chase you, then I'll try to find a way through the oak doors"
Andrew
"No. Thats going to make a shit ton of noise, which will alert the guards, and then we'll eventually be discovered. I won't risk that."
Pauline
*Hu Lang thinks* "I see several options. We silently kill the bloodhounds and the patrolling guards, and enter through the back. We get in through a window, which I can remove silently using my swords. Or we can kill the front guards, and enter through the front. Any way we do this, the patrolling guards need to die."
Andrew
"I agree with the killing the bloodhounds, but how are you going to remove the windows with swords? Smashing them will make too much noise, and besides, there are several people on those floors. If we assume that the headmaster is on the top floor, then we need to find a secure way to sneak in to the top without being spotted by ANYONE. We should take care of the dogs and the guards, then we both can go in as foxes and recon, leaving our equipment in some of the bushes near the doors on both sides. Kill ANYTHING that moves. Or at least, thats what I think should happen."
Pauline
"Well my swords are extremely cold and hot. But I agree with your plan"
Andrew
"So, you take care of the dogs in the back. Ill attempt to take care of the guards at the front. After that, Ill probably try and send a signal of sorts to you, its probably going to be a small flare shooting towards the direction of the tree. Thats the sign to go in. Is that good for a plan?"
Pauline
"Probably not a small flare. Just meet up by the tree. Let's go"

*Hu Lang creeps through the roses, the wind heading towards him. He launches Lunar Crescent, the spinning blade aimed to decapitate both dogs in one line* 

```Lunar Crescent cast. 10 mana used. 115 out of 125 mana```
Andrew
*Arthur put on his armor, but left his backpack and lute at the tree where they chose to set up their base. Sneaking towards the corner of the wall, he cast flame daggers twice, having a total of 8 flaming daggers orbiting his left and right hands. The guards wouldn't be able to take notice, however, because Arthur was hidden behind the corner where the east and the front wall met. Swiftly, he launched all of his daggers at the guards' heads, then dashed close to prepare to follow up with a piercing strike of his sword.* 

``` Daggers of Flame cast twice. 40 mana used. 85/125 mana remaining. ```
Gina
The bloodhounds smell Hu Lang approaching and start let out a single bark before Lunar Crescent drops their heads from their bodies. However you hear a male voice in the distance.
"Did you hear something?"
"Yeah, I think it came from the back"

The daggers that Arthur lets loose pelt the guards' heads as they both let out a quick cry of pain before falling to the ground with the stench of burnt flesh.
Pauline
*Hu sneaks back into the roses, ready to draw his swords.*
Andrew
*Arthur emerges from the shadows, and gets the whiff of burnt human flesh before he begins to stare at the iron gate. He decides not to take any risks, and takes the bodies to the tree, hoping to leave no evidence behind. No blood was visible on the grounds, seeing as it would have been burnt and dried, and changes back into his fox form once he reaches the tree. Leaving his armor and sword, he hops over the wall to see if there were any other guards. In the distance he could hear two guards talk to each other, exclaiming that they heard a noise coming from the back.*

*That must have been Hu,* Arthur began to think. *Those damn dogs, they made a noise!*

*Arthur hoped to himself that Hu had the competence to take care of the guards that were closely approaching. If they were found out, its game over.*
Gina
As the guards reach the back they step back in horror at the sight of the dead bloodhounds. 
"By the gods... John, quickly, you go alert the kingdom guards. There is a violent intruder on the premise. I'll alert everyone else inside" Says one of the guards as you see him pull out a large bell from under his belt. The other guard nods and you see him turn and start to run towards the front. They both seem to be alert and cautious of danger.
Pauline
*As soon as Hu sees the guards, he draws his swords, igniting and freezing some roses. He casts both Solar Flare and Lunar Crescent, each hurtling towards their necks, hoping the projectiles will reach the guards before they can ring the bell.*

```Solar Flare and Lunar Crescent cast, 110/125 mana remaining```
Gina
Your attacks sail through the air, but the one holding the bell sees a bright flash of light as solar flare makes its way toward him. He raises his hand in an attempt to intercept the attack and it cleanly cuts if off leaving a severe burn, however the guard's head is still intact. However, he yells in agony as he reflexively clutches the burnt arm, dropping the bell. 

The other one unfortunately had its back turned, so his head is cleanly cleaved from his neck as his body falls to the ground with a thud. You have at least stopped the guards from altering anyone, but you have certainly left your mark in the area as some of the roses are burnt and there is a lot of blood from the enemies you killed with lunar crescent. You can only hope the robed man is good at cleaning up messes.
Andrew
*Arthur sighs with displeasure. He heard a piercing scream in the night, telling him that Hu didn't take care of the guards silently. He decided to hop back over the fence and get his armor and sword, then returned to the door at the front of the mansion. He decided to wait for a little while longer before entering, and stayed inside the rose bushes. He waited to send the signal, and proceeded to sit in silence as he waited for Hu to take care of the guards.*
Pauline
*As soon as he sees that the guard isn't dead, he rushes towards the live guard, and slashes at him using both swords, ice and fire arcing through the air. For the blood spilling, he could freeze it and prevent it from spreading*
Gina
The guard is already overwhelmed from the pain of the previous attack, leaving him to be easy pickings as you bring both your swords across his defenseless head. He collapses to the ground, now dead.
Andrew
*Arthur notes the silence that ensues after the one of the guard's agonized screams. He takes this to mean that Hu Lang disposed of the guards and the bloodhounds in the back of the mansion, so then assumed that he could fire the signal to enter the mansion now. Carefully picking a spot where no windows could see the signal, Arthur cast and shot four Daggers of Flame once more, aimed towards the skies. His waiting in the bushes had revitalized the Kitsune, so he felt full of energy as of now. After this, he took his sword and slashed open the door to the mansion, and entered. There was no light on the bottom floor; only the top, as he noted. He waited on the inside of the mansion, waited for Hu to get in.*
Pauline
*Hu Lang presses his ice blade into the lock at the oak door for 5 seconds, chilling the lock to -150 degrees. He presses his fire sword to it next, heating it up to 600 degrees. He repeats this process 3 times, finishing with his ice blade, and slashes it again using his fire sword*

*He pushes open the doors, and walks inside*
Gina
You both would enter the mansion around the same time and given how quiet the mansion is, you hear each other's doors bust open.
On Arthur's side as he came from the front he is in the reception room. There is a double staircase leading to the 2nd floor with a massive chandelier hanging from the ceiling. To his left is what he would assume to be a massive walk-in closet for guest to place their coats. To his right would be well decorated room with trophies, seemingly the trophy room. Arthur would hear giggling come from the upper floors.
On Hu's end as he came form the back he would find himself in the kitchen. Hu may or may not be a food expert, but there are many high quality spices and produce lying around. There is a small exit leading to what he could assume to be the dining room given the massive table and how spacious it is. He would also hear the echoes of footsteps nearby.
Pauline
*Hu draws his ice blade, ready to slay anyone he meets.*
Andrew
*Arthur heard laughing coming from the upper floors. The room he appeared to be in was a sort of reception room, featuring a table. Arthur also spotted a double staircase, seemingly leading to the second floor. The giggling was soft, and Arthur assumed that there were guests within the building. To his right was a trophy room, and Arthur opted to take advantage of the lack of people within the bottom floor. He made his way towards the trophy room, and then walked towards the door. He readied his sword in case there was someone within the room, and walked in.*
Gina
As you wait in the kitchen Hu, the footsteps draw closer till they are infront of the kitchen door. It is another guard, and it can be clearly seen on his face that he is terrified. 
"... I could've sworn I heard some screaming. Please let it all be my imagination. I wanna go home already..."

As you enter the trophy room Arthur you see it filled with taxidermy and diplomas and paintings. One of the diplomas is framed very elegantly. Approaching it, you see it reads 'Darius Wellington Cornelius, Headmaster of Silver Academy' at the top. 
There is also a massive portrait in the room of a man, wife, and two children, a son and daughter. They all look elegantly dressed, but you in particular recognize the man's face to match the portrait given to you. You also see a couple of small trophies reading 'Jimmy Cornelius, 1st place in Archery', 'Jimmy Cornelius 1st place in Horse Riding' etc.
Pauline
*Hu Lang swiftly turns, facing the guard. With intent to kill, he stabs his frost blade into the man's neck, hoping to silence him as well as kill him*
Gina
The poor guard is caught completely off guard as he falls to the ground clutching his neck. You see him desperately pull out a locket and attempt to open it as the light quickly fades from his eyes, however he is bleeding too quickly and his body quickly goes limp.
Andrew
*Arthur stares at the portrait of the man. 'Darius Cornelius.' That was the name of his target. Suddenly, everything about this entire job felt more personal than it should have. These people, these guards... They had families. How many of their children would anxiously wait in the middle of the night, waiting for their fathers to come home? Those two guards... They probably had a wife and kids. They were merely doing their jobs as guards, and Arthur had mercilessly slain them on the spot, without any hesitation. Arthur stared at his hands as he held it up to his face. Killing these people were different from killing the cultists; they weren't evil people, they were merely doing their jobs! The Kitsune knew the pain it felt to lose your entire family, and if that was enough to cause him much grief for 6 years. How much pain would it give to the son, the daughter, the wife, if Darius Cornelius were to die tonight? He stared at the portrait, in a sort of contempt manner. He felt ashamed, but realized he could not back out of this now. After all, he had a job to do.*

*However, this time Arthur had made a resolve; a resolve to end this operation without killing more people. He didn't want to have any more grief than he should by the end of the night. Exiting the room, he walked towards the staircase, and silently made his way up.*
Pauline
*Hu walks around, and sees the open door on Arthur's side. He sees Arthur walking up the stairs, and does so as well*
Gina
You both walk up the stairs and are now on the 2nd floor. You do not hear the giggling anymore. However, you hear a door creak open to the right and around the corner you hear the sound of someone walking out. You can see the flicker of a shadow and hear an angry yet young female voice
"Master Cornelius, how long are you going to keep me waiting?! What's taking you so long?!"
Pauline
*Hu Lang darts behind the largest statue he sees, and hides in the shadows. He hopes that master Cornelius will be drawn out by the woman, to make for an easy kill*
Andrew
*Arthur peeks out from the stairway entrance. He sees a young macen girl within the darkness, and decides to wait on until Cornelius were to exit the room he was in, lured by the girl's dialogue. Taking out his sword, his plan was this; he was to take Cornelius hostage swiftly, preferably without any bloodshed. He didn't want to kill the man, but Arthur attempted to maim the headmaster as soon as he came into view. Hu could deal with the girl, Arthur didn't care.*
Gina
As you peeked around the corner you could see it is young blonde water macen dressed loosely in what you assume to be a school uniform. Looking on it more closely it has some sort of Rose emblem around the chest area the reads 'Silver Academy'. She is walking toward your direction and you can see her carrying a candle. She calls out again 
"Master Cornelius? Is that you near the stairs? I thought I heard someone coming up?"

You then hear some steps coming from the left on the 2nd floor around the corner. They sound heavy and you can hear the sound of metal clashing with metal. You a hear a gruff voice respond "Miss Emily, I ask that you wait in your the bedroom for a room. The Headmaster will be with you shortly after he has finished entertaining your friends"
Pauline
*Hu motions to Arthur that he will take care of the girl. He rushes out and lunges towards her, his hand extended in a spear-like shape. He aims his blow to a pressure point in her neck, aiming to knock her unconscious*
Andrew
*Arthur wondered; entertaining? What could that possible mean? Was the headmaster showing some more students some interesting magical concepts or theories? Thats what Arthur guessed was happening. Arthur looked towards Hu, and nodded towards him. He was ready to attack. He had no other choice but to kill the person emitting the gruff voice, lest they get caught. Again, he cast Daggers of Flame twice in both hands, then in the same manner he killed the guards he launched himself towards the voice, launching only four daggers this time, but swiftly slashed his sword in a downwards strike.*

``` Daggers of Flame cast twice. Remaining mana: 85/125 ```
Gina
The girl was visibly upset by the gruff's voice answer. She is a weak girl with no combat experience whatsoever, so Hu would be able to easily knock her out, but not before she lets out a short shrill scream of terror as Hu lunges for her neck. She passes out and falls to the ground with a thud. 
Arthur shoots his four fire daggers at the gruff voice. They all collide, but to his surprise the man remains standing. He appears more well built than the previous guards and is wearing higher quality armor. As a skilled magic user, you could see the man had used some magic to reinforce his body just before the daggers hit. The man quickly pulls out his sword and parrys Arthur's downward strike.
"Intruders?! How did you get past the front gates?!"
Pauline
*Hu Lang draws his two swords, and they become one. He casts Frostburn, sweeping his sword in an upward motion, and a wave of orange and blue snow is sent towards the large man, slowing him*

```Frostburn cast, 105/125 mana remaining```
Andrew
"Heh, you seem tough," Arthur began. "I'm going to have to put a little more effort in taking you out, I suppose."
*Arthur swiftly backflipped away and cast Burn Up! On himself, increasing his gen speed by 0.5, and his speed by 20 mph. Then, with his other hand, he cast Hellfire Blades, causing two large crimson longswords to orbit him, facing downwards. Now, there were four Daggers of Flame cast around his left hand, and 2 longswords circling Arthur. He felt empowered and unstoppable, and then with even greater speed than before, he spun and slashed downwards at the man starting from his left shoulder, then fired his remaining four daggers at the man, while also having one of his Hellfire Blades slash at the man starting from the right shoulder downwards.*

``` Hellfire Blades and Burn Up! Cast. Remaining mana: 27.5/125 ```
Gina
The guard is hit by Hu magic and feels his legs freeze over. He looks visibly frustrated and as he looks up and sees Arthur become a living incarnation of the flame he yells out "Head Master Cornelius! There are intruders! Run for yo-" Before he is slammed again with your four daggers and your long swords slash away at his arms. His armor is now melting into his skin and his arms lay on the ground as they are separated from his shoulder sockets. He falls face down into the snow Hu summoned, screaming in agony.
Pauline
*The snow erupts into 800 degree flame. Hu rushes down the hall, searching for the Headmaster*
Andrew
*Arthur stares down at the man. He was still shrieking in agony, arms now severed from his body, and face onto the snow Hu had summoned. Arthur extinguished the magical flames on the man and on himself, dispersing all of his magic until there were no more flames on his swords, nor his daggers. After all, he didn't want the place to go up in flames. The man, if he had the constitution, would survive this attack only maimed. However, there were still metal fusing and etching itself into the man's skin. Arthur looked down onto the man in contempt, and then knelt down.*
"I didn't want to do this, trust me. I had a job to do, and you were in the way." Arthur said, in a hushed whisper. 
*He then turned towards the hall Hu had run down.*
"Although, would you mind telling me where the headmaster is? I sort of need to know." He asked, audibly louder this time.

*Arthur looked down, however. He saw the snow beneath his feet blow up in flames, but it didn't bother him. However, the guard had already died when Arthur gazed on him again. Arthur, somewhat tired, sat down on one of the nearby walls. If the headmaster was within shouting distance, he'd probably be around here somewhere; maybe even within the room the guard came out of. Arthur sat in silence, regaining his energy.*
Gina
Hu runs around the hall but doesn't find anyone. However he does find a spiral staircase to the side leading to the third floor. That being said, the 800 degree snow that he left to explode the guard has set some of the railings and wall on fire. Arthur is a skilled pyromancer, however he is not able to put out flames that are not his own. 
That being said, you both then hear the sound of a door opening along with the crying and sobbing of young females from up above.
Pauline
*Hu Lang sheaths his fire sword, running towards the flame.* "Go. I'll take care of the fire" *He tried to put out the fire using his cold sword*
Andrew
*Arthur quickly sat up, feeling slightly revitalized. He heard loud crying and sobbing from above, and decided to follow Hu's path leading upstairs to the third floor. He went up the stairs, but also hid behind them. Right now, he had an unlit sword orbiting him, and his basket-hilt sword was in its sheath. Everything was silent again, except, of course, the crying coming from what sounded like girls from the upstairs floors. Behind the stairs, Arthur waited, looking out for people.*
Gina
It takes some time and effort, but Hu successfully puts out the flames before they got out of hand. 
As Arthur waits behinds the stairs he hears an older male voice whispering "Hush girls, we must move quickly. The intruders might already be here. I fear our lives are in danger. You all must head to the library..."
"W-W-What about *Sob* You Master Cornelius?" Whispers one of the girls
"Miss Emily is still down there. As Headmaster I can't leave any of my students in danger. I will go fetch her and quickly meet up with you all in the library"
You then hear a multitude of footsteps walking away from you as the crying gets more distant while another pair of footsteps is walking toward you.
Pauline
*Hu Lang waits behind a statue, positioning the unconscious girl near him. He is ready to draw his ice sword, as he doesn't want to accidentally ignite the headmaster*
Andrew
*Arthur peeks from the stairs. Since he could see very well in the dark, Arthur saw his target slowly approach him. He waited in the shadows for Cornelius to pass, and then with swift brutality, he came up from behind the man and held his sword at his neck.*

"Id like to have a private talk with you," Arthur began. "My employer sent me. It doesn't matter to him whether you live or die; personally, I get paid if I keep you alive. Failure to comply will result in... Hmm. I don't know, but it begins with me slitting your neck open, and then ends with me walking out of here, your body shouldered over my shoulder. Now, what's it going to be, Cornelius? Your life right now is under my control, but it isn't the only one. Those girls. They could be targets if I so desire. I get paid for how many bodies I take out."

*Arthur said the last part as a hollow threat. He didn't want to kill those who didn't stand in his way, but he would harm them if need be, although he would reluctantly.*
Gina
As you expected, Cornelius is now in your grasps, your sword next to your neck. He gulps in fear but slowly opens his mouth to speak 
"I don't know who this employer is, but whatever you are doing, you aren't getting paid enough for it. Do you know who I am? Do you know what you are doing? You are still young, there is still a bright future for you out there. Don't do this. What you are doing here isn't worth your future. If you let me and the children go, you have my word that I never saw you here. If you are doing this because you are desperate for money, just know there are other ways to earn it..."
Cornelius then tries to slowly grab ahold of Arthur's sword and push it away from his neck in a nonthreatening manner if Arthur allows it. 

Meanwhile, both Hu and Arhtur hear another door open and then close. The crying sounds have gotten a lot softer now.
Andrew
*Arthur puts his sword back on Cornelius' neck, applying a tiny amount of force to it, in the hopes of deterring another attempt by Cornelius to push his sword away.*

"I know exactly who you are, Darius Wellington Cornelius. Family of 4, including yourself. It looks you really value your son. Such a shame that he might never see his dad alive again..."

*Arthur slightly let his sword dig into the side of Cornelius' neck, avoiding the middle part of it. He didn't want to kill Cornelius yet, but wanted instead to do the job he was assigned; take out the headmaster. Before that, however, he wanted some stuff of his own.*

"Now you tell me, what valuables are stored within this mansion? And what were you doing, exactly, to those young girls? I heard the man below say you were 'entertaining' them. What could that possibly mean, I wonder?"
Gina
Cornelius is visibly sweating at this point "I-I don't know what you mean. I-I was just giving the students extra lessons. T-There aren't many valuables here either. I don't know what else more you would want, but look, I can pay you double whatever your employer is giving you. Don't have to do any of this shady work, just let me and the children go. Please, I'm begging you."
Andrew
*Arthur stared at Cornelius, disgust in his eyes. He could smell lies coming from the man. Arthur didn't trust his words one bit, and so he had his sword dig in even deeper into his neck, causing Cornelius to slightly bleed.*

"Extra lessons, hmm?" Arthur began. "Mind walking me up to the room where said lessons were held? I am an aspiring mage, after all. Tell me, what exactly were you studying?"
Gina
Cornelius winces in his pain as you dig the sword deeper into his skin. "O-Old works of literature. Why are you so interested, there is nothing that I can teach a mage. Please, let me go. How much do you want? Name your price, I'll pay for it. Just let me and the children go!" He pleads
Andrew
*Arthur walks Cornelius up the stairs. He still held the man at knifepoint, and didn't relax in the slightest. He was ready to slit the mans throat when the time came, but he wanted to know more things first, and also wanted to make some profit off of this hostage situation.*
"First things first, I won't let you go. However, I might take it into consideration once you show me a hefty amount of silver. Silver and gold. What say you? I personally think you should take this offer. My hand might just slip-" *He emphasized this with a slight cut to the side of Cornelius' neck.* "And, who knows? You might find yourself visiting the afterlife when the night is through."
Gina
Cornelius hesitantly walks with you as he doesn't have much of a choice. "L-Look, I can't pay you now, I keep most of my valuables at a bank. I-I can arrange for your payment at a designated location once I go there and retrieve it though. As I said earlier, if you let me go, I won't say anything. There's no need to get violent, both of us can get out of here with what we want"
Pauline
*Hu Lang walks out of the statue and up the stairs with his mask on, and both swords drawn, glowing in the dark hallway. He says* "There's really no way out of here. Your guards are dead, and we're much faster than you are." *He levels a sword at him* "I would suggest unconditional surrender"
Andrew
*Arthur looks down at the man, disappointment in his eyes. He started plotting a way to get to the money.*
"Tell me, Cornelius. Why would I have you go get the money if I could get it myself? Ill tell you what - write a note for me, saying 'I, Darius Wellington Cornelius, gives the Kitsune Arthur Dax permission to withdraw all the moneyand valuables from my bank account.' Add whatever reason to withdraw next, then end it with your own signature. You got it? I dont think you have a choice either way."
Gina
Cornelius is surprised to see Hu appear "There are two of you?" He looks up at Arthur then back to Hu. He lets out a sigh of defeat "Very well, I will write you a note, though I don't know how well your friend here trusts you to split it with him, but that's not my business. But, at the very least I ask that you let the students leave the premise first. There's no need to keep me and the students here. I should be enough of a hostage..."
Pauline
"We have no intention of harming the students. However, they won't leave yet."
Andrew
*Arthur turned towards Hu. He had an idea to force Cornelius to act in compliance with Arthur's demands. He knew that the rest of the girls went off somewhere, hence the sound of crying fading into silence, but there was one student that they had leverage on. The one they knocked out earlier. With a somewhat evil glint in his eye, Arthur spoke to Hu.*

"Hu?" Arthur began. "Could you bring that girl from before up here? I have an idea I wish to try."
Pauline
*Hu Lang brings up the girl he knocked out*
Gina
Corenlius eyes are filled with fear as he sees Hu bring up Miss Emily. "My god, what have you done to her?! No, what are you going to do with her?! Just let her go, I don't see how she has any role in this!" He says frantically
Pauline
"Don't worry. She's just knocked out"
Andrew
*Arthur turned towards the girl. After gazing at her, he turned back to Cornelius.*
"Lets head to your office. You can write the note there. If not..." 
*Arthur casts Burn Up! On Emily. He controlled the flames so that the flames wouldnt burn Miss Emily, and kept the heat low enough so the strength bopst wouldnt be as major as it was to himself. The temperature of the fire being about 160 degrees fahrenheit; as of right now, the fire wouldnt harm the girl, but Arthur wanted to give the illusion that she was being set on fire.*
"This young, young life will go up in flames."
Pauline
*Hu Lang pokes the headmaster, motioning him to move. He whispers to Arthur* "Make sure to not mention my name. I run a school as well" *When the headmaster is out of range*
Gina
Cornelius looks in horror as Miss Emily catches on fire and tears swell up in his eyes. He then takes a deep breath and grits his teeth in anger "...You're all going to pay for this you know. It may not be tomorrow, or even the day after that, but you monsters will pay for this. I know your kind. You're just going to drain me every single thing you can, using the girls as sacrifices, and at the end, you're still going to kill us all. To that I say, damn both of your bloods. I may not be able to save the girls' or my lives, but I won't give you the satisfaction of taking my wealth also. At least that way I can ensure my family can live well off without me..."
Pauline
"If you do as we say, they all live. You probably have enough contacts to live decently"
Gina
"I'm no fool. You're going to kill us regardless. You said you killed all my guards, that is enough evidence to show murder is a convenient option for you..." He growls
Andrew
*Arthur snapped his fingers. The fire that had set Emily on fire been extinguished. Cornelius was still being held at knifepoint by Arthur, but Arthur began to get pissed. He felt like he made a stupid move trying to excercise his power, so he really got upset. He threw Cornelius to the ground with a lot of force, pressed his knee onto the mans chest, and sheathed his sword.* 

"Cornelius, Cornelius. You think your family is safe? DO YOU?!" Arthur yelled. "The way things are going right now, Ill make sure that Im going to track them down and personally kill every last one of them. Youve cheated me out of gaining a shit load of money, sure. But at what fucking cost? Your family? Keep this attitude up, and the Cornelius bloodline might find themselves on the way to extinction. I hold grudges, and Im a man of my word. Do you really want to salvage the last of your pride by saying this? Because I personally wont stop hunting down the remnants if your family, **Darius.**" *Arthur paused for a moment, hoping to find more ways to exploit the man's love for his family.* 

"I'd say, when I looked at your trophy room, I saw multiple trophies of your boy, Jimmy. You must be a really proud father, eh? I assume he goes to your school, seeing thats what all principals of schools do; they have their children attend their schools. I really dont know, Cornelius. I wonder what would happen if, one day, Jimmy were to suddenly wind up... Dead?"

*Arthur didnt like making this threat, but his anger clouded his judgement. Right now, he really felt the urge to murder someone just in spite of Cornelius' resistance.*
Gina
Cornelius has the wind knocked out of him as he is thrown to ground with Arthur's knee on his chest, and starts coughing. He simply looks at you anger and the anger only continues to build up as you mention his family. The moment you mention his son Jimmy, there is an inferno blazing in his eyes and his face is red from anger as he lunges at you "DON"T YOU EVER DARE THINK ABOUT TOUCHING MY BOY!!!"
Andrew
*Arthur slams his fist into Cornelius' chest, with a load of force behind it. He smirks with cruel happiness, and presses his knee even harder on Cornelius' chest.*

"I've seemed to have struck a nerve, havent I? What if I did, hypothetically, 'touch your boy?' What would you do? Oh thats right, Darius, you cant do anything when youre dead, can you?"
Gina
Cornelius starts coughing again, but the anger has not diminished from his eyes "Mark my words Arthur Dax, I swear on the name of Darius Wellington Cornelius, that even if you kill me I will haunt you even after death! And if you so much as touch my family, I will drag your soul to the depths of the Arcane Sea!" And he then spits at your face
