Cobreo threw his cell phone out the window of his stretch hover and poured himself a glass of champagne. If he had to rad one more blurb about that damned vigilante, he was going to return to killing for sport. It meant the game was getting sloppy. These idiots were dropping like flies. How was it hard to lose your pulse when you had this kind of money? This kind of power? The more flies dropping, the easier it is to spot the bees. Cobreo liked to think of himself as a hornet.
The stretch hover glided south down Verbond Boulevard. Sitting in silence he watched the people go by. Nobody could see him, but every now and again someone pointed at the stretch hover; usually a young girl swift to text everyone about who she just saw out on the town. The vehicle itself was liquid black and would have been relatively inconspicuous... save the glowing blue stone crest anchored on the very front and it's shape in entirety. Brutalism was a word Cobreo decided he liked. The style of architecture was imposing and bold, with a solid stature that dared you to even try knocking it down. This was entirely relatable to the young boss. The style was adapted throughout every aspect of his life from that point forward, from the blocky yet streamlined shapes of his custom cars, the hotels he built throughout the Multiverse, all the way to the threading of the fabrics he wore.
Taking a sip of his champagne Cobreo psionically tuned the radio to play
one of his favorite songs. In his minds eye he connected to the network most of the planet was connected to, but had to access through device. Not Cobreo. He searched feeds for mention of the vigilante and was happy to find the network seemed to be refocusing. It's too bad everyone was still spreading the photos of Dominique's corpse. A fire burned in his gut every time one floated through his minds eye.
There goes another one. Cobreo squeezed his eyes shut. For a moment his face twisted in anguish. Then, he completely relaxed. The young boss downed his champagne as the vehicle pulled up to his appointment at the tallest building in the city; Hotigan Enterprises Executive Building. After a deep breath he flicked the door open. Two beautiful young women received him, one on either arm, and escorted him through towering black glass doors and into the building.
Six more liquid black hovers surrounded the scene, with twelve protective agents posted throughout. Cobreo wasn't stupid, and was wearing his best shock absorbent survival undergarments beneath his designer suit. Though it wasn't condoned, the public seemed to support the vigilante in his moves to kill off the string pullers of Kanderdam. If he played the game right, nobody would ever suspect he was one of them. On the other hand...
The undergarments weren't very comfortable, but he was no stupid fly.
