Even with the information out in the open, the trouble the five boys plus James went through to get the proof that rich people weren't just purposely keeping the poor in poverty but they were enslaving and using them for entertainment purpose.
Despite all of this, the country was divided into two factions. This caused unrest amongst citizens, those who defended these notions were met with violence, something none of them had taken into consideration.
"You'd think this would unite them more with a common enemy." Ishaan shared his thoughts.
The mood in the room was sour, as news after news reported various violent outbursts, luckily there were no reports that anybody was fatally harmed.
"I guess we should've expected this much." Nikolai sighed, throwing himself down on a sofa.
"It pisses me off, we've risked so much and lost some," Kiro said his head turning to Hiro as he said. "They're like loyal dogs, happy for scraps and would bite anybody that goes against their masters." He finished, feeling rage instead of disappointment.
"That's a really good analogy, but how do we fix this?" Felix asked seriously.
"We can't, this needs to happen. Change comes at a cost, always. There are always those who will resist change no matter the facts, they'll come around at the end, we just need to brave the oncoming storms." James advised.
Everyone nodded in agreement. There was nothing that could be done by them, they've done everything to let them know what was going on within their society, it was up to them what they did with that information.
Their next goal was the mine, but to exterminate the current status quo they also needed countermeasures in place, to replace the old, otherwise the cycle would just repeat itself with new people in charge. It was too much for young men like them but they were content in carrying the burden on their shoulders, as long as they had each other.
"By the way Hiro, what are we gonna do with him?" Kiro asked, unsure if this was the right time to bring it up.
"My dad you mean? I'd like for him to be buried on our estate." He said absentmindedly.
"What are we gonna tell your mum?"
"Sir don't please leave." He said between sobs.
"Don't worry kid, I'll visit now and again, I have school but if you want to see more of me listen to Lil and Zak, and work on your school work." Kiro didn't know what to do, this strange kid had taken a very deep liking to him.
"Sir..." He bit his lip trying to hold back tears that refused to be silenced.
Kiro ruffled his hair, "I promise I'll come visit, maybe with a few toys if you behave?"
He nodded, the lump in his throat didn't allow him any more words. He watched painfully as the men walked out of the gate and got into a car that waited for them on the other side.
President Scott had hired a car for them with the body. The ride back to the upper district was a very sad and quiet one. Hiro kept looking at the dead body as if it would spring back to life, but at least he wasn't crying anymore.
"I don't think I can lie to her, can you do it instead?" He said barely a whispered.
His mother was already informed that Hiro was coming so she was already outside when they pulled up.
"Good day Mrs. Misaki," Kiro said seriously. "I'm afraid we have very bad news."
"No, not Yuri." She was already losing feeling on her legs, she couldn't guess anyone else if Hiro and Isao were here, only Yuri came to her mind.
"I'm afraid—"
"It's dad, mum." Hiro said cutting off Kiro.
