Cook Up Some Net Worth [Akira]
Wed Nov 22, 2023 3:24 pm
SUMANA
Amazing they said when Sumana once again made a profit through clever means to exploit the resort. Ever since Safira had listened to her and allowed her to make a resort on this barren crater that she'd acquired in a quick business trade, the arrancar had done nothing but show an increase in profit every year. It was all about taking advantage of the patrons in subtle ways, tempting them to send and really enjoy their vacation but it wasn't enough.
It never was for her.
She would always engage in more lucrative and dirty business under the table, keep acquiring wealth like a dragon creating a hoard of treasure for itself. Sumana would not surrender that treasure easily but in her dirty dealings there was word of a new guy on the block. Someone new to exploit? She'd called one of her slaves - a poor soul that had become indebt to her and so she offered a compromise for them to pay off the debt - to send an invitation and give her an opportunity to play a game.
Maybe he would offer her something of value, or maybe it'd be a flunk but she'd still try to take advantage of him regardless to continue to increase her net worth. Those were the idle thoughts occupying her mind as she flipped the casino chip over her fingers out of habit in the luxurious penthouse lounge that would be the scene of there dealings.

R
Ah Brazil.
It looked better.
Most likely ran better since that unfortunate incident.
He had gotten word from a jittery individual that someone of influence was interested, apparently that lure was enough to get a tug. The theatrical gentleman graciously accepted, decidingly asking for their employers name and location though prior to leaving for such a place, if it was granted at least, Akira would have done a rather extensive look into Toglestan files of anything he should be aware of. It was a dangerous place ever since the disaster, more so Brazil had always been known for being a little less than safe for most that traversed streets of slums. The dense forestry around able to conceal many, once upon a time that is.
Once that was concluded though, Akira sat comfortably within the confines of a black sadan, being driven to the penthouse of luxury and wealth. A soft whistle of splendor leaving the gigais lips that offered nothing but a human signature, coming to step out with a pair of shades and a cane that he rested upon. It was then a left hand raised to the driver who aimed to get out. It was unwise to act like one come could here with a sense of ownership, narcissism broke too many bridges in this business. The long black hair flowing beyond shoulder length, as a tailored suit strapped to his form, R. That was the alias. A confident stature and charming smile, a pair of hazel eyes that were concealing gold through the usage of lenses.
"Stay. I doubt your presence would be welcome. Oh. Anything wearing clothing that reveals the skin, don’t talk to.”
The man cackled a little, embracing the theatrical persona and began an approach to see if anyone was there to meet and gesture him into the confines of their meeting place. It was exciting. He was very interested to see the type of individual that awaited his person.

SUMANA
Eyes weren't that interested. For any onlooker she might've been lost in her own little world and seeing everything else through her peripherals but that was far from the case with her. Sumana had already began to evalute the individual that appeared in her pesquisa before turning to look at him. Poser was the first thing that came to mind.
He was putting up a front, that much was clear to her but the scope was not something she'd determine with a mere glance. It was easy to gauge that off instinct but what was a front and what wasn't required more analysis. Did he dress so well because he was trying to put up the appearance of a well experienced businessman for a newbie on the block? Was this entire character a lie to be picked apart?
No, something was off, but finer details remained mysterious.
"I'm Sumana, and you're R. Right? What's with the fake name? You an upstanding member of society with a dark side or something?"
She immediately poked to test his poker face against her own. Well, for the moment she had nothing better to do but judge the character she wanted to evaluate. He had yet to offer any insights as to what valuables he could try to peddle - and how much of that she could get for the best price.

So it began.
R offered an idle chuckle from Sumana’s outright inquiry, off the bat huh? It felt like a test and anyone engaging in business would no doubt wish to see the reliability of their partner in crime. The cane tapped into the ground, indicating an advance as his gaze scoped for any strong booze, scotch, whiskey, anything that may cause a slight burn to the throat. She was presented with a confident yet slouched posture, a slight indication to the patience of the man.
"Pleasure is mine, Miss Sumana, I’m a little more subtle than that, you see in our society, a suit creates a feeling of refinement. The name? Who doesn’t love a little bit of mystery. It’s easy to seize an opportunity with an alias like this should a sniffer dog come rutting about. People over complicate things, you know? Is it a secret? Is it an epic, cryptic message?”
He stated with a little flare and wave of the left hand, a theatrical look though no indication of a genuine lie. To him? Half truth. R did stand for something but nothing anybody would figure for the time being, only the Gotei might have a glimmer of hope. The lips pursed with curiosity glinting behind the eye, inspecting the ovulance of the room.
"Which of them caught your ear? Was it my spontaneous arrival on the scene of the underworld? Dashing good looks? Another opportunity to sink some teeth into? If we are being candid and all.”

SUMANA
"You're information. Dealing with information is a risky business, if it's not reliable then you're in debt. If that would be the case, I'd have no trouble sinking my teeth into you however I please."
Sumana continued as her eyes looked over the golden frame of her shades to stare daggers at him. It was a little warning that he was dealing with an arrancar but she could also guess this wasn't a run of the mill human. Very few of them ever got this far in the underworld now that it was populated by souls and humans that had tangible power to them. It was just risky.
"So what information do you specialise in, or am I supposed to spin the roulette all day with guesses to entertain your performance, eh?"

"Seeing you perform for me wouldn’t be such a bad idea?”
He offered a wiggle of the brow though chuckled softly, shifting a bit to look out any windows that may offer odd sights or insight into anything of importance before exhaling softly. Then it came. What information did he specialize in? R decided to switch and twist his body, each hand out in a welcoming gesture.
"Extra worldly. The primary organisations of both Soul Society and the Vandenreich, alongside other oddities which lurk in the four corners of our world. Our world has many profitable opportunities, though such things are…Hampered…By the oversight of Soul Society and the Vandenreich. In this instance, a hotspot known for Arrancar meddling like Brazil can’t expand without it suffering ire. That is where I come in. I calculate, acquire and seize profitable opportunities.”

SUMANA
"I'm doing quite well for myself though. Unlike a hollow, I'm capable of human functions such as exploiting humans in the same way they've exploited themselves for thousands of years. I could only imagine any confrontation to be had over it is either philosophical or out of spite that I am able in possession of all this capital that they want."
Sumana summarised her thoughts to his point. She was a predatory yes but she had evolved past the phase of devouring souls and instead opting to turn them into products. She used human business partners to ensure that any further business ventures outside of Brazil could be in the "possession" of humans that were indebted to her.
Not that she needed to go into depth about her own approach to the world's economy and handling Brazil. There were just some pleasures, some trades, and some ventures which could not be conducted here which is why she was so favourably viewed by her neighbours in the surrounding countries which enjoyed their own economies profitting from her assistance.
It all just came back to her though.
"But I do hate the Soul Society. I hate things which are out of my reach."
It made her want them all the more to be told she couldn't have them. It appealed to her avarice.
"So it's information on Soul Society that you offer, the Vandenreich, or both?"
She pressed for him to explain through his theatrics.

"Actually my offer is something of a partnership. The Soul Society, Vandenreich included in that transaction but an opportunity has come to my attention. The information I hold allows a grand expansion effort for both my own influence and by proxy most of your…Practices…Shall we call them. I’ll take a guess and say that your economic sphere of influence may be limited to this side of the hemisphere with harsh competitors in America? Taking into account recent developments.”
R was candid, straightforward and confident regarding his analysis of America. It had suffered but it was a constantly tumultuous country that held much in the guise of financial power, the issue was so many had their grubby hands in that pie, for things to work fluidly. Well. That is an issue in itself. Who could predict the next large effect of America or its neighbours? Though truth be told to himself, it was only theory that whilst Brazil in his mind offer benefits to neighouring, far poorer countries. That access became a little limited.
"My offer is an expansion onto a global scale, a safe haven should the Resort ever come under true threat from Vandenreich or Soul Society. The gateway to the entire eastern hemisphere. My interest and this is for free, is China.”
It was at this point R offered an idle gesture around, enjoying the view.
"So. Shall we have a drink and discuss expansion?”

SUMANA
"China?"
Sumana noticed that he circumvented her piqued interest in Soul Society, which meant that he was incapable of offering anything useful in relation to it, or that it had become secondary to his own ambitions which he laid bare.
"Partnership... I don't know if I'd say you have the reputation or clout to secure a partnership with me just yet."
It was more than that though. He wasn't indebted to her yet and only one individual lorded over her which she dealt with in a "partnership" that carried a sense of loyalty towards the other arrancar. Sumana did not consider her peers as anything more than Safira's capital - though she had to concede that it also meant she was capital in her own peculiar way.
"My security is in my product. I'm not concerned about the Vandenreich or the Soul Society from attacking this resort due to the damage it would do to the large number of souls that exist here at any given time. It's a bit reckless to launch an attack for a few arrancar, no? It doesn't make sense for the economic model of either group."
It was arrogant but a deduction made off evaluating the situation as it was. Her confidence was in her own knowledge, but while that might seem that she was picking apart R's proposition to show him that it was worthless. Sumana was just playing her cards under her poker face, she could not say no to having it for the sake of having it, but she didn't show him that part of her. She had no intention of showing him that either.
She'd come out the winner of whatever business arrangements they made.

She was good.
The truth is a game like this held cards to play, a deck of which this individual had far more than he did. The safety of the resort, a clear contentment for their current income, not to say she wasn’t lying when it came to the fact Soul Society was disinclined to level a city full of souls, yet there was a few nuggets of information which could alter that perspective. A soft tsk flowed through teeth. Each shoulder raising an indication of submission from the partnership, though that was always a business plan, go aggressive and if they agree. Marvelous. If not? Segment it until a deal of value was made.
"They say come out the gate swinging in this business, though I have to concede your comfortable station could create that idea. You aren't taking into account that Soul Society needn’t cause a big scene, the Gotei always has a division for covert operations. Though luckily this place isn’t too high. Yet.”
R let that linger, truthfully he didn’t have insight into the Stealth Division but after Africa was concluded. The World of the living would be a priority, one that they’d seek to extinguish with vigor.
"When Africa is sorted though, they’ll turn their gaze right here. A business has to think of the future. I get a partnership isn’t on the table though so I shall merely provide my request, an agreement of some form. I require manpower and those who are too afraid to run their lips, in exchange I can offer intelligence about the Soul Society.”
Then did he move into the inner jacket, waddling around an envelope.
"If you are pondering why I am so brazen in my ambition. The Soul Society is currently on lockdown, numbers have plummeted and their resources have been henceforth diverted to internal affairs. Who did it and as for the why I could go into a little later should this arrangement be agreeable. Statistics for you.”
He then went to slide it on her armchair.
