A small smile formed on her lips as the godfather gave her approval of the nickname she chose. Kasumi half expected them to ask what she meant but it appeared that she didn't need to. Once the godfather acknowledged the need to move on to the address in question, the self-styled detective would once more lead the way to the perfume shop.
Along the way, the men who she had sent ahead to confirm the shop and the mage in question contacted them via radio. Apparently Mr Diamond had been seen making his rounds in the area the last few weeks offering his perfumes for sale. One of the local populace had even confirmed his presence near the shop in question. They also informed her that in order to promote his shop even further he had even sent his female employees to offer free samples of the perfume he's selling so as to attract more customers. A few samples had been secured but a quick investigation revealed it was not harmful, at least not in an immediate or direct way. They would need to send it to the lab for more detailed analysis however.
"Hm, I would have thought the perfume he sold was essential to his plan...perhaps the shop is just a front after all?"
The question cause her to crease her brow slightly but her pace did not slow down as they entered the market. Here, various shops have sprung out and offered all sorts of products either produced locally or bought from neighboring settlements. And though some of the products offered do attract her attention, the desire to see the mystery reached a conclusion overwhelmed any impulse purchase she felt while navigating through the crowd.

Briefly, the duo learned several ambiguously important pieces of information. One of those revelations was that the man tried to promote his product, and another pertained to the lack of insidious properties behind the concoction. Raising an eyebrow, she made her suspicion clear. While chasing after the true background through the perfume could be a dead end, she was confident she could at least verify whether it was or not.
”Two options are on the table; at least, these are the ones I have in mind personally. We get a sample of the product and we use my magic to analyze it to its core, saving us the trouble of going through a lab. The second or simultaneous option is to take one of these associates into custody and rip the information out of them,” Justice asserted, surveying the environment around her.
Given their location, she assumed the pair was on their way to finding one of the associated vendors. Since she ran the town, she was not afraid to make a scene if she needed to. The only problem was tipping off those relevant to the malicious plan.

Justice made a proposal to analyzed the perfume personally, once which Kasumi was more than eager to indulge in as her own magic was a bit lacking in that regard. The second proposal she regarded with caution, as the their target had shown prowess in charm magic by planting a subtle suggestion on the boy earlier.
"I'm all for it Anego. The more we knew about our target, the more prepared we would be in whatever he may have up his sleeve."
Thanks to the descriptions given by their men it wasn't too hard for them track down the female employees under Diamond's employment. Unlike most vendors, they lacked a proper stall to themselves so it was difficult to spot them at first. They did however possessed a violet flower on their dress allowing for easy identification. Once they had spotted one, Kasumi would make her way towards the girl as quick as she without arousing suspicion. Sure enough, the employee flagged them down to offer the tiny glass bottle of perfume containing a purple liquid inside.
"Hello Misses~ Would you like to have a free sample of our perfume? I assure you, the fragrance is quite breathtaking. And of course we only used all natural ingredients."
Should Justice study the bottle with her analysis magic closely, she would notice that the perfume itself contained a small trace of hallucinogen. Said agent were actually properties of the flowers essence involved in the making of the perfume. A mere whiff of the smell was enough to render one suggestible even to the weakest of suggestion, amplifying the effect of charm spell against them.

Kasumi assented to the idea of analyzing the perfume, and that boded well in Justice’s mind. The faster the duo could find the underlying cause of the situation; the faster retribution could be cast upon the criminal scum infiltrating Shale Town. Consequentially, the Godfather did not want to waste any time.
Eventually, the pair spotted the vendors in question. Justice’s eyes were drawn to the telling violet flowers worn on their dresses. With the type of accessory being a symbol associated with fragrance, she put two and two together to identify them as the people tasked with ferrying off the merchandise.
”Mmm,” Justice said in response to the women, taking a bottle of perfume when provided with it. The natural ingredients buzzword was not the lone rotten stench wafting from the container. In addition, she ascertained the small hallucinogenic laced throughout it. Subtle, but no match for the Godfather when it came to analysis. The blonde handed it to Kasumi.
Don’t inhale it, it’s spiked with a suggestion-based hallucinogen. Whoever’s selling this is bad news. I presume people voluntarily disappeared into the night because of this suggestion, Justice communed to Kasumi by way of telepathy.

With the godfather focusing on the perfume herself, she decided to ask the employee about the perfume in question. Apparently, the essence were extracted from a magical flower that blooms in Adakite Island. Claims about it's therapeutic effects were made and how it can even be used for aromatheraphy.
The employee in question did not seem to possess any magical capabilities of any sort. It would be more than easy to subdue her right here,though she do not have the ability to peer into her mind for any suggestions like her partner would. There was also a possibility that she was completely innocent as well, charmed completely by Diamond's demeanor. Just how many of this products were shipped offered throughout the city?
As her anego had kindly inform her of the existence of hallucinogen in the perfume, she decided against taking a whiff herself. Instead she would grab the employee's hand and put her in armlock, removing the bag of perfume she was carrying from her and handing it over to the godfather. Of course, the woman in question protested and squirm against her armlock but she was not able to escape her hold.
"Wh-what's the meaning of this?"
"Apologies but I believe we have to take you into custody Ma'am. We believe Richard Diamond is behind the recent missing incident and we can't have you offering his products to everyone in this town." Kasumi replied though in the corner of her eyes, she would check if the godfather would approve of this course of action or not, should it be the latter she would relax her grip on the woman slightly to release her.

The Godfather remained in place while she watched Kasumi spring into action. With the latter putting the vendor in an armlock, she did not have to lift a finger. Though the woman protested, struggling against the violet-haired woman was a futile effort. A smirk emerged on her lips while she watched and took a step closer to the vendor in question.
“Ya’ll gone and made a real fuckin’ mess, ain’t ya? Shit, we got an apocalypse on our hands and you goin’ around pawnin’ off mind control perfume, I’ll be damned…” Anniken laughed, reaching forward with her hand and squeezing the woman’s jaw with her forefinger and thumb.
As she studied her, she used her ability to ascertain whether there was anything influencing her. Additionally, she pried into her mind to witness past events pertaining to her association with Diamond.
“Thang is, I don’t like people messin’ with my shit. If I decipher that you’ve been attackin’ MY town, oh boy, sometimes I wonder if ya’ll too blind to see all them traitors I put up for display outside ‘a Asgard, impaled on stakes…”

"N-no please, I don't know what you're talking about!!"
The girl squirmed harder against her grasp yet not matter how much she squirmed, her efforts were futile. She looked around in panic as the local shoppers formed a crowd around her, mostly curious to see what the ruckus were about. With her jaw held firmly by AJ, she was unable to resist the wizard before her from casting her magic and studied her past. AJ would find that she was indeed as innocent as she claimed, being told to sell the perfume for the crowd. But once again, she would find a subtle suggestion within the woman's mind so as to make noise as much as possible. While the suggestion itself appears rather harmless, AJ should be able to identify that the woman was essentially a makeshift alarm to inform others in the area that there are investigators directly on Diamond's trail.
In fact, her eyes would make contact with one of the local shopper who seem to be curious before turning around in the direction of Diamond's shop and began to hurry his way there. As for Kasumi herself, she didn't seem to notice him at all as her attention appeared to be focused on restraining the woman and the Godfather.
"What's the verdict Anego?"

It was as she predicted. With knowledge that the woman was under influence, she snapped her fingers and released her from the command. However, there were more important things going on around her. Rather than using her eyes to detect the anomaly, she tapped into her vampirism to pay attention to what was transpiring behind them.
Senses honed to hearing the flow of blood, the quickened heartbeat and hurried pacing tipped the Godfather off. Turning an attentive eye towards the hurried source, she replied to Kasumi while she advanced in that direction.
”There.”
Anniken owed the lack of context to the hurry she was in. In a blur of motion, she appeared in front of the hurried individual. A backhand in his direction, she would floor him and render whoever it was unconscious in that instant should the person not have a gargantuan amount of mitigative abilities. Manifesting twin revolvers in her grip, she made her way into the establishment, sensing around for the flow of blood.
”Can’t hide from me, partner. Why don’t ya just give it up ‘for I reduce ya to atoms?”

The hand struck the curious shopper and he fell on the floor, his hood uncovered revealing to be Richard Diamond himself. Though his face bore a slight bruise from the blow, his skind had already began to mend though not as fast as a vampire would. His eyes reflected similar vampiric look as hers though his teeth seems completely human. Should the godfather use her scanning magic she would find that he was a dhampire, a child born from the union between a human and a vampire. Upon hearing the threat directed at him, he simply smirked.
"You do that and you can kiss those missing people you're desperately looking for goodbye."
Hearing that, Kassie would let go of the woman she had held earlier, her jaw and fists clenched. A moral dilemma had been presented to them that forced the duo to choose between the life of one criminal and the life of the missing people. As there was no way for her to check whether those missing people were still alive, she was tempted to take the chances with Richard. As if sensing her determination to do whatever it takes to stop him, he turned towards her direction.
"I wouldn't do anything if I were you either. You sent those men to retrieve some of my free perfume yes? I wonder if any of them were warned on the effects of sniffing them beforehand."

Fleet as lightning, Justice’s hand tore through the atmosphere and towards the man’s throat. An arrow slicing through the sound barrier through the sheer speed she assumed, a sound akin to thunder ensued and blasted away the windows of the building surrounding them. A hail of glass skewered the streets, torrential winds wreathed around her from the force behind her motion. Gripping his throat, the Godfather would slam the man into the adjacent wall. Knowing that he was capable of regenerating, she kept him in the limbo state by continuously applying enough pressure to compress his trachea into sticky gunk.
”Watch your tone, halfbreed. Does an insect like you believe that I, a true vampire with God status, would have her own Compulsion usurped by the likes of you?”
Anger. That was what manifested around her in its purest form—and the entire city would feel it. The Godfather was a title that had two intrinsic meanings to it; one referred to the status known traditionally to stem from Mafia organizations such as her own, and the latter referred to the divine blood inherent to her family. Not only was AJ the Godfather, but she was the God-Queen of Alakitasia. Those who incited her wrath were either unlucky or fools, and she intended to let the individual before her learn the hard way. For the sheer volume of untamed power, both holy and unholy, flaring from her was enough in imposing a feeling on the expansive Shale Town of weighing three times the amount each inhabitant usually did.
As much as she wanted to atomize the worm before her using her vast selection if maladies or outright destructive onslaughts, she needed the man alive for awhile longer. Not before living up to her namesake and providing the karmic retribution she desired. The Godfather’s eyes were overtaken by blacks and reds while she bore her gaze into his skull, leaning closer while she cleaved through his psyche with her stare.
Channeling her raw magic into his body, she emphasized the carotid veins along his neck, causing them to glow while radiant, holy magic would burn the dhampir from the inside. No amount of negligence to pain would deter her from causing agony by providing a vampire’s exact weakness, though she kept him in limbo instead of outright reducing him to ash. The fury of the damned housed within her eyes, then pain would not cease—and while she did it, she drove her own vampiric Compulsion deep into his mind.
”You want to do whatever I say, don’t you?”
After all, she was a vampire, too. A full vampire, and one with a freakish amount of divine might. This was the most obvious and quickest way of going about it, one that did not even borrow specifics from her pilfered magic types, and instead was just the barebones, evident capabilities of her race. She doubted the man was aware of that, hence his folly in providing her with the details she needed to know and his unwillingness to accept his fate. It was almost humorous; she thought she would have needed to use a variety of different spells to save these people, and yet all she needed to do was drive a javelin of his own medicine through his grey matter using the most famous capabilities of their partially shared race.
After finding the mark, she learned that it was no coincidence. There were no profound mysteries behind it. From the looks of things, it was just another abomination who disgraced her race through living up to their ghoulish expectations. Perhaps it truly was a grand mystery she had yet to fully unravel, but she trivialized it because of the entity who sat near the end. And she wanted to destroy him—she wanted to make him suffer.
”How does it feel, you sick fuck? The puppeteer becomes the puppet, what a shit existence you’re going to live.”
