It had been some time since the Bount Leader had actually got some form of "time off" since she was operating on her own. Away from the Mod Soul Taka and Luke, Aura had kept herself busy formulating, and creating what she was going to have the Bounts do to better meld them into society. Well, it was actually to have society itself be prepared for the Bounts coming out of the shadows, living as they pleased in the light of day. Aura had to lay much of the ground work with those Bounts who were capable of fighting, who were strong enough to lead the other Bounts from where they first started off. The only other Bounts that were capable of doing that for the time being were both Leon, who worked for Uzaki Enterprises, and Eris, who served as the secondary brain for Aura's operations.
All of it began back when Taka gave the Bounts the stronghold that served as a staging ground to free Aura from her curse. A bunker that now serves as a means to receive a variety of customers and cliental that operate in the underworld of Karakura. "Ms Kyuketsuki. We have been expecting you. Please, this way." said the lady Aid escorting the Bount through the corporate lobby. Flicking her straying bangs away from her face Aura followed with her Attendants. The clacking of her heels echoed off the marble flooring, and down the open space of filled with columns and Humans that went about their business. The very scene that her blood colored eyes took in reflected of how her club was starting off, being filled with curious Humans that wanted to see what the atmosphere was like. After that, word of their club spread quickly to the party folks, or to those that were looking for something that they considered "hip."
Business operations were going as smoothly as she could hope with some hiccups here and there. Aura only knew of the business side of things as she did follow Taka closely. She picked up a lot of information and vendors that she could buy from, so the connections were there while the Bounts that came helped to bring the business to life. Them, and with the help of a little hypnosis too of the Humans that knew construction. Once the business settled the Bounts went about to draw in the more questionable crowd, meaning the criminals. The lower levels of the club housed many different "sensual" services that anyone could take part of so long as they were willing to pay for it. Here, several Bounts were able to use their abilities to gather information, and place more subjects under their hypnotic influence.
The elevator doors chimed open just for the group to enter the small cubicle before setting off to the upper floors ahead of them. It was thanks to the criminal element that the Bounts began receiving more resources than they knew what to do with. All of it from that point was where the Bounts influence began to spread like wild fire taking over one group of thugs and criminals after another. Mental suggestions and orders were implanted into the Humans to slowly gather the others like themselves to only have the same be done onto them. One after another the criminal element was being brought under Bount control, and so did their connections. The Police, the Drug Trade, Prostitution, etc, so much of their information was at her finger tips, even climbing up to those in political scandals in Karakura. It was truly extraordinary of what thugs could do if they had actually operated together in a suitable fashion rather than butting heads.
This was the issue with the Human race that has long been going on since the dawn of time. From what Eris spoke of her own experiences, Humans would always attempt to seize power for themselves, taking from others what they do not have. A lust for power, and an never ending greed to obtain more and more as they become unsatisfied with what they already have. And from Leon, such greed and lust could lead to very dangerous outcomes. All the more reason why someone had to take control, and put them to good use. The Bounts were moving around to help spread the fear to those who would do wrong onto others, forcing them to band together, and forcibly bring them into the fold of the Bounts. Slowly, but surely, they would fall into the hands of the Bounts without knowing, and help their influence grow. So much for the need of heroes.
Aura can't say that all was perfect since there were variables and elements that she couldn't control, or forsee coming. They usually poked their heads around in some way or another, often in places that the Bount couldn't see. All the more reason why all such information immediately is directed to Aura, regardless of how small it is. If Aura didn' hear about it, then surely Eris would inform her about it. The elevator shuttered for a moment before the chime returned once more. Doors parting ways gave the small group the sight to the wall of glass that separated the outside world from the interior of the building, shading it from the brightness of the mid-day glare out there. A sudden breeze from the building's AC brushed against the sides of the Bounts jet black hair as the group entered the hallway. All of their activities thus far have caught the eyes of several individuals of the Police force due to their sudden shift in behavior, and Aura's sudden rise to in stature, yet unable to connect her to the criminals on a visual aspect.
These were some of the nuisances that were beginning to poke around at her business despite the lack of connection beyond being customers to her club, in which she would guess would make them a little anxious. But she couldn't think about that now considering that she had to continue to grow her influence to ensure that it was secured in this region. So, in order to do so she had to take over one of the regional trading companies that was in league with one of the members of the Yakuza in Karakura. So, this day was about meeting this man, and once she was able to do so Aura would be able to seize control. This was the plan.
