ALL NOVEL Chapter 116: 113
Miranda Lawson POV (Symkaria)
Although Julian gave the OK to begin with investing into Symkaria he never really specified how. Those details were left up to me decided. I believe that the only reason that he decided to develop here instead of elsewhere was to get into Silvija Sablinova's pants. Fortunately this was a optimal choice of expansion into European markets. One of few benefits of not being a publicly trading company is not answering to investors when making decisions. This isn't sustainable in the long-term but for now it is what has given us an edge in determining the direction in which we grow.
Miranda: Thank you Miss Sablinova, with your cooperation and that of your government's I believe that the production facility will be open in a few months after retrofitting the abandoned factory. If this goes well we'll see about building a larger facility hopefully in the near future.
Silver: No, thank you Miss Lawson your company will help create more jobs for the people and hopefully generate more economic development. I look forward to our continued cooperation between us and your company.

MC'S POV (Bailya)
Never would I have suspected that I would receive assistance from not one, not two but three well known criminal organizations. I was about to contact M'Shen about handling the issue but I never expected that all I needed to do was sit on my hands and just wait. Jean had detained a few assassins when they got close enough as she was still uncomfortable using the Phoenix force. Then out of nowhere a few mutants began hunting down assassins.
These mutants were part of the radical faction known as the Brotherhood of Mutants. They mercilessly took down every hit-man that they encountered. They weren't alone as Hydra agents who should hate me for working with the Avengers not to mention that I was the one who killed Red Skull. They specifically only targeted the assassins that were targeting me anyone else was ignored. The the same could be said about Nyssa and Talia from the League of shadows except they were more clinical leaving zero wasted movements.
The opposition wasn't entirely made of scrubs that didn't know to stay in their lane. Bullseye, Deadshot and Taskmaster were cutting down anyone stupid enough to go after them as they made their way here. Kraven was making a show of this which seemed outside of his usual tactics of stalking and waiting. I didn't see Death stroke but he and his daughter were probably out there somewhere. Deadline was phasing through walls and blasting away. He was essentially the hit-man version of Kitty Pryde. There were definitely many more made names out there to the point it began to look like civil war.
Queen Bee: Julian what the actual fuck is going on outside and why does it look like all out war in my capital!
"Let's not play stupid you knew about the assassins for a while now since you said nothing about it when my people were catching or killing them"
Queen Bee: Of course I knew about that but how did it turn into this!
"This is the result of letting a problem fester but I will handle it before you need to call the military. M'Shen!"
M'Shen: I am here sir. My acolytes should be executing those responsible for this disaster and a cease and desist order should be issued soon.
Queen Bee: what does she mean...
As if on que both sides immediately began to pull back just as soon as phones on everyone in combat began ringing almost all at once. Slade's mercs were the first to begin clearing the scene followed by the other big names then the rest. Before Queen Bee could ask what was going on I turned on the television in the room on the screen the was a full scale rebellion of the neighboring country Qurac. The leadership brutally murdered in their own homes and their families dragged into the street as angry mobs tore them apart. I know that Black Cat and Catwoman definitely weren't expecting this on their mission but there are always casualties in war. They have been trained enough that they shouldn't be too affected but this is the first time they caused something this big.
"Oh dear it seems as though your neighboring country has collapsed. Queen Bee can you possibly send your forces to help restore order?"
A malicious smile spread across her face as she completely disregarded the chaos from earlier.
Queen Bee: Of course the people of Qurac need my help how can I turn my back on them!
