Lilith wasn't fond of being kept on a chain, in fact she really didn't like a number of these missions she'd been orchestrated to do to test her loyalty as a Dragon but the promise of embellished power and pride was too much. She'd stressed it just about everywhere else but here she'd actually seen firsthand results the power of the gang leaders tried and true as they struck down their enemies. Doubt filtered in but it wasn't before long that confidence gained a firsthand grasp at Lilith's own hands. Eventually father would see just how capable she was to carry on the family name a much greater stride than her elder siblings. Her target in Shanghai, a city widely known as the jewel of China, though to her it'd become a little more muddled. Overpopulation, crime, the filth that inhabited the streets day to day claiming themselves as superior to those of the royalty that allowed them to live there. Pft. A less than pleasant sigh would pass through her lips crossing over into the crowded streets making her way down the main street.
Dressed rather simply Lilith aimed not to garner too much suspect attention, a turquoise and blue Qi Pao adorning her figure, hair done up into a simple bun she aimed to fit in with the crowd aside from some glaringly obvious features that she clearly was not brought up here simply due to race. However she would look the part of a regular, that she did belong here, posture held high and a confidence that could make mountains quake. Practiced and patient she followed the road and around simple bends in a corner street coming to a large, gaudy building host to a known gang affiliate.
Zhang Du, known as a fearsome crime boss here in southern Shanghai, he'd become a rather pressing thorn in the Dragon's side one that they'd be far too happy to see 'disappear'. Just the same however his grasp on power paled in comparison to any true threats he housed himself up in the damned middle of their hometown for God sakes can you say suicidal? With that being said however Zhang had a number of highly trained bodyguards at his side and even while getting in wasn't the issue getting out alive was. This didn't weather Lilith's confidence in the slightest she had a plan in mind how to deal with this.
Approaching the front she'd complacently pad on the front steps stopping short of the top lifting her gaze just to make an arrangement of whom stood there. Two bulky guards that stood far taller than her their arms crossed with no protective sleeves aside from the inked up creatures that adorned them. "I was sent for by Zhang." She said keeping it short as a third man arrived. Notably shorter than the other two in fact it cause Lilith some strain to lower her head to be below his as he stood even shorter than her. However the man's stature was that of a giant, long struts bringing him closer to her in wide gaudy steps, chest puffed out and lower jaw elongated to snap at you a second you were out of line. His hand jutted out suddenly seizing her lower jaw. It took Lilith all the strength in the world not to hiss or bite his fingers off just then. Examining her like a toy his eyes returned a dark callus investigative manner really giving no consideration to personal space, she could tell everything about him in that instance. A man of posture his daily routine involved a morning run, a stout meal of under cooked eggs, an evening of rape on account of his position, he was the type of man you rarely evaded the gaze of.
A trickle of sweat whether intentional or not dripped down Lilith's brow, it was unbecoming but just the same sold her position here. The stout man chuckled and mumbled something behind him indistinguishable his wandering hands trailing to a Dragon poised on Lilith's dress. "Come". He'd beckane in English very commandingly as she shuffled in nervously at his heels. The small man had something about him that inspired an invisible tether she couldn't edge more than five feet away from him without feeling heavier she wondered what that meant, how such a small cretin could command such control. Before long she'd been dragged to the front before a long table where Zhang normally ate, the man however was hidden behind a veil of two bodies at either side and a thick bowl forced to his lips. It would seem as though power did not normally dictate that you would inherit mannerisms befitting a king. Or perhaps that is simply just the nature of human beings unkempt by society. Zhang ushered the man to his side and just like that the weight was lifted and replaced with another, a crippling fear that made her posture tighten, Lilith was a stature she would not be moved from this place even the dripping moisture at her brow seemed to be held in place from the sudden force. And just like that it hit her, both faces turned upright in a sudden fixated scowling enjoyment. Shock overcoming Lilith but not shown on her face before a striking pain thrust against the flank of her skull and everything went to black.
Hours later...
Lilith awoke in her muddled attire strapped to a chair, the condensation on her brow intensified and mixed with a soot and blood. Her vision hued in blurs and breath ragged. How long had she been down here and more importantly why, had she been given away. It didn't matter, this mission was a farce and she needed to get out. To live.
An aching sound muddled in the dark as the gremlin man strode forward this time she could really see his shallow beady eyes and a sick twisted enjoyment that hid behind them. "So my dear, tell me about the Dragon plot to elliminate us." He'd demand quite fluently his hands still playing between each other waiting on bated breath on her response. "Go fuck yourself." Lilith promptly responded with a haggard spitwad to his face. The gremlin man would convulse in retreat finding no such thing and hissing to himself before coming up with a dirty rag to veil his hideous appearance for but a moment coming up mostly clean. "So unbecoming of a lady." He'd taunt bringing up a steel rod heated to the point its tip was ablaze. "Tell me dear or I'll have to punish you." He'd giggle insanely as though he was Dr. Evil himself.
