The party was at the Pavillion Cambon Capucines which on Miguel opinion was such a waste of money for the venue. He hoped today would not be a such a boring day. He quickly found Daniel with his ridiculous suit flirting with three young women who stank of influence based on their clothes and jewels. He did not know who they were, but James informed him that on two of them were heiresses from a media conglomerate and the third one was the daughter of an executive of Ubisoft. Miguel charmingly introduces himself and discreetly removes Daniel and himself out of there. He did not need Daniel ruining their business chances with the media by charming the pants off the daughters of the executives. He reminds Daniel that he was not here as a Casanova technomagician, but as his vice president to network. 

He hated this event as many of the guests pay no interest on him but did care about Daniel handsome and quirky demeanor. That was until either he, James or Daniel mentions their only venture investor was H.E. Corporation, then they would be suddenly dropping their earlier conversations with others to ask to visit his company. They also became very chummy when they discover that he knew the President of HE, the King and Empress of Mexico personally. The attention to him was so bad that he casted his ignore me spell just to relax and be able to grab some of the tiny foods the waiters were offering. 

He would not lie the food was delicious, but he really wished he could just eat some trashy greasy tacos. Mexican food was something he had been struggling since he moved to France. Sure, Paris has great foods, but one gets tired of fancy restaurants meals and just wants homemade food. He had been too busy translating lore and running a company to cook for himself. James had been looking for local immigrant population for a good old fashion Mexican mother as they are the ones who make the best homemade food. It is not stereotype they do make the best food he tried to get his cleaning lady from St. Lois to move with him, but she was undocumented immigrant. He ensured her that he would help her readjust and if he ever came back to the United States he would finance her legalization. She still was not sure, so he left her behind with good recommendation to a friend to hire her.

As he reminisced about needing to hire someone to cook for him. Suddenly, all the light went off which left the entire room pitch black. James on his side grabbed and pulled behind him. James was his bodyguard after all before his personal assistant.

“Rev ehco laaug iad.” Whispered Miguel under his breath, so he could see as if it was clearly sunny what was happening. 

Five men enter the room, four with machine guns and one empty handed all wearing night vision googles. People were starting to panic and began to rummage around until one of the men shoot upwards yelling in French to get down to the floor. Miguel knew he had to do something preformed his first spell the one he was the most experience with live animation to breathe life into his tattoo snakes to crawl out of his skin.  

The snakes silently slid on the floor, then jump into two of the closest men. The two of the men struggle to get free trying to fire at the snakes off causing the other three noticed as their fellow men fell to the ground completely immobilized. The men noticed most of the people were on the floor except from James and Miguel. They correctly assume it was them who had taken down two of their men. They aimed and unloaded their magazine into them.
