Miguel was exhausted he had two stops before reaching his New York flight that will take him to his new home, Paris. He wonders how his new life would be, he decided that after all the drama that has happened in his life with the betrayal, lawsuits, and his mental breakdown that nearly collapse St. Lois city. Due to all that stress, he decided just to start his life anew as far away from the Americas, maybe Europe would be more chill. Also, what kind of artist would he be if he had the chance to live in Paris, and not take it. To be fair Miguel was not just your average artist, he was an animator. 

He just sold his original animation studio that had been such a hit, his small team who he met in his college years made two successful and profitable indie animation films. Miguel was kind of heartbroken having lost the part of his company to his former best friend, but he was not leaving empty-handed. Lutix Studio was a company that was funded with his friend in college when he was doing his art bachelor’s degree. The idea to create a studio was from his friend Lucas who was one of those trust funds guys who always major in business, but when Lucas meet him by random change. It was decided that they should monetize his talent. It was fifty-fifty co-ownership. It may sound unfair, but it made sense in its own way. Miguel would supply the art and story, and Lucas would run the business side of the studio. Miguel sucked at marketing, promoting, and connections, which were all things Lucas has been trained to do since he was just a child. Before Lucas, Miguel would upload his short animations to YouTube, which made him internet-famous due to his fluid animation and originality, but even though his videos received millions of views he earned little revenue. Lucas knew how to make his art profitable. They made three indie movies, which they showcase at the local indie movie festival. They were such hits, that Lucas was able to negotiate to have two of them be put in actual theaters. The profits were so high, that Lucas quit business school to run the company. His parents thought that he was wasting his time with such a frivolous and volatile endeavor and urged him to go back to business school. Miguel felt pressure, to quit his studies too, but he somehow managed to graduate. 

They were in the pre-production of the third movie remake which Miguel was sure would be a hit like the other two he had produced before. Sadly, Lucas was too greedy, he wanted more money and did not like Miguel carefree management of the art team. He decided that he wanted to sell the studio to a bigger company for financial backing and his own profits. The problem was his co-ownership prevented him to sell to a third party before offering to him first. Miguel did not want to be a subsidiary of any bigger entertainment company because his animations were not child-themed, but for a more mature audience, he did not want to be censured by someone else controlling his creative expression. His work has more blood and violence than a Pixar or Disney type of company would be happy to produce. Lucas not only sold his part of the company but the whole company by tricking him into signing away his part of the studio. Miguel was terrible with paperwork, so Lucas tricked him into signing away his part of the studio in guise of budget approval. Lucas sold the studio against Miguel’s wishes, he even refused to give Miguel part of the profits. Turned out Miguel got the last laugh. 

The entertainment company that bought their studio was suing both Miguel and Lucas because even though they bought their studio the intellectual properties were never registered to the studio, but rather were grandfathered and copyrighted by Miguel way before the studio was created. This meant that the entertainment company had bought only the rights of the two successful indie movies, but not the actual right to own the characters or story of the Misvart IP that Miguel created during his college years. The entertainment company sued them claiming the purchase of the studio was meant to be for the ownership of the IPs as this was the true value of buying their tiny studio. Lucas was losing all his money in lawsuits against the entertainment company.  It was a mess, but Miguel was mostly unscathed from the lawsuits as he had given his part of the studio away when he was tricked and was no longer legally liable for the fraudulent transaction of the studio. Lucas was trying to sue Miguel for the IP rights, so he could prevent the multi-million dollars lawsuit that he had on his back. Miguel was almost bullied into submission to sell his IPs to the entertainment company, but a childhood friend who was very wealthy stepped up and hire the best copyright attorneys that money could buy. He left it to his friend's lawyers to help him keep his IPs lawsuit free. Lucas, ended up in jail, due to fraudulent claims of ownership of the IPs in the selling of their studio. Miguel’s dreamy contemplation of how he ended up on this plane that eventually will lead to Paris was interrupted by the flight attendant who asked him if he wanted more champagne. He thanked her and decided that he had to check his itinerary because he was arriving in just an hour. He tried to concentrate, but his mind wonders about the luxuries that he has now compared to his childhood when he usually starved until a meal was available. Sitting in the first class, having enough solvency to just move to Paris and set up a company now with no partners or co-owners just himself.  

To be truthful his new company Dragon Tooth, will not be just his as he would technically only own 48 percent of the company, he would still run it as he wanted without anyone’s interference. The other 50 percent was owned by HE Corporate, the conglomerate that has its filthy paws on every industry. HE Corporate, was also, run by the King of the Mexican Kingdom. Miguel was involved in the schism against the King in the secret revolution which sadly he was on the losing side. The rebels had been either executed or if they were too useful were branded and watched. He was too valuable to be executed, so instead, he was sent to the United States unofficially banished until further notice. It was not exactly the worst consequence, they send him to one of the more dangerous cities in the United States, but they did pay for his college education. After the lawsuits and his later decision to move to Paris. The King of Mexico feared he would lose his control on him. So, the King offered him a deal that he could not refuse. The King would give him near limitless funding for him to set up his animation company if H.E. was the majority holder. This way the King had access to all of Miguel's financial assets to monitor and control him. H.E. would not oversee or interfere with the art of the company, only its financial side.

Miguel accepted the chain-and-ball partnership because the King only cared about power and has no interest in animation projects. The King would probably have him killed or kidnaped with his Court of Assassins regardless of if he took the deal or not. He decided that limitless funds and a gigantic corporation helping him run the business side of the company would be useful. As he bordered the last plane and was heading to Paris he decided to read his info on who is picking him up. His childhood friend, Raj, had helped him hire a man named James Williams to act as his personal assistant/bodyguard. From what he read on his tablet as he stepped out of the plane, tried to look for James at the airport. It should not be difficult to spot him as according to the file he was an late middle-aged black man with an exoskeleton leg. He came recommended from the butler of Raj who was also a former MI6 agent. Miguel needed a personal assistant who can keep secrets even though sparks were now public knowledge, no one knew what he was. He was too dangerous to have people know his former secret identity or his abilities. James Williams had accepted the job because he no longer wanted to have a stressful and secretive job but struggled to find a well-paid position with his kind of skills that is relaxing with tons of vacation time to support and visit his ex-wife and son back in England.

“Bienvenue, Mossier Aguilar, je suis James Williams, votre aide personnelle. Souhaitez-vous voir les hébergements que j'ai faits pour vous?” James stated with a flawless French accent, as he offers him his hand to shake it.

Miguel was confused thinking that James did not speak French, but he guessed the secret agent must had languages training. Something that he should do is practice French instead of usually cheating now that he was going to live in France. Miguel shook his hand and had no idea what the man was talking about.

“Sorry, my French is terrible. Do you speak English or Spanish?” Miguel asked as he hoped he had not made a terrible mistake moving to France.

“Ah! Yes, sir. I am British, of course, I speak English. I also have linguistic skills in Spanish, German, and Arabic” explained James as he took his luggage and ask if he wanted to see his new accommodation.

“Yes, that would be great. I am a native Spanish speaker, but I also know English. So, let us meet in between you prefer English, and I am fine with English” stated Miguel as they took a taxi to Miguel's new residence. A penthouse that had a direct view of the Eiffel Tower, which was extravagant and extremely expensive, but Miguel who grew up in misery could not avoid giving himself every whim he wanted. He supposed if his friend Sofia or her brother would psychoanalyze him would say that he is trying to fill his childhood traumas of lack of love, safety, and shelter with his extravagant lifestyle.

He guessed now that he was set up in his apartment with James giving him his schedule for the week. The week would be jam-packed with interviews with animators, artists, and other creative people to see who to hire for the many positions needed to run a studio.  He also had to go to the office near the industrial area where his multiple buildings of DragonTooth company had been bought. He would have to deal with some business matters now even though most was done by H.E. hired staff, he still needed to approve their processes and policies. He dreaded all the work that involved hiring people, running the company, and especially delaying the research on Misvart lore.
