Dating only really consisted of going out together and having fun. Having all these interactions together while I was there made them grow fond of one another. It was all business, but we had time to eat and joke around. Bianca and Romeo seemed to get along really well. It was like I was the chaperone on their dates. That was why it was no surprise when Romeo asked me for a day off to buy a ring and propose to her. I personally gave him $5000 to get a bigger ring than he was planning. He looked ecstatic. The next day, I waited for him to give me the good news. "She said yes, boss!" he said happily when he practically skipped through the door. "I'm very happy for you. I think we should go down to the church right about now. I want them to have a plan for your grand wedding." We went down to the church. Romeo was driving my car. Just like with Tommy and Asella, I bribed them to bring the date up. I would be bringing Dante and Daphne with me. All the other Diamond Butterfly members in Askill were coming to. None from the outside were coming. Romeo and Bianca were only associates.
I was attacked right after leaving the grounds of the church. A squad of 6 thugs were all trying to kill me. I had my skills in combat. Romeo was also there to protect me. It did not take us too long to kill them all. Romeo, as a big bodyguard, had a special ability where he could draw the aggro of others onto himself. While they were focused on Romeo, I could destroy them one by one. Romeo was no slouch in combat either. 10 missions gave you only half of a star. To have 3 stars to his name, he needed to have been in at least 60 successful enforcer jobs. We were both wounded, but it was not so bad that we could not make it back to my office. Once there, I patched both of us up. That was what I could do as a mob doctor. 1 rescue down. 2 more to go. The very next day, I was brought an invitation for a sit down by a fixer. I decided to call up Nicolò. I told him about the meeting offer. "Yeah. I got one of those too. The fixer is a total asshole. It came about an hour ago." he said. "I'm thinking about going. The war is still ongoing. Hearing them out might be very important." Nicolò decided he was going too.
Even Nicolò had a bodyguard now. Roberto Marzella was his name. They would sit down with the Brown Owl lieutenant in their own district. Payday district was worth a whole lot of money. It was crucial that things went well for us in that area. The Hills district was also a big money maker. The miners were there and it drew all the tourists from outside the tourists. The next day, Romeo and I arrived at our host's headquarters. There were some minor snacks and a glass of liquor. There were multiple people there doing work. I was led to the master office. The lieutenant was sitting there in a giant leather chair behind a mahogany desk. I sat in front of him. "So, here we are. It is nice to finally talk face to face. My name is Acario Cordone." I nodded my head. "Thank you for the invitation. I hope we can have a fruitful conversation." We began discussions. Obviously, they wanted all of our stuff. That was not going to happen. Since we were in such a higher position they were only able to really ask for money to stop running random attacks on my rackets. I rejected their offer. They could not win against us.
