Biography
In Kuan's Fridge (147), at the planet Nekar, an accountant who's with a White Police Guard, says to him that U.C.S. has requested the Gosan family to pay some of the reconstruction cost. He says that U.C.S. always go begging the Gosan's with every problem they've. The accountant says that the Gosan family had like him to pay five percent of the loan he got from them in cash. He says that he doesn't have that kind of cash because he can barely pay the interests. The accountant sees a screen and says that last he checked he hired a dozen Hyper-Quanxs this month alone ones who'd applied for the Gosan family, so it's a bit too much considering the size of his business, and it looks like only one of them would be more than enough, if he didn't know any better, he'd say he's getting ready for an armed conflict with them.

He calls his henchman and starts hitting him. He shouts that he told his henchman not to let those crummy reject Quanxs into his land, and he should be saving that money to pay off their debt. The accountant says that Marquess can spare the theatrics because he doesn't think he's hurting his henchman at all, and he get what he's trying to do here and let's wrap this up. He apologizes. The accountant says that the Gosans' auditing concluded that 5% in cash would've little effect on Marquess' ventures, so if he think it's too much, he may object, and with a solid proof, of course, if not, please prepare the sum by early next month, after the Nekar festival. The accountant and a White Police Guard are disappear. He says to his henchman that he'll blabbed it all to the Gosan's, but it's okay because he's one of their mutts too, and his master's a dog, so it's only natural for him too. He angry and shouts that just how far this bastard Gosan does know about him, and if he want his money, it's fine so he'll give him as much as he want. He orders to his henchman that he should shake that money out of every business right now, until they get that cash ready. His henchman says that his business operators have already been milked dry because of the festival, so if they doing it again would cause a serious revolt. He says that it's Gosan who wants his business operators' money, so his henchman should crush anyone who doesn't wanna pay up and while he's at it, he tell them the truth, and he tell them that all of this is in the glorious name of the self-proclaimed ruler of the universe eight, Gosan.

According to (151), the girl's owner told her to falsely report to the police that Marvin molested by her because he said it was necessary 'cause of him, and she doesn't know the details.

The girl and Marvin stop and catch their breath. Ayn is standing on the corner watching for the police. Marvin says to the girl that she said nothing happened, but she falsely reported to the police that he molested by her. The girl says that her owner told her to say otherwise because he said it was necessary 'cause of him, and she doesn't know the details. Ayn reads a text of a hologram and says that he isn't with the El's.

Marvin, Ayn and girl arrive to the restaurant like Chinese restaurant. Marvin calls to Mayhen. Mayhen says to Marvin that she's guessing that their second master's order to collect the money reached the lower organizations of Nekar. Marvin asks that but still, why would the lower organizations of Nekar do this to them. Mayhen answers that they just told the lower organizations of Nekar to pay up, and they can't meddle with how they get the money. Marvin asks that then there's nothing they can do Nekar. Marvin hangs off and says to Ayn that he thinks he was right, that Marquess needed money quick, so he must've pressured his men. Marvin holds his head and says that these Marquess' men bastards even brought the police into this to rip off an innocent tourist like him, and they never card about minors before, and they're using them as an excuse, but still, molesting a minor isn't right.

Marvin calls and asks their help to Hugol's henchman. Hugol's henchman reports it to him. Hugol angry and says that how did his gang get involved in all this, those bastards never let go once they figure they've the upper hand, so him, that bloody hyena is the last man he wants to deal with. Hugol orders to his henchman that they can't go bankrupt, he should go talk to him that if he's willing to stay out of this. Hugol's henchman meets to him and tell it. Hugol's henchman says that the molester was one of El's managers and it seems there's been a small misunderstanding, and they thought he's the only man virtuous enough to solve this kind of problem. He angry and says that Hugol's henchman should tell him to show his face here if he wants something from him, and he doesn't care where this manager is from, the man did something wrong, he's gotta pay for it, if the cops can't catch him, he'll personally get his guards to get him, and if he or anyone who has a stake in his business tries to help or harbor this man, he'll take it as a direct challenge to his authority and summon his Quanx guards, and wipe out every last one of them. He asks to his henchman that what would happen if that El's manager ends up dead while they were following Gosan's orders. His henchman answers that with the rising tension between the two families, it might set the fuse to the war. He smiles and says that he just got an idea to screw over that prick Gosan for good.

Hugol angry and says that his acting way more aggressively than he expected, if Marvin gets caught, there's no point pleading innocence because the Memory Reading Quanx in the police is also working for that damn thug. Hugol orders to his henchman that it's come to this, let's just have Marvin finish his work in a detention cell, they'll get the results they want for the services they'll provide him while he's in there. Hugol's henchman tells Marvin to it.

The screen which is written yellow 黃 appeared to his guards. Monkey angry and says that things were just about to get fun but a summon order appear now, so Marquess has the worst timing, and they go ahead and he'll wrap things up here and catch up. The other his guard says that Monkey just shut up and hang Yellow hair girl already, because he's hot-tempered so let's get back to base before he raises hell with them.

He says to his henchman that listen closely to what he's about to tell them. His henchman uses his Telepathy ability and conveys his message to his guards that he'll be delivering the words of him, because this is to prevent their memories of today's summoning getting read or released against their will by outsiders which is why he'll be delivering his true message telepathically. His henchman's device is shining when he uses his ability. He says that they must do their part in collecting the U.C.S. contribution, which Duke Gosan, the ruler of universe eight, must pay, that is how they can repay the Duke's kindness make sure not to use any underhanded methods in the process. His henchman conveys that his guard should drain those peasants, ruthlessly, get rid of anyone who stands in their way, including women and children, be as cruel as they feel like, and if they resent them, tell them that they're just following Duke Gosan's orders, so that all the hatred and resentment of this universe is pointed at him. He pushes his screen and says that there's one thing his guards should especially look out for, this fella is said to be a manager from the El family. He floats Marvin's face by his screen. He says that this fella is being chased by the police, a long story, apparently, of course, he wanted to help him, but he's being accused of a serious crime, there was nothing he could does, and he seems to be on the run, hiding from the police, as his guard know, the tension between the Gosan's and the El's is building up, so make sure they don't hurt him if they come across him during their job. His henchman conveys his message that this fella is his guards' target and he wants them to get rid of him and make it look like an accident.

Hojo's guards kill a family's father. The family's mother wails to the other Hojo's guard that he suddenly show up in the middle of the night and rip them off so he's the crazy ones here. The merchants see this situation and talk that Gosan ordered him to collect money for him during the festival, and they called the cops but they'll show up after those bastards are gone, so they must on Marquess' payroll too, and maybe they should just make a run for it at night but Hyper-Quanxs will catch them, so they may hide at the Sisterhood of Agni and get help from the Quanx priests there, of course if they find out they're being chased by his goons, they'll throw them out because they won't make enemies with those guys. The other his guard says to another guards that they should hang family in front of the front gate as an example. The other his guard says that these peasants think they can disrespect them like this. The other his guard wipes his head and says that Marquess wanted them to behave, but now he's pissed, he doesn't give a damn if it's a festival season, they should tear everything down.

Sita is on her way here from work, and his guards are doing beat the people everywhere, she tries calling the police, but they wouldn't show up. So Sita takes a video. The other his guard throws things and says to father and daughter that they're here to collect the money they borrowed from them but they won't pay up. Father says to his guards that it's not that they don't want to and they can't because the festival has just started. The other his guard beats daughter and grabs father's hand and says that he'd dare raise voice at him, and he make it sound like he's the bad guy here, and he shouts to another people that this isn't his idea, he didn't want to force them to pay up, this is Duke Gosan, the ruler of universe eight's order, so they see, they're just following Gosan's orders, and they say they can't pay up, but there's an easy way to see if they really can't pay back or won't. The other Hojo's guard steps on father's back and says that if they want their limbs the way they're, they should bring the money by 6 o'clock. Another his guard finds Sita and shouts that someone is filming his guards right now. Sita shows that situation to Kane and ladies. Kane says to Sita that it could've been dangerous, so she should be more careful. Sita says to Kane that she was on her way here from work, and his guards were doing this everywhere, she tried calling the police, but they wouldn't show up. A lady asks to Kane that what if his guards come in the Sisterhood of Agni too. Kane answers that the Sisterhood of Agni is safe, and they don't owe him anything, the problem is the merchants who deal with them, they'll all swarm to this place once his goon's get to them, which means they'll end up confronting the Marquess at some point, it's the last thing they need. Kane angry and says that damn nobles squeeze common folks dry without a drop of remorse. Kane says to the ladies that they may gather the Quanx priests and they'll prepare for the worst.

His guards beats people. A man shouts to his guards that this goes against the customs that have been upheld, and to hurt all these people like this, so Marquess is bad. A his guard says to the man that he told him that this has nothing to do with him, and it's the order of Duke Gosan, who doesn't care about their customs, and the Duke is in urgent need of cash, so if they don't have the cash, they should at least pay by their organs.

His guards make people bleed and then tie them up and show them to others. The other his guard shouts to the people that they should take a good look at these fools, this is what happens when they don't meet the deadline and try to protest against them, and it's the will of the ruler of universe eight, Duke Gosan. The people talk that those tyrants are insane so let's make a run for it tonight, and the same will happen if they can't repay the debt, so they'll hide in the Sisterhood of Agni, which is a place where the Marquess' influence doesn't reach, and they both beg each other for food, so the Sister won't be able to turn her back on them.

Too many people have gathered in the Sisterhood of Agni. The people talk that the Sisterhood of Agni was this many people who'd the same ideas as them. Marvin climbs high and holds Sita's hands and put it up and asks to her that what's all this. Sita answers to Marvin that his gangsters' cruelty caused the people all to flee in the Sisterhood of Agni.

His henchman reports to him that the merchants flied to to the Sisterhood of Agni. He says to his henchman that he wasn't aware of any rathole on his turf, and this is what dirty rats' puny brains came up with, but the farm is part of his land, after all.

In the recording, Blue old man shouts to the Devarims that he'll tell them one more time, they're members of the private security force of Duke Gosan, White Police Guards, as of this hour, they shall take over this ship. Aaron asks to the old men that what right do they think they've to terrorize. Blue old man shouts that as men under the shelter of the Duke, they couldn't bear to look away from their disgusting rebellion. Cain angry and shouts to the old men that do they even know who he's. Blue old man shouts to Cain that well if it's not the one meddling with the church behind the Duke's back, and he orders to Green old man that he should tie him up. Green old man ties Cain up. Cain shouts to Green old man that he should get their hands off him, at this instant. Blue old man shouts to Devarims that they'll be taking all of them to the Duke, there, they'll address him with respect, and ask for permission to the ruler of universe eight, himself. Blue old man finds someone and shouts that the person is filming this right now. He watches this and asks to his henchman that what kind of dumb joke is this. His henchman answers to him that it's the biggest news spread all over the U.C.S. network. He says that the Gosan's are on a path leading to self-destruction, and making the entirety of the aristocrats of universe eight their enemy, and that's fine by him.

Monkey and another his guard watch Marvin. Monkey says to another his guard that he should get rid of the accountant from the El's, now. Another his guard says to Monkey that it's supposed to be an 'accident', so they should report to their Master first. He watches a screen and laughs and says to his henchman that the colleagues who aren't happy about Gosan are all rising up, this might be over four-fifths of the noble union, and it's making him confident, knowing that he's carrying out his will, under his own name. Monkey calls to him and reports that the accountant's at the Sisterhood of Agni. He orders to Monkey that he should keep a sharp eye on the accountant. His henchman asks to him that he'll signing the complaint sent over by the noble union. He says to his henchman that his colleagues who know well about his feelings toward Gosan, will be thinking that he'll sign it without a second thought, but he doesn't like this kind of protest that's all talk, he'll give the gentleman the physical boost that they need, to the safe-zone, Sisterhood of Agni, he'll take his hunting dogs and goes there himself, goes to find his rats that are on the run, and accidentally kill the accountant in the process, classic two for one, the main course was the Hyper loyal hounds of the Gosans kidnapping the El's successor, they're just here to serve the dessert, messing with the Go'el Church while doing the work of the Gosan, backer of the Church of Madonna, it could even lead to a collision between the two religions, however they slice it, he'll be handing him his greatest crisis yet, with he, the great his own hands.

Monkey teleports with him and another his guard also teleports to the Sisterhood of Agni. He says that they interrupt the people's meal time, and it's perfect, actually, they'll get to have their last supper before meeting their demise.

A stone falls where one of the priests is located. The priest sees another stone coming. The stone falls on the priest's tray. The priest angry and holds the stone, and says that what kind of lowlife is. The priest throws the stone, at this time, a person shouts. Monkey angry and says to the priests that a priest tried to kill a man with this stone. He and the other his guards appear. Monkey reports to him that those freaks, and he says to him that then he guesses they'll have to retaliate. Someone screams and the other priest appears and says to Kane that the Marquess' hounds barged in and are relentlessly and the priests are being completely outmatched. Monkey attacks to the people with his ability. He says that if it isn't all the poor missing citizens of his land, the Sisterhood of Agni kidnap them to use as slaves here at their farm. His guards say that they should spread out wide, and annihilate the Quanx priests. Marvin, Kane and the other priest run to him. Kane shouts to him that he should stop, and the Sisterhood of Agni is a holy safe haven. He says to Kane that she kidnapping his people and not just that, she assaulted his guards who were just walking by. Marvin looks at him. He also looks at Marvin and thinks that the person is the El's manager. He says to Kane that their priest tried to slaughter his guards so everything happening before her eyes is self-defense. Marvin looks at Sita who's carries the soup. Monkey tries to use his ability. Sita calls Marvin to Mister. Marvin is surprised and runs to Sita and shouts to her that she shouldn't come this way because it's dangerous.



Monkey uses his ability and the people hit. The priest is takes hit instead of Kane. Sita is attacked by her arm and her arm is cut off. Marvin is surprised.

Kane holds to the other priest who's dead and shouts to Marvin. Marvin feels anger and shouts to him that their guards are savages. Marvin tries to open his red thermos but he's attacked by Monkey's attack. Marvin falls and Kane sees him. He sees Marvin and says to Kane that the gentleman is the El's manager his guards were searching for, and even he was held a prisoner at this place, even aliens, so the Sisterhood of Agni disgust him.

Monkey reports to him that his guards have eliminated the remaining Quanx priests. He says to Monkey that simultaneously, his guards have caught all the runaway rats in this place, it's good work. Kane asks to him that why did he has to go so far, this meaningless manslaughter. He says to Kane that he told her already, it was a self-defense to protect himself and his land, so Miss nun should try putting herself in his shoes for a second. Kane says to him that he can't get away with murdering all Quanx priests and he thinks he can handle the backlash. He says to Kane that it's not a religious person talk, also, he's not the one who's responsible for this, all of this is Duke Gosan's will, she and him, all of them, they were living happily and peacefully together, although they were a bit fatigued with the preparation for the festival and all the guests, but he suddenly demanded them to pay for the U.C.S. contribution he was charged with, out of the blue, he squeezed them to a choke, so like he said, the one responsible for all this is non other than something. At this time, someone says to him that these are lies. He asks that who said these are lies, so the person should show himself. At the moment, Marvin clutches his chest and says to him that all of it's nothing but lies.
