To my fans both new and old, please continue to support me, I owe everything I am and will be to you. And to my future rivals, stay tuned, I’m coming.]” Lexi winks at the camera, and the video ends.
Fumiko hands Lexi the phone she recorded the video on, and waits silently as the redhead watches the video. “[Is it ok?]” Fumiko asks.
Lexi rolls her eyes. “
”
Fumiko lowers her head. “[I’m sorry, if you want, we could record ano-]”
Lexi waves her off dismissively. “[No, forget it, you’ll just screw up something else. Grab my bags, we’re leaving.]”
Fumiko nods and turns to collect Lexi’s belongings with a sigh. It’s then that she notices an envelope lodged between two of Lexi’s bags which she had noticed before. She grabs it and turns to Lexi. “[Did you see this? It has your name on it.]”
With a look of disinterest on her face, Lexi grabs the envelope from Fumiko and tears it open. Her brow furrows slightly as she reads the short message, which is written in English.
> Dear Lexi,
> I was very impressed by your debut tonight. But while you have talent, a young wrestler like yourself needs experience behind you. And a generous sponsor. We should meet, I’m sure it could be mutually beneficial. 2pm tomorrow at the Shibuya Grand Q Hotel. Room 920. Be there. Feel free to bring your sister.
> - CK
Someone with the initials CK wants to meet her. Lexi grins. Just over a week ago The Foremother warned her that she would soon encounter her cousin Cassie Kade for the first time. A Kade who knows nothing about her heritage, something of a curiosity to Lexi. But the Foremother’s instructions to change that and bring her into the fold were clear. And now, she had the perfect opportunity.
