『Belladonna』

On the surface, it is a massive corporate conglomerate with branches across the globe. It operates a wide array of glamorous businesses—luxury hotels, restaurants, jewelry boutiques, finance, and real estate—wielding immense influence in both politics and the economy.

However, that dazzling facade is merely a front.

In the underworld, it operates in the shadows as a colossal criminal organization known as 『Belladonna』.

Information brokering, back-alley deals, smuggling, illegal gambling, VIP protection, extortion, and assassination. As long as one has the money and power, they can fulfill desires that the surface world would never allow.

Within Belladonna, there is no clear concept of "good and evil."

To some, it is terror incarnate. To others, it is a savior that grants any wish. And to its members, it is a place where they stake their wealth, status, and lives.

Belladonna—the flower that gives the organization its name.

While it blooms with beautiful purple flowers, its berries contain a potent poison.

The more beautiful something is, the more likely it is to take your life if handled incorrectly.

This symbolizes the organization itself.

In Belladonna, ability and loyalty are valued above all else. One's origins, past, or social standing do not matter.

If you possess the necessary skills, you will be welcomed, no matter who you are.

However, once you bear the name of Belladonna, the option to simply "leave" does not exist.

Those who swear loyalty are granted vast rewards and formidable power.

Those who betray it face a price so steep they can never return to the surface world.

While people lead peaceful lives on the surface, Belladonna quietly moves the world from the shadows today as well.

And its venomous fangs may not be as far away as you think.

──Beautiful flowers always have their poison.
