AOJ Chapter 1

"Massimo Centre" is the first chapter of Arrow of Justice released on September 4th, 2020, at the same time as the book's publication. It mainly focuses on Massimo's arrival to Rome and the character of Aristide.

Summary
Massimo writes a 'goodbye' letter to his mom, explaining his sudden disappearance, and travels to Rome. In the capital, he meets Rufino, a mentor from the government, meant to interview Massimo. The encounter ends in Rufino getting knocked out by Massimo, whom he intimidated. Massimo gets in a random metro train where he meets Aristide Ressi, who wears a facade to play with Massimo at first, but later reveals his intentions are nowhere near bad. They travel to Aristide's and Dolores' apartment, where Massimo reveals his true intentions when joining the government. To Dolores' disagreement and to Aristide's silence, Massimo leaves the apartment and travels back to the metro stations. Remembering one of New Italy's mottos, Massimo tries to show the government that he will be a 'fine addition to their collection' by unsuccesfully disbanding loud protestors. The interrogation ends with him brutally fighting an old man.
