Chapter -5 "Entering Her Dan"

＜Xavier POV＞

---------------

Curiosity gets the best of me. I came back from the club late at night and went to the gym early in the morning. Today was the day I had been waiting for.

I was excited to meet the King's leader. I heard a lot about her. How she doubled the King's power overnight.

As instructed I reached the spot on time. Surprisingly King's headquarters were not underground, or some shady place that makes you puke. Nothing you could imagine of a dangerous mob gang trend. It was a quite elite-looking mansion, surrounded by the forest as far as one could see.

Nobody could set foot inside this place until they had ordered. The whole mansion was packed with tight security, both high-tech and physical. For the exact location, I wasn't sure either. They blindfolded me before throwing me in the car.

They didn't remove my blindfolds until we reached the first check post. I was cramped in the car's back seat between two bulky guys.

We got through the big metal gates which were guarded by black-dressed guards and the latest camera monitoring our every movement.

The driver nodded towards one of the guards who hopped out of the cabin to walk towards the door and placed his fingers on the fingerprint panel attached to it. The doors cracked open to reveal the well-built residence surrounded by the wild beauty of nature.

Once inside our little journey ended. A car came to a halt and we stepped out. Another guard came into view. He took my cell phone and said I will get it back after the visit.

We stepped inside the mansion. I stood in the middle, surrounded by the three bodyguards with me.

"Wait here," Outside of a spacious room one of my guards instructed. He took the initiative to knock on the door before opening it and sliding in through the crack.

While waiting I rolled my gaze around, we were in a long hallway. Some old paintings were hanging on the white and grey colored walls.

"Let him in" A voice called before that guard exited and gestured to me to go in.

I looked at my so-called protectors who didn't move to follow me, stood like statues, loyal dogs, Huh.

I grinned at one of them whom I fought earlier before whirled to walk into the room that turned out to be an office.

A man named Kyle, who came to visit me at the club that day was sitting behind the big fat ass glass desk. Today he was dressed in a white shirt and black denim.

"We meet again, Xavier right?” I nodded, “Good to see, you made the right decision."

'Right thing? Only if you know.'

I chuckled, “I'm quite sure what I want."

"Huh. I like your attitude. Come on, let's see if you have a real fire or just talk." He left his seat and walked out, I followed.

He left the first floor on which his office was and climbed the third floor. All the mansion was highly secured, with no chance of getting attacked by rivals.

Footsteps boomed in the empty hallway as we were closing the distance to a room, I assumed he was taking me to their leader. We both halted on our trail when our ears picked up a sound. Kyle's first instance was to take out his pistol.

Carefully he approached the room which I guessed was the office.

Doors weren't locked at all, we entered inside. My assumption proved right, it was an office. The sound was getting loud with each step we took yet the entire space was empty. No one was there. Strange.

I noticed that the dim light filling the office room was coming from the crack behind the curtains. Something was behind it.

"What's there?" I asked Kyle.

He didn't answer and hooked his gun back in his pants. He rushed towards the hidden door or crack, whatever it was, "Don't enter this room! Stay where you are." He ordered before vanishing behind the curtains.

I got curious, too bad. I inched closer to the hidden passage. Kyle's voice could be heard over the sound of banging. I stopped at the door frame. I didn't enter the room as he instructed.

"Reb! Open the door! Reb?" He was banging his fist on the door. Sounds from inside stopped completely before the door opened.

Coming out was a girl, who looked to be in her early twenties. Long hair, tall, fair skin, and burning fire in her gaze.

Who could she be?

She stepped aside from the door. Kyle sucked in a breath looking at the sight inside. The floor was glittering with pieces of broken glass and blood.

Did she cause such destruction?

I let my eyes trail her body. I bet she was doing the same. My eyes dropped to her bruised hands. Blood was dripping from her hands. She clenched her fist tightly to stop the blood flow only to bolster it.

"Kyle, in my office," I smirked when she walked past me whilst ordering Kyle.

Judging from the power and authority raking through her voice which made Kyle follow her without a word, she is the one I have been looking for. A person who operates the most dangerous gang in New York City. Evil Mafia Queen. Rebel King.

Though it came out as a surprise, I was expecting a badass woman who knows how to rule over men's dominating world. Indeed life is full of surprises.

Back in the office, She gave me a little task which I passed with flying colors and got the job instantly. Honestly speaking, for the starting seconds I didn't catch her intentions yet thanks to my sharp reflex I forged the bullet with an inch.

"..........take this new lad with you." Here we go, I got my first assignment by the famous mafia queen.

I was sure of one thing, this was going to be fun...
