They stay silent as they listen to my story, not even stopping to drink their coffee. "I was scared but my curiosity got the best of me. Also, it would be nice if we could find his weakness and story. If we get to know him more, we could find an opening to attack. It could be our major advantage when we rise, as Shallow Rail. You're not planning to stay and act loyal to him forever right? We have to move sooner or later. My plan is to move in 2 or at most 3 years. After I established my division, combined with your's and Mark's division, we would have plenty enough. With that, if we could have a relationship with another lower or newbie gang, we could increase our group's strength. Or maybe we could look for people on the streets that can join us or maybe if we're lucky, we find kids that can be trained from small. Before y'all protest, I'm not saying we force them, it's just a proposal." I finished as they just nod their head in silence and finally took a sip of their drinks, as do
About a hundred people break out in an all-out war. Some have collapsed on the ground panting with a black and blue face, come even passed out, not even one was unscathed with a scar or bloody mouth and fist. I look at the clock showing 6.30 pm, there is still time. He didn't say any time specifically so it's up to me to decide when our tonight meeting is. After around 15 to 20 minutes, around 20 to 25 people were left. Seems like most of these girls come unprepared seeing how fast a hundred goes down to twenties. Much to my surprised, Shelia is still standing there fighting her guts out. Quite admirable seeing how plain she looks. But with this, she can fit that role perfectly. Another one that catch my interest was the duo twin that fights while backing each other up. Nice tactic, and such a coincidence for me to gain twins. But my interest comes for later when the last 10 was left. When I was too focused on my mind, I didn't realize that the rumble was over. There i
My face goes beet red in the realization that I've been staring too long. I turned around and said," C-Can you put on something. You know I'm coming tonight and yet you're like that. Aren't you embarrassed?" But he just chuckled in reply and goes behind me and back hugged me while closing the door. I squealed in surprise as he suddenly hugged me and raise me above the ground then sits me down on his lap while he sits on the bed. "What the fuck are you doing right now?! Let me go!" instead of complying with my demand, he puts his head on the crook of my neck as he tightens his hugs. I can feel the heat of his skin from my back and its wetness from the shower where he didn't dry it properly. My body tighten up as his breath touched my neck, it was warm yet arousing. I'd be lying if I say I hate it but I'm sane enough to stick to what I'm coming here for. As I was about to open my mouth in protest he cuts me and shush me as he said in a husky and whisper voice, " Do me a favor
I go back to my room feeling shocked. I understand that my brother did something wrong but I never thought that he was a murderer. I can't bring myself, who had a lot of expectation and respect for my brother to believe that he was that heartless. Even among all the hate words that I sprout out, I still have an ounce of respect for him, I still had hope that there was some good left in him. But, hearing that he murmured someone and insult the dead especially the one who have gone through up and down with him. He disappoints his best friend like that and still acts all high and mighty without any guilt disgust me. It makes my hatred goes deeper than before. I hate him, yet what is this feeling? The pang in my chest and the tears that swelled in my eyes. It hurts.I sit down on the bed and ponders about my feeling. I can't justify anything at the moment, not my feeling, not my mind, everything is a mess. I made it this far thinking that my determination is solid and unshakable.
After Vanessa finish sharing her information, she sits down beside me and I got up. I walk around the table to go towards the large window that shows you a beautiful display of the city. It's bustling and people going in and out of the main building and the shop around, people walking across the street also the glimmering light from the building glass reflection. Everyone stays silent, seeming to slowly process their newfound information, "What do you think of those who rebel and betray me? Will you kill me if someone other than me tells you to? I'm in for picking ELICO but if any of you have a valid reason to oppose, I'm all ear for it." No one makes a sound, the room was so quiet as if a mosquito buzz could be heard clearly. After a good minute of silence, someone clears their throat and speaks, "Umm, I'm not sure what do you mean by that but as who we are now, we're no longer just anyone. We're here to sign up not for the gang but for you. I don't know if some think
I was roaming around the second floor which is the floor I used for my team meeting. I goes around for about 20 minutes until I found a group of guys carrying loads of boxes filled with documents. I jog towards them and ask where Dexter is. Not knowing who I was, they act cocky and snicked at me. " Who are you Bitch? A nobody like you is looking for our boss? Oh, you must be the new Queen's subordinate right? HAHAHA! Why? Knowing that the Queen is close with our boss, you want to get close too?! Keep on dreaming! He won't even glance at you! HAHAHA!" Well, it's an understatement that they don't know who I am since it's the first time I'm visiting Dex's building but the thought that they are doing this knowing me as the Queen's subordinate is unacceptable. That will be counted as an indirect insult.I scoff at them as I said, " You talk down on me knowing I'm the Queen's subordinate. Have you seen the face of the Queen before? What a nerve you had. What will you do if I'm the
The building of Mirage took more or less 3 months, during that time, the team are busy recruiting and training at the same time, I and Vanessa tried to tour around ELICO. It really is a night district. During the day, the road is almost empty just with a couple of stores open. Some cars and people were around for either a cafe or a bookstore. There are only three malls in the area and there is nothing iconic around. No wonder this whole time no one wants this place. But for me, it's perfect. Especially for the preparation of Shallow Rail, this location is the best hideout since it's the furthest and nearest to Mark's Location. Since we're crashing in Dex's place the members all goes familiar with each other. But Dex was rarely in since he does a lot of missions. I haven't been seeing mark lately too. Today in particular was quiet. I have no schedule and was very bored so I decide to walk around the mall near here. It's been a while since I goes to the mall. I'll get so
It's been half a year since the time I make my division official. Mirage is now built and the team is well prepared. We regularly take missions and I put Alice in a task to manage the base and the whole ELICO. Big decisions are still under my approval but other than that, it's now self-operating. These days the activity of Grey Howl is rising. I guess they're up to something this time. They have been quiet for quite a while so this is not that much of a surprise.Luna and Yuki have grown big now and they are super adorable. The place stays lively since they are there to make a mess. We had meetings every week for evaluations and to decide our next move. Vanessa is now out of my suspicion list and has become my trusted aide. Yes, my team knows about Shallow Rail since that's the purpose why I created them. I discuss the development of Shallow Rail with Mark and Dexter once a month, usually at the end of the month. Having Tim keep us on hawk-eye surveillance on each and every o
Jacob's Point of view,The gang has been busy planning the second strike and making sure everything is according to plan. Since BlackJack has Tim as their intelligence agent to track each of our moves, it's hard to make a subtle move. Same as how we know each and every one of their main personnel, they also know ours. With our system of Tattoo symbols, it's quite easy to recognize us. But without this, it will be hard to identify our men. And just this morning, I received a report that our hired scout was killed.Lucas suggest that we hired Broke Tena that is known as one of the best freelance assassins to help us scout the enemy. Since he is a hired merchant, Tim wouldn't be able to fully track him. I never thought that he would move this fast. With Broke lost, we're back to square one since we couldn't get any intel. But it doesn't mean that will stop us. Some men are making small havoc in their territory to avert their attention to our big plan. Forum 094 is v
I woke up feeling comfy and cool but it was too quiet and there was a smell of lavender which was strange since I have pets in my room. I felt my eyelids heavy and my mouth dry but despite that, I tried to open my eyes and move my body which feels as stiff as a stick. With all the effort my body can exert I finally manage to open my eyes, it was an unfamiliar room that seemed like it belong to guys, the monochrome and classy yet masculine vibe. The room was filled with black colour and the dim light from the lamp with a surprisingly cute air purifier shaped like a cat with golden ears. It's as if that air purifier doesn't fit with the overall design of the room. I look around and see no one was there but it's weird since if I got home drunk, Alice is there, sober enough to bring me back to my room safely. Just when I was drowning in my thought, the door slowly opened. It's as if whoever is opening the door wanted it to be as quiet as possible in order to not disturb anyone who's in t
I froze and thought, 'Oh shit, why does the topic go there? but if I suddenly change, I'm fucked.' So the only thing I could think of was just to laugh it off and act like he was making a joke. "Omg Kev, what do you mean mafia. Do they even exist nowadays? The government and the police force are now backed up with tons of technology. Those crime organisations are now playing the invisible games. We don't see them nowadays. Are you drunk on action movies?" I said as I sip my mojito. He stayed silent as if he was still suspicious but then he sigh and put his hand on my waist pulling me closer. "Lily, don't say that. Are you being threatened to work there? Don't tell me you were forced to be a prostitute? are you scammed and get chased by the loan sharks? Dangers are always around. You might not know it but maybe the person you're working with is a dangerous organization and yes, those types of organizations you see in fictional novels and action movies exist even nowadays. Why don't yo
I woke in a body fit burgundy red dress with a side cut on the side and I use a knife holster to store my throwing knives. I wear smoky red make-up with burgundy lips, leave my hair straight, and use my classic gold geometric earring and some sweet golden heels. I was about to take my black channel purse before a knock comes through my door. It was Vanessa and Alice. Alice was dressed in a black tight dress with cleavage exposed and a smoky brown look along with a tight high ponytail. "Let's go, boss. We're gonna be late. It's 11 pm now."I was feeling anxious and excited, looking forward to either the thrill of danger or the touching reunion. It's more likely the first one that happens but regardless, I can't seem to calm my heart down. Currently, we're on our way to the place they usually hang out, Acedia. That's the name of one of the most popular clubs in the ELICO district. By the name itself, it's a place that disregards status and ranks. A place to let your inner demon out, let
I woke up with a rather unexplainable feeling yet it wasn't considered bad enough to ruin my morning. Today was finally the day, the time where I meet my target Kev Roman or Kevin Burrow. Never expect that we will have a reunion like this, truly. I take a slow, warm shower and filled my tub with woodland pine herb and mints bubble bath. I light up my white tea and sage scented candle to add a relaxing feel. Luna being a clingy bun she is, joined me in my bath. Seems like I've lost my privacy the moment I have this cat around. On the other hand, Yuki was not that intrigued by his curiosity, he mostly hang around the living room area. After finishing my bath, I dry myself and put on some make-up. I did some light natural make-up look and curled my hair. I finished up with a light pink matte and some gloss. After that, I go toward my closet and pull out two sets of outfits. There's a casual black tee with denim shorts and an oversize plaid shirt along with black classic c
As I reached ELICO, I entered Mirage, our building name, and goes straight to the office. all of the members have assembled and Vanessa stood behind my seat with her documents ready. I sat right down and the meeting started. "We've found a big clue on Lost Eden, Our three target is Kevin Berrow, Freed Dilton, and Bryan Knell. We won't be going for all three instead our focus is Kevin Berrow. You can get his detail from Vanessa after this meeting but for now, we have to track his location. He's a lone wolf so he usually goes alone. But, there's a chance he's with Freed since Freed can be said as Kevin's babysitter. We don't have to worry about Bryan since he's just a plain psycho with pride as tall as Mount Everest. Different from the other two that have somewhat a relation Bryan is alone. We decide to leave that to Mark and Tim. If by chance Freed and Kevin are together, don't charge in, instead of retreat back and let me do a solo operation." But as I said those Alice abrup
The meeting has been concluded and we're all getting up to leave. But seeing that there was three prey we needed to hunt I called out to Tim and Dexter along with Mark. "Guys, Can we all talk for a while. I think this is something that's necessary." They all look at each other, confused about what I mean but then nod in agreement as they follow along.We go to Tim's office since it's the nearest to the Hall. We took our seats and then all eyes are on me. I sigh before I started talking. It was nerve-wracking to have all eyes on me even tho it was just three people. "Okay, it's been decided that we have three people to hunt but so far we don't have enough information on who we're hunting. There's a saying 'in order to defeat your enemy you must know your enemy' so-" I was cut off by Tim as he shockingly said"Wait wait, did you just quote Sun Tzu? For real?!" I was baffled at his words since Sun Tzu is a famous figure. Who didn't know him? "What's wrong with that? Who doesn't k
I was shocked seeing their reaction since I thought they were just playing some crack code. I come in seeing them argue about it like a child as if they're just playing or joking around. But then the moment I cracked the code, their face turn pale due to shock at the same time their eyes lit in excitement. This must be a big lead since they look like a baby that finally got his candy after crying for decades. Tim immediately dives into a mountain of documents, he scrambles through his documents, shoving and throwing them around. When he finally found it we find three names which are Kevin Berrow, Freed Dilton, and Bryan Knell. These names don't sound familiar to me but then the moment they mention 'Lost Eden'. I somehow got the guise of it. These three must be someone that's crucial in finding whatever it is we need to find."Liliane, Go and call everyone to the meeting room, it starts in 30 minutes. Make sure everyone is there." Tim said as he once again buried himself
Still on Mikael's PerspectiveHe was telling a lot of information after getting beaten up half dead but he never answer the basic question ask which is his name. "Alright, that's good for now-" I said as drop the bat down but then he cut me off, "How do you know I won't lie?" I stop on my track and scoff at him, it's so funny to think he would bring this question now out of all time. "Tell us your name." He stayed quiet for a while before telling me. "I'm Danny Lance. now answer me. How?"I looked at him for a good minute before answering him, " Do you think we're stupid? We have our own intel and from what you said it matches, logically thinking your words won't be a lie unless you completely fanaticize your answer." after hearing my words, the baffled look on his face gives me an extra bit of satisfaction. "Good, now! one last question, Where's the money, Danny?" I continued.He flinches at my question but I don't give a fuck at this point because this que
Mikael's Point of View,I was panting while being held back by Wuying. I shrugged him off as he was put back on his chair. I was filled with rage as he insult not only me but my country. In terms of mafia life, our country's origin represents who we are as an entity, that's why each mafia will harbor at least one or two of its country's culture as a worm of identity. With him insulting my country is the same as insulting my whole organization. I walk towards him as I bend down and hold his bruised face. "You fuckin bitch! Don't mess with me fucker. Tell us what you know or you'll wish I kill you right now."He chuckled at my threat as he spits his blood out and said, "Why? you're going to use that invisible torture thing? Do you think I'm afraid? You need me in order to find out who's behind this and you also need me to crack that code you found on the safe. Why do you think it's this easy to find the clue? Let's strike a deal instead. Unless you wanna kill me and lose
