Inside a large library in one of the mansions at the borders of Paris which is completely surrounded by waters...
A young man sat on one of the chairs reading through historical books...
His fingers moved every two minutes to turn over the page...
He had a spectacles on which rested on his nose bridge...

Despite the fact that he wasn't wearing anything special he still had the unique aura of an emperor...
The simple turtle necked white long sleeve top and black trousers didn't stop his beauty from being ensued...
He was the complete definition of a French beauty with his curly black hair and green orbs...
He sipped from his cup of coffee every five minutes...
All his movements were very graceful...
Even the minutes ones were orderly...
The young man continued studying undisturbed for some minutes until a knock was heard at the door.
" Come in... " His voice carried the aura of a king with it...
Soon the door was opened and a man in his early thirties walked in...
Unlike the other man, he looked rather Asian than french...
He was of average height and had brownish hair...
" Salut, Your Majesty. " The man greeted with a bow.
" State your purpose.... " The other man who hated to be disturbed when reading spoke in an impatient voice.
" Monsieur, Aiden called... "
That single statement, made the other man alerted.
" Aiden Evans? " He inquired to confirm.
" Yes, Monsieur. "
" Hand me the phone. " He instructed and the other man moved closer to him and handed him the phone.
" You can go now... You are dismissed. "
The man didn't needed a further instruction as he left the room immediately closing the door behind him...
Meanwhile, The man who was non other than, Aiden's Childhood friend, Francis Everett.... The one and only, King of the Mafia clan.
He was often regarded to as, Your Majesty or Emperor by his subodinates and other people.
Despite his position as the king of the mafia clan, he wasn't cruel to his subordinates...
But, one thing that made him pissed most of the time is when he got Interrupted while reading.
Knowing this...
His subordinate always made sure he was left undisturbed whenever he was reading...
Only if it was very urgent...
Like, Aiden Evans calling...
On then will they have the effrontery to interrupt him...
Francis swirled his chair around before picking up, Aiden's call...

" Empereur.... " Aiden's voice was heard from the other end...
Unlike others, he addressed, Francis in French as emperor.
" President Evans... To what do I owe this call? " Francis chuckled.
To every one else, he was this cold and ruthless emperor...
But to his one and only childhood friend, he was a different person.
Once those who knew of their close relationship thought they were in some kind of relationship...
As the both of them were both Eligible bachelors...
And from others point of view, they both weren't searching for a life partner...
It was like they were completely okay being single...
" How have you been? " Aiden inquired rather than answering him...
" Good. How has my baby girl being? " He was obviously referring to, Mary...
" She's okay... "
" Hm... I bet you are good too from your tone of voice. "
" Yeah... So I need a favor from you. "
" Quit the formalities... Get straight to the point. "
" Well.... " Aiden went further to explain the whole situation to him clearly... Without hiding any single detail.
" Oh... Seems like, Jude is really interested in this little girl for him to have bought her at such an exorbitant price. " Francis commented thoughtfully.
" Yeah... "
" Hm... Getting her from him won't be easy. But I'll see what I can do. "
" I know you will... Merci. "
" You shouldn't thank me yet... In the rule of mafia there is always a price for everything. "
" I know that... I trust you. "
" Trust is a big word. I'll try not to let you down... "
" I know you won't. "
" Hm... Is that all? "
" Sure... You can get back to reading your historical books. " Aiden said with a chuckle...
" I'll. Take care..."
" You too... "
Francis immediately got back to reading as soon as the call was disconnected.
When he was done with the book hours later, he took a break and used the time to send a message to some of his secret subordinates...
The message was simple.
: Get everything you can on, Jude Chan...
: Yes, Emperor...
Just a short message and, Jude Chan's fate was already sealed...
He wouldn't even know what hit him when the time comes...
He had been doing a lot of things and getting away with it...
But not this time...
Because he had chosen the wrong person...
Too bad...
