Tears rolled down Fenriz's face as he watched the video of Jasper's broadcast on his phone. Seeing his children living well and good settled his troubled mind and he felt so relieved.
"Thanks so much Jasper. I didn't know you to be so good. On this day, I owe you one." he uttered with nothing but sincerity.
"Hey, Fenriz." a guy of about the same age as Fenriz called from behind and he quickly hid the video, scrolling away from it to some other video.
"What is it, Terry?" he turned his swivel chair to face the guy with his weight.
"See this. This is what you asked me to check for you. The two kids got adopted by one of the richest businessman in Bedoiun."
"I see, thanks for your hard work." he said, staring at the documents in Terry's hand. Terry became Fenriz's right-hand man since diapers. The two were best friends who shared everything together and went on missions together. They got praised together after a victory and they got punished together for crimes and disobedience. They cover up each other's crime and assist each other whenever needed. Their friendship makes every member of the Vladimir Clan envious.
However, things began to change between them when Fenriz began dating Ariana. An incident occured that made him suspicious of Terry and afterwards, he began recoiling to himself. He didn't tell him about things like before and Terry noticed. Terry once confronted Jasper about it, and Jasper gave the excuse of being so busy for gists to ward him off. How his relationship with Ariana turned out, he hid from Terry.
"But, If I may ask, why do you need information about them? Do you have any relation with them!" Terry questioned, staring intently at the pictures in his hand. Fenriz grew nervous and quickly fakes a cough to divert Terry's attention.
"They are just some tools I need to complete some things. All I needed was their whereabout. Apart from that, I don't have anything to do with them."
"But why do I think, the younger one looks like you?" Terry suggested. Fenriz's countenance changed at the mention of the resemblance.
"How does he look like me? Are you sure your eyes are working perfectly fine?"
"Of course, they are. He has your eyes, sincerely."
"What nonsense are you spewing out of your mouth? Do you want me to practice gunshooting with your head as the target?" Fenriz threatened knowing that was one of Terry's weakness. The first time such was carried out on him, he peed in his pants and was mocked by the whole clan members for weeks.
"Oh no! You can't do that." Terry replied, daring Fenriz.
"Really? I guess I have to show you what I can do" he opened a nearby drawer, bringing out a revolver. Seeing the likely seriousness in Jasper's face, Terry surrendered.
"I mean I can't stand you doing that to me, I didn't.."
Fenriz lowered the weapon and returned it to it's temporary abode.
"You should caution yourself next time, else...."
"Sure, I dare not offend you again." he ran away immediately without looking back while Jasper chuckled.
Immediately Terry left, Elena came to Jasper wearing a white shirt and a white jean trousers with an hat on her head and a pair black leather boots that almost reached her knee.
"How have you been, baby?" she hugged his standing figure, raising her right leg to his waist to the point that her knee was touching his dick from his trousers. She was trying to stair something up in him.
Fenriz pushed her back with a light push of his hand.
"I've told you several times not to try that shit with me. You should know I will never have sex with you no matter what?"
"That was your claim years ago too, remember? You had sex with me and lost your girlfriend for good back then"
"If not because of your petty scheme, It wouldn't have happened!" Fenriz's wounded heart began to bleed again as Elena brought back memories of the past to him.
Back when Fenriz was in college, he planned an outing with his best friends, but the weather turned out bad and they couldn't go home. That night, Fenriz was supposed to stay in the same room with Arianna, but Elena played smarter using one of Fenriz's friends to achieve her dangerous desires. She disguised herself as Ariana laying on the bed before he entered. Drunk Fenriz began to have illusions which was quite unlike him and he had sex with Elena in the process only to wake up and find that Ariana was gone. Gone faraway from him. That was where his problem with his loved one began. She had seen him that night while he was having fun with Elena.
"You enjoyed it back then, didn't you?" Elena whispered in his ears.
"If you want save your ass right now, you have to leave this place."
She moved closer to him once again, placing her arms on his shoulders, trying to get him to look at her.
"Why aren't you denying the fact that you enjoyed it. Or, do you want another moment right now? Are you thinking of me under your agile body? Should I......?"
"You shouldn't do anything, Elena. I enjoyed it only because I thought it was my love. I had no idea it was someone who fills me with disgust."
"That says it all. My pussy is sweeter than hers, right?"
"Are you insane? Who are you to compare yourself to her. In years to come, she's always going to be a million times better than you." he pushed her away from him hardly that she hit her back on the door, but for the fact that she's also takes part in the mafia activities, such action was less harmful to her.
"Well, father asked me to tell you that you will be leading the plan for today. Since I agreed to be the spy, I will be going to the casino today and you are coming with me to track things."
"Whatever, you can leave. I got your message." he replied simply.
Elena smirks at him, blowing him a kiss in the air and Terry rushed in. Sweat was all over his forehead and he was panting heavily like someone who just completed a thousand mile race.
"What is it, why are you in haste?" Fenriz asked, looking at him from head to toe.
"There's going to be a mafia ball today. I just got the news" he announced.
"Mafia ball?" Elena and Fenriz asked in unison. "Out of the blue?"
"That was how I got the news and it has been confirmed. It is no false news."
Fenriz crossed his arm on his chest and the other arm was used to rub his chin. He was thinking. The mafia ball is a huge event where all mafia bosses and Dons are going to be present. It occurs annually and the host of the party would be decided after a bid between the Dons during one of the monthly sit-downs. But having a ball out of the blue without the knowledge of the Vladimirs was something strange that has never happened before.
"Why are we just hearing about this?" Fenriz lowered his head, still thinking.
"It's indeed strange. I guess, it's not going to be a mere a party this time around. Something else is involved I think." Terry said as he wiped off the sweat on his face with an handkerchief he removed from his pocket.
"I found it strange too and I asked around before coming to tell you. No one knows exactly how it all happened, but one thing is sure."
"Which is!"
"The Sinclairs are coming."
"As expected. Since they are so powerful now, I bet they won't want to miss out on such avenue to show their authority."
"Exactly what I mean, Fenriz. They never showed up at such events in the past. Coming to the event, we can use this opportunity to get information about them."
"That's a good idea, we might as well make use of this to our advantage. However, we have to tread lightly for our safety. We don't know what going to happen over there. This matter is not as simple as it seems."
"It's six p.m already, we have to get prepared." Elena chipped in.
"Terry, go inform the boss about the latest update. There is a change of plan."
"Elena, you have to push away your silly thoughts at the moment. We've got business at hand." Fenriz hurried to his drawer, bringing out a pistol and a revolver. He cleaned it with a white handkerchief and loaded the weapons with new bullets. He tucked the weapons into his pockets, covering them up with his shirt.
"It's time to set out" Elena picked up a small pistol from. Fenriz's rack of weapons. She wasn't given any personal one for some reasons. Whenever they're going on a mission, she has to collect it from either Fenriz or Collins.
"The two walked rhythmically, stepping out of the mansion as a tinted black Mercedes-Benz pulled over at the entrance.
"As we set out, death over threats, cooperation is the key, the boss lay the orders." that was one of their slogans.
