Chapter 736 - Seven Hundred And Thirty-six: Kill Them All
The third point of view:
Mikhail walked into the base once more with stern strides. His jaw was clenched and his face was with a neutral expression. Today was the day the Falcon mob gave him the result of the verdict and he was sure as hell wasn\'t taking no for an answer. He lost one of his heirs and as they knew as well, it was blood for blood.
"This way," They directed him to the hall where the meeting was to be held, and this time there was an additional presence, Sakuzi Valentino III, the man he had initially hoped to meet.
"Only one enters," They said to his men who tried to come in with him.
His men stared at him - Mikhail - questioningly and he gestured at them to comply with the rules. If anything were to happen to him here, they already knew what to do.
"Greetings," Mikhail cupped his palms.
Valentino merely nodded his head as acknowledgment while Emerald sat down with an indifferent attitude. He didn\'t like Mikhail and didn\'t bother to hide it.
"It\'s nice to see the original Sakuzi," Mikhail said, hinting at the fact that Emerald is not a true Sakuzi by ancestry - he was just adopted.
"You don\'t know how worthy I am to see you in fresh, you were quite an inspiration to me when I was younger," He flattered him.
He chuckled, "This old man is delighted to see a fan," Sakuzi called himself and then gestured to his staff who served them drinks before the conversation began.
Mikhail accepted the drink without fear of being poisoned. The Falcon mob doesn\'t have a record of poisoning their visitors, that would be cowardly and would ruin their reputation.
Just like in showbiz, reputation was everything in the underworld as well. The Falcon mob had a fearsome reputation built by their predecessors and had to keep up with the image, hence stabbing him in the back would pass the message that they were scared of the blood cobra in the first place.
"I\'m sure your heir must have told you the reason for my visit and I was told to return today for an answer," Mikhail brought up the reason for his coming without wasting time.
"Yes," Valentino answered, relaxing into his seat.
Mikhail cocked a brow, "And the answer is..... ?"
"No," Sakuzi said without blinking an eye.
"What?" Mikhail didn\'t seem to have heard him.
"In one word," Emerald choose to speak this time, "We are not handing Nemesis over to you,"
Mikhail didn\'t say anything, he just rubbed his nose and ran his hands through his golden beards as he tried to comprehend what they said.
"So you\'re trying to say that you would rather go to war with me than hand a woman that murdered my son as I requested,"
"You\'ve murdered several other women and you knew how risky trafficking women and children were in the first place. Most underworld governing bodies don\'t allow that anymore but you choose to trade in that and now you bear the consequences all alone,"
Sakuzi went on, "But of course, as a man who\'s experienced losing his son once to the cold hands of death, I empathize with you and I\'m willing to compensate you for the loss. What other favors do you want from me?"
But Mikhail sneered, "Your younger self was much better,"
"Ah, right," Sakuzi remembered, "You took one or two lessons from my younger self..." He sighed, "No wonder you turned out this way,"
"You\'ve grown weak, why are you protecting her? Is she your mistress?" Mikhail laughed mockingly, "I heard young women give old men the best orgasm,"
"Andrew, no!" Emerald shouted as Andrew stalked over to Mikhail and gave him an unexpected punch.
However before he could do real damage like pulling the trigger at the smug bastard, the other men had taken hold of him.
"Let me go!" Andrew screamed, kicking the air furiously, "I need to teach that fool a lesson!"
"Take him out of here!" Emerald ordered them. He shouldn\'t have brought Andrew here when he knew he was quite sensitive in matters concerning Maggie. He glared at Mikhail that was wiping away the blood on his lips.
"So the slut belongs to that one, my bad," Mikhail was not remorseful at all.
Emerald clenched his fist, "We\'ve made our stand clear so you can leave now and come at us with all you have," He ordered.
Mikhail stood up from his seat, but instead of leaving, he announced, "I heard you have a beautiful family and a handsome son, probably the heir to this empire,"
At once Emerald stiffened, however, he composed himself. Giving the asshole a reaction wasn\'t worth it, "What are you trying to say?"
"I told you, it\'s either Nemesis or we go to war," He sighed, "I didn\'t want to do this but you forced my hands and the distraction was all I needed. No bad blood Emerald but you should feel -"
"Before you continue, you should answer your call first," Emerald interrupted him and Mikhail looked down to discover that his phone was indeed ringing.
Mikhail pulled out his phone from the pocket of his pants and answered the call, "Hello?"
"Boss! We are under attack!" was the first statement he heard when he answered.
Mikhail stiffened, numerous questions going through his head. What was going on? However, before he could ask more questions, a painful moan was heard with the sound of strong bullets. The line went dead.
He glanced up with horror on his face, "What did you -?!"
"Before you say a word, I hope you withdraw whatever troops you sent to my place. Although I could help you incinerate them, my wife is not exactly a fan of violence. So I\'ll let you do the needful, peacefully as you retain the few men you have left now the others are gone, " Emerald said politely - and he never does politely.
Mikhail\'s mind was in turmoil right now but you still managed to turn and alert only the guard that had come in with him who typed something quickly on his phone.
"And now, let\'s hope they do as you say, or else you would be left with little or no guards at all," Emerald hinted he would kill them all if they\'ve launched an attack already. So he called his troops at home and it was confirmed his family was safe.
"I\'m good," Emerald was now at ease.
"What did you do to my gang?!" Mikhail finally screamed.
