Mr. Big was sitting in one of his secret hideout which was known only to his most trusted people. One of his lackeys came to his side and said in a very low voice, "Boss, there is a new group gaining power fast in this country. They are working with alias names, Hawk and Wolf, and are willing to meet us and be a.s.sociates with us. They are a small group of highly ruthless and deadly mercenaries with them. Look very promising if we look at their previous works. I think we must meet them once."Mr. Big listened to his lackey and kept his gla.s.s of red wine on the table in front. He took a deep drag from the cigarette that he held in his right hand and closed his eyes, thinking of something.
After a while, he opened his eyes and exhaling all the smoke he replied, "Okay, call them over, lets see how promising they would be for our business here as I soon want to move out from this country already."
Ryu and the team set off to meet Mr. Big"s group to lure them by their offer of a better deal in huge quant.i.ty of arms and even drugs.
Ryu had a mask on his face and so did all other team members. They all were walking in a narrow alley led by a man who took them in a shabby place that looked like the ruins of a old house.
Once they entered the main door of the house, a large group of men were present there.
Ryu and his team didn"t flinch at all and kept their arrogant and strong demeanor as it was taking all those men by surprise.
They had all seen them for the first time and their strong aura was enough for them to understand that this group was here to stay and not to play and lose.
The masked leader of the group was the most intimidating of them all. But not even a single inch of his face was exposed to even find out who this tall, muscular, strong man was.
This was how the underworld goes.
Most of them wore a mask on their faces to hide their ident.i.ties. They would only show up themselves if they already knew each other for a considerable long period of time, a guarantee that both trusted each other.
Ryu had even practiced hard to change his voice so Old Man Skull would not recognized him when they met.
The security in the house of Mr. Big was very tight and each of them was checked in and out,
They were allowed when no recorders and anything that could prove them to be spies of some government agencies or enemy gangs were found on them.
When asked to leave their weapons aside, Ryu"s team refused… and well, this was the norm for the security of the new small team… also for Mr. Big"s gang they were in their own turf so they were not worried at all about Ryu"s team carrying weapons.
No wonder, the military group were having a hard time to wipe all the underground groups.
They were all meticulous in protecting their ident.i.ty.
After the scanning, only Ryu aka Hawk and Wolf were escorted inside a secret room where Mr. Big was sitting on a big chair like a king on his throne surrounded by his bodyguards.
"Welcome to our booming business world. I heard you two are sworn brothers, Hawk and w
Wolf? Why do the alias Hawk sounds sissy to me though?" Then Mr. Big"s laugh roared inside the room while his bodyguards followed him laughing aloud making fun of them.
Intended to intimidate the two and make them more submissive in front of them, their first pressure attack didn"t quite work on the two guys and Ryu instead said, "Then why do the alias Big sounds the opposite to me? Are you Small in your size perhaps?" mocking the king in the underworld.
The bodyguards of Mr. Big moved, about to attack the two new gangsters in front.
"What? Is this how Mr. Big welcomes his guests with a big prospect in this business? Mr. Big, let me make it clear to you, we are here for business with you. We could also go to Mr. Gold who is about to visit this country next week, but we decided to meet you first because of the fairness you offer in business. I have a fair good deal in arms and ammunitions to offer as well as the drug business is also going to be our forte soon." Wolf said in confidence that made Mr. Big jeered.
"You are just a boy and I don"t think getting ahead of yourself that early will convince me." Mr. Big said in an arched brow.
Then one of his bodyguards entered the room and whispered something to Mr. Big that made him creased his forehead.
"Alright… Gentlemen… Calm down and be seated. Let me hear your offers then and see how good it is." Mr. Big said as he suddenly changed his expression.
Ryu started the discussion as planned.
"Are you sure about this order? Because it"s quite big for a new comer gang like yours?" Mr. Big asked.
"No it"s not. I might be new, but I have my ways. Moreover, it is just the starting and later we will be expanding our supply in other countries and continents as well. We are new but confident to our future operations. Even we underworld have our bit of honest and fair deals and I strive by that to be one of the best suppliers soon." Said Ryu.
Mr. Big laughed and said, "Alright we will entrust you with a small project first and see your quality of things as well as your promptness in supplying before we do a big deal with you. I am not stupid to believe mere reports unless I experience real transactions myself."
Then the discussion went on… and they reached the final agreement.
Days pa.s.sed and all was going well so far.
Hawk"s Group were making a name in the underworld market with honest dealing and gradually Shawn"s name was becoming non-existent in the underworld and was replaced by Hawk and Wolf, who had become renowned in a short period of time.
Even though they were new they were throwing a large sum of money and the large transactions they were having with other groups also added to their glory...
The only one that"s left behind was Old Man Skull"s group because of the constant blows they were given by the Old Ken recently.
