As Liam left to deal with the brawlers, Alexa stood and walked over to Andrew. He turned to her and examined her from head to toe. “You did well Alexa. Your skills are improving quickly.”
He reached into his pocket and withdrew a small pill. “This is the cleanse pill I gave the men at the training site. It is the first level and will help purify your body of anything that is preventing you from advancing. From there we can make you even stronger. This will also help you recover from today. I warn you, depending on what is in your body, it can be very unpleasant at first but after, the results are normally worth it.”
Alexa nodded and took the pill.
To Andrew’s astonishment however, she had minimal side effects like the men had experienced.
Alexa looked up after a few minutes and said “I feel more energized! As for side effects it was not bad.”
Andrew was stunned. “the men writhed on the ground for 30 minutes!”
Alexa laugh
Later in the evening, in a spa near the mountainous slopes north of Durres, none other than Shane Eisen sat in a steaming pool with a scantily clad call girl draped across his lap. “Brother Maahes, tell me, how goes our business?” “It is Maahas to you, Shane. We have never been nor ever will be “Brothers”. And you did not inform me that the site you wanted targeted was so well guarded. I lost eight men in that first visit. Their payment will come out of your hide if you do not provide an adequate explanation.” Shane spluttered, “It's not my fault if your men could not handle a few construction workers.” “It will cost you for their lives, but in the end, I uphold my word. I have sent a larger force and will see them dealt with,” assured Maahas, relaxing back into his own pool. Just then a messenger rushed in, face red, “my lord! It's bad!” “Speak.” “My lord, our men! A whole lot of them have been bound and gagged in the city squ
Andrew answered Liam’s call, listened and said “very well, leave his men tied to the public center. Make it clear who they belong to and the price on their head. 11 hours remain Liam.” before he hung up just as the doorbell to his suite rang. He had taken a shower and was resting in the sitting room so he answered the door to find Natalia Wyvrena. “Hello, would you be Mr. Andrew?” “Yes.” “Hello, I am Natalia Wyvrena. May we speak?” “I am a bit busy, but I have a short window.” Andrew led her to the sitting room where there was a dining table to worked well as a small conference desk. Natalia Wyvrena introduced herself as the reginal director of customer relations for the Bank of Dragard. “I am responsible for all of Placida, Coutre and Devos. I wanted to expend my personal services to you if you have any needs. As one of the banks largest depositors, I am of course on call for you 24/7.” ‘one of’ snickered Raya ‘try the s
The next morning, Andrew and Alexa both woke, worry evident on their faces as they ate breakfast. Roisin had been missing for 12 hours now, and Maahas had not returned her or claimed his men. “Andrew…” Alexa hedged as they ate breakfast, the chair to the left noticeably for its emptiness, “We are going to get her back, right?” Andrew pondered his eggs as he thought. “Liam has had men out all night. The city knows we are looking. He should have a location for Maahas for me shortly. when the call comes, we will take the men, and visit his lair in person,” Andrew said, trying hard to push steel into his words. Alexa glanced at the empty chair, and pushed food around her plate. Andrew’s phone rang and they both jumped. “Liam, tell me you have something.” On the other end of the line, “Maahas refused to pay, and there has been no word. I have confirmed that the men were indeed members of Maahas’ gang, but there is no sighting of Roisin. Cal

It did not take long for the men to coax the information out of Maahas men after they saw what was left of their immortal leader. Once they had the address, Andrew quickly led the men down the mountain, leaving half behind to guard Maahas men until the local authority could finally arrive and deal with them. At the warehouse, it only had three men inside, sitting around a bloody-faced Darren. Andrew flicked his finger, and the fifteen men with him sprang into action, pummeling the surprised men into bloody pulp. “Leave them alive.” Called Andrew, a bit too late to save the men from most of their injuries. The bodies were stacked to the side as Andrew knelt before Darren. “Rose?” came the blood-filled wheeze. “She is fine, we have her. Now, hand on a minute while I examine you.” Andrew untied Darren as Raya sensed his injuries through Andrew's touch. ‘Several broken ribs and that jaw is dislocated. Your pill should h
The next day, Andrew spend several hours drilling Alexa. He continued to employ the 30 top trainees in her workout and pushed all of them to new limits. As a unit, they were growing at a rate that would be alarming to normal people. If the common brawlers were to meet this group of 30, it would be enough to make them shit themselves. Led by Alexa, this pack of wolves were becoming an unstoppable rabid force that would destroy any who dared cross their path. Unless….. that person happened to be Andrew! “AGAIN!” came the command. 30 warriors surrounded Andrew as Alexa paced around the outside looking for an opening. 31 verse one was hard odds but for Andrew, this was amazing training. Attacks coming from all sides meant he had to be on the top of his game. Not to mention that now these men were trained by himself personally, they were getting to know his every move and tell. He still outclassed them, but they gave him something to work for. Alexa on the other hand was
On the far side of town, Shane Eisen’s phone rang. Glancing down, it was his father, Matthew Eisen, calling. “Dad, why are you calling?” “you need to get over to the office. Something is not right!” said Matthew. Shane was nervous in his heart as he heard his dad’s tone and wondered what might be wrong at the company, not knowing for sure, and even wondering if the millions he had used to sabotage the construction site had been discovered. Shane rushed off to the Eisen Group offices and when he entered Matthews regal office, with a worried look he said “Dad, what’s wrong? I rushed right over! Did Roisin or someone embarrass us again?” Matthew frowned. “No, its not that little harlot. Don’t mention her here! No, someone has stolen over 5 million from the corporate accounts!” Shit! Matthew never looked at the accounts! How would he know to? Did Maahes drop a hint to spite him? What a waste of a being! “5 million?! who
The next day Andrew awoke and walked with Alexa and Roisin down to breakfast. “Roisin, are things going well at the site? The new workers behaving still?” “Yes sir! Since I came back to work, I have been able to get several local businesses to work on a daily rotation to bring food to the site. It has worked out really well, and the whole staff seem thrilled to have good food each day. They have all been working really hard,” she replied excitedly. Andrew smiled as he saw her joy. “any word on the Dragon’s Lair? While a hotel is adequate, it is not perfect for long-term staying.” Asked Andrew. Indeed, while he was pleased with the accommodations, it grated on him to always have strange people around him. “I will check with Miss Croft and the community leader. It should not be long now.” She replied. “Please keep us posted, it will be good to move to quieter accommodations.” Both Alexa and Roisin flushed a bit at this. Both had been sec
