“Master, I will gist you when we get home. First, let us lay waste to this guy. He deserves to die, he dares to ambush you with three hundred men, we should kill him.”Aiden’s gaze stayed on the man for five seconds before moving on back to Hector.“We cannot kill him,” Aiden responded.“Why?”Romano began to laugh immediately after Hector inquired.“Looks like your boss knows the use for a thing once he sees it. Do you think this is the first time I have been in this situation, this is not the first time I’ve lost but yet here I am standing strong, outlasting every situation.Aiden frowned as Romano laughed.He looked down at the tab sneering up at him.[SIDE QUEST]Uncover the secret that Hector has discovered before he dies.QUEST REWARD: +3 RED CARDSQUEST FAILURE: - 12 LEVELS, CASH REWARDS ON ALL QUESTS WILL BE BANNED FOR 72 HOURS.[SECOND SIDE QUEST]Win Romano to your side so that you will have access to the information he has.QUEST REWARD: +5 LEVELS, +3 RED CARDS.QUEST FAILU
A lot has happened but for all that Aiden cared about, all that event was nothing. If he learned anything from it—it was the fact that the time for them to stay operating in the shadows has neared its end, they were going to join the annoying struggles of gangs now. Normally, Aiden thought that he could control this gang life, and make it a bit touche but all that was a mistake on his part.He had no choice, if his family was going to continue to operate as a gang, they needed to reveal themselves to the criminal world. The stains that Aiden was trying to avoid were inevitable.And so, for the first time in a long time, the first ten gathered at one place to decide on the thing they had deemed most important.THE NAME OF THE FAMILY.“Honestly, I used to think we had a name or something, what about that one? What’s it called again… there’s this one they call us back in Birmingham, was it Natu, Nati?” Hendrick cocked his head left and right as he spat ridiculous guesses.“You mean Naita
Hector and Eduard stood five meters away from each other, with their glares deadly locked on each other. Hector’s newly acquired strength surged through his veins, invigorating his body. His body rippled beneath his skin with a might that he had never once felt until a few days ago when facing Romano.He stood with an air of invincibility, confident that his newfound power will grant him victory.Eduard on the other hand, exuded a calm yet commanding presence.Eduard was different from the others for a reason, even Kyungja whom one could consider a psychopath couldn’t come close to him. He was notorious in the most honorable way.He was feared because of his past-- truth be told no one had witnessed him fight. It is even harder to see him fight because he does not have an attack-based gang.Aiden’s family had sub-gangs, and all of them had their specialty, for example, Hector had a gang that was focused on attack, and was known for wearing white suits and earned the name white knights
A victory well deserved. For those that had been harboring some kind of doubt of gut to challenge Eduard. It was now clear to them how much of a monster this man was. After all, the reason why he started the cleanup corps was to stay away from battles. To stay clear blood.But what was more of a topic than the ferocious Eduard is how Hector was able to put up a fight and even push him back on several occasions. They were all amazed, Hendrick’s laidback gaze at him had turned to a scrutiny gaze, one that carefully ascertained.It was satisfying for Hector, as he now felt seen by them.‘Finally’He said in his mind as he locked eyes with Hendrick.”Fine, I guess this speaks enough to anyone that wants to challenge the first three or the first five.” Aiden spoke looking at the humbled faces of the others. “Their abilities are the strongest in the whole of the gang.”One of Aiden’s personal guards walked closer to him at the gym and whispered something into his ear.“Ah, it seems we have
They all sat upright and readjusted themselves.“But before we do all that... I think it is necessary that I at the very least introduce some faces here. Like the two new faces apart from Chen”“Right on the money master. Who is this idol-looking girl? For some reason, she looks like a very famous idol I know.” Kyungja asked sticking her head closer to the direction of the pink-haired lady with a small round face and blue eyes. She was looking like a doll and beautiful indeed.”That is Nicki.”Kyungja retracted her head in shock as Aiden responded to her.“Nicki? Like the Nicki? The one that is the best rapper and the one that broke the billboard record with her debut album two years ago?” Kyungja asked, looking dazed.“Nice to meet you” The voluptuous young lady greeted her with a cute smile with a dimple embedded on both sides of her cheek.“Ah! Nick Skye?!!” Kyungja screamed as she finally realized she was in the presence of her favourite rapper. One that she couldn’t go a day with
“Look around you Witch, look around you well. Did you say ONLY lady again?” Eduard noted to her, emphasizing the ONLY.That is right, he was referring to the newest and now most beautiful member that even Kyungja herself revered.“You and I will get along well, I will think of you as an elder sister,” Nicki said as she soon perceived the death glare that Kyungja sent to her as if she had not just praised her a few moments ago.”Alright, that is enough diversion” Chen spoke. Politely, yet with an air commanding tone that turned made everyone obey without complaints.”Now, the Black Lagoon noticing us is indeed a good thing. One that will make it easier for us to project ourselves into the criminal and underground world without stress and with much impact.”“Also, the fact that we are plunging into that world does not mean we are becoming a part of it. I want to be sure, the guys I have worked with and trained can go into those kinds of places and not get themselves stained by the iniqu
Chen looked at Aiden, he was carefully trying to find out from his expression, if Aiden really had that part under control.‘Damnit, even now, I can’t read him.’Chen sighed and blinked slowly before giving in to Aiden’s request. His inability to read Aiden, to tell what he’s thinking has always been a bother for him. It was the same reason he blatantly fell for Aiden’s pretense during their first meeting at the club he worked at. It had never happened to him before, as a very experienced person, he is very proud of his sense of perception, but with Aiden, he oftentimes can’t confidently say the same.“If you insist master, then I suppose I cannot refuse.”“Yes!” Aiden and some others shouted happily.“But I have to take care of some things in Birmingham, after which I can fully move here.“That is a good one.”“I have a question” Hendrick raised his hand, inviting a hint of seriousness into the jovial scenery.“Speak Hendrick,” Aiden stated.“I understand the plan and it is so far a
The moon shone brightly in the night sky, casting an ethereal glow over the sleek, black Mercedes as it cut through the empty streets of the city. Aiden, dressed in a tailored suit, glanced at his rearview mirror, ensuring that no one was following him.He couldn’t be too careful when he was dealing with a psychopathic beauty like Kyungja. Leaving them behind amidst that important conversation was the only way he would have been able to get the free time he needed and visit his grandpa. As the city lights faded into the distance, Aiden's heart raced with anticipation. He had chosen to travel at night, not only to avoid any scandalous news that might arise from his sudden departure as he couldn’t tell where the media's eyes and ears were.And he knew better than anyone that when it came to matters regarding his grandpa who is his true family, the only one he had left- he had to be cautious at least for the old man’s safety.Aiden also wanted to ensure a sense of solitude on his journe
The following day, Aiden prepared to return to Canada and continue his hunt for the gang that took his parents from him.He had woken up at the crack of dawn full of vigour to start his manhunt. He had just finished packing his bags, his men already outside in the car, its engine on to keep it warm pending the time Aiden finishes with his father's friend.As Aiden's eyes skimmed round the room, his eyes landed on a small picture of his father and mother. His mother had been carry Aiden in her hands. Moving closer, Aiden inspected the picture. This was the first time he was seeing this picture as his grandfather didnt have it.He used a finger to trace their figure. Two of the most important people in his life reduced to nothing but memories frozen in photographs."That was during the time the mafia was after your father. He had come to me for a safe location which i had arranged for him. That was the last time i saw them. The next time i heard about them, it was news of their death. I
Then, the day they had been waiting for arrived. The head of the Black Lagoon syndicate was captured in Canada, drawn by the relentless attacks that had plagued his syndicate. As Aiden stood before him, his eyes ablaze with fury, he felt a cruel satisfaction in seeing the man who had taken his parents from him brought to justice.The room was dimly lit, the air thick with tension. The sound of rain tapping against the windows added an eerie rhythm to the atmosphere. Mishina Ren's eyes were cold and calculating, a stark contrast to the fire burning within Aiden's gaze.For years, Ren had eluded capture, always slipping through Aiden's fingers at the last moment. But tonight was different. Tonight, the odds were finally in Aiden's favor, and he was determined to make the most of it."Game over, Ren," Aiden's voice was laced with a lethal calmness. "You've caused enough pain. It's time to pay for your sins."Ren's lips curled into a chilling smile. "You're a persistent one, Aiden. But do
It was nightfall. The air was still, the surrounding eerily quiet. The usual night sounds were absent as though they had a premonition of what was to happen. Aiden walked in long strides towards a rundown motel. He had gotten intel that one of the remainjng Black lagoon comander was currently in there with a woman. He had evaded capture for sk long that he had began to drop his guard.He had been sighted in one of the clubs, bragging loudly about how he was as slippery as fish, difficult to catch.Soon after, his story had changed to how he had fought off his opponent's in their hundreds with just a baseball bat. With each change in story, he bought a drink and guzzler it down. He felt he had been lucky and all the commanders of the Black Lagoon was dead. To him, that meant that only he had access to the wealth of the Black Lagoon. He was going to cart away their riches and relocate to a quiet island, if possible buy the island and fortify it against intruders.Across the bar, a lady
By day, Aiden was the Chairman of Revenmar groups, breaking barriers and making waves in every industry they had projects in. He attended meetings and travelled to visit dignitaries who shouwed prospects of becoming investors.By night, he wrecked terror upon mafia families. Being the considerate and kind man that he was, he spared the innocent wives and children. Before staging an attack, he had his men do a thorough research about the family they were to attack.The punishments metted out was dependent on the gravity of their offences. Aiden was the judge and executioner. He understood that no mafia family was good, not even his but there were crimes he couldbt tolerate like human trafficking, rape, drug trafficking and reckless murders. Hence the research before attacking.It got so remarkable that crime rates reduced not only in Canada but also in other parts of the world. No government could pinpoint how the crime rate kept reducing drastically. Fear of the Naitatu plagued the hea

Early the next morning, even before the birds started chirping, Aiden was up and ready for his travel. He waited in the dark for the telltale sound of his chopper. At exactly 7 am, he heard the sound of the blades beating against the wind. Aiden had packed an overnight bag because he planned to stay till the next day. He vowed to uncover everything and every mystery that shrouded his early years and his father's past.Aiden made his way to the top of his building, using the stairs discreetly placed in his walk-in closet. He shouldered the door leading to the roof opened and stepped iut. His bag slung over his shoulder.Eduard stood there with three of his men. The moment he sighted his boss, he made to collect Aiden's bag which he refused with a shake of his head.A pilot sat in the cockpit. "How long is this flight going to be?" Aiden asked Eduard. He had chosen to travel early to avoid any delays on the way."It will take 6 hours sir. We will also have to touch base every two hours
The air was heavy with unspoken words as Aiden sat across from his grandfather, a palpable tension hanging between them. The room felt smaller, suffocating, as he gathered his courage to voice the question that had lingered in his heart for years.This was a few days after his eventual discharge from the hospital. Liam's trial had been swift because they had his confession. Every member of the Chrysanthemums Operation had been apprehended, facing different term sentences in prison. Gossamer shut down as news traveled far, causing its investors to pull out swiftly.Liam had been put on death parole, Aiden ensuring that his death happened sooner than later. The closure of Gossamer shot Revenmar to the top of the list of technology titans worldwide. It filled Aiden with pride as he was a core factor in making all these happen. After a few days of recuperating, Aiden resumed as the Chairman of the Revenmar Group of Companies unrivaled.Harris Revenmar had processed the release of Adam fro
Aiden's eyelids fluttered, and the world gradually swam into focus. The sterile scent of the hospital room filled his nose, and the soft beep of machines provided a rhythmic background to his returning consciousness. The events leading up to his current state seemed distant and fragmented, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle he was struggling to put together.As his vision cleared, he found his grandfather sitting by his bedside. A smile stretched Aiden's face. Movements caused his grandfather to look up from his book, his eyes filled with relief as he saw Aiden waking up. With a steady hand, he reached out and pressed the call bell above Aiden's bed."I'm so glad you are awake. Oh, I have been worried sick about you! The doctors said your chances of survival were slim, but I was certain that the boy I and your ma raised was stronger than that."Within moments, the door swung open, revealing a trio of medical personnel entering the room. They wore matching white coats, their expressions, a
By nightfall, a majority of the attendees had left, ensuring to show their gratitude to their hosts as they went.Trisha and Aiden stood by the door, shaking hands or blowing air kisses as people left. The Chairman was by the side, speaking to some of the board of directors present.Trisha watched Aiden with concern in her eyes, mouthing her words. she asked if he was fine, to which he nodded in the affirmative. He still looked clean, untouched, his outfit without creases. Their aunt, Getrude, waltzed towards the door, her girls in tow."It was a pleasant evening! Although I must say my brother didn't train that boy right. Should have put him to the whip to beat out that nonsense entitlement from him instead, what does he do? Encourage the brat."Her girls looked uncomfortable behind her as she droned on. Aiden tuned out her voice, only nodding when it seemed like she needed him to.Thankfully, Faith pulls her mom forward. "Let's go, ma. There is a line behind you." Aidrn sent her a g
