Javad de Venta stepped out of his room and emerges into the living room. There Cassius, Mattias, and Anahita were already waiting for him. They all stood up when he get to their side and the Montero go first. " I got a call from the round ville men Boss. They want to meet you soon enough " " Who are the round ville men? " Javad asked and Cassius stare at him in surprise. " Boss come on. They are the men you failed to sign their documents. They are called the round ville men. Don't you know this? " " I barely got sleep this day my dear friend. My head reeling with so many questions and discoveries. Surely you didn't expect me to keep them in heart and mind " Javad didn't wait for Cassius to reply before he turn to Mattias and said. " I guess you are ready to take your daughter back. Right? " " Yes, boss. The anonymous Boss, Landyn A set up a location where we would meet up with his lawyer. Anahita will be by my side as well " " That's good, " Javad said. He turn to the lawyer w
" How do you mean Salza? " This time County asked. She exchanged glances between her sister and her mother in awe. " Maybe you should inform her mother " Leah was the one to mutter at first and Lara shrugged. She marched forward to the men who had come for their payment. Lara counted some dollars notes and thrust them into the men's open palm before she issues a warning. " Take this and never come back " " You should thank the Mafia Don that has saved your asses " One of the men said before walking out. After their departure, Javad stood in the doorway to watch the drama unfold before his gray eyes. Lara and Leah seem to have kept a huge Secret from County who still have her Jaw open in awe. " Mother " She said at last. " What is going on? " " Nothing. Javad wants to meet Salza. We should help him. Now move out of the way county, Leah come on, let's take Javad to salza's location " " Wait! Wait!! " The younger daughter of Lara exclaimed, trying to get her senses back. " Mothe
The small room suddenly become tense. Javad de Venta soon find it hard to breathe but he held on. His gray eyes stared hard at the man before him. The man who seems to hold all the answers to his thousands of questions. " Did you just mention Javier? " He asked dully and Salza nodded. His face was well devoid of humor. " Yes. Javier's mother is none other than the CEO of ROM. She is in partner with a top-notch company. Duke's corporation who acted as securities for the old city where you live " " Don't say that " Javad mutters coldly. " Do not try to speak ill of that young man. He is my most trusted soldier " " By all means, he is. I am sure he didn't know the truth that your biggest enemy, the Mafia organization enemy is his true mother " " How sure are you? " Javad asked. " How do you even know all this? How come Javier who is an orphan has a relationship with the CEO of ROM? " Salza stares at Javad for some time. He could feel his reluctance to accept the truth. He could
It was only a little into the afternoon but the sky has already darkened thanks to the heavy downpour. Javad de Venta drove into his fort in that rain. He let out a long breath to calm himself before alighting.Immediately, one of the associates Dante brought an umbrella above his head. Javad didn't mind getting wet though but he appreciates his men's concern. He walks straight into the building but found Cassius waiting at the foot of the stairs. " Javad " The consigliere called urgently. He walks up to him and looks him over, fearing to see him hurt." Are you ... Alright? " Javad didn't reply to Cassius's question. He asked instead. " Has Javier arrived? " " Boss... " " Is he here? " Javad interrupted urgently and Cassius has no choice but to nod positively. " He is back with Jade. Skyler Avi tagged along since he can't stay alone now " Javad didn't wait for more words before he goes into the living room. His heart skipped a beat when he stop in the doorway to see everyone
Silence fell. No one moved or speak. The departure of Javier filled many with sadness but no one dares to object to the Mafia Don's decision. Jade finds her way back to the living room, dripping wet from the rain. She suddenly burst into tears. " Why would you have to chase him away Javad? " She asked softly but her displeasure is evident in her voice. " Why would you ever make him go away? He is an orphan. He has no one in this world Javad. He dedicated his life and everything to the Mafia organization, to you. He is a good young man but you... You let him go! " She ran away towards her room and Miran who is there as well ran after her. Javad didn't speak to any of Jade's words. He only gazes at Empty space all through. At last, he bypassed Cassius and said to him. " To my office Cassius. You too Anahita " The two go along with him. Javad pushed open the door and walk in very tiredly. He gulped down hard as he made it to his desk and lean over it. " I want the key to my fath
That day has been a gloomy one in the fort. Javad de Venta, the Don is not happy and so was everyone. He was in his room, just taking a bath and settling on the bed when his door opens without any knock and Cassius appears in the doorway. Javad didn't bother to turn around to see the guest. He knows it's none other than his best friend. He knows no one will dare open his door that way and barge in. Cassius stares at Javad from behind for a long time. He let out a sigh and asked softly. " You wanna talk? Share? " " I don't know " Javad replied while bowing his head. His black wavy unruly hair fell lovingly around his face but he brushes them back with his long Milky fingers. " I met Salza Duke today Cassius " He mutters. " And he is alive. Can you believe that? " Cassius couldn't reply. He gulped down hard and was short of words. Javad stood up from where he sat and goes straight to the bar counter in his room, at a corner, and pours himself a glass of alcohol. " He knows every
Javad de Venta had felt the presence of the system. It makes the hair on his pores stand at its end. He informed both Cassius and Skyler about it. " Do you feel it too? " He inquired silently as he thrived to act nonchalant for there are security guards around, watching them. " I can't feel anything boss " Skyler replied and Cass also shook his head in the negative. " It must be because of the system in you Javad " Cassius whispers to him alone. " We should be able to get the Chest today without fail " " There is no way to it Boss " Skyler announced as he look around. He made to get on his feet, to feel the marble floor but Javad signal him to stop. " They are cameras, Skyler. Keep cool. We need a new plan. Come here you both " Javad instructed gently. He retraced his steps and made a show about checking out the artifacts. At last, they decided to leave but outside, the rain is harsher than ever. The cold wind splashed across their faces and at once the receptionist ran to them
Goosebumps overwhelmed the three men's skin as they make it to the Chest. Javad was given the grace to lay his palm on the wooden wide box. Slightly he shivers and sighs. " It's the Chest of system. I got it. I did it. We all did it " He mutters in glee and Cassius nodded in positivity. " What's next boss? " The consigliere asked carefully. " We take it back to the fort and device another ... " He stopped speaking abruptly when his eyes caught the sight of a hard disk beside the table. He was astonished and slowly reached out for the disk but then a shot rang out, hitting the ceramic made table and it broke at once, splashing into millions of Pieces. The chest slipped through and hit the marble floor with a thud. Its lid shook but didn't open up. Everything began to happen very fast. Javad was beside himself with awe. He turns swiftly around to see Men rushing towards them with guns. Skyler who was beside the door was quick to obey the boss's order. " The door Skyler. Shut it!
