Waves: A Little Mistaken Fate

Chapter 42: The Underground City: Blue Rose City.

Two days later, on a fine afternoon, in a marvellous city that almost everywhere was covered in roses of different colours. It looks so obvious that the city upholds roses as a symbol or something, well from its where it gets it name from, the Rosetown City.

This was where the journey started, for the Grieving Emperor and for the Dirty Crowns Gang, formally known as the Golden Crown Gang.

In the beautiful streets of this exquisite town, one can see a figure whose cladded in an all black attire, consisting of a leather jacket, sweatpants, a sweatshirt, a face cap and a nose mask.

The figure walked straight into a flower shop and met with the attendant. Without even allowing the attendant to speak, the figure spoke up, “the blue rose calls for me.”

Hearing that, the old man took the figure straight to one of the small empty rooms that was at the back of his store.

As the both walked in, the attendant had the figure to have a seat while he walks to one of the walls, touched a part of it and pushed in the touched part.

The wall’s part went in and the old man had his hand slide up to the open space that was created by his own actions and pressed a hidden button that was there.

Suddenly, the room starts having a slight motion experience, a metallic door appeared from nowhere and closed up, separating the whole room from the wooden door and in an instant, the room went straight down in an awesome speed. Yes, the room was an elevator in disguise.

Somehow, the elevator was going straight down for five minutes before slowing down till it then came to a stop. The elevator’s metallic door opened and then, what was seen was a wooden door that was extremely similar with the other door and walls with the same colour as of the room’s or elevator’s colour.

The old man gestured that the figure could now be on his way. The figure got up from his seat, went to the old man, dipped his right hand into his pocket, took out two gold coins with a rose insignia on it and tipped the old man, leading to the old man giving the figure a slight bow and then, sees the figure off on his way out.

The figure opened the door and in front of him was a hallway. He could see series of doors at each side and it can be believed that these doors are also elevators. He walked up the hall till he saw a door that had an exit sign on it. He opened the door and what met him was a beautiful lively city. Yes, this is another underground city, similar to The Hidden City of Vincestreet, named The Blue Rose City, named after the meaning of blue roses, ‘mystery’.

The figure signaled his hand for a taxi and a taxi took its brakes in front of the figure. The figure opened the door, went in, had his seat and closed the door.

The driver, without looking back, spoke up saying, “good day sir, welcome to the beautiful Blue Rose City. What services am I to render for you?”

“Nothing crazy today, just get me to club 98.” The figure replied. Here in Blue Rose City, taxi drivers can also perform other services for you, such as; mobile or drive-by assassination, get-away driving, kidnapping or even robbery of all sorts.

Does the law exist? Nope, none at all. Just make sure that you are able to escape after the action is done because every firm is aware of the lawlessness and so, have their personal standardized security.

Again, you don’t want to deal against famous kingpins in the city. This is why taxi drivers ask for details on your target.

It took some couple of minutes before they arrived to their designated destination. The figure paid up the fare and got out of the car. The figure turned to face the building while the taxi drove off.

Standing in front of the building for some few moments to admire it before moving towards the entrance. In front of him, he could see two hefty bouncers guarding the door.

As he got close to them, the figure spoke up, saying, “the Prince Candidate calls for me.” One of the bouncers brought out a list and asked the figure, “your name?”

“Devil’s Tongues.” The figure replied as he shows the guards his back, pulled off the jacket and sweatshirt, revealing an attractive tattoo, showing a woman’s face. The face revealed was from her forehead, down to her neck in a side view.

One could see the lady’s hand, holding a blood red apple and out of the lady’s mouth were two long tongues that it’s tips laid rest on the apple, as well as having her tongues wrap around the apple.

The bouncers saw his tattoo and nodded their head as they confirmed that he was legit. The bouncers then made space for the figure to pass through and the figure did so after putting on back his sweatshirt and jacket.

As the figure entered the building, he saw a fine, exquisite and a quiet reception hall. He stood there and admired the structure before heading towards one of the free receptionist there.

“Good day sir, how may I help you?” the receptionist asked.

“The Prince Candidate calls for me. The Devil’s Tongue is here to pick up the phone.” The figure replied.

The receptionist immediately picked up a golden telephone and made a call, “good day sir, the guest is here sir. Okay sir, we will be on our way sir.” The receptionist then dropped the telephone and with a slight bow, she poke to the figure saying, “please, do follow me sir.”

The figure nodded as he followed behind the receptionist. She led him to the middle of the hall and there were five elevators that were designed exquisitely. The body were all transparent and the door was of gold.

The engineering involved the usage of huge tubes that aids the elevator to transport to different floors.

And there were five tubes in front of the two. Three consists of the customer’s usage, one for the staffs and one for the executives and special guests. There are 98 floors in the building, excluding the ground floor.

The receptionist led the figure to the executive tube and they both entered to get to the last floor but only then did the figure found out that the executive tube was quite slow, compared to normal elevators.

As time was passing by, the figure finally had his eyes fixated on the receptionist’s behind. Not able to withstand the urge, he held onto one of the cheeks, causing the receptionist to jerk out of shock. The receptionist slowly looked back at the figure in nervousness only to see the figure go on with his attempts.

........................

As the duo finally reached, the elevator’s door opened up and the receptionist can be seen adjusting her dress while the figure was doing the same with his clothes.

In front of the two was an ongoing club party that was going on. The receptionist looked back at him and spoke up with a seductive look, gesture and tone, saying, “follow me dear sir.” The figure nodded as he followed the receptionist’s lead.

The two went through the crowd and were able to make it to the stairs that led to the VIP rooms. They were able to walk pass the guards and get to the hallway of the VIPs but they also walked pass all the rooms there till they got to the terrace.

The receptionist then gestured him to get in, which the figure did. The figure walked in and found a fancy table setting of a meeting table and he could see a figure staring at the night sky with s glass of wine in his hand while seated.

The figure was able to notice the guest’s entrance and stood up. The figure approached the guest slowly with open arms and spoke, “welcome to the Club 98, cousin Jay Albion.”

The guest taking of his nose mask and face cap, finally revealing that he was Jay, Eugene’s best friend, the replied, “its good to see you again, cousin Axel.”
