Chapter 54 - Truly A Weapon

"If you think my family background is so difficult to trust then, Mr Li, I'm sorry to say but you don't know anything about them."

" How disappointing, even after serving the Crime Lord for two decades, you're still a middle man. I thought you'll be promoted, at least to be the Underboss of West. Tsk, still no progress, Huh?" Louis laughed mockingly at the man in front of him.

Li Louwu could only grind his teeth after been mocked like this. True, he was serving the Underworld for so long yet he couldn't make his own notable place or acquire a position of second in command. Although, he came in contact with Underworld when was in prison. He was imprisoned and sentenced for ten years, accused 'killing with intent'. Anyhow, he knew by the time he will be released from prison there won't be anything left for him.

And as expected. His Li Empire was thrown into an abyss which has no end and reviving it might take some miracle to happen. But his thirst for revenge didn't die, thus he entered into the world of criminals. And without wealth and power, Li Louwu has nothing to offer to the Crime Lord other than his loyalty. And with the growing years, he became the most trusted person.

Hereafter, he was given small work as drug dealing or human trafficking. Importing and exporting vɨrġɨnal and young girls to other parts of the world. But these tasks were the basics, as each and every twig of the Underworld does that. It was of no big deals and it was like a regular business which can be done by any given person.

Li Louwu was never praised or promoted for his hard work but it wasn't until Underworld suffered a huge blow from the Titans of this world. And he was promoted to be the face of an investor, acting just a middle man between two parties.

It was not like the rest of the world was sleeping when Underworld was growing.

Titans...People who are stronger, wealthiest and tranquil minds. Just as the villain was evolving into supervillains so were the knights were emerging into Titans.

Nevertheless, not every part of the world was ruled by immoral souls there was humanity breathing the same air, growing in the same conditions yet the souls harbouring that gem of kindness wasn't universally profound. But discovering a Titan was somewhat challenging. who not only has wealth or power but a dėsɨrė to do the sacrifices whatever and whenever needed.

In an era of democracy, the Royal family with a silver spoon doesn't prevail to be an essential bloodline still it didn't make them cornered or ignored. As half of the world's wealth now in the hands of 1% of the population. If classified into three part, then, Royals weren't to overlook among them after the business Tycoons and world-class leaders as Royals were marked as world's silver.

Within the time, a few world-class leaders decided to counter-attack these illicit organizations. Many intelligence agencies and militaries were formed yet tackling these termites who survived and grow while eating the deads weren't constrained easily.

Obviously, Underworld expanded into all directions and depths. Springing from political leaders to world-class businessmen and ensued by royalties. It played many roles, partners in crime to partners in financiers and partners for alliances becoming a Godfather.

That's when a new union was established having that 1% of Titans on a single table called UoT. Compared to underworld's Royal alliances these Titans were much more wealthy and powerful. Every person sited on that single table ruled their boundaries and the person who sits on the head chair will be the ultimate ruler of the world. Hence, this was highly confidential.

Nine years ago, both Underworld and UoT were going through an unyielding change. It wasn't an easy decision to designate sovereignty to any man but to a rightful heir.

Underworld doesn't take much time to announce the news as their new King was chosen. But UoT was strict in giving its' own time and hurdles to groom their leader as the competition was tough between three suitable individuals. Yet nobody thought the result will be so unexpected and unbelievably shocking after four years.

...

Just as Louis and Li Louwu were engrossed in their heated argument when they were interrupted by sudden silence as music and waves of laughter around them stopped. The ticking high pitch note of heels resounded and everything paused as she entered the room.

Her mere presence drew all the attention with her striking personality boring a sense of dominance as men shuddered to look at her dead eyes as if she owned this harem and they were intruders.

Her greetings and short welcoming speech for the new members was like a notice from hell. Strangely, her words didn't felt as if she was suppressing them but men got all excited just to be in her presence and after hearing her melodic voice.

If this is another style of a honey trap to reduce them from bequeathing then it's effective. She looks like confit worth dying for.

Louis's heart skipped a beat when his eyes meet with hers. Then she whispered something to a bulky man behind her before that man charged towards him.

Soon after that Louis walked towards the lady he felt an immeasurable coldness in her vibe as her shaft like straight posture was too commanding.

There's something unusual about this woman, firstly she's void of emotions as there was no light in her eyes yet she was deadly gorgeous. Second, her rigid body language yet enchanting aura.

"I'm Onyx." she introduced herself while extending her left hand in a flat manner as if she's having an upper hand both psychologically and physically.

Registering her name, Louis's eyes widened in shock.

O-Onyx? The rumoured left-hand of Crime Lord. Also famous as a deadly weapon in human form.

Is h-he...fuck!!! She's a woman and not a man?

What the fuċk...

Recovering from his shock. Instantly, Louis took her hand but a creep ran through his spine feeling the hardness of her touch.

Did she have ossein or an iron fist?

Truly a weapon.

She released her hand and said in an offended tone. "You have no etiquettes yet you barge to know your family background, Mr Louis Blanc."

Did she overhear my previous conversation? H-How's that possible? Louis was astonished.

Oh, I'm a fuċkɨnġ idiot... even these lifeless walls have ears and eyes sharper than an eagle. Every corner was under strict surveillance. Even if some members talked in deciphers words nothing was unheard or unseen.

"At least, learn a few manners for your family's reputation." Her words dumbfounded him. She doesn't tolerate uncultured men. He's lucky she didn't crush his hand then and there.

Louis was thinking that how he had offended her when he suddenly realized how these people were treated like Royalties. And he didn't delay to arching his back and bowed at a 90-degree angle in front of her.

"Pardon me, It's won't happen again." He apologized immediately. But he was beaming inwardly.

Her presence means...really.

Does that mean my request was heard by the prince? he thought in his mind unaware of the woman in front because she is not only a top-notch hypnotist but a Psychic-telepath also.

Who had tortured and broken through the strongest psychological barriers and bodies, through the strength of force and mind... men begged and cry for mercy when they were left with her alone and Louis was just an insect she can crush with two fingers. Though she's well aware of Louis's little importance to Prince.

"Yes, He valued your presence," she answered and before she turned to leave she caught the glimpse of Li Louwu's face behind Louis's back which was filled with jealousy and anger.

For how long... Li Louwu has waited for this moment to see the face behind the third most hyped named 'Onyx' in the Underworld. As tonight was that fateful night. He was also surprised to see a woman but the attention given to Louis was something that washed out everything and ruined his mood.

'What a fool...' she thought and left right after that.

.....

Meanwhile, the Prince was extremely puzzled and find it difficult to choose a present for his father. Every single piece placed in front of him was enormously precious and only one of its own kind.

Still, he had already chosen one for himself and kept it aside. He can't stop staring at his own present. It was so beautiful and mesmerizing to just watch it from a distance.

This present was stolen and it was worth the risk is he has taken. As the stolen toys give a different sense of satisfaction and thrill which isn't came from buying them.

Moreover, this is exclusive...
