248 We Can Talk About This Calmly

He was already changed and was ready to leave, after the door closed he took his jacket and his motorbike keys. It is time to do his plan as well, the reason he was fine in staying here longer.

"Where are you going?" Gideon and Cathrine then came down and asked him.

"To do what I am supposed to do in order to be her best supporter," he answered.

"How dangerous would it be?" Cathrine couldn't help but ask.

"If I want to be with the queen I at least need to be a king, but our Empire is not enough. But I promised her that I would succeed no matter what at the same time, her revenge will be on the upper world then I will take revenge in the underworld," he said firmly before bowing towards them with respect and leaving.

That's right, his weapon business had been booming in the underworld and that is why other than stock market his money is flowing through this.

But he didn't come to the underworld only because of the weapon business they lost in the upper world but also because Amber had told him once, the ones who were sent and was able to kill her parents was from the underworld.

If she would get revenge for him for Carl and for what happened in his past then he too would get revenge for her, in order to do so, he needs to defeat each and every person out there in the underworld until he finds the ones who have killed her parents.

As they watch him leave, Cathrine couldn't help but sigh, "These two are fighting for one another. His grievances she's taking care of them in the upper world and her grievances his taking care of them in the underworld."

Gideon nodded, "They compliment each other very well."

"But Gideon…"

Cathrine spoke and Gideon felt a deadly aura coming from her.

"Wh- What is it?" he asked full of uncertainty.

"So he was dealing with the underworld?" she asked with a smile he was well aware of.

The smile that says he is in a bad situation.

"C- Calm down, Cathrine my love. W- We can talk about this calmly."

*****

Outside of a small building, Ashton was on the phone while leaning on his bike.

"It has been a while, it is quite boring without you here," Michael said as he spoke with him.

He was twice as old as Ashton but he acts like he was of the same age as him.

"Didn't I say you could take them down if you want?" Ashton replied.

"Nah, and get all the fun for myself, come one man. I partnered up with you in order to have more fun with a young lad like you."

"You have your companions over there," Ashton answered as he looked towards the road.

He didn't intend to do this alone, this place is not as easy as the others.

"Nah, these guys are old ones as well, anyway have you arrived?" Michael replied.

"Hmmm, just waiting for the others."

"Very well, we are already waiting as well."

Michael was actually in another country, since they have decided to partner up they plan on doing this until the end. And so going from one country to another was something they have decided to do as well.

The plan was simple, they are going to cut the limbs of one of the top gangs, the Black Spade.

And with research they found just where his right and left hands are.

Of course Ashton was still a baby chick on this and he knew that Michael had been in this business for long despite not showing much of his power.

Among gangs obviously the right hand man was better than the left hand one.

"Are you sure you're giving this guy to me? You won't be able to call yourself the top of the underworld if you leave such big shot man to me," Michael chuckled and asked.

"I am indeed aiming for being the top but I also know what my limits are, I am not yet as strong as you and for me to be called the top I have to go through you first right? I may have no information about the leader of Black Spade yet but I will surely be ready when the time comes that I face him," Ashton answered.

"Oh," Michaels brow raised upon hearing this.

"You already have an idea of who I am?" he asked his tone turning serious.

"A hunch was all I have but you have answered in such a way, I guess I am right," Ashton answered as he saw the incoming people a few distance a way.

He then heard Michael laugh on the other side, "Indeed you are not someone who are blindly doing things. Your brain I quite amazing as well."

"Well I wouldn't have found you if I have no support in the first place," Ashton answered.

"I really wish I could meet that young miss, I have watched the changes in you and I can clearly say that it was because of that young lady," Michael commented.

Ashton's companions arrived just then.

They were none other than Blake, Devon and Aldger.

Together with a few of their team that started with them.

Blake has come, he may have been tasked to watch over Hayley but that doesn't mean he would entirely focus on watching over her.

"Maybe someday," Ashton answered.

Michael once again laughed, "Come on shall we start this then?"

Both hang up and looked towards their own target.

Ashton chose to deal with the left hand man and left the other to Michael.

The time they spent together was not long but somehow he found himself trusting this person on being his partner.

Michael on the other hand watched this young lad closely and has come to adore him, how he grew and how he matured. He just wanted to keep watching him grow and mature.

He never once had a family, he chose not to have one because of the nature of what he was doing so he had no one to watch grow.

He was just like Ashton in the past, he was lost and didn't know what to do. He was just going with the flow and at some point he was ready to agree with his father to do what his father wants not until someone made him realize that this was his life.

After years of wandering and wandering, he finally found his place in the under world. His blood boiled more than in the past, though he did have a few business here and there in order to support them.

He was not the type to do bad things in order to gain money.

That is the reason his gang was famous because they were unlike the others who uses brute to trample on the weak. They were trampling on those who trample on the others.

But they are not clean as well for they have washed their hands with lots of blood in order to reach this point.

Though he admit he chose not to have a family but at one point he wanted to have one, he had fallen in love and thought he would marry her and have family with her but reality proved him wrong.

She almost died because of his work so he chose to leave her.

Cliché? Indeed but she would have a better life without him.

From then on, he chose to be alone in this world.

"Are you sure about leaving him alone?" one of his companions asked.

Most of those who knew or have a hunch of his identity were silenced.

"Well he is my partner after all," he said with a smile before commanding everyone.

"Let's go."

*****

"Be prepared, we have fought a lot but that doesn't mean we have become far stronger, we are about to face part of one of the top groups, that only means one thing. The danger is higher and our life will be put at risk more than before."

Ashton looked at them and said.

They were all serious as he looked at them.

"Let's get this over with shall we? Someone would surely kill all of us if we were to get back late," he added with a laugh.

After meeting one another, something surely changed for the two of them.

Amber who was known for having switches slowly lose them and her true personality was shown. A laid back person and mischievous at that.

Ashton who was deemed cold started reverting back to the one who can laugh at any danger though his trait of being cold will never disappear for it was already etched on him after so long of being one.

But he can final chuckle at such situations, his seriousness was still there but compared to before people are much more at ease talking with him.

The other three who heard his chuckle knew whom he was talking about and they couldn't help but laugh.

At the same time be grateful that these two met each other.
