Chapter 144 Air Of Mystery
Getting out of the SUV he had been chauffeured in and watching it drive off, Xavier headed into the dojo. He was surprised to find that everyone had already gathered. However, immediately upon entering, he was bombarded with questions by the unit leaders. They couldn't suppress their curiosity, especially after seeing the state he was in and what he was wearing, but Xavier quickly shut them down.
"Slow down, all will be explained. I just called you all here today to finalise how we are planning to take down the 2 small gangs that I have decided will be our first targets."
Calming down and preparing to listen attentively, knowing that what he was about to tell them was of importance and that things were serious, they allowed Xavier to continue.
"We should be receiving the supplies we need by the end of the night. Any other supplies you might require, just let me know and I can get them for you. As for who will be doing what, I want Zack to be on standby the entire night. We need you to oversee things."
"Connor, your unit will also be on standby," decided Xavier, who could clearly see the disappointed but also relieved expressions on the faces of those in Connor's unit.
"Sam, your unit will deal with the Cobalt Crew. And Achara, your unit will deal with the Armed Crooks. They are small gangs and won't be prepared, but never underestimate your enemy and all it takes is a pull of a trigger for your life to be over."
Xavier knew that for himself after his experience the past night, which only caused him to urge those in the Outlaw Gang to be more careful. However, he also wanted to make it clear that getting blood on their hands was possible, and when it came down to it, they couldn't hesitate.
It was already unusual that Xavier was wearing such formal clothes that clearly weren't his, which left the unit leaders curious as to what exactly had happened the night before. That curiosity increased even further when they saw the bullet wounds that he had, as well as the gun and knife that were attached to his waist under his shirt.
The weapons were concealed well to the point they were barely noticeable and glossed over by most as merely a small bulge in his shirt. As for the bullet wounds, they were meticulously stitched and covered in bandages, which just served to show how skilled the doctors working at the Numbers were.
However, that didn't change the fact that he had a gun and that he had 2 bullet wounds.
'Just what the hell happened?' they couldn't help but think to themselves.
And how the hell was he still moving and nonchalant about being shot?!

Buttoning his shirt back up, Xavier recalled the feeling of thick, warm blood splattering onto his hands after he slit the neck of the final assassin. However, he didn't let it show on his face.
"A lot happened last night, and I managed to form a partnership with a supplier. In the process, I got shot twice and am not in peak physical condition. However, I'll be with Zack overseeing everything and will be ready to move at a moment's notice if needed. But I doubt that'll be the case," he revealed.
As he did, those who subconsciously doubted Xavier felt guilty and were even more amazed by him. They also felt as though there was an air of mystery around him that grew stronger by the day. It seemed as though the more time passed, the more difficult it was to understand and keep up with the youth they recognised as their boss.
However, there were 5 that managed to overcome that and do so, proving that they deserved to be in the positions that they were in...
