Chapter 109 A Bet!

The central region of Aphrodite city was the most prosperous and densely populated area and multiple numbers of modern-day tall buildings and skyscrapers were densely constructed.

Still, the nightlife of this area was the most boisterous one among all the districts of the city.

Within this area, there was a tall building called Gentleman's club. It was the most notorious place in the entire city.

A beautiful flying supercar appeared in the sky just near the building out of the blue. It then landed on the VIP lawn beside the building and its doors lifted opening, and a lady and a little girl came out of the vehicle. They were none other than Silla and Jo Jo. They hastened toward the entrance of the building.

When the two well-built security guards standing at the entrance saw a lady and a little girl coming toward them, one guard shouted, "Go away! This place is not for kids. And you lady, this is not the right place for a family to visit, and that too at the night."

On learning the identities of who they were, the other guard nudged him in the belly and said. "Hey shut up newbie!" He then made his most possible smiling face and greeted her in a polite tone. "Good evening, boss! And sorry for my partner's bad manners. He was recruited recently and joined by this morning."

He nudged at him again and whispered. "Hey, newbie, quickly apologize to the boss."

The other guard slightly bowed at them and said, "Sorry, madam! Please forgive me for my earlier misbehavior. This will not happen again."

Silla nodded at him once and she walked away, entering the building without speaking a word. And the little blonde girl quickly followed her.

Back inside her office, Silla and Jo Jo sat around a portable round table with several dishes and delicacies arranged over the table.

"Hah! It feels so nice being back here at home." Jo-Jo cheered as she picked up a chicken leg and started nibbling on it with her little teeth.

Seeing that, Silla made an amiable smile, and she too started eating the sumptuous meals.

While they continued enjoying the delicacy, Jo Jo suddenly remembered something, and she asked, looking at her. "Big sister Silla, so have you dealt with Mr. Spade?"

"Yes, from today onward there will be no Mr. Spade in our club," Silla replied.

Jo Jo, the little blonde girl, clapped her hands in delight and spoke out what was in her mind. "That's good to hear." "His aura is so disgusting I almost threw up whenever he was here….. Thank goodness, he will never come to this place ever again."

"Good for us," Silla then said as if she was trying to teach her something. "Jo-Jo, listen to this. There was another big reason for me to kick him out of our club."

"I know I have read his report about the termination of his contract with our club." Jo Jo briskly said.

"Not that one," Silla responded, and started explaining patiently. "Actually, under your request, the first procedure for inviting Bobby Bradford into our club is done. And as you know, he is one of the hit lists of our club. So, to have a future with him, we need to tie some loose ends first before we send the Golden card to him. And Mr. Spade was the only thing that was linking the assassination attempt to us. So, do you understand now?… Anyway, inviting our former target into our ranks is the riskiest job."

The little girl pondered for a while and she placed the spoon on the table and said. "I understand. But Silla believes me on this one. Being friends with him will be the wisest thing that you make for our club. "

Unknown to them, a silhouette was currently spying on them, listening to their conversation.

"So, Silla, is it true that he is in the Military under the wing of Captain Jean?" Jo Jo asked.

"Oh, someone is doing her homework outside of the book," Silla replied in a teasing voice. She then further added. "Yes, you are right. After a thorough analysis and most importantly from our spies within the Ares 776d5 the military site, the intelligence department reported that he is one of the five assistant chiefs of the particular department of the Knowledge Of Bureau within the military."

"Even though we have the strictest rules and multiple procedures to keep the identity of our customers, considering how good you are? I guess that you have already figured out the one who put the bounty on Mr. Bobby Bradford's head, right?" Jo Jo finally asked what she was meaning to ask all this time. "Would you mind telling me who she or he is? It is between us only, I cross my heart."

"Little girl, stop trying to pull my string here…. Well, I'll be completely honest with you. I don't know who was the creditor for that hit… but I have some solid proof; the person of interest is someone from a military site too as the last time I do some trick to trace the line, the last location I get is from within the Ares 776d5, the main headquarters of the Delta Belt station just beside the city." Silla answered. "I suspect that the one who put the bounty on his head was one of his workplace's colleagues."

The silhouette of a man wearing all black emerged from outside the room after half an hour. "Now, I finally understand what is going on here. Anyway, I will still deal with this place as they were the prime culprit behind all of this." He said to himself, considering putting all the dots of the puzzle behind the plot of his son's recent assassination attempt.

At that moment, suddenly the room he was currently inside started folding and the next moment he was standing inside a wide-open place. The man in disguise scanned his surroundings and saw only a world of white ice.

Suddenly, a male voice echoed coming from all directions. "Hello!" "What makes you so honored to be visiting my humblest abode, Mr. Jeremy Bradford? Or shall I call you the venerated Red Dragon's Slayer? And sorry for bringing you here without your permission."

Jeremy frowned, as this was the first time someone put him in such a position. It seemed to him that the person who brought him into this ice world was a strong space user because he could teleport him here without his knowledge when he was also a space law user. "Who are you? Show yourself?" He said in a calm tone.

Not far away from Jeremy Bradford, a spatial fluctuation appeared and a dark circular portal opened, and soon, a leg stepped out first, and then his other leg along with all of his body.

Jeremy saw a handsome man who seemed to be in his early 20s coming out of the pitched-black circular spatial portal, which then vanished soon afterward. He came to understand that the man had golden teeth and nails and understood that he was one of the Ogarian race.

The man walked toward him confidently and stretched his right hand toward him and introduced himself with a friendly smile shown over his face. "I'm Jo Moriah! And yeah, you can call me by the name Mr. Mo or just Mo."

While still in his disguise, Jeremy did not feel an ounce of hostility from him. He then shook his hand and said, "call me Jeremy." "Are you the one behind all of Gentlemen's club's shady business?"

"Yes, I'm the boss. So tell me this first before we come to the proper business." Jo Moriah asked, with still the wide smile on his lips. "Are you planning to destroy my club as we came across and sat on some wrong foot?"

"Yes, you're right. I'm planning to burn the Gentlemen's club into the ground..... To do that I'll start with you... I can forgive someone who has some evil plots against me by some circumstance but trying to touch my boy that I can never forgive." Jeremy shouted. Then he drew his long katana and clasped the handle in his hand.

"I understand your feeling. I will do the same if someone does the same to my little girl too… You see, I like to be friends with you. So, how about this if I could defeat you within an hour then I promise to do three requests of your son in the future and think about it, judging by his second nature, he's practically a trouble magnet and one day there will come a day that even you can't possibly help him and that time I can help him as compensation for putting his name on my organization's hit list. Plus, I like you to join my club… I mean, as a guest." Jo Moriah suggested.

"What about if you lose? Are you gonna beg to spare your daughter's life?... Don't worry, I'll never touch a hair of her as she was innocent, but you, on the other hand, not very much." Jeremy responded as he caressed his blade.

"Hahaha…. me losing. Hahaha....that is because there is no way I'm going to lose in a duel with you. Alright, do you agree or not?" Jo Moriah further insisted.
