Chapter 358 - Dying grandson

The old man Gao was already anxious about his remaining life. The company was already at its downfall and at that moment of time his only grandson was nowhere to be found. Not that care he has gone because he has known grandson well. None of his playboy tricks were hidden from him.

He has known all the dirty things he has done in society. To some extent, he does not want him to be like that, but still there was nothing he can do about it. He was the only sole family heir of Gao Industries, with no other siblings.

So left with no choice he has to accept the way he was. If he was not a capable businessman, but a high grade playboy, then he can only employ more staff and employees to keep the company in the right pace and assist him more and more.

At this moment also he thought that Gao Ren might be busy with his girls at some corner of the girl or may be partying with his friends at some club, so he did not bother to care about him. The important thing that he can think now was about the survival of the company. It was something built with his and his ancestors' hard work. Even if he has to stake his life off, he can't let it get ruined so easily, most importantly when he does not know what has been the reason behind such a great downfall.

Trapped in his curiosity and helplessness, he came knocking at the most dangerous door of hell he had known. The underground base of Dark Scorpions. The group of mafia who rules over the whole H Nation and various other parts of the continent.

Dark Scorpions would have been considered the top group of assassins and mafia if and only if the new deadly gang named as Dark Knight Forces have not put their step on the dark ground. Their arrival has also surprised the other mafia groups but nothing was under their control.

They have come and taken the whole control over the ground like it was theirs from the beginning. Some even talked and tried to take them down but no one can even reach the shadow of them. It has been rumored that the power which Dark Knight Forces own was not to be taken easy. Even if the whole team of mafia unite to bring them down, then too they won't ever match with the power of their leader, Black Knight.

One flick of his finger and the name of the whole mafia will go extinct in the blink of an eye, like they never existed. The Old Man Gao would have asked for their help instead of coming to Dark Scorpions but reaching them was not under someone's control. No one knows where they were based and who were the members. Everything was kept a secret from the eyes of the world.

As the old man entered the eerie silent base of Dark Scorpions, he was stopped by the men who were guarding the entrance laced with heavy weapons. "Who are you and where are you going?" the tall burly guard said aiming the gum at the head of the old man.

"You are aiming your gun at me? Do you even know I am? I am here to meet your leader. Just go and inform him That I have come and you will know what's my status", the old man said with full arrogance like he wasn't frightened when the gun was aimed at his head.

The guards were not taught to take orders from others so when they came across the arrogance this senile old man was showing, he did not think much and was about to pull the trigger but at this moment a voice came from behind.

"Old Master Gao, please make sure that you don't use that arrogance in front of people of our group or we won't be sure if your head will still remain intact with your body or will be blown away like it was never there. We don't take orders from anyone apart from our leader". The man who had come out was none other than the subordinate who always ran around the main boss of the group.

Being around the boss for the whole time alone suffices for the status the man held in the group. The guards instantly put their guns down and bowed their heads to the man who had come out.

The expression of the old man did not change looking at the man. He still said, maintaining his arrogant tone, "Huh! Old birds can never learn anything new. Leave all that, I am here to meet the leader. Take me there, I need to discuss something important"

"Discuss something important or beg for help. Anyway since you are already here I won't ruin the scene and will wait to see if you can have the same arrogance till the end", the man said and then without waiting for his reaction, turned around and headed inside.

Looking at his lofty attitude, the old man hmphed but at the end followed him inside. He still needed to find out what wrong is going on with the industry and the person causing it.

The atmosphere inside was much more eerie than the air outside. Even if there were more than 150 people inside, it was still death silent like they were strolling in the graveyard where only dead people were lying.

Soon they entered the deepest corner of the base where a person wearing a mask was sitting on the large leather chair which looked like some heavy throne, suiting the atmosphere around. Looking at the person who was sitting all calm and composed the old man rushed forward with his urgent steps.

But before he could say anything, the voice came sensing the words beforehand "We won't be able to help you this time, whether it is related to your dying company or dying grandson. Everything was brought on you by your own action so now take on the results of it"

The old man Gao was taken aback by his words. What do these words mean?

Dying company or Dying grandson!

He felt his heart clenching with a fear of loss but he still asked, "What do you mean? I am here to ask your help for my company, why are you bringing my grandson in between?" The old man could not help but feel agitated at the words.

But in response the only thing he got was a loud dark chuckle. "Haha … I never thought that the old master Gao preferred his company over his one and only grandson. If that's so then I can only say, I can't even help with your company"

The old man was still confused but before he could ask the person with a mask on his face said in a mocking tone, "This time your useless grandson not only messed your company but also with his own life. Now at this old age you can only pray that he can have an early and less painful death, which does not seems to be coming"

At those words, the old man Gao felt her legs weakening. The walking cane on whose support he was standing staggered along with him but the masked man's subordinate who was standing behind held him, preventing his weakening fall.

Getting composed back, he asked in a shaking tone "What has my grandson done this time and where is he now?" Now the tone he has used was void of any arrogance, he has shown moments before. So this was what the man meant with his words.

This time his questions he asked weren't answered by the masked man rather it was by his subordinate, "The reason behind your company and grandson's suffering is the illogical actions he has committed. He has dared to kidnap Li Lifen without any proper planning. When the Wang Deming came to know he messed the whole economy of H Nation out of just a mere suspicion and after confirming your grandson's involvement in all this mess, he has ordered him to a painful death"

"Ordered to a painful death! Who is he to order someone a painful death?" the old man slammed his metal cane on the ground bringing out an echoed clanking sound.

"Haha … old master Gao there is no use of this anger here. Because no matter what you do or whoever you ask, you won't be able to do anything. Wang Deming is not a simple man to begin with. He has his grip in both business economy and also in the underworld mafia. Sigh! Why wasn't your grandson a little smarter?"

"Huh are you mocking us? Don't you fear that the words you have given to us would be broken if anything happens to my grandson?" the old man swept his eyes to the masked man who was silently resting on his chair with his eyes closed.

"Huh you are still remembering those words. We can only fulfill our words when your grandson survives. If he is dead then are you planning to marry her at this old age", the mocking laughter came in the air which sent shivers down everyone's spine.

"Saying all those words, are you confirming your incapability? Just simply accept it that now you people don't have any power over this dark world", the old man said, making the nerves of the masked person twist. The moment his words were completed, a gunshot was heard in the air which just passed from the side of the ear of the old man, leaving him all shivering in fear.
