Chapter 353 - Underground Society

Below the battle between Scorpion's force and Jaden's force were put on hold as both forces tried to defend themselves and take down the unwanted guests. 

BANG!!!

BANG!!!

CLASH!!!

Ughhh!

Ahhh!

The whole ground floor has turned into a battlefield. Three different forces were fighting each other. Jaden's force fall back since this was not part of their mission anymore. However, since Scorpion's mercenary group owns the place, they have no choice but to fight back. Things became more complicated for Jaden's force since they need to kill all the mercenaries but they can't get involved with the unknown group. 

Scorpion's Mercenary 1: "What should we do? Where did this other group come from?"

Scorpion's Mercenary 2: "I haven't seen the boss yet, Leo is gone as well. We better fight back or else will all die here." 

Meanwhile, the unknown group has taken great control of the situation. They have almost surrounded the whole place since Jaden's forces have fallen back with Yun Shen's men. 

Unknown Group Boss: "Go find the little girl at once. Make sure to kill anyone who'll stand in our way." 

All: "Yes, Boss!"

The unknown group boss was pleased with the current situation. He did not expect his luck would be greater than the other group who tried to kidnap the little girl before. 

He found himself in such a great position that he wishes to see the look on the previous group who survived and how he wants to brag to them of his great achievement. If he is to successfully kidnap the little girl and bring her to the person who hired them. He'll be praised and rewarded generously. 

"Does idiot, such an easy task, and yet they can't handle it. I wonder what happened last time that they failed to do such a simple task?" He muttered out of curiosity as to why the previous group failed to do such a simple task. 

People have investigated what happened and inquired to those who survived on what happened that faithful night. However, no one has the gut to speak of such a nightmare. To recall such brutal and cold killing right in front of their very eyes. 

Even though they wish to speak of what happened that night especially they've discovered that the girl has such aside and yet she's from a respectable family. They know that even if the girl has not killed them that night, after facing the girl's father. They realize their life was meaningless and how helpless they are.

The unknown boss roamed the area on the ground floor and saw strange sighting. He notices bloodstains yet nobody lying around. It brought such shock and confusion on his face. 

"What the heck happened here? Did another group invade as well? Could it be we're fighting the rescue group already?"

He was baffled about the situation. His mind was about to go crazy thinking that they are fighting the police force or the Yun family men. 

"Damn it!" He cursed annoyed realizing things are far too complicated than he thinks. He didn't expect things aren't going according to his plan. 

The unknown group boss hastily looks for his men. But frighteningly, when he found some of them. They were already breathless and cold. 

"F***! THIS IS A TRAP!" 

He panicky look around for more clues of the current situation. He investigates each group but only found his men lying dead but there were other stains of blood as well but nobody lying around. 

One can see that a group of men was already cleaning up the mess, and yet they arrived at such a wrong time and brought death to themselves. 

He looked all shaken when he saw his men all lying around dead on the ground. He anxiously checks each body to confirm if all of them were his men. A small hope was put on his face when he saw an unfamiliar person amongst the group of dead bodies. However, that hope was soon faded away when he realized who the man was. 

"Po-Poison's Gang? What is Poison Gang doing here? Thee-this is Scorpion's group. What the heck is going on..." 

The unknown group boss was a member of the same circle as Scorpion. They belong to different groups and serve a different masters. But, they know each other and avoid quarrels amongst themselves. 

In the underground society, not only will you be serving your own boss but an unknown boss as well whom your boss will only know. 

The rank will go like this: 

The Boss, the King, the Don, whatever you address them will be the head of the organization. The Boss will have overall control of anything and everything from anyone in his/her domain. The Boss makes all the important decision almost like a CEO of a company would. Even though each Boss may run his/her organization, group, clan in different ways, they all have something in common which is: they are greatly respected and widely feared by their own subordinates. 

Next to the Boss is his right-hand man/woman. They are known as the UnderBoss or is the second-in-command in the organization hierarchy. His level of authority may vary since a Boss may have one or two UnderBoss whom they entrust to handle different organizations. The UnderBoss's main goal is to make sure the Boss and his family stay protect from any harm and also ensure that his/her power grows. 

Apart from the UnderBoss, the Boss will also have another second-in-command personnel. It like, the UnderBoss does all the physical labor whilst this right-hand man does the thinking and the strategic in the organization. This person is known as a Chief Advisor or Counselor. They will have a very close and strong bond with the Boss. 

In each organization, apart from the UnderBoss and Counselor that are entrusted in maintaining the organization. The task is also entrusted to a Captain who will be trusted to take charge and be the head of a large crew. Which may consist of 100 to 1000 associates which they'll order. The task assigned may differ depending on the mission assigned and it's difficulty will varies as well. The Captain must report to the Boss or UnderBoss. 

Of course, the lowest ranks are the mercenaries, soldier or crew. They have no say in anything and must absolutely do whatever the Captain orders them. 

Both Leo and Scorpion are an UnderBoss of their Boss. Amazingly enough, their own Boss reports to another higher up. If we put it in ranking from the top, Leo and Scorpion are just at the lowest rank in the underground society. 

Like in every underground society, the area is divide and an order is set. Both Leo, Scorpion, and the unknown boss's master are under one Master. This is why the unknown group boss is confused to see a mercenary from Leo's command laying dead. 

The reason as to why the unknown group boss is baffled with the situation as well is because one must never interfere with another group mission. And right now, he and his man have stepped on their own grave. For the punishment of interfering in another mission is death. 

"What have I done?" He muttered in feared as he steps away from the body he just discovers. 

"Your own death." 

A faint but frightening voice echoed behind him.
