Ring …Ring …..Ring.
I picked the call to hear one of my trusted assistants that work on multiple foreign projects, this have to be good so I can visit the library with a peace of mind.
Michel "young master Ortox I called today to inform you that almost all of the projects in Europe are proceeding smoothly, we had a problem with the Italian port deal, the Monteria family who own the rights of the port has backed of what we agreed on in the first place, we can't bind them with the law as they have a massive influence in Italy, they are as you know a mafia family so dealing with them was hard and now it is harder, they are demanding 60% of the profit and they will not sell the port to us, they will lend it for 5 years for 5%of the profit, in short they are being unreasonable, what are your orders young master"
This is giving me a headache, that is why I hate doing business with hyena's.
Adrian "make an example of them, strike every source of income they have cut their hands and legs and wait for them to come to you, that is all"
Michel "understood, well do young master"
The phone call ended, with this I have secured the port deal, it will be one of the 3 most profitable projects for the next 5 years, those hyenas are foolish to point of no return, they want to be a partner and do nothing let's wait for them to come and beg for mercy.
…..
Two days after that phone call while I was at the gym inside my penthouse the phone rang, I answered to hear a man talking with an Italian accent.
??? "Mister Ortox i call to tell you that the Monteria family will approve on every condition you have as long as you leave them be"
Adrian "tell your family that I don't give second chances at all, we will get back to the original agreement that is all"
The phone ended and I headed to have a quick bath, now I can go to see that girl, I really don't know what I am doing but I have this strong urge to see her and so I will do.
Driving through the high way with a small smile planted on my face, that place is my own little paradise, maybe I should buy it and make it mine, let's talk to Jordan about it, speaking of the devil, the phone rang and on the other side was Jordan who was supposed to have a day to relax at home, but his plans as always get missed up easily.
Jordan "sir where are you now I called Jason and he told me that you have ditched him, he might be not like me but he is a man who knows his job very well"
Adrian "don't fuss over small things, I am going to the library to relax a bit, you have a vacation today, go and spend some time with Maya, when I leave the library I ….."
I almost reached the entrance of the property that has the library in it, I can see people coming and going to and out of it, but my talk with Jordan was cut in the middle when a couple of black SUVs cut my way and surrounded my car, I pulled the gun inside the lower pocket of the car, the moment I felt that this not going to end in a good way, just as I was thinking about how to handle this situation, foreign looking men came out of the SUVs and without any warning they started shooting, my car was pullet proof but what about the innocent outside?, there target is clear as the sun in the sky, it was me.
I can't have anyone of those people die because of me; on the other side of the phone Jordan was getting crazy the moment he heard the gun shoot sound.
Jordan "young master… young master …. Adrian what is going on talk to me"
Adrian "listen Jordan I am at the front gate of the library, I don't have much time from what I can see I must have fallen in an ambushed, the assailants are foreign nationals, there are many civilians I will lead them away to minimize the damage, if I was kidnapped you will have to find me that's it"
I cut the call and started maneuvering the cars, crashing and shooting everything happened within minutes, I cursed myself watching some innocent got shot because of me, when I know the one behind this I will rip them to pieces.
Everything was on an equal ground until one of the assailants decided to use anti-tank weapon on the car I am in, his finger pulled the trigger and I jumped out of the car, but I wasn't faster than him as I took some damage, losing my consciousness to be surrounded by the darkness, the last thing I saw was there disgusting smile, the one that tell you that they already won, I will send you to hell soon just wait and see.
