Xavier P. O. V
---------------
Curiosity got the best of me. I came back from the club late at night yesterday and went back to the gym early for my morning routine. I was invited to the King's headquarters today.
I'm excited to get there, getting a chance to meet their famous lady boss. I did hear a lot about her, how she doubled the king's power in the underworld.
As instructed I reached the spot at the exact time. King's headquarters are not underground, the shady place smells rotted. It's a quite elite-looking mansion, surrounded by the forest as far as your gaze can capture.
Nobody can enter this place until they have ordered. The whole mansion is packed with tight security, both high-tech and physical. For the exact location, even I'm not aware, I was taken here blindfolded by black suit dogs from earlier.
We reached the first check post when they removed my blindfolds. I'm in a car with two armed men sitting on either side of me and another one is on the wheel.
We were about to enter inside the driveway by crossing big metal gates which are guarded by black-dressed men and the latest camera monitoring our every movement.
The driver nodded towards one of the guards who hopped out of the cabin to walk towards the door and placed his fingers on the fingerprints panel attached to the doors. The doors cracked open to reveal the well-built property in the middle of nowhere.
Once inside our little journey ended. A car came to a halt and one of them pulled me outside with them. Other same black-dressed men come into view, for a security check. To make sure if I carry any weapons with me or not, like I'm a fool.
Once satisfied he took my cell phone, said I will get it back once outside.
We stepped inside the mansion, with me in the middle, surrounded by the three bodyguards with me.
"Wait here," Outside of one a spacious room one of my guards instructed. He stepped ahead to knock on the door before opening it and went inside.
While waiting I turn my gaze around myself, we are in a long hallway. Some old paintings are hanging on the white and grey colored walls.
"Let him come in" A voice called before that guard exited out and gestured to me to go in.
I looked at my so-called protectors who didn't follow me, standing at their places like statues, loyal dogs, Huh.
I smirk, at one of them whom I fought before turning to go inside the room which turns out to be an office. A man, Kyle, who visited me at the club that day was sitting behind the big black glass desk, dressed in a white shirt and black denim. "We meet again, Xavier. Good to see, you made the right decision."
'Right thing? Only if you know I chuckled, "Well, I know what I want."
"Huh. I like your attitude boy. Come on, let's see if you have a real fire or just talk." He stood from his seat and walked out, I followed the cue.
He left the first floor on which his office was and climbed the third floor. All the mansion is highly secured, with no chance of getting attacked by rivals.
Footsteps were booming in the empty hallway as we were closing the distance to a room, which I guess is their boss's office. We both stopped on our trail when a sound reached our way. Kyle pulled out his gun, looking around very skillfully as light-footed approached the room which I earlier guessed was the office.
Doors weren't locked at all, we entered inside, I proved right, it was an office. The sound was getting loud with each step we were taking but no one was inside the office. Strange.
I noticed light filling the office room was coming from the crack behind the curtains. Some space was visible there, "What is there?" I asked Kyle.
He didn't answer, hooked his gun back inside his pants, and rushed towards the hidden space or door, whatever it is, "Don't enter this room! Stay where you are." He ordered before vanishing behind the curtains.
He got me curious, too bad. I inched closer to the hidden passage. Kyle's voice can be heard with the sound of banging. I stopped on the door frame and didn't enter the room as he instructed.
"Reb! Open the door! Reb!" He was banging on the door. Sounds from inside stopped completely before the door opened.
Coming out was the girl, not so aged. I doubt she must be in her early twenties. Long hair, tall, fair skin, and burning fire in her gazes. Behind her, the floor inside the bathroom was glittering with pieces of glass and blood. Interesting.
I let my eyes trailed her body while I'm aware she was doing the same. Blood was dripping from her hands as she clutched her fist tightly.
"Kyle, in office," I smirked when she passed me whilst ordering Kyle.
Back in the office, I got the job after performing a little task.
"....take the new boy with you." Here we go, I got my first job.
I'm sure of one thing, this is going to be fun...
