Davon steps toward the meeting room, where it is used for meetings and others with the core members of his group.
As soon as he entered the room, several other core members gathered and welcomed him.
"Welcome, Sir! " They exclaimed in unison.
Davon just nodded his head without saying a word. Davon then steps toward his seat, the leader's seat he is used to having. And no one had the guts to take that seat but him.
"Is everything ready? " asked Davon with his moderate voice characteristic.
"Yes, Sir! " said, Philip. As vice chairman of course Philip has always supervised the work of his men, without missing a thing. Philip understood Davon so well that he had to work everything out perfectly.
"Good! " exclaimed Davon.
Davon believes in Philip's words, Davon knows perfectly well the performance of his deputy.
As usual, after Davon found out that all the preparations were complete, Philip began dividing his duties on each core member of their group. For the transaction to go well and there is no roadblock.
Each core member has abilities, among others, Alessio has abilities in it. Alessio is known as a hacker genius. Alessio also played a key role in security both inside the compound and Davon's mansion. He arranged all the security of both sites.
Then there is Hendry, with incredible knowledge and abilities in armaments as well as in explosives. Hendry is in charge of all the weapons that every member of the group has. Not only that, but Hendry is also responsible for any arms and explosives to be bought and sold in any transaction.
Elio, in turn, can gather the information that is accurate and highly trusted. Elio had connections and contacts in various places, so it made it much easier for him to get the information the group needed.
The last one is Vito. Vito is a martial artist, he knows a lot about martial arts. Vito himself is under a heavy responsibility to train every other member to become proficient in martial arts. Where each member is required to master it because it is essential for each member.
It's early afternoon, and the deal will be in the next few hours. That they still have a lot of time.
"As always, I will divide the work for you," Philip said later.
All the core members nodded their heads. This was common before they carried out the transaction.
"Elio! " call Philip. "As always, you gather information. Are there no law enforcement officers in the area where we do the deal and make sure no one's there."
Elio nodded quickly, "I'll do it! " He said firmly.
"Good! You leave as soon as this meeting is over, and you keep me in the loop! " Philip said firmly.
"Ok! " said Elio quickly.
Philip then looked at the rest of the room in turns, and then he began dividing the assignments on the others.

When they finished their work, Gwen and Cecil immediately returned to the building where they lived. They went back to their rooms after their supper.
Tonight, Gwen went through what she had before. After cleaning her body and putting on her pajamas, Gwen immediately climbed onto her bed. The room was almost empty because there was only a bed, a dresser, a table, and a chair. There's nothing else for entertainment like television.
The night grew late, and outside seemed to be quieter, not a sound. Not to mention the sound of people out there, only occasional footsteps. Gwen knew and came to her surprise, but it was the sound of someone on guard around the mansion, passing by her residence building. It was on the third floor, but it was so quiet.
Again and again, she tried to shut her eyes, even rolling her head for the umpteenth time. But, she can't fall asleep either. Her mind had been reeling from what had happened to her a long time ago.
"I still couldn't believe my stepmother was so evil. When dad was around, she was nice to me. It didn't even seem to distinguish me from my sister, " Gwen softly. Gwen closed her eyes slowly, all memories of the past suddenly appeared.
"And I still don't understand all this," she went on.
Gwen realized that what her stepmother had done was beyond her control. And she cannot tolerate what she does. Selling herself to a rich old man, that's already a very big crime.
"God, I beg you. Don't let me meet my stepmom again, I don't want to see her again," Gwen's praying hard. Because she knew he would never be able to fight her if she did see her again.

Midnight has passed, and Davon has just returned to the mansion after he's finished watching and making sure that the deal his men made has been successful and there's no problem at all.
His body was already a little tired, and it felt sticky. He quickly made his way to his room. It just suddenly stopped there at the door of his working room.
There was a curiosity in him he was unable to describe.
Suddenly, Davon opened the door to his study and quickly went inside. He stepped out of the window near his chair and pushed the curtains slightly away.
"Hmm, it's getting dark out," Davon murmured very slowly. Then he glanced at the circular watch on his wrist.
"No wonder..."
It was 2 o 'clock in the morning, he was convinced that the woman has seen the previous night must be sound asleep by now.
Davon was just about to close the curtain, all of a sudden. The lamp inside the room he was looking at lit up for a moment his eyes widened with a frown.
"What's she doing? It's so early! " Davon says.
Davon kept standing where he stood, with his eyes still pointing at the window of the room. There was a picture moving in the room, as again the woman had closed the window with only a thin curtain.
"Dumb-witted..."
Davon was still standing at his place until a moment later until the lights in the room went dark.
"TSK! I'm even more stupid because before I knew it, I walked in and looked there! " Davon grumbled as he walked out of his work room. Davon realizes his folly. For without realizing it he does it as though against his own will.
