Chereads / Fall of the Blue Bloods / Chapter 24 - Reginald Cartel

Chapter 24 - Reginald Cartel

The hall dropped into silence before the reporters in couldn't take by it any more and rushed towards the front

" Do you mean Z is a beautification drug"

" Does this Z drive X out of business"

" With the demise of X creator does it mean the drug end is eminent "

" Does Z have any side effects ..."

The reporters relentlesly asked their questions, the new drug was obviously a hit and as long as the get the news first the obviously hit a huge break on their career

" Calm down, though Z can be seen as a beautification drug it can also perform the same functions X those but not as efficiently as X does, we can say it's a variation of Z" Charles said

" Does it mean as it closes the injury it clears off the scar removing all traces of injury " A reporter asked

" Yes, it also has another function. Max was able to make it a detoxification drug" Charles annoced 

This time not just the reporters but also the hall broke out in uproar, Z was obviously an unbelievable drug, when X was first created 17 years ago with the help of the Cartels the drug reigned supreme now Z was coming into the picture

" When will the drug be launched"

" What will be the price"

" How would it be sold..."

Once again reporters broke out in their questions, leaving Charles with his "helpless" face

" Am sorry but any other information about Z will be kept till the actual conference release of the job" Charles said calming the reporters

He threw his gaze through the hall before making another annocement

" Now we have come to an end of this segment of the meeting, I would humbly ask all reporters to leave as we would like to preserve out security" 

The reporters acknowledged the privilege to come if fact they only reporters there were reporters from huge established stations with close relationship with the families, ordinary reporters couldn't appear here

They packed their stuff ready to leave, they have already gotten enough news for a breakthrough, Charles ordered some people to take Drug Z off the stage

Damion kept a cool expression on the outside but in the inside he was raging with anger, he clearly remembered that a week before he left that place he was drained non -stop of his blood till he collapsed twice in a week

Grieving 

Ha, Charles was a scheming Snake who knew how to manipulate the minds of people, taking deep breaths he turned his gaze towards Nicole

Nicole was pale in colour due to Max death, Jason was consoling her, Sasha stood rigid in shock with Theodore trying to shake her

Damion opened his mouth to comfort them but no words came out so he closed it back, another thing puzzled him

He had personally buried Max well most of Max he could scrape from the Car so what will that damn family bring to pretend it's Max

" Are you Okay" Theodore asked Damion noticing his silent nature

" Am fine just need to take a walk" Damion said as he walked outside

The hotel was an elite one to the point it had a specious garden at the back and a fountain in between

He walked to the fountain and stared at it, the way the Water flowed down captivated him, he took the seat opposite the fountain and opened his phone

It's been quite a long time since he played with the stocks...

**************************************

In a room upstairs Axel stood still as he watched the Old Man smoke staring outside the window

" It's quite funny you know, if I clearly remember the body of Max is missing probably burnt, the body we had was merely of scraps of car, it was through a DNA test we found out it was Max" The old man said

" Yes, the family seemed to always grow up in strange ways" Axel said with a stoic expression

"Anyway Axel how about we took a stroll" The old man suggested

Axel nodded and followed the old man out, as they walked towards the garden, he spotted a youth sitting opposite the fountain

" Axel pls excuse me I would like to continue alone" The old man said and continued walking forward

Axel nodded but stood at a side watching the interaction between the two

The man walked towards the youth

" Excuse me lad would you mind if I sat with you"

************************************

Damion heard footsteps coming towards him but due to the sound he deemed it an elderly man, there was nothing an elderly man could do to him so he didn't bother looking up

" Excuse me Lad would you mind if I sat with you" 

Damion paused at the sound of that voice even if he was sick and hallucinating he would never mistake the owner of that voice

He looked up and his eyes made contact with the eyes of the elder before him

Reginald Cartel

The recent Patriarch of the Cartel family, among all the Patriarch he was the most unpredictable, his actions were strange yet he was also the most bloody one

Reginald had visited him a number of times, what puzzled him was his recent resignation, he stepped down for his son to become the next Patriarch

Not just that he ordered his release so seeing him again released some strange emotions

" Lad are you alright" Reginald asked

" Yeah, you can sit" Damion recovered quickly and gave him space

" Thank you, why are you sitting down here" Reginald asked

" Probably the same reason you're out here sir" Damion answered back

" you're a strange kid" Reginald said as he lighted a cigarette

Damion frowned at the sight, he was pretty sure he was not supposed to inhale smoke due to his heart condition plus isn't he too old to smoke

" Sir isn't it too old to smoke" Damion asked

" No, son" Reginald continued his smoking

Damion ignored the old man and continued to play with the stocks

***************************

Cain rushed towards Charles with his phone in his hand

" He's on the stocks again" Cain said

" Huh by this time, try tracking his location" Charles said

Charles rubbed his head in frustration, this particular account always causes chaos in stock market, they have tried tracking it down and sending proposals to the account but all was denied

" Try locking down the location of the account probably the proposal would be accepted if we saw personally "
