Chapter 9 - Chapter nine: warnings and threats.

Micheal's pov:

Martha led me into a beautiful room, with exquisite design. I saw a man probably in his late sixties , sitting on a chair behind a large table made of mahogany wood. He had an intimidating aura, maybe if it were anyone else , they would be intimidated by his serious , overwelming gaze. But me , no , l am not afraid of anyone, no one can intimidate me, absolutely no one. " Mr Micheal Shawn, am l right?" Any one can hear the annoyance in his voice, dies he have a problem with me or is he just the bitter type?, " Yes , that's me". I said with a straight face. " Have a seat", l sat down on the chair in front of him. " If you called me here to ask me about the task you gave to me, then l have some news for you. I did as you asked but l'm not sure if he's dead", " what do you mean you are not sure?" he said with raw annoyance in his voice, geez this guy surely has anger issues. " I hit him hard enough to die, but l wasn't able to check if he is completely dead or not , because people were approaching and l had to run" l explained. He just stared at me, bad l stared back, if he is doing to intimidate me then he failed, " l hope you are not lying to me" he said venomously. " I am not, believe it or not, besides l believe you have ways to find out whether l am lying or not." " Yes l do, and if l found out that you are trying to protect him, you will be sorry." He said venomously again. This man definitely has issues, " look , l get that the fact you think Charles is responsible for your unstable health , but don't transfer your aggression to me" l half yelled at him, seriously what the hell is his problem am l Charles. He stared at me for a while," l am sorry if offended you" he said a bit calmer now. I nodded my head , " find out if he is dead , if not you now what to do" he is back to his serious version again. "I have a question, why did you chose me for me for the job. For someone of your status , you definitely have men at your back and call that could do the job for you, but instead you went looking for me to do it , why is that?" I know l won't get an answer but still asked. "That is none of your business Mr Micheal, listen you should just focus on the deal , you kill that man and we give you the results of the DNA test, don't ask any other questions, do you understand? ", as expected. "Speaking of the tests , have they been conducted " l asked hoping for a yes, " no, not yet" he said simply , l frowned, "why not?". "Don't worry they will be conducted as promised " , now l'm fuming " when will they be conducted ", " soon". I nodded " if there is nothing else , l'll take my leave now" and with that l stood up to take my leave. " Micheal" he called me back." If that man isn't dead, then you have just five days to kill him" he said warningly, so annoying, he speaks as if he owns the air l breathe "what happens if l don't kill him within the time frame" l said challengingly. He smirked, " you know ... Once after the DNA tests are conducted, we would know who among the girls is your daughter , and l know you love your daughter, we won't want anything happening to her , do we?". Now, l am really mad who does he think he is , l rushed towards him and grabbed him by his collar , Martha who had been quiet the whole time tried to approach me but he gestured her to stop, " are you threatening me ?" I said in calm yet dangerous voice, " no l am not, l'm just telling you what you should do", l really hate this man. " I'm warning you, if you do anything to hurt her, l swear l will kill you" l spouted venomously. I dropped him harshly, and my made way to the door, l looked at Martha and she gulped. I left the room and jammed the door with force.

Now l am very sure, there is more to this. A powerful man like him won't waste time looking for someone like me to do a job for him when he has men to it for him, unless he has other ulterior motives. Five days, l hope l find out what he is planning before killing Charles.
