Chereads / Baby, don't cry / Chapter 39 - Meeting 1

Chapter 39 - Meeting 1

The room has a circular table where everyone who is seated for the meeting can see everyone, Oliver enters the room and sits down on one of the two chairs that are vacant, After sitting down Oliver looks at the 5 people present for the meeting adding Oliver and the other one who hasn't come that will be 7 people, these 6 people are the ones who Oliver choose as his allies, though the number of people might look small especially when you need them to help control the underworld the one with the lowest status here can change the underworld 

As Oliver sat down, Griffin with his whole body covered entered the room and stood behind Oliver, even though Griffin had a right to sit down unlike the other assistants here not only because he has the second highest position among these people but also because Oliver gave him the right to seat down in any meeting but he chooses to stand

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived the man who announced the King present, Atlas said ''Amal said that she might not be able to attend the meeting, one of her subordinates betrayed her and now the police are on her trail trying to track her dealings with the underworld so she is staying away from here so as not to allow them to get any evidence or implicate any of us'' Hearing this everyone is worried, if the police manage to find evidence of Amal underworld dealings not only will Amal go down but most of them will as they mostly do business between themselves than others and unlike King who covers hos whole body that no one has seen his face or uses alias that no one has heard his name with his men who also cover their body and use alias either they are from a high position or a low one, most of them don't cover their face and use their real name making it easier for them to track them, there are some who aren't afraid as the police can't catch them since they have already plan ahead of how thy will escape in case they get exposed but it's the thought of leaving their hardwork and starting from start in a foreign country that got them worried 

Leaning closer to Oliver, Griffin said ''Amal is the second person with the most untraceable transaction of her dealing with the underworld even if her subordinate betrays her she shouldn't be having this problem, it seems like someone is making the police force if they can find her dealing with underworld after all a mere subordinate statement can't cause this much attention, what do you think Boss'' Griffin said 

Oliver didn't answer instead he said ''Sit'' 

''Boss.....'' 

''Don't make me repeat myself'' Oliver said and Griffin immediately sat down ''I'll say this for the last time you aren't my assistant but the second-in-command to the organization and you will get the respect you deserve and shouldn't be treated like other peasants'' Oliver said not only for Griffin to understand his identity but also for the others to know how to treat him when they see him When Oliver said that he attracted the attention of the people who were worrying about what they should do if they are caught 

''Yes boss'' Griffin said 

Oliver finally answers his question ''Someone is trying to scheme against Amal but the goal isn't to take down Amal but to destroy the power we have, by taking down Amal the person will be able to take down some of us while the others will have to flee, only a few of us will be able to remain but what can 3 or 2 people do against them, naturally our power will reduce and the person will have no problem removing us'' Well you, Oliver thought because he wasn't stupid to have control over the whole underworld because this people, these people were just scapegoats for everyone to target, his real supporter are people no one will expect 

''King is it Evelyn that's targeting us'' Calyx asks

''No, the idiot isn't smart so he can't come up with such a smart plan'' King said 

''So we don't know who is targeting us'' Caspian said 

''I never said that'' King said
