Chris was sitting on a rotatable chair in one of his warehouses with his two legs placed on the table.
He was busy spinning the golden pistol between his fingers while examining the bullets. Suddenly he felt a cold metal on his neck, and immediately he frowned in surprise.
Being an experienced gun user, he easily detected that it was a gun that was pointed at his neck.
Without hesitating, he turned around and saw that it was Jeff standing right behind him with a smirk on his face while pointing his pistol at his neck.
"What is your problem? Jeff, have you gone nuts?" Chris asked Jeff angrily while fuming in anger, and immediately Jeff removed the gun from his neck and returned it to the side of his jeans.
He was very huge and tall; he had many scars from healed wounds on his face, and the tattoos on his two arms were visible because of the short-sleeve shirt he was putting on.
"Chill, bro, can't someone joke with you anymore? After all, I wasn't going to pull the trigger." Jeff replied with a smirk on his face.
"Whatever, man," Chris replied angrily.
"Come-on, Bro, chill. I didn't even know that the famous Chris William is afraid of death." Jeff said with a smirk on his face, but Chris stared at him angrily without replying.
"Please have a seat," Chris said to him while pointing at the steel chair beside him, and immediately Jeff drew the steel chair and sat down.
Without hesitating, Chris brought out a photo from the side pocket of his suit and handed it to him.
"Is he the target?" Jeff inquired, and Chris nodded in agreement.
"What should I do with him? Should I scare him off or terminate him?" Jeff inquired.
"Terminate him," Chris replied brusquely, and Jeff nodded in agreement.
"What about the payment?" Jeff inquired.
"Do the job and get your payment," Chris replied, and Jeff nodded in agreement before standing up from the chair.
As he was heading outside, Chris called him, and immediately he turned and looked at him.
"No mistakes," Chris informed him.
"You know me well; I don't make mistakes." Jeff replied before heading outside.
Once he left, Chris came out and discussed it with some of his guards watching over the warehouse before leaving.
"Mom, is it true?" The voice of Daniel asked angrily through the phone:
"Daniel, is it true that what? I'm not understanding what you are saying." Cynthia replied with a surprised tone across the phone.
Did you tell Lucy that we were using her?" Daniel inquired angrily.
"Did she tell you that?" Cynthia inquired over the phone.
"Mum, answer my question yes or no?" Daniel inquired angrily.
"Yes, I did," Cynthia replied from the other end.
"Well, congratulations; you have ruined everything. Jerry has proposed to Catherine, and we no longer have the support of Lucy. Let me see how you are going to stop Jerry and Catherine from getting married all by yourself," Daniel informed his mother angrily.
"What do you mean all by myself isn't going to help me?" Cynthia inquired from the other end.
"Mum, I'm done. I don't care if all the family's properties are willed to Jerry or not; that's now your business, not mine, and if ever Lucy decides to tell the truth to Jerry and Catherine, know that you are on your own," Daniel informed his mother angrily before hanging up the call.
"Daniel, please calm down; we can find a way out," Cynthia said across the phone before realizing that Daniel had hung up.
Once Daniel hung up the phone, he ignited his car and started driving towards a prestige restaurant.
Chris was just alighting from his car when Daniel drove up and parked beside him.
Hello Bro, How are you doing?" Chris asked Daniel, who was just coming down from the car.
"Fine, bro," Daniel replied while shaking Chris.
"Have you come to grab some bottles before heading home as usual?" Chris asked Daniel while smiling.
"Well, bro, not today; I came to see you," Daniel informed Chris, who furrowed his brows at him.
"Hope everything is okay." Chris asked Daniel, who nodded in agreement.
"OK, then let's go to my office," Chris said to Daniel as they started heading towards his office.
Before entering his office, he ordered the waitress to get them some drinks, which she did immediately.
"So, bro, what is this important issue you need to discuss with me?" Chris asked Daniel while sipping his drink.
"It's about the business proposal you made to me; I have thought about it and I want to join you," Daniel informed Chris before sipping his drink, and immediately Chris smiled at him.
"Are you sure about this?" Chris asked Daniel while smiling, and Daniel nodded in agreement.
"Do you know what it takes to join this business?" Chris asked Daniel, who furrowed his brows at him.
"What does it take?" Daniel asked in surprise, and Chris smiled.
"Not much," Chris replied, and immediately he took a notebook, tore a sheet from it, and started writing on it.
"These are the requirements for beginners," Chris said to Daniel while handing the sheet of paper to him.
"Once Daniel read the requirements, he widened his eyes in surprise.
"But, bro, the capital is too much. Where am I going to get such a big amount of money from?" Daniel inquired with a surprised tone.
"Well, Bro, I can't give you a chair and still teach you how to sit on it; you want to join the business, and I will help you in any way I can, but in order to do that, you have to help me help you." Chris said this to Daniel while sipping his alcohol.
"Come-on Bro I understand perfectly what you are saying, but the capital is too much; if I were to depend on my monthly salary, it will take two and a half years before I come up with that amount." Daniel said this to Chris sorrowfully, but Chris shook his head in disbelief.
"Aren't you tired of collecting salary every month from your brother? Can't you see Jerry? Don't you want to be like him, always being the one to give the command and having everything under your control?.
"Come on bro, think like a man; I was expecting a positive reaction, not this.."Chris spoke to Daniel angrily, but he remained silent.
"I will get the cash as soon as possible," Daniel said to Chris after being silent for some seconds, and Chris smiled at him.
"Now you are talking like a man," Chris said to Daniel while smiling, and Daniel faked a smile.
Afterwards, Chris took his time and explained everything concerning the business to Daniel.
They both discussed it for almost two hours before Daniel took his leave.
