Drew had just finished inspecting the new house and met all the staffs.
Apart from Butler Spencer, there was a Car wash man named Kome, a gardener named Rodney, two cooks named Mary and Anna, an engineer named Matt and a janitor named Caleb.
"Lunch is ready!" Mary announced to Drew who was busy watching a reality show on tv.
"Where is Jay?" Drew asked.
"I think he suddenly recieved a call and rushed out" Mary replied.
"Okay"
Proceeding to the dining table, he was stunned silly when he saw the huge amount of food.
It was like a mini feast.
Misunderstanding Drew's silence for dissatisfaction, Mary hurriedly explained.
"If the food is not up to your taste, i can have Anna prepare another one.
An amused smile played on Drew's lips.
"Then what happens to this one?"
"I'll throw them in the trash"
Drew blanched. Damn, these rich people were quiet wasteful. Afraid that Mary would really do what she said, he sat down and began eating.
Within the span of twenty minutes, all the row of delicacies on the table vanished into his stomach. Drew was shocked himself.
He never knew he had such a huge appetite.
But he had to admit that he enjoyed the food. It was very tasty and nutritious at the same time. Just thinking of himself eating this sort of food everyday had him smacking his lips in satisfaction.
Whoever said life was cruel?!
Just then his phone suddenly rang. The caller was Hugo,
"Hello?"
"S-Sir, there is big trouble!" Hugo said shakingly.
"What happened?" Drew didn't dare take the matter lightly.
He had long regarded this man as a close family friend. He so much admired his familial loyalty and honesty.
"My son woke up just as you said"
Drew smiled. So that was it? man! He almost had a scare.
"That should be a good thing right?" but Drew's gut feeling prompted him that there was more than see the eye.
"But he began acting rather strangely"
"Strangely?"
"Yes. When he woke up, he suddenly began exhibiting inhumane strength. We thought it was nothing to fret about. But just a few hours ago, a family stormed in angrily, saying that Rick strangled their cow to death"
Drew's eyes bulged in shock when he heard these words. Strangle a cow to death?
Even the fittest human could not possibly achieve such feat. Only a Deviant could.
But that was impossible! the last time he checked, Rick was a human!
"I'll be there in a jifty!"
Boss Jay sat on a soft majestic chair made of leopard skin as he glared at two of his core subordinates kneeling fearfully before him.
"What did i instruct you both a few days ago before i left?" he asked them calmly.
However, the calmness in his tone made the two subordinates shiver as they felt goosebumps all over.
"You said to protect a lady called Amelia!" one of them finally mustered the covrage to speak.
If the people saw him, they would instantly recongnize him.
He was an extremely ruthless gangster who went by the name Baby Nas. Yet the 'ruthless gangstar was shivering and acting docile before Boss Jay.
"Good. Now what is this shit i am hearing you say about her being kidnapped. Are you lot that incompetent?!" Boss Jay finally lost it, snapping angrily.
"S-Sir, you can just return the protection money right?" the other subordinate, a famous gangster by the name Leyold finally spoke.
"Bastard!!" Boss Jay's powerful aura surged forth, slamming against Leyold, causing the latter to vomit blood.
Baby Nas almost peed his pants when he saw this. The leader was still strong as ever!
"If a single hair is hurt on that lady's body, hell will break lose! how dare you bastards not treat my words seriously huh?"
Boss Jay sensed an headache coming. After he recieved a call that Amelia was kidnapped, he swiftly rushed over.
He didn't want Drew to learn of this matter, for fear that the Grand Patriarch would see him as incompetent.
Before Baby Nas and Leyold could snap out of their daze, Boss Jay barked out a series of orders.
"Spread our men all around this village and the surrounding areas. We must not let the kidnappers escape!"
Baby Nas and Leyold upon sensing the seriousness in their boss tone, didn't dare dily dally. They swiftly hurried to carry out his orders.
Boss Jay frowned, a look of hesitation fleeted in his eyes before they became filled with determination.
He swiftly dialed a series of numbers and put a call across.
"Oh? if it isn't the mighty Jay. Why did you call me huh?" a cold voice rang from the other end.
Shockingly, the voice belonged to Shadow Shot.
"Look Shadowshot. I know we are enemies, but can you put our dispute aside and help me out on something?"
"Haha. I thought the Mightly Jay can do as he pleases. Just what does he need this lowly one's help for?" Shadowshot remarked sarcastically.
"Plus, you don't even sound sincere. That's it, i'm hanging up.."
Boss Jay panicked.
"Wait!"
"Hm? Does the great Jay have something else to say?"
Boss Jay clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"I'll pay you two million for your help"
"Are you feeding a dog? i want Sword Lust Casino" Shadowshot snickered
Boss Jay exploded.
"Don't you dare go too far!"
Sword Lust casino was his personal property that he created after pouring in years of his blood and sweat. It was also his main money making crib.
"Ten million! nothing more!" Boss Jay gritted.
That was the farthest he could go. If the other party still refused to co-operate, he would just have to inform the Grand Patriarch about Amelia's kidnap.
"It's a deal then"
Shadowshot hung up and turned towards Mr. Lewis. He was in the midst of report ing some crucial information to the latter, when Boss Jay call came in.
"Who was that?" Mr. Lewis asked, taking a drag from the fat cigar trapped between his two fingers.
Shadowshot briefly explained the details of their conversation and why the latter needed his help.
After hearing everything, Mr. Lewis dropped his cigar and fell into contemplation.
"Sir, do you think this is a trap?" Shadowshot asked.
"Quite unlikely. From my observation, Boss Jay isn't the scheming part. Although i might be wrong. But chances of this being a sinister scheme is extremely low" Mr. Lewis stroked.
"If my guess is right, the lady he's searching for has a high chance of being related to that youth he left Strawberry village a few days ago" Mr. Lewis continued.
"Hm?" Shadowshot's interest was piqued.
"I am really disappointed that you still haven't heard the news" Mr. Lewis shook his head.
"What news?"
"Two days ago, the infamous Don Mandigo got killed by a former gang boss named Jay"
"What?!" Shadowshot blurted out in shock.
As a fellow gang boss, he knew who Don Mandigo was. He was ranked in the Avalon list of the top 20 strongest fighters in the whole of West Wing.
Although he was confident in his strength, those in the Avalon list were existences he didn't dare provoke.
Shadowshot felt sweat drench his back. If Boss Jay could defeat somebody in the Avalon list, didn't that mean he could easily deal with him if he saw it fit.
He swiftly thanked his stars for Mr. Lewis warning.
"S-Should i return the ten million?" he asked Mr. Lewis.
"It's your choice. But just know that Boss Jay is an existence you shouldn't dare provoke"
