Cuzan Restaurant was a nice place to relax. Good service, humble sight, fresh air and beautiful ladies. I walked into the restaurant and once in I scanner the area for the face of the man I had memorised. It took me nearly minute to spot him. Marco was indeed right about Druwex Spenter. He did have sticky goons around him. That made it hard for me to spot him.
I approached his table and smiled at him on reaching him. He was dressed in red suit, a rare kind. I made a move to seat on his table but a goon held my hand and in a sharp movement, I brought him to the ground , pinning him to the ground with the weight of my body.
Another goon tried to touch me but I held him by the neck and moved closer to Druwex Spenter.
"Tell your goons to leave me or I will kill then all with no one left for you ." I threatened. Druwex immediately knew I was the assassin he had been waiting for. He looked at his goons and they came back to their former positions.
I smiled and dusted my suit. I took a seat to face Druwex while his goons stood around us protecting us like we were gold. The arrangement created attention, especially when I went against two of his goons.
"What would you like to drink ?" Druwex Spenter asked but I rejected it.
"Nevet mind. I do not drink when a serious matter is being discussed. " I said flushed with my pride. He ordered for something I did not care to know and the waiter left with our demands .
"You are Zhen right? " he asked as soon as he was done with the waiter. Damn ! I warned Marco never to disclose my name or that of brother to anyone . He will pay for this. Probably , a reduction in his percentage will teach him a great lesson .
"Yah , and you are Druwex Spenter. " I also wanted him to know that I knew his name also. But that was useless, he had nothing to hide but I did. I will surely need to kill him after this assignment.
"Where is your brother, Clen? My men were expecting two men that was why they went against you." he said . I was internally mad now. Was Marco that stupid? I will have deal with him. Was he such a cheap punk to release my name and my brother's to a client. This had finalised it, I was going to have to kill Druwex after this.
"I an the only person in this business. My brother would not be partaking. " I managed to say.
"That's better. Fewer hands give better results and the expenses are lower." Druwex stated. I smiled. What was wrong with this fucker ?
"Sorry to say buy you will still have to pay me the exact price budgeted. Six hundred thousand dollars. " I said. He smiled.
"Why would I do such? You are doing this alone and do not expect me to pay you the worth for two hands." Druwex said coldly
"Really. You will have to pay me what I want if you want me to give you my service." I said and relaxed on my seat. The waiter approached with Druwex's order.
"Okay. I agree. So when do you strike ?" Druwex asked.
I was not sure of when I would do the job so why guve a date ? I looked at him sternly.
"What do you mean ? I can't possibly give a date I can't keep to. I think it's better I do the job my way without you interfering in it , okay ?" I said.
"I need Romeo dead by Friday this week." Druwex whispered. I smiled , this guy could not give me a job and still control me on how and when to it .
"Look sir, I understand your anxiety but Romeo will be dead. I do give sleazy services , I am a professional assassin. " I said to ease his anxiety.
"I'm not anxious for his death, I am only worried. He plans to kill every member of the executive team on Saturday. I need to take him down." Druwex pleaded.
"If I may say is this why you decided to take him down ?" I asked.
"Yes. The faster you kill him the better for us."
"What do you mean us ?" I asked.
"He is a man of strategy and as such I think he will be able to trace you down. Just kill him before Saturday. " he said freaking out .
"Here , that is your money. Six hundred thousand dollars. " he said sliding a briefcase to me. I peeped into it and saw the fresh mint of dollars . I smiled, he was indeed rich. I was happy Clen was not with me. He would have asked for a fortune and that would spoil the deal.
"Consider the job done." I said closing the briefcase.
"When you fucking asshole? " he asked.
"Before Saturday as you wish. " I said but he was not satisfied.
"Be precise. " he questioned further. This man was really anxious and he did not know it.
"Look I do not have to be in the building on the day of his death. I do not want a trace." he added.
"Why don't you have a vacation for a few days at least no one will suspect you." I said dodging to tell him a date. I hated giving dates.
"That would not work. I can't be on a vacation when I was two days ago ? That would be more suspicious. " he said. He had won me now. I had to give a date .
"Friday. Let's say he dies Friday. " I assured. Druwex smiled at me.
"Good boy. Nice doing business with you." Druwex said as he stood up to offer me a handshake. I stood up and took his hand in a warm handshake.
"I will be waiting. " he said as he parted hands. I smiled at him.
"You can count on me. " I said.
I left the restaurant quickly. Mind raced as the money I was holding. I decided not take the same route I used to come. I flagged down a taxi and off we were moving to my place .
I began to think. I had cut a deal with Druwex and now the ball was in my court. Another kill for money. Another night of planing an execution and assassination. I had a lot to do. I had to research on Druwex Spenter and Romeo. I also had to plan my kill after surveying the building hosting my target and all this would eat my sleep but I was determined. If I wanted to defeat whichever of the Solomon Wroth Wis then I will need more weapons and the only way to do so was to get more clients and money. The faster the better.
