Development for the Black Dragon

Hearing what Mr Benjamin had said made Demar think to himself that Mr Benjamin was right because when he went up against Mr Brooks' men, his men could barely make it out alive.

"I am afraid that you are right. We'll have to make some arrangements with recruiting new members, expanding our business and location and last make some business partners."

Demarco, who was quietly listening, said, "I also agree. But how will we go about finding new members and making business partners?"

"That's where I come in. I have been doing this for 20 years of my life. It will be a breeze," Mr Benjamin said with a smirk on his face.

Demar and Demarco were uncomfortable with the look on Mr Benjamin's face but said nothing, as they both know that Mr Benjamin wouldn't lead them into a trap; they were family.

After finishing discussing their plans, Mr Benjamin left the basement and went back to the top, leaving Demar and Demarco alone in the basement.

"Have you come up with a design for our symbol?" Demarco asks Demar, who was writing an address on a paper.

Demar look up at Demarco after finishing writing the address and said, "I came up with a design."

"Let me have it."

Demar left the basement for five minutes as he went up to his room for the sketch he had drawn of the symbol for the Black Dragon.

When he came back, he handed the sketch to Demarco, then took back his seat.

On the paper, there was a sketch of a black dragon with dark wings holding an eclipsed moon.

Seeing that, Demarco asks, "This is the design?"

"What? Is it that bad?" Demar replied as he scratched behind his head.

"Well no. But is this the symbol?"

"Yes. It's the symbol and we will have it on each and everyone's arm, along with clothes designed for every man for missions with this symbol on it. I was also thinking about having a ring with the name of our team and a black gem in the ring."

Hearing what Demar had come up with, Demarco replied, "I don't know why they always give you the job of being creative, but whatever it will have to do."

"I am good at being creative!" Demar cried as if he was a baby.

"Yeah right, anyway goodnight," Demarco said as he was leaving along with the sketch so he can digitally design it and make a few calls to start preparing the orders of the mission clothing.

At Dr Joseph hospital. . .

Zora still hadn't woken, which would have made the second day she had been unconscious for.

As her doctor, Dr Joseph, hourly checked on her to see if she was doing any better and if there was any change, he would alert Demar about it as soon as he spotted it.

Dr Joseph has been a doctor for over 3 years and he has never been encountered by a person who has been exposed to drugs and can still have a healthy baby.

It was a rare case for him, but he was still doing his best to help, even if he couldn't.

He had also found out that Zora haven't only been drugged twice but around five times before she was pregnant.

If he hadn't removed the toxic drugs which had entered her system within the 48 hours, it wouldn't have only killed her but also made her blood poisonous.

It would have become poisonous because since she had been exposed to such harmful drugs before and then this toxic drug would have combined into one powerful poison.

That after extracting her toxic blood, he had ensured to dispose of it properly or someone could find it and create that powerful poison which wouldn't have a cure for anyone who would have received it.

And if someone was to come in contact with that poison, they wouldn't survive for 48 hours. Just after taking the poison, it would have taken effect.

Zora could live up to 48 hours because it hadn't been combined with the other drugs in her system and being exposed to harmful drugs gave her a little more time to live.

We should all say thanks to Dr Joseph for keeping her safe for this long.

Fifth-day. . .

Four days have passed, and Zora still was unconscious. Demar visit her every day during those four days, not just because he wanted to see if there was any change but because he wanted to be there for her when she woke.

Unfortunately, today he could not visit her as he had business to take care of.

Today Demar had to split his team for persons who were going to get their arms to tattoo with the symbol, those who were going to get their measurements for new uniforms for missions; those who were going on trades and those who were going with Demar and Mr Benjamin to speak and make deals with other mafias.

It was going to be a very busy day for him and he was feeling disappointed as he could not see Zora today.

At Demar's mansion. . .

"Has everyone received their task for today?" Demarco asks who was standing beside Demar, who was standing beside Mr Benjamin.

"Yes."

"Alright let's go!"

Since Demar's mother came along with Mr Benjamin, Demar allowed her to stay by Mr Benjamin's side, but he would preferably feel more comfortable if she was at the Bridal store that way she wouldn't get hurt or be in the way of anyone.

He was going to be in the presence of ten mafias and every mafia had a different way of doing things so he was uncomfortable with his mother coming along but he couldn't leave her at the mansion as no one was going to be present there and the Bridal store was much further away from his mansion.

Having her come along was the only option he had.

"We have arrived at where we will meet the ten neighbouring mafias in Night Love city who also dislike Mr Brooks," Mr Benjamin said as he, Demarco, Demar, Demar's mother and the Black Dragon were standing at the entrance of a huge mansion.
