Chapter 13

"Speak what you want Dazai or should I give you what you desire the most…. Death," 

========

"Ohh Mia, Long time no see. I thought you died after our last meeting." The boy named Dazai said with a chuckle while coming closer.

Seeing Dazai openly coming closer their mobs aim their weapon at me and Mia. Unlike the previous gang, these mafia guys had suppressed guns with 10 times more advanced guns.

"Calm down guys. No need for useless threats, they are stronger than us." Dazai stated without hesitation looking at me in the eyes, making some deep assumptions on his own.

"Quite intimidating isn't it.... Micheal." He asked and called my name which was fascinating as to how he knew my name. 'Must be the power of the Mafia I guess.'

"..." I didn't reply, just stared at others. "Why so cold Man, we just met."

"State what you want we don't have time a*****e." Mia lost her temper and aggressively said.

"Chill woman, we are here for him," He said pointing his finger at the dead man. "But you sent him to hell."

"Let's go Micheal leave them," Mia told me as we were about to cross them a big phantom who looked like a woman appeared with a long sword.

"Leave them Koyo, we don't want casualty when there is no need." The old man said, lighting his cigarette trying to reason with her. 

"Hump! Fine." She said with a scoff and the giant woman phantom vanished.

"His eyes are the same as mine," Dazai mutters and then orders the mobs to properly search the warehouse. 

=====

Mia drove the bike while I sat back holding her firmly from behind. "You smell good Mia, the soap must be quite explosive…means expensive…" I teased her a bit for fun.

"Shut up, we have to hurry up." She retorted while speeding up the bike.

Soon after we reached the headquarters without any more problems or I thought as the Boss lady was standing crossing her arm from her look she must be waiting.

"You are 10 minutes late, care to explain?" She inquired calmly waiting for a response.

"Ask him, I told him twice." She pointed at me, leaving me behind.

"We were attacked, my hand is broken, then Port Mafia arrived at the end." I summarized what happened in a nutshell.

"*Sigh Just because it's your first day, I am letting you free. Later debrief me about all of this, till then follow me." 

Then we followed the Boss to the conference room, every corner, every hall everyone was bowing in a respectful way which was interesting.

"Before we go in, let's change clothes. Maid." A maid appeared behind me as the Boss called her. 

She touches me and Boss results in a bright flash engulfing us changing our clothes into some traditional old wear.

'So many women here….' The first thought that came to mind.

Inside the big room, there were 50 chairs, and were occupied by 80% of women of different shapes and sizes but what was common in them was a cold glare toward me.

Boss sat on the throne-like chair which was different in design compared to others and clearly showcasing that she is superior.

"Micheal stand here." She called me, pointing to the location to stand which was next to her.

I walked slowly glancing at the women sitting in their respective seats, I also heard them mutter or whisper about me.

Ignoring them all as if they don't exist, I stood next to Boss observing every single individual present.

"So before we start the meeting, I know every one of you has many doubts and questions about him like what a man is doing here, How he dares to stand next to me, is he a big shot, etc, etc" She spoke in an uninterested and bored tone trying to make a point and take a pause in her speech. 

"All related to his power, capability, all in all about him which is…. reasonable. So I will tell you 2 things very clearly to save time and show you a short clip." She continued her speech but now she gets dead serious as she stares at everyone deeply into their eyes, intimidating them.

The atmosphere in the room before was calm, chattering, and friendly however now it was tense, pressured and excessively grave so no one spoke and nodded in agreement.

Few of them were afraid, some were passionate and generally were serious. Observing the response Boss finally said, "Micheal is a new executive as well as my future successor for the syndicate."

As she said that everyone starts chattering like kids in primary grade but not for too long as she silently asserts her dominance as a Boss with just a threatening glare which was enough to tame them.

"And second, 10 more gangs and 5 more families will be joining us just because the port mafia are taking over others." 

A random lady in the first seat raised her hand. 

"Speak." Boss permitted her to say so she stood up and questioned."

"Boss with all due respect, in the long run, it might be a problem like the Government hunting them with evidence and proofs, Port mafia anger toward us for backing up these gangs, plus these gangs are hyperactive which is a loss for us most of them have a bounty on them by various criminal organizations." She pointed out her doubt related to the expansion of the syndicate.

"Hm, no as per the deal, all of them will be converted into a passive family and gang, they are backing out of the fights."

"In exchange for resources, they are willing to be under our banner majorly because they know we have the permit now which is a win-win situation for us." She explains to her subordinate with a mischievous grin on her face.

"No one else has doubts then everything is finalized, we are going to expand. Last Mia show them the clip, and all of them doubted that I made a wrong decision especially, these gang members." She said in mild anger, tapping her finger on the armrest.

"No, Boss we didn't meant that by the words, it's just unacceptable.. during all our hard times you were with us like a backbone…. a pillar of support." Some random man, getting a bit emotional, explained the misunderstanding.

"Yes, Boss. That rich Manw**** is correct, we respect and your decisions without doubt or complaint are fine with anything but him being your successor is quite hard to digest for us…. Please understand." A woman insults the man for delivering the wrong message which he did not do but ignores the woman's comment and she tells her reasons.

One by one everyone tried to talk with the Boss but she was more stubborn and shushed them again. Mia brought her the clip in a CD format and played it in front of everyone.
