Chapter 16.

'Really is this a punishment; a month's break!' Everyone shouted in their mind and had depressed expressions as they also wanted this kind of punishment once in a while.

=========

After dealing with the threat, we went to the main office or Boss Zoya's office where I saw her for the first time and fought her for a day straight.

She comfortably sat on her seat, and we stood in front of her.

"Now we are done with the problem, we have to take care of the traitor." She had a serious expression, so I didn't joke around.

"It's 6 in the morning, Boss, I want to rest," Rose complained, giving out a big yawn.

There was a mild dark circle under her eyes indicating she need some rest.

Zoya nods, silently permitting them to go and rest, as she was still young.

"Daughter, I will accompany you. Boss, if you don't mind." Mia asked with concern in her eyes for her young daughter, who was not too young and left.

Leaving behind only 5 people in the room, Zoya, Jill, Ada, Claire, and Micheal. "Every gang is still in the building Boss, should we interrogate everyone…?"

She inquired as she was unsure what they should do, so she suggested her idea to Zoya.

"... What do you think about the situation, Micheal?" After a brief silence, she asked me, but I already was occupied deducting who was behind this.

"Yo, Micheal, Down to earth," Ada said, however, didn't get any kind of response, then she grins mischievously while slowly closing up the distance between him and her.

"Waaaaah!" I was startled a bit because I was deep thinking and felt someone nibbled my earlobe from behind.

"HAAHA HAAAHA"

I looked around and found that everyone was laughing at me except Zoya who had a defeated expression now, but also she was holding her laughter.

"You did this, Ada, really. Just don't do that again." I didn't mind her childish behavior much, giving her a warning in the end.

"You are so cute, Micheal…." "I want to hug you." Jill and Claire gave their teasing remarks, which I disregard.

*ahem "I apologize, Micheal, they sometimes do childish things like this."

"No worries, sometimes I don't mind. Anyway, I think this suicidal attack must be done by an intelligent person because it was a foolproof plan he/she must be planning at least for months or years." I conjecture due to a lack of information.

"I can understand, they were quite prepared." She added leaning a bit forward.

"My prime suspicion goes to the Mishima clan, Port Mafia, and some major corporations because first, we have a lot of bad blood between us upon many things like finance, weapon supplies, political affairs, and so on."

"Your assumption has some points but you also said we and we understood that someone from the inside is giving off information right," Zoya said, narrowing her eyes while looking outside with concentration, deeply thinking about the topic of who could be the traitor.

"Give me a few days and an intelligence-gathering team for a week after they return here. Though I have some names, I need concrete info before declaring it." I rest assured her that I found it out.

"Ok, then. I am leaving all this on your capable shoulder."

I nodded in approval and took a breath of relief. "Boss Zoya I need some funds for buying a separate house for myself," I told her as I remember my original house was destroyed by the Mafia guys a week ago, so I was living on rent but that rent period is over.

"Hmm. Why don't you live in the executive tower for a while as we are short on money due to this expansion process, just for a month."

"What!!!!" Four of them said at the same time in utter astonishment as if the Boss had told them to do something absurd.

"AHAH AHAH" Observing their reaction, I laughed out loud as it was funny. I took my phone out, which I received from Zoya during the meeting, and took a pic of their priceless expression.

*Click *Click *Click *Click

Taking multiple photos, I was satisfied and pocketed it. "Boss he is a man, we won't allow you to disrespec-" Zoya gave them a deadly glare halting their mouth from speaking any further.

'Her eyes are glowing' I gulp in fear for a second, she is a scary woman.

"See they don't mind, and I hope you won't mind my decision at all." She calmly said with a smile which was terrifying, so I didn't argue much. 'How bad it could be…'

========= Time skip a few hours

'And that was one of the mistakes that I regret for eternity.'

I left the headquarters to get my belongings with me first and then shift to the executive tower as soon as possible.

My expectations were high regarding the place or temporary home. It could be as lavish as the headquarters we have, after traveling for a while in the truck I finally arrived at the tower.

"It's disappointing, to be honest," I muttered in disbelief, not a single word came out of my mouth that how much of a let-down it was.

"Just a 7-floor building….even its exterior is nothing compared to HQ," I said in a dejected tone at my expectation and anticipation, even my mood was by now ruined.

"Sir, don't judge the book by its cover. You haven't even seen inside, I guarantee you will love it." The female grunt said to cheer me up and gave in to her word.

"Might be possible… I can only hope for the best." I took some luggage with me, leaving heavy things for her or other grunts to pick up.

Furthermore, I took the first step inside and was speechless, not even a word came out of my throat of the sheer amount of shock. Even my soul was flabbergasted, seeing an unimaginable scene in front of my naked eyes.

'.... I hope Zoya has unseen holy water; otherwise, I am going to rip my eyes out.' Rubbing my eyes and forehead a bit, I took some deep breaths to calm down.

"Wrong place I guess, I was informed to go to the executive tower, not a wh***house," I muttered softly and turned around.

"YO Michael!" I halted as I heard a familiar voice calling me out.
