Chapter 396 - Mike, Blackskull And The Old Geezer
Chapter 396 – Mike, Blackskull And The Old Geezer
Michael soon returned after that, and boldly left the building under the hostile gaze of a group of armed gangsters who couldn't wait to tear him up!
But he just snickered at them, making the men more agitated as they are slowly on the verge of exploding in anger as they have never been taunted like this before!
But remembering the orders from their boss, they all held themselves back as they were afraid of the punishment that they would receive if they disobeyed his orders.
So they just glared at Micheal, wishing they could tear him to pieces!
And under the hostile gazes of many, Michael left the scene unimpeded.
At the same time, a couple of police officers are watching the crew of armed gangsters in the distance, along with the hotel security guards who are wiping off the sweat on their heads after the armed crew left after Michael, making all of them heave a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, in one of the cars of the gangsters.
"Sir, are we just going to swallow this? Did the boss tell us to go after that cocky bastard in a few days?" A young man in his teens asked the bald man sitting at the driver's side with gritted teeth, and everytime Michael's arrogant look flashed in his mind, he couldn't help but boil in anger!
"Be careful kid, that person, I know him. No, should I say we have heard of him? He's very dangerous, you should know him very well as the gang had sent people to kill him before, only for them to die by his hands" the bald man said, and it terrified the young man as he finally realized who the person was from earlier.
But thinking that what happened earlier was too unrealistic, and something that should only happen in the movies, the young man said, "But he was just alone earlier, we could have jumped at him at the same time and taught him a lesson. I doubt he'll be able to retaliate"
Hearing what their little newbie said, the people inside the car could only shake their heads while smiling bitterly, and one of them said, "And then what? Start another gang war? There weren't only police officers there earlier, there were also a few guys from the two gangs. They would certainly join the fray if a fight happened to break out between us and Mike. They would certainly help, then more and more people from the three sides would certainly head over to help until it will turn into an all out war!"
"Kid, you haven't experienced the gang war that happened five years ago between the three gangs and the police, but all of us here except you, were there. A lot of people died, weren't you asking how we got so many scars in our bodies? We got most of them from that fight, all of us were lucky to survive that night and of course, we also got a lot of money as compensation from the group because of it. That's the reason why our group, War Angel and War Temple are all wary of starting another gang war. No one wants to experience it again except for a few extremist groups in the gang" the bald man said with a voice full of horror mixed with reminiscence.
"Then what was the reason that we even made time to go when we were busy with our own matters?" the young man said, a little angered and at the same time fearful while imagining a scene of a chaotic war between the three groups with weapons flying everywhere, and he couldn't help shudder!
Thinking that the desired effect of scaring the young man was achieved, the driver laughed and said, "Hahaha! We were just there as a show of force! It's to make sure the boss is safe and to prevent anyone who has mischievous thoughts from trying to take advantage of the situation earlier. But if Mike, that devil, killed the boss, then we can only grit our teeth and try to kill him!"
"Even at the risk of starting a full blown war!?" exclaimed the young man as his eyes widened in shock!
"Of course! Even if we are outnumbered, we are Blackskull! The synonym of fear! We won't go down without a fight, we'll make sure to bring as many of those bastards with us to our graves! Isn't that right brothers!?"
""Yeah!!!""
All of them inside the car gave a blood boiling roar, except for one man.
The young man looked at his companions who are shouting and laughing like maniacs and thought, 'Sh*t, I think I just joined a group of lunatics! Can I still leave!? These maniacs! Talking about death like it wasn't nothing!'
'I still want to grow old, start a family with a hotty and enjoy the riches that the world could offer! Only a dumbass would willingly jump to their deaths! Thank god, no one did something stupid earlier!'
*****
Michael returned home soon after.
Meanwhile, Antoine wasn't in the mood to have fun in the casino anymore and quickly brought his relieved wife to their car, and while in their vehicle on the way home. He called his men and quickly got them to work while he personally contacted relevant departments for the favor that Michael had asked of him.
And it didn't even take long before someone got back to him, and informed him that people from the IRS had indeed arrived earlier today in the city.
Antoine put his phone down, and when his wife saw that, she quickly asked, "So? Did you get what you wanted?"
"People from the IRS did arrive earlier today, but they came here secretly," Antoine answered, sounding a little annoyed about it.
"Really? Even our hounds didn't pick up their scent?" his wife said astounded as she wasn't expecting that their spies didn't actually find out about the IRS little excursion.
Then she continued, "So what now?"
Antoine looked at the passing scenery from the window and said, "We can only wait now"
"Just tell me if you need my help," said his wife.
Antoine turned his head towards her and smiled as he place his arm around her shoulders and brought her close towards him and said, "Don't worry dear, others might be afraid of facing that old geezer, but not me"
"Because he still need to see if he can withstand the wrath of Blackskull!"
