it‘s sale to walk to the warehouse...”

Parung Matt on the back, Elijah smiled and teased, “Grow some backbone, man”

‘t have a backbone. I‘m just worried about your safety. Your father will not be happy with my performance

if a bullet or knife strikes through your heart. Matt thought to himself, keeping quint about his concerns. ‘I

don‘t want this to go South, boss,

Waking his head lightly, Elijah pulled out his phone, scrolled through his contact, and Nopped at

Jerome‘s number, dialing it without hesitation,

The phone rang twice before there was a click and Jerome answered, “Hey, boss.”

“I‘m outside. Come out,” Elijah ordered calmly, his eyes scanning the surrounding area.

The lime went quiet for a time that felt too long to Elijah, and he eyed Matt, feeling contemplated

because of his man’s warning and his own desire to figure out what was going

Finally, a sound from the phone speaker made Elijah look back at the warehouse door, seeing tie door

“Poss,” Matt whispered, standing his ground to stay alert, knowing that they were in foreign frrritory and

that whoever had opened the door was either a friend or foe.

Finally, when the door was up and Jerome abruptly ended the call, Elijah saw men, robust, tall, short,

and muscular guys, walking out of the door one step at a time.

And when the last guy stepped out, Elijah could guess that they were close to sixty men, and when he

eyed Matt, he could see the look of composure on his face and yet stress in his eyes as he clenched his

fists, “Boss, this will be the best time to get into the car, now!” Matt whispered, yet his voice was firm, but

his eyes showed his fear.

Studying the faces of these men and how their hands were positioned in their front, Elijah‘s brows

snapped in concentration, and then said, “No, wait...”

Suddenly, Dice made his way ahead of all the men and approached Elijah, his expression unreadable

and serious,

When he stopped in front of Elijah, two steps away, both men looked into each other‘s eyes, holding

intense eye contact, and even though their eyes seemed like they were screaming at each other, there

seemed to be a calmness in between them, and neither one moved.

At first, Elijah simply kept staring at Dice, not blinking an eyelash, until eventually, Dice spoke, “You came

to a remote area with no sense of danger and trusted my son‘s words blindly... I thought you were

smart,”

A smirk appeared on Elijah‘s lips upon hearing those words, and as soon as the smile grew larger, he

chuckled softly and then said, “It seemed like I was right.”

The grin still lingered on his face, but his eyes told Dice that it wasn’t sarcasm, and he watched that

smile softly fade as Elijah said, “I am willing to risk myself by giving you guys the benefits of the doubt

and come here, but if I go missing or let say dead, I bet it wouldn‘t be fun for you guys to have the chief

of police on your asses...” His words left everyone speechless, including Matt, who did not know where

his boss was going with this bluff, and yet still kept his expression passive as he watched the scene

unfold before him.

Dice, however, was surprised as well, but he did not show it in the slightest. But before he could utter a

word, Elijah continued, “You don‘t know how much hell I can rain on all of your asses from beyond the

grave or tied in some dark, smelling room. It wouldn‘t be pretty for all of you, truth be told.”

“You sound like death doesn‘t scare you... because you are staring right in the eyes of it and not the

slightest bit concerned that your soul can get snatched anytime with just one word... actually two words,

‘Kill him.” Dice uttered firmly, staring hard at Elijah, who smirked once again as he lifted his chin slightly.

“A man lives to die. That is the only thing that is fixed in his life. So why fear death when you are going to

die someday, anyway?”

“Hmm, make sense.”

Suddenly, one of the men snapped his brows and said, “See! I told you guys this guy can‘t be trusted…

He has a connection with the police!!”

“Shut up, Rick!” Jerome said angrily, glaring at Rick who sealed his lips together instantly.

Sighing, Dice looked back at his men, seeing a sense of worry and concern painted across each of their

faces. He then glanced back over at Elijah, his eyebrows raising slightly. “Why are you getting involved

with a bunch of robbers, if you have the police at your back?” Dice inquired, sounding suspicious as he

studied Elijah‘s facial expressions. “To have the best of both worlds... I mean the police can not kidnap

someone for me, can they? “Elijah questioned nonchalantly,

The men’s expressions softened after those words and Larry looked at Rick and said, “This guy is

dangerous and clever. I see why the boss and young boss are so into working with him, and I approve of

him... I like his boldness.”

“Well, I do see what they see in him... Plus, the boss said that he made a good offer of one hundred

thousand dollars to us... so I don‘t mind working for him.”

Watching the faces of the men whispering, Elijah then focused back on Dice and said, “So what now...

Are you guys going to kill me, kidnap me, beat the shit out of me, or tell me about

this rat you guys caught?” His words made all the men snap their heads back to Elijah, eyes wide open

and jaws hanging loose, shocked by his statement.

“Which one of those is going to happen?!” Elijah asked after a long moment of silence. Suddenly, Dice

smirked and said in a loud voice, “Well, I wanted you to meet the entire crew and for them to see their

new leader... the man that their boss and his son would boldly bow to because of his dignity and honor...

The man that they are proud to be a part of... And most of all, the man who is also part of our family

now.” At last, Matt could finally breathe, feeling relieved that they weren‘t going to hurt Elijah, though he

still stood in his place, watching everything unfold. “Men, Elijah... Elijah, the men!” Dice yelled, catching

everyone‘s attention. “We are at your service, Boss Elijah!!” All the men said almost in unison, bowing

their heads to Elijah in respect. When Dice extended his hands to shake Elijah‘s hand, Elijah grabbed his

wrist and pulled him into a hug, tapping him three times on the back before releasing him. “So, what do

you have for me, concerning the rat?” Elijah asked, folding his arms against his chest as he observed the

men. “Well. The guy confessed after a little bit of conversation with him,” Dice said with a pleased smile,

causing Elijah to look down at his bruised knuckles, 2
