When the BMW door opened, Mr. Orlando gazed back at Rome, entering the car.
Then he waited for him to shut the door before saying, “Good morning, young master.”
“Morning,” Rome absentmindedly mumbled with his head crowned with thoughts.
“Where to?”
“To the casino.”
Nodding slightly, Mr. Orlando focused on the road, start the car engine, and drove off.
After an hour's drive, he brought the car to a stop in front of the skyscraper, and Rome got out followed by K.
Then both men marched into the building, heading for the main hall.
Once they entered the room, the music stopped, the gambling ceased, and everyone’s gazes center on Rome.
Suddenly, they all stood to their feet, bowed slightly, and shouted in unison, “Morning, boss!”
“Brook, Blaze, Scar, meet me upstairs,” Rome said, shoving his hands into his pockets.
Then he walked away with K two steps behind him, and Brook, Blaze, Scar, following after him.
When they all arrived in the private room, Scar shut the door behind him. Then he stood humbly along with Brook and Blaze, and they waited patiently for Rome to say something.
With his gaze fixed on theirs, Rome leaned back on the couch, crossed his leg over the other, and coldly uttered, “There was a filial play yesterday.”
“Yes, boss. The Darklight Gang didn't carry through with Chloe's order since the warehouse was already on fire when they got there.” Blaze said, eyeing Brook.
“Sorry, boss, for the late update. We got the information this morning.” Scar mumbled, gazing at his shoes.
With a calm expression, Rome smirked and said, “Well, this still falls right in line with my plans. What I need to know now is, ‘why did a member of the Darklight gang lie.”
“We plan to visit their headquarters and get the answers.” Brook hastily intoned.
Standing to his feet, Rome stared at their faces one after the other and said, “Let's go.”
A few minutes later, two black SUVs arrived in the yard of an abandoned warehouse, and the five men standing guard at the door tightened their grip around the iron pumps in their hands.
“Let me handle this. Darklight is involved with my wife's cousin, and if you guys intervene, it will raise suspicion since you all work for my father.” Rome said on the phone.
“But, boss,” Brook mumbled, sounding nervous as he stared at Scar and Blaze.
“I can take care of myself.”
“I know… but…”
With his gaze focus on the phone screen, Blaze hesitated for a moment before saying, “Big boss isn't going to be happy if you get wounded.”
“Then I won't,” Rome said as he noticed K eyeing from the V-mirror.
“Okay, boss. We trust that you are capable of handling this.”
“Good. Stay in the car and don't get out no matter what.”
After ending the call, Scar stared at the tinted glass. Then he gazed at Brook and said, “Should we watch him from the cam monitor.”
“Of course. Turn it on.” Blaze hastily said.
Frowning, Rome stepped down from the car, wearing a black coat with a dark shade on his face, a black cap, and a mask.
