Chapter 70
(Foul Game)
The EWR airplane landed at New York at exactly 6pm. Wizard and Jade alighted, with their luggage each. Their cars were yet to arrive through the cargo plane.

“Are we waiting for the cars?” Jade asked. He shook his head, typing into his phone. “It’s late already…we need to be in the clan as soon as possible. I have made provisions for the cars’ safety, someone I know will take charge of it for now…he runs a car dealing company. He will be here for it..I’ve given my statement” he replied her. She sighed, gulping in.

They were both properly disguised, having face cap to help hide their identity. “I need to call Kyla” Jade noted, bringing out her phone. They both walked out of the airport into the city. She dialed Kyla’s number which rang for a while before connecting.

“Jade ..where are you?” Kyla voiced out even before she could speak. She sensed panic in her voice for the first time..she knows that Kyla cares much about her. She can’t afford to be a disappointment, but that might be the case though.

“Jade, are you there?” Kyla asked again, she found her voice this time. “Yes boss, we are currently in New York, we will take a cab now to the main city. We will need transport back to the clan” Jade noted

“Transport? What about your car?”

“It’s not arrived yet…We can’t wait any longer.”
“Yea that’s true…what route are you both taking” she inquired. Jade returned the question to Wizard.

“She’s asking of the route” “We’ll take the countryside, along Adirondack Mountains, taking the woods is the best option for our safety” Wizard replied into the phone. “Fine…if that’s the case, once you arrive the main city, send a beep, a car will come for you two.” Kyla replied, ending the call.
“Jade” Wizard called out, noticing how distance she look. She hasn’t been herself right from the plane. “Yes” “She has ended the call, come on, let’s leave this place” he muttered, grabbing her hand tightly in his. He felt her shudder. There is something really wrong with her, it necessarily might not be the death news affecting her. He thought, placing a soft kiss on lips

“We are gonna be ok, trust me” he cooed. She nodded, as they make their way to board a taxi.
A taxi drove by, as the driver popped his head out of the window. “Hey…main city…you’re going?” He questioned, as other cab drivers would do. The duo looked at each other. Jade shrugged. Wizard bent forward to speak with him
“We will be taking the route towards Adirondack Mountains….only us”

The cab man shook his head in disapproval . “That route is the farthest route ever…it’s quite dangerous” he noted with a snarl on his face, pretending to turn on the ignition.

“We will double your pay” Jade spoke up. They both know that no one will want to drive down that path due to the myth behind those mountains, so a little bribe might do. The cab man sighed, contemplating.

“We will triple it…trust me” Wizard added. He frown. “Ok fine…get in..the drive might be quite bumpy, so use your belts.” He ordered as they entered the vehicle.

The Woods★
A number of Hades’ men could be seen lurking around the woods. Their spy from the airport had given them clue on the route the duo were taking; luckily, that was the woods decided on, for the operation to be carried out.

Don and Mercury arrived, giving orders to the men to spread out. Checking his phone, a smile lit up his face on seeing the message sent.

“They got into the car of one of us” the message read. “Good timing” he muttered turning to Mercury.

“Are we gonna ki*ll them?” She asked, wanting a positive answer. He smirked. “Not yet, I wanna have a deal with Kyla. Two men are down, two will be with us soon..that’s gonna be a good bargain for the properties she own.

“She doesn’t look rich to me” Mercury snarled. He chuckled. “A lady that has an underground car industry isn’t poor; not to talk of some of her father’s properties that she handles without anyone’s knowledge. She is a low key babe….but I did my assignment..that’s why I’m called Don” he boasted, grabbing her hand as they walk into the woods.

6:36pm
Jade’s POV
I took another deep breath for the umpteenth time, as my eyes wander back to the front mirror. I could feel the driver’s gaze on me only to confirm it. He was staring at us again. This is the fifth time I caught him doing that, and the worst of all is that I feel this dark aura whenever he stares.

I stated feeling uncomfortable with the journey few minutes after it began, but Wizard has been slightly calming me down by grabbing my hand in his. He wears this smiley face whenever he looks at me, mouthing the usual word he had been saying right from the plane. “We are gonna be ok”

We were already getting deep into the woods, each side of the road is covered with tall trees of all kind, only the sound of the car and perhaps birds in the forest could be heard. My panic increased; this strange feelings means danger.

“Jade..” Wizard called out. Perhaps I zoned out. “I want you to hold me” I said, trying to unlock the seat belt, but it wouldn’t bulge.

“Wait, let me help you with it” Wizard proposed, trying to unclamp it, but it seem futile
“And why the hell is this thing not coming off” Wizard roared, trying out his; still the same. “f**k” he muttered.

“Don’t panic, the belt is meant to come off when we arrive our location. That’s the way it does” the driver noted. “”And what’s that supposed to mean, why ask us to fix it in the first place?” Wizard yelled angrily.
“Just be patient..I tell you, it’s going be fine when we get….” He was yet to complete his statement when some people dressed in black with guns approach the car.

“Damn…turn around” I scream, trying to pick out my pen knife to cut the belt. I could feel my heart in my chest. All I could hear was Wizards loud voice ordering the driver to retreat, but the unusual happened. The cab man brought out a gun, corking it as he stepped on the brakes, switching off the car engine.

“One more move from you two; then consider yourselves dead” he threatened, stepping out of the car. The other men came closer, wearing wide smirks on their faces. Wizard grabbed my hand, squeezing it tightly. That’s a reassuring sigh.

The men were yet to open the door; we are surrounded already, and our guns are not close by, except my pen knife. Perhaps this is the only chance we have left on earth, it will be a sin for me to keep this news to myself without him knowing.

“Wizard” I called out in a shaky voice. I could feel his panic through his hand. He gulped in, facing me with a quite disappointed face.

“I’m sorry Jade…just be strong please….we are gonna get out of here.”

I don’t know if he is trying to make me feel secured or has a plan in mind, because all I see is a lost game. They might ki*ll us..

“I’m pregnant” I dropped the bombshell, letting out a tear. He turned sharply to look at me, letting out a silent gasp as his hand loosen it’s grib on mine. I know that I just added fuel to fire, he would be feeling guilty and want to protect me at all cost. His lips quivered as he tried speaking, but was shut off as the door forcefully open from each side, taking us unaware; we got knocked out.

Tokyo, JAPAN✓
3:38am (JST)
Hilton Hotel★
Unable to sleep, Bruce stirred on his bed, picking up his phone to cross check each message. He has gotten Kyla’s message about returning to the clan. He can’t believe that the Blood Clan will be back on the game so soon. And the fact that they succeeded in taking down both Mica and Kelvin is worrying.

His mind flashed back to his moments with the duo, he hasn’t been that friendly with Kelvin, but he feel so hurt loosing him. Mica on the other hand is a sweet lady; if anyone should die, he wouldn’t think her as the first. When it come to strength and intelligence, even Moonlight still learns from her. Mica is one of the oldest member of the clan, aside Jade; she is considered the best.

Getting off the bed, he proceeded into the bathroom, turning on the faucet to watch his face. He stared at his reflexion in the wall mirror, looking at how huge he had become over the years. Another figure appeared behind in, her features reflected in the mirror. She used the blanket to cover her nude self, hugging him from behind.

A pretty Japanese lady, who he found interest in when he arrived the country. He has had a lot of fun time with other ladies, but this one seem to stick to him, cos of the communication aspect; she speaks clear Britain English. Her beauty isn’t dulling, she is one of the prettiest lady he has seen here.

“Are you not sleeping?” She asked, sleepily. He sighed. “Go back to bed Rei” he ordered. She lingered for a while before breaking the hug

“You’re okay?” She inquired. He turned to face her, pulling her into a tight hug. “I’m fine..just go to sleep okay” he pecked her lips. She deepened it.
“Ok…I will be waiting”

After she left, he walked towards the WC, opening the top where he kept one of his revolver. He had been having this weird feeling of danger ever since the news got to me. He feels insecure. He fixed in bullets in the cartridge, corking and uncorking it.
~~
I was yet to place it back when Rei’s scream got to me. My heartbeat accelerated; the loud scream turned into silent muffin, as silence took in. Someone just broke into the room. I gently placed my ear on the door, paying rasp attention to the movement.The intruder seem to be searching for me, and his footstep was coming directly to the bathroom, but stopped abruptly.

Perhaps waiting for me to step out, but I’m smarter than that. With the corked gun in my hand, I waited patiently for whosoever it is. The footstep seem to be retreating; I gently step out of the bathroom, sighting Rei sprawled on the bed.

The dark room seem cold this time, perhaps fear triggered it. It was also empty; the fellow might have left. I walked towards her, checking her pulse; it was faint. She is not yet dead, just unconscious…thank gawd.

The feeling came again, I could feel it’s presence. I could see the dark figure with the side of my eyes. With my gun still in position, I turned swiftly, taking a quick shot. He had added a silencer to his gun; same goes for mine.

“Argh…” The assassin grunt, firing a straight shot which narrowly missed my shoulder. “F**k” I fired a quick shot, targeting his leg. Perhaps I got him this time, he groaned loudly falling to the ground. I took the opportunity to kick off his gun, giving him a head cut.

“Who the hell are you” I questioned, grabbing his throat. He smirked in pains, grunting. “bas***d”

“Tell me now, or I’ll pull this bullet into your brain” I snarled. He chuckled. “If you ki*ll me, you lose..there are many of us out there…you will be down in a twinkle of an eye…..”

I pulled a bullet into his head before he could complete his statement. “Gawd…I need to leave here immediately. I looked back at Rei, I can’t leave her here….how will I get out.

Wolves Clan
Kyla’s POV
“Any news from Jade yet” I asked Evans who seem to be on the system, trying to map out their location. He sighed. “No” his reply seem cold, to depict how tired he is. I gently caress his hair; my other hand eased his tensed shoulders
“I’m sorry..I think I’m over stressing you” I voiced out. He turned to face me. “You are the one being stressed Kyla, and whereas we are in this together…for the members, for the clan.” He assured. “Thanks” I smiled sadly. It’s already 7pm and Jade is yet to call back, I will just have to reach them.

I called her line, it rang for a while without anyone picking up. “She’s not picking” I muttered, trying not to panic.

“Perhaps they got held up in traffic or something” Evans chipped in. I shook my head. “That’s not it, she should be picking her calls. The men I sent to bring them are still waiting at the stand point.”

I called again for that second time, It got connected after the first ring. I placed it on my ear, not wanting to speak at first. “Lady Mafia….” Don’s voice sounded from the background. I froze. I didn’t speak a word.

“I know that you are there…anyways, I know you know the owner of this phone…and that mean one thing…I don’t need to explain much..” he paused, giving a devilish chuckle.

“A message will be sent to you soon…read it, and report to the location, else…two gone, two more will go.”

He dropped the call, and immediately a message entered. The location given was stated, but another message caught my sight. It’s seem to have been sent about 30 minutes ago, anonymously.

“If you love your men, check out Adirondack Mountains…you have thirty minutes” it states
I let out a frustrated sigh.

“What is wrong?” Evans asked, standing to his feet. I handed over the phone to him.

“Send message to the other members, trainees and guards. We are leaving for Adirondack Mountains” I coldly replied
“Is that where they were held up?” He asked. I smirked. “Don is playing a foul game by sending me a wrong location….now he has a mole in his clan.
