Chapter 301 - I came bearing gifts actually…
Shreya looked out the vast sky in front of her with a blank look on her face.. there was no emotion on her face as she leaned on her balcony and just looked outside.
"We found one!!" Zack said from behind him..
Shreya's eyes at last flickered.
"Who is it?" Shreya asked.
"Son of the leader.. he is a politician here.. powerful too!" Zack replied.
"How did she miss him?" Shreya asked.
"He is illegitimate.. Nobody knew of him until after the organization's demise. He took over underground. Unless one comes here to inquire personally, it's impossible for them to trace his birth or his whereabouts."
"Will he serve our purpose?" Shreya asked again.
"I don't know.. You will have to meet him to know it!" Zack replied.
"Can we meet him?"
"With all our noisiness, he should approach you rather than the other way around. We made some pretty glaring inquiries.. with his power, it's almost impossible for him not to know even though his arms are not that long.. he is pretty sturdy within T country. He rules the underworld here.. He might not know who you are, but he is going to know that you made the inquiries in no time." Zack said.
"You sure we can get out of there alive once we walk into his trap?" Shreya asked giving him a skeptical look.
"Not sure.. it would depend on what he wants and how well you can exploit it actually.." Zack shrugged.
Shreya just shrugged back and said, "We will cross that bridge when we come to it!! So, for now, we will have to wait ah?"
"Or you can make it easy and go out to the club he hangs out usually.. Anyways, you did want to go home soon!" Zack said.
"Okay, let's make it easy for them then.. Let's go clubbing.." Shreya said walking out of her room briskly.
Half an hour later, both Zack and Shreya were walking into a packed club that was loud and happening even in the early evening hours.
As soon as they stepped in, all activities stopped as people stared at her with pin-drop silence..
She was the only female in the room.. or at least the only one who looked out of place. Every other female seemed to be working girls.. either for the club itself or a date to one of the patrons there. Even though it looked like a typical club, everyone in the city knows this club is off limit for the general public.. this is the place where all the bosses of the underworld met and dealt with their business without the intervention of the police..
This club is a no-man's ground. Nobody is allowed to dispute on their grounds.. if they did, they will most probably end up in a ditch somewhere, either completely dead or halfway there.
T country in itself is a land that is ruled more by these bosses than the government.. and this club owner is kind of the boss of all these bosses here.. he reached that place by being ruthless and smarts.
Shreya looked around and found the one person who gave her a nonchalant look rather than a curious one.. he was the one person who knows who she was and Shreya was here to meet him.
Shreya made her way toward the corner that person was sitting without really bothering with anything else..
She sat down opposite him..
He was a rather handsome dude with blonde hair and green eyes.. His suit was in pristine condition. He just sat there giving Shreya an amused look sipping on his drink.
Shreya just crossed her legs and sat back comfortably.
"TO what do I owe this pleasure, Ms. Shreya?" The person asked with a heavy accent.
"I came bearing gifts actually.. I am just not sure if my gift is going to be valued here.." Shreya said pushing some photos over.
The guy stiffened as soon as his eyes landed on the photo.. a minute passed before his eyes involuntarily shifted to his left and made eye contact with the female beside him..
Shreya caught on to it pretty quickly. Her eyes brightened immediately..
"That is just a sample by the way.. I have more if you guys are interested!" Shreya said now looking at the female beside him rather than the male in the center.
The female's aura changed instantly as her eye met with Shreya's sharply. The male stood up and took a? step back leaving the center place to the female. The female sat back comfortably crossing her legs. She bunched her hair back and secured it with a band revealing a deep scar on the side of her face just beside her ears.
Shreya's eyes twitched slightly but other than that, her face remained calm as ever..
"How did you know I am in charge?" The female asked curiously.
"Well, he might be the son, but the guy grew up being protected endlessly by his father.. he does not seem like someone who had the guts or the street smarts to achieve everything happening here.. plus your faces are similar. Those jaws are a dead giveaway.. So, it was obvious you were not his date.. so, you must be here for another purpose and he looked at you as soon as I handed him the photo which just confirmed my suspicion." Shreya answered.
The female's lips twitched slightly..
Half an hour later, Shreya and Zack walked out of the club with a triumphant smile.. But before either of them could do anything else, they were surrounded by a group of men with guns looking serious..
"Are we going to get kidnapped now? Seriously? Just when I thought we can go home at last?" Shreya whined exasperatedly.
Zack took out his guns while his own guys jumped from the corners..
Even then, they were sourly outnumbered and outgunned.
"Let's not make a scene here.. can we just go with them for now and then regroup?" Shreya pitched in and asked looking around.
Even though they were outnumbered, from the looks of it, none of the assailants seemed to be having a steady hand as they held their gun.. they looked barely above legal age..
