Meeting the King of the American Underworld

When they arrived Chris was annoyed "Of all the places he could have a meeting, he invited you here…"

'Well it's not a big deal, just ignore the hookers there and we will be fine, plus I wouldn't expect anything better from him anyway.'

Jemisha and Chris arrived at the door and showed her invitation to the doorman, he let her pass but was blocking Chris.

'You better let my body guard pass or I will make you sorry for provoking me.' Jemisha had a sharp look in her eyes.

The man at the door let Chris pass but first checked him if he was carrying any weapons.

They went inside and Jemisha was hit with the loud noise of the club, that it hurt her ears.

"Are you alright?"

'No…it's too loud.' She covered her ears.

Black Jack's assistant spotted Jemisha and handed her some earplugs.

After a few minuts she felt better.

He told Chris to fallow him and he would bring them to a private room where Jack was waiting.

When they arrived she saw Black Jack surrounded by women and she took out her earplugs.

'Wow Chris you were right about him, but he is not 5 times worse than Blake, he is easily 20 times worse.'

"Are your ears alright? Do you have a peep sound in them?"

'No…but they still hurt a little.'

Black Jack stood up and walked over to Jemisha who had her back turned to him and out of instinct she threw him over her shoulder on to the ground and pinned him down.

All the women and his assistant were shocked, by the mere sight of an 19 year old girl just throwing and adult man like that.

'Ah I'm sorry…'

"Rose you don't need to apologize to him, it serves him right. It's his fault for having you to come here and hurting your ears like that."

Jemisha let go of him and stood back up, and clung to Chris side.

Black Jack got up from the ground and looked at Jemisha from head to toe.

"No wonder you became so infamous, so that's how my former General met his down fall."

'No he just caught me when I was in a very foul mood, and dragging me to his hide out and demanding money from me and ridiculed me, I just straight up attacked him.'

The man started to laugh.

"Well Black Rose, I invited you here to formally acknowledge you as a General of the American underworld."

Jemisha had a look of disbelieve on her face.

'And what if I don't want to be a General of the underworld, can I reject it?'

"Sorry you can't."

'What!!?'

'How am I going to explain this to my brothers…I promised them…'

'Ahh I'm doomed.'

Jemisha called Jack and told him what just happened.

Jack was furious and Jemisha was frightened by his outburst."

Chris took the phone, and calmed him down.

"She didn't ask for this either, she rejected it but it seems she can't."

"Fine…but this isn't over."

"Please don't yell at her when she is back home and same goes for Jake, because yelling will only make her turn and run away."

Chris ended the call.

'Well now that I suffered a loss, how are you going to make it up to me, because I got dragged in to the underworld…'

'I got it, you're going to help me.'

"Help you how?"

'Well Australia falls under your jurisdiction right?'

"It does…"

"Wait…do you want me to exile the former king of the Asian underworld?"

'What?, no…for as long as the 5 generals of Harvey are in your jurisdiction he cannot order them around.'

"Well that's not a problem."

'Good.'

'Now all that is needed is to lessen his influence in the American underworld…'

"What are you planning?"

'Well I'm already killing that bastard economics…I won't take much for me to restore the European underworld.'

Jemisha gave him the names and all the hide outs of 3 gang heads Black Jack was after.

'Well this intel is accurate, and since you want their heads I give them to you, in exchange for the man power and access to few private air strips.'

Black Jack laughed. "For a girl who doesn't want to be in the underworld, you have quiet the collection of information."

'Well of course…if you're a business women you need to know anything related to any other company that's out there. How else do you think I got in trouble with the Serale…I refused them because I knew all about them.'

'Something that may look clean on the surface doesn't mean it's clean under the surface.'

He laughed again.

"Then what do you know about me?"

Jemisha looked at him and frowned 'You want me to expose everything about you with this many people around?'

"I don't mind…"

'Alright but don't blame me if you get punched.'

'Here I go then.'

'Your real name is Jonas Swift, you took the name Black Jack when you became the King of the American underworld, you gained this position at the age of 18 by killing your own father. You married 3 times and with your 3rd wife you have son called José who is now 20 years old.'

'You got your nephew Chris Swift in to illegal racing at the age of 16 and he went professional at the age of 17 because you pushed him to do so.'

'Now that he has a successful running business you have seen his potential and now eyeing him again for the hand down of your throne as the new King of the American underworld. Because your biological son doesn't amount to much.'

'Currently, you are divorced and fill your needs by having women around you. Then there is of course the 3 gangs that had screwed you over in Europe and want them dead, but couldn't do anything about it because of the former King of the European underworld.'

'You started to noticed me the moment I was targeted by the former King of the Asian underworld, and I started my battle with the Serale.'

'So you just sat there and watch how I struggle in battle, but I picked your interest even more when I won the battle. You dug a little info on me and found out I started dating your nephew. You didn't found me a threat because even though I'm the big boss of the Ocelot I didn't care much for the position and let them operate and be independent, I'm not a threat to you so you let me be.'

'But it all changed the moment the old Asian King contacted you complaining about his grandson being kicked out of Venezuela by me.'

'He probably asked you to summon me, and let you teach me my place. But since I'm dating your nephew and saw my beauty and probably also found out I'm the little sister of Conor brothers you were advice to approach me as friendly as possible.'

'But even though you are a man who rules close to the grey area, and value family more than women, you rather want to protect me then to harm me, because you can't risk the furry of a boyfriend who is family and two brothers who are very skilled mercenaries.'

Black Jack started to clap "Everything you said is correct. Even the last part although you couldn't have known, is correct."

'Well my brain works different from your so…'

Chris started to laugh and pulled her in his arms.

"Cariña, what you said about him pulling me in to illegal racing and giving me the throne is that true?"

'It is, if you don't believe me why not ask him yourself.'

Black Jack nodded.

Chris wanted to punch him but Jemisha stopped him.

'Well if he didn't lay out that path for you we would never had met, so be thankful to him he did.'

'Although you carry the scares of your past as an illegal racer, they will be gone soon, and you can move forward.'

"Black Rose… alright I'll give it a rest."

Black Jack then told everybody to leave the room and told Chris and Jemisha to sit down.

"Alright let's get back to business."

"It's true the old king asked me to teach you your place but I'm not going to, because I indeed hold family higher than an old man complains."

"I won't pull you down in to the underworld, but having the title of General protects you more then you know. With it you can request any lower gang to move on your command and even stop the influence of the old man."

"Even though you are not married to Chris, I still consider you as family, and I will protect my family."

"But I do need to warn you, if the old king gets cornered to deep he will lash out even if he doesn't have much resources he will come after you personally."

"But he isn't the only one you need to be careful of."

'Who else?'

"Your former adoptive brother Hades."

"While Harvey had placed his trust in you to become the new head of the Argenti, he had to let go of you because of the danger the old man posed on you. And if Hades finds out that his father wanted to give you the position he will take the position and he will find a way to kill you, because even though he doesn't have the position title, he still will have the means to take you out."

Jemisha massaged her temporal lobes 'Why are brother such headaches, if my former stepbrother wasn't enough of a freaking nuisance I have a former adoptive brother who is just as bad.'

'I should ask Harvey to leach up that brat…'

Jemisha went quiet and stated to focus on the sound on the other side of the door.

'Black Jack do you expect company?'

"No…"

Jemisha smirked, "Just invite them in and don't worry about me. Fooling and pranking people is my specialty anyway.'
