Making The Move

It is none other than Leo Maxwell, who was frowning with a half-lit cigarette in his mouth. He wore a full white suit and had a Rolex on his hands. In comparison to his subordinates, he seemed more cultured. He was lying back in his chair, resting his legs on his table.

Leo was the boss around here. He could speak both English and French fluently, like a native speaker. Right now, he was speaking in a perfect American accent.

He looked Alex and Brian up and down, taking in all the details. A frown appeared on his face as he failed to identify them. His right hand crept its way toward the shotgun hidden underneath his table.

Alex and Brian saw through Leo right away. They briefly shared a look. No words were exchanged, but their eyes conveyed everything that needed to be said.

Neither Leo nor his subordinates saw this transpiring, as it happened in a split second.

"Why can't he just use the phone? Also, when did he hire both of you new faces?" Leo said with obvious drought evident on his face.

"Do you think the director is in a situation where he can still use the phone to contact you? He doesn't even dare to use his police officers anymore?" Alex said.

"That's why he hired us to contact you. This meeting has to be as secretive as possible. At the moment, there are a lot of eyes observing the chief." Brian added.

Leo relaxed a bit as he heard Alex and Brian's explanation but being a cautious individual; he tried to investigate further.

"Do you have any proof for what you are saying?" He asked.

"Here," Alex tossed a platinum business card at Leo.

Leo caught the card with his free hand. As he looked at it, he visibly relaxed. He let go of the shotgun trigger and placed his right hand on his table in plain sight.

"Who did you offend?" Alex asked with a frown.

"Damn it, how do I know?!"

Speaking of this, Leo is so angry that he throws the cigarette in his mouth on the ground and stamps it out angrily multiple times. His anger didn't dwell even a little bit. Instead, it has increased.

"You should take responsibility. You guys had agreed to keep us and our business safe and running, no matter what. You have to follow your part of the agreement."

"Yes, but we also said that you should not act too flamboyantly. And it would have been best if you had checked your victims' backgrounds before you did anything!" Alex refused to budge.

"It must be that you have touched someone you shouldn't have provoked due to your fucking stupidity. And that person is responsible for all this shit that has been going on."

"Tell me are you satisfied now?" Alex said in anger.

"Fuck, what can I do? I need money and the boss needs more goods. We can't change what has already happened."

"You have to protect us like our original agreement. You can't go back on your words," Leo pleaded.

"Is the boss you referring to is Mr. Patrice Carly?"

Alex suddenly changed his previous agitation and pissed-off expression and asked in a calm and patient tone.

"Of course not, he's just an intermediary. But even he is an untouchable existence for us. How can weaklings like us have any direct contact with the true boss..."

"Oh! So that's how things are." Alex looked at Brian and then slightly nodded his head.

"Wait a minute," Leo said in confusion.

"How do you know about Mr Patrice Carly?"

Leo finally came to his senses halfway through Alex's speech. He then looked at Alex with wide eyes.

"Of course, I heard from Director Laurent himself."

"It seems he didn't lie to me." Alex smiled.

Leo is puzzled. He knew exactly what kind of old fox Laurent was. How can someone such as him make such an obvious mistake...

Even if Alex may be his most trusted person, Laurent will never have shared such a piece of sensitive information with anyone.

"What? How could he tell you such an important thing?" He asked Alex.

"When a gun is pressed against your head, as long as you don't want to die. Basically, you will be willing to say everything you know. Even your deepest darkest secrets will be like an open book." Alex said calmly.

As soon as Leo heard Alex's voice, he knew he was in trouble. His hands swiftly moved to the trigger of the shotgun. He needed to kill these two intruders. He tried to shout to his subordinates to shoot Alex and Brian immediately.

But before he could even open his mouth, Alex and Brian had already made their move.

They moved like lightning, quick and deadly in their attack. They had a good tactical understanding of each other, having faced many similar situations in the last few days.

Alex took the front, and Brian took the rear.

Alex first charged forward with a standard knee strike, hitting and crushing a person's chin. The impact was so strong that he could even hear the sound of bones getting crushed.

The person's neck made a 180-degree turn and got ripped off his body, effectively decapitating him. As he fell to the ground, Alex grabbed the pistol on his waist.

Alex had observed the positions of the people around him beforehand, so he instantly opened the safety of the gun and started blasting away.

(BANG)

(BANG)

(BANG)

(BANG)

(BANG)

(BANG)

Brian also followed suit.

(BANG)

(BANG)

(BANG)

(BANG)

(BANG)

(BANG)

The two eliminated all the enemies in the room except Leo quickly and effectively...

It took less than two minutes!

Leo Maxwell froze in place. It's not that he didn't want to draw his gun. But Alex's gun was already aimed at his head. He raised his hand in the air. He hadn't even seen how his men got killed due to Alex's and Brian's extremely fast movements.

The person who reacted the fastest only had time to draw out his gun. And then Brian grabbed that gun and killed the rest of them with it.

"What do you want? Tell me, I can get you anything you want." Leo said decisively.

"Don't you have anything new to say? It's always this same boring talk every time." Alex shook his head in disapproval.

"I don't have time for your bullshit. Sweet dreams..." Alex then decisively knocked Leo out with a single blow using the gun.

"A few more are coming," Brian said.

There were only a few people at Leo's office. After hearing the intense gunshots, the rest of the human trafficking scum started to rush over.

"Those scums are rushing here like cockroaches. Brian, go and try to find your daughter. I'll take care of them." Alex said with a smile as he loaded his gun.

"Alright," Brian said.

He had no doubts about Alex's combat power. Even if he was asked to fight Alex one-on-one, he had no confidence in winning, let alone these gangsters.

"Take care." Brian nodded and left.

As Brian left through a different door to the storage area in search of "goods," Alex locked the door they came in from. Most of the thugs were coming from that direction.

He then began to search the room for more weapons. He picked up a few more pistols.

"Guess the gangsters didn't have any heavy guns. Oh well, next time." Alex sighed.

Alex swiftly cleared the top of Leo's desk, tossing the items on it to the ground. He then loaded the guns he had collected and placed them on the table, aiming them at the door as the gangsters started to beat violently on it.

(BOOM)

(BOOM)

As Alex prepared for the gangsters' arrival, he noticed something in the corner of the room. It was a human-sized box covered in dust, and something about it seemed to draw him in. He couldn't resist his curiosity and quickly made his way over to the box, tossing the dust cloth aside to reveal the occupant inside.

A predatory smile spread across Alex's face as he gazed down at what was inside the box. "Oh boy, what do we have here..." he muttered to himself.
