8 Carlo

~Whistle~ I whistled as I looked at our ride. Nissan GT-R.

"Nice Ride."

"Thanks, it's my personal car. I am a car enthusiast" answered Mr.Hrist.

"Not bad for an underground gang"

"You would be shocked" he just scoffed at my comment.

'Well, joining these guys may rather be beneficial to me' a passing thought occurred in my mind. Looking at the car and plane tickets he managed to procure, this gang was certainly not stingy and had potential to be my underlings.

"What's the name of your boss, if I may ask?"

"He goes by Carlo, be careful around him as he is triggered rather easily"

'So a psychopath then, great'

We soon arrived at the mansion, which was beautifully large and was sparkling with women in bikinis. I honestly had multiple chances to knock out Mr.Hrist and steal his car, but decided against it. I wanted some backing in the underworld business, so I would act like listening to Carlo for a while.

"Make sure to not say anything offensive to Carlo" Hrist reminded me again as I just nodded. We were walking inside the mansion, as I was scanning the place around.

We soon arrived in front of a door, Mr.Hrist just pushed it open without knocking and what appeared in front of me was a pool with beautiful girls in it, surrounding a black bald man, with drinks in his hand.

As we arrived, Carlo-who I assumed is the black man surrounded by women turned his head and snapped his fingers looking behind him.

Soon a gang member made his way and first searched me for any hidden weapon. After he finished searching, he gave me a look to intimidate me. I just stared at him with my piercing gaze as he flinched and looked down.

'Don't try when you don't have the balls' I rolled my eyes inside my mind.

He spoke to Mr.Hrist and began to show us the way to a room, which I assumed to be the guest room.

We just sat there and waited for Carlo, I was constantly making scenarios inside my head to beat these people and escape if things go south. As I was making the 22nd scenario, the door opened and Carlo walked in. He had a Hawaii shirt and gold chain on his body, he had nine golden rings on his fingers and sunglasses on his face.

I cringed hard by his dressing sense as he walked towards Mr.Hrist and gave him a hug and pat on the shoulders.

"David! HAHA how have you been, it has been a while"

"I am fine Carlo, just arrived this morning and came here to meet you, this is the man you asked for, he goes by the name Greek"

"Greek huh?" Carlo raised his eyebrows and smiled seeing me.

"So you're the gambler that stole 5 mil in NY?" Carlo asked with a smile, showing a golden canine inside his mouth.

"More like earned" I gave a half-hearted reply as I saw the room get tense.Mr.Hrist was already on his toes to stop Carlo's outburst, but the outburst never happened.

"HAHAHA! You have balls, I give you that!" Carlo laughed his ass off as he walked towards his luxurious chair. Well, maybe he is a clever psychopath.

____________________

The meeting lasted for thirty minutes as Carlo tried to read me by asking questions about my background and what games do I specialize in. What is my win ratio etc.

I gave him a fake background and spoke convincingly, but I doubt he got fooled.

As the meeting ended, Carlo exited the room with three of his members and Mr.Hrist and I were left inside the room.

"That went better than expected" he gave a sigh of relief as he spoke, seriously why is he so scared of a normal psychopath with guns around him, he doesn't have the balls to look Carlo in straight in the eye.

Mr.Hrist dropped me to a hotel and explained me my job again. I am required to play for Carlo in the big boys' table where the bets are big. The big boys' table he was referring to was the game where most of the allies in this business participates, I get to keep 10% of the money I win for him and based on my performance he will keep introducing me to bigger tables.

Seriously, this is a loosing deal for me, but I get to meet the rich and powerful people in the business. The opportunity to make allies lies on me during the game.

Well with Kanoh Agito's body I am not afraid that I'll get seriously hurt and with my brain I am confident to escape in any situation, I had to also make a fake identity of Kanoh Agito in the server of the Japanese public security Intelligence Agency so that Carlo would not doubt my fake identity.

I am not too worried about him finding out my fake profile, as finding no profile would be more suspicious than a fake one.

After entering my room, I did not undo my template, I hacked the server of the JPSIA and entered my details and faked it as an old record, I later took a bath and slept on the luxurious king-sized bed and drifted into the world of dreams
