9 Arrival

Inside the back seat of the jet black Rolls Royce vehicle, there sat an important figure belonging to the Immortal Bloods Gang. His hair was blond and neatly tidied. His eyes were blue like the ocean and had a long slender nose. To top it off, the man's face was spotless and perfect. He bit the bottom of his lip as he read the information on his tablet, looking unintentionally seductive. Any female that sees this man would inevitably fall in love with him.

Seated beside the important man was a female that had short hair reaching her chin. She had freckles on her cheeks and wore round glasses to finish off her nerdy look. In any circumstance, the lady did not dare turn her head to look at her boss. Her name was Ling Yi and was the Head of Intelligence in the Immortal Bloods Gang.

"B..Boss. We have reached the base." Ling Yi stuttered as she tried to inform her boss of their arrival.

"Mmm?" The handsome man reacted, turning his head to look at the entrance to their base. He kept his tablet inside the car compartment and rubbed just below his eyebrows to get rid of fatigue.

"Let us go out and take a look." As the blond man spoke, the bodyguard sitting at the front of the vehicle got off and helped to open the door for his boss.

The perfect man was none other than the current Mafia Boss of the Immortal Bloods Gang, Jovia Tabola. Wearing a nice black suit with a formal long sleeve white shirt, it made Jovia look extremely charming to one's eyes. The mafia boss tidied his suit slightly, while Ling Yi scuttled quickly to her boss's side.

When stood together, the 156cm Head of Intelligence looked like a child compared to the towering 185cm Mafia Boss. As they walked through the entrance together, there were already two rows of guards on each of their sides. They bowed to Jovia respectfully, not raising their heads even once.

Jovia did not pay attention to such details. Rather, he focused more on the design and infrastructure of their base. Not missing out a single detail, he scanned the surrounding attentively. Seeing that Jovia didn't really care for it, the organiser of such a grand entrance quickly shooed the guards away for fear that they would get on his boss's nerves. The entrance only remained the two guards by the elevator, Ling Yi and Jovia Tabola.

"Ding.." The elevator sound rang in the quiet entrance room and as it opened up, revealed three man inside of it.

"Good afternoon boss!" Jet called out respectfully when he realised that Jovia was already at the entrance. The three of them bowed as a greeting to the mafia boss.

"Mmm, good afternoon." Jovia smiled back. It was expressionless before when the group of guards were present. Only with his closest subordinates would he be willing to move his facial muscles. He spoke to them with a casual tone. "It has been a long time since we last saw each other."

"Yes, boss. It has been exactly 3 months, 16 days, 12 hours and 18 seconds since we last saw each other. I still can't believe you did not take me wit..ahhh!" Jet looked at his watch to confirm his timing. Before he could finish his sentence, Jack pinch the flesh on his brother's butt to stop him from talking.

"Boss, when you are done with taking a look on his level, let me take you downstairs see the setup underground." Kosuke said respectfully.

"Okay." Nodded Jovia. The Mafia boss was extremely attentive to detail. All of his subordinates had put in overtime to make the place perfect. "You can bring me around now, Kosuke."

"Yes, boss." The group of five entered the elevator and proceeded to head into the underground base.

The plan of this abandoned mine was for it to become the base of operations for the Immortal Bloods Gang. As a result, the manmade terrain created by the mining companies was fortified and now, it had come an underground fortress for the mafia. There were many different facilities located in the different branches of the mine. To prevent complications of mines crashing, they had only used the top quarter of mine.

The headquarters had several sub-divisions that was in charge of different objectives. Over the years, the Mafia Gang had expanded into Technology, Medicine, Weaponry Development, Communications and several smaller classes. They were not on the same level as the other Mafia Gangs that were only good for their fighting skills. As they were too many diverse operations occurring at once, they decided that it would be best to station everyone in one area so as to easily maintain communication in the mafia group.

As Kosuke was in charge of the construction of the headquarters and its final tinkering, he brought Jovia Tabola around to each of the sub-divisions for the group to see. Of course, the four heads of Reconnaissance, Intelligence and Surveillance had their own respective office within the headquarters.

"The headquarters came along nicely. It was all thanks to your careful monitoring, Kosuke." Jovia praised. The group of five finally entered the Operations Room where Kosuke called it his home for the past three months.

"No, no. I only merely followed your instructions and put it to action." Embarrassed, Kosuke rubbed the back of his head.

"Well, I was planning to give you a break in the resort in Country M, but since you said that, maybe I should give it to Jet and Jack to enjoy." The Mafia boss owned a beautiful private resort in Country M that could only be used by him and his trusty subordinates.

"Ah? No, no, boss.. You were right. It was thanks to my supervision that the base came out like this." Knowing that the reward would be given to the annoying Jet, Kosuke quickly corrected himself.

Everyone in the room laughed.

The atmosphere in the room was blissful. After all, the beginning five members of the Immortal Bloods Gang had finally reunited after a long period of time.

"Boss, I have a news to report to you." Kosuke remembered the piece of news he wanted to tell Jovia.

"What is it?" He asked.

"There was an attempt of assassination on you earlier in the morning." It was about Ash. Kosuke continued, "A 20 year old university student, by the name Ash Vicars, had disguised himself as a part time worker in our cleaning company and infiltrated our base. We did keep on an eye on him and had successfully captured him. Now, he is undergoing interrogation in Cell A."

"Oh?" Jovia Tabola raised one of his eyebrow as he zoned out slightly. "Take me to Cell A."
