Chapter 113: Conspiracy

Current Location: Kong City

"We don't need to steal from people," Lyca uttered. "At least not personally." She stood in front of a club and eyed the neon lights that were illuminating the club's name 'Conspiracy' "I love its name." She added, beaming.

He looked at her side profile. This club was in the middle of Kong City. He eyed the people lining outside of the club and immediately noticed their high-end clothes. He immediately wondered if Lyca was planning to go clubbing just after visiting a hot spring.

"This is a high-end club. What are we doing in this place?" He asked. "It is full of cameras."

"I want to own this place."

His eyebrow rose. A club? Lyca wanted to own a club? Pursing his lips, Shen Qui examined the place. Aside from being really high end, the club looked clean on the outside. It seems that security was pretty tight too. He didn't ask her why she wanted to own a club. Shen Qui already guessed her answer.

Lyca wanted to blend in and disappear in the crowd.

"Law 18- Do not build fortresses to protect yourself— Isolation is dangerous," Lyca said without looking at him. She could sense the confusion in Shen Qui's gaze. So she explained further. "In a crowd. You are shielded from your enemy." Shen Qui had learned the art of war and engaging against a more powerful enemy. While she… she learned the art of blending in. The art of survival when pursued. She turned towards Shen Qui, a smile was already on her face.

Then she continued. "I am planning to recruit experts, not people who worked from the government. These are people who hated restrictions and rules and being controlled. If I wanted to lead them… I need a place like this."

He nodded. He completely understood her point.

"Now… since you are the future big boss of the club. You should make all the preparations and talk to the big boss of the club. Negotiate." She added and gave him a folder from the car. 

Shen Qui immediately opened the folder and watched a character profile of a man that looked like he was in his early thirties. Blond short hair, and a single earring on his right ears. The man was clearly a foreigner even his name sounded like one. "Santa Rivers." He uttered the name.

"He owns the club. His business is counterfeits from money to jewelry. He is also a coward." Lyca uttered. "You go talk to him after two hours."

Shen Qui looked at her without saying anything. Lyca already gave her the files that included their plan. "You sure about this?"

"Yes, Qui'er." Lyca beamed and tiptoed to kiss him. "Burn them once you're done." She uttered and winked at him. Without waiting for him to say anything, Lyca passed him a leather jacket and drove the car away from the club.

.....................…

Two hours later.

Current Location: Conspiracy Club, Kong City.

"He is available to see you now." A man whose face was full of the dark tattoo said. He didn't hide the tinge of disgust in his voice as he looked at the pretty body in front of him. In response, Shen Qui downed the glass of whiskey and followed the man towards the second floor of the club.

Just like his initial observation, the club was indeed not someplace where anyone could get into. It was also clean and most patrons were calmly talking in booths instead of dancing and shouting in the middle of the dance floor. The man let Shen Qui to a black door that needed one's fingerprint to be able to get into. When the two walked inside the door, Shen Qui immediately noticed the soundproof walls that canceled the loud of the music outside.
