Chapter Thirty-Five

"WHERE ARE THEY?" bungad na tanong ni Evo nang makakuha na ng access. Caiden was just beside him busy navigating the keyboard while he was looking carefully in the monitors attached to the wall. Mabilis nilang kinuha ang access sa mga server's ng Gangsters Headquarters dahil sa nangyari kay 48.

Malinaw ang warning na binigay ni 48. They can no longer access the Stolen Satellite but with the help of the data 48 has transferred to her wristband, Caiden used it to access the remaining servers available under the Queen's group.

"Wala akong magagamit rito sa mga files na 'to, Evo. Mostly, mga back-up files ito ng mga baho ng bawat kaalyado ng Privus ang nilalaman nito. It's like a Yamashita treasure. Who holds this...? Holds the neck of all powerful people." Manghang wika ni Caiden habang ini-scan ang bawat laman ng folders na nakikita sa files.

"Anything that we can use to locate Asia Graham?" tanong nito.

48 said they have to save their Queen. They have to locate her quickly, what they know ay hawak ng mga Aldeguer ang dalaga pero kinakailangan nilang malaman kung saan sa mga ari-arian nila tinago ito.

"She must be here," untag ni Caiden when he slid up video footage.

Kuha 'yon sa isa sa mga malalaking mansyon ng mga Aldeguer, a lot of their members are cheering na patayin ang numero uno nilang balakid sa buhay.

This is the footage kung saan napagkasunduan nilang kunin ang Gangster at Assassin sector.

"Send me the address on my phone," mabilis na untag ni Evo matapos makuha ang leather jacket sa isang tabi.

"Teka! Paano ang mga nasasakupan mo? You'll attack there without any plan?" takang tanong ni Caiden sa kaibigan.

"I am his plan," napatingin sina Evo at Caiden sa isang lalaking itsurang bata dahil sa tangkad nito at inosenteng mukha.

"At sino ka naman, bata?" maangas na tanong ni Caiden lalo pa't may dalang mga tauhan ang batang ito.

"My Lord, let me kill this insolent." May gigil na wika ng loyal na bodyguard ng batang lalaki.

Umiling ang bata rito na mabilis namang sinunod ng may kalakihan nitong bantay. Masama ang tingin kay Caiden habang mahigpit ang hawak sa baril. Napalunok si Caiden sa tahasan niyang pagtatanong lalo pa't naramdaman niya na may kakaiba sa batang ito. He's not just a kid.

"Meet my right-hand, Leo. Caiden Richards." Pagpapakilala ni Evo sa kanya, "Caiden, meet the Progenitor and Heir of the House of Vertucio—Leopold Vertucio."

Kulang nalang ay takasan siya ng kulay sa mukha dahil sa pangalang binanggit ni Evo sa kanya. He didn't expect that this kid... is one of the Progenitors! One of the kin of their Founders!

"Enough with the pleasantries, we are losing our time, Evo. Let's move." Utos ni Leopold kay Evo tapos ay naglakad na ito patalikod.

Evo ordered his men to meet them in the Grand Hall of the Gangster's Headquarters. They gathered them not just to speak as of their new Leader but to also inform them of what was happening.

"Hindi na ako magpapatumpik tumpik pa," una niyang sambit habang nakatayo siya sa isang maliit na podium at kita ang libong myembro ng kanilang sector. "Some of you already knew me as part of the Gang named Oasis. I am here not to officially announce what transpired to the battle happened between me and your weak leader—Lawrence. I am here to ask all of you."

People who are looking at Evo were quiet which is unusual. Some of them knew who is Evo because his team won one of the prestige battles—Gangsters vs. Assassins. On top of that, apart from the Warlords Platoon who holds the biggest number of members in their sector, Evo is a friend of one of the deadliest Gang Leaders—Xavier Villareal. Both men were in a league of their own. That's why some of them didn't argue to oppose Evo to become their new Leader. Lawrence was weak anyway, and they'd rather choose a son of the well-known Crusader who became an inspiration to some, rather than stick their loyalty with an asshole, Lawrence.
