"perez, are your men ready?"

"yes they are, admiral"

"very well, our acanthopis will be there tomorrow, she will be carrying my orders"

"a confirmation will be delivered tomorrow then"

"i'll be waiting"

"count on it admiral"

emil perez smirked as he ended the phone call while puffing his cohiba maduro #5. it was a little over a month ago when he received a message from an unknown and untraceable number about making him a part of their expansion. he dismissed the message at first, thinking it's just a prank or just some random small gang who wanted his attention. but when a sum of 10million US dollar was deposited on his off-shore account. that caught his attention. his undivided attention.

with the request of his distant partners he had gathered three men they will be needing to carry out their plan for tomorrow. eliminate their competition. his tie up with the red serpents indeed boosted his capabilities. their mission, monopoly.

the three men he recruited, theo asuncion a notorious guy from tondo who had been in and out of jail for drug dealing and human trafficking, the second, janus deceno an ex cop who was framed by his colleagues in uniform whom perez offered to help carry out a revenge, the third one, james ocampo a fugitive from US whose was name given directly by one of the red serpents upper echelon.

from what he know, red serpents were headed by a man they only called admiral, below him would be the 1st rank echelon known as the viper, and the 2nd high rank known as the mamba. no one knew their real identity. and as for emil, just so long that his business is well-protected he does not care.

he signalled one of his men to come closer

"brando, kumusta yung pinapaasikaso ko sayo?" he asked his trustee

"boss ok na yung private room sa emperial palace" brando proudly answered

"maaasahan ka talaga. sinigurado mo ba na yung jade room ang nakuha mo?"

"oo naman boss. singkwenta mil ba naman itapal ko sa mukha nung intsik behong manager eh"

napangiti naman si emil, wala talagang hindi nagagawa ang pera

"boss pano pala yung mga bodyguard nya?"

"wag kang mag-alala. pag babae ang usapan siguradong hindi magdadala yung demonyong yun. mukha lang matapang pero pagdating sa asawa bahag ang buntot nun, hindi yun nagsasama ng bodyguard pag nambababae"

naguluhan naman ang tauhan ni emil "boss babae? akala ko ba tayo ang yayari kay kan?"

"relax brando, masyado kang mainit. tayo lang ang may pakana sa pagtumba kay kan, pero hindi kamay natin ang madudumihan" emil stood up then tapped brando's shoulder "pahinga ka muna"

kahit naguguluhan walang nagawa si brando kundi sumunod. kunsabagay, bayad pa rin naman siya ang mahalaga nagawa nya ang inuutos ng kanyang amo.

"boss ibig mong sabihin babae ang tirador nung bago mong kaalyado?"

he laughed at his trustees contemplation

"siguro. ang importante, mawawalan tayo ng isang malaking kakumpetensya."

meanwhile... at nbi's headquarters the following morning...

the four men were busy preparing for javier's insertion.

"sigurado ka ba dyan sa naiisip mo kris?" dir. trajano asked "sigurado ka bang hindi nila yan madedetect kay galvez?"

"sir, aaminin ko this has never been tested yet at kung sakali si galvez pa lang ang unang ahente na gagamit nito, but i have faith in my works"
