A DOCK, 7PM*
The black car pulled to a stop on the rusty ground, and Madden came out with the girls at the same time.
The clan trades with several cartels, and Wild Boars are one of the biggest, so this is not their first meeting, but The Pakhan sensed a wrong click at their end, which is why he sent Madden instead of Igor to avoid unnecessary mishaps.
The two girls stayed on his right and left side, and the sound of the waves crashing against the pier rented the air as he rested on the car, occasionally checking the time in his pocket watch.
He's obviously getting impatient.
"I kept wondering why you took Micheal in when he didn't pass. You don't do things without a reason" Poe broke the silence.
"Of course I don't. I'll keep the reason to myself...for now" he replied point-blank.
"He didn't do anything wrong, did he? Are you planning to kill him?" Jinx asked quickly.
Before he could give her a reply, Wild Boars appeared.
They're supposed to be five like their usual number in past meetings, but it's just one man right now.
Despite that, Madden straightened up, zeroing his eyes till the man got to them.
"Where are the bags?" Madden questioned.
"I'm afraid I'm not here to trade today, I only wanna talk" the bald man replied, adjusting his coat.
Jinx made to attack him, but Madden stopped her with a glare, so she stepped back.
"And you think I'd leave the comfort of my manor and come here only to talk?" His arctic eyes returned to the man.
"I don't think it's forbidden to talk to your trading partners once in a while. It'll be a harmless talk, in my car" the man replied seriously.
"Lead the way" Madden replied, and he really did.
The girls tried following too, but a raise of Madden's hand stopped them, and they stayed back beside the car, watching him leave with the man.
He walked behind him, taking each step with glaring nonchalance, and soon, he saw the man's red car waiting at the other end of the dock.
"I guess you planted your car that far for a purpose" he knowingly said, and the man turned back to him.
"Yeah, and also because we'll never be entering. The only place you have the right to enter right now is hell. Goodbye, Madden Orlov" he smiled, and Madden looked around.
Just like he suspected, the dock is surrounded by the remaining Wild Boars, all aiming for him with their handguns.
He looked back at their leader in front of him and let out a satanic chuckle before holding his shoulder.
The man froze at the grab, and Madden leaned in...
"It's a pity you're going to hell before me. Bye" he whispered, and the man's eyes widened as something beeped in his pocket.
Actually, when he was talking to Madden beside the car earlier, Poe slipped a lightweight time bomb in his pocket without his knowledge.
He started panicking as he tried to remove it with shaky hands, but immediately Madden stepped back, the bomb exploded, blasting the man to pieces.
His arms, head, legs, intestines... Everything went scattered on the dock ground, and at the same time, his team surrounding the dock began firing.
Jinx and Poe retaliated almost immediately, bringing them down as bullets began raining like crackers.
Madden got his gun and covered himself with one of the dock pillars, shooting from there and bringing them down too in large numbers.
Jinx and Poe might be the best snipers in the clan, but he taught them, and that makes him the brain behind everything.
He's the mastermind of the best, so together, the three gave Wild Boars a freak show, and three minutes later, they all went down, leaving just Madden and his girls at the now bloody dork with bodies lying around them.
"Thanks for telling me to plant the bomb, master" Poe smiled.
"Their whole cartel should be wiped out, for real" Jinx said.
Madden only entered the car, seething with undeniable rage as the girls joined him.
Poe drove them out of the dork, and Madden glared throughout the ride.
The fact that Wild Boars did this boldly only means they have support from other cartels
They didn't do it alone, and slowly, he'd bring everyone involved in this attack to their knees.
Poe drove into the clan an hour later, and they already met Erik waiting in front of the house of Orlovs.
The girls returned to their residence, but Madden went to him, and the man looked up to him.
"As expected?" He asked.
"You're not the only one with enemies in the underworld after all. They were solely after me" Madden replied, his voice thick.
"But you took them down, as usual" Erik smiled proudly, patting him on the arm.
"I'll handle the rest. I know where to tackle" he said.
"No. I'd like to handle this myself" Madden replied, and Erik nodded at him.
He finally left, and Erik smiled again before entering the building.
From a distance, Igor stood with Andrei under the shadow of a orange light.
"He obviously got attacked" Andrei said.
"What do you mean? I would have taken them down too if it was me who went for the mission. Leave father and mother to their biased preferences, I'll get back at them soon" Igor replied.
Andrei sighed, his breaths heavy.

GENERAL TRAINING GROUND, 10PM*
Loud and Nikolai sat at a safe distance, watching the interesting scene in front of them with keen faces.
Jinx and Poe are currently teaching Adeline how to use a gun, and she's catching on so fast to her own amazement.
She mastered the use of a handgun within an hour. Poe taught her that one.
Right now, Jinx is teaching her how to use a sniper rifle, and it's heavier than she expected.
She was breathing heavily as Jinx balanced the merciless metal on her palm.
"Control your breaths" Jinx told her, and she held it, focusing on the red dot.
"Regulate your heartbeat" Jinx addressed again, stylishly rubbing Adeline's neck.
Adeline tried to regulate her heart rhythm, and her eyes focused again.
"Think of someone you badly wanna kill with a sniper, and pull the trigger" Jinx's final order came, and Adeline closed her open mouth.
She shadowed her eyes at the red dot, and she conjured up the image of her bastard ex boyfriend as the target.
She pulled the trigger, and it flew straight to the red dot, hitting the target.
"Yes!!!" Loud spranged up ecstatically.
"You're good, Micheal" Jinx stroked Adeline's hair fondly, and Poe smiled.
